The Dancing Gangster fires his Thompson. Too bad he doesn't see the cars packed with other mafioso behind him...

FN Model 22

An FN Model 22 is the preferred weapon of Charles (Charles Gérard), Simon's closest ally. He uses it to disable the car of French detectives chasing him and Simon's fiancée. Simon briefly holds one when shopping for a gun.

Smith & Wesson Model 36

A Smith & Wesson Model 36 is bought by Simon (Jean-Louis Trintignant, in his second role in a Claude Lelouch film) and used throughout the entire movie. It's worth noting that Simon loads blank cartridges in the revolver in the one scene where he actually fires it.
