He had the nickname "Two Guns" as he carried matching Colt Single Action Army revolvers. Patton gav...

Star Z45
Many German soldiers carry the Spanish Star Z45 submachine gun, (with a MP40barrel attached), as a stand-in for the genuine German MP40 in some scenes.
M1903 Springfield
General Omar Bradley (Karl Malden) carries an M1903 Springfield in some scenes. Some of the American soldiers carry M1903 Springfieldrifles into battle.

M20 "Super Bazooka"
What appears to be an M20 "Super Bazooka"is used by Patton's troops (Like the American tanks in the film, the M20 would not be correct for the time period).

Flamethrower
A German soldier uses a Flamethower to take out an American half-track during the Battle of the Bulge.
M48 "Patton" Tanks
The tanks used in the film to represent German armor are in reality anachronistic US made M48's, also known as the "Patton". These were likely on loan from the Spanish Army, who provided a variety of military equipment for the film. These tanks were painted in desert camouflage with German markings for the production. The tanks also were briefly seen as American armor as well.
