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
Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) carries a Smith & Wesson M1917 revolver with custom plexiglass "sweetheart" grips as his sidearm throughout the film. 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.

Colt M1911A1
Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf), Staff Sergeant Binkowski (Jim Parrack), and Lt. Parker (Xavier Samuel) all carry the M1911A1 as their sidearm in the film.

Luger P08
At the film's opening, "Wardaddy" is seen with what appears to be a Luger P08 that was presumably taken from the German officer on horseback that he fought with. The film's script also says that the German carried a Luger.
The pistol is seen in his right hand.

MP40
The MP40 was the most common submachine gun used by the German Army during WWII. It is seen used in the film by the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS and mostly wielded by officers. Interestingly, some American soldiers are also seen using MP40s.

Sturmgewehr 44
Staff Sergeant Don "Wardaddy" Collier (Brad Pitt) carries a captured Sturmgewehr 44 throughout the film, likely commandeered from a German soldier. 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. The rifle starts in the film missing its front sight hood, but with it in every scene afterwards. Several German SS troops near the end of the film also use the Sturmgewehr 44 as well. "Bible" (Shia LaBeouf) also acquires one temporarily in the film.

Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
The Browning Automatic Rifle, or 'B.A.R' was the standard Squad Automatic Weapon for U.S. rifle squads in WWII and is seen used by American troops in the film.

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. Norman Ellison (Logan Lerman) operates the bow-mounted M1919A4 throughout the film and Grady "Coon-Ass" Travis (Jon Bernthal) operates the coaxial M1919A4. Boyd "Bible" Swan (Shia LaBeouf) also uses the coaxial M1919A4 in the climaxing battle. During said battle, a case rupture destroys the coaxial M1919A4 so the crew dismounts the Browning M1919A4 atop the tank to replace it. One soldier seen assaulting the town wields a Browning M1919A4 and fires from the hip. Note that having two machine guns atop the turret is very unusual for Shermans; they were sent initially with a single Browning M2HB, switched briefly to a M1919 on a low-profile mount before reverting back to the M2 due to experiences in the field. It's possible they kept the M1919 during a transitional period.

Tanks of Fury
- Note: All American M4A3 variants portrayed in the movie are actually British M4A2, though the only difference between M4A3s and M4A2s is the engine deck cover and that M4A2s run on diesel rather than gasoline. Of the Shermans, only the Fury tank was acquired from the Bovington Tank Museum in England
M4A2E8 Sherman
This is the Sherman tank used in the film for the titular tank Fury. Fury is supposed to represent the M4A3E8 variant (also known as the M4A3 (76) W HVSS Sherman) and with the HVSS system and a 76mm M1A2 gun which comes with a muzzle brake 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. The M4A2E8 was donated by the Bovington Tank Museum in England and can still be seen there with all of its movie set-up still.

M4A2 Sherman
The Lucy Sue, one of the tanks in Wardaddy's platoon, appears to be an A2 model with a 75mm M3 gun. It seems to be one of the early models given the protruding crew hatches on the glacis. It is commanded by Sgt. Davis (Brad William Henke).

M4A1(76)W Sherman
Old Phyllis is a M4A1(76)W Sherman tank, given the full cast hull from its rounded body shape. It is fitted with a 76mm M1A1 gun, which does not have a muzzle brake like Fury. It is commanded by Sgt. Peterson (Kevin Vance).

M4(105)HVSS with a T23 turret
Matador is a M4(105)HVSS with a T23 turret and 76mm M1A1 gun. It is commanded by Lt. Parker (Xavier Samuel). The M4(105)HVSS also doubles as Fury in scenes where the actual tank died on the set.

A front view of Lt. Parker's tank with a seemingly excessive amount of sandbags in the front glacis.
Side view of Lt. Parker's tank as it gets hit by a panzerfaust.
M4A4 Sherman
Murder Inc. is a M4A4 Sherman tank with a 75mm M3 gun. It is distinguishable from the greater distances between the bogies on the suspension. It is commanded by Sgt. Binkowski (Jim Parrack). This is an unusual Sherman variant to be commanded by a US tank crew as the M4A4 Sherman variant is usually loaned to other Allied countries in the Lend-Lease Act.
Murder Inc. far left in the tank platoon.
Murder Inc. to the left of
Fury. The M4A4 difference from the other Shermans is the greater distance between the bogies (where the wheels are) and the longer back part, which are both easily seen here.
Tiger I Ausf. E
The majority of Tiger tanks seen in the World War II films prior to Fury were either stock footage or mock-ups constructed from other tank chassis. The Tiger seen in Fury is a real World War II Tiger Ausf. E, number 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 cannibalizing spares from the engine of their Tiger II). This is the first time Tiger 131 has been used in a feature film. Its German commander is played by David Rae, one of film's technical advisers on tank warfare. Its cannon is the infamous 8.8 cm KwK 36 gun.
The Tiger is rolled out before production in this BTS image. Note the 131 on the turret which gives it the name "Tiger 131".

Panther Ausf. D
At the film's beginning, a German officer on horseback passes what appears to be a disabled German Panther D tank. It would have the 7.5 cm KwK 42 gun.
The tank seen here appears to be a German Panther. Its an Ausf. D due to the commander's drum cupola shape, plus with the top-swinging hatch rather than a side-swing one seen on later variants.
Panzer IV Ausf. H
At the film's beginning, a German officer on horseback passes what appears to be a disabled German Panzer IV Ausf H tank. It would have the 7.5 cm KwK 40 L/48 gun.
The tank to the left of the German officer looks like a Panzer IV Ausf H.
Another shot of the Panzer IV. Here you can see the turrent skirts.
Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer"
A Jagdpanzer 38(t) "Hetzer" can be seen very briefly during the scene before "Wardaddy" breaks down. It would have the 7.5 cm Pak 39 gun.
