The following weapons were used in the film All Quiet on the Western Front:
Turkish Mauser
Throughout the movie most of the German soldiers can be seen using Turkish Model 1903's as a stand in for the Gewehr 98. You can tell it is a Mauser 1903 by the lack of the Langes Visier rear sight, finger groove seen on most Gewehr 98's, and the characteristic front barrel band seen on the Mauser 98 and many of it's derivatives.
Maxim MG08
In the first scene where French soldiers attack the German trench and in some later battle scenes, a Maxim MG08 can be seen.
Lebel 1886
The Lebel 1886 can be seen by most of the French Soldiers.
Hotchkiss M1909
In the first battle scene, a mounted Hotchkiss M1909 is used by a French soldier.
Model 24 hand grenade
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate is used in numerous occasions by German soldiers, including the main character, Paul Baumer (Richard Thomas). It is an anachronism. The Model was manufactured from 1924, after WWI. At that time it was rather a Model 17 Stielhandgranate. His mock-up but not available to filmmakers.
