Defiance (2008)

Defiance is a 2008 war film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as brothers who decide to take the fight to the Nazi's during the occupation of Poland during World War II. Directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai), it should be noted that many of the World War II-era weapons in the film appear to be mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame. However, it is a rare occurrence to see any of these famous weapons in such pristine condition.

The following weapons were used in the movie Defiance:


12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

Zus (Liev Schreiber) keeps a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun for protection and uses it when he goes into town seeking vengeance. He takes two rounds to down his first victim, and hits another in the chest, just wounding him, which suggests he is using either birdshot or another less powerful round. It also has exposed hammers.
