Alfa M44?
During the musketeers first attack, which fails, the Germans use three of these machine guns to repel the attack. Since the North African sequences were filmed in Spain it would seem logical that this is an Alfa M44? Also being a nitpicking geek, the Mausers used in these scenes are probably Spanish models as they have straight bolts.

- I agree that this machine gun appears to be an Alfa M44 rather than a Breda Modello 37. Breda is fed by stripper clips while the movie machine gun is belt-fed.
Also the "Unidentified grenade launcher" is a British Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar (also seen in The Professionals and in The Bridge on the River Kwai). The "Unidentified mortar" appears to be a Spanish Valero M1933, note the unique shape of the barrel support. Greg-Z (talk) 06:34, 4 April 2015 (EDT) Super! Thx.
