The following firearms can be seen in Castle in the Sky

Hybrid Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)

All of the soldiers seen in the film carry hybrid SMLE bolt-action rifles, due to the slightly longer barrel of the No. 4 rifle and Gewehr 98 Lange-Visier sights. The rifles are depicted with five round magazines instead of the better known ten round magazines, which is plausible since the Lee Enfield's magazine could be detached and swapped in the field, thanks to the small lever in the trigger guard.
