'''''Hacksaw Ridge''''' is a 2016 World War II film directed by [[Mel Gibson]] and tells the true story of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desmond_Doss Desmond T. Doss] ([[Andrew Garfield]]), a US Army medic in the 77th Infantry Division who faced persecution and ridicule for his refusal to carry a weapon into battle due to his religious beliefs and ended up receiving the Medal of Honor for saving the lives of 75 of his fellow soldiers during the battle for the Maeda Escarpment (the eponymous Hacksaw Ridge) in Okinawa. Shot in Australia with a mostly-local cast, the film was released to critical acclaim and nominated for numerous awards, including six Oscars (notably Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield). | |||

US troops | US troops, including by Smitty Ryker ([[Luke Bracey]]), are seen using the [[Browning Automatic Rifle]] to great effect. The weapons in the film have the bipod removed.

The weapon notably fires more rounds than the magazine can hold many times during the film, which is shared with many of the weapons in the movie, though the BAR is the most obvious in this regard. | ||

Hacksaw Ridge is a 2016 World War II film directed by Mel Gibson and tells the true story of Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), a US Army medic in the 77th Infantry Division who faced persecution and ridicule for his refusal to carry a weapon into battle due to his religious beliefs and ended up receiving the Medal of Honor for saving the lives of 75 of his fellow soldiers during the battle for the Maeda Escarpment (the eponymous Hacksaw Ridge) in Okinawa. Shot in Australia with a mostly-local cast, the film was released to critical acclaim and nominated for numerous awards, including six Oscars (notably Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield).
The following weapons were used in the film Hacksaw Ridge:
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
US troops are seen with Colt M1911A1 pistols, most notably Lieutenant Manville (Ryan Corr) and Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey). Lieutenant Manville carries his pistol in a tanker-style shoulder holster.
Smith & Wesson M1917
A Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver is seen in a flashback scene, held by both a drunken Tom Doss (Hugo Weaving) and his son Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield).
Submachine Guns
M1 Thompson
Several US soldiers use the M1 Thompson, distinguished from the M1A1 by its simplified L-sight.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is also used by US troops, most notably Lucky Ford (Milo Gibson, Director Mel Gibson's son).
M3 Grease Gun
The M3 Grease Gun is used by Sergeant Howell (Vince Vaughn).
Rifles
M1 Garand
M1 Garand rifles are the most common weapons in the hands of US troops. Sergeant Howell (Vince Vaughn) also uses an M1 Garand to kill a Japanese sniper, later Desmond Doss (Andrew Garfield) borrows the rifle to create an improvised drag stretcher. The weapon plays a plot point during the middle act, when Doss refuses to qualify on it during basic training.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is used by officers of the US Army including Captain Jack Glover (Sam Worthington) and Lieutenant Manville (Ryan Corr). Medic Irv Schecter (Ori Pfeffer) also carries the Carbine. Manville's Carbine is an anachronistic post-WW2 model, distinguished by its adjustable rear sight and bayonet lug.
M1A1 Carbine
In a continuity error, Captain Glover's radioman can be seen firing an M1A1 Carbine, the paratrooper model with folding stock, at the Japanese bunkers. In all other scenes it's a regular M1 Carbine.
Arisaka Type 38
Arisaka Type 38 rifles are the most common weapons in the hands of the Japanese Imperial Army, almost always fitted with bayonets.
Arisaka Type 97 Sniper Rifle
A Japanese sniper with an Arisaka Type 97 sniper rifle attempts to kill Doss before being killed by Sergeant Howell.
Machine Guns
Browning Automatic Rifle
US troops, including by Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey), are seen using the Browning Automatic Rifle to great effect. The weapons in the film have the bipod removed. In one notable scene, Smitty fires it one-handed whilst using a disemboweled corpse as a human shield - quite a feat given the weight and recoil of the weapon. The weapon notably fires more rounds than the magazine can hold many times during the film, which is shared with many of the weapons in the movie, though the BAR is the most obvious in this regard.
Browning M1919A4
Browning M1919A4 machine guns are used by US troops, mounted on M2 tripods. In one scene, Randall "Teach" Fuller (Richard Pyros) fires the M1919A4 by the hip - holding it by the barrel, a good way to get burned.
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HB heavy machine guns are mounted on M4 Sherman tanks and M5 Halftracks. These weapons are also used by the 96th Infantry Division.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
Japanese troops use a Type 92 heavy machine gun mounted in a bunker in defence of Hacksaw Ridge.
Type 96 Light Machine Gun
Japanese infantry are also seen with the Type 96 light machine gun, most notably used to great effect during the Japanese counterattack.
Grenades
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
A few US soldiers are seen using Mk 2 Hand Grenades. This includes Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey), who uses one against a Japanese position, in true action-hero style (pulling the pin with his teeth).
Type 97 Hand Grenade
Japanese soldiers use Type 97 Hand Grenades. They are notably seen in the final battle when Japanese soldiers fake their surrender then throw them at US troops. Doss deflects the grenades, taking the brunt of the blast in the process. Sergeant Howell is also previously seen throwing a grenade away from his position during the initial attack on Hacksaw Ridge.
Launchers
M1A1 Bazooka
An M1A1 Bazooka is used by a US soldier to destroy a Japanese bunker.
M1 Mortar
Japanese soldiers use the M1 Mortar, painted a dirty yellow, during the battle of Hacksaw Ridge.
M2 Mortar
US Army soldiers use the M2 Mortar during the initial attack on Hacksaw Ridge. During the Japanese counterattack, several retreating US soldiers including Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey) are seen using 60mm shells as improvised hand grenades against Japanese soldiers. They armed the shells by banging them against their helmets and threw them, killing several enemy soldiers, like Saving Private Ryan (they only used the mortar base plate to prime the shells). A US Army Sergeant received the Medal of Honor during the Battle of Okinawa for holding off a Japanese attack with, amongst other things, 60mm mortar shells.
Others
M2 Flamethrower
US soldiers, most notably Wal Kirzinski (Nico Cortez), use the M2 Flamethrower. Propane hoses are clearly seen rigged up to the torch in all the shots where the flamethrower fires. Kirzinski uses it against attacking Japanese troops on the battlefield, as if it were a standard small-arms weapon instead of a device used to clear caves and bunkers. Kirzinski also never runs out of fuel for his M2, which would be totally dry after 10 seconds of shooting. The film also plays into the 'exploding fuel tank' myth, largely thanks to Saving Private Ryan and countless videogames, whereupon the fuel tank gets shot and erupts in a massive fireball.
M37 Satchel Charge
Andy "Ghoul" Walker (Goran D. Kleut) and Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey) use the M37 Satchel Charge in an attack on a Japanese bunker. During the final battle, a combination of satchel charges and flamethrowers are used to clear the Japanese caves.
