The [[M1903 Springfield#1903A3 Springfield Rifle|M1903A3 Springfield]] rifles is seen in the hands of American troops during the World War I battle that runs backwards at the beginning of the film. The M1903A3 is annacronistic as A3 variants of the M1903 Springfield were made near World War 2 while this scene takes place in 1918. The older M1903 would be more accurate for that time rather than an M1903A3.
