Oba: The Last Samurai (Also known in Japan as 太平洋の奇跡−フォックスと呼ばれた男, Miracle of the Pacific: The Man Called Fox) is a 2011 Japanese-American war film based on the real life story of Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi), whom led a band of former IJA soldiers-turned guerrillas against the US Marines occupying Saipan.
The following weapons are seen in Oba: The Last Samurai:
Sidearms
Colt M1911A1
Captain Lewis (Sean McGowan) and Lieutenant Lang (James Judd) use the Colt M1911A1 in combat.
FN Model 1910
Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi) can be seen with an FN Model 1910 sidearm at one scene. This is actually not unrealistic; Japanese officers often bought more reliable European pistols rather then domestic.
Nambu Type 14
A Japanese soldier can be seen using a Nambu Type 14 when leading a patrol.
Walther PP
Captain Sakae Ōba (Yutaka Takenouchi) and other Japanese officers use the Walther PP. This is an odd choice, although it is possible that it was merely purchased as a custom sidearm from China.
Submachine Guns
M1 Thompson
One of the US Marines can be seen firing an M1 Thompson during the Japanese Banzai charge, distinguished by it's L-sight.
M1A1 Thompson
Horiuchi (Toshiaki Karasawa), a Japanese guerrilla, uses an M1A1 Thompson. The weapon is also seen in the hands other other US Marines.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun"
A US Marine can be seen with a Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun" on patrol.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38
Several Japanese soldiers are armed with the Arisaka Type 38.
Arisaka Type 99
The main weapon of the IJA troops is the Arisaka Type 99 last-ditch rifle.
