The Flowers of War is a 2011 Chinese historical drama directed by Zhang Yimou and based on the novel "13 Flowers of Nanjing" by Geling Yan. In the midst of the Rape of Nanking during the Second Sino-Japanese War, an American mortician, John Miller (Christian Bale), a group of schoolgirls, and prostitutes from a nearby brothel find sanctuary in a Catholic church. To rescue the women, John tries posing as a priest.
The following weapons were used in the movie The Flowers of War
Handguns
Nambu Type 14
Imperial Japanese officers use Nambu Type 14 pistols.
Mauser C96
Major Li (Dawei Tong) carries a holstered Mauser C96.
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk II (modified to resemble SIG M1920)
Some Chinese Nationalist soldiers can be seen armed with the Sten Mk II submachine gun (probably airsoft replicas) visually modified to resemble SIG M1920 submachine guns. The same props can be seen in Cold Steel.
Rifles
Type Zhongzheng Rifle
The Type Zhongzheng rifle is used by Chinese Nationalist soldiers, including Major Li, in the defense of Nanking.
Arisaka Type 38
The Imperial Japanese soldiers use the Arisaka Type 38 in the battle and subsequent occupation of Nanking.
Machine Guns
Bren Gun
The Bren Gun is used by Chinese Nationalist soldiers in the defense of Nanking. Based on the straight magazine, these appear to be Canadian manufacture Brens, which were chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser and supplied to China during WWII (making their appearance during the Nanking Massacre as depicted here anachronistic).
Type 11 Light Machine Gun
The Type 11 light machine gun is used by Imperial Japanese soldiers.
Type 91 Tank Machine Gun
Type 94 tankettes are armed with the Type 91 Tank Machine Gun (a Type 11 LMG modified to be a tank mounted).
Grenades
Type 67 stick grenade
The Type 67 stick grenade is used by Chinese Nationalist soldiers, including Major Li (Dawei Tong).
Type 97 hand grenade
