The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006)

The following guns were used in this film:


Lee Enfield SMLE No. 1 Mk. III

The Short Magazine Lee Enfield is the standard rifle of the British army, Black & Tans, Auxiliaries and later the Free State's National Army. It is also the most commonly used rifle by the IRA.

Mauser Kar 98 K

A Mauser Karabiner 98K is seen in several scenes in the film - an anachronism as the 98K was not introduced until 1935, and the film is set in 1920-1922. The armorer likely ran out of First World War Mausers.
