The Army of Crime (French: L'Armée du crime) is a 2009 French war film directed by Robert Guédiguian. In 1944, during the German occupation of France, an ill-assorted group of resistance fighters, many of whom are foreign nationals, communists and Jews, fight a disorganized war against the Germans and their French collaboraters. Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian), is approached to lead despite his pacifism; circumstances force him to abandon his reluctance. The film is based on the Affiche Rouge (Red Poster) affair, where 23 prominent Resistance Fighters were executed after a show trial and their names, faces and actions in an attempt to discredit them as an "army of crime".
The following weapons were used in the film The Army of Crime:
Sidearms
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is the main sidearm of the French Resistance in the film, including Missak Manouchian (Simon Abkarian) and most notably Marcel Rayman (Robinson Stévenin).

Beretta M1934
Beretta M1934 is also used by Missak.
Mle 1892 Revolver

FN Model 1910
The FN Model 1910 is used by the Vichy French Police.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k

Submachine Guns
