The Lost City of Z is a 2017 American action-adventure biographical film, written and directed by James Gray (The Yards). The film follows British explorer Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) during his lengthy and exhausting expedition to the jungle of the Amazon, where he accidentally encounters traces of an apparently extinct civilization, which no one has yet reported, and is soon convinced of the existence of a missing city, which he calls Z. Upon his return home, he finds that no one believes him and that the discovery is shrouded in the brain. Forced proof of his allegations, Fawcett once again breaks into the jungle of Brazil, accompanied by his now-grown son, Jack (Tom Holland).
The following weapons were used in the film The Lost City of Z:
Revolvers
Webley Mk. IV
The Webley .455 Mk IV is the most used handgun throughout the movie. It is used by Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam), Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson), James Murray (Angus Macfadyen) and Arthur Manley (Edward Ashley). Jack Fawcett (Tom Holland) carries the revolver during the third expedition in 1925.
Webley-Fosbery
Henry Costin (Robert Pattinson) is briefly seen using a Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver during the first expedition.
Webley Mk. VI
Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) uses a Webley Mk VI revolver as he serves in the British army during World War I. He also used it on his third expedition in 1925.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912
A British soldier during the Battle of the Somme is seen with a shotgun which appears to be a Winchester Model 1912.
Rifles
Martini-Henry Mk. III Artillery Carbine
At the film's opening, Percy Fawcett (Charlie Hunnam) wields a Martini-Henry Artillery Carbine Mark III during deer hunting set in 1905.

Steyr Mannlicher M1888-90
An Austro-Hungarian Mannlicher M1888-90 rifle is seen carried by Percy Fawcett during his first expedition in 1906 which he never actually used in the movie.
Gras Model 1874
Percy Fawcett is seen firing a Gras Model 1874 rifle at a pig.
Winchester 1892 Carbine
The personal rifle of Percy Fawcett and his team that they used through his second expedition in 1912 is a Winchester Model 1892 carbine.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III*
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* with and without the Pattern 1907 sword bayonet is the standard service rifle for British troops including Percy's friends during the Battle of the Somme.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
A German soldier is very briefly seen with a Gewehr 98.
Martini-Enfield
What appears to be a Martini-Enfield rifle is seen with Jack Fawcett (Tom Holland) during hunting.
Machine Guns
Maxim M1910/30
During the Battle of the Somme, German soldiers can briefly be seen with an anachronistic Soviet Maxim M1910/30 which stands in for the correct Maxim MG08.
Madsen
A Madsen machine gun is also briefly seen in a German trench. While a glimpse of the magazine is seen in the movie, it is slightly better seen in a promotional picture. The presence of the Madsen gun in this scene is an interesting historical detail, as special German battalions issued with Madsens did participate prominently in the Battle of the Somme.
