The following weapons were used in the film Live by Night (2016):

Handguns

Colt 1902

Joe Coughlin (Ben Affleck) carries what appears to be a Colt Model 1902 as his sidearm in the trailer.

Coughlin sets his pistol on a desktop. Note the squared-off muzzle, differentiating it from other automatic pistols of the era such as a 1911 variant.

Colt Official Police

A bank guard fires a 4-inch .38 police revolver, likely a Colt Official Police, in the trailer.

Submachine Guns / Automatic Rifles

Thompson Submachine Gun

The superstar of gangster weapons, the Thompson Submachine Guns, is seen only briefly in the trailer.

A thug fires his Thompson with the archetypical 50-round drum magazine.

Browning Automatic Rifle

Joe Coughlin wields and fires a customized Browning Automatic Rifle in the trailer. This gun resembles the famous sawed off BARs used by Bonnie and Clyde, and also the ones used in (Public Enemies). The major difference is that while the barrel is shortened, the one in the trailer also has a shortened stock, making it a sort of BAR "whippet gun." The gun in the trailer also differs in that it appears to have a later model sight.

Browning Automatic Rifle, standard length barrel - .30-06

This is an actual Clyde Barrow cut down Browning Automatic Rifle. The one in the trailer is similar, but also has a shortened stock.

Coughlin takes cover with his customized BAR. While the shortened stock and barrel would certainly make the gun more concealable and lightweight ("leightweight" being a relative term for a 16-pound firearm), controlled fire would probably be a difficulty. Also note the updated sight.
