Defiance is a 2008 war film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as brothers who decide to take the fight to the Nazi's during the occupation of Poland during World War II. Directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai), it should be noted that many of the World War II-era weapons in the film appear to be mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame. However, it is a rare occurrence to see any of these famous weapons in such pristine condition.
The following weapons were used in the movie Defiance
Zus (Liev Schreiber) keeps a double barrelled shotgun for protection and uses it when he goes into town seeking vengance. He takes two rounds to down his first victim, and hits another in the chest, just wounding him, which suggests he is using either birdshot or another less powerful round. It also has exposed hammers.
Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig) and his brother Zus (Liev Schreiber) carry captured MP40 machine guns. Numerous Germans are equipped with the MP40 machine gun.
Tuvia (Daniel Craig) uses a Walther P38 as his sidearm. He gives it to Lilka (Alexa Davalos) to protect herself during her food mission. Asael also uses one to kill one German.
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is used by the Red Army soldiers and the Bielski partisans. During the Nazi attack led by the milkman who gave the Nazi directions, the MP40 carried by Zus turns into a Mosin Nagant rifle when he shoots the milkman's arm.
At the end of the film, a German machine gunner team is setting their MG34, mounting it on a tripod, but Tuvia (Daniel Craig) takes them out by behind and uses the machine gun against the German infantry. The tank which he shoots at, also has a MG34. Earlier, during the Red Army ambush, a German soldier shoots it from the truck.
During the Soviet ambush, Zus uses a Tokarev TT-33 to execute a German officer and a soldier. Near the end of the film, he shoots the tank commander with the Tokarev. Lilka's side arm is also a TT-33.
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate is a German grenade, but it is only seen used by the Bielski partisans during the film. Zus throws one under a German truck during the Red Army ambush and later throws one into a German tank. Near the end of the film, Isaac (Mark Feuerstein) attacks German soldiers with a bag of grenades.
