Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Revolvers
Webley .38 Mk IV
Colonel Winnant (James D'Arcy) carries a Webley .38 Mk IV revolver in his 1937 canvas holster.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
British soldiers including Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) and Alex (Harry Styles) are seen carrying Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* rifles. Some of them are mockups with straight bolt handles and smaller barrels.
SMLE Mockup
Some rifle mockups can be seen resembling real Lee-Enfield rifles.
MAS-36
French soldiers use MAS-36 rifles.
A French soldier drags Tommy into the rearguard position.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is briefly seen carried by a German soldier during the capture of Farrier (Tom Hardy).
Submachine Guns
MP40
The MP40 is briefly seen carried by a German soldier during the capture.
Machine Guns
Chatellerault M1924/29
A French soldier in a rearguard position mans a Chatellerault M1924/29.
Hotchkiss M1914
A Hotchkiss M1914 is also seen in the same rearguard position manned by French soldiers.
Vickers K
Vickers K machine guns are fitted to British Motor Torpedo Boats. This is potentially anachronistic because as a general rule Motor Torpedo Boats at the time were fitted with ground pattern Lewis Guns, not being replaced with the Vickers K until 1942. The actual boat used during production is MTB 102 which was actually present during the real Dunkirk evacuation (acting as the flagship for Rear Admiral Wake-Walker), and is, in fact, the sole surviving Royal Navy vessel that participated in the operation.
Bren Mk1
A Bren Mk1 is fired from an anti-aircraft mount on a Royal Navy destroyer. At least one British soldier carries a Bren gun.
Heavy Weapons
Bofors 40mm
Several Bofors 40mm AA-guns are seen used by British soldiers at Dunkirk.

Oerlikon 20mm Cannons are mounted on the British Motor Torpedo Boat and the Destroyer Maillé-Brézé.
Other

Supermarine Spitfire Mark IA
The Spitfires are armed with eight Browning .303 Mk II machine guns.
Hispano Aviación HA-1112
The Hispano Aviación HA-1112, which portrayed German Messerschmitt Bf 109E fighters, is armed with Hispano-Suiza HS.404 20mm cannons.
Bolingbroke Mk. IVT
A Bolingbroke Mk. IVT maritime patrol aircraft portrays a Bristol 142 Blenheim Mk.I bomber.
