Anyone else find it odd the sniper chooses to use an open sight, open bolt Bren instead of his No4 Mk1(T)? --[[User:Maxman|Maxman]] ([[User talk:Maxman|talk]]) 09:06, 16 October 2016 (EDT) | Anyone else find it odd the sniper chooses to use an open sight, open bolt Bren instead of his No4 Mk1(T)? --[[User:Maxman|Maxman]] ([[User talk:Maxman|talk]]) 09:06, 16 October 2016 (EDT) | ||
:I was thinking the same thing. The two guns are in the same caliber (.303 British), and, if anything, the sights on the Bren are considerably worse than the high-range scope on the Enfield. Does anyone know why this would be done? --[[User:Caldwellb734|Caldwellb734]] ([[User talk:Caldwellb734|talk]]) 14:37, 17 October 2016 (EDT) | :I was thinking the same thing.

If anything, they should actually have started using the MAG 57s. Perhaps the Bren is a heavy gun and is more accurate than the Enfield, even a scoped Enfield isn't that accurate compared to other bolt action rifles of the era.

Walther MPL
There appears to be a Walther MPL or similar SMG used by one of the rebels attacking the company. I will upload a screenshot when possible, but the time stamp is at 1:26:59-ish. This would be anachronistic as the MPL was not produced until 1963, while the events in this film took place in 1961. DeadpoolDeadcool (talk) 23:24, 15 October 2016 (EDT)
It's a Franchi LF-57 which actually was used by Congo/Katanga --AdAstra2009 (talk) 04:57, 16 October 2016 (EDT)
"A Bren should do it"?
Anyone else find it odd the sniper chooses to use an open sight, open bolt Bren instead of his No4 Mk1(T)? --Maxman (talk) 09:06, 16 October 2016 (EDT)

Quinlan's Sidearm.
I believe Quinlan carries a Hi Power as his sidearm. It is seen unholstered a couple times. --Westernman1987 (talk) 12:05, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
- I can confirm this, don't have screenshots yet but I did see Quinlan carrying a Hi Power.--Caldwellb734 (talk) 14:37, 17 October 2016 (EDT)
