The Silent Mountain is a 2014 Austrian-Italian-American film drama directed by Ernst Gossner. Shot on location in Tyrol and South Tyrol, the film tells a love story at the beginning of the First World War. Tyrol 1915: At his sister's wedding, there is a spark between 20-year-old South Tyrolean Andreas Gruber and 17-year-old Italian Francesca Calzolar. But the young love doesn't get much time, because the next day Andreas has to go to the front. Italy has declared war on Austria. The First World War overruns Tyrol and transforms the Dolomites into one of the most bizarre theaters of war in history.
The following weapons were used in the film The Silent Mountain:
Handguns
Luger P08
Oberleutnant (1st Lieutenant) Sven Kornatz (Werner Daehn) of the 1st Preußisches Jägerbataillon of the Alpenkorps is briefly seen with a Luger P08.
Bodeo M1889
A Bodeo M1889 revolver is wielded by an Austro-Hungarian Oberstleutnant (Lieutenant Colonel).
Glisenti Model 1910
Near the end of the movie, Fritz Weinberger (Fritz Karl) carries an Italian Glisenti Model 1910.
Rifles
Steyr Mannlicher M1895/30 Carbine
Austro-Hungarian Standschützen including Andreas "Anderl" Gruber (William Moseley), Karl Gruber (Harald Windisch), and Georg Lechner (Felix Briegel) are armed with Steyr Mannlicher M95/30 carbines. These carbines are equipped with side and under-mounted sling swivels, short rear sights, and either have a ring at the muzzle or not. The latter is an indication of reworked barrels during the interwar years.
Steyr Mannlicher M1895/30 Short Rifle
The carbines permanently switch to M1895/30 Short Rifles through the scenes.
Mannlicher M1895
Some Austro-Hungarian soldiers can be seen with full-length Mannlicher M1895 rifles which have different front barrel bands and no front handguards.
Carcano M1891
Carcano M91s are seen carried by some Italian soldiers.
Carcano M91 Cavalry Carbine
Angelo Calzolari (Giulio Cristini), Bepi Moiola (Michael Cadeddu), and other Alpini are equipped with Carcano Cavalry Carbines. These are a mix of M91 and M91/38s.
Carcano M91 TS
The Carcano M91 TS is also used by some Italian soldiers.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
German soldiers of the Alpenkorps have Gewehr 1898s.
Springfield M1903
Various Austro-Hungarian and Italian soldiers wield out-of-place American Springfield M1903 rifles.
Machine Guns
Fiat-Revelli M14
A Fiat-Revelli M1914 which appears to be a replica is used by Italian soldiers.
Schwarzlose M.07/12
An unused Schwarzlose M.07/12 is seen in the Italian camp.
Other
Cannon
An unknown cannon can be seen twice in the film, being pushed by Austro-Hungarian soldiers.
