The Big Runaround
The Big Runaround (original title La grande vadrouille and released in the UK as Don't Look Now... We're Being Shot At!) is a 1966 French comedy film. Set in 1940's Nazi-occupied France, it follows the misadventures of a French painter and an orchestra conductor who find themselves unwittingly getting caught up in the efforts of a group of RAF pilots (led by Terry-Thomas) to escape the Germans.
The following weapons were used in the film The Big Runaround:
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k in the hands of numerous German soldiers. Augustin Bouvet (Bourvil) and Stanislas Lefort (Louis de Funès) also carry them when disguised as German soldiers.
MP40
The MP40 is seen used by German troops throughout the film.
Unidentified Handgun
Throughout the film, Major Achbach (Benno Sterzenbach) is seen carrying a small handgun in a holster, although he never takes it out. DID gives him a Walther PPK, but there's no evidence for this in the film.
Luger P08
A German sergeant (Reinhard Kolldehoff) is seen carrying a Luger P08. Other Germans use them, usually in holsters.
MG42
The Germans attempt to prevent the heroes from escaping in a pair of gliders using an MG42 mounted in a halftrack. However, the gunner (Michel Modo) is cross-eyed and misses and accidentally shoots down a German fighter plane instead.
