Revision as of 23:49, 12 September 2009
The following firearms were used in the film Flyboys:
Lebel 1886
French soldiers are seen carrying Lebel 1886 rifles and firing them during the battle scenes.
Lewis gun
Reed Cassidy (Martin Henderson) fires a Lewis aircraft gun from his plane.
Vickers Aircraft Machine Gun
All the Lafayette Escadrille airmen, including Blaine Rawlings (James Franco), Eugene Skinner (Abdul Salis), Eddie Beagle (David Ellison), Reed Cassidy (Martin Henderson), William Jensen (Philip Winchester), Nunn (Pip Pickering), and Lyle Porter (Michael Jibson) have Vickers Aircraft Machine Guns on their planes.
Mle 1892 Revolver
The Lafayette Escadrille pilots are given Mle 1892 Revolvers as last-ditch suicide weapons by Cassidy (Martin Henderson). Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) notably uses his to shoot the "Black Falcon" in the end.
anti-aircraft gun
When the Germans first spot the French aircraft, they fire an anti-aircraft gun at it.
LMG 08/15 "Spandau"
The Germans use LMG 08/15 machine guns on their aircraft. Beagle tells the other airmen that they are "9 mm Spandaus", which is incorrect as they are actually the standard German 7.92x57 mm Mauser ammunition.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The primary weapon used by the German infantrymen is the Mauser Gewehr 1898. Some are seen with scope attachments.
Vickers machine gun
The Germans fire a Vickers Mk I Machine Gun in the scene where Beagle crashes his plane and Rawlings lands to rescue him.
