==M3 "Grease Gun"==
The most commonly seen gun in the film is the older [[M3 Grease Gun|M3 "Grease Gun"]]. It is not an M3A1 model because the guns clearly have external charging handles on the right side while the M3A1 as divots in the bolt so the bolt can be pinched and pulled back. They also have a much higher rate of fire than the M3A1 model. Prison Military and Police (M&P) guards are seen using them, as well as practically every member of the ''Dirty Dozen'', most notabley Major Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) during several scenes in basic training. In reality, the Grease Gun was never fielded in such great numbers but was likley the easiest gun for the film armorers to aquire.

==M1 Garand==
While the [[M1 Garand]] was the most heavily fielded weapon of the U.S. Military during WWII, it is seen somewhat scarcely in the film, mainly in the hands of M&Ps and some of the members of the ''Dirty Dozen'' during the war games.
[[Image:M1 Garand.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1 Garand - .30-06.]]
[[Image:DDM1Garand-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An M&P officer on guard with an M1 Garand.]]

[[Image:DDM1Garand-9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Samson Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) with an M1 Garand.]]

==M1 Carbine==
Several of Col. Breed's ([[Robert Ryan]]) men are seen armed with [[M1 Carbine]]s, although they are only in the background.
[[Image:M1-Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1 Carbine - .30 Carbine.]]
[[Image:DDM1Carbine-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of Breed's men in the background with an M1 Carbine.]]
[[Image:DDM1Carbine-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A man behind Breed with an M1 Carbine.]]
When Reisman's men dissarm Breed's men, one of them is seen armed with a paratrooper folding stock [[M1 Carbine|M1A1 Carbine]].
[[Image:M1A1carbine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Carbine - .30 Carbine.]]
[[Image:DDM1A1Carbine-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|One of Reisman's men dissarms one of Breed's men of his M1A1 Carbine.]]

==M1911A1==
Several M&P officers and Major Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) are seen with [[M1911A1]] pistols as their sidearms.
[[Image:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP.]]

[[Image:DDM1911A1-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An M&P officer with an M1911A1.]]

==Browning M1919A4==
Several times the [[Browning M1919|Browning M1919A4]] is used in the film. First it is seen carried in a jeep by the blue team during the war games. Two are used during the assault on the mansion, one used by Roscoe Lever ([[Stuart Cooper]]) and Seth Sawyer ([[Colin Maitland]]) near the front entrance and the other manned by Tassos Bravos ([[Al Mancini]]) to combat the approaching German vehicles.
[[Image:M1919A4Browning.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M1919A4 - .30-06.]]
[[Image:DDM1919A4-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Archer Maggott ([[Telly Savalas]]) rests his hand on a Browning M1919A4 during the war games.]]

[[Image:DDM1919A4-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lever ([[Stuart Cooper]]) grins in satisfaction after taking out a German vehicle with the M1919A4.]]
[[Image:DDM1919A4-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bravos ([[Al Mancini]]) fires the M1919A4 at the German vehicles.]]

==Mk 2 hand grenade==
Several members of the ''Dirty Dozen'' keep [[Mk 2 hand grenade]]s hanging on their belts, most notabley Robert Jefferson ([[Jim Brown]]) and Archer Maggott ([[Telly Savalas]]). While on the roof, Seth Sawyer ([[Colin Maitland]]) gets stuck after having a leg break through the roof on his way to disable the alarm tower. Immobilized, he throws two Mk 2 grenades at the tower to destroy it instead. When preparing to blow up the mansion, Major Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) and his men dump bags of Mk 2 grenades down the vents and then dump gasoline to make the building itself a bomb.
[[Image:MK2 grenade DoD.jpg|thumb|none|150px|Mk 2 hand grenade.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mk 2 grenades are seen on Jefferson's ([[Jim Brown]]) belt. Having his magazine pouches on the small of his back makes reloading take longer and is not tactically sound. All the Dozen do this.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mk 2 grenades are seen on Maggott's ([[Telly Savalas]]) belt.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Maggott ([[Telly Savalas]]) lays on a bed in the mansion and plays with a grenade as we see how pshycopathic he really is.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sawyer ([[Colin Maitland]]) throws two Mk 2 grenades at the alarm tower.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sgt. Clyde Bowren ([[Richard Jaeckel]]) trips and drops his bag full of Mk 2 grenades.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) drops grenades down the vents.]]
[[Image:DDMk2grenade-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Germans in the shelter pathetically try to push the grenades back up.]]

==Beretta 21A Bobcat (suppressed)==
Joseph Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) is seen using a [[Beretta 21 Bobcat|Beretta 21A Bobcat]] fitted with a sound suppressor to kill several guards at the gates of the mansion. While inside the mansion, he manages to kill a radio operator with it before leaving it there. Since the Bobcat pistol has a tip open barrel, this makes small acorn .22 blanks easy to load and unload with non-blank converted guns (which this clearly is since it doesn't cycle). This is likely why this gun was chosen since it was not made at the time of WWII.
[[Image:Beretta21ABobcatSuppressed.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Beretta 21A Bobcat threaded for a suppressor - .22 long rifle.]]
[[Image:DDBerettaBobcatSuppressed-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) kills the Germans at the gate with a suppressed Beretta 21A Bobcat.]]
[[Image:DDBerettaBobcatSuppressed-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) kills a radio operator with the suppressed Beretta Bobcat.]]

==25 Pounder artillery gun's==
During the war games, the Red team fires on the Blue team with British 25 Pounder guns.
[[Image:DDArtillery-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The red team fire the 25 Pounder guns.]]
[[Image:DDArtillery-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The red team fire the 25 Pounder guns.]]
[[Image:DDArtillery-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The red team reloads the 25 Pounder guns.]]

==Webley & Scott Flare Pistol==
Samson Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) fires a [[Webley No 1. Mark 1 flare gun|Webley & Scott Flare Pistol]] into the air to signal to the others that the German's have arrived.
[[Image:Webley&ScottFlare.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Webley & Scott Flare Pistol.]]
[[Image:DDFlarePistol-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) fires the flare pistol into the air.]]

==Karabiner 98k==
German soldiers carry [[Karabiner 98k]] rifles during the final shootout at the mansion. Like many WWII films from 1960-1980, the [[MP40]] submachine gun is inaccurately shown as the main weapon of the German army instead of the Kar98k.
[[Image:Karabiner-98K.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm.]]
[[Image:DDKar98k-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The two Germans that get killed outside the gate are armed with Karabiner 98k.]]
[[Image:DDKar98k-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German on patrol with a Kar98k slung over his back.]]
[[Image:DDKar98k-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier with a Kar98k.]]

==Karabiner 98k Sniper==
At one point in the film, a German sniper is seen using a [[Karabiner 98k]] fitted with a scope (which appears to have infrared vision, which wasn't available on such a small scope at the time) and uses it to kill Milo Vladek ([[Tom Busby]]) with a shot between the eyes.
[[Image:tur3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF42 scope - 7.92x57mm.]]
[[Image:DDM1Sniper-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While the reticle is correct, the infrared capability isn't.]]
[[Image:DDKar98kSniper-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German sniper sneaks out the window armed with a Karabiner 98k sniper rifle.]]
[[Image:DDKar98kSniper-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sniper takes aim with his Kar98k.]]
[[Image:DDKar98kSniper-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A scope this small at the time could not be capable of infrared vision. Also, this is a horrible and clearly fake scope mount.]]
The first German sniper is hilariously seen using an American [[M1 Garand]] with the same fake scope mount, likely because of a lack of 7.92mm blanks or firing Kar98k rifles.
[[Image:DDM1Sniper-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sniper fires the M1 Garand at Jefferson ([[Jim Brown]]).]]
[[Image:DDM1Sniper-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sniper falls out the window and drops his M1 Garand.]]

==MP40==
Germans are inaccurately seen armed mainly with [[MP40]] submachine guns.
[[Image:MP40Side.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9mm.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier armed with an MP40 gets shot by Pinkley ([[Donald Sutherland]]).]]
[[Image:DDMP40-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German shoots Pinkley ([[Donald Sutherland]]) with his MP40.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|When the German is shot, he drops his MP40 and it goes off. The bolt lock was applied for this very reason but it is obvious he didn't have time to lock it before being killed.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German fires his MP40, eyes closed.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German reaches for his MP40 after playing dead.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The German fires his MP40 at the members of the Dozen on the armored vehicle.]]
[[Image:DDMP40-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German with an MP40 prepares to shoot Jefferson ([[Jim Brown]]).]]
[[Image:DDMP40-8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German fires his MP40 at Lever ([[Stuart Cooper]]) and Sawyer ([[Colin Maitland]]) on the boat.]]

==MG42==
Samson Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) mans an [[MG42]] to combat the approaching German vehicles. The gun is fitted with a 50 round drum. The same gun is seen mounted on a German vehicle but not clear enough to see.

[[Image:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm.]]
[[Image:DDMG42-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) loads his MG42.]]
[[Image:DDMG42-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) fires the MG42 at the German vehicles.]]
[[Image:DDMG42-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A nice side shot of the MG42 when Posey ([[Clint Walker]]) takes cover from a German vehicle firing the same weapon.]]

==MG34==
An [[MG34]] is seen fired from a German vehicle before members of the Dozen knock it off the bridge with their own vehicle.
[[Image:Mg-34.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MG34 - 7.92x57mm.]]
[[Image:DDMG34-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A gunner fires an MG34 from an armored vehicle. (is this a mocked up American vehicle?)]]
[[Image:DDMG34-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A better shot of the MG34.]]

==Walther P38==
When Major Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) and Joseph Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) infiltrate the German mansion disguised as German officers, they keep [[Walther P38]]s as their sidearms and use them to shoot the guards outside the shelter entrance before sealing the people inside.
[[Image:P38.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther P38 - 9mm.]]
[[Image:DDWaltherP38-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) and Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) draw and fire their Walther P38s on the guards outside the shelter.]]
[[Image:DDWaltherP38-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close up of Wladislaw's ([[Charles Bronson]]) Walther P38.]]
[[Image:DDWaltherP38-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Walther P38 firing.]]

==Luger P08==
For some reason as Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) and Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) leave the underground shelter, their [[Walther P38]]s change to [[Luger P08]]s.
[[Image:LugerP08Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Luger P08 - 9mm.]]
[[Image:DDLugerP08-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) and Wladislaw ([[Charles Bronson]]) with Luger P08s.]]
[[Image:DDLugerP08-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reisman ([[Lee Marvin]]) peaks around the corner with his Luger P08 at the ready.]]

==Unknown German AA gun, probably 40mm Bofors AA gun==
When the remaining members of the ''Dirty Dozen'' try to escape in an armored vehicle, they look back to see it is towing a German Anti-Aircraft (AA) gun. Victor Franko ([[John Cassavetes]]) then jumps off and removes the hitch. The AA gun appears to be a 40mm Bofors Anti-Aircraft gun.
[[Image:DDAAGun-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The group looks back at the AA gun.]]
