The Black Battalion (Cerný prapor) is a 1958 Czechoslovakian film about Czech members of the French Foreign Legion fighting in the French Indo-China War.
The following guns were used in the 1958 Czechoslovak film The Black Battalion (Cerný prapor):
MP40
The French Foreign Legion uses MP40 submachine gun.
Sten
To fight in the jungle was Sten used by both sides of Indochina´s war.
M1 Carbine
The legionaires also was used a U.S. M1 Carbine of various types.
MAS-38
Training Grenade
The legionnaires use what look like modified Great War Italian Pineapple grenades. France purchased many Grenades from Italy during WW1 and started building their own after a while. Though this film takes place in the post-WW2 years, the production seemed to use Italian Pineapple style training grenades, to impersonate French F1s or American Mk IIs.
