The overzealous 1st Lieutenant Wickman (Thomas Ungewitter) is seen carrying a holstered sidearm, though he never reveals or uses it. In the Swedish Armed Forces at the time the movie was filmed (1979), there were two official semi-automatic pistols in service: The older M/07 ([[FN Browning 1903]]) and the M/40 model ([[Lahti L-35]]). Wickman carries his sidearm in a holster on his left hip which most likely means it is a M/40 as the older M/07 pistol were usually carried on the right hip for practical reasons. | |||
