This film should not be confused with the 1978 film of a similar title, The Inglorious Bastards. The firearms seen in the upcoming World War II Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Basterds include the following:

M1 Garand

M1 Garands were seen slung over the shoulders of the Basterds when first assembled, but never used throughout the film. They were also seen in the movie within the movie Nation's Pride.

Mauser Karabiner 98k

Karabiner 98ks were seen used by German soldiers and the Basterds. Fredrick Zoller (Daniel Brühl) uses one when playing himself in Nation's Pride and can be seen holding it on the poster. The film-within-a-film "Nation's Pride", presumably made as Nazi propaganda, appears to have been edited to make Zoller's Karabiner 98k appear to fire semi-automatic shots rather than bolt-action.

MP40

Germans and Basterds, such as S/Sgt. Donny Donowitz (Eli Roth), Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger), and PFC Omar Ulmer (Omar Doom), use MP40s throughout the entire movie. Wilhelm (Alexander Fehling), a German soldier, uses an MP40 during the "Mexican standoff" with Aldo.

MG42

The MG42 was seen held by Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger). In the first trailer, we see one of the Basterds running down a hallway, firing an MG42, but it was never seen in the final cut.

Walther PPK

British Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender), disguised as an SS Captain, points his Walther PPK at Major Dieter Hellstrom of the Gestapo. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger) also holds a PPK on him, resulting in a firefight in a tavern. Bridget (Diane Kruger) later picks up this gun and uses it.

Walther P38

SD Col. Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz), Gestapo Maj. Hellstrom (August Diehl) and several other German officers carry Walther P38 pistols. At the end, Landa hands his to Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt), who fires it himself.

Major Dieter Hellstrom (August Diehl): Did you hear that? That was the sound of my Walther. Pointed right at your at your testicles. Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender): Why do you have your Walther pointed at my testicles? Major Dieter Hellstrom (August Diehl): Because you've just given yourself away, Capitan. [...] Lt. Archie Hicox (Michael Fassbender): I was saying that makes two of us. I've had a gun pointed at your balls since you sat down. Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger): That makes three of us. And at this range, I'm a real Frederick Zoller.

Unless those were rounds from other firearms (which is doubtful, since the rounds aimed at him are from an angle and not perpendicular to the table), there is no way the shotgun was able to spread the pellets that much at that close of range.

Unknown sawed-off O/U shotgun

When the bastards break Hugo Stiglitz out of prison in the hopes of him joining their ranks, one of the bastards can be seen holding a shotgun sawed down to the length of large handgun/small carbine. This shotgun appeared so brief and no close ups, that only a promotional photo of Eli Roth holding it can confirm what it is.

OSS Pistol Glove

Donny (Eli Roth) and Omar (Omar Doom) each use a short-range OSS pistol glove when assassinating the German high command. In real life these weapons were loaded with a .38 round and as seen in the film were punched into their target.

Schutzstaffel Dagger

An SS dagger is seen being sharpened by Hugo Stiglitz (Til Schweiger) while the basterds wait for Bridget von Hammersmark's rendezvous, and at the end of the film Hans Landa hands his dagger over to Aldo Raine.
