The Brain (Le cerveau) is a 1969 French crime comedy directed by Gérard Oury and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Bourvil as two criminals who plan to rob a train that carries a large sum of cash, without knowing that the criminal mastermind "The Brain" (David Niven) has the same idea.
The following weapons were used in the film The Brain:
Revolvers
Colt Official Police
When Frankie Scannapieco (Eli Wallach) looks for his sister in Paris, he carries a Colt Official Police revolver with pearl grips.

Submachine Guns
M1928A1 Thompson
Belgian MPs (Robert Dalban, Raoul Delfosse and a number of uncredited ones), guarding the money in the train, are armed with M1928A1 Thompson SMGs. The Brain's henchmen are also seen with Thompsons. During the hunt for The Brain in the ruins Frankie Scannapieco (Eli Wallach) is armed with M1928A1 that is fitted with drum magazine and a foregrip to look more "mobster style".

L1A1
An L1A1 is seen in hands of a British Queen's Guard soldier in the opening scene.
Various long guns
In the final scene US police officers are seen with various rifles and/or shotguns. Due to large distance they cannot be identified.
