Wonder Woman is the 2017 feature film adaptation of the popular DC Comics series of the same name. Gal Gadot stars as Diana, an Amazonian demigod and daughter of Zeus previously introduced in 2016's Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice who finds herself leaving her home and experiencing the outside world when she meets Steve Trevor (Chris Pine), an American intelligence officer in the U.S. Army Air Corps. The majority of the film takes place during the First World War with bookends set in the modern day. It was originally intended to take place in the Second World War, like the original comics, but was altered to the First World War midway through writing to avoid accusations of copying Captain America: The First Avenger. Directed by Patty Jenkins (Monster) and produced by Zack Snyder, Wonder Woman is also part of the DC Extended Universe, which includes Man of Steel, Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, Suicide Squad and Justice League. Gadot would return in the 2020 sequel Wonder Woman 1984.
The following weapons were used in the film Wonder Woman:
The mainstay rifle for the German Army for World War One, the Mauser Gewehr 1898 is seen in the hands of German troops who engage Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot). The rifles are seen both with and without bayonets. A German sniper is also seen with a scoped Gewehr 98. One is also seen in the hands of Steve Trevor (Chris Pine).
A scoped M1917 Enfield is used by Charlie (Ewen Bremner). It can be distinguished as an M1917, rather than a .303 P14 Enfield, by the longer grasping grooves on the stock.
Turkish soldiers at the weapon factory are armed with post-war Turkish Mauser 1903/30 rifles standing for the WWI variant. Some German soldiers of the SMS Möwe landing party can also be seen with this Mauser.
A Winchester Model 1866 "Yellow Boy" is carried by Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock). Note the brass studs hammered into the buttstock. This is an accurate cultural affectation for these rifles by Native Americans.
German troops use Maxim MG08/15 machine guns in trench warfare. It is also seen mounted on a German Ehrhardt E-V/4 armoured car which is unusual because the Ehrhardt was armed with Maxim MG08s.
Lewis Guns appear both dismounted in the hands of British soldiers (including the one portrayed by Zack Snyder in a cameo) and mounted in British Mk IV "Male" tanks. A Mk IV tank with "Iron Cross" markings can be seen at the German base during the finale, which is actually somewhat accurate as a number of British tanks of various marks were captured and used by the Germans during WWI. The Mk IV tanks in the film lack the unditching beam and rails, which is incorrect as all Mk IV tanks deployed to the Western Front were fitted with these (however training tanks and tanks deployed to the Middle East did omit this system).
A Wechselapparat M1917 is briefly seen as Steve Trevor prepares to go over the top from a German trench.

Wechselapparat in German means "exchange apparatus", referring to how the nitrogen propellant gas in the spherical central tank is exchanged to the larger doughnut-shaped fuel tank, pumping out the fuel.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe "Wex" in the background.
A bundle of Model 15 Stielhandgranates attached to a tomahawk is thrown by Chief Napi (Eugene Brave Rock). Ares also uses his powers to throw an entire crate of these grenades at Wonder Woman in the final battle.
After capturing a German plane, Steve tosses a Wurfgranate 15 grenade into the weapon factory. Although originally intended for spigot mortars such as the Granatenwerfer 16, Wurfgranates were actually carried by German pilots for aerial bombing. However, in this role they were generally carried nose up in a rack secured by the safety pin in the fuse as opposed to nose down in bins as portrayed here (although this is the method by which Stielhandgranate were carried in the same role).

The grenades are seen on the right.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe grenade falls into the factory. In reality, the Wurfgranate 15 is fitted with an impact fuse, not a time fuse, meaning that the grenade should have detonated immediately upon hitting the ground. In fact, the impact fuse was incredibly sensitive so would more likely have detonated when it hit the glass ceiling of the factory.
