Oba: The Last Samurai (Also known in Japan as 太平洋の奇跡−フォックスと呼ばれた男, Miracle of the Pacific: The Man Called Fox) is a 2011 Japanese-American war film based on the real life story of Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi), whom led a band of former IJA soldiers-turned guerrillas against the US Marines occupying Saipan.
The following weapons are seen in Oba: The Last Samurai:
Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi) can be seen with an FN Model 1910 sidearm at one scene. This is actually not unrealistic; Japanese officers often bought more reliable European pistols rather then domestic.
Nambu Type 14
A Japanese soldier can be seen using a Nambu Type 14 when leading a patrol.
Walther PP
Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi) and other Japanese officers use the Walther PP. This is an odd choice, although it is possible that it was merely purchased as a custom sidearm from China.
Submachine Guns
M1 Thompson
One of the US Marines can be seen firing an M1 Thompson during the Japanese banzai charge, distinguished by it's L-sight.
M1A1 Thompson
Horiuchi (Toshiaki Karasawa), a Japanese guerrilla, uses an M1A1 Thompson. The weapon is also seen in the hands other other US Marines.
