Outside the Law is a 2010 French-Algerian film and the follow-up to Days of Glory, set between 1945 and 1962. Three Algerian brothers are separated after their father is killed in the 1945 Sétif massacre (the film's depiction of it caused some controversy). Abdelkadar is jailed in France for participating in demonstrations, Messaoud enlists in the French Army as a paratrooper and is sent to Indochina, and Saïd moves with his elderly mother to Paris, where he makes his fortune in the shady underground of Pigalle. Eventually the three brothers are reunited, where they get involved in the struggle for Algerian independence.
It should be noted that, despite sharing the same character names and actors as Days of Glory, the movie should be considered a standalone, rather then direct, sequel.
The following weapons appear in the film Outside the Law:
Sidearms
Browning Hi-Power
Colonel Faivre (Bernard Blancan) and his fellow Gendarmerie inspectors carry the Browning Hi-Power.
Colt M1911A1
Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) and Ali (Assaad Bouab) use the Colt M1911A1.
MAB Model D Type II
A French Gendarmerie uses the MAB Model D Type II during the Sétif massacre.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
The French police inspector that Abdelkadar assassinates is armed with an three inch barrel Smith & Wesson Model 10 in a shoulder holster. After he is killed, Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) takes it and uses it during the escape.
Walther P38
Saïd (Jamel Debbouze) carries a Walther P38. This might be a nod to his role in Days of Glory, where his character also carried a P38.
Walther PPK
Abdelkadar (Sami Bouajila) uses a Walther PPK to kill a French police inspector.
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
FLN guerrillas use the M1A1 Thompson.
MAT-49
French Gendarmerie and FLN guerrillas use the MAT-49.
MP40
FLN guerrillas, including Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) use the MP40 during a firefight with the Gendarmerie.
PPS-43
Messaoud (Roschdy Zem) uses the PPS-43 when the FLN ambush a convoy of Harki's.
Sten Mk II
FLN guerrillas use the Sten Mk II.
Shotguns
12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun
French shopkeepers in Algeria shoot at protesters with the 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun.
Rifles
Fusil Modèle 1916 Carabine
A French shopkeeper shoots at demonstrators with a Fusil Modèle 1916 Carabine. French riot police carry them at the end of the movie.
MAS-36
French Army troops and Algerian Gendarmerie are armed with the MAS-36 rifle.
Norinco Type 56
Vietminh troops are armed with the Norinco Type 56. This is an error, as the Type 56 wasn't developed until after the battle of Dien Bien Phu, and because there is no evidence that the Vietminh used any AK pattern rifles during the Indochina wars.
Machine Guns
Browning M1919A4
French soldiers use a jeep-mounted Browning M1919A4 during the Sétif massacre.
