X-Men: First Class (2011)

X-Men: First Class is the fifth film in the X-Men film franchise. Set primarily in October 1962, during the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, the 2011 prequel was directed by Matthew Vaughn and examines the beginning of the friendship between Charles Xavier (who would become Professor X) and Erik Lehnserr (who would become Magneto).

The following weapons were used in the film X-Men: First Class:


Handguns

Luger P08

A Luger P08 is used by Dr. Klaus Schmidt while testing Erik Lehnsherr's powers during the 1944 flahback. Later, a former SS soldier holds one on Erik, who then kills him and uses the gun to finish off the remaining officer.

CAR-15

Soldiers accompanying Charles, Erik, and Moria to the Soviet General's palace are armed with CAR-15 assault rifles. Which would be anachronistic because Car-15s were not invented with the configurations of the telescopic stock until the late 60s. There were however prototypes of early CAR-15s in the early 60s, but they did not look like the ones in the movie. The CAR-15s in the film were chopped and built up from Colt Sporters, much like the ones used in Stargate: SG1.

M16 Rifle

American soldiers aboard the Naval Blockade are armed with M16 Rifles. Since this movie took place during the Cuban missile Crisis in 1962, this rifle, like the CAR-15, this is an anachronism because M16s were not issued to US military en mass until the onset of the Vietnam war.

Explosives

M72 LAW

A Division X agent is briefly seen firing a M72 LAW at Sebastian Shaw during the Hellfire Club's assault. The weapon is anachronistic as the weapon was not produced until 1963.
