My Way (Korean title:마이 웨이) is a 2011 South Korean war film directed by Kang Je-gyu. Two Rival marathoners, Korean rickshaw driver Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Japanese-born Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri), are put into front-line service with the Imperial Japanese Army, Jun-Shik a draftee and Tatsuo a fiercely Nationalist colonel. Captured by the Red Army during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, they endure a harsh journey that takes them from a forced-labor camp in Russia to battle against the Wehrmacht and ultimately defending Omaha Beach from the Americans on D-Day.
The following weapons are seen in My Way:
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Sidearms
Colt M1911A1
Wehrmacht officers use the Colt M1911A1 during the Battle of Hedosk. This is not necessarily inaccurate, as captured M1911A1 pistols were used by German forces designated as the "Pistole 660(a)". Close examination shows that the guns are not actually fired, with muzzle flashes added in post-production.
Nambu Type 14
Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) and several other Japanese officers use the Nambu Type 14. Note that the large trigger guard makes this a "late" Nambu, which would be inaccurate for the Battle of Khalkhin Gol.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is used by Red Army prison guards and Commissar's. Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) uses a presumably captured TT-33 to execute retreating Japanese soldiers at Khalkhin Gol.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is used by a Wehrmacht officer during D-Day.
Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
At least one of the American soldiers attacking Omaha Beach carries an M1928A1 Thompson.
M1A1 Thompson
Several American soldiers landing at Omaha Beach carry the M1A1 Thompson.
PPSh-41
Both Red Army and Wehrmacht soldiers use the PPSh-41 (not inaccurate, many Germans fighting on the Ostfront used the PPSh-41). However, the weapon does make an appearance amongst the Labor camp guards in scenes set pre-1941, which would make it anachronistic.
Rifles
Arisaka Type 38
The Arisaka Type 38 is the main weapon of the Imperial Japanese Army, including Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Lee Jong-dae (Kim In-kwon).
Karabiner 98k
The main weapon of the Wehrmacht soldiers is the Karabiner 98k. Oddly enough, several US soldiers also use the 98k - possibly because of an inadequate number of US rifles.
Karabiner 98k "Kriegsmodell"
At least one soldier can be seen with a Karabiner 98k "Kriegsmodell" rifle, a late war version of the Kar 98k intended to simplify production. Specifically this rifle is a "semi-Kriegsmodell" as it incorporates some simplification features (simpler screw retained barrel bands and no bayonet lug or cleaning rod) but not all (it still has the disk on the buttstock to aid in disassembly of the bolt).
Karabiner 98k Sniper
Shirai (Fan Bingbing), a Chinese guerrilla sniper, uses what appears to be a Karabiner 98k Sniper fitted with a ZF39 scope on a side rail mount. The choice of weapon is inaccurate, but since the film was shot in Latvia and the weapon is never seen in much detail, it is probably meant to stand in for the more accurate Type Zhongzheng Rifle.
M1 Garand
The US soldiers landing at Omaha Beach are mostly armed with the M1 Garand.
M1 Carbine
Several US soldiers are armed with the M1 Carbine. Some of the rifles are fitted with the anachronistic bayonet lug.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The majority of Red Army soldiers are armed with the Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle, including the Japanese and Korean draftees.
Machine Guns
Browning Automatic Rifle
A US soldier can be seen with a Browning Automatic Rifle sans bipod.
Browning M1919A6
A US soldier can be seen firing a Browning M1919A6 at Omaha Beach.
Degtyaryov DP-28
The Degtyaryov DP-28 is used by the Red Army turret gunners on the T26 tanks that attack the Japanese positions at Khalkhin Gol.
Maxim M1910/30
A Red Army blocking detachment use a Maxim M1910/30 to shoot retreating Soviets.
MG34
Wehrmacht soldiers use the MG34 during the Battle of Hedosk and in defense of Omaha Beach.
MG42
The MG42 is the main machine gun of the Wehrmacht. Note that it's appearance in the Battle of Hedosk is inaccurate; the battle is set in 1941, a year before the MG42 was adopted. Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) and Tatsuo Hasegawa (Joe Odagiri) use the MG42 during the D-Day landings.
Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun
Imperial Japanese soldiers fire a Type 92 Heavy Machine Gun at Red Army cavalrymen during the Battle of Khalkhin Gol, firing from a custom ammunition belt rather then the stripper clip.
Flamethrowers
Unknown Flamethrower
A Soviet tanker can be seen firing an unknown flamethrower from the turret of a T26.
Grenades
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
American soldiers are Omaha Beach use the Mk 2 Hand Grenade.
Type 97 Hand Grenade
Kim Jun-Shik (Dong-gun Jang) uses a Type 97 Hand Grenade to flush out a snipers nest in Mongolia.
