Deathwatch (2002)

The weapons seen in this movie are:

Webley Revolver

Used by Lawrence Fox as Captain Bramwell Jennings, Jamie Bell as Shakespeare and Andy Serkis as Quinn whose is fitted with a bayonet attachment. The film is set in 1917 but the bayonet attachment on Webleys hadn't been used officially since 1915.

Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver - .455 Webley

Luger P08

Used by Lawrence Fox as Captain Jennings when he threatens Private McNess.

P08 Luger Pistol - 9mm

Mauser 98k

Used by the German soldiers in the opening prologue and at the end when Torben Liebricht as Friedrich holds Jamie Bell at gunpoint. Most of the mauser rifles are 98Ks which are inaccurate for the time period.

Mauser Gewehr 1898 Rifle - 7.92mm

Lee Enfield Mk1

Used by almost all of the British soldiers of Y company. Like the 98K, these are also inaccurate since the MK1 Lee enfield wasn't introduced until the 1920s and the SMLE was the standard rifle of the time. Kris Marshall uses a scoped version as sniper Barry Starinski.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War, introduced in 1907 it has seen action throughout the 20th century.

Bergmann MP18

Wielded by Jamie Bell as Shakespeare. It is a common misconception that the MP18 wasn't introduced until 1918 with the Ludendorff offensive. However, this is not the case as there are reports that it arrived on the battlefield (albeit in small numbers) as early as 1916. It would have more likely used a "snail drum" magazine as opposed to a 20 round box one as used in the film.

Bergmann MP18 - 9mm

Vickers Machine Gun

Used by Private Willie Mcness in the opening scene.

Vickers Mk1 Machine Gun

MG08

Used the the German machine gunners in the opening scene.

German Maxim MG08 on sled mount

Mills Bomb

Used by Jamie Bell, incorrectly referred to as a pinapple grenade by another Y company soldier.

Mills Bomb High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade


Potato Masher Grenades

Used by the British soldiers of Y company as they clear dugouts, Shakespeare compares them to the mills bombs. Can't recognise the type of grenades though because these seem slightly different to WWI potato mashers.


Unknown Flare

Used by Jamie Bell towards the end of the film. Not too sure what type it is though.
