Revision as of 12:43, 10 April 2011
The following firearms were used in the film Flyboys:
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 anti-aircraft guns at it.
Maxim LMG 08/15 "Spandau"
The Germans use air-cooled Maxim LMG 08/15 machine guns on their Fokker DR-1 triplanes. 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.
Maxim MG08
The Germans fire a Maxim MG08 in the scene where Beagle crashes his plane and Rawlings lands to rescue him.
