Tracker is a 2010 British-New Zealand action movie directed by Ian Sharp. In 1903 Arjan van Diemen (Ray Winstone), a Boers commando leader of the Second Boer War, emigrates from South Africa to New Zealand. When a posse is gathered to pursue a Maori named Kereama (Temuera Morrison) who was falsely accused in murder of a British soldier, Major Carlysle, a British veteran of the Boer War who personally knows van Diemen as a master tracker, hires him. Having developed sympathy for Kereama, van Diemen decides to help the Maori.


The following weapons were used in the film Tracker:

Rifles

Sporterized Mauser 1893 or 1895

Arjan van Diemen (Ray Winstone) carries a sporterized Mauser rifle that is based on 1893 or 1895 models, judging by the close-ups of the bolt and the rear sight (see talk page for additional info).

Martini-Enfield Artillery Carbine

The local tracker Bryce (Andy Anderson), Sgt. Maj. Saunders (Mark Mitchinson), Sgt. Leybourne (Mick Rose), and several soldiers are armed with Martini-Enfield Artillery carbines. The carbines are loaded with .303 British cartridges with spitzer bullets that were adopted only in 1910. Martini-Enfield rifles were common weapons of Australian and New Zealand troops in the first decade of 20th century.

Martini-Enfield Carbine (New Zealand)

Another kind of Martini-Enfield carbine is also used by a number of soldiers. This model is known among the gun collectors as "Martini-Enfield Carbine (New Zealand Local Pattern)". In early 1910s no less than a thousand Martini Enfield full length rifles were converted to carbines by local armourers for the New Zealand Cadet Force. These carbines look similar to purposely build BSA Martini Cadet rifles but have shorter barrels and differently placed barrel bands.

Mauser (Carl Gustaf) M1896/38

One of the soldiers, returned from South Africa to New Zealand, carries a Mauser short rifle. It appears to be a Swedish Carl Gustaf M1896/38, judging by the barrel length, the shape of the barrel bands and the bayonet lug, and the grasping grooves on the handguard. Possibly this rifle is intended to represent a somewhat similar looking Mauser 1895 short rifle that was used by the Boers and could be captured by Britains.
