Submachine gun (The Raven — used by Second Nazi; seized by Mongolian; discarded by Marion)

A compact submachine gun present during the Raven bar shootout. It is shouldered by the Second Nazi as Belzig's henchmen storm the bar, later seized by the Mongolian who fires wild bursts into the smoke and flames, and — after its ammunition is expended — is hurled to the floor of the burning bar by Marion and left discarded. The weapon’s changing possession and final empty state mark the transition from active firefight to Marion seizing the medallion.

After: Used until the Second Nazi is shot and killed; the weapon becomes inert in the chaos.

An emptied submachine gun is thrown down by Marion at the start of the beat; it serves as evidence the immediate firepower is spent and underscores the collapse of the cash-forces leverage. It physically marks both defeat and the shift toward personal agency.

Before: In hand/possession (recently used to threaten), functional but emptied of effective threat.
After: Discarded on the floor amid smoke and debris, no longer an active threat.

Flames, the Medallion, and a Reluctant Partnership

Before: In active possession or recently used by one of the attackers; hot from recent firing and within reach at the bar.
After: Discarded on the floor among burning debris, no longer an active threat.
