The following guns were used in 20 Million Miles to Earth.

20 Million Miles to Earth (1957)


M1 Flamethrower

While hunting the Ymir in the countryside, one Sicilian police officer has an M1 Flamethrower.

The flamethrower-wielding officer takes up his position as they sight the Ymir.
In a subsequent shot, there is a continuity break when the policeman is replaced with a totally different actor. The new 'actor' is probably a stuntman who knew how to properly operate the flamethrower. As a side note, all it takes is one malfunction to spook most actors when operating a device like a flamethrower. Nowadays films use stunt trained personnel from the beginning when using live incendiary devices like a flamethrower.

M1A1 Carbine

The local Sicilian police officers wield M1A1 Carbines with folded stocks. During the confrontation with the Ymir in the farmer's barn, Colonel Calder (William Hopper) uses one of these.

The officer to the left brandishes his M1A1 Carbine.

M9 "Bazooka"

Colonel Bob Calder (William Hopper) and a few Italian soldiers use M9 bazookas with face-shields.
