Anachronisms:
Throughout the movie, many characters are seen utilizing firearms that were not in use at the time the film is set in. For instance, inside the castle, Indy and the guards make heavy use of MP-40 submachine guns, which were not introduced until 1940. The P-38 pistol is also used quite frequently, particularly by the Germans in the desert, and would have just been entering service in 1938. It is much more probable that the troops would have been using P.08 Luger pistols.
