Handguns

Colt Commander

Colonel Pitts (Larry Hagman) carries a Colt Commander as his sidearm. He is seen with the pistol when he searching Joanna's house. A Colt Commander is also seen briefly being used by a Ranger during the church battle. This was probably a stand-in for the regular Colt 45, the Colt Commander itself wasn't introduced on the market until after World War II.

Rifles & Carbines

M2 Carbine

Colonel Pitts (Larry Hagman) and most of his Rangers, including Captain Clark (Treat Williams), are equipped with anachronistic M2 Carbines. Several of the Rangers magazines are seen taped together "Jungle Style" for faster reloads.
