Jacques Mesrine ([[Vincent Cassel]]) uses a [[Beretta 93R]] machine pistol during the casino robbery.
Asa with the last movie, Mesrine's pistol of choice is the [[M1911]]. In this scene he fires his pistol right in front of his accomplices ear, temporarily deafening him. The scene is shot with high speed film and allows us to see the pistol up close and in action.
