== Armalite AR-10 Assault Rifle ==
= Revolvers =
The [[Armalite AR-10]] is used to great effect by Joss Beaumont ([[Jean-Paul Belmondo]]) during the firefight in the african village. Obviously he likes to be prepared, since he must've stashed the disassembled rifle in a "goodie-box" in one of the huts before his arrest.

During the memorable last minutes of the film, two of Beaumont's ex-colleagues use a scoped assault rifle with a folding stock and an unusually large magazine. After some poking around on the internet, I *think* it's a SIG Manurhin SG-540 (license-built [[SIG SG 540]] in 5.56mm), but I'm not quite sure. Again: Please correct me if I'm wrong.
