The Iron Giant (1999)


Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun

Near the end of the film, U.S. Army vehicles (primarily M41 Walker Bulldog tanks) can be seen fitted with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns when attacking the Iron Giant (Vin Diesel), mistakenly believing he was attacking the town of Rockwell.

Browning M3 Heavy Machine Gun

In addition to the Army, the U.S. Air Force also becomes involved in the attack against the Iron Giant, sending F-86 Sabre fighter jets to try to destroy him, using missiles and built-in Browning M3 heavy machine guns to eventually shoot him down, but not destroy him.

M1903 Springfield

The M1903 Springfield are used by several U.S. military personal when they attack the Giant and most are seen when the Iron Giant attacks the Army. The soldiers also aim these guns at Kent Mansley when he tries to escape a nuclear missle. These are highly anachronistic however, since the film is set in the 1950's and the M1903 had been completely phased out by this point except in a sniper capacity, which these weapons clearly are not.

Winchester Model 70

Winchester Model 70 rifles were used by the two hunters when they killed a deer before Hogarth and the Iron Giant found them, the hunters dropping their rifles and fleeing at the sight of the Iron Giant.

BB Gun

A BB Gun was used by Hogarth Hughes in the beginning of the film while searching for the Iron Giant at the power station. It seems to be a lever-action weapon, possibly a Daisy Red Ryder. Hogarth originally tapes a flashlight to the barrel, but the flashlight dissapears when the Iron Giant crushes the weapon underfoot while following Hogarth.
