== Colt Model 1903 Pistol ==
In the scene of the attack the sergeant (Syd Chaplin) is seen with a hammerless pistol that appears to be a [[Colt Model 1903]]. A similar looking pistol is seen in hands of Charlie when he, disguised as a German high rank officer, disarms a driver of Kaiser's car.

== Krag-Jørgensen M1896 Rifle ==
American soldiers, including Charlie the Doughboy, carry [[Krag-Jørgensen|Krag-Jørgensen M1896]] rifles. While in reality US troops in France in 1918 were armed with [[M1903 Springfield]] rifles, the movie makers had to use those guns that were available. Some German soldiers also are seen with Krag-Jørgensen rifles.

== Beaumont-Vitali M1871/88 Rifle ==
German soldiers carry rifles with straight bolt handles and large protruding magazines that appear to be Dutch Beaumont-Vitali M1871/88 rifles. How they could appear in American 1918 movie is unexplainably.

== Lewis Machine Gun ==
In one scene German soldiers use a [[Lewis Gun]] on a tripod. Charlie manages to sieze it and aims at Germans. The Lewis appears to be a mockup rather than a real gun.

== Trench Mortar ==
What appears to be a mockup of a trench mortar is seen on US troops position.
