Caboblanco is an American 1980 adventure movie directed by J. Lee Thompson and starring (Charles Bronson). This is the third collaboration between Bronson and J. Lee Thompson, following St. Ives (1976) and The White Buffalo (1977). The story is set in a fishing village Cabo Blanco in Peru after World War 2. An innkeeper Gifford Hoyt (Bronson) confronts a Nazi refugee Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards) who is seeking to uncover sunken treasure.
The following weapons were used in the film Caboblanco:
Revolvers
Colt New Service
Cabo Blanco Police Captain Terredo (Fernando Rey) carries a Colt New Service revolver (Colt M1917 is also possible but less credible). One of his subordinates also carries a revolver that is supposed to be same model.
Pistols
M1911
An M1911 pistol is a personal handgun of Gifford Hoyt (Charles Bronson).
Luger P08
A Nazi refugee Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards) and his henchman Horst (Denny Miller) use Luger P08 pistols.
Submachine Guns
Thompson M1
Gunther Beckdorff (Jason Robards) uses a Thompson M1, fitted with additional foregrip, during the massacre of the sailors.
Rifles
Winchester Model 1892 Carbine
Most Beckdorff's henchmen are armed with Winchester Model 1892 carbines.
M1 Carbine
What appears to be an M1 Carbine is briefly seen in hands of a guard at the gates of Beckdorff's villa.
Marlin Model 1881
One of Beckdorff's henchmen uses a lever action rifle that appears to be a Marlin Model 1881.
Mosin Nagant M1891 Infantry
Several policemen carry Mosin Nagant M1891 rifles of Infantry model. Gifford Hoyt (Charles Bronson) disarms a policeman and uses his rifle.
Trivia: The movie was filmed in Mexico that purchased in 1920s about 5,000 Mosin Nagants, produced by New England Westinghouse and Remington under Russian contract and not delivered to Russia due to Russian revolution 1917. In 1920s-1930s Mexican Mosin Nagant rifles were mostly used by various paramilitary organisations, and in 1936-1937 a number of these guns were delivered to Spanish Republicans, but some rifles, as we can see, remained in Mexico until 1980s.
Mauser Sporterized Rifle
One of Beckdorff's henchmen is armed with a Mauser 98 style sporterized rifle that appears to be a converted military gun rather than purpose-built sporting/hunting. The base gun seems to be a Karabiner 98k though it's not for sure.
Bolt action rifles
Bolt action hunting/sporting rifles of unclear model(s) are used by Beckdorff's henchmen and police.
