The round is said to be "a shorter version of the African big game cartridge" implying it is not a pistol cartridge, which isn't particularly true: while the parent case of .475 Wildey is indeed a rifle case (.284 Winchester), this is not a cartridge that sees much use in big game hunting in Africa (it was used primarily for hunting deer and elk in the US and Canada, and never really caught on), and the .475 round itself is the same length as a .45 Winchester Magnum and very much a pistol cartridge. |

Death Wish 3 is the third installment in the Death Wish film series. In this 1985 sequel, following the rape and / or murder of pretty much everyone he has ever associated with, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson), aka "The Vigilante", finds himself battling street punks in order to bring peace back to a once quiet New York neighborhood. Despite the New York setting, the film was actually made in England.
The following weapons were used in the film Death Wish 3:
Handguns
Wildey Hunter
Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) takes delivery of a mail-order Wildey Hunter with an 8" barrel and uses it as his main weapon for the remainder of the film. In real life, the gun was Bronson's personal pistol. The gun is said to be chambered for .475, which, in line with the action film arms race of the 1980s, is specifically pointed out to be larger than .44 Magnum to show that Kersey is packing more heat than Dirty Harry. The round is said to be "a shorter version of the African big game cartridge" implying it is not a pistol cartridge, which isn't particularly true: while the parent case of .475 Wildey is indeed a rifle case (.284 Winchester), this is not a cartridge that sees much use in big game hunting in Africa (it was used primarily for hunting deer and elk in the US and Canada, and never really caught on), and the .475 round itself is the same length as a .45 Winchester Magnum and very much a pistol cartridge.
Colt Cobra
Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) carries a Colt Cobra throughout the film. He uses it along with a Wildey Hunter. Near the end of the film, several gang members also use this gun during the final shootout.
Colt New Service
A Colt New Service revolver is used by gang members.
Smith & Wesson Model 19 Snub Nose

Rifles
M16 Rifle
An M16 rifle is used by several punks towards the end of the film. The rifle is hard to identify because there is never have a real clear shot or close-up of it. It is unknown whether this is an actual M16 or just a replica such as an MGC M16.

Others
M72 LAW
At the end of the film, Paul Kersey (Charles Bronson) uses a rocket launcher what appears to be an M72 LAW fitted with a fake pistol grip and trigger. He rather comically managed to fire it in the same room as his target with the back of the tube up against a wall, which should probably have killed everyone in the room. Kersey is also seen loading a rocket into the weapon.
Zip Gun
Rodriguez (Joseph Gonzalez) carries a zip gun that fires shotgun shells during the final shootout.
