The firearms used in the 1984 film Nineteen Eighty Four were of World War II vintage in keeping with George Orwell's original novel by the film makers. In Orwell's novel, the weapons technology used by the militaries of Oceania, Eurasia, and Eastasia were the same weapons the Allied and the Axis forces used during World War II in order to perpetuate the "Endless War" by keeping people busy, wasting resources for the wars, and keeping old and outdated machines and technology in service. The following firearms that were seen in the film were...
Lee-Enfield No.5 Jungle Carbine
Seen in the hands of Oceanian soldiers. One scene shows a unit of Oceanian soldiers marching into battle with No.5 Jungle Carbines slung over their left shoulders.
Note: The No.4 rifle picture is here until somebody can produce a picture of a No.5 Jungle Carbine
Mosin-Nagant
Seen in the hands of a Eurasian soldier in the propaganda film at the beginning of 1984. The footage of the Eurasian soldier with the Mosin-Nagant was footage of a Red Army soldier using his Mosin-Nagant rifle on the Eastern Front during World War II.
PPSh-41 sub-machine gun
Seen in the hands of Eurasian soldiers in the propaganda film. The PPSh-41s were seen with 75-round drum magazines.
