Paper Tiger is a 1975 British adventure movie directed by Ken Annakin and starring David Niven as Walter Bradbury, a teacher of a teenage son of the Japanese ambassador (Toshirô Mifune) in a fictional South Asian state, named Kulagong. When the ambassador's son and his teacher are kidnapped by local rebels, the boy and the old man have to show courage and skills to save themselves. Some of the weapons depicted were chosen because of their availability in Malaysia (where the 'Asia' sequences were filmed).
The following weapons were used in the film Paper Tiger:

Soldiers of Kulagong army are armed with Heckler & Koch HK33 assault rifles. The exact model is most likely HK33E as the movie was filmed in Malaysia where HK33E is a standard army weapon.
A machine gun that looks like a Browning M1919 is mounted on the turret of an M8 Greyhound armoured car that appears in one of Bradbury's "war stories" as a German vehicle.
