Colonia, also known as The Colony, is a 2015 movie directed by Florian Gallenberger (John Rabe). In the midst of the Chilean military coup of 1973, Lena and her boyfriend Daniel are arrested by Augusto Pinochet's secret police. While Lena is allowed to run again after a short time, Daniel is taken to the isolated Colonia Dignidad camp in the south of the country. Lena follows him and joins the sect to free him.
The following weapons were used in the film Colonia:
Handguns
Unknown Pistol
A Chilean soldier is seen with an unknown pistol to execute a Union leader. Possibly from the Argentine Armory like most weapons in the movie.
Submachine Guns
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
Some Chilean troops are armed with M3A1 "Grease Gun"s.

A few Chilean soldiers can be seen with Halcón M-57 submachine guns. Unlike the M3A1 "Grease Gun", the Halcón is only seen in one scene in the background.

Mauser M1909 Mountain
Short-barreled Mauser rifles can be seen held by some soldiers. Due to the filming of this scene taking place in Buenos Aires, they are most likely Argentine M1909 Mountain carbines standing in for Chilean Mauser 1935 carbines.
