Hacksaw Ridge is a 2016 World War II film directed by Mel Gibson and tells the true story of Desmond T. Doss (Andrew Garfield), a US Army medic in the 77th Infantry Division who faced persecution and ridicule for his refusal to carry a weapon into battle due to his religious beliefs and ended up receiving the Medal of Honor for saving the lives of 75 of his fellow soldiers during the battle for the Maeda Escarpment in Okinawa (the eponymous Hacksaw Ridge). Shot in Australia with a mostly-local cast, the film was released to critical acclaim and nominated for numerous awards, including six Oscars (notably Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor for Andrew Garfield).


The following weapons were used in the film Hacksaw Ridge:

Rifles

M1 Garand

M1 Garand rifles are the most common weapons in the hands of US troops. Sergeant Howell (Vince Vaughn) notably uses an M1 Garand to kill a Japanese sniper, after which Doss borrows the rifle to create an improvised drag stretcher. The weapon plays a plot point during the middle act, when Doss refuses to qualify on it during basic training.

M1A1 Carbine

In a continuity error, Captain Glover's radioman can be seen firing an M1A1 Carbine, the paratrooper model with folding stock, at the Japanese bunkers. In all other scenes it's a regular M1 Carbine.

Machine Guns

Browning Automatic Rifle

US troops are seen using Browning Automatic Rifle, including by Smitty Riker (Luke Bracey) to great effect. The weapons in the film have the bipod removed. In one notable scene, he fires it one-handed whilst using a disembowelled corpse as a human shield - quite a feat given the weight and recoil of the weapon.

Browning M1919A4

Browning M1919A4 machine guns are seen used by US troops, mounted on M2 tripods. In one scene, Randall "Teach" Fuller (Richard Pyros) fires the M1919A4 by the hip - holding it by the barrel, a good way to get burned.

Type 97 Hand Grenade

Japanese soldiers use the Type 97 Hand Grenade. It is notably seen in the final battle when Japanese soldiers fake surrender then throw them at US troops. Doss deflects the grenades, taking the brunt of the blast in the process.

M2 Mortar

US Army soldiers use M2 Mortar during the initial attack on Hacksaw Ridge. During the Japanese counterattack, several retreating U.S. soldiers including Smitty Ryker (Luke Bracey) are seen using 60mm rounds as improvised hand grenades against the Japanese. They armed the rounds by banging them against their helmets and threw them, killing several enemy soldiers, ala Saving Private Ryan (only they used the mortar base plate to prime the rounds). A US Army Sergeant received the Medal of Honor during Okinawa for holding off a Japanese attack with, amongst other things, 60mm mortar rounds.
