Everyman's War is a 2009 war film directed by Thad Smith. It stars Cole Carson as Don Smith, a young man drafted into the 94th Infantry Division during World War Two and sent into combat in France and Germany with a Heavy Machine Gun Section.
The following weapons were used in the film Everyman's War:
Despite being the standard-issue combat rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War Two, the M1 Garand is seen scarcely throughout the movie. This is historically accurate, for weapons squads such as the one depicted in the film would normally be issued lighter weapons such as the M1 Carbine. The most notable user is Pvt. Karl Heinrich (Brian Julian), the section ammunition carrier.
A Makarov PM, thrown into a river by a surrendering German Officer, is used by a German Prisoner of War (Micah Klatt) to commit suicide. Although the Makarov was not standard issue for German Officers, it's presence in the film is not unrealistic; it could have been easily taken as a souvenir from the Eastern Front. For instance, many German soldiers picked up PPSh-41 Submachine Guns from the Russians.
