Karabiner 98k

Most of the German rifles seen in the trench are the anachronistic, WW2 model Karabiner 98k. They are used by Pte. Charlie Shakespeare (Jamie Bell) and Corporal 'Doc' Fairweather (Matthew Rhys). Shakespeare also gives one to German prisoner Friedrich (Torben Liebrecht) to defend himself.

Mauser Gewehr 1898

The German soldier Friedrich (Torben Liebrecht) uses a Mauser Gewehr 1898 to hold Pte. Charlie Shakespeare (Jamie Bell) at gunpoint at the end of the film. The historically accurate Gewehr 1898 is only used in this part and at the beginning; the rest of the Mauser rifles are the historically anachronistic Karabiner 98k.

Submachine Guns

Bergmann MP18

A Bergmann MP18 is wielded by Jamie Bell as Pte. Charlie Shakespeare in one scene. It is a common misconception that the MP18 wasn't introduced until 1918 with the Ludendorff offensive. However, this is not the case as there are reports that it arrived on the battlefield (albeit in small numbers) as early as 1916. It would, however, have more likely used a "snail drum" magazine as opposed to the 20 round box one used in the film.
