The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles: Volume 2
Volume 2 of The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles follows Indy (Sean Patrick Flanery) fighting for the Belgian Army under an assumed name during World War I.
The following weapons were used in Volume 2 of the series The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles:
Handguns
FN Model 1910
Fredreck Selous (Paul Freeman) is armed with a FN Model 1910 in "The Phantom Train of Doom". This pistol is also seen in the hands of Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) in the episode.
N.B. Paul Freeman was already well known to Indiana Jones fans for his role as Belloq in the film Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Selous is one of several real-life historical figures who appear in The Young Indiana Jones Chronicles. Selous was a prolific British hunter who inspired the creation of H. Rider Haggard's fictional character Allan Quatermain (a role played by, among others, Sean Connery, who portrayed Indy's father in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade).
CZ 27
In "Daredevils of the Desert" Indiana Jones' (Sean Patrick Flanery) Ruby Pistol switches to an anachronistic CZ 27 in a continuity error.
Nagant M1883
In "Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life", Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) is seen carrying what appears to be a Belgian army Nagant M1883 revolver as he leads troops in East Africa. The use of this revolver in a production is somewhat surprising as these weapons are extremely rare.
MAS Mle. 1892
Indy is seen with an Mle 1892 Revolver in "Demons of Deception",
Mauser C96
A Mauser C96 is seen used by Germans most notably in the episodes set in East Africa, Palestine, and Europe.
Mauser Pocket Pistol
In "Phantom Train of Doom", Margarete Trappe (Lynsey Baxter) is armed with what appears to be a Mauser Pocket Pistol. Maya (Catherine Zeta-Jones, credited as "Catherine Zeta Jones") shoots at Indy with a 1914 Mauser Pocket Pistol in "Daredevils of the Desert".
Rast & Gasser 1898
An Austro-Hungarian Rast & Gasser 1898 revolver is seen in the hands of French officers. This is presumably intended to be a captured weapon - interestingly the Rast-Gasser 1898 chambered a round quite close to the French M1892 revolver and could use French ammunition.
Ruby
In "Daredevils of the Desert", Indy is armed with a Ruby Pistol.
Webley Mk VI
The Webley Mk VI is used.
Rifles
Lebel Mle. 1886
When Indiana Jones fights with the Belgian Army during World War I, French soldiers and Belgian troops are seen carrying Lebel 1886 rifles. The Belgian Army in WW1 actually used Mauser M1889 rifles, however these are extremely rare and it is unlikely any could be obtained. Due to supply shortages, the Belgian Army did briefly use some Lebel rifles loaned from France.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk. III*
The Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III* is seen in the hands of British and British Commonwealth soldiers during World War I, especially in the hands of the Australian Light Horsemen in the British campaign against the Ottoman forces in the Middle East. They are also seen carried by Irish rebels and British troops in the Easter Rising.
Karabiner 98k
The primary weapon used by the German infantrymen is the WW2-era Karabiner 98k, likely as sufficient WW1 Gewehr 98s could not be obtained for some of the episodes.
Mannlicher M1895
Some German soldiers at a prison camp in "Trenches of Hell" are armed with Mannlicher M1895s.
Mauser M1916 Guardia Civil
The Spanish 1916 Spanish Mauser short rifle is used throughout "The Phantom Train of Doom" and is seen in the hands of Indy and Remy Baudouin.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
In "Oganga The Giver and Taker of Life" German Askaris are seen using accurate Mauser Gewehr 1898 rifles. Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) takes one of them and uses it to charge a German machine gun position.
Mauser Model 1889
Sgt. Barthelmy (Isaach De Bankolé) and Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) wield Belgian Mauser 1889 rifle in "Oganga The Giver and Taker of Life".
Mauser Model 1890
At least one of the Belgian Askaris is seen with an 1890 Turkish Mauser.
Mauser Model 1895
Mauser rifles which appear to be 1895 Chilean Mausers are widely used by Belgian Askaris in "Oganga The Giver and Taker of Life".
Mauser Model 1903/30
Turkish Mauser 1903/30 Rifles are seen in the hands of Turkish troops in "Daredevils of the Desert". (Some of this footage is from director Simon Wincer's earlier 1987 film The Lighthorsemen).
Submachine Guns
Sa 25/26 (aircraft mounted MG's mockup)
Jones goes on a recon mission as a gunner/photographer and he is armed with two mounted Sa.25/26s, apparently as a mockup for the Lewis gun normally carried by recon planes at the time.
Machine Guns
ZB 53 / Vz.37
Czech ZB-53 / Vz.37 machine guns are mocked up to resemble Austro-Hungarian Schwarzlose M.07/12s and are used by German forces in "Trenches of Hell". It is modded with a water jacket to imitate one as the muzzle would be slightly lower.
Maxim MG 08
Both the French and German forces are seen firing the Maxim MG08.
Maxim MG08/15 Spandau
A German pilot tries to shoot Indy with his dual Maxim MG08/15 "Spandau"'s. The MG's appear to be genuine

Lewis Gun (mocked up DP-28)
The Lewis Gun appears to be the machine gun is used by Indiana Jones and Remy from a hot air balloon in "The Phantom Train of Doom". To all connoisseurs, the use of the Lewis Gun by German forces during World War I was not out of the question, as the gun was captured and used by these forces. Upon closer inspection, this weapon actually appears to be a DP-28 visually modified to resemble the Lewis. In the same episode, Margarete Trappe (Lynsey Baxter) is seen flying a biplane with a similar machine gun mounted.
Maxim M1910/30
An anachronistic Maxim M1910/30 is seen used in several episodes set during World War I. The machine gun is seen on the German train in "The Phantom Train of Doom" and used by Capt. Schiller (Daniel Craig) in "Daredevils of the Desert". The barrel shroud resembles the Russian version of the Maxim instead of the MG08 that was more commonly used by German forces during the war.
Other
Model 1912 Grenade
Indiana Jones (Sean Patrick Flanery) is seen gathering Model 1912 stick grenades during a battle.
Wurfgranate 15 on Grenatenwerfer 16 "Spigot Mortar"
East African forces fighting for the Germans are seen using Wurfgranate 15 grenades mounted on a Grenatenwerfer 16 "Spigot Mortar" in "Oganga, The Giver and Taker of Life".
