Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb is the 1964 satire directed by Stanley Kubrick (Full Metal Jacket) and stars Peter Sellers in three distinctive roles. In the film, a crazed Air Force general (Sterling Hayden) decides to launch a preemptive nuclear strike on Moscow while the President of the United States and his council contemplate on whether to stop it.
The following weapons were used in the film Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb:
Machine Guns
Browning M1919A4
A Browning M1919A4 machine gun is notoriously seen wielded by USAF Gen. Jack D. Ripper (Sterling Hayden). The weapon was carried in his golf bag and he uses it handheld to repel the Army forces sent to retake the air base. US Army troops that assault the airbase use the M1919 but with a tripod.
Rifles / Carbines
M1 Carbine
An M1 Carbine is carried by Colonel Bat Guano (Keenan Wynn) when he confronts Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers).
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is also used by the US forces assaulting the airbase.
Pistols
M1911
An older M1911 pistol is among the contents found in the survival kit of the B-52 bomber crew, which includes USAF Major Kong (Slim Pickens) and USAF Lieutenant Lothar Zogg (James Earl Jones). Also an M1911A1 with pearl grips is used by Gen. Ripper to threaten Group Captain Lionel Mandrake (Peter Sellers).
Submachine Guns
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
The M3A1 "Grease Gun" is used by both the US forces defending Ripper's Air Force base as well as the forces that are seen assaulting it.
MP40
Oddly, some of the US Army soldiers attacking Ripper's Air Force base can be seen carrying and firing German MP40s.
Other
General Ripper's Gun wall
Several Flintlock Pistols and Howdah Pistols are displayed on the walls of Gen. Ripper's office.
