Carillons Sans Joie is a 1962 French World War II movie directed by Charles Brabant. In 1942 amidst Operation Torch, a Vichy French Army unit is sent to keep a bridge and deny access to Allied and Axis troops. Lead by Captain de Lambérieux, he has to buy time as a German armored unit approaches, intent on capturing their position.
The following weapons were used in the film Carillons Sans Joie:
Rifles and Carbines
MAS-36
The MAS-36 is used by almost all Vichy French soldiers. The hooded front sight indicates that these are second type rifles produced after WWII.
A anachronistic MAS-36/51 is also seen.
Karabiner 98k
Very few German soldiers are armed with rifles. No shots afford a clear look at the rifles; they could be Mauser Gewehr 1898s, or more likely Karabiner 98ks based on the profile.
M1 Carbine
US Army scout soldiers who arrive at the French camp are armed with post-WWII M1 Carbines with bayonet lugs.
Submachine Guns
MAS-38
The Vichy French Army is equipped with MAS-38 submachine guns, but they are never seen fired.
MP40
The majority of German soldiers are armed with the MP40, although in real life, most German soldiers would have been armed with the Kar98k. During the final battle, it's the only weapon fired by German forces.
Machine Guns
FM 24/29
The FM 24/29 is the primary support weapon used by French troops, principally used by NCOs. The Vichy French Army wasn't allowed by armistice convention to have heavy machine guns.
MG34
A motorcycle side-car is equipped with what appears to be an MG34 when the French company crosses paths with German soldiers near the beginning of the movie. The shot, however, is not clear enough to be sure. An MG34 Panzerlauf is used by German troops in an infantry support role.
MG42
When the German ultimatum comes to pass, both sides stand ready to fight. An MG42 in a machine gun nest is seen on the German side.
Browning M2 Heavy Barrel
A US half-track is equipped with four Browning M2 Heavy Barrels in an M45 Quadmount. At the end of the movie, a French and US soldier try to shoot down a German plane, thus provoking the battle.
Handguns
Mle 1892 Revolver
Some Mle 1892 Revolver are seen but never used.
Walther P38
The Maréchal des Logis (sergeant) Charles Bourgeon (Raymond Pellegrin), carries a Walther P38 as his sidearm and uses it to kill a German soldier.
Ruby
Captain de Lambérieux (Paul Meurisse) carries a holster for a Ruby pistol. No pistol is ever drawn and it is unknown if there is even a pistol in the holster.
Grenades and Explosives
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
During the final battle, Germans are seen using Model 24 Stielhandgranate against the French troops.
DF 37 hand grenade
At the end of the film, a French soldier who successfully escaped works with a young civilian to ambush a German car by throwing DF 37 hand grenades.
Mortar Mle 27/31
What appears to be a Mortier de 81 mm Mle 27/31 is in the possession of Vichy forces. It is never used, however, as a soldier tells his sergeant they got the wrong shells.
Fake Mines
In order to deter enemy vehicles from crossing the bridge and generally waste the time of German forces, French soldiers lay fake mines made from plates.
Other
Artillery
German troops use artillery against the French position.
