Fury (2014)

Fury is a 2014 World War II film starring Brad Pitt as a US Army tank commander fighting during the closing months of the war in Europe. The film was directed by David Ayer and the cast includes Logan Lerman, Jon Bernthal, Michael Pena, and Shia LaBeouf. The film's production went to great lengths to provide accurate weaponry and armor for the period, including utilizing the only working Tiger tank left in existence.

The following weapons were used in the film Fury (2014):

Handguns

Smith & Wesson M1917

The Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver with custom pexiglass "sweetheart" grips is seen carried by Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt). He is notably seen using the revolver to coax Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) into killing a German soldier.

Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver (Military issue with lanyard ring) - .45 ACP. Note the ejector-rod socket, common of a Smith revolver. Also note the S&W style cylinder release latch and half-moon front sight. These are the most easily distinguishable external differences between the Colt and S&W versions.

Sturmgewehr 44

The Sturmgewehr 44 was the first such rifle to be termed an "assault rifle" and was introduced by the German army late in the war. This is the weapon carried by Wardaddy (Brad Pitt), likely commandeered from a German soldier. The rifle starts in the film missing its front sight hood, but with it in every scene afterwards. Several German SS troops in the end uses the Sturmgewhr 44 as well with Bible (Shia LaBeouf) acquiring one temporarily.

Browning M1919A4

The Browning M1919A4 .30 caliber machine gun is shown mounted on the Fury, the M4 Sherman tank. The Fury also mounts two more M1919's; one in a coaxial mount next to the M1A1C 76mm main gun, and another mounted in the bow of the hull. Note that having two machine guns atop the turret is very unusual for Shermans; they usually either mounted an M1919 or a Browning M2HB as mentioned below. One soldier seen assaulting the town wields a Browning M1919A4 from the hip.

Tanks of Fury

• Note: All American M4A3 variants portrayed in the movie are actually British M4A2s acquired from the Bovington Tank Museum in England, though the only difference between M4A3s and M4A2s is the engine deck cover and that M4A2s run on diesel rather than gasoline.

M4A2E8 Sherman

This is the Sherman tank used in the film for Fury. Fury is supposed to represent the M4A3E8 variant. Fury also has the HVSS system to further distinguish it from other Shermans. It is commanded by Sgt. Don 'Wardaddy' Collier (Brad Pitt). In addition to the real tank, two mockups were also constructed for closeup filming of the actors.

Tiger I

The Tiger I tank seen in the film is an actual Tiger and not a mock-up. The vehicle is Tiger 131, loaned from the Bovington Tank Museum in England like the other tanks seen in the film. While there are several actual Tiger tanks still in existence, this particular Tiger is unique as it is the only Tiger I tank left running in the world (largely achieved by Bovington cannibalising spares from the engines of their Tiger II and Jagdtiger). This is the first time it has been used in a feature film.
