	The character of ''Capitaine'' Phillipe Esclavier ([[Alain Delon]]) is seen using an [[Astra 600\|Astra Modelo 600]] pistol in numerous scenes in the film. While not a standard issue French pistol, the major filming location was in Spain, hence the ~~appearence~~ of a Spanish made pistol in the film. This is also true of the dozens of Spanish Mauser rifles and Star submachine guns seen throughout the film. More than likely the film's production crew had easier access to Spanish made firearms than the correct French military issue firearms.

	Korean War vintage (with bayonet lug) [[M1 Carbine\|M1 Carbines]] are seen being carried by French paratroops in a few scenes as well as being used by Mahidi ([[George Segal]]).

Thousands were supplied to the French by the United States after the end of the Second World War and used by the French in Indochina and Algeria to supplement French issued rifles. These carbines (along with the folding stock M1A1 variant) were, historically, ordered to be issued to the Colonial and Foreign Legion paratroops and proved to be extremely popular with them.
