=Rifles and Carbines=
==MAS-36==
The [[MAS-36]] is used by almost all Vichy French soldiers. The hooded front sight indicates that these are second type rifles produced after WWII.

A anachronistic MAS-36/51 is also seen.

[[Image:CSJMas3651.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The muzzle of an anachronistic MAS-36/51 is briefly seen when French soldiers take rifles from hiding places.]]

==Karabiner 98k==
Very few German soldiers are armed with rifles. No shots afford a clear look at the rifles; they could be [[Mauser Gewehr 1898]]s, or more likely [[Karabiner 98k]]s based on the profile.

[[Image:CSJKar98-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier advances with a Karabiner 98k in hand.]]

==M1 Carbine==
US Army scout soldiers who arrive at the French camp are armed with post-WWII [[M1 Carbine]]s with bayonet lugs.

=Submachine Guns=
==MAS-38==
The Vichy French Army is equipped with [[MAS-38]] submachine guns, but they are never seen fired.
[[Image:Mas38 1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MAS-38 -  7.65x20mm Longue]]

[[Image:CSJMas38-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A French sergeant is seen with a MAS-38 when patrolling.]]

==MP40==
The majority of German soldiers are armed with the [[MP40]], although in real life, most German soldiers would have been armed with the Kar98k. During the final battle, it's the only weapon fired by German forces. 
[[File:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MP40 - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:CSJMP40-6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German officers salute the French flag. The soldier on the left is armed with an MP40 without blank adaptor.]]

[[Image:CSJMP40-5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German soldiers guarding French POWs. Note the blank adaptor.]]

=Machine Guns=
==FM 24/29==
The [[FM 24/29]] is the primary support weapon used by French troops, principally used by NCOs. The Vichy French Army wasn't allowed by armistice convention to have heavy machine guns.

[[Image:CSJFM2429-4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A French soldier guns down a German soldier with his 24/29.]]

==MG 34==
A motorcycle side-car is equipped with what appears to be an [[MG 34]] when the French company crosses paths with German soldiers near the beginning of the movie. The shot, however, is not clear enough to be sure.
[[Image:mg-34.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG 34 with front and rear sights folded down - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]
[[Image:CSJMG34.jpg|thumb|none|600px|German soldiers salute the French officer. A probable [[MG 34]] is mounted on the side-car.]]

==MG 34 Panzerlauf==
An [[MG 34 Panzerlauf]] is used by German troops in an infantry support role.

[[Image:CSJUnknowMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MG 34 Panzerlauf used by Germans.]]

==MG42==
When the German ultimatum comes to pass, both sides stand ready to fight. An [[MG42]] in a machine gun nest is seen on the German side.
[[Image:MG42.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]
[[Image:CSJMG42andGrenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The [[MG42]] in a German MG nest.]]

==Browning M2 Heavy Barrel==
A US half-track is equipped with four [[Browning M2 Heavy Barrel]]s in an M45 Quadmount. At the end of the movie, a French and US soldier try to shoot down a German plane, thus provoking the battle.
[[Image:BrowningM2_plain.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG]]

[[Image:CSJM2-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|US soldiers shoot at a German plane.]]

=Handguns=
==Mle 1892 Revolver==
Some [[Mle 1892 Revolver]] are seen but never used.

==Walther P38==
The Maréchal des Logis (sergeant) Charles Bourgeon ([[Raymond Pellegrin]]), carries a [[Walther P38]] as his sidearm and uses it to kill a German soldier.
[[File:P38Black.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Walther P38 WWII dated with black grips - 9x19mm]]

[[Image:CSJP38-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun jams after he kills the German.]]

==Ruby==
Captain de Lambérieux ([[Paul Meurisse]]) carries a holster for a [[Ruby]] pistol. No pistol is ever drawn and it is unknown if there is even a pistol in the holster.
[[File:Gabilondo-Ruby.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Gabilondo Ruby - .32 ACP]]
[[Image:CSJRuby.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Captain de Lambérieux salutes the Nazi flag, to give back the respect shown when the Germans saluted the French flag. The French NCOs refuse to do it.]]

=Grenades and Explosives=
==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
During the final battle, Germans are seen using [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] against the French troops.

[[Image:CSJGrenade2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bourgeon takes cover from another grenade behind a dead German soldier he shot with his P38.]]

==DF 37 hand grenade==
At the end of the film, a French soldier who successfully escaped works with a young civilian to ambush a German car by throwing [[DF 37 hand grenade]]s.
[[Image:DF37-hg.JPG|thumb|none|250px|DF 37/46 hand grenade with Mle 1935 fuse]]
[[Image:CSJGrenade3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The French soldier and a young civilian prepare to ambush a German car with [[DF 37 hand grenade]]s.]]

==Mortar Mle 27/31==
What appears to be a [[Mortier de 81 mm Mle 27/31]] is in the possession of Vichy forces. It is never used, however, as a soldier tells his sergeant they got the wrong shells.
[[File:Brandt-Mle-27-31.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mortier de 81 mm Mle 27/31]]
[[Image:CSJMortar.jpg|thumb|none|600px|During the dispatching of the weapons on the perimeter, a soldier is seen with a [[Mortier de 81 mm Mle 27/31]] on his shoulder]]
[[Image:CSJRevolver2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Over the revolvers we can see mortars. Under the revolvers are the plate bases.]]
[[Image:CSJMortarShell.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The soldier displays mortar shells incompatible with their weapon system. However, this appears to be an 81mm shell that would indeed fit in the Mle 27/31.]]

==Fake Mines==
In order to deter enemy vehicles from crossing the bridge and generally waste the time of German forces, French soldiers lay fake mines made from plates.
