The Sand Pebbles
The following firearms can be viewed in The Sand Pebbles (1966):
Star Model B
This pistol is supposed to be a Colt 1911, however, it is actually a Star Model B. Note the external extractor, and the absence of a grip safety. The Star Model B fills in as the Colt 1911A1 throughout the movie.
Browning Automatic Rifle
The Browning Automatic Rifle is used by different characters throughout the movie but most memorably by Jake Holman (Steve McQueen) and Lt. Collins (Richard Crenna). The A2-style flash hider is anachronistic.
Lewis Gun
The Lewis Gun is used on the U.S. Navy gunboat U.S.S. San Pablo. The Lewis gun was used by the U.S. Navy and United States Marines during the years between the two world wars. The American version was chambered for 30-06 however and not British .303.
Springfield Model 1903 Rifle
Holman (Steve McQueen)and many other U.S. Navy sailors are seen using the Springfield 1903 rifle.
