Mr. Sunshine is a 2018 South Korean TV series starring Lee Byung-hun. It is set in 1900s Korea, shortly before the Japanese takeover of 1910.

The following weapons were used in the television series Mr. Sunshine:

Pistols

Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is used by several characters throughout the series.

Mauser C96 M1930 - 7.63x25mm Mauser

Nambu Type 14

The Nambu Type 14 anachronistically appears as the standard sidearm of all Imperial Japanese Army members and is used by several characters throughout the series. The pistol's anachronism in this series is two-fold; first, the Type 14 would not be adopted as the standard sidearm of the IJA until 1927 (years after this series' setting), and secondly, the model that appears throughout the series is the "late model", which would only be adopted in 1936. The Nambu 1902 or the Type 26 Revolver would have been a much more period-accurate handgun.

Nambu Type 14 (late) - 8x22mm Nambu

Revolvers

Remington 1858 New Army

Remington 1858 New Army - .44 caliber

Colt Single Action Army

Colt Single Action Army with 5.5" barrel known as the "Artillery" model - .45 Long Colt

Rifles

Enfield P14

Eugene Choi (Lee Byung-hun) uses a British Pattern 1914 Enfield while fighting as a US Marine in the Spanish-American War. This is anachronistic, as the rifle only entered US service several after the war had ended.

This is anachronistic, as the rifle only entered US service as the Enfield M1917 several after the war had ended. Behind him, US troops are carrying the current 50-star US flag, which is anachronistic as it entered use in 1960, more than 60 years after the war had ended. At the time the US flag only had 45 stars.
