![]() Yes, that is completely ridiculous (though also awesome), but all of the firearms used in this WWII espionage film, starring Richard Burton and Clint Eastwood, are period accurate. Remember when we were talking about the unrealistic use of firearms in a war movie? How about the Clint Eastwood duel where he wields a pair of MP40s, mowing down Nazi troops? We don’t want to ruin the best part of the movie for you! Where Eagles Dare ![]() Oh, and beware of spoilers in both the descriptions and in the clips of the films. Here are some of the most famous firearms you can find in war films! The two most popular settings for wartime movies tend to be World War II and Vietnam, each war utilizing completely different weapons from different eras. Unlike in action movies where firearms are basically magic with unlimited ammo and perfect aim, firearms in war films usually reflect the gritty and horrible reality of what it was like on the ground (with some exceptions, which we will be mentioning soon!)Īlthough you could technically classify a movie like Braveheart as a “wartime movie”, we are obviously going to be focusing on far more recent wars. Outside of westerns, war movies are probably where firearms make the most frequent, and realistic, appearances on the silver screen.
