Atlantis: The Lost Empire

__TOC__
=Pistols=
==Mauser C96==
Commander Rourke's second in command, Lieutenant Helga Katrina Sinclair, carries a Mauser C96 as her weapon of choice. She's often seen playing with it when bored and frequently rests her hand on it when nervous, before finally making use of the pistol during the film's climactic battle. Helga's C96 is depicted as having detachable magazines, which is a slight anachronism; C96-pattern designs with detachable magazines are known to have existed at least as early as late-WWI, however the film is set in 1914 (specifically, Milo's letter in the opening scene is dated October 11, 1914). Of note, Bergmann pistols, which feature a similar layout, did use detachable magazines in this era.
==DWM Marine-Modell 1904==
Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke carries a Marine-Modell 1904, the commercial version of the German Navy's P 04. In addition to being a thematically fitting choice for the commander of a naval ship (submarine) and for a WWI-setting antagonist, a Luger (or Parabellum, as it was known everywhere but the US) would indeed be an excellent choice in this time period of very early automatic pistols.
==Remington Double Derringer==
A Remington Double Derringer briefly appears in the hands of radio operator Wilhelmina Bertha Packard when the group reveals their true intentions. It's not seen after this, as Packard opts to carry her camera during the battle in the volcano.
==Sweet's pistol==
Dr. Joshua Strongbear Sweet, the expedition's chief medical officer, carries an unidentified pistol throughout the film; it remains in his holster even during the mercenary reveal scene and the ending battle. Due to its shape and grip design it is certainly an automatic rather than a revolver, and is rather large. Given Sweet's background/nationality and the limited options of the era, a full-size Colt pistol such as the Model 1902 would be most likely.
==Sweet's father's revolver==
Joshua Sweet's father, Moses Sweet, served as a "Buffalo Soldier" in the 24th Infantry Regiment. Joshua keeps a photograph of his parents on his person, in which his father is carrying a holstered revolver. Although not explicitly identifiable, Joshua being born in 1872 narrows the potential options.
==Flare pistol==
In addition to her C96, Helga Sinclair also carries a flare pistol. Its octagonal chamber is fittingly very German in design (notably like the Leuchtpistole Modell 1894), though the flaired muzzle is reminiscent of the Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk III*. She first uses the pistol to check the height of the volcano the group has fallen into, and later draws it as a last-ditch weapon during the battle at the same location.

=Submachine Guns=
==Fictional Maxim submachine gun==
Geologist Gaetan "Mole" Molière is seen with a submachine gun that seems to be based on the lMG 08 aircraft machine gun; it has been scaled down to SMG size and given a wood stock and drum magazine. The end result generally resembles the MP 18 and the 1920s/30s barrel-shroud-and-wood-stock submachine guns that it inspired (most especially the KP/-31 and PPD-40). Curiously, the gun doesn't appear in the final battle.
=Shotguns=
==Double barreled shotgun==
A double barreled shotgun is seen in the hands of Jebidiah Allardyce "Cookie" Farnsworth, the expedition's chef.

=Rifles=
==Lee-Enfield Mk III*==
Rourke's soldiers carry Lee-Enfield Mk III* rifles throughout the film (the retroactive No. 1 designation post-dates the Great War). Demolitions expert Vincenzo "Vinny" Santorini is also briefly seen with one as well, though he no longer has it by the time of the finale battle. Concept art for the film very specifically names the rifle ("LEE-ENFIELD MK. III* RIFLE").
=Machine Guns=
==Vickers Mk I==
Several Vickers machine guns are used by Rourke's forces. Aside from one scene, they are consistently depicted with an assistant gunner loading the belts, as one would expect. Many pieces of concept art for the film's vehicles (some of which appear in the final film, many of which do not) feature Vickers guns, with one identifying it as a Vickers by name.
==Lewis Mk I==
While onboard the Gyro-Evac blimp, Lyle Rourke arms himself with a Lewis Mk I, spraying rounds in Milo's direction before the gun is destroyed by a blast from Vinny's flying machine. The Whitmore Wing aircraft carried by the expedition are armed with a pair of Lewis guns, their stocks and pistol grips removed; these are not the aircraft-mounted Lewis Mk II as they retain the barrel shroud.

=Heavy & Vehicle-Mounted Weapons=
==Mortar==
Several mortars are used by Rourke's forces, including a larger one mounted on a truck. The mortars are used with time-fuze rounds as makeshift anti-air weapons against the Atlantean flying machines.
==Howitzer==
A WWI-era howitzer is used to blow a hole in the top of the dormant volcano, creating an escape route for the Gyro-Evac and Whitmore Wings.
==37mm SA 18==
A small tank clearly based on the Renault FT is seen being loaded onto the submarine Ulysses. It was originally planned for this tank to fight a large monster the group encounters along the highway to Atlantis, however that sequence was cut (they simply retreat and leave it alone the final film) and thus the tank would have been lost onboard one of the three Aqua-Evac transports destroyed by the Leviathan.
==Naval cannons==
The lair of the Leviathan, the enormous lobster-like machine which guards the entrance Atlantis, is littered with centuries of shipwrecks; many of these are from the age of sail and feature cannon gunports.
==Torpedo launchers==
The submarine Ulysses carries a defensive armament of six twin torpedo launchers in port, starboard, and dorsal turret positions. Fitting the steampunk/dieselpunk aesthetic, these are more akin to aircraft turrets in design.
=Whitmore's Collection=
Millionaire and former explorer Preston B. Whitmore keeps an enormous collection of artifacts in his mansion, including many firearms.
