The following weapons were used in the film Casino:

Handguns

M1911A1

During the robbery in casino and in following scenes Jack Perry (Armen Dzhigarkhanyan), Washington Smith (Inon Lombert) and Mish Collins (Anatoly Mambetov) use M1911A1 pistols. 1911s are also carried by police officers and detectives, including Chief Terrell (Leonid Kulagin).

World War II Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP. This was an issued U.S. Army pistol with parkerized finish, thus the official designation of M1911A1

Jack Perry holds a suppressed M1911A1 during the robbery.

Perry disassembles the suppressor. It appears to be screwed inside the barrel.

Perry's pistol is seen close when he threatens a girl on the beach. This pistol may lack the grip safety that allows to guess that this is a Star Model B but it's not for sure.

Chief Terrell holds his pistol.

Luger P08

Jess Chandler (Valeriy Smetskoy) uses a Luger P08 during the robbery and in following scenes.

Mauser HSc

During the robbery the plainclothed female police officer Jane Lepski (Olga Koposova) uses a compact pistol that appears to be a Mauser HSc. It's worth noting that this character is a substitution for Det. Tom Lepski, a recurring character in many J.H. Chase novels.

Rifles

Sturmgewehr 44 (modified to resemble M16)
