Gallipoli is an Australian-made miniseries, produced for the 100th anniversary of the ill-fated Gallipoli campaign and based on the non-fiction book by journalist Les Carlyon. Thomas "Tolly" Johnson, a 17 year old Australian, lies about his age so he can follow his older brother Bevan to war. With their mates Dave Klein and Cliff Sutton, they endure the eight month campaign, from landing at Anzac Cove, to the August Offensive, and finally the evacuation.
The following weapons can be seen in the miniseries Gallipoli:
Sidearms
Webley Mk. VI
The Webley Mk. VI revolver is carried by Anzac officers fighting in Gallipoli, most notably Captain Eric Taylor (Jeremy Lindsay Taylor) and Anthony Chandler (Anthony Hayes).
Luger P08
The World War One model Luger P08 is used by Turkish officers. Light Horseman Henry "Stewie" Stewart Watson (Travis Jeffery) is seen with a captured one after a battle with Turkish soldiers.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*
Anzac soldiers carry the Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* rifle in the miniseries, including all four main characters. In Episode 4, The Deeper Scar, Thomas "Tolly" Johnson (Kodi Smit-McPhee) uses a Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III* with special sights fixed for sniper duty. In Episode 7, The Earth Abides, the famous self-firing rifle designed by William Scurry (a .303 with a string attached to a trigger and a water bucket, causing the rifle to fire when the bucket empties) is seen set up during the evacuation.
1903 Turkish Mauser
The 1903 Turkish Mauser is carried by Turkish troops, often fitted with a bayonet.
Machine Guns
Maxim MG08
Turkish soldiers use the Maxim MG08 in defense. It is seen in Episode 2 My Friend, The Enemy when Tolly charges the gun crew to save his brother, and Episode 5, The Breakout, against the Anzac offensive at Lone Pine and the Nek.
Grenades
Jam Tin Grenade
The improvised Jam Tin Grenade, made from empty jam or bully beef tins and filled with gunpowder or dynamite, is used by Anzacs, including Sergeant Harry Percival (Matt Nable).
No. 15 Grenade
The No. 15 Grenade is used by both Anzac and Turkish troops. Cliff Sutton (Tom Budge) throws several during a skirmish in Episode 3, A Man Alone.
