Sahara (aka Desert Storm) is the 1995 remake of the 1943 classic WWII film starring Humphrey Bogart. Directed by Brian Trenchard-Smith, the film features James Belushi in the Bogart role.
The following weapons were used in the film Sahara:
Handguns

Master Sergeant Gunn carries a Colt M1911A1 as his sidearm throughout the film, but he never fires it. Waco (Paul Empson) and Jimmy (Mark Lee) can bee seen with holstered Colts.
Webley Mk IV
Captain Halliday (Jerome Ehlers) carries one Webley Mk IV as his main sidearm throughout the film with the appropriate lanyard fitted, but never fires it.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 is Lt. von Schletow's (Julian Garner) sidearm which is surrendered to Gunn (James Belushi) after he is shot down. This gun is never fired in the film.
Lorcin L22
Von Schletow (Julian Garner) also carries a stainless/nickel Lorcin L22 in his boot. It is taken taken by M/Sgt. Gunn (James Belushi) after Tambul (Robert Wisdom) finds it while doing a "thorough search." It is never fired throughout the film.
Walther P38
Walther P38 is the sidearm of Major von Falken (Alexander Petersons), the German commanding officer. He uses it to execute Bergman (Mark Gerber), the soldier who gave up information about the German forces. Later, Leroux (Michael Massee) seizes it after stabbing von Falken and shoots Captain Müller (David Slingsby).
Rifles
Lee Enfield No. 1 MkIII*
LeRoux (Michael Massee) and Sergeant-Major Tambul (Robert Wisdom) carry Lee Enfield No. 1 MkIII* SMLEs as their primary weapon fitted with bayonets. LeRoux uses the rifle during both German attacks while Sergeant-Major Tambul never fires his. At the beginning of the film, a young British soldier named Mike Clarkson (Todd MacDonald) also had a Lee Enfield rifle, but he died before he could use it. Bates (Alan David Lee) uses the rifle at the end of the film but stops firing when the German soldiers trade their guns for water.
