Dunkirk is a 2017 American-British-French-German World War II film directed by Christopher Nolan that tells the story of the evacuation of surrounded British, Belgian and French troops from Dunkirk in 1940 (Operation Dynamo). The film's cast includes Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Fionn Whitehead, Jack Lowden, Cillian Murphy and One Direction member Harry Styles. The story had previously been told in a similarly-named 1958 film Dunkirk. Note: The screenshots seen here will be of varying sizes due to the change in aspect ratio throughout the film.
The following weapons were used in the film Dunkirk (2017):

Revolvers
Webley .38 Mk IV
Colonel Winnant (James D'Arcy) carries a Webley .38 Mk IV revolver in his 1937 canvas holster.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
British soldiers including Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) and Alex (Harry Styles) are seen carrying Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII* rifles. Some of them are mockups with straight bolt handles and smaller barrels.
MAS-36
French soldiers use MAS-36 rifles.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is briefly seen carried by a German soldier during the capture at the ending.
Submachine Guns
MP40
The MP40 is briefly seen carried by a German soldier during the capture at the ending.
Machine Guns
Chatellerault M1924/29
A French soldier in a rearguard position mans a Chatellerault M1924/29.
Hotchkiss M1914
French soldiers in a rearguard position man a Hotchkiss M1914.
Vickers K
Vickers K machine guns are fitted to British Motor Torpedo Boats.

The actual boat used during production is MTB 102 which was actually present during the real Dunkirk evacuation (acting as the flagship for Rear Admiral Wake-Walker), and is in fact the sole surviving Royal Navy vessel that participated in the operation.
Bren Mk1
A Bren Mk1 is fired from an anti-aircraft mount on a Royal Navy destroyer. At least one British soldier carries a Bren gun.
Other
Bofors 40mm
Several Bofors 40mm AA-guns are seen used by British soldiers at Dunkirk.
