Revision as of 03:55, 3 December 2008
The following weapons were used in the film Pearl Harbor:
M1928A1 Thompson
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, several M1928A1 Thompsons can be seen wielded by U.S. military personnel, fitted with 50-round drum and 30-round box magazines.
Browning Automatic Rifle
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, several Browning Automatic Rifles can be seen wielded by U.S. military personnel.
Browning M2
The Browning M2 heavy machine gun makes several appearances in the film, most notably during the attack on Pearl Harbor where Petty Officer Doris Miller (Cuba Gooding Jr.) uses a pair of M2's in a twin naval anti-aircraft mounting aboard the U.S.S. Nevada to shoot down several Japanese aircraft.
Browning M3
The Browning M3 heavy machine gun appears in the film as the primary armament of U.S. aircraft, specifically the P-40 Warhawk and the B-25 Mitchell, the latter of which have some removed and replaced with black-painted broomsticks to reduce weight and maximize fuel economy.
Browning M1919
At the start of the attack on Pearl Harbor, the tailgunner on a Japanese B5N "Kate" torpedo bomber can be seen firing on people below with a Browning M1919 machine gun. This is highly inaccurate, as the Kate was equipped with a Type 92 heavy machine gun for the tailgunner, as shown below.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
during the attack on Pearl Harbor, Japanese D3A "Val" dive bombers and B5N "Kate" torpedo bombers can be seen with Type 92 heavy machine guns for the tail gunners.
Springfield M1903
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, the majority of U.S. soldiers, sailors, and Marines are seen armed with M1903 Springfield bolt-action rifles.
Winchester Model 1897
During the attack on Pearl Harbor, Sgt. Earl Sistern (Tom Sizemore) can be seen wielding a militarized version of the Winchester Model 1897 shotgun retrieved from the saddlebag of his Indian motorcycle, firing off several rounds at passing Japanese aircraft.
M1911A1
After crashing in Japanese-occupied China, the surviving B-25 Mitchell crews are armed with only M1911A1 pistols to defend themselves. Soon after recovering from the crash, the crews are captured by Japanese soldiers, though a firefight soon erupts, resulting in the death of all the Japanese soldiers, and the loss of Captain Danny Walker (Josh Hartnett). A few M1911A1's can also be seen in the hands of U.S. military personnel during the attack on Pearl Harbor, most notably when several soldiers inspect a crashed Japanese plane.
Arisaka Type 38
After crashing in Japanese-occupied China, the surviving B-25 Mitchell crews are captured by Japanese soldiers armed with Arisaka Type 38 rifles, one of which is used to fatally wound Captain Danny Walker.
Webley Mk IV Revolver
While serving with the British Royal Air Force's Eagle Squadron early in the film, Lt. Rafe McCawley (Ben Affleck) carries a Webley Mk IV revolver as his sidearm. He only uses it once; trying to shoot out the canopy of his Supermarine Spitfire fighter when trying to bail out after suffering critical damage during a dogfight with German fighters during the Battle of Britian.
