The following guns were used in the movie Schindler's List

Schindler's List(1993)












Karabiner 98k

German soldiers can be seen with Karabiner 98ks during the cleaning of the ghetto and during the Jews' internment in the Płaszów concentration camp.

Karabiner 98k - German manufacture 1937 date - 7.92x57mm Mauser
A man tries to stop an SS trooper from shooting an escaping boy, only to be shot himself moments later.
The same trooper eventually shoots the boy after he is caught by two of his fellow SS troopers, but is admonished for ignoring basic firearms safety. Note the bent bolt handle.
SS men test the penetrative powers of the 7.92x57mm Mauser round. This mimics a scene from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, a MUCH more light-hearted film about Nazis by Steven Spielberg. The bullet is able to go through five of the men, the remaining two are finished off with pistol shots to the head.
Amon Goethe uses a K98K while investigating the theft of a chicken. Note the bent bolt handle.

Walther P38

A Walther P38 is only seen in one scene, when Goethe has to dig up and then burn the bodies from the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto. One of his men feigns madness and fires into the mass of burning corpses.

Walther P38 pistol (manufactured at the Mauser Factory) - World War Two dated - 9x19mm
One of Goethe's men fires into the mass of burning corpses.

Mauser rifle with straight bolt handle

Some of the Germans are seen with Mauser rifle with straight bolt handles instead of K98K, which have bent bolt handles.

This is possibly the type of rifle used.
SS troops deploy to force Schindler's Jews to shovel snow. Note the straight bolt handle on the rifle on the right.


MP40

Some of the Nazis executing Jews in the apartment building are using MP40 smg's.

MP40 9x19mm
Some of Schindler's Jews are herded from their homes.

An SS trooper with his MP40 during the liquidation of the Krakow ghetto.

MG34

An MG34 is seen mounted on a motorcycle sidecar.

MG34 7.92x57mm Mauser with 75-round ammo drum
An MG34 in a sidecar.

Luger P08

The Luger P08 appears to be the sidearm of choice in this film. All executions by pistol are done with Lugers. The Lugers used had to be flashpaper guns, and were likely retained in later scenes for continuity reasons.

Luger P08 9x19mm.
File:SL P08 1.jpg
An SS trooper executes an ailing woman with a Luger.
Goethe attempts to shoot the rabbi for inefficiency. The pistol misfires at first, and then Goethe removes and checks the magazine, pulls back on the toggle bolt (ejecting a round) and tries to fire again, with the same result. Barring an act from God, there's probably something wrong with the firing pin (as speculated by Goethe's men.)
Goethe executes one of twenty-five men to warn against future escape attempts. Notice the weird muzzle-flash, indicating that these are probably flash paper guns.

Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer Sporter

Amon Goeth (Ralph Fiennes) uses a Steyr Mannlicher-Schoenauer fitted with a scope to kill Jews in the labor camp.

Mannlicher-Schoenauer Sporter with Scope
A close-up of Goethe's rifle as he "motivates" the workers in his camp.

CZ 27

During the scene where Goeth tries to execute Rabbi Lewartow for not making enough hinges, his Luger keeps misfiring. Goeth takes out a CZ 27, which will not fire either.

Czech CZ27 - 7.65mm
Goethe pulls a CZ27 pistol from his pocket after his Luger misfires. It's surprising that a concentration camp commander would feel the need to have a backup pistol.
Goethe is frustrated that his backup pistol won't finish the job either. He repeatedly racks the slide, but as no rounds are ejected, the pistol is probably just empty.

Unknown revolver

In a quick editing mistake, when Goethe and his lieutenants walk away after failing to execute Lewartow, they pick up a revolver from the ground, supposedly discarded by Goethe when it wouldn't fire. The pistol is not seen in the scene prior to being picked up.

The CZ27 magically morphs into a rather large revolver.
The revolver after Goethe drops it on the ground. It's possible that the crew switched to a rubber gun to avoid dropping the CZ27, which is probably pretty rare nowadays, and a rubber copy is unlikely to exist.

Mosin Nagant M91/30

Two German soldiers can be seen with Mosin Nagant M91/30s in the camp while rounding up Jews.

Mosin Nagant M91/30 - 7.62x54R
