WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
FN Model 1910
Throughout the film Tatsu (Tamio Kawaji) uses a pistol resembling a suppressed replica FN Model 1910 with a nonstandard rear sight, no extractor and misplaced ejection port. Kenji (Hideaki Nitani), Tanaka (Eiji Go), Otsuka (Eimei Esumi) and Umetani (Isao Tamagawa) also use replica Model 1910s.

Another view of Tanaka's pistol shows a faint line where the extractor should be, just to the left of the ejection port. It might be a functional extractor, however since all of the firearms in the film are replicas, it could be paint applied to the slide to simulate an extractor.
Otsuka points his pistol.
Otsuka holds his pistol to the head of bartender/piano player Binko (unknown actor). Otsuka's pistol does not have an extractor.
Umetani waits while holding his pistol at the ready. The logo on the grip is seen.

Beretta Model 70
Kurata (Ryuji Kita) uses a Beretta Model 70 replica. Otsuka, Tetsu (Tetsuya Watari) and Kumamoto (Hiroshi Chô) are also seen with it. Although the pistol is Kurata's in each scene, several different replicas may have been used for filming.
