Pan's Labyrinth
Pan's Labyrinth (El Laberinto del Fauno in Spanish) is a 2006 dark fantasy film set in Francoist Spain shortly after the Civil War. Along with her pregnant mother, young Ofelia moves into the house of her stepfather, Captain Vidal (Sergi López), commander of the local Guardia division. Ofelia meets a mysterious Faun in the eponymous Labyrinth, who gives her three tasks so she can prove herself to be a long-lost princess reincarnated as a mortal. Meanwhile, the coldly authoritarian Vidal rages a war with Spanish Maquis fighters in the surrounding woods, the last remnants of the defeated Republicans.
The following weapons were used in the film Pan's Labyrinth:
Pistols
Luger P08
Captain Vidal (Sergi López) carries the Luger P08 as his weapon in the film. In one notable scene, when Vidal is executing wounded prisoners after a battle with the Maquis, one of the wounded keeps pushing away the Luger with his hand, until Vidal finally shoots him through the palm.
Astra 400
Garcés (Manolo Solo), one of Vidal's Lieutenants, uses an Astra 400 in the film.
FN Browning 1903
Serrano (César Vea), one of Vidal's Lieutenants, carries what appears to be an FN Browning 1903. After defeating a Maquis cell in battle, Vidal disarms a wounded fighter of this FN 1903.
Walther P38
One of the Maquis Fighters carries a Walther P38.
Webley Mk IV
Pedro (Roger Casamajor), the Maquis leader, carries a Webley Mk IV in the film.
Submachine Guns
Bergmann MP35/I
One of the Spanish Maquis carries a Bergmann MP35/I.
Sten Mk II
A Sten Mk II can be seen lying by a dead Resistance fighter after Vidal's forces eliminate a Maquis cell.
Rifles
1893 Spanish Mauser
Both Spanish Guardia soldiers and their Maquis counterparts carry 1893 Spanish Mauser rifles. These appear to be the full-length weapons, rather then the shortened Mauser Oviedo 1916.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I
Several Maquis carry the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I in the film.
Spanish Mauser 1895 Carbine
Several Maquis fighters and Guardia soldiers carry Spanish Model 1895 Mauser сarbines.
Shotguns
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
Several Spanish Maquis fighters carry 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotguns.
Single Barreled Shotgun
Sergeant Bayona (José Luis Torrijo) takes a Single Barreled Shotgun from an old farmer and gave it to Garcés (Manolo Solo).
Trivia
None of the guns in this film are ever actually fired. At the time of production, a drought was taking place, and the production team was not allowed to use blanks or even squibs. Hence, all those effects are digital. However, since Hellboy, it seems they have remembered to include actions cycling, which is also done digitally.
Director Guillermo del Toro considers this film as a "spiritual sequel" to his 2001 film The Devil's Backbone.
