Sten Mk II

Several of the commandos bring Stens with them (some fitted with a simplified production stock), and use them often against German soldiers. Andrea Stavros (Anthony Quinn) uses a Sten gun at the beginnig of the film when a German patrol boat arrives at the patrol boat. He kills several Germans with it who climb aboard his boat and also kills several Germans with the same gun in the end gunbattle. Spyros Pappadimos (James Darren) kills several Germans and then confronts their officer (who also has a Sten gun. How the officer got one is unknown) with the Sten.

Bren gun

On the fishing boat, Pappadimos keeps a Bren gun hidden under a blanket when the German patrol boat arrives. When the Germans discover who they are, Pappadimos whips out the Bren and guns down several soldiers. The Bren is never seen after that.

MP40

The common weapon of the German Army in the film is the MP40, which is unrealistic in most films.

Mauser M1934

Spyro Papadimos is armed with a suppressed Mauser M1934, he is first seen on the quayside of Castel Rosso fitting the suppressor. When Mallory orders Maria Papadimos and Butcher Brown to steal a motor launch, Spyro hands the gun to his sister. But after she shoots the traitor Mallory takes it off her and uses it when he and Miller infiltrate the fort. Lt. Colonel Muesel (Walter Gotell) also uses a Mauser M1934 as his sidearm. After overpowering Muesel, Keith Mallory (Gregory Peck) appropriates his Mauser and uses it on some unsuspecting Germans who stop to help them and to threaten the traitor when they are revealed.
