Mutant Chronicles (2009)

The Following guns appeared in the film:


Fantasy 'Wheel lock style' Rifle

In keeping with the 'Steam punk' style of the film's technology (of the year 2207 AD) a lot of the soldiers look like a mish mash of World War 1 soldiers with mixed European gear and a very bulky fantasy rifle that looks like it has a 'wheel lock' looking mechanism in the middle.

A nice closeup of the 'wheel lock design' of the side of the rifle. Of course it's NOT a Wheel lock, but the "Steam punk" design is evocative of the classic Wheel lock mechanism.

SMLE

One of the soldiers in the trench in the beginning has an Short Magazine Lee Enfield (No1Mk.III) with a bayonet just before he is blown up by a mortar round.

MAC-11

Early on Lt. Maximillian von Steiner (Benno Fürmann) aims a highly modified MAC-11 pistol at Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane). Though it is decorated with science fiction add ons, it is clearly a MAC-11 as the base pistol.

Mauser Rifle

Heavily modified Mauser rifles are disguised as future weapons, however, the receivers and bolts are clearly visible. Most notably carried by Cpl. Valerie Duval (Devon Aoki) and Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane)

Remington 870

A heavily modified Remington 870 shotgun is used by one of the soldiers in the film.

Fictional pistol

Major characters appear to hold a heavily customized pistol. It's hard to say if it is based on a real live firing pistol design since the gun fire seems to be all CGI and not blank fire in the film.

these last two images, my best guess is that the pistol is a heavily modified colt 1911 or 1911 clone.

Turkey Baster Gun

The forces of Balhaus seem to carry a heavily modified gun, could be an M3 Grease Gun, however, the final result is a 'turkey baster' looking firearm.

Medieval English Sword

  • Any sword experts here? Help me out.
I'm no expert but I think that may be a longsword --AdAstra2009 03:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, looks to be around the right size. Longsword's a two-handed grip and a blade > 35in, I think.

i dont think its a long sword not a big enough grip

    Long swords are one handed swords. It's probably a bastard sword.

A lineup of the cast with their Medievel English style Swords. Cast from left to right: Lt. Maximillian von Steiner (Benno Fürmann), Cpl. Valerie Duval (Devon Aoki),Brother Samuel (Ron Perlman),Severian (Anna Walton),Cpl. Jesus 'El Jesus' de Barrera (Luis Echegaray),and Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane).

I´ve seen the film a couple of times, and i´d swear that those are one-handed longswords. The fact is that actors that don´t have sword training usually wields them as if they were 'bastard' swords. Bastard is a term coined in the XIX century to name what is today called a Hand and a half sword, that is, swords with a long enough pommel to be used one or two handed. That type of sword have a blade between 105-115 cm long, and the swords in the film are clearly shorter, about 85-90, a length usual for a one-handed longsword.
