The classic film A Clockwork Orange (directed by Stanley Kubrick) has really very few firearms in the film. And those that appear are rather incidental to the story. For instance, all depictions of Law enforcement in Britain (in the 1960s) rarely show them carrying firearms. This also goes for the Prisons & Corrections Officers.
The firearms seen in the movie A Clockwork Orange include the following...
Winchester Model 1897 shotgun
Used by the HM Prison Guards during the Ludevico Project visit, when the Prison is toured by the Minister. Only during this VIP visit do we ever see the Prison guards with guns.
Webley Revolver
Though never seen, Alex's former "droog" friends who become police officers both have revolvers in leather holsters. It is assumed that they are a Webley revolver variant.
Karabiner 98
During the Ludevico Treatment, Alex is forced to watch scenes of violence with Nazi scenes containing WW2 battles. Despite being a montage of World War 2 combat, most of the fighting footage is either of aerial bombings by Stukas or Russian front footage from Panzers. There is only one stock footage shot that has any sort of firearm visible. It is a rather famous one of German soldiers kicking in a door, wielding K98 Rifles.
