Evita is a 1996 musical drama film, adapted from Andrew Lloyd Webber's 1978 musical about the life of Eva Perón, the wife of Argentine President Juan Perón and First Lady of Argentina. The film is directed by Alan Parker and stars Madonna as Eva Perón, Jonathan Pryce as Juan Perón, and Antonio Banderas as Che who acts as the film's narrator.
The following weapons were used in the film Evita:
Submachine Guns
Halcón Modelo 1943
In the scene of the 1943 Argentine coup d'etat, some soldiers are armed with Halcón submachine guns. The guns themselves are unclear but the Halcón Modelo 1943 seems to be the best guess.
Halcón Modelo 1949
During the funeral of Eva Perón, soldiers on motorcycles carry submachine guns that appear to be the Halcón Modelo 1949.
Rifles
1893 Spanish Mauser
1893 Spanish Mausers are the most commonly seen rifle in the hands of Argentine soldiers. As many scenes with mass amounts of extras were filmed not in Argentina but in Hungary, the usage of Spanish rifles may be explained by the insufficient number of available 1909 Argentine Mausers (though some rifles of correct model appear on screen, see below).
1909 Argentine Mauser Rifle
Some genuine 1909 Argentine Mausers are also used by soldiers.
1909/26 Argentine Mauser Carbine
In the scene when the members of the overthrown government are sent into exile, military police personnel hold short rifles that are supposed to be 1909/20 Carbines.
Mauser short rifles/carbines
Mauser short rifles and carbines of unclear models are briefly seen in several scenes.
Machine Guns
Browning M1917
In the scene of the 1943 Argentine coup d'etat, Argentine Navy sailors use a Browning M1917 machine gun in the battle for the Navy Petty-Officers School of Mechanics, the most violent episode of the event.
Unidentified machine gun
Two unidentified machine guns, mounted on motorcycles, are very briefly seen in one scene. They are likely of different models as the barrels are quite different.
Other Weapons
Federal Gas Riot Gun
Police use Federal Gas Riot Guns against the rioting crowd.
Trivia
M4 Sherman
Two M4A1 Sherman tanks are used in the movie.
FV721 Fox
Two FV721 Fox armored reconnaissance vehicles are used in the movie. This vehicle was never used by Argentine military. The decommissioned armored cars have their RARDEN autocannons removed and replaced with mockup short-barreled cannons that makes the vehicles distantly resemble the Panhard AML with 90mm cannon (the AML was really used in Argentina but of course later than 1943).
M3 Half-track
Several M3 half-track APCs are also seen in the movie.
Unidentified field gun
A field gun is used during the coup d'etat. It is supposedly a 105mm howitzer.
