A Beautiful Mind (2001).

Colt M1911A1

Parcher (Ed Harris) is prominantly seen using an Colt M1911A1 handgun several time through out the film. Proper gun rules can be disregarded as Parcher and his .45 are a simple figment of John Nash's (Russell Crowe) imagination.

Springfield Armory M1911A1 - .45 ACP.

Parcher's M1911A1 firing in slow motion. Note how instead of empty brass, a live round ejects from the gun. Probably edited to look more glimmery in mid-flight.

Parcher fires his M1911A1 out the back window.

Parcher fires his M1911A1 past John out the passenger's side window.

Parcher threatens to shoot Alicia Nash (Jennifer Connelly), John's wife, with his M1911A1. Of course, she is unbeknownst to this, as Parcher is only in John's head.

Parcher points his M1911A1 at John as he finally realizes he is halucinating.

Flash-paper M1911A1

When Parcher fires his 1911 very close to John, it changes to a harmless Flash-paper gun which companies like ISSprops.com sell.

M1 Garand

When John refuses to take his medication, he runs outside and is surrounded by U.S. Army soldiers armed with M1 Garands with flashlights tape on the ends, being once again convinced by Parcher that he is not hallucinating.
