The following guns were used in the film The 39 Steps (2008):


Webley Mk VI

Lewis Gun

A Lewis Gun is mounted on the wing of the Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 biplane that strafes Hannay. The biplane has two CGI muzzle flashes coming out of the nose of the aircraft, however. The S.E.5, and synchronized guns, are anachronisms.

Note the CGI muzzle flash coming from the starboard side of the nose, rather than on top of the wing, where the Lewis gun is, or on the port side, where the Vickers gun is.
