'''Operation Chromite''' (or '''The Battle for Incheon: Operation Chromite''') is a 2016 Korean War film, directed by South Korean director John H. Lee (born: ''Lee Jae-han''). The film covers a fictionalized account of the espionage actions of the X-RAY team with the assistance of the Korean Liaison Office that eventually led to the successful Incheon Landings. The film is notable to Western audiences for co-starring [[Liam Neeson]], who portrays General Douglas MacArthur in the film.

Operation Chromite (2016)

Operation Chromite (or The Battle for Incheon: Operation Chromite) is a 2016 Korean War film, directed by South Korean director John H. Lee (born: Lee Jae-han). The film covers a fictionalized account of the espionage actions of the X-RAY team with the assistance of the Korean Liaison Office that eventually led to the successful Incheon Landings. The film is notable to Western audiences for co-starring Liam Neeson, who portrays General Douglas MacArthur in the film.

The film is part of a trilogy of Korean War epics produced by Taewon Entertainment, with a sequel, The Battle of Jangsari released in 2019, which covers one of the diversionary assaults made to cover for the Incheon Landings depicted in this movie.


The following weapons were used in the film Operation Chromite:


Handguns

Colt M1911A1

Members of X-RAY are provided with Colt M1911A1 handguns fitted with sound suppressors by the KLO (Korean Liaison Office) fighters for the extraction mission in the hospital. US and South Korean marines are also seen with standard-issue M1911A1 pistols during the US-South Korean joint raid on Wolmido Island.

Mauser C96 "Red 9"

The Mauser C96 "Red 9" with black grips is seen carried by Korean People's Army Commander Lim Gye-jin (Lee Beom-soo) as his personal sidearm. Notably he is only seen reloading his weapon with individual cartridges, not having once seen using stripper clips.

The pistol jams at a pivotal moment in the film's climax. Note that while the scene tries to portray the weapon clicking dry (with Gye-jin immediately trying to reload afterwards), the bolt here clearly isn't locked back indicating some kind of malfunction or misfire.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 is depicted as the standard sidearm of the KPA forces and also carried by the members of the X-RAY team while disguised as a North Korean inspection crew.

Submachine Guns

M3 Grease Gun

KLO resistance fighters, notably Kim Hwa-young (Kim Sun-a) carry M3 Grease Guns. ROK and US Marines also carry M3s during Operation Chromite.

Machine Guns

Browning M1919A4

During the escape from the hospital, the X-RAY operatives unveils a Browning M1919A4 mounted on a tripod hidden in the back of their truck. US and South Korean marines are also seen holding M1919A4s during the landing at Incheon.

Launchers

M20A1 "Super Bazooka"

A North Korean soldier is seen brandishing an M20A1 "Super Bazooka" while chasing down fleeing South Korean operatives. While it is possible that the DPRK forces could have captured and used American equipment during the opening stages of the war, the M20A1/B1 model was not introduced untill near the end of the war, making this an anachronism. American troops are also seen carrying such launchers near the end of the film.

In the climax of the film, Jang Hak-soo retrieves an M1 Garand fitted with an M7 rifle grenade launcher to fire a flare round in order to signal the US forces. Presumably the rifle was pre-loaded with blank rounds specifically to launch the flare, as it did not see conventional use before or afterwards.

In the finale of the film, X-RAY forces led by Hak-soo commandeer a North Korean SU-122 self-propelled gun to use against the North Korean artillery battery. It appears to be a mockup due to the much smaller cannon and open-top design atypical of the SU-series of tank destroyers.
