The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)

The following guns were used in this film:

Lee Enfield SMLE No. 1 Mk. III

The standard infantry rifle of the British troops, Black & Tans, Auxiliaries and later the Free State's National Army. It is also the most commonly used rifle by the IRA.

Revolvers

At least two kinds of Webley & Scott models are used; Mk I or Mk IV and Mk VI. Also featured are Smith & Wesson and Colt New Service File:Http://blogs.timesunion.com/movies/wp-content/uploads/2007/01/barley shooting.jpg Featured here are (l to r) S&W N-frame, Colt New Service, Webley Mk IV File:Http://z.about.com/d/worldfilm/1/0/1/t/WSBMASTER116.jpg Teddy seen here with the Webley Mk VI, notice the flat bottom of the grip and the long barrel

Vickers machine gun

Mauser Gewahr 98

A common misconception is that the rifles landed in Howth for the Irish Volunteers in 1913 were the Mauser Gewahr 98. It was in fact the long obsolete Mauser 1871 single shot bolt-action rifle. However the Gewhar 98 (or G98) is featured most prominently in the hands of Teddy Boy.

Unknown Rifle

Any help with identifying this rifle would be greatly appreciated. File:Http://katemc.files.wordpress.com/2007/03/bloginvite.jpg The rifle featured above, in the hands of Damien, is as yet unknown
