A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais): Difference between revisions
A Gang Story (French Title: Les Lyonnais/The Lyonnais) is a 2011 French crime drama directed by Olivier Marchal. Loosely based on a true story, the film is about a former bank robber named Edmond "Momon" Vidal (Gérard Lanvin) who is forced to look into his past as the leader of the most notorious armed robbery gangs of the early 1970s when his best friend and former partner in crime (Tchéky Karyo) comes out of hiding to seek his help.
The following weapons are seen in the film A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais):
The Colt M1911A1 is the main weapon of Serge Suttel (Tchéky Karyo), used by him in both the present day and in flashbacks of his earlier years as a bank robber. Christo (Daniel Duval) uses a M1911A1 with a long slide while protecting Serge's daughter Lilou.
SIG P210
Momon (Gérard Lanvin) uses a SIG P210 with adjustable sights as his weapon of choice.
SIG-Sauer P228
One of the police officers who is escorting Suttel to the hospital after he attempts to kill himself while in custody has a SIG-Sauer P228 in a chest holster. Other officers led by High Commissioner Braunier (Patrick Catalifo) are also armed with P228s in the finale.
Beretta Cougar
Diego (Pierre-Andre Gilard) uses a Beretta Cougar while freeing Suttel from police custody at a hospital.
CZ-75B
A CZ-75B with an engraved slide is used by Zerbib (Laurent Fernandez), a gangster seeking revenge after being ripped off by Suttel.
Joan Chavez (François Levantal), leader of the first robbery gang that Momon is involved with, uses a Remington 870 without the folding stock and an extended magazine tube during their heists.

Members of Momon's first robbery gang attempt to kill him and his family with an Uzi when he decides to quit the gang. Later, one of the Lyonnais uses an Uzi during an armored car heist.

The gangsters also use a M1A1 Thompson during their attempt to kill Momon.
