The [[Thompson Submachine Gun]] appears in the later M1921AC configuration in .45ACP with a 50-round drum magazine. The firearms in the story are surplus military weapons and are sold illegally to the IRA by Nucky Thompson([[Steve Buscemi]]). This model Thompson was not introduced until 1926 which is chronologically out of place.
Enoch "Nucky" Thompson ([[Steve Buscemi]]) travels to Ireland to sell a shipment of [[Thompson Submachine Guns]] to the IRA. The particular model featured is the M1921AC configuration with a 50-round drum magazine of .45 ACP ammunition, not developed until 1926 (anachronistic during a scene set in 1921.)

This article or section is for a series that is Ongoing, or currently on the air and thus is a continuous work in progress. Screencaps may not be immediately available and information may not be up to date.
Several characters throughout the series, including Sheriff Elias "Eli" Thompson (Shea Wigham), Al Capone (Stephen Graham), Agent Sebso (Erik Weiner), Agent Sawicki (Joseph Aniska), and Chicago mob boss Sheridan use the Smith & Wesson Model 10, known during the show's era (the 1920s) as the "Military & Police" Model.
Agent Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon) fires a Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB (anachronistic for the 1920s era) at the firing range with the other Prohibition agents in training during the pilot episode.
Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) carries a Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless in a shoulder holster. It is differentiated from the .380 ACP Model 1908 in "Home" (1.07), when Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) asks Jimmy what type of pistol he is carrying and Jimmy responds: "A Colt 1903".
M1911 pistols are used throughout the series by several characters. Some of Sheridan's men in "Family Limitation" (1.06) carry M1911s. Nelson Van Alden (Michael Shannon) carries one in a shoulder holster. "Chalky" White (Michael K. Williams) uses a matched set of nickel 1911s to capture Meyer Lansky in "The Emerald City" (1.10). Capone (Stephen Graham) uses one for an assassination in "A Return to Normalcy" (1.12).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingGillian holds Luciano's S&W in "Belle Femme" (1.09). Based on the size in her small hands, it appears to be a .32-caliber rather than the larger .38-caliber model.
Remington 1866 Derringer
Eddie Kessler (Anthony Laciura), Nucky's faithful German valet/bodyguard, fires a Remington 1866 Derringer at the D'Alessio brothers when they attempt to kill Nucky in "Belle Femme" (1.09).
Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) mentions a "Webley .455" as one of his handguns, finally drawing a Webley Mk VI during a showdown with Sleater in "A Dangerous Maid" (2.03).
Many characters use full length side-by-side Double Barreled Shotguns throughout the series. Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) uses one when ambushing Rothstein's truck drivers in the pilot episode.
Browning Auto-5 shotguns are used by several characters throughout the series. In the pilot episode, Al Capone (Stephen Graham) carries a Browning Auto-5, as do several of Rothstein's drivers and several Prohibition agents. Richard Harrow (Jack Huston) carries a cut-down Auto-5 in "21" (2.01).
Luparas are used in several episodes. Al Capone (Stephen Graham) uses one in "Family Limitation" (1.06) to ambush members of Sheridan's Irish mob. Richard Harrow also uses one against the D'Alessio brothers in the episode "Return to Normalcy" (1.12)
Enoch "Nucky" Thompson (Steve Buscemi) travels to Ireland to sell a shipment of Thompson Submachine Guns to the IRA. The particular model featured is the M1921AC configuration with a 50-round drum magazine of .45 ACP ammunition, not developed until 1926 (anachronistic during a scene set in 1921.)
Jimmy Darmody (Michael Pitt) carries a 1918 Mark I Trench Knife in his left boot. The writers are doing a little bit of homework on this series as when Jimmy is asked what the point on the top of the handle is he says it's a skull crusher and is used for "cracking walnuts."
