The following weapons are featured in the 2011 film Rebellion :
Handguns Manurhin MR-73 The Manurhin MR-73 revolver is the standard sidearm of Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN) operatives, including Captain Philippe Legorjus (Mathieu Kassovitz ) . Legorjus uses it at several points in the film, most prominently during the finale. Note that the MR-73 Sport used on screen isn't accurate to the reality, GIGN members used MR-73 Gendarmerie (with different sights).
