Magazine fed MG
I'm curious, what makes you say the MG is a Type 99, rather than the Bren which to me looks like a much closer match? Can't see it properly from that angle, but to me it is a much closer match to the Bren (backwards pointing charging handle, same charging handle design, unfluted barrel, matching grooves on the magazine, along with a few more), and I think the Bren is much more likely to actually be available and appear in a film. --commando552 (talk) 17:25, 16 April 2014 (EDT)
American rifles
Ex-Marine Tom Hunter recalled the producers wanted to use rubber M-1s so perhaps they didn't have enough real ones and had to issue .303s to the extras playing GIs. We were shooting the amphibious scenes in Taranto and the first day we were supposed to shoot it Dmytryk called it off because De Laurentiis had decided that we were going to use rubber rifles and here they were practically flopping over. Rubber M1s! http://wconnolly.blogspot.com.au/2009/05/thomas-hunter-on-anzio.html Foofbun (talk) 04:32, 17 April 2014 (EDT)
Tanks
The tanks in the fist, second and fourth pictures are M47's. The third picture does show M24's. All carry the M2 regardless.
