Unidentified revolver

In the opening scene Comissioneer Mattei (Bourvil) carries a snub nose revolver.

Various pistols

Pistols are seen in holsters of gendarmes. The holsters appear to be Mle 1948GT2 so the pistols themselves are supposed to be MAC Mle 1950 but it's only a guess.

Submachine Guns

MAT-49

During the manhunt for Vogel MAT-49 SMGs are seen in hands of several gendarmes.
