M1 Thompson

The M1 Thompson appears numerous times throughout the film used by various members of the crew of the S.S. Venture during the mission to rescue Ann Darrow (Naomi Watts). The Thompsons seen in the film have the classic 'gangster' configuration; vertical foregrips, flash suppressors, charging handle on the top, and high-capacity drum magazines.

Karabiner 98k

Another weapon used by the crew of the Venture is the German-made Karabiner 98k bolt-action rifle. Though firing a more powerful round, they tend to be less effective in the film overall than the rapid-fire Thompsons.
