The following firearms can be seen in The Guns of Navarone: (1961)
Handguns
1934 Mauser Pocket Pistol
Lt. Colonel Muesel (Walter Gotell) also uses a M1934 Mauser as his sidearm. After overpowering Muesel, Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck) appropriates his Mauser.
Supressed Mauser M1934 Pistol
Pappadimos's sidearm is a Mauser M1934 which he always uses with a silencer attatched. In the end gunbattle, he gives the Beretta to his sister, Maria (Irene Pappas) so she can be armed in the end gunbattle but it is confiscated by Mallory after Maria shoots Anna.
Luger P08
When the group is captured, SS Captain Sessler (George Mikell) uses a Luger P08 to torture Franklin by hitting his injured leg with it.
Smith and Wesson M1917
The commandos bring Smith and Wesson M1917 Revolvers as their sidearms. Roy Franklin (Anthony Quayle) attempts to commit suicide with one but is stopped by Mallory.
Webley Mk IV
In the beginning of the film, when Mallory recruits Andrea (Anthony Quinn), he pulls out a Webley from his shoulder holster but then puts it back when he recognizes Mallory.
Submachine Guns
Sten Mk I & Sten Mk III
Several of the commandos bring Sten Mk I and Sten Mk III submachine guns with them (some fitted with a simplified production stock), and use them often against German soldiers. Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn) uses a Sten gun at the beginnig of the film when a German patrol boat arrives at the Greek fishing boat boat. He kills several Germans with it who climb aboard his boat and also kills several Germans with the same gun in the end gunbattle. Spyros Pappadimos (James Darren) kills several Germans and then confronts their officer (who also has a Sten gun. How the officer got one is unknown) with the Sten. All scenes where an actor actually fires a Sten gun, a prop gun is actually used that is fitted with a small flame device to represent the guns flash (in slow motion you can see that the actors aren't actually pressing the guns trigger in time with the shots).
Sten Mk IIS
Spyro's sister Maria Papadimos carries a SOE supplied Sten Mk IIS with a integral silencer, these weapons were dropped to Resistance units all over Europe during World War II.
MP40
The common weapon of the German Army in the film is the MP40 , which is unrealistic. The MP40 was mostly issued to NCO's and other specialist troops. It was not standard issue for line troops. They would have used Mauser rifles.
Rifles
Mosin Nagant
Andrea carries a Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle and kills four Germans with it when they climb the hill. After that, he never fires it again but is seen holding it several times.
Karabiner 98k|Mauser Karabiner 98k
Some Germans use Mauser Karabiner 98k rifles, but the MP40 is far more common in the film.
Machine gun
Bren Gun
On the fishing boat, Pappadimos keeps a Bren gun hidden under a blanket when the German patrol boat arrives. When the Germans discover who they are, Pappadimos whips out the Bren and guns down several soldiers. The Bren gun is never seen after that.
