A Ranger uses his M1911 to shoot off the lock, but it is shot out of his hand. Although it seems unlikely that the enemy soldier would be able to do this without wounding, this happened during the actual raid to S/Sgt. Theodore Richardson when he shot off the lock of the front gate.

Gewehr 98 Rifle

The Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifle is seen in the hands of both Philippine guerrillas and Japanese soldiers.
