Hornets' Nest is a 1970 World War II thriller that stars Rock Hudson as a wounded American officer who is enlisted by a group of Italian children to help them get revenge against the SS for the massacre of their hometown.
The following guns were used in the film Hornets' Nest:
The MG42 machine gun is seen a few times in the film, notably by Captain Turner (Rock Hudson) to shoot a Kübelwagen, and later by Aldo (Mark Colleano) at the dam.
Although seen only fleetingly, the US paratroopers led by Captain Turner (Rock Hudson) are armed with M3 "Grease Guns." After the Americans are killed, the Germans collect their guns.
Captain von Hecht (Sergio Fantoni) carries a Luger P08 as his personal sidearm, which he uses to kill the cruel SS officer Major Taussig. Aldo (Mark Colleano) also uses one at the end of the film.
This Double Barreled Shotgun originally belonged to Captain von Hecht, but Aldo (Mark Colleano) stole it from his office. It is carried around by him and sometimes his second in command Dino (John Fordyce), but never fired.
A Hotchkiss M1914 Machine Gun with a fake elongated barrel and belt-fed ammunition is seen in a machine gun nest near the dam. Turner kills the men manning it. It's used as an anchor for a rope so he and the boys can climb down the cliff and into the water.
