Sunshine is a historical drama written, produced and directed by Hungarian director István Szabó. It chronicles the upheaval in Hungary during the 20th century through the eyes of three generations of a Hungary Jewish family. Ralph Fiennes plays three roles in the film as Hungary goes from monarchy, to fascism, and communism and as the family struggles with their religious and cultural identity. Rosemary Harris co-stars, along with her daughter Jennifer Ehle, Rachel Weisz and Mark Strong.
The following guns were used in the movie Sunshine (1999)
Double barreled shotgun
Double barreled shotguns are used for hunting, first by hunters including Ignatz Sonnenschein before World War I, and later by hunters including his grandson Ivan Sors after WWII. (Both men played by Ralph Fiennes)
Mauser K98K
In a concentration camp, the guards are armed with what appear to be Karabiner 98k rifles. During WWII, the Hungarian Army used the FEG 43M rifle, which resembled the K98K.
Mosin Nagant rifle
After World War II, Hungary was behind the Iron Curtain, and thus used Soviet weapons, such as the Mosin Nagant Rifle.
PPSh-41
One of Ivan Sors' superiors uses a PPsh-41 while boar hunting.
Miscellaneous
T-34 and T-55 tanks
After souring with the Hungarian communists, Ivan Sors participates in the Hungarian Revolution of 1956. He rallies the people in a square, despite the Soviet tanks, two T-55s and a T-34 rolling up on them.
