The real Johnny Ross uses a Colt 1911 at the end of the movie when Bullitt corners him at the airport. He uses the Colt 1911 to shoot the security guard just before Bullitt kills him.

World War 2 issued Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP.

Winchester Model 1897

The two hitmen that shoot "Ross" and later shoot at Bullitt from the Charger during the car chase use a Winchester pump-action shotgun. It is a Winchester Model 1897 pump action shotgun. The Model 1897 was designed by John Browning and had an exposed hammer like a lever action rifle. The version used by the hitman is what is known as a "takedown" model. After he shoots the Ross impersonator you can see it taken down when he seperates the barrel/magazine from the reciever. It also appears the the hitman's model has had the barrel cut down to at least 18". The stock appears to be cut down. The shotgun also appears to be a 12 gauge, but there is no way to make certain of its actual guage.
