Some of the British and German weapons used from the original movie in '77. One of the light sabers was based on the Number 3 British rifle grenade.
Before they remastered the films and cleaned them up, you could see empty brass casings all over the place from firefights. They used blank adapted weapons so the special effects people knew when someone fires and where to add laser bursts.
Enfield rifles, Lewis guns, German MG15s and MG34s, and Sterling's in these shots.
