==M1 Garand==
{{Spoiler}}
[[M1 Garand]] rifles are the most common weapons in the hands of U.S. Marines. Most notably seen used by Private Pappas ([[Mark Ruffalo]]) and Private Nellie ([[Martin Henderson]]).

Both Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) and Sgt. Pete "Ox" Henderson ([[Christian Slater]]) use [[Colt M1911A1]] pistols as their sidearms. One of the mistakes is that the M1911A1 usually have four magazines as extra ammo, not two like in the film.

===M1928A1 Thompson===
For the rest of the film, Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) uses an [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1928/M1928A1 Thompson|M1928A1 Thompson]] fitted with a 30-round magazine. Sgt. Pete "Ox" Henderson ([[Christian Slater]]) also uses an M1928A1.

==Springfield M1903==
==Shotguns==
Some of the Marines during the opening scene use [[M1903 Springfield|Springfield M1903]] rifles. USMC indeed fought with them in Guadalcanal, while US Army was issued with M1 Garand. It should also be noted that M1903 rifles were commonly used alongside M1 Carbines and Garands due to [[M1 Garand]] shortages and that a number of frontline Marine units were still using M1903s as infantry rifles up until the end of the Second World War due to the shortage of M1 Garands.
===Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"===
[[Image:Springfield1903.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Springfield M1903 Transitional (pre-WW2) issue - .30-06.]]
Gunnery Sergeant Richard "Gunny" Hjelmstad ([[Peter Stormare]]) uses a [[Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"]] as his weapon in the film, although he is never seen firing it. In the "Director's Cut", Hjelmstad uses the shotgun during the surprise Japanese attack on the village.

==M1 Carbine==
==Rifles / Carbines==
===M1 Carbine===
Both Private Ben Yahzee ([[Adam Beach]]) and Private Charlie Whitehorse ([[Roger Willie]]) use [[M1 Carbine]]s throughout the film.

==M1928 Thompson==
===M1 Garand===
Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) uses an [[Thompson#M1928/M1928A1 Thompson|M1928 Thompson]] fitted with a 50 round drum during the opening scene in the swamps of Guadalcanal.
The [[M1 Garand]] is the most common weapon of the US Marines. Most notably seen used by Private Milo Pappas ([[Mark Ruffalo]]) and Private Thomas Nellie ([[Martin Henderson]]).

[[Image:WindtalkersM1Garand-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pappas fires his M1.]]


==M1928A1 Thompson==
===M1903 Springfield===
For the remainder of the film, Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) uses an [[Thompson#M1928/M1928A1 Thompson|M1928A1 Thompson]] fitted with a 30 round magazine (although the capacity is continually ignored, being a John Woo film). Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson ([[Christian Slater]]) also uses an M1928A1. Since this is a Woo film, whenever Enders or Ox comes running in, all it takes is a good hip fired burst from their Thompsons and all the Japs are dead.
Some of the Marines use [[M1903 Springfield]] rifles during the opening battle in Solomon Islands. USMC indeed fought with them in Guadalcanal, while the US Army was issued with [[M1 Garand]]s. It should also be noted that M1903 rifles were commonly used alongside M1 Carbines and Garands due to M1 Garand shortages and that a number of front line Marine and U.S. Army units were still using M1903s as infantry rifles (in Asia and Europe) up until the end of the World War II due to the shortage of M1 Garands.

==Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2==
==Machine Guns==
Private Chick ([[Noah Emmerich]]) uses a [[Browning Automatic Rifle|Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2]] as his role of the support gunner in the film, although his BAR is firing on the faster auto fire rate and has the bipod removed, suggesting it is used more in the assault rifle role.

[[Browning M1919|Browning M1919A4]] machine guns are seen both pintle mounted on US jeeps and mounted on M2 tripods in the hands of the infantry.
[[Browning M1919A4]] machine guns are seen mounted on M2 tripods, pintle-mounted on US jeeps, in a coaxial mount on M4 Sherman tanks as well as in the hands of the US infantry.

==Others==
Gunnery Sergeant Hjelmstad ([[Peter Stormare]]) uses a [[Winchester Model 1897|Winchester 1897]] "Trench" gun as his weapon in the film, although he is never seen firing it.
===M1A1 Bazooka===
 
An [[M1 Rocket Launcher "Bazooka"#M1A1 "Bazooka" (2.36" Rocket)|M1A1 Bazooka]] is used by Marines during the battle of Saipan. When two Marines are attempting to take out a bunker with the launcher, the loader is wounded and the gunner is killed, so Sgt. Pete "Ox" Henderson ([[Christian Slater]]) runs out and does a stylish "judo-roll", grabbing the launcher in the process. The wounded loader gets back up and readies the weapon, and Ox takes out the bunker single-handedly. Some other Marines are also seen carrying this weapon.

==M1911A1==
Both Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) and Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson ([[Christian Slater]]) use [[M1911A1]] pistols as their sidearms. One of the mistake is that the M1911A1 usually have 4 magazine as extra ammo, not two, like in the movie.

==M1 Bazooka==
An [[M1 Rocket Launcher "Bazooka"#M1 "Bazooka" (2.36" Rocket)|M1 Bazooka]] is used by Marines during the battle of Saipan. When two Marines are attempting to take out a bunker with the device, the loader is wounded and the gunner is killed, so Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson ([[Christian Slater]]) runs out and does a stylish "judo-roll", grabbing the launcher in the process. The wounded loader gets back up and readies the weapon, and Ox takes out the bunker single handedly. Some other Marines are also seen carrying them.

===M2-2 Flamethrower===
Private Harrigan ([[Brian Van Holt]]) uses an [[M2 Flamethrower|M2-2 Flamethrower]] as his weapon in the film. True to Hollywood Pvt. Harrigan's M2-2 Flamethrower explodes due to a single shot from an FMJ, engulfing the Private and forcing Sgt. Joe Enders ([[Nicolas Cage]]) puts him out of his misery with his .45. In reality the fuel inside of a flamethrower is often difficult to ignite, which is why built-in magnesium igniters are used. The gas used to pressurize the tanks is also non flammable. In real life a hit from and FMJ or lead round would most likely knock him off of his feet due the massive pressure released from the small entrance hole. Although it should be noted that had incendiary ammunition been used there is a chance of an ignition of the tank/operator.

Ben Yahzee ([[Adam Beach]]) disguises himself as a Japanese soldier to aquire a radio after his is destroyed. He also takes a Arisaka Type 38 along with the disguise. The rifles with the top wood cover are arisaka type 99 rifles while the ones without are either type 38 rifles or "Last Ditch" type 99 rifles[[Image:Arisakat38.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Arisaka Type 38 - 6.5x50mm.]]
The [[Arisaka Rifle|Arisaka Type 99]] is the most common weapon of the Imperial Japanese Army. The early models contained a folding wire monopod, flip up sights with "anti-aircraft" bars, chrome-plated bores, and a dust cover. As the war went on, the quality had dropped, these late war rifles were known as "last ditch" rifles and were very crudely manufactured with most missing the accessories of the earlier models.

US Army Weapons

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

Both Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) and Sgt. Pete "Ox" Henderson (Christian Slater) use Colt M1911A1 pistols as their sidearms. One of the mistakes is that the M1911A1 usually have four magazines as extra ammo, not two like in the film.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"

Gunnery Sergeant Richard "Gunny" Hjelmstad (Peter Stormare) uses a Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" as his weapon in the film, although he is never seen firing it. In the "Director's Cut", Hjelmstad uses the shotgun during the surprise Japanese attack on the village.

M1903 Springfield

Some of the Marines use M1903 Springfield rifles during the opening battle in Solomon Islands. USMC indeed fought with them in Guadalcanal, while the US Army was issued with M1 Garands. It should also be noted that M1903 rifles were commonly used alongside M1 Carbines and Garands due to M1 Garand shortages and that a number of front line Marine and U.S. Army units were still using M1903s as infantry rifles (in Asia and Europe) up until the end of the World War II due to the shortage of M1 Garands.

Machine Guns

M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle

Private Charles "Chick" Clusters (Noah Emmerich) uses an M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle as his role of the support gunner in the film, although his BAR is firing on the faster auto fire rate and has the bipod removed, suggesting it is used more in the assault rifle role.

Others

M1A1 Bazooka

An M1A1 Bazooka is used by Marines during the battle of Saipan. When two Marines are attempting to take out a bunker with the launcher, the loader is wounded and the gunner is killed, so Sgt. Pete "Ox" Henderson (Christian Slater) runs out and does a stylish "judo-roll", grabbing the launcher in the process. The wounded loader gets back up and readies the weapon, and Ox takes out the bunker single-handedly. Some other Marines are also seen carrying this weapon.

M2-2 Flamethrower

Private Andrew Harrigan (Brian Van Holt) uses an M2-2 Flamethrower as his weapon in the film. True to Hollywood Pvt. Harrigan's M2-2 Flamethrower explodes due to a single shot from an FMJ, engulfing the Private in fire and forcing Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) helps him out of his misery with his pistol. In reality, the fuel inside a flamethrower is often difficult to ignite, which is why built-in magnesium igniters are used. The gas used to pressurize the tanks is also non-flammable. In real life, a hit from an FMJ or lead round would most likely knock the operator off of his feet due to the massive pressure released from the small entrance hole. Although it should be noted that had incendiary ammunition been used there is a chance of an ignition of the tank/operator.

Imperial Japanese Army Weapons

Handguns

Rifles

Arisaka Sniper Rifle

While not closely seen, a Japanese sniper takes out a few Marines with an Arisaka rifle, assumed to be a scoped model to fit the sniper role. But due to John Woo logic, he is no match for Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicolas Cage) and a quick hip fire burst from his Thompson.

Arisaka Type 99

The Arisaka Type 99 is the most common weapon of the Imperial Japanese Army. The early models contained a folding wire monopod, flip up sights with "anti-aircraft" bars, chrome-plated bores, and a dust cover. As the war went on, the quality had dropped, these late war rifles were known as "last ditch" rifles and were very crudely manufactured with most missing the accessories of the earlier models.

At one point in the film, Pvt. Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach) disguises himself as a Japanese soldier to acquire a radio after his destroyed, he also takes a substitute standard ("last ditch") Arisaka Type 99 along with the disguise.
