The Escape (original title La carapate) is a 1978 French crime comedy directed by Gérard Oury. Jean-Philippe Duroc (Pierre Richard), an attorney, visits his client Martial Gaulard (Victor Lanoux) in prison. Suddenly a prison riot erupts, Gaulard escapes, and the police is convinced that Duroc helped him, so now they both are wanted.
The following weapons were used in the film The Escape (La carapate):
Handguns
Unidentified pistol
During the prison riot one of the convicts fires a pistol taken from an incapacitated warden. The pistol is seen only through the thick smoke so it's hard to identify it. Its general shape resembles M1911-style pistol, especially Colt Commander as the pistol seems to have a shorter barrel and a ring hammer spur.
Unidentified revolver
When Gaulard robs a bank, a bank cashier fires a revolver. It is seen only from the muzzle. The revolver appears to be 5-shot so it can be Smith & Wesson Model 36 or some similar compact revolver.
Submachine Guns
MAT-49
MAT-49 SMGs are carried by gendarmes in several scenes.
Shotguns
Double Barreled Shotgun
A double barreled shotgun is seen in a locker on Gustave's farm.
Rifles
MAS-36
Most gendarmes are armed with MAS-36 and MAS-36/51 rifles. Some of them are fitted with muzzle grenade launchers.
Berthier Mle 1916 Carbine
Berthier Mle 1916 carbines are also used by gendarmes.
MAS-49/56
During the prison riot a guard is seen with a rifle that appears to be a MAS-49/56.
Unidentified rifles
Some gendarmes carry rifles with straight bolt handles. They are supposed to be Lebel Mle 1886 M93 M27 or Berthier Mle 1907-16 rifles but it's hard to make a decision.
Unidentified hunting rifle
During the scene on the farm a bolt action hunting rifle is used by Gustave (Claude Brosset).
Other Weapons
OF 37 Grenade
During the prison riot gendarmes use tear gas grenades. They appear to be training version of OF 37 hand grenade with Mle 1935 fuze.
Toy Luger pistol
Martial Gaulard (Victor Lanoux) uses two toy Lugers to commit the bank heist.
