City of Life and Death is a 2009 Chinese historical drama. During the Second Sino-Japanese War, Lu Jianxiong (Liu Ye), a Chinese officer, puts up a valiant but futile defense of the city of Nanking from invading Japanese troops. When the city falls, the Japanese occupiers go on a brutal killing spree, leading to thousands of deaths in what would later become infamously known as the Rape of Nanking.
The following weapons were used in the movie City of Life and Death
Rifles
Type Zhongzheng Rifle
The Type Zhongzheng Rifle is used by Chinese Nationalist soldiers, including Lieutenant Lu Jianxiong (Liu Ye), in defense of Nanking.
Hanyang 88
At least one Nationalist soldier carries a Hanyang 88 in battle.
Arisaka Type 38
The Imperial Japanese soldiers, including Kadokawa Masao (Nakaizumi Hideo), use the Arisaka Type 38 in the battle and occupation of Nanking. True to life, all the rifles are fitted with the Model 30 bayonet.
Machine Guns
ZB26 Machine Gun
The ZB26 Machine Gun is used by Chinese Nationalists in the defense of Nanking.
Ckm wz.30
A Ckm wz.30 is mounted on a Nationalist Vickers Mark E Type B that ambushes a Chinese column during the battle after pretending to be out-of-commission. This suggests that the tank was a Polish model, for the wz.30 was indeed fitted as a coaxial machine gun on Polish armor.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
The Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun is used by Japanese soldiers to mow down Chinese Prisoners of War after the battle.
Type 97 Light Machine Gun
The Type 97 Light Machine Gun is mounted on the Japanese Type 95 "Ha-Go" tanks used to bombard the city.
Type 99 Light Machine Gun
Imperial Japanese soldiers use the Type 99 Light Machine Gun in the battle of Nanking and to massacre Chinese Prisoners of War. Note that this in anachronistic, as the Type 99 didn't enter service until 1939 and the Battle was fought in 1937. The Type 96 Light Machine Gun would have been more accurate, but was probably difficult acquire.

Sidearms
