Kerk's ([[Jacques Perrin]]) main weapon is the anachronistic [[MAS-49]] semi-auto rifle. Sometimes he uses the rifle with APX L806 sniper scope. This is probably standing for the early [[MAS-44|MAS-40]], which is really fell into the hands of the Resistance, but this happened only in 1944 (although it can be assumed that Kerk got his rifle earlier from some leaks, again if the above assumption is true). ''Note:'' two years earlier Jacques Perrin used MAS-49 with L806 scope in ''[[The 317th Platoon]]''.

Shock Troops (Un homme de trop ("One man too many" or "The Extra Man")) is a 1967 French-Italian war drama directed by Costa-Gavras. In Summer 1943 in the Southern France a group of Maquisards (Resistance fighters) attack the prison where Nazi hold the arrested Resistance leaders. Suddenly it appears that there is the extra man (Michel Piccoli) among the liberated people. Is he a German spy, intentionally put in prison cell, or just a victim of circumstances? The commander of the Resistance group Cazal (Bruno Cremer) doesn't want to sentence the innocent to death, but his second-in-command Jean (Jean-Claude Brialy) is sure that the man is the agent and demands the execution.
The following weapons were used in the film Shock Troops (Un homme de trop):

The group also has a single Maxim MG08 heavy machine gun. It is mounted on makeshift carriage. During the final battle the MG08 is manned by Lecocq (Patrick Préjean) and Passevin (Charles Vanel).
German troops use MG42 machine guns in several scenes. During the final battle the MG42 is top-mounted on the turret of M24 Chaffee, standing for German tank, and on Sd.Kfz. 251 half-track APC.
Another mortar, used by German troops, looks smaller and lacks bipod so it is hold by the crewmember. Such feature is typical for light mortars, like British 2-inch, but this one looks too large for 2-inch caliber.
An M3 Halftack APC, fitted with fake sloped armor on sides to make it resemble an Sd.Kfz. 251, is used by German troops. Such props are seen in many French war movies.
