The Battle of Jangsari (also known as Jangsari: Forgotten Heroes) is a 2019 South Korean action war film directed by Kwak Kyung-taek and Kim Tae-hoon. The film is the second installment of a trilogy of Korean War epics produced by Taewon Entertainment, the first being Operation Chromite (2016). The film tells the story of 772 student-soldiers and South Korean Army cadres deployed to the Jangsari coast as one of many diversionary assaults covering for the Incheon Landings. Meanwhile, an American reporter named Maggie (Megan Fox) comes across information of the impossible mission being undertaken by the students and determines to help them in any way she can.
The following weapons were used in the film The Battle of Jangsari:
The Tokarev TT-33 is seen as the standard sidearm of KPA officers. NCOs of the ROK Army are seen using captured TT-33s when disguised as KPA officers.

Lee Myung-joon (Kim Myung-min) pulls his captured TT-33 pistol out and takes aim. He adopts a low, double-handed grip, which is odd for the time period as soldiers are usually trained to fire sidearms one-handed.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe other side of the pistol. Note the fine serrations on the slide making this a post-WWII manufactured model. Also the hammer is cocked back, which is correct for a single-action pistol like the TT-33.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA fallen First Sergeant Ryu Tae-seok (Kim In-kwon) still grips his TT-33 pistol.
Submachine Guns
M3 Grease Gun
ROK Army cadres and student-soldiers are seen using M3 Grease Guns.
North Korean troops use Mosin Nagant M1891s as their standard rifle. Student-soldiers of the South Korean forces are also seen with these rifles, presumably being re-issued enemy firearms. Several Mosin Nagant M38 Carbines are also seen among both North and South Korean troops.
KPA troops are seen using Degtyaryov DP-28 light machine guns. ROK troops and student-soldiers also use captured DP-28s when defending their positions at Jangsari.
An M15 anti-tank mine is discovered by the student-soldiers after an Allied bombing dislodges it from the top of a cliff, presumably planted by the North Korean forces first. They eventually recover it and later use it in an ambush.
Several S-Mines are seen planted all over the Jangsari beach by the North Korean forces. Oddly, they behave like contact mines, detonating almost immediately after being tripped with an upwards directional blast, which is not how the S-Mine normally operates.
