Paths of Glory is a 1957 World War I film directed by Stanley Kubrick (The Killing, Full Metal Jacket, Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb, A Clockwork Orange) and stars Kirk Douglas as a French officer who defends three soldiers who are to be executed for cowardice as a result of a disastrous attempt to take a well-defended German position and a French general's desire to shift the blame.
The following weapons were used in the film Paths of Glory:
Revolvers
MAS Mle. 1892
The Mle 1892 Revolver is carried by several French officers and soldiers including Lieutenant Roget (Wayne Morris), Cpl. Philippe Paris (Ralph Meeker) and Pvt. Lejeune (Kem Dibbs). Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas) is briefly seen with this revolver, too, as he goes over the top but it then switches to a Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver. Major Saint-Auban (Richard Anderson) carries another Mle. 1892 in holster.
Smith & Wesson M1917
Colonel Dax (Kirk Douglas) carries what appears to be a Smith & Wesson M1917 Revolver as his sidearm.
Rifles
Lebel Mle. 1886
French soldiers are seen carrying Lebel 1886 rifles and firing them during the battle scenes. The three main defendants soldiers Corporal Philippe Paris (Ralph Meeker), Private Maurice Ferol (Timothy Carey) and Private Pierre Arnaud (Joe Turkel) can be seen with Lebel rifles during the inspection of Général Mireau (George Macready).
Gras Model 1874
Some French soldiers are seen with Gras Model 1874 rifles.
Wänzl 1854/67
The majority of French troops seem to use Austrian Wänzl 1854/67s during the charge on Hill 19. Maybe that’s because the movie was shot in Bavaria that got many of these rifles from Austria-Hungary in the late 1800s.
Mauser Gewehr 1898
French soldiers are also frequently seen using German Gewehr 98 Mauser rifles, probably due to the lack of available Lebel 1886 rifles.
Gewehr 1888/05
What appears to be a German Gewehr 1888/05 is seen carried by French soldiers.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
Some French soldiers use Russian Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifles.
Dreyse Model 1841
A Dreyse Infantry Rifle M1841 is briefly seen used by a French soldier in No Man's land.
Unknown Rifles
Several French soldiers use unknown rifles.
Machine Guns
Vickers Mk. I
French soldiers use British Vickers machine guns in the trenches.
Lewis Gun
A Lewis Gun is briefly seen held by one French soldier at the beginning of the attack.
Browning M1919
An anachronistic Browning M1919 is seen on the ground of the French trench. Stanley Kubrick himself is seen next to the Browning on a Promotional Picture.
Other
Citron Foug Mle. 1916
Lieutenant Roget throws a Citron Foug Mle. 1916 grenade and kills Pvt. Lejeune accidentally.
