Rifles

Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I

While an Arisaka would be the best fitting rifle for Kamasuka (John Fujioka), a Japanese soldier who continues to fight thirty-five years after the war, he uses several Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I rifles. One of them Kamasuka carried himself, and several others he uses as "remotely controlled".

An SMLE is fired by pulling the cord. However it can fire only once as there is no way to move the breach handle.

Machine Guns

Unidentified machine gun

During the fight for the fortress Kamasuka (John Fujioka) uses a machine gun that appears to be an acetylene-firing mockup rather than a real gun. It has spade grips and an M1919-style barrel.

Trivia

Alan and Charlie use a war-time Japanese tank to attack the fortress. The tank is a specially made self-moving mockup that doesn't fit any real vehicle but is a generic representation of a light tank.
