Duck! You Sucker! is a 1971 Western directed by Sergio Leone and starring James Coburn as a fugitive Irish explosives expert who escapes to Mexico to only find himself mixed up in another revolution. This film was released in the US under the title "Duck, You Sucker!", which is the literal English translation of the Italian title. However, it was subsequently re-released under the title A Fistful of Dynamite in order to capitalize on Leone's previous films. MGM would later release the film on DVD under the original title.



The following weapons were used in the film Duck, You Sucker! aka A Fistful of Dynamite:

Mauser M43

Mexican troops can be seen carrying Spanish Mauser M1943 rifles throughout the film, likely as it was filmed in Spain. The M43 is likely meant to stand in for the Steyr-made M1912 short rifle used during the Mexican revolution.
