Beneath the Planet of the Apes
The following weapons were used in the film Beneath the Planet of the Apes:
Apes Rifle (modified M1 Carbine)
As in the original Planet of the Apes, the main rifle used in the film is a visually modified M1 Carbine. This time, the wood casing was not painted black and for some scenes a bayonet was attached. Both Taylor (Charlton Heston) and Brent (James Franciscus) are seen using the rifle. For the background extras, wooden replicas were used.
Apes Submachine Gun (modified Madsen M50)
An Ape SMG was added to the Apes' arsenal of weapons for the film. It is seen in the hands of several Apes, most prominently in General Ursus (James Gregory) hands in the final scene. The Ape SMG appears to be a modified Madsen M50. Like the modified M1 Carbines, the Madsen is concealed in a wooden case.
Apes Handgun (revolver)
The Apes also use a handgun which appears to be a visually modified S&W revolver.
