Revision as of 02:15, 28 July 2012
The following firearms were used in the film Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade:
Handguns
Webley "WG" Army Model
Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) uses a Webley "WG" Army Model revolver as his weapon of choice in this film. During the Plane Scene, he considers using it to shoot at the German Plane, only to find it with no ammo.
Walther PPK
Walter Donovan (Julian Glover) carries a Walther PPK as his sidearm. He first holds the pistol on Indiana and then on Henry Jones, Sr. (Sean Connery), in order to get Indy to retrieve the Holy Grail for the Germans. It has been said that the use of a PPK to shoot Connery's character was intentional as a nod to the James Bond films (in which he carried a PPK). Another weapon of this model is used by the female German Communications Officer that spots Indy and his father when they are tied up in the room that's set on fire.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is a very common weapon in this film, used by a large majority of the German Soldiers and Officers. It is also seen used by Indy during the tank chase, using one to shoot 3 or 4 German Soldiers in a row.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is the sidearm of Colonel Vogel (Michael Byrne).
Mauser C96
Kazim and his men in the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword use Mauser C96 pistols in Venice, most notably used to pistol whip Marcus Brody, knocking him out.
Single Action Army
A 4 3/4 inch Colt Single Action Army revolver is carried by the grey haired grave robber during the circus train chase. He points it at young Indy after he is pulled from the lion's boxcar. It is also known as a Colt 1873 "Peacemaker".
Submachine Guns
MP40
The German Soldiers in the Castle all use MP40 SMGs as their weapon of choice. Indy takes one from a German Officer and uses it to gun down the German Soldiers that threaten him and his father, he later drops it when Vogel holds Elsa Schneider (Alison Doody) at gunpoint. As the film is set in 1938, this would be an anachronism, but artistic license "could" be claimed by saying they are meant to depict the earlier MP38 (which would be less available as a prop). At least the use of MP28 & MP35 SMGs lends more accuracy than the universal use of MP38/40's in Raiders of the Lost Ark, which was set in 1936.
Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II
During the Boat Chase scene in Venice, Kazim (Kevork Malikyan) attempts to use a Haenel-Schmeisser MP28/II to kill Indy and Schneider. Is is also seen with the receiver catch undone.
Beretta Model 38/42 (mocked up as a Villar-Perosa Mod 15)
In the scene where Indy and his father escape the Zeppelin, they are attacked by 2 German fighter airplanes. Indy's father uses a Villar-Perosa Mod 15 mounted on the biplane to try and hold off the fighters, but accidentally shoots the biplane's tail. While the gun is clearly SUPPOSED to be a Villar Perosa Mod 15, the actual prop used was built by mating two upside-down Beretta Model 38/42 submachine guns. This explains the straight magazines and why it really doesn't look too much like a Villar-Perosa.
Bergmann MP35/I
When the Brotherhood members attack the German Convoy looking for the Holy Grail, the German Soldiers are seen using Bergmann MP35/Is.
Rifles
Karabiner 98K
Another weapon used by the German Soldiers throughout the Film is the Karabiner 98k. K98 rifles are also used by the Cultists that attack the German Convoy.
M1916 Spanish Mauser
Previously identified incorrectly as a Karabiner 98k. It differs in its handguard (extends behind rear sight), bayonet lug (located below stock), and forward sling mount (flexible). The K98 has a shorter handguard, bayonet lug between the barrel and the cleaning rod, and a fixed sling mount.
Czech vz. 24
A member of the Brotherhood of the Cruciform Sword fires a Czech vz. 24 rifle at the Germans. Sometimes incorrectly identified in this scene as a Karabiner 98k. It has a straight bolt handle, a handguard that extends behind the rear sight, and two different forward sling mounts, one under and one at the side. That fits the profile of the Czech vz. 24. The K98 does not have any of these features.
Other
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
German Soldiers use the Model 24 Stielhandgranate (Potato Masher) stick grenades against the members of the Brotherhood.
Fighter Plane Machine Guns
A German fighter plane opens fire on the biplane carrying Indy and his father. In reality, the plane was a Pilatus P-2, a Swiss-manufactured training aircraft flown primarily by the Swiss Air Force, but widely seen used in productions as a substitute for German fighters.
Trivia Special
Republic of Hatay
- The "Republic of Hatay" did exist from 1937 to 1939. But was wrongly portrayed as an Arab Monarchy with a Sultan rather than Turkish as it was.
Replica WWI Tank
- A mock Mark VIII Liberty Tank was built from a 28 ton excavator chassis and fitted with a top mounted turret.
