Lawrence of Arabia (1962)Lawrence of Arabia David Lean and starring Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence.
The following firearms were seen in Lawrence of Arabia
Handguns Webley Mk.VI The British Webley Mk VI revolver is the main weapon of Major T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole ) throughout the film. Tafas (Zia Mohyeddin ), Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif ) and Auda abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn ) also are seen with the Webley Mk VI.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Webley Mk. VI Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lawrence tosses his Webley Mk.VI aside when he rests. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lawrence (Peter O'Toole ) offers his Webley Mk. VI as a gift to Tafas (Zia Mohyeddin ), who hesitantly accepts it. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lawrence uses his Webley during a confrontation with Gasim. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lawrence is caught up in a bloodlust and slaughters retreating Turks with his Webley Mk VI . Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lawrence furiously breaks open his Webley Mk.VI after he empties it on the Turks. Mauser C96 The German Mauser C96 is the weapon used by the Turkish officer to wound Lawrence during the takeover of the train. These guns can be seen in the hands of other characters, including the Turkish Bey (José Ferrer ) while in Deraa. Several Turkish officers during the attack on Aqaba can be seen using unidentified revolvers.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shellshocked Turkish officer shoots at Lawrence repeatedly, but is too disoriented to make a proper shot. Rifles & Muskets Lee-Enfield SMLE The Lee-Enfield SMLE rifle is used by the Arabs and British throughout the movie. Turkish soldiers also use these weapons in several scenes, interchanging with Mausers, presumably depending on what country the scenes were shot in (Jordan, Spain or Morocco) and the availability of the rifles. While likely not intentional, this is not entirely inaccurate as the Turks did re-issue the SMLEs captured at Gallipoli.
