==Thompson M1928==
Interestingly, the [[Thompson|Thompson M1928]] is also used in the movie. Not very frequent in war movies, this submachine gun gained its notoriety through gangster movies (the usual 50-round drums used in gangster movies were, obviously, replaced by a 20-round stick magazine in this film).
