Thompson M1928

Interestingly, the Thompson M1928 is also used in the movie. Not very frequent in war movies, this submachine gun gained its notoriety through gangster movies (Usual 50-round drums used in gangster movies were, obviously, replaced by a 20-round stick magazine in this film).

Browning M1919

Removed from the tank, a Browning M1919 contributes a lot in the fight against the Germans. While, mostly used by Tambul (Robert Wisdom), it is later picked by Sgt. Gunn.
