Was it just me or did the crew of the venture have a whole lot of Mosin Nagant 91/30?

That along with Tommy guns and the captain with a Luger or Walther?

The rifles seen in the films are

the Gewehr 98, the Germans rifle from WW1 the rear 'Lange Vizier' sight is unmistakable.

Note the straight bolt and very distinctive sight, as well as the length of the barrel between the front and rear bands

I haven't seen the film but i noticed in the trailer, as i own a G98 myself (the one in the picture). the expedition certainly has excellent choice in Rifles.

here's the wiki, which is correct

yea def gew 98s, and it was strange in the early previews i saw them using no1 mk3 enfields but they must have replaced them or something, and the captian was using a luger that kinda looked like an arty luger with long barrel, dont really remmeber tho
