Hunter Will Get You (USA release title; the original title is L'Alpagueur which is a French slang word for "bounty hunter") is a 1976 French crime movie directed by Philippe Labro. Jean-Paul Belmondo appears as a bounty hunter who is in pursuit of a ruthless criminal known as L'Epervier ("Sparrowhawk") (Bruno Cremer).

The following weapons are seen in the movie Hunter Will Get You (L'Alpagueur):


Revolvers

Pistols

Walther P38

A Walther P38 is L'Epervier's (Bruno Cremer) favoured weapon. It is used mostly with a large sound suppressor (definitely fake).
