Handguns

Beretta 93R

Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) is shown using a Beretta 93R machine pistol during the casino robbery. This is a fantastic pistol, so I'm showing a lot of photos of the muzzle blasts.

M1911

As with the last movie, Mesrine's pistol of choice is the M1911. In this scene he fires his pistol right in front of his accomplices ear, temporarily deafening him. The scene is shot with high speed film and allows us to see the pistol up close and in action.

These last two are undoubtly Hi-Powers, man BeardedHoplite 01:06, 4 September 2010 (UTC) Thanks, always get confused between them - though I see the base of the handle is the giveaway.

Luger P08

Just before his condamnation at the Compiègne courthouse, Mesrine asks to go to the toilet. A Luger P08 is hidden in the toilet flush, and Mesrine will use it to escape the courthouse.

Manuhrin MR-73

A three inch barreled Manuhrin MR-73 "Defense" with fixed or duty sights is seen used akimbo with an anachronistic Beretta 92FS by a policeman when spying Mesrine before killing him. An original Beretta 92 would have been correct.

When escaping the Prison de la Santé (litteraly Prison of the Good Health), a random convict escapes with them, and takes a MAT-49 submachine gun from prison guard. It is also seen in the hands of a policeman when blocking the road in order to find Mesrine.

Rifle

AKMS

AKMS's are used in two different scenes, one time by François Besse during the Deauville casino shootout, and one time by Charlie Bauer against Jacques Dallier. This weapon is distinguished by its slanted muzzle brake, front sight, and bulged handguard.

AKS

Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) is briefly seen with an AKS in one scene while he gets into a car. It appears to not be the same used by Charlie Bauer, mostly because of a continuity error.
