(Because the world needed more Korean-made Korean War movies with random Western actors to generate foreign interest. Its still a pretty nice movie nonetheless.)

The Battle of Jangsari (or Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes) is a 2019 war film directed by South Korean directors Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hoon. The film is the second installment of a trilogy of Korean War epics produced by Taewon Entertainment, the first being Operation Chromite (2017). The films tells the story of 772 student-soldiers and their South Korean Army cadres deployed to the coast of Jangsari as one of many diversionary assaults covering for the Incheon Landings. Meanwhile, an American reporter named Maggie (Megan Fox) comes across information of the impossible mission being undertaken by the students and is determined to help them in any way she can.
The following weapons were used in the film The Battle of Jangsari:
The Tokarev TT-33 is seen as the standard sidearm to KPA officers. NCOs of the ROK Army cadre are seen using captured TT-33s when disguised as KPA officers.

Lee Myung-Joon (Kim Myung-min) pulls his TT-33 pistol out and takes aim. He adopts a low, double-handed grip, which is odd for the time period as soldiers are usually trained to fire sidearms one-handed.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe other side of the pistol.

Submachine Guns
M3 Grease Gun
ROK Army cadres and student-soldiers are seen using M3 Grease Guns.
North Korean troops use Mosin Nagant M1891s as their standard rifle. Student soldiers of the South Korean forces are also seen with Mosins as well, presumably being re-issued captured enemy firearms. Several M38 Carbines are also seen among both North and South Korean troops.
A M15 anti-tank mine is discovered by the student-soldiers after an Allied bombing dislodges it from the top of a cliff, presumably planted by the North Korean forces first. They eventually recover it and use it later in an ambush.
Several S-Mines are seen planted all over the Jangsari beach defenses by the defending North Korean forces. Oddly, they behave like contact mines, detonating almost immediately after being tripped with a upwards directional blast, which is not how the S-Mine normally operates.
