X-Men: First Class
X-Men: First Class is the fifth film in the X-Men film franchise. Set primarily in October 1962, during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the 2011 prequel was directed by Matthew Vaughn and examines the beginning of the friendship between Charles Xavier (who would become Professor X) and Erik Lehnserr (who would become Magneto).
The following weapons were used in the film X-Men: First Class:
Handguns
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is used by Dr. Klaus Schmidt while testing Erik Lehnsherr's powers during the 1944 flahback. Later, a former SS soldier holds one on Erik, who then kills him and uses the gun to finish off the remaining officer.
M1911A1
Charles Xavier uses a M1911A1 pistol when training with Erik. Erik is later seen holding it when he and some of the students watch President Kennedy's address. A Division X agent fires one at Sebastian Shaw (Kevin Bacon) during the Hellfire Club's assault.
Tokarev TT-33
The Soviet General pulls a Tokarev TT-33 on Erik and Charles during the confrontation. Another is seen in the hands of a soldier on the Soviet battleship.
Walther PPK
Moria MacTaggert (Rose Byrne) uses a Walther PPK near the end of the film.
Submachine Guns
Hotchkiss "Type Universal"
Two Division X guards are seen with Hotchkiss "Type Universal" submachine guns during the Hellfire Club's assault.
Madsen M50
Division X guards use Madsen M50 submachine guns during the raid on Shaw's boat and when the Hellfire Club assault on Division X.
MP40
SS Guards are seen with MP40 submachine guns during the 1944 flashback.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912
A Winchester Model 1912 is seen carried by the prison guards that escort Charles Xavier (James McAvoy) and Erik Lehnsherr (Michael Fassbender).
Rifles
AK-47
Soviet border guards and the General's palace guards are armed with AK-47s.
CAR-15
Soldiers accompanying Charles, Erik, and Moria to the Soviet General's palace are armed with CAR-15 assault rifles. Which would be anachronistic because Car-15s were not invented with the configurations of the telescopic stock until the late 60s. There were however prototypes of early CAR-15s in the early 60s, but they did not look like the ones in the movie. The CAR-15s in the film were chopped and built up from Colt Sporters, much like the ones used in Stargate: SG1.
Karabiner 98k
SS Soldiers are seen with Karabiner 98k rifles during the 1944 flashback.
M1 Garand
American GI's are seen with M1 Garands during the aftermath of the assault on Division X.
M16 Rifle
American soldiers aboard the Naval Blockade are armed with M16 Rifles. Since this movie took place during the Cuban missile Crisis in 1962, this rifle, like the CAR-15, this is an anachronism because M16s were not issued to US military en mass until the onset of the Vietnam war.
Machine Guns
MG-42
A MG42 is seen being manned by a soldier in a machine gun nest during the 1944 flashback.
Explosives
M72 LAW
A Division X agent is briefly seen firing a M72 LAW at Sebastian Shaw during the Hellfire Club's assault. The weapon is anachronistic as the weapon was not produced until 1963.
Mk2 Hand Grenade
Co. Hendry (Glenn Morshower) brings a Mk 2 hand grenade aboard Sebastian Shaw's yacht. However, Shaw snatches the grenade from Hendry and absorbs the grenade blast.
