Revision as of 00:59, 21 March 2012
Patton is the 1970 biographical war film that stars George C. Scott as the legendary US Army general. The film was filmed principally in Spain, utilizing the military assets of the Spanish Army.
The following weapons were used in the film Patton:
Handguns
Single Action Army
True to his real life counterpart, Gen. George S. Patton (George C. Scott) in the film carries an ivory-gripped Single Action Army in his holster with his initials "GSP" engraved on the grip. When a reporter asks him about his "pearl-handled revolvers", Patton quickly retorts "They're ivory. Only a pimp from a cheap New Orleans whorehouse would carry a pearl-handled pistol."
-Fact: George C. Scott's Patton (and his real life counterpart) only carries one ivory handle Colt 1873 Single Action Army. The second pistol he carried was an ivory handle Smith and Wesson .357 magnum, later given the designation Model 27. The Single Action Army was engraved and had an Eagle carved into the left grip panel. Both the Model 27 and Single Action Army also had Patton's monogram on the right grip panel.
Smith & Wesson .357 Registered Magnum Revolver
Patton's signature ivory-handled SAA is replaced by a Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum with his "GSP" initials engraved on it for the shot during his opening speech. General Patton purchased the Smith & Wesson Model 27 in 1935 directly from Smith & Wesson. He had the nickname "Two Guns" as he wore matching Colt SAA that he had until giving one away as a gift. He then wore that Smith & Wesson in place of the one given away. He also wore Colt 1908 Hammerless Pistol and a Remington Model 51 pistol.
Colt Model 1903 Hammerless
Patton also carries a Colt Model 1903 Hammerless as a personal sidearm (kept either in his waistband or a shoulder holster), most notably using it to shoot at a German plane that fires at his headquarters in North Africa. Major General Walter Bedell Smith (Edward Binns) also carries a Colt Hammerless in a shoulder holster.
Colt M1911
American soldiers and officers, including Gen. Omar Bradley ([[[Karl Malden]]), carry the Colt M1911 on their holsters, sometimes shoulder holsters.
Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson is primarily carried by the staff officers of both Gen. Patton and Gen. Bradley, but is also seen in the hands of US soldiers.
MAT-49
Some of the Morrocan troops that line up for Patton carry MAT-49 submachine guns. These are anachronistic for the scene, which takes place in 1943, as they weren't developed until a few years later.
MAS-36
The Morrocan troops that march for Patton carry MAS-36 rifles.
MP40
Many German soldiers carry MP40 submachine guns.
Rifles
M1903 Springfield
Some of the American soldiers carry M1903 Springfield rifles into battle.
Karabiner 98k
Many of the Germans carry Karabiner 98k rifles.
M1 Carbine
Gen. Omar Bradley (Karl Malden) and many American soldiers carry the M1 Carbine.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk. I
The British troops carry Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I rifles.
M1 Garand
Many of the American soldiers carry M1 Garand rifles.
Machine Guns
Browning M2 Aircraft
Patton himself holds onto the barrel of a Browning M2 Aircraft heavy machine gun while riding atop a half-track on his way to his new headquarters in North Africa. Several tanks are seen fitted with these as well.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
Tanks and Half-tracks of Patton's Third Army roll through France and Germany with mounted Browning M2HB heavy machine guns.
Browning M1919A4
Browning M1919A4 machine guns are seen mounted on M2 tripods used by American troops during Patton's first engagement with Rommel's forces.
Browning Automatic Rifle
The Browning Automatic Rifle is briefly seen carried by US troops during Patton's first engagement with Rommel's forces.
Other
M20 "Super Bazooka"
What appears to be an M20 Bazooka is used by Patton's troops (Like the American tanks in the film, the M20 would not be correct for the time period).
Panzerfaust
During the winter offensive, a German soldier is briefly seen carrying the Panzerfaust.
Flamethrower
A German soldier uses a Flamethower to take out an American half-track during the Battle of the Bulge.
