Lawrence of Arabia is the 1962 epic directed by David Lean and starring Peter O'Toole as T.E. Lawrence.
The following weapons were used in the film Lawrence of Arabia:
Handguns
Webley Mk.VI
The British Webley Mk VI revolver is the main weapon of Major T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) throughout the film. Tafas (Zia Mohyeddin), Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif) and Auda abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn) also are seen with the Webley Mk VI.
Mauser C96
The German Mauser C96 is the weapon used by the Turkish officer to wound Lawrence during the takeover of the train. These guns can be seen in the hands of other characters, including the Turkish Bey (José Ferrer) while in Deraa. Several Turkish officers during the attack on Aqaba can be seen using unidentified revolvers.
Rifles & Muskets
Lee-Enfield SMLE
The Lee-Enfield SMLE rifle is used by the Arabs and British throughout the movie. Turkish soldiers also use these weapons in several scenes, interchanging with Mausers, presumably depending on what country the scenes were shot in (Jordan, Spain or Morocco) and the availability of the rifles. While likely not intentional, this is not entirely inaccurate as the Turks did re-issue the SMLEs captured at Gallipoli.
Mauser M43
The Turkish army uses the Spanish Mauser M43 rifle in the film in place of the issued Turkish M1903, likely as this movie was filmed in Spain.
Jezail Musket
Several of Lawrence's bodyguards towards the end of the film are armed with some type of Jezail musket, a commonly used musket (notable for its rounded, forked stock and long barrel) found in the Middle East. They can be found with all types of muzzle-loading ignition - matchlock, flintlock (often Snaphaunce or Miquelet), and percussion.
Machine Guns
Browning M1919A4
Browning M1919A4 machine guns are seen used by the Turks in the first train attack scene. This is an anachronism since the movie takes place from 1916 to 1918.
M1914 Hotchkiss
The Turks are seen deploying a French M1914 Hotchkiss machine gun when Lawrence and the Arabs attack the retreating Turk column.
Vickers Gun
The Arabs use the Vickers Gun when they assault the trains. Lawrence incorrectly identifies them as Lewis Guns earlier in the film.
Other
Webley & Scott Signal Pistol
Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) and Col. Harry Brighton (Anthony Quayle) both use a Webley & Scott Signal Pistol over the course of the movie.
Howitzer
The retreating Turkish column tow a Howitzer (possibly a French 75 or a German 77) along with them.
Sea Battery
Lawrence and the Arabs conquer Aqaba to eliminate the threat to supply ships, that the sea batteries possesses. Mentioned earlier in the film by Brighton as being 12-inch guns, they are non-firing mock-ups.
Weapons Platforms
Turk Fighter Plane
The Turkish planes used in the raid on Feisal's camp appear to be disguised De Havilland Tiger Moths, a biplane used by the British Royal Air Force from 1932 to 1959, and the default biplane for British movies.
Rolls Royce Whippet Armored Car
Vickers Mk.1
