Lisztomania is a surrealist 1975 movie directed by Ken Russell. It tells a fictitious story showing Hungarian composer Franz Liszt (Roger Daltrey), who spends years like a rock star, until he decides to compose religious music for the Catholic church. He is ultimately commanded by the Pope (Ringo Starr) to excorcise evil German composer Richard Wagner (Paul Nicholas), who plans to make Germany conquer the world by means of his music.

The following weapons were used in the film Lisztomania:

Unidentified Rifle #1

As Franz Liszt mourns over the failure of the Hungarian Revolution of 1848/49 and his inability to contribute to it through his music, in one scene several dead Austrian soldiers are shown next to their rifles.

Short Barreled Flintlock Pistol

Just as Liszt intends to leave for the Pope's mission, Olga Janina (Nell Campbell) threatens to shoot him with a short-barreled Flintlock Pistol. As Liszt is in fact leaving, Janina fires the pistol, but obviously misses.

Guitar Machine Gun

Richard Wagner presents a mixture between an electric guitar and a machine gun to his fellow "Wagner youth" children. Later, after Wagner has been killed by Liszt, a zombified mixture of Wagner and Adolf Hitler arises from the grave, holding the Guitar Machine Gun in his hands. The weapon is used to shoot fleeing Jews in the following scene, as well as Cosima's former husband Otto von Bülow, who dares to step into Wagner-Hitler's way.
