The Lookout

The Lookout (French title: Le Guetteur) is a 2012 French crime drama directed by Michele Placido. The film is about a relentless Police officer (Daniel Auteuil) who struggles to take down a high-end gang of bank robbers led by a former Secret-operations' marksman (Mathieu Kassovitz).

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

The following weapons are seen in the film The Lookout (Le Guetteur):

Handguns

SIG-Sauer Pro SP2022

This is Mattei's (Daniel Auteuil) weapon of choice. Most of the other Police officers are using it too. The SIG SP 2022 became the official French National Police service handgun in 2003, succeeding to the PAMAS G1. It is most notably seen in the opening sequence, during the bank-robbery.

SIG-Sauer Pro SP2022 - 9x19mm

Another Police officer (Audrey Ottaviano) with the SIG SP2022.

Note the Sig Pro inscription on the handle as Mattei tosses his weapon to Vincent (Mathieu Kassovitz).

Interesting detail: if you look closely, you can read the words "PROPRIETE DE L'ETAT" (Property of the State) engraved on the front of the slide.

SIG-Sauer Pro SP2009

A RAID member is seen using a SIG Pro SP2009. The RAID is the tactical unit of the French National Police, specialized in Domestic counter-terrorism and law enforcement.

SIG-Sauer P226

This is David's (Jérôme Pouly) sidearm and Vincent's main weapon after the bank shooting. However, there seems to be a continuity error: Vincent uses an earlier version of the SIG-Sauer P226 (without any rail) when he threatens Franck (Olivier Gourmet). A few minutes later, he is seen holding a more recent version of the gun, with a Picatinny rail.

SIG-Sauer P226 - 9x19mm.

Vincent holds his P226 at Franck's head. Note the absence of rail and the aspect of the gun, close to the "original" design.

SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm.

Vincent holding his P226R to Eric's head.

Glock 17

Meyer (Nicolas Briançon) carries a Glock 17 as his weapon of choice. Judging by the aspect of the gun and the absence of a rail, it seems to be a "Second Generation" model.

2nd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm.

Meyer pointing his Glock 17 at Vincent.

Beretta 92FS

Eric (Francis Renaud) carries a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon. One of Mitch's thugs is also briefly seen holdind a Beretta 92FS on Vincent.

Submachine Gun

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

A closer look at the handguard and the firing positions/selector.

Carbine

Romanian Draco SBR Carbine

David (Jérôme Pouly) seems to be using a Romanian AK Draco Carbine with a folded stock during the bank-robbery. It's a realistic weapon choice since most of the assault rifles used in crime operations in France are Eastern-european copies of AK type rifles.

Romanian Draco Carbine - 7.62x39mm.

David running to the car. Closer view of the folded stock.

Note that the carbine used in the movie has a slightly different sight and muzzle end than the one on the IMFDB picture.

Sniper Rifles

PGM Ultima Ratio Commando II

During the opening bank-robbery shootout, Vincent (Mathieu Kassovitz) uses a French PGM Ultima Ratio as his weapon of choice. The rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester and fed with a 10-round detachable box magazine. In this scene, Vincent deliberatly wounds the police officers instead of killing them. Besides the dramatic effect, this shows that his degree of skill and training is clearly above than that of an average bank robber. It's an appropriate rifle for a former top-level military assassin.

PGM Ultima Ratio Commando II - 7.62×51mm NATO.

Vincent firing his PGM Ultima Ratio from the roofs of Paris.

Vincent's rifle is mounted with a Schmidt & Bender scope, probably the 5-25x56 PM II/LP model.

SIG SG 550 Sniper Rifle

Toward the end of the film, Mattei gets a hold of a SIG SG 550 SR fitted with a folding bipod and an adjutable sniper buttstock. Its previous owner fired it full auto, but Mattei fires it semi-auto (probably not to hit any civilian).

SIG SG 550 SR - 5.56x45mm NATO.

Mattei gets hold of the rifle. Closer look at the buttstock.

DSR-Precision GmbH DSR-1

A RAID member is briefly seen holding a DSR-Precision DSR-1 rifle.
