The following weapons were used in the film Hell Below Zero:
Survivors from Southern Truce find a Lee-Speed Sporter rifle in Eric Bland's tent. Duncan Craig (Alan Ladd) takes this rifle, later is it seen in hands of Erik Bland (Stanley Baker) instead of previously used sporterized Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* due to a continuity error.
Sporterized Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
During the final confrontation Erik Bland (Stanley Baker) uses a sporterized rifle. The shape and position of the bolt and ajustable sight allow to identify the base model as Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*. The rifle lacks typical protruding magazine, so it appears to be a 5-shot version (such sporters were made, for instance, by Parker-Hale).
Trivia
Harpoon Cannon
A harpoon cannon is mounted on Southern Truce. This is a 90mm Kongsberg model, one of the most widely used harpoon cannons throughout the world.
