Reed Cassidy (Martin Henderson) fires a Lewis aircraft gun from his plane.
Vickers Aircraft Machine Gun
All the Lafayette Escadrille airmen, including Blaine Rawlings (James Franco), Eugene Skinner (Abdul Salis), Eddie Beagle (David Ellison), Reed Cassidy (Martin Henderson), William Jensen (Philip Winchester), Nunn (Pip Pickering), and Lyle Porter (Michael Jibson) have Vickers Aircraft Machine Guns on their planes.
Mle 1892 Revolver
The Lafayette Escadrille pilots are given Mle 1892 Revolvers as last-ditch suicide weapons by Cassidy (Martin Henderson). Blaine Rawlings (James Franco) notably uses his to shoot the "Black Falcon" in the end.
anti-aircraft gun
When the Germans first spot the French aircraft, they fire anti-aircraft guns at it.
Maxim LMG 08/15 "Spandau"
The Germans use air-cooled Maxim LMG 08/15 machine guns on their Fokker DR-1 triplanes. Beagle tells the other airmen that they are "9 mm Spandaus", which is incorrect as they are actually the standard German 7.92x57 mm Mauser ammunition.
