Life of Crime
Life of Crime is the 2013 comedy crime film that focuses two small time criminals who decide to kidnap the wife of a wealthy businessman, not knowing that he was in the midst of divorcing her. The film was an adaptation of the 1978 Elmore Leonard novel The Switch. Two of the characters from this book would later be featured in Elmore Leonard's later novel Rum Punch, which was already adapted in Quentin Tarantino's 1996 film Jackie Brown.
The following weapons were used in the film Life of Crime:
Handguns
Colt M1911A1
The M1911A1 is the pistol carried by Ordell Robbie (Yasiin Bey) during the kidnapping.
Rifles
M1 Garand
Standard issue rifle of the US military during WWII, many of Easy Company's paratroopers are shown carrying the M1 Garand as their standard weapon. Most notable are Lieutenant (Later Captain/Major) Richard "Dick" Winters (Damian Lewis), Shifty Powers (Peter Youngblood Hills) and Joseph Liebgott (Ross McCall) and Patrick O'Keefe (Matt Hickey). The Garand can be seen with and without a bayonet.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is carried by 2nd Lt. Henry Jones (Colin Hanks) in the episode "The Last Patrol" (Ep.8). It is also seen carried by several US marines fighting in Okinawa in newsreel footage.
Karabiner 98k
The main battle rifle for the German forces is the Karabiner 98k. Lt. Winters uses a captured K98k when he looses his M1 Garand on D-Day, in "Day of Days" (Ep.2). A German sniper is also seen using a scoped K98k against advancing Easy Company men during the battle of Foy in the episode "The Breaking Point" (Ep.7).
Submachine Guns
MP40
The MP40 was the most common submachine gun used by the German Army during WWII. Popular culture has portrayed the MP40 as the most common weapon in the hands of WW2 German soldiers; this is actually incorrect, as the bolt-action Kar 98 was more common. This is correctly depicted in the show, not being put in the hands over every German soldier. In "Day of Days" (Ep.2), Sgt. Carwood Lipton captures one and caries it briefly in the episode.
