Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Sidearms
Colt Mk IV Series 70
Major General Edward Almond (Robert John Burke) carries a Colt Mk IV Series 70 pistol as his personal sidearm. This is an anachronistic stand-in for an authentic M1911A1.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Herb Redneck (John Hawkes) pulls a Smith & Wesson Model 10 during an argument with the four men in his shop.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is used by the elderly Hector Negron to shoot a customer in a New York post office. It is seen throughout the film used by German soldiers and Italian partisans.
Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson is used by Staff Sergeant Audrey Stamps (Derek Luke), Sergeant Bishop Cummings (Michael Ealy) and Corporal Hector Negron (Laz Alonso), fitted with 30-round stick magazines.
M1A1 Thompson
At least one 92nd Division soldier uses an M1A1 Thompson.
Sten Mk II
Local Partisan leader Peppi "The Great Butterfly" Grotta (Pierfrancesco Favino) carries a Sten Mk II.
Beretta Model 38A
The Beretta Model 38A is used by Rodolfo (Sergio Albelli) and several other partisans.
MP40
German soldiers and Italian partisans can be seen with the MP40.
Shotguns
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
One of the rednecks at Herbs Ice Cream Parlor can be seen with a Coach Gun. An double-barreled shotgun with sawed-off barrels is used by a Partisan in battle.
Winchester Model 1912 Riot Gun
One of the Redneck's at Herbs Ice Cream Parlor is armed with a Winchester Model 1912 Riot Gun.
Rifles
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the main weapon of the 92nd Infantry Division in the movie, although Private First Class Samuel Train (Omar Benson Miller) is the only of the four main characters to use it.
M1 Carbine
The two Military Policemen in Herbs Ice Cream Parlor carry the M1 Carbine. Note that they are the anachronistic post-war models, fitted with a bayonet lug and 30-round magazines.
Karabiner 98k
German soldiers including Fritz Bennecke (Oliver Korittke) use Karabiner 98k in the film.
Mauser Standard Modell
Most German soldiers use Mauser Standard Modell rifles with straight bolt handles
Machine Guns
Browning Mk II
A Browning Mk II is used by the 92nd Division in the opening battle. The choice of weapon is unusual; the Mk II was made exclusively for use by the Royal Air Force, and was chambered in .303 British, not a readily available caliber for the US Army. The Browning M1919A4 would be more accurate.
Browning M2HB
A Browning M2HB can be briefly glimpsed mounted on a US Army tank at an artillery firebase.
Vickers Mk1
The Vickers Mk1 is mounted on a US Army jeep, manned by Private First Class Samuel Train. Once again, the Browning M1919A4 would be more accurate.
MG42
The MG42 is used by German soldiers in combat and at the Sant'Anna di Stazzema massacre.
Launchers
M2 Mortar
The M2 Mortar is used by 92nd Division troops during the river battle.
Granatwerfer 34
