Possession (1981)

Possession is a 1981 horror movie starring Isabelle Adjani, Sam Neill and Margit Carstensen. Directed by Andrzej Żuławski and written by Żuławski with Frederic Tuten. Anna (Adjani) begins displaying an odd behavior shortly after asking her husband, Mark (Neil), for a divorce. Mark quits his job, dedicating himself to his family. As he tries to make amends however, he discovers something much bigger and more sinister than adultery.


The following weapons were used in the film Possession:


Pistols

Walther PPK

Zimmermann (Shaun Lawton]) carries a Walther PPK under his suit. He loses it shortly after drawing it, and it is carried by Mark for the rest of the movie.

A uniformed officer is briefly seen with a PPK.

Revolvers

Unidentifiable Revolver

A revolver is drawn by one of the shooters during the final moments of the movie. The scene is too dark and the gun too far to discern distinguishable features. It may be a Smith & Wesson Model 36 or a Colt Detective Special as both were very popular at the time.

A hammer is visible (eliminating hammerless and shrouded hammer models) but unfortunately no other distinguishing features are visible.

Heckler & Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm, for comparison
The shape of the magazine combined with the setting (West Berlin, West Germany) indicates that the poorly visible gun is an MP5.
