Unidentified Firearms

Screenshots added. Have at 'em. Note that most of the scenes featuring guns weren't actually shot in Italy or Sicily. So the "Italian" soldiers and cops are probably using American guns. - Kooshmeister

Farmer's Shotgun

Confronting the Ymir in his barn, a Sicilian farmer (Sid Cassel) grabs a double-barreled shotgun.

The farmer retrieves his gun from the barn wall..

Shotgun and lantern in hand, the farmer investigates things.

File:20million5.jpg

The farmer is joined by some unexpected allies as Calder and the police appear in his barn.

Various Guns

United States Marines (or what are supposed to be Marines, in-story) bail out of Calder's helicopter when it lands to capture the Ymir. They carry a multitude of weapons. The shot of them actually exiting the helicopter appears to be wartime stock footage.

File:20million16.jpg

Stock footage soldier #1 has a rifle of some sort.

File:20million17.jpg

Ditto for stock footage soldier #2.

A bazooka of some kind.

What appears to be a two-legged machine gun with legs folded.

Another rifle.

The decidedly non-stock footage soldier in back has a rifle slung over his shoulder.

Italian Army Rifles

Rifles (automatic or bolt-action I cannot tell) wielded by the Italian soldiers who assist Calder in confronting the Ymir in Rome.

As the Ymir destroys a bridge, one brave soldier lingers to shoot at him.

Three soldiers shoot up at the Ymir (seconds before being squished by falling columns).

Three more soldiers spin around with their rifles after barely avoiding their predecessors' fate.

Nice work Kooshmeister

But try to stem back the sarcastic commentary. We've gone on a crusade to excise IMFDB of all of that. Thanks. MoviePropMaster2008 19:24, 19 March 2010 (UTC)

I apologize, I just sometimes try and inject a little too much goofiness I guess. - Kooshmeister

Id'ing guns

If you take a look at the Band of Brothers page, that should help you id some of the rifles. --Ben41 00:39, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Uh, yeah. Thanks Ben41. I was flabbergasted at some of the confusion regarding some "cough" "cough" very well known firearms .. *cough!* but your suggestions keeps us from being tempted to make fun .... LOL! ;) MoviePropMaster2008 00:56, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

Sorry but most American WWII-era weapons look alike to me, especially the rifles which is what the majority of the stock footage soldiers are carrying above. Nevertheless, I'll take a look. - Kooshmeister

They all look alike? Are you kidding? ;) LOL! I hear the screams of the COD players echoing in the hallways. I don't know where you are from, but you must not be an American, I suppose. I understand non-Americans not knowing American weapons, especially classic ones! ;) MoviePropMaster2008 01:29, 20 March 2010 (UTC)

I was born in Augusta, Georgia, although I spent my early childhood in Germany in Oberammergau due to my father being a NATO officer. I understand this could be taken to mean I should know about American guns due to my father being in the military, but whatever. - Kooshmeister
