Shining Through
The following firearms were used in the film Shining Through:
Walther P38
Several German officers carry a Walther P38 in their holsters. At the end of the film, Ed Leland (Michael Douglas) uses a Walther P38 to kill a German officer and a German soldier when he runs towards the German border (he manages to fire 15 shots from his 8-shot Walther).
Walther PPK
Margrete von Eberstein (Joely Richardson) uses a Walther PPK to shoot Voss twice at the end of the film. Wounded, Voss takes the PPK and shoots Eberstein in the head.
Luger P08
Franz Otto Deitrich (Liam Neeson) is seen loading a Luger P08 when he suspects Linda Voss (Melanie Griffith) of being an Allied spy.
Mauser K98K
Mauser K98Ks are the most common German infantry weapon in the film, which is accurate. A German soldier uses a Mauser rifle to wound Leland in the knee and the shoulder at the end of the movie when he struggles to get to the Swiss-German border.
Schmidt Rubin Model 1911 Rifle
The Schmidt Rubin Model 1911 Rifle is used by the Swiss border guards. It can be identified in these pics as a 1911-pattern rifle by the length of the receiver and the position of the receiver opening. It is not clear whether this is a 96/11 or a 1911.
MP40
The MP40 is very briefly seen by some German soldiers, and is not as common in the film as the Mauser K98K.
