Assassination (Korean title: 암살, Amsal) is a 2015 Korean historical action-drama film. Taking place around Japan-occupied Asia in 1933, the film follows a group of Korean partisans as they are hired to execute an assassination plot on a Japanese collaborator, and navigate a tangled web of conspiracies surrounding betrayals, a counter-plot, and a revelation of one of the hitmen's past.

FN Model 1910

Multiple characters throughout the film, including multiple IJA officers, use the FN Model 1910 throughout the film. The Model 1910's use by the IJA in the movie is surprisingly accurate, as IJA officers have been known to use multiple foreign pistol models, the Model 1910 included.

Nambu Type 14

Multiple Imperial Japan-affiliated characters are seen using the era-accurate early Nambu Type 14 throughout the film. However, the "late" model (introduced in 1936, three years after this film's setting) also anachronistically appears in the film, as evidenced by the pistol's elongated trigger guard.

Submachine Guns

Lanchester Mk. I*

Buddy (Oh Dal-su) uses a Lanchester Mk. I* throughout the film. The submachine gun's appearance is anachronistic since it was introduced in 1941; it might be standing for the SIG Bergmann which was used by Chinese and Japanese troops at the time.

M1928 Thompson

The M1928 Thompson is used by multiple characters throughout the film, most prominently by An Ok-yun (Gianna Jun) and by Chu Sang-ok/"Big Gun" (Cho Jin-woong). Sang-ok correctly refers to the gun as a Thompson throughout the film.

Mosin-Nagant M1891

An Ok-yun (Gianna Jun) uses a Mosin-Nagant M1891 for sniping throughout the film. The rifle's scope actually has two inaccuracies in the film; firstly, the PU scope doesn't support the M1891 model of the Mosin-Nagant (the scope was developed and released long after the M1891 stopped being produced), and secondly, the scope's sight is a generic cross shape instead of the PU scope's unique "T" shape.
