The [[Armalite AR-10]] is used to great effect by Joss Beaumont ([[Jean-Paul Belmondo]]) during the firefight in the african village. Obviously he likes to be prepared, since he must've stashed the disassembled rifle in a "goodie-box" in one of the huts before his arrest.

During the memorable last minutes of the film, two of Beaumont's ex-colleagues use a scoped assault rifle with a folding stock and an unusually large magazine.
