Wonder Woman is the 2017 feature film adaptation of the popular DC Comics series of the same name. Gal Gadot stars as Diana, an Amazonian demigod and daughter of Zeus previously introduced in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice who finds herself leaving her home and experiencing the outside world when she meets Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), a U.S. military intelligence officer in the US Army Air Corps. The majority of the film takes place during World War I with bookends set in the modern day. It was originally intended to take place in the second world war, like the original comics, but was altered to the first world war midway through writing to avoid accusations of copying Captain America: The First Avenger. Because of this, some anachronistic weapons appear like a Turkish Mauser from the 30's. Directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) and produced by Zack Snyder, Wonder Woman also is part of the Worlds of DC, which includes Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. Gadot would return in the 2020 sequel Wonder Woman 1984.
The following weapons were used in the film Wonder Woman (2017):
Error creating thumbnail: File missing WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Revolvers
Webley Mk. VI
A Webley Mk VI is taken from an angry bar patron by Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) during a fight.
Reichsrevolver M1883
German spies who confront Steve and Diana in an alley use Reichsrevolver M1883s while in London.
Mle 1892 Revolver
Two German spies also carry Mle 1892 Revolvers.
Pistols
Luger P08
General Ludendorff (Danny Huston) carries a Luger P08 pistol as his sidearm. Several German officers and soldiers also carry the pistol.
Mauser C96
An Officer holds a Mauser C96.
M1911
Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) carries an M1911 pistol as his sidearm throughout the film.
Rifles
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The mainstay rifle for the German Army for World War I, the Mauser Gewehr 1898 is seen in the hands of German troops who engage Wonder Woman. They are seen both with and without bayonets. A German soldier is also seen with a scoped Gewehr 98. The rifle also is seen in the hands of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III
British soldiers are seen carrying Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III rifles. An Enfield also is carried by Sameer (Saïd Taghmaoui).
M1917 Enfield
A scoped M1917 Enfield is used by Charlie (Ewen Bremner). It can be distinguished as an M1917, rather than a .303 P14 Enfield, by the longer grasping grooves on the stock.
Lebel 1886
French soldiers in the British trench armed with Lebel 1886 rifles.
Turkish Mauser 1903/30
German and Turkish soldiers can be seen with 1903/30 Mauser rifles.
Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy"
A Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" is carried by Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock). Note the brass studs hammered into the buttstock. This is an accurate cultural affectation for these rifles by Native Americans.
Machine Guns
Maxim MG08/15
German troops use Maxim Maxim MG08/15s in trench warfare. It is also seen mounted on a German Ehrhardt E-V/4 Armoured car which is unusual because the Ehrhard was armed with Maxim MG08s.
Maxim LMG 08/15 "Spandau"
What appears to be Maxim LMG 08/15 machine guns are mounted on warplanes.
Lewis Gun
Lewis Guns appear both dismounted in the hands of British soldiers (including the one portrayed by Zack Snyder in a cameo) and mounted in British Mk IV "Male" tanks. A Mk IV tank with "Iron Cross" markings can be seen at the German base during the finale, which is actually somewhat accurate as a number of British tanks of various marks were captured and used by the Germans during WWI. The Mk IV tanks in the film lack the unditching beam and rails, which is incorrect as all Mk IV tanks deployed to the western front were fitted with these (however training tanks and tanks deployed to the Middle East did omit this system).
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1897
Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) carries a Winchester Model 1897 shotgun in the film.
Flamethrowers
Wechselapparat M1917
A Wechselapparat M1917 is briefly seen as Steve Trevor prepares to go over the top from a German trench.
Hand Grenades
Mills Bomb
Steve Trevor (Chris Pine) and Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock) use Mills Bombs.
Model 15 Stielhandgranate
A bundle of Model 15 Stielhandgranaten attached to a tomahawk is thrown by Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock). Ares uses his powers to throw a entire crate of them at Wonder Woman in the final battle.
Wurfgranate 15
After capturing a German plane, Steve tosses a Wurfgranate 15 grenade into the factory. Although originally intended for spigot mortars such as the Granatenwerfer 16, Wurfgranates were actually carried by German pilots for aerial bombing. However, in this role they were generally carried nose up in a rack secured by the safety pin in the fuse as opposed to nose down in bins as portrayed here (although this is the method by which Stielhandgranate were carried in the same role).
Other
7.58 cm Leichter Minenwerfer
German soldiers fire a 7.58 cm Leichten Minenwerfer at Wonder Woman.
