The Army, Muska, and the other secret service agents carry Webley Mk VI revolvers as their standard service sidearm.
Hybrid Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)
All of the soldiers seen in the film carry hybrid SMLE bolt-action rifles, due to the slightly longer barrel of the No. 4 rifle and Gewehr 98 Lange-Visier sights. The rifles are depicted with five round magazines instead of the better known ten round magazines, which is plausible since 5-round magazines did exist for the Lee-Enfield rifles, mainly used on the Lee-Speed sporting rifles.
