M1 Garand

Despite being the standard-issue combat rifle for the U.S. Armed Forces during World War Two, the M1 Garand is seen scarcely throughout the movie. This is historically accurate for weapons squads, such as the one depicted in the film, would normally be issued lighter weapons such as the M1 Carbine and side arms like the 1911A1. The most notable user is Pvt. Karl Heinrich (Brian Julian), the section ammunition carrier.

Makarov PM

A Makarov PM, thrown into a river by a surrendering German Officer, is used by a German Prisoner of War (Micah Klatt) to commit suicide.
