: Max, I think the machinegun used during the Venice boat chase sequence was a British Sten gun. But I also have a question for the gun experts in this string, what were the rifles used by Captain Blumbart's Sepoy troops in the bridge sequence of Temple of Doom? -CP

As far as I remember the troops used the Lee Enfield Rifle MKIII. It's
actually a bolt action rifle used for military purpose in the calibre
.303 British. They used the 10-round detachable magazine. The position
of the bolt and the ease and smoothness of the action made this rifle
famous for the speed with which it can be fired. I think it was used
by the British Army in WWI and WWII.
Btw, thanks for answering my question concerning the machine gun...
