Corrected entry: Bogart identifies the gun that killed Archer as a Webly-Fosbery .45 8 shot automatic. It is a 6 shot revolver.
Correction: The Webley-Fosbery was an unusual design, an automatic revolver, produced 1901-1915. Less than 5000 were made. However, there is an error, since it was chambered for eight shot .38 or six shot .455; there was no eight shot .45.
Correction: So Carl (played by River Phoenix) doesn't know his guns and calls all guns of that shape an Uzi. So do I - it's common thanks to movies and TV. It's like many people call all digital music players iPods. In the movie there is no reason to believe Carl is any more knowledgeable about submachine guns than a regular person, so it isn't really a movie mistake, just an understandable statement by a character who is not knowledgeable.
