Revision as of 20:24, 1 January 2011
The following weapons were used in the film Ironweed
Krag-Jørgensen Rifle
During one of Francis' (Jack Nicholson) flashbacks, he remembers a strike in which there are US Army soldiers present to defend a Trolley conductor from an angry mob. All the soldiers are seen carrying and firing Krag-Jørgensen Rifles.
1903A3 Springfield Rifle
During the same scene, one angry mob member attempts to attack the train conductor, but he is struck in the face by the Army commanders rifle butt, the rifle in this scene switches from a Krag-Jørgensen rifle to a WW2 M1903 Springfield A3 Rifle, which would be anachronistic to the time period as it takes place sometime in the early 1900s and the 1903A3 was made during the 1940s, the weapon also appears to be a non-firing prop rifle and was used most likely as a real rifle would be heavier and would hurt a lot more if the butt were to strike someone in the face.
