M1928 Thompson

After his service revolver fails to slay the giant ant, Peterson runs and gets this from his patrol car. Needless to say it packs a bit more of a punch. Agent Graham and several soldiers use them in later scenes as well.

M1928A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine and early 'simplified' rear sight that would be adopted for the M1 Thompson - .45 ACP
Peterson locks and loads.
Peterson gets medieval on the ant's abdomen.
Graham firing an M1928 Thompson with his eyes shut at the film's climax.

Blackburn's revolver

Doomed redshirt Trooper Ed Blackburn (Chris Drake) uses this revolver.

Blackburn unholsters his weapon and turns the light out so the unknown assailant (unknown to him, a giant ant) won't see him emerging from the room.
Blackburn prepares to meet his maker courtesy of giant mandibles.

Colt Official Police

Trooper Sgt. Ben Peterson (James Whitmore) uses this holstered Colt Official Police to shoot at a giant ant.

Peterson shoots at the ant.
Peterson comes to the conclusion his service revolver isn't doing much good.
