Walther MPL
There appears to be a Walther MPL or similar SMG used by one of the rebels attacking the company. I will upload a screenshot when possible, but the time stamp is at 1:26:59-ish. This would be anachronistic as the MPL was not produced until 1963, while the events in this film took place in 1961. DeadpoolDeadcool (talk) 23:24, 15 October 2016 (EDT)

"A Bren should do it"?
Anyone else find it odd the sniper chooses to use an open sight, open bolt Bren instead of his No4 Mk1(T)? --Maxman (talk) 09:06, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
- I was thinking the same thing. The two guns are in the same caliber (.303 British), and, if anything, the sights on the Bren are considerably worse than the high-range scope on the Enfield. Does anyone know why this would be done? --Caldwellb734 (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
If anything, they should actually have started using the MAG 57s. Perhaps the Bren is a heavy gun and is more accurate than the Enfield, even a scoped Enfield isn't that accurate compared to other bolt action rifles of the era. Excalibur01 (talk) 15:43, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
Also, I am kinda surprised at the surplus of older rifles being used by the Irish despite this being 1961. Excalibur01 (talk) 15:45, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
Quinlan's Sidearm.
I believe Quinlan carries a Hi Power as his sidearm. It is seen unholstered a couple times. --Westernman1987 (talk) 12:05, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
- I can confirm this, don't have screenshots yet but I did see Quinlan carrying a Hi Power.--Caldwellb734 (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
