The German troops assisting the British in their hunt for Harry Lime carry Karabiner 98k rifles.
Browning Hi-Power
Maj. Calloway (Trevor Howard), a British Army M.P. in Vienna, carries a Browning Hi-Power. One of the Austrian police officers leading the chase for Lime through the sewers also carries a Hi-Power.
Luger P08
