Mutant Chronicles
 Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following guns appeared in the film Mutant Chronicles (2009):'
Fantasy 'Wheel lock style' Rifle
In keeping with the 'Steam punk' style of the film's technology (of the year 2207 AD) a lot of the soldiers look like a mishmash of World War 1 soldiers with mixed European gear and a very bulky fantasy rifle that looks like it has a 'wheel lock' looking mechanism in the middle.
It looks like there's an air tank under the barrel at the front, could this be pneumatic?
SMLE
One of the soldiers in the trench in the beginning has an Short Magazine Lee Enfield (No1Mk.III) with a bayonet just before he is blown up by a mortar round.
MAC-11
Early on Lt. Maximillian von Steiner (Benno Fürmann) aims a highly modified MAC-11 pistol at Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane). Though it is decorated with science fiction addons, it is clearly a MAC-11 as the base pistol.
Mauser Rifle
Heavily modified Mauser rifles are disguised as future weapons, however, the receivers and bolts are clearly visible. Most notably carried by Cpl. Valerie Duval (Devon Aoki) and Maj. 'Mitch' Hunter (Thomas Jane)
Remington 870
A heavily modified Remington 870 shotgun is used by one of the soldiers in the film.
Fictional pistol
Major characters appear to hold a heavily customized pistol. It's hard to say if it is based on a real live firing pistol design since the gun fire seems to be all CGI and not blank fire in the film.
these last two images, my best guess is that the pistol is a heavily modified colt 1911 or 1911 clone. The barrel on the top picture looks kinda small, could be an airsoft pistol.
Major Hunter's Pistol is based on a Glock of some type. In the scene where he is about to draw on the two thugs who are selling seats on the lifeboat, there is a close-up shot of the pistol in its holster with a great view of the distinctive Glock grip.
Swiss ZFK55 Sniper Rifle
Turkey Baster Gun
The forces of Balhaus seem to carry a heavily modified gun, could be an M3 Grease Gun, however, the final result is a 'turkey baster' looking firearm.
Medieval English Sword
- Any sword experts here? Help me out.
- I'm no expert but I think that may be a longsword --AdAstra2009 03:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
- Yeah, looks to be around the right size. Longsword's a two-handed grip and a blade > 35in, I think.
I don't think its a long sword not a big enough grip
Long swords are one handed swords. It's probably a bastard sword.
- A Bastard sword IS a type of Long sword, so are Broad swords and Two-handed swords (not including Great swords). - Mr. Wolf 19:18, 4 April 2011 (CDT)

I've seen the film a couple of times, and I'd swear that those are one-handed longswords. The fact is that actors that don´t have sword training usually wields them as if they were 'bastard' swords. Bastard is a term coined in the XIX century to name what is today called a Hand and a half sword, that is, swords with a long enough pommel to be used one or two handed. That type of sword have a blade between 105-115 cm long, and the swords in the film are clearly shorter, about 85-90, a length usual for a one-handed longsword. It looks to defiantly be a one-handed sword. By the design it seems like a late middle ages french style one and a half handed broadsword. I didn't see it quite close enough to see if it was a one handed sword that the actors hold like a one and a half.
