I believe the "shotgun" is actually a double rifle.--Alowe56 22:45, 1 December 2010 (UTC)

This isn't actually a continuity error since CSM Williams handed Private Williams his Martini-Henry with a bayonet in between scenes. The rifle CSM Williams wasn't his anyway, it was just one he picked up. --Funkychinaman 16:24, 21 July 2012 (CDT)

It is also worth noting that the bayonets missing on the Martini-Henry rifles might not be anachronistic as the early versions of that rifle had issues with casings sticking inside the chamber when the weapons were fired rapidly, and the way that they "fixed" this in the field was to use their bayonets to pry the casings out. Though I doubt that this was the reason some or the bayonets were missing in the film, it is something that has a real world reason for the bayonets to not be there.

C.S.M. Williams (Bob Hoskins) saves his son in law Pte. Williams (Dai Bradley), note the private has a rifle with no bayonet fitted.

Seconds later it becomes a carbine with a rather floppy looking bayonet!
