Throughout the film, nearly all of the Broadsword operators are seen using captured ''Wehrmacht'' [[MP40]] submachine guns, and nearly all of the German soldiers guarding the Schloss Adler also use them. In one particularly fun (but highly unrealistic) scene of the film, Lieutenant Schaffer ([[Clint Eastwood]]) wields two MP40s - one in each hand - and uses them to mow down marauding German troops. | |||

The following guns appear in Where Eagles Dare:
MP40
Throughout the film, nearly all of the Broadsword operators are seen using captured Wehrmacht MP40 submachine guns, and nearly all of the German soldiers guarding the Schloss Adler also use them. In one particularly fun (but highly unrealistic) scene of the film, Lieutenant Schaffer (Clint Eastwood) wields two MP40s - one in each hand - and uses them to mow down marauding German troops.
Walther PPK
Both Major Smith (Richard Burton) and Lieutenant Schaffer (Clint Eastwood) are seen using what appear to be Walther PPK pistols (most likely in 7.65mm) fitted with suppressors throughout the film. At one point, SS General Kramer (Anton Diffring) tries to pick up Smith's gun after he drops it, but is killed by Schaffer before he can get off a shot.

Some of the German soldiers fighting Lt. Schaffer attempt to toss Model 24 Stielhandgranate grenades at him, which in typical Hollywood fashion are tossed back (as if the Germans wouldn't be smart enough to delay their throw so that Schaffer couldn't throw them back).
Karabiner 98k
Some of the German guards at Schloss Adler use Karabiner 98k rifles, standard issue to the Wehrmacht in the war, but these are not as common as MP40s (in real life, the reverse should have been true).
