Company of Heroes is the 2013 World War II film inspired by the videogame of the same name. The film focuses on a platoon of US Army soldiers who find themselves behind enemy lines in the Ardennes forest in 1944. After engaging enemy forces, the men find that Germany is devising a secret superweapon and resolve to retrieve the bomb for the Allies. The film stars Chad Michael Collins, Neal McDonough, Vinnie Jones, and Tom Sizemore.
The following weapons were used in the film Company of Heroes (2013):
The Gewehr 43 is used by Nate (Chad Michael Collins) as a sniper rifle. Being a german weapon, it is however likely to be captured and used by American GIs. It is also notable that the rifle is missing the front sight, and during one of the battles Nate even works the charging handle like a bolt action rifle instead.
Lee-Enfield No 4 Mk 1*
Despite the fact that M1 Garand was the main rifle carried by US troops during World War II, the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1* is the rifle seen carried by the majority of the US troops in the film. Also since none of the US forces have Garands, we constantly hear the familiar "ping" sound during battle scenes.
The Browning M2 Aircraft heavy machine gun appears in the film as the primary armament of U.S. aircraft, specifically the P-51 Mustangs and the B-17 Flying Fortresses.
M9 "Bazooka"
Nate is using an M9 bazooka as well. Because the film takes place in late 1944, the weapon would not be anachronistic.
Axis Weapons
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is carried by German officers in the film. The pistol also is used by Nate and Kestrel (Melia Kreiling).
Mauser Karabiner 98k
The Mauser Karabiner 98k is the rifle carried by German troops in the film.
Karabiner 98 Sniper
The Kar98's scoped sniper variant is used by a German sniper at the film's beginning.
MP40
The MP40 is used by German troops as well as the men in the film.
MG42
The MG42 is seen mounted on a German truck during the film's final chase.
