H.M. Deserters (C.K. Dezerterzy) is a 1986 Polish-Hungarian WWI comedy, directed by Janusz Majewski. It depicts the misadventures of a multinational quintet of Austro-Hungarian soldiers in 1918. A sequel was released in 1998.
The following weapons were used in the film H.M. Deserters (C.K. Dezerterzy):
During the conflict between Lt. von Nogay (Wojciech Pokora) and Capt. Wagner (Zbigniew Zapasiewicz), the latter draws a Steyr M1912. A Steyr pistol is also used by the gendarmes Sergeant (Leon Niemczyk), whom Kania (Marek Kondrat) disarms.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
While Steyr Mannlicher M1895 rifles would be correct for Austro-Hungarian military, the soldiers carry Mauser rifles of many models. Most of these rifles are anachronistic Karabiner 98ks. Some of 98k rifles appear to be "Kriegsmodell" version.
A number of rifles are Karabiner 98k with straight bolt handles. These are probably rework rifles, fitted with Gewehr 98 or vz.24 bolts.
Unidentified Mauser Rifle
Machine Guns
Unidentified machine gun
In the final scene, the German squad has a pair of machine guns. They are seen very briefly and unclearly. Due to the shape of the mountings, they can be identified as either the Schwarzlose Machine Gun Model 07/12 or Maxim MG08.
