The Mexican Revolution, was attended with advanced armament, including a MG 42 8O
It was not necessary to do this, I think.

In Movies..who says you have to have the right period equipment to tell a story????
After all unless there were those in the audience who were either there or were scholars who care...why should audience care about facts!! :lol: :roll: after all in the movies the charcther is only killed off when the audience wants him to be...or Not {I once saw a alternative movie ending clip in which the gangster heros are killed Off....but wasnt used because the audience didnt like it!}
Indeed I woudlnt be suprized if in a war of the Spanish AMerican War of 1898..the guns used are from the War OF 1812..after all both these wars occured in the 19th Century...RIGHT RIGHT?? :P :lol:
