Age of Heroes is a 2011 British World War II action film that focuses on the 30 Commando Troop - the forerunners to the SAS that was created by James Bond author Ian Fleming (who was working in British Naval Intelligence during the war). The film stars Sean Bean and Danny Dyer and follows the unit during a top secret mission in occupied Norway.
The following weapons were used in the film Age of Heroes:
The men of 30 Commando Troop, noticeably Corporal Bob Rains (Danny Dyer) and contact Liv Jensen (Izabella Miko - who acquired it from the commandos) are armed with Colt M1911A1 pistols.
Corporal Bob Rains (Danny Dyer) uses a captured Webley Mk VI to hold Major Jack Jones (Sean Bean) at gunpoint and secure his escape from Military Prison.
The M1928A1 Thompson, mostly fitted with a simplified rear sight, is the main weapon of 30 Commando Troop, including Major Jones (Sean Bean) and Rains (Danny Dyer).
The main weapon of the German troops in Norway is the MP40, most notably a Waffen SS soldier (Dominic Ryan) who uses it to execute Norwegian civilians for aiding the resistance. 30 Commando Troop use captured MP40s in training to familiarize with German weaponry; Sergeant Gray (Tony Hood) also uses a captured MP40 in combat. Most of the MP40s seen in the film are airsoft replicas, if not all. This is evidenced by the fact that most of the guns don't eject any shells, and the CGI muzzle flashes have been added in post-production.
Sergeant MacKenzie (William Houston) commandeers an MG42 during the attack on the German base, using it to great effect. Since the film is set in 1941, its appearance is anachronistic.
