PPSh-43 Submachine Gun
Used during the revolt, it appears to have a wooden stock. Since the PPSh-43 submachine gun was not issued in the numbers of the PPsH-41, one wonders where the Jewish prisoners got the gun.
Maxim MG-08 Machine Gun
Rather unusual choice for a belt fed in this time period, German soldiers bring up several Maxim Machine guns to fight the rebellion at the death camp.
Karabiner 98k
Some of the SS guards can be seen having Karabiner 98k during the revolt in the camp.
MP38
Some of the NCOs are seen carrying and firing the MP38 in the film.
MP40
Some of the SS guards can be seen having MP40s during the revolt in the camp.
Walther P38 Non-gun
Also referred to as a 'flash paper gun' these blank fire only weapons are used when in close proximity to an actor. Seen in this film in the several scenes where SS guards are executing prisoners. Usually the camera films them from a distance or odd angles to disguise the gun flash's different appearance from a real gun firing blanks.
Walther P38
All German officers and NCOs are equipped with Walther P38s. Actually an inaccuracy in the film is that the P38 is really common, even in the hands of enlisted men, which is completely incorrect.
In a somewhat weird sequence, SS-Oberscharfuhrer Eric Muhsfeldt (Harvey Keitel) can be seen using a Walther P38 to kill a girl at the end of the movie as other SS guards stand by and looked perplexed.
