Defiance (2008)
Defiance is a 2008 World War II film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as brothers who decide to take the fight to the enemy during the German occupation of Poland. Directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai), it should be noted that many of the World War II-era weapons in the film appear to be near mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame. However, it is a rare occurrence to see any of these famous weapons in such pristine condition.
The following weapons were used in the movie Defiance:
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Zus (Liev Schreiber) keeps a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun for protection and uses it when he goes into town seeking vengeance. He takes two rounds to down his first victim, and hits another in the chest, just wounding him, which suggests he is using either birdshot or another less powerful round. It also has exposed hammers.
MP40
Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig) and his brother Zus (Liev Schreiber) carry captured MP40 submachine guns. Numerous Germans are equipped with the MP40.
Walther P38
Tuvia (Daniel Craig) uses a Walther P38 as his sidearm. He gives it to Lilka (Alexa Davalos) to protect herself during her food mission. Asael also uses one to kill one German.
Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873
The first gun obtained by Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig) from Koscik is a French Chamelot-Delvigne Model 1873 revolver. He uses it to avenge his parent's death.
Nagant M1895
A female member of the Otriad is seen firing the Nagant M1895 in the final battle. Also seems to be standard issue for the police.
PPSh-41
Red Army soldiers are equipped with the PPSh-41. At the end of the film, some partisans have it too, notably Asael Bielski (Jamie Bell).
Mauser Model 1938
Zus (Liev Schreiber) is seen firing a Turkish Mauser M38 one early in the film as the refugees leave their first camp.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 is used by the Red Army soldiers and the Bielski partisans. During the Nazi attack led by the milkman who gave the Nazi directions, the MP40 carried by Zus turns into a Mosin Nagant rifle when he shoots the milkman's arm.
Mosin Nagant M38 carbine
Chaya (Mia Wasikowska) fires a Mosin Nagant M38 carbine in the final battle, with horrible flinch. Also used by Polish Police.
Tokarev SVT40
One of Zus' men used a Tokarev SVT40.
Degtyarev DP Machine Gun
Zus is using a Degtyarov DP Machine Gun during an ambush. Later in the film, other partisans use it against German convoys.
Karabiner 98 (K98 Mauser)
The Karabiner 98 (K98 Mauser) is used by German Forces and some Bielski partisans in the film.
MG34
At the end of the film, a German machine gunner team is setting their MG34, mounting it on a tripod, but Tuvia (Daniel Craig) takes them out by behind and uses the machine gun against the German infantry. The tank which he shoots at, also has an MG34. Earlier, during the Red Army ambush, a German soldier shoots it from the truck.
MG42
The MG42 is also used by the Germans.
Tokarev TT-33
During the Soviet ambush, Zus uses a Tokarev TT-33 to execute a German officer and a soldier. Near the end of the film, he shoots the tank commander with the Tokarev. Lilka's side arm is also a TT-33.
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate is a German grenade, but it is only seen used by the Bielski partisans during the film. Zus throws one under a German truck during the Red Army ambush and later throws one into a German tank. Near the end of the film, Isaac (Mark Feuerstein) attacks German soldiers with a bag of grenades.
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
The Otriad acquires a few Mk 2 hand grenades.
