Lawrence of Arabia(1962)
The following firearms were seen in Lawrence of Arabia
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.

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.
