	All the soldiers of the squad (composed of mixed units) use the Italian Royal Army standard issue [[Carcano Rifle Series#Carcano M91 Rifle\|Carcano Mod. 91]] long rifles, with wrong slings. For legal reasons the bolts were removed and replaced with much smaller versions, leading to the actors having difficulty reloading after shooting. In some scenes the bolts are even not present. The bolts were probably found in Greece, taking them from other rifles, and adapted to mount on the Carcano 91 to shoot 8mm blanks (a simple modification often used by reenactors or low budget films). It's strange how no member of the task force has a Breda light machine gun, despite the objective of the mission being garrisoning and defending the island. Surely if it was difficult to import some old bolt-action rifles, it would have been even more difficult import an automatic weapon.
