'''The following weapons appear in the movie King Kong:'''

== M1928 Thompson ==

The [[M1 Thompson | M1928 Thompson]] appears numerous times throughout the film used by various members of the crew of the S.S. ''Venture'' during the mission to rescue Ann Darrow ([[Naomi Watts]]). The Thompsons seen in the film have the classic 'gangster' configuration; vertical foregrips, Cutts compensators, charging handle on the top, and high-capacity 50rd. drum magazines.
It would be a task to correctly identify if the Thompsons used in the film are models of 1921AC (compensated), 1928 "overstamp" from 1921 Colt, or 1928A1's with vertical grip added for the film to give them the earlier look. However, it is logical to assume that these are actually WW-II 1928a1's with make-overs in order to give the appearance of the earlier pre-war Colt guns.

== Mauser Gewehr 1898 ==

Another weapon used by the crew of the ''Venture'' is the German-made Mauser [[Gewehr 1898]] bolt-action rifle. Though firing a more powerful round (7.92X57-Mauser), they tend to be less effective in the film overall than the rapid-fire Thompsons (possibly due to the Gew 98's straight bolt handle (which slows down reload time) and five-round magazine.

== M1911A1 ==

The second mate of the ''Venture'', Ben Hayes ([[Evan Parke]]) carries an [[1911#M1911A1|M1911A1]] pistol during the mission to rescue Ann. He's most notably seen chambering it just before being killed by Kong.

== Artillery Luger P08 ==

The skipper of the S.S. ''Venture'', Captain Englehorn ([[Thomas Kretschmann]]) is seen using a long-barelled Artillery model [[Luger P08]] pistol, shooting a Skull Island native with it just as the native is about to kill Carl Denham ([[Jack Black]]).

== M1903 Springfield ==

During and just after the climax of the film, several U.S. Army soldiers gathered around the Empire State Building can be seen holding [[M1903 Springfield]] bolt-action rifles.

== Browning Automatic Rifle ==

In the extended edition of the film, a soldier armed with a [[Browning Automatic Rifle]] in the back of a military truck is telling his fellow comrades what they will do to Kong before the giant ape runs into the vehicle, and smashes it into a wall.

== Lewis Gun ==

During the climax of the movie, the biplanes that attack Kong on the Empire State Building are fitted with [[Lewis gun#Aircraft-Mounted|Lewis gun]]s for the observer/tail gunner. The version used on the biplanes are air-cooled and lack the thick, water-filled sleeve around the barrel.

== Harpoon Gun ==

When Kong is attacking the crew of the ''Venture'' during their attempt to capture him, Captain Englehorn shoots Kong in the leg with a harpoon gun of unknown make and model.

[[Image:KK_Harpoon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Captain Englehorn about to shoot Kong with a Harpoon gun of unknown make or model.]]

== Browning M1919 ==

In the scene where Kong is pursued from Central Park to the Empire State Building, U.S. Army soldiers are seen firing on the giant ape with a [[Browning M1919]] machine gun mounted in the back of a car.

== Unknown Cannon ==

While Kong is being pursued through New York City, U.S Army soldiers fire at him with cannons of unknown make or model mounted on several military trucks.

==Maschinengewehr 42 (MG-42==
[[Image:MG42.jpg‎|thumb|325px|none|MG-42 As used in Band of Brothers]]
 
Adopted by Germany in 1942, in an effort to reduce the machining time and cost inherent in the production of the MG-34, the MG-42 is perhaps the deadliest machinegun used during the war. With a fire rate of 1200 rounds per minute, individual shots are mostly non-discernable. The demoralizing and pschycological effect of its very sound prompted the U.S. to make a training film for troops who would encounter it.
Unlike the MG-34, the MG-42 has a receiver made from a series of stampings, instead of the finely machined components encountered in the MG-34.
The gun is fed from a 50-round belt just as with the MG-34. These belts can be linked together for upwards of 250 continuous rounds from one can, with any number of cans in tow given the situation or position.
The gun is chambered in the 7.92X57 Mauser cartridge, the same cartridge used in the well known K98k infantry rifles, and ammunition is interchangeable, although machinegun ammunition was often slightly more powerful in order to avoid jams and run the guns mechanism more reliably.
It can be used with a fold-up bipod, or with the more complicated Lafette tripod, which could have scope-optics and remote control firing capabilities.
Its downfalls were its high rate of fire, which exhausted ammunition supplies very quickly, and this was very apparent on the Russian front, where the weather often delayed much needed supplies.
It's most effective use (as with most machineguns) was not in sweeping fire but in concentrated direct fire using the shortest burst possible, and directing these bursts over the intended area.
The MG-42 was often seen mounted on an anti-aircraft tripod for use against low altitude aircraft, and as co-axial guns on a number of different types of armoured vehicles. 
In the mini-series, the MG-42 is seen multiple times, being fired from window openings in towns, and in stand-offs with the German armoured vehicles in the advance into France. Most notably, the mini-series did not fail to demonstrate or imply the demoralizing effect of the gun on U.S. troops, and this is a notable achievement for the film-makers, who added this realistic view, which before, had never been seen in such vivid detail in any previous war-film, barring of course, documentaries with actual war-time footage.

The demoralizing and pschycological effect of its very sound prompted the U.S. to make a training film for troops who would encounter it.
Unlike the MG-34, the MG-42 has a receiver made from a series of stampings, instead of the finely machined components encountered in the MG-34.
The gun is fed from a 50-round belt just as with the MG-34. These belts can be linked together for upwards of 250 continuous rounds from one can, with any number of cans in tow given the situation or position.
The gun is chambered in the 7.92X57 Mauser cartridge, the same cartridge used in the well known K98k infantry rifles, and ammunition is interchangeable, although machinegun ammunition was often slightly more powerful in order to avoid jams and run the guns mechanism more reliably.
It can be used with a fold-up bipod, or with the more complicated Lafette tripod, which could have scope-optics and remote control firing capabilities.
Its downfalls were its high rate of fire, which exhausted ammunition supplies very quickly, and this was very apparent on the Russian front, where the weather often delayed much needed supplies.
It's most effective use (as with most machineguns) was not in sweeping fire but in concentrated direct fire using the shortest burst possible, and directing these bursts over the intended area.
The MG-42 was often seen mounted on an anti-aircraft tripod for use against low altitude aircraft, and as co-axial guns on a number of different types of armoured vehicles.
In the mini-series, the MG-42 is seen multiple times, being fired from window openings in towns, and in stand-offs with the German armoured vehicles in the advance into France. Most notably, the mini-series did not fail to demonstrate or imply the demoralizing effect of the gun on U.S. troops, and this is a notable achievement for the film-makers, who added this realistic view, which before, had never been seen in such vivid detail in any previous war-film, barring of course, documentaries.

Adopted by Germany in 1942, in an effort to reduce the machining time and cost inherent in the production of the MG-34, the MG-42 is perhaps the deadliest machinegun used during the war. With a fire rate of 1200 rounds per minute, individual shots are mostly non-discernable. The demoralizing and pschycological effect of its very sound prompted the U.S. to make a training film for troops who would encounter it.

Two examples were made for the production of this movie by Searcy in the U.S. They are chambered in .600 Nitro Express. Steven Spielberg is said to own one of them himself.
The location of the other is unknown, but no dought in the hands of a collector or hunter.
These two examples are "real" and meant to be used, and, as with most high-grade double rifles, their value is in the area of many thousands (over $55,000, given their provenance) of dollars each.
