Revision as of 10:02, 25 May 2008
The following guns were used in the movie Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull
Webley Mk VI
M1 Garand
(could possible be M14 as the movie is set in 1957 and the M14 started production in 1957)
M1 Carbine
M1919A4/A6?
Seen in screen capture, has a conical muzzle added to it so i'm guessing its a vismod to make it seem more Soviet.
The M1919A6(converted for field use) had a stock, bipod and cone shaped flash hider, But as this modification was extremely clumsy and heavy, US Troops often discarded the stock and bipod therfore returning to the M1919A4.
Its possible this weapon could be a 'captured example' from WW2/Korea? used by the Soviets prior to the PK machine gun?, Im not trying to convice anyone but its just a thought.
AK-47
At least one screenshot from the movie shows Russian soldiers armed with Type III AK-47 assault rifles (which would have been standard-issue in the Red Army in 1957).
RPG-7
A Chinese Type 69 copy of the RPG-7 is seen in a poster for the film, and is fired by Indy in the trailer. This is not historically accurate, as the movie is set in 1957, and the RPG-7 was not adopted by the Soviet Union until 1961.
RPG-2
Seen in screen capture of film.
It really looked to me like it was an RPG-7; it had the big conical backblast reducer at the end. I realize it's not historically accurate (since, as I say above, the RPG-7 was not in the Soviet inventory until 1961, four years after this movie takes place), but then again, the Indiana Jones movies have an atrocious record on historical accuracy when it comes to firearms (i.e. in the first three movies, which take place in 1936-37, the Nazis use MP40s and P-38s).
>to above< Yeah you may be right but I was judging by the grenade/rocket on it which is not diamond shaped so I'm guessing they meant it to be an RPG-2.
Tokarev TT-33
Carried by Red Army officers and KGB agents
Thompson M1928
Seen in the hands of the Russians disgusied as US Army soldiers at the beginning of the film.
