Colonia, also known as The Colony, is a 2015 movie directed by Florian Gallenberger (John Rabe). In the midst of the Chilean military coup of 1973, Lena and her boyfriend Daniel are arrested by Augusto Pinochet's secret police. While Lena is allowed to run again after a short time, Daniel is taken to the isolated Colonia Dignidad camp in the south of the country. Lena follows him and joins the sect to free him.
The following weapons were used in the film Colonia:
A few Chilean soldiers can be seen with Halcón M-57 submachine guns. Unlike the M3A1 "Grease Gun", the Halcón is only seen in one scene in the background.
Various types of FN FAL rifles are the most used weapons by the Chilean Army. In 1973, the main battle rifle of the Chilean Army was the Swiss SIG SG 510.
1909 Argentine Mauser rifles are used by Chilean troops and Paul Schäfer's (Michael Nyqvist) men. In reality, Chilean soldiers used their own M1895 Mausers as their standard bolt action rifles during this time, alongside with semi-auto M1 Garands.
Short-barreled Mauser rifles can be seen held by some soldiers. Due to the filming of this scene taking place in Buenos Aires, they are most likely Argentine M1909 Mountain carbines standing in for Chilean Mauser 1935 carbines.
