Unidentified Firearms

Screenshots added. Have at 'em. Note that most of the scenes featuring guns weren't actually shot in Italy or Sicily. So the "Italian" soldiers and cops are probably using American guns. - Kooshmeister

Farmer's Rifle/Shotgun

Confronting the Ymir in his barn, a Sicilian farmer grabs a double-barreled shotgun or rifle.

Police Guns

The local Sicilian police officers wield automatic rifles of some sort. During the confrontation with the Ymir in the farmer's barn, Colonel Calder (William Hopper) uses one of these.

Charra calls his flamethrower-wielding man up, revolver in hand.


Various Guns

United States Marines (or what are supposed to be Marines, in-story) bail out of Calder's helicopter when it lands to capture the Ymir. They carry a multitude of weapons. The shot of them actually exiting the helicopter appears to be wartime stock footage.

Nice work Kooshmeister

But try to stem back the sarcastic commentary. We've gone on a crusade to excise IMFDB of all of that. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 19:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I apologize, I just sometimes try and inject a little too much goofiness I guess. - Kooshmeister

Id'ing guns

If you take a look at the Band of Brothers page, that should help you id some of the rifles. --Ben41 00:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)
