The book was later adapted again with Anthony Hopkins as Lecter in 2002's Red Dragon.

Remington 870
A Remington 870 is used by serial killer Francis Dollarhyde (Tom Noonan) with a sawed-off buttstock to shoot up his house at the end of the film. He kills 2 cops, wounds Jack Crawford (Dennis Farina) and attempts to kill Graham (William Petersen) before he pumps 6 rounds into him with his Bulldog (though before Dollarhyde was also wounded by another cop's bullet).

Unknown suppressed pistol
Used by Francis Dollarhyde (Tom Noonan) to shot 3 times and kill Ralph Dandridge (Ralph Mandy in original novel), played by Bill Cwikowski). The pistol is covered by something in most of the shots, so it's very difficult to say even what was used in this scene - pistol, or an unknown special effects device. Though, pistol anyway supressed (that's easy to know cause of it's sounds and facts listed about Dollarhide in the movie and in the novel)
