Polish weapons
According to this website [1] (in Polish) during the filming of Kelly's Heroes the BAR was substituted with the Polish Browning wz. 1928 and the Colt 1911 pistols have been substituted by Polish Vis wz. 35 pistols. Can anyone confirm or deny this? Kmieciu 18:57, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Well just by looking at the screenshots, I think you are right about the BAR. The Wooden fore grip is the same on the Polish wz 1928. The grips on the FN BAR Type D is different. Also I think you are right about the Polish Radom Pistols. The grip looks too fat at the base to be the M1911A1. Funny. GM45's original screenshots identify the guns as Radoms, but the section was edited to call them M1911A1s, so GM45 got it right from the get go. I will change them. But I don't have ANY good pics of the Polish wz 1928 :( MoviePropMaster2008 19:41, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- How about this photo. Pics of the Browning wz. 28 are hard to find on the internet so it's better than nothing. Kmieciu 20:00, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- Is it the same gun that Petuko is using though? Look in the three shots where he's firing it and note the position of his hand. If there's a pistol grip, he's not using it. And it's hard to see if there is a pistol grip at all in this photo. --funkychinaman 21:13, 21 May 2010 (UTC)
- They removed the pistol grip MoviePropMaster2008 20:11, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

- You can see that the two arms of the bipod are connected just like on the Browning wz. 28 and unlike on the BAR M1918 or FN model D machine gun Kmieciu 21:55, 21 May 2010 (UTC)

Check this out for comparison
Here is the shots from the film:
Now compare the Polish Browning wz 1928 with the FN BAR Model D
Grenades
I know they're supposed to be Mk 2s, but the hand grenades look more like F1 hand grenade. --Funkychinaman (talk) 03:13, 26 January 2014 (EST)
Tanks
I know it's not related to Kelly's Heroes, but since we mentioned it, the tanks in Battle of the Bulge are M47 Pattons not M41 Walker Bulldogs Majorcamo (talk) 19:41, 4 May 2015 (EDT)
