M1 Carbine
While Lt. Harry Brubaker (William Holden) is trapped behind enemy lines, Mike Forney (Mickey Rooney) & Nestor Gamidge (Earl Holliman) go to rescue him, armed with Korean war standard M1 Carbine Rifles.

After crashing his plane in enemy territory, Brubaker takes a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver to defend himself against enemies before Forney & Gimadge arrive.
Degtyaryov DP-27
Two Korean Soldiers fire at Brubaker & Forey with a Soviet made Degtyaryov DP-27 drum-fed machine gun.
