Fury is a 2014 World War II film starring Brad Pitt as a US Army tank commander fighting during the closing months of the war in Europe. The film was directed by David Ayer and the cast includes Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, and Shia LaBeouf. The film's production went to great lengths to provide accurate weaponry and armor for the period, including utilizing the only working Tiger tank left in existence.
The following weapons were used in the film Fury (2014):
The Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver with custom pexiglass "sweetheart" grips is seen carried by Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt). He is notably seen forcing the revolver into the hand of Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman).

Also note the S&W style cylinder release latch and half-moon front sight. These are the most easily distinguishable external differences between the Colt and S&W versions.Error creating thumbnail: File missingStaff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) with his revolver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWardaddy forcing the revolver into the hand of Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman), cocking the hammer in the process.
Colt M1911A1
The M1911A1 is seen carried by some of the crew of the Fury, including Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf).
The Sturmgewehr 44 was the first such rifle to be termed an "assault rifle" and was introduced by the German army late in the war. This is the weapon carried by Wardaddy (Brad Pitt), likely commandeered from a German soldier. The rifle starts in the film missing its front sight hood, but with it in every scene afterwards. Several German SS troops in the end uses the Sturmgewhr 44 as well with Bible (Shia LaBeouf) acquiring one temporarily.
The Browning Automatic Rifle, or 'B.A.R' was the standard Squad Automatic Weapon for U.S. rifle squads in WWII and is seen used by American troops in the film.
The Browning M1919A4 .30 caliber machine gun is shown mounted on the Fury, the M4 Sherman tank. The Fury also mounts two more M1919's; one in a coaxial mount next to the M1A1C 76mm main gun, and another mounted in the bow of the hull. Note that having two machine guns atop the turret is very unusual for Shermans; they usually either mounted an M1919 or a Browning M2HB as mentioned below.
In the script, it is specified that the SS officer seen on horseback in the beginning of the film attempted to go for his Luger pistol. It is not seen in the film.
