Deathwatch (2002)

Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver

The revolver used by the British troops of Y Company including Pte. Charlie Shakespeare (Jamie Bell), Capt. Bramwell Jennings (Laurence Fox), Sgt. David Tate (Hugo Speer), Pte. Thomas Quinn (Andy Serkis), Pte. Anthony Bradford (Hugh O'Conor) and Cpl. 'Doc' Fairweather (Matthew Rhys) is the Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver. Note that Quinn has a bayonet attachment fitted to his; whilst the bayonet had never been used officially by the British Army since 1915, it is still possible that Quinn got his hands on one.

Webley-Fosbery Automatic Revolver - .455 Webley

Luger P08

A Luger P08 is used by Laurence Fox as Capt. Bramwell Jennings when he threatens Pte. Willie McNess (Dean Lennox Kelly) to stop him going over the top.

Luger P08 - 9mm

Mauser Gewehr 1898

The German soldier Friedrich (Torben Liebrecht) uses a Mauser Gewehr 1898 to hold Pte. Charlie Shakespeare (Jamie Bell) at gunpoint at the end of the film. The historically accurate Gewehr 1898 is only used in this part and at the beginning; the rest of the Mauser rifles are the historically anachronistic Karabiner 98k.

Mauser Gewehr 1898 Rifle - 7.92mm

Lee Enfield Mk1

Used by almost all of the British soldiers of Y company. Like the 98K, these are also inaccurate since the MK1 Lee enfield wasn't introduced until the 1920s and the SMLE was the standard rifle of the time. Kris Marshall uses a scoped version as sniper Barry Starinski. Lee enfield No.1 MKIII SMLE which is correct for World War I British rifle.

Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* - .303 British. This was the main battle rifle of British and Commonwealth forces during the First World War, introduced in 1907 it has seen action throughout the 20th century.

Bergmann MP18

Wielded by Jamie Bell as Shakespeare. It is a common misconception that the MP18 wasn't introduced until 1918 with the Ludendorff offensive. However, this is not the case as there are reports that it arrived on the battlefield (albeit in small numbers) as early as 1916. It would have more likely used a "snail drum" magazine as opposed to a 20 round box one as used in the film. MP18 didn't came out until 1918 at the end of World War I.

Bergmann MP18 - 9mm

Vickers Machine Gun

Used by Private Willie Mcness in the opening scene.

Vickers Mk1 Machine Gun

MG08

Used the the German machine gunners in the opening scene.

Mills Bomb

Used by Jamie Bell, incorrectly referred to as a pineapple grenade by another Y company soldier.

Mills Bomb High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade

Potato Masher Grenades

Used by the British soldiers of Y company as they clear dugouts, Shakespeare compares them to the mills bombs. Can't recognise the type of grenades though because these seem slightly different to WWI potato mashers.

Unknown Flare

Used by Jamie Bell towards the end of the film. Not too sure what type it is though.
