The following guns were used in the film Windtalkers:

M1928A1 Thompson

For the remainder of the film, Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage) uses an M1928A1 Thompson fitted with a 30 round magazine (although the capacity is continually ignored, being a John Woo film). Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson (Christian Slater) also uses an M1928A1. Since this is a Woo film, whenever Enders or Ox comes running in, all it takes is a good hip fired burst from their Thompsons and all the Japs are dead.

M1911A1

Both Sgt. Joe Enders (Nicholas Cage) and Sgt. Pete "Ox" Anderson (Christian Slater) use M1911A1 pistols as their sidearms.

Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP.

Enders primes a satchel charge while holding his M1911A1. If he had any plan to use it, he'd cock the hammer and put it in his right hand.

Enders packs his M1911A1 in Yahzee's pack when he disguises himself as a Japanese soldier to steal a radio.

Ox fires his M1911A1 after being stabbed by a bayonet. Slater flinches terribley in this scene.

"I can't let them take us." Ox prepares to kill Whitehorse when the Japanese over whelm them.

Instead of killing Whitehorse, he whips him around and fires his M1911A1 some more.

Whitehorse picks up Ox's M1911A1 when a Gunto-wielding Jap decapitates him and fires it, eyes closed.

A close up Ox's M1911A1 when Yahzee picks it up and threatens to kill Enders. Note the milling on the ejection port, one of the procedures done to convert a real gun to fire blanks.

Enders reloads his M1911A1 during the final battle.

Yahzee forces Enders to turn his M1911A1 on him.
