The film's cast includes Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Kenneth Branagh, Fionn Whitehead, Jack Lowden, Cillian Murphy and One Direction member Harry Styles. The story had previously been told in a similarly-named 1958 film Dunkirk. Note: The screenshots seen here will be of varying sizes due to the change in aspect ratio throughout the film.

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Revolvers

Rifles

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III*

British soldiers including Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) and Alex (Harry Styles) are seen carrying Lee-Enfield No.1 MkIII* rifles. Some of them are mockups with straight bolt handles and smaller barrels.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British.

Having rather ill-advisedly thrown it over a fence, Tommy (Fionn Whitehead) tries to unjam his Enfield.

The .303 round is visible.

Vickers K

Vickers K machine guns are fitted to British Motor Torpedo Boats. This is potentially anachronistic because as a general rule Motor Torpedo Boats at the time were fitted with ground pattern Lewis Guns, not being replaced with the Vickers K until 1942. The actual boat used during production is MTB 102 which was actually present during the real Dunkirk evacuation (acting as the flagship for Rear Admiral Wake-Walker), and is in fact the sole surviving Royal Navy vessel that participated in the operation.

Bren Mk1

A Bren Mk1 is fired from an anti-aircraft mount on a Royal Navy destroyer. At least one British soldier carries a Bren gun.

Oerlikon 20mm Cannon

A Oerlikon 20mm Cannon is mounted on the British Motor Torpedo Boat and the Destroyer Maillé-Brézé.

Oerlikon Cannon - 20mm.

Webley & Scott No. 4 Mk. I Signal Pistol - 37 mm

After ditching his fighter in the sea, Collins tries to use his Signal Pistol to try to break the glass of his plane's jammed windscreen and escape.

As panic sets in, he drops the flare gun into the seawater flooding the cockpit.
