The weapon being used in the screen caps is not, I believe, a American bazooka but rather a German panzerschreck. The sheild is the most apparent give away.

Unidentified Firearms
Screenshots added. Have at 'em. Note that most of the scenes featuring guns weren't actually shot in Italy or Sicily. So the "Italian" soldiers and cops are probably using American guns. - Kooshmeister
Various Guns
United States Marines (or what are supposed to be Marines, in-story) bail out of Calder's helicopter when it lands to capture the Ymir. They carry a multitude of weapons. The shot of them actually exiting the helicopter appears to be wartime stock footage.
Nice work Kooshmeister
But try to stem back the sarcastic commentary. We've gone on a crusade to excise IMFDB of all of that. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 19:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

Not a bazooka
The weapon being used in the screen caps is not, I believe, a American bazooka but rather a German panzerschreck. The sheild is the most apparent give away. But in the third screen cap, a view from behind the gunner and the weapon, notice how the shoulder rest also looks like the type on the panzerschreck, and there is no bell shaped flange on the muzzle like the picture of the M9 bazooka has (but the panzerschreck does not).

other long guns
While many of the Italian troops are carrying M1 Garands, some of the background Italian soldiers in the battle in the Roman ruins are carrying what appear to be Carcano 91/41 long rifles. --Carl N. Brown 23:40, 23 June 2012 (CDT)
