Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Enders tries to help a Marine over a log before he is shot. M1928A1 Thompson For the remainder of the film, Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage ) uses an M1928A1 Thompson fitted with a 30 round magazine (although the capacity is continually ignored, being a John Woo film). Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson (Christian Slater ) also uses an M1928A1. Since this is a Woo film, whenever Enders or Ox comes running in, all it takes is a good hip fired burst from their Thompsons and all the Japs are dead.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing M1928A1 Thompson - .45 ACP. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Enders hugs the dirt while armed with his M1928A1 Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Enders lets loose his M1928A1 Thompson. File:WindtalkersM1928A1Thompson-3.jpg Sgt. Enders reloads his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Ox fires his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Enders with his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Sgt. Ox with his Thompson. The shot is clearly reversed since Christian Slater is right handed and the ejection port is on the right side. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ox fires his Thompson at the Japs. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another shot of Ox firing his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Enders takes out three Japs with his Thompson, firing it with one hand! M1911A1 Both Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage ) and Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson (Christian Slater ) use M1911A1 pistols as their sidearms.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Enders primes a satchel charge while holding his M1911A1. If he had any plan to use it, he'd cock the hammer and put it in his right hand. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Enders packs his M1911A1 in Yahzee's pack when he disguises himself as a Japanese soldier to steal a radio. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Ox fires his M1911A1 after being stabbed by a bayonet. Slater flinches terribley in this scene. Error creating thumbnail: File missing "I can't let them take us." Ox prepares to kill Whitehorse when the Japanese over whelm them. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Instead of killing Whitehorse, he whips him around and fires his M1911A1 some more. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Whitehorse picks up Ox's M1911A1 when a Gunto-wielding Jap decapitates him and fires it, eyes closed. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close up Ox's M1911A1 when Yahzee picks it up and threatens to kill Enders. Note the milling on the ejection port, one of the procedures done to convert a real gun to fire blanks. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Enders reloads his M1911A1 during the final battle. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yahzee forces Enders to turn his M1911A1 on him. M1 Carbine Both Private Ben Yahzee (Adam Beach ) and Private Charlie Whitehorse (Roger Willie ) use M1 Carbines throughout the film. This is strange because usually M1 Carbines were issued to soldiers of higher rank, not first time translator privates. It would be more likely for them to be issued M1 Garands.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Multiple Marines fire their M1 Carbines. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yahzee fires his M1 Carbine, eyes closed. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Yahzee fires his M1 Carbine during the final battle.
