Handguns

Ruger P94

In the beginning of the film, Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) uses a Ruger P94 to shoot two black robbers/gangbangers who are trying to steal his truck. He kills one, and wounds the other, but he kills the final robber by brutally curbstomping him just before the police arrive. He fires 24 rounds without reloading from a single 10 or 15 round magazine, in boxers with no pockets to store extra magazines.

Glock 21

Seth (Ethan Suplee) carries a Glock 21 in the film. It can be seen in full detail when he lays it down on the bathroom sink in the Vinyard's home. Later on in the movie he uses it to threaten Derek (Edward Norton) at the party after Derek resigns from the neo nazi gang. However, Derek manages to take the gun from him, and uses it to threaten the gangmembers so he can get away from the party. Later on he unloads the gun, and discards the weapon in a dumpster while throwing the magazine in a trash can.

Other

Unknown shotguns

At the party after Derek's (Edward Norton) release from prison, a neo nazi gueard can briefly be seen with an unknown shotgun. It coulde be a Remington 870 with an extended magazine tube. Also, when Derek is in prison, a guard can briefly be seen holding a shotgun with an extended magazine tube from a distance. It it unlikely for the shotguns to be identified, as they are never seen in full detail, and always from a distance.
