Nice, but where's the trigger?

This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it.

The following firearms can be seen in the film The Battle of the Bulge:

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand was the most common weapon among US infantrymen during WWII. The M1 Garand is carried by numerous US soldiers throughout the film.

M1919A4/A6 Browning .30 Caliber Machine Gun

M1919 A4 is seen mounted on the US tanks and is fired handheld by Sgt. Guffy (Telly Savalas).

A variant of the Browning M1919 developed during World War 2, this model is designated the M37, with the ability to feed from either the left or the right of the weapon - 30-06. This example is shown without a tripod, only the pintle mount. This the MOST likely .30 cal machine gun to be seen firing from armored vehicles.

Thompson M1A1

The Thompson rarelly seen used by American infantryman.

M20 Bazooka

Wolenski (Charles Bronson) uses an M20 Bazooka with shield to damage a German Tiger Tank. If these are indeed M20 Super Bazookas then they are anachronistic. The M20s were not issued until the Korean War (1950).
