Paths of Glory
Paths of Glory is a 1957 World War I film directed by Stanley Kubrick (The Killing, Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb , A Clockwork Orange) and stars Kirk Douglas as a French officer who defends three soldiers who are to be executed for cowardice as a result of a disastrous attempt to take a well-defended German position and a French general's desire to shift the blame.
The following weapons were used in the film Paths of Glory:
Mle 1892 Revolver

Lebel 1886
French soldiers are seen carrying Lebel 1886 rifles and firing them during the battle scenes.
Gewehr 98
French soldiers are also frequently seen using German Gewehr 98 Mauser rifles, probably due to the lack of available Lebel 1886 rifles.
Maxim MG08
What appears to be a Maxim MG08 is briefly seen in the trench that Dax returns to when he wants to find out why the men have not advanced.
Vickers
A French soldier can be briefly glimpsed with a Vickers in the trenches.
