Luger
In the ambush scene in the latest episode ("Sunrise"), I'm pretty sure it is a Luger Smith pulls from his dying driver since his Walther ran dry. Alas, I didn't get a clear shot. --Surv1v4l1st (talk) 22:37, 28 September 2015 (EDT)
Sawed-off Winchester 1887/1901
In episode three ("The Illustrated Woman"), the bounty hunter character appears to be carrying a sawed-off Winchester Winchester 1887/1901. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good screenshot. Just an FYI.--Surv1v4l1st (talk) 21:05, 21 November 2015 (EST)
Rifles
A couple of the Japanese guards in S1E4 are armed with:
Can anyone identify the rifle? Thanks.--Surv1v4l1st (talk) 00:12, 22 November 2015 (EST)
- Ah, that could be it indeed. Thanks!--Surv1v4l1st (talk) 00:36, 22 November 2015 (EST)
- It makes sense because this show takes place in an alternate 1960`s, so the Type 64 still would've still been developed, but under a different name and caliber as the post-war JSDF weapons' Type number refers to the decade and year it went into service using Western dates we are familiar with in our world. In the world of The Man in The High Castle, Japan never lost the war to the allies, so the naming conventions for armaments in Japanese service use the year of Emperor Hirohito's reign, which 1964 equals Showa 39. Therefore the Type 64 must be called Type 39 in The Man in The High Castle's universe, unless it was developed ahead of schedule. I'm wondering if Nazi Germany is replacing their Kar98`s and MP40's with G3`s and MP5`s.--Swordimpulse07 (talk) 00:56, 22 November 2015 (PST)
- That would be my analysis too. The Howa 64 would be a bit ahead of schedule in our timeline, but it would fit for the show's alternative. Funny you mention the MP5, because at the same event, you can briefly see German soldiers rushing the crowd with what looks like MP5s with the curved type magazines. --Surv1v4l1st (talk) 13:25, 22 November 2015 (EST)
Guns
Firstly: Thompson in the movie - M1928A1, because they have a vertical charging handle and a box-shaped rear sight. Secondly: "Remington Model 10" - it seems to Winchester M1912, as Remington M10 no has ejection port on the side. --Slon95 (talk) 09:10, 22 November 2015 (EST)
- Indeed, the Thompson used by the insurgents in the Neutral Zone is a M1928A1. The ones used by the resistance in Episode 2, I'm not so sure either way. I'd have to rewatch the episode.--Surv1v4l1st (talk) 13:22, 22 November 2015 (EST)
