Captain America: The First Avenger is the 2011 feature film adaptation of the Marvel comic book series. Directed by Joe Johnston (The Rocketeer), the film stars Chris Evans as Steve Rogers, a young man from Brooklyn who during the Second World War, desires to join the war effort, but is rejected due to his undersized stature. When he volunteers to be part of a secret US program, he then finds himself genetically transformed into the world's first super soldier. The film is also part of the same Marvel film universe that includes Iron Man, Iron Man 2, The Incredible Hulk, and Thor and will culminate in 2012's The Avengers.
The following weapons were used in the film Captain America: The First Avenger:
The M1911A1 appears as the sidearm of the US forces in the film. Steve Rogers, aka Captain America (Chris Evans) uses one as his chief firearm during the film. Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) also uses one during a scene in which she tests Captain America's shield. Sgt. James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Stan) also wields his sidearm during the attack on the HYDRA train.
Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell) uses a Walther PPK as her sidearm in the film. She most notably wields it after Rogers is made into the Captain America, trying to shoot HYDRA spy Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage).
Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage) uses a Walther P38 during his attack on the SSR laboratory early in the film, and his subsequent escape through the streets of New York. In typical film fashion, he fires far more rounds than the pistol can hold. Another notable goof is that it does not lock empty, but simply clicks when Kruger tries to fire it.
Johann Schmidt, aka Red Skull (Hugo Weaving) uses a Luger P08 as his sidearm in the film, later on making it into an energy-based weapon. An actor portraying Hitler is seen with a Luger P08 before he's knocked out during Captain America's war bonds tour.
James Montgomery Falsworth (J. J. Feild) and Jacques Dernier (Bruno Ricci) carry Sten MkII submachine guns as their chief firearms after joining Steve Rogers's/Captain America's (Chris Evans) "Howling Commandos". Some of the energy-based HYDRA weapons also appear to be mocked-up Stens submachine guns as well.
An old woman has a M1921 Thompson submachine gun under her desk at the entrance of the SSR research facility. The woman tries to fire the Thompson at Heinz Kruger (Richard Armitage) after his attack on the facility, but is gunned down by Kruger. Kruger takes the Thompson and subsequently uses it until it runs out of ammo.
Peggy Carter (Hayley Atwell), Sgt. James "Bucky" Barnes (Sebastian Stan), and Gabe Jones (Derek Luke) as well as other American soldiers use the M1928A1 Thompson throughout the film. Captain America (Chris Evans) also has one slung over his shoulder in some scenes.
Jim Morita (Kenneth Choi), one of the "Howling Commandos", uses a M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun" as his primary firearm throughout the film. A US soldier is also seen with an M3 during the final attack on the HYDRA base.
Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) uses an M1 Garand during his training for the super soldier test. Several American soldiers also carry and use the M1 Garand during battle scenes.
Timothy "Dum Dum" Dugan (Neal McDonough), one of Captain America's "Howling Commandos" carries a Winchester Model 1897 "Trench" gun as his primary firearm throughout the film. Colonel Chester Phillips (Tommy Lee Jones) also carries one during the the final battle at the HYDRA base.
Gabe Jones (Derek Luke), one of Captain America's "Howling Commandos" carries a Browning M1919A4 machine gun freehand as his primary firearm of choice.
