Defiance is a 2008 World War II film starring Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber as brothers who decide to take the fight to the enemy during the German occupation of Poland while also protecting mass numbers of Jewish refugees. The film, based on a true story, was directed by Edward Zwick (The Last Samurai) and should be noted for the many World War II-era weapons seen in what appears to be near mint condition, which is correct considering the time frame (a rarity for the films).
The following weapons were used in the film Defiance (2008):
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Pistols
Walther P38
Tuvia Bielski (Daniel Craig) uses a Walther P38 as his sidearm. He gives it to Lilka Ticktin (Alexa Davalos) to protect herself during her food mission. Asael (Jamie Bell) also uses one to kill one German.
Tokarev TT-33
During the Soviet ambush, Zus (Liev Schreiber) uses a Tokarev TT-33 to execute a German officer and a soldier. Near the end of the film, he shoots the tank commander with the Tokarev. Lilka's sidearm is also a TT-33.
Revolvers

During the Nazi attack led by the milkman who gave the Nazis directions (forcing the Bielskis to abandon their first camp), Zus (Liev Schreiber) is seen firing a Turkish Mauser M38 in addition to the MP40 he is typically seen carrying, particularly when he shoots the milkman's arm.

Shotguns
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Zus (Liev Schreiber) keeps a 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun for protection and uses it when he goes into town seeking vengeance.

Machine Guns
Degtyarev DP

MG 34
At the end of the film, a German machine gun team is setting their MG 34, mounting it on a tripod, but Tuvia (Daniel Craig) takes them out from behind and uses the machine gun against the German infantry. The tank which he shoots at also has an MG 34 which is later removed by Aron Bielski (George MacKay). Earlier, during the Red Army ambush, a German soldier shoots it from a truck.

Near the end of the film, Isaac (Mark Feuerstein) attacks German soldiers with a bag of grenades.

F-1
The Otriad acquires a few F-1 hand grenades.
Trivia
