(The scope on Shirai's K98 has flared ends and uses a ZF39 mount, so it cannot be a PU as previously stated. Also corrected the inaccurate attribution of Hi-Powers to German officers.)
A Wehrmacht officer uses a [[Browning_Hi-Power#Browning_Hi-Power|Browning Hi-Power]] during the Battle of Hedosk.
Wehrmacht officers inexplicably use [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1 pistols]] during the Battle of Hedosk. Close examination shows that the guns are not actually fired, with muzzle flashes added in post-production.

Shirai ([[Fan Bingbing]]), a Chinese guerrilla sniper, uses what appears to be a [[Karabiner 98k|Karabiner 98k Sniper]] fitted with a PU-style scope. The choice of weapon is inaccurate; however, the film was shot in Latvia, and the weapon is never seen at much detail, indeed it bears some resemblance to the more accurate [[Mauser_Rifle_Series#Type_Zhongzheng_Rifle|Type Zhongzheng Rifle]], the giveaway being a turned-down bolt handle.
Shirai ([[Fan Bingbing]]), a Chinese guerrilla sniper, uses what appears to be a [[Karabiner 98k|Karabiner 98k Sniper]] fitted with a ZF39 scope on a side rail mount. The choice of weapon is inaccurate, but since the film was shot in Latvia and the weapon is never seen in much detail, it is probably meant to stand in for the more accurate [[Mauser_Rifle_Series#Type_Zhongzheng_Rifle|Type Zhongzheng Rifle.]]
My Way (Korean title:마이 웨이) is a 2011 South Korean war film directed by Kang Je-gyu. Two Rival marathoners, Korean rickshaw driver Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Japanese-born Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri), are put into front-line service with the Imperial Japanese Army, Jun-Shik a draftee and Tatsuo a fiercely Nationalist colonel. Captured by the Red Army during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, they endure a harsh journey that takes them from a forced-labor camp in Russia to battle against the Wehrmacht and ultimately defending Omaha Beach from the Americans on D-Day.
Wehrmacht officers inexplicably use Colt M1911A1 pistols during the Battle of Hedosk. Close examination shows that the guns are not actually fired, with muzzle flashes added in post-production.
Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) and several other Japanese officers use the Nambu Type 14. Note that the large trigger guard makes this a "late" Nambu, which would be inaccurate for the Battle of Khalkhin Gol.
The Tokarev TT-33 is used by Red Army prison guards and Commissar's. Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) uses a presumably captured TT-33 to execute retreating Japanese soldiers at Khalkhin Gol.
Both Red Army and Wehrmacht officers use the PPSh-41 (not inaccurate, many Germans fighting on the Ostfront used the PPSh-41). However, the weapon does make an appearance amongst the Labor camp guards in scenes set pre-1941, which would make it anachronistic.
The main weapon of the Wehrmacht soldiers is the Karabiner 98k. Oddly enough, several US soldiers also use the 98k - possibly because of an inadequate number of US rifles.
At least one soldier can be seen with a Karabiner 98k "Kriegsmodell" rifle, a late war version of the Kar 98k intended to simplify production. Specifically this rifle is a "semi-Kriegsmodell" as it incorporates some simplification features (simpler screw retained barrel bands and no bayonet lug or cleaning rod) but not all (it still has the disk on the buttstock to aid in disassembly of the bolt).
Shirai (Fan Bingbing), a Chinese guerrilla sniper, uses what appears to be a Karabiner 98k Sniper fitted with a ZF39 scope on a side rail mount. The choice of weapon is inaccurate, but since the film was shot in Latvia and the weapon is never seen in much detail, it is probably meant to stand in for the more accurate Type Zhongzheng Rifle.
The MG42 is the main machine gun of the Wehrmacht. Note that it's appearance in the Battle of Hedosk is inaccurate; the battle is set in 1941, a year before the MG42 was adopted. Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) use the MG42 during the D-Day landings.
Imperial Japanese soldiers fire a Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun at Red Army cavalrymen during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, firing from a custom ammunition belt rather then the stripper clip.
