At the beginning of the film, a young British soldier named Mike Clarkson (Todd MacDonald) also had a Lee-Enfield rifle, but he died before he could use it.

[[Karabiner 98k]] rifles are used by German soldiers to attack Allied soldiers during both attacks. These Kar98ks seem to be early variants with grasping grooves and hooded front sights.

A German sniper uses a [[Karabiner 98k|Karabiner 98k sniper rifle]] to kill Marty Williams (Simon Westaway) and Leroux ([[Michael Massee]]).
Sergeant-major Tambul ([[Robert Wisdon]]) of the Sudanese Army carries Lee Enfield with bayonet.

==Gewehr 43==
==Mauser Rifles==
While [[Gewehr 43]] is not really used in the movie, at least one of the soldiers is carrying it. The appearance of this gun is an anachronism: action takes place in 1942, while Gewehr was not manufactured until 1943 (no brainer).
Various Mauser rifles with flat tangent sights are used by German soldiers.

==Browning M1919A4==
Dismounted from the tank, a [[Browning M1919A4]] contributed a lot in the fight against the Germans. While mostly used by Tambul ([[Robert Wisdom]]), it is later used by M/Sgt. Gunn ([[James Belushi]]). Gunn uses it in its anti-aircraft role mounted on the turret to shoot down a German aircraft at the beginning of the film.

==MP40==
==Bren Mk I==
Many German soldiers carry [[MP40]]. Some are later collected by the Allies to replenish their firepower.  
The [[Bren gun|Bren light machine gun]] is carried by two British soldiers—Casey ([[William Upjohn]]) and Marty Williams (Simon Westaway)—who use them against German soldiers. After they die, one of the Brens is used by Bates ([[Alan David Lee]]) to repel the second German attack. The Bren was the British army's main light machine gun in WW2.

==MG 42==
==MG34==
Germans have few [[MG-42]]s. One is later unmounted from the half-track by the Allies and used against Germans.
The [[MG34]] is used by German soldiers during both attacks. Near the end of the film, Bates ([[Alan David Lee]]) is seen holding this gun but doesn't fire it.
