The Lookout (French title: Le Guetteur) is a 2012 French crime drama directed by Michele Placido. The film is about a relentless Police officer (Daniel Auteuil) who struggles to take down a high-end gang of bank robbers led by a former Secret-operations' marksman (Mathieu Kassovitz).

The following weapons are seen in the film The Lookout (Le Guetteur):
Handguns
SIG-Sauer Pro SP2022
This is Mattei's (Daniel Auteuil) weapon of choice. Most of the other Police officers are using it too. The SIG SP 2022 became the official French National Police service handgun in 2003, succeeding to the PAMAS G1. It is most notably seen in the opening sequence, during the bank-robbery.
SIG-Sauer Pro SP2009
A RAID member is seen using a SIG Pro SP2009. The RAID is the tactical unit of the French National Police, specialized in Domestic counter-terrorism and law enforcement.
SIG-Sauer P226
This is David's (Jérôme Pouly) sidearm and Vincent's main weapon after the bank shooting. However, there seems to be a continuity error: Vincent uses an earlier version of the SIG-Sauer P226 (without any rail) when he threatens Franck (Olivier Gourmet). A few minutes later, he is seen holding a more recent version of the gun, with a Picatinny rail.
Glock 17
Meyer (Nicolas Briançon) carries a Glock 17 as his weapon of choice. Judging by the aspect of the gun and the absence of a rail, it seems to be a "Second Generation" model.
Beretta 92FS
Eric (Francis Renaud) carries a Beretta 92FS as his main weapon. One of Mitch's thugs is also briefly seen holdind a Beretta 92FS on Vincent.
Colt M1911A1
Nico (Luca Argentero) carries a matte nickel Colt M1911A1 with black grips during the bank-robbery. He later uses it during the farm shooting.
Colt Python
Mattei carries a snub-nosed Colt Python towards the end of the movie.
Shotguns
Mossberg 500 Cruiser
One of Mitch's henchmen holds a Mossberg 500 Cruiser to Vincent's head in the nightclub.
Mossberg 500
Gipsy Arnaud (Hocine Choutri) uses a Mossberg 500 with wooden stock.
Submachine Gun
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Two Police officers are using Heckler & Koch MP5A3s during the shooting at the bank. The gun features an UMP folding stock and a tactical handguard with MIT rails.
Carbine
Romanian Draco SBR Carbine
David (Jérôme Pouly) seems to be using a Romanian AK Draco Carbine with a folded stock during the bank-robbery. It's a realistic weapon choice since most of the assault rifles used in crime operations in France are Eastern-european copies of AK type rifles.
Sniper Rifles
PGM Ultima Ratio Commando II
During the opening bank-robbery shootout, Vincent (Mathieu Kassovitz) uses a French PGM Ultima Ratio as his weapon of choice. The rifle is chambered in .308 Winchester and fed with a 10-round detachable box magazine. In this scene, Vincent deliberatly wounds the police officers instead of killing them. Besides the dramatic effect, this shows that his degree of skill and training is clearly above than that of an average bank robber. It's an appropriate rifle for a former top-level military assassin.
Blaser R93 LRS2
Two different RAID policemen are seen using and firing Blaser R93 LRS2 rifles.
SIG SG 550 Sniper Rifle
Toward the end of the film, Mattei gets a hold of a SIG SG 550 SR fitted with a folding bipod and an adjutable sniper buttstock. Its previous owner fired it full auto, but Mattei fires it semi-auto (probably not to hit any civilian).
DSR-Precision GmbH DSR-1
A RAID member is briefly seen holding a DSR-Precision DSR-1 rifle.
