Companeros (original title Vamos a matar, compañeros) is a 1970 Italian-Germanan-Spanish spaghetti western directed by Sergio Corbucci and starring Franco Nero and Tomas Milian. The story takes place during the Mexican Revolution. Swedish arms dealer Yodlaf Peterson (Franco Nero) sells weapons to guerilla leader Gen. Mongo (José Bódalo) but the money that Mongo needs for the deal are locked in an indestructible bank safe. The only man who knows the combination is Prof. Xantos (Fernando Rey) who is held in prison in American town of Yuma. Peterson volunteers to rescue Xantos and bring him to Mongo who orders one of his men, El Vasco (Tomas Milian), to escort Petersen. The events are even more complicated after the involvement of a group of Xantos' loyal followers ("Xantists"), lead by Lola (Iris Berben). Meanwhile Petersen's old companion, turned bitter enemy, searches for him.
The following weapons were used in the film Greg-Z/Sandbox:
Handguns
Single Action Army
Single Action Army revolvers are used by numerous characters. Both "Artillery" and "Cavalry" models can be seen.
Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action (Spanish copy)
During the encounter in train one of Xantists is armed with a revolver that appears to be a Spanish copy of Smith & Wesson .44 Double Action. A strange feature of this revolver is a side-mounted ejector rod, a senseless thing on a top-break revolver. Maybe it was added on the screen gun to make it look more "Western-style".
Unidentified Colt revolver
A compact Colt revolver is carried by Yodlaf Peterson (Franco Nero) in several scenes.
Double Barreled Pistol
In the scene in train Lola (Iris Berben) wields a pair of double barreled pistols (or maybe sawed-off double barreled shotguns with pistol grips).
Campo Giro
A Campo Giro pistol is another of Yodlaf Peterson's (Franco Nero) handguns. During the encounter in train it is taken from Peterson by a young Xantist.
Rifles
1893 Spanish Mauser
Mexican government soldiers and some guerrillas are armed with 1893 Spanish Mauser rifles.
Garate El Tigre
Most guerrillas carry Garate El Tigre rifles, like in many other Spanish filmed western movies.
Machine Guns
Vickers
Several Vickers machine guns are seen in Peterson's railway carriage. Later one of them is used by Mongo's men in an attempt to open the safe.
Bergmann MG 15
A Bergmann MG 15 machine gun is also seen in Peterson's railway carriage.
