Rebellion (French title: L'ordre et la morale) is a 2011 French drama film directed by and starring Mathieu Kassovitz. Based on the events surrounding the Ouvéa cave hostage taking that occurred in April and May of 1988, Kassovitz plays a GIGN officer who attempts to seek a peaceful solution to the crisis while contending with pressure from the military and the government for a forceful resolution.
The following weapons are featured in the 2011 film Rebellion:
The Manurhin MR-73 revolver is the standard sidearm of Groupe d'Intervention de la Gendarmerie Nationale (GIGN) operatives, including Captain Philippe Legorjus (Mathieu Kassovitz) . Legorjus uses it at several points in the film, most prominently during the finale. Note that the MR-73 Sport used on screen isn't accurate to the reality, GIGN members used MR-73 Gendarmerie (with different sights).
A separatist uses an anachronistic MAS-G1 to threaten Legorjus, which became the standard issue in the Gendarmerie 4 years later and is not likely to be in the hands of the separatists.
Kanak separatists seize MAT-49 submachine guns after attacking a Gendarmerie camp. Officers guarding the Gendarme headquarters in the New Caledonian capital of Noumea are also seen with MAT-49s.
The Winchester Model 1300, known as the FN Model 1300 in Gendarmerie service, is used by several of the GIGN operatives while searching for the hostages and separatists. Legorjus uses one in the finale before discarding it in favor of his MR-73.
The FAMAS F1 is the most common weapon in the movie, and is used by virtually all of the French Army units, including the 11th Shock Parachutist Regiment (11e choc) and the Commando Hubert unit. The separatists also use a number of captured FAMAS rifles, using them to threaten the hostages and fire at attacking French security forces.
