Muerte de un quinqui (never released in English; direct translation of the title is Death of a Hoodlum) is a 1975 Spanish crime thriller directed by León Klimovsky. After a jewelry store heist, one of the criminals, Marcos (Paul Naschy), deceives his companions and disappears with the loot. While the other robbers search for him, Marcos hides in the remote province and is hired as a manservant on an estate where a disabled man lives with his wife and daughter.
The following weapons were used in the film Death of a Hoodlum (Muerte de un quinqui):
Handguns
Astra 400
A suppressed Astra 400 pistol is used by Marcos (Paul Naschy) during the openingheist. Later, he is seen with this pistol in several scenes, using it with and without the suppressor. Astra 400 pistols are also used by Martín (Frank Braña) and his henchmen.
A heel mounted magazine release allows to identify the pistol as the Astra 400, contrary to the similar-looking Astra 600 which has a lanyard ring on this location.
Star Model B
In the opening scene Samano, (Francisco Nieto), the second robber, is armed with an M1911-style pistol. Similar looking pistols are also seen in the hands of other criminals, including Martín (Frank Braña). As the movie is Spanish, these pistols are likely Spanish versions of the M1911, like the Star Model B (or maybe a Super B).
A young robber (Pedro Mari Sánchez) holds a nickel-plated M1911.
Arminius HW-1
A revolver that appears to be an Arminius HW-1 is Marcos' (Paul Naschy) backup weapon.
Marcos' handguns: an Astra 400 and Arminius revolver.
Submachine Guns
Rexim Favor "Commando"
One more weapon used by Marcos (Paul Naschy) is a Rexim-Favor. It's a "Commando" version of this weapon, identifiable by its unshrouded barrel.
Rifles
Erma Werke Model E M1 Carbine
A semi-auto carbine is Ricardo's (Heinrich Starhemberg) favored weapon. In the final scene, it is used by Elena (Julia Saly), Ricardo's daughter. The carbine appears to be an Erma Werke Model E M1, a commercial version of the M1 Carbine in .22 LR caliber. The rifle has has the rear sight removed, leaving a bare dovetail scope mount.
M43 Spanish Mauser
In one scene, two Guardia Civil gendarmes visit the estate. They carry M43 Spanish Mauser rifles, identified by straight bolt handles and auxiliary bayonet lugs. Strangely, these rifles have the muzzle parts of the barrel shorter than on a standard model.
