these last two images, my best guess is that the pistol is a heavily modified colt 1911 or 1911 clone. The barrel on the top picture looks kinda small, could be an airsoft pistol

Major Hunter's Pistol is based on a Glock of some type. In the scene where he is about to draw on the two thugs who are selling seats on the lifeboat, there is a close-up shot of the pistol in its holster with a great view of the distinctive Glock grip.
: I'm no expert but I think that may be a longsword --[[User:AdAstra2009|AdAstra2009]] 03:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
*Yeah, looks to be around the right size. Longsword's a two-handed grip and a blade > 35in, I think.
i dont think its a long sword not a big enough grip
Long swords are one handed swords. It's probably a bastard sword.
:A Bastard sword IS a type of Long sword, so are Broad swords and Two-handed swords (not including Great swords). - [[User:Mr. Wolf|Mr. Wolf]] 19:18, 4 April 2011 (CDT)

I´ve seen the film a couple of times, and i´d swear that those are one-handed longswords. The fact is that actors that don´t have sword training usually wields them as if they were 'bastard' swords. Bastard is a term coined in the XIX century to name what is today called a Hand and a half sword, that is, swords with a long enough pommel to be used one or two handed. That type of sword have a blade between 105-115 cm long, and the swords in the film are clearly shorter, about 85-90, a length usual for a one-handed longsword.
It looks to defiantly be a one-handed sword. By the design it seems like a late middle ages french style one and a half handed broadsword. I didn't see it quite close enough to see if it was a one handed sword that the actors hold like a one and a half.
In keeping with the 'Steam punk' style of the film's technology (of the year 2207 AD) a lot of the soldiers look like a mish mash of World War 1 soldiers with mixed European gear and a very bulky fantasy rifle that looks like it has a 'wheel lock' looking mechanism in the middle.
One of the soldiers in the trench in the beginning has an Short Magazine Lee Enfield (No1Mk.III) with a bayonet just before he is blown up by a mortar round.
Early on Lt. Maximillian von Steiner (Benno Fürmann) aims a highly modified MAC-11 pistol at Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane). Though it is decorated with science fiction add ons, it is clearly a MAC-11 as the base pistol.
Heavily modified Mauser rifles are disguised as future weapons, however, the receivers and bolts are clearly visible. Most notably carried by Cpl. Valerie Duval (Devon Aoki) and Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane)
Major characters appear to hold a heavily customized pistol. It's hard to say if it is based on a real live firing pistol design since the gun fire seems to be all CGI and not blank fire in the film.
these last two images, my best guess is that the pistol is a heavily modified colt 1911 or 1911 clone. The barrel on the top picture looks kinda small, could be an airsoft pistol
