Are the weapons in that movie period-authentic?

It depends on the timeline in the Indy universe. The P38 used in "Last Crusade" didn't start reaching the troops until 1939. In the same movie, the bad guys are using MP-40s, which only started to appear in 1941. However, the weapon also appeared in "Raiders", which took place in 1935/36, if I remember correctly.

Just after that last reply, we took a VEY major hit in THE core router of the entire hospital system. After changing our phone greeting to "don't call us, we know the whole system is hosed", I spent the next five hours paging people, relaying messages, and rousting techs out of bed.

If it happened at 11AM instead of 11PM, it would have been far worse. Even so, I'm reminded of Cannoneer No.4's tagline, I've lost turret power; I have my nods and my .50. Hooah. I will stay until relieved. White 2 out.

Raiders was set in '36 and "Last Crusade" in '38.

So this was the gun?
