The M1 Garand is used by most of the men in the 7th Infantry Division, including Pvt. Franklin (Woody Strode). At least one soldier carries a rifle grenade launcher attached to his Garand.

M2 Flamethrower
A 7th Infantry Division soldier can be seen with an M2 Flamethrower during the battle. Oddly, a Chinese soldier uses one to burn an American outpost during the final battle.
Chinese soldiers can be seen using the PPSh-41 submachine gun during the Battle of Pork Chop Hill with both 35 round stick magazines and 71 round drum magazines.
Several Chinese soldiers can be seen using the Lewis Gun from bunkers on Pork Chop Hill. This version has the cooling jacket replaced by a smaller version. The gun also has a slightly different drum fitted compared to the original drum.
