When the infiltration team is in the cave, they are carrying lever action Winchester 30-30 rifles. This rifle was never issued to the Army, Navy or Marines field forces. The possible reason for this choice of rifle was that it was a popular pre-war choice by shooters all over the world including the Japanese.By broadcasting in the Japanese language the American was trying to give the illusion that it was native spies who were doing the reporting. If the landing team had to use the rifles the Japanese would not think they were dealing with American infiltrators which the sound of military firearms would of gave away. Through out military history It was not unusual for special missions to use non-military weapons.
