Lawrence of Arabia
The following firearms were seen in Lawrence of Arabia
Webley Mk.VI
Major. Lawrence's(Peter O'Toole) main weapon throughout the film is his British Webley Mk VI revolver.
Lee-Enfield SMLE
Lee-Enfield SMLE's are used by the Arabs and British throughout the movie. Turkish soldiers also (incorrectly) 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.
Browning M1919
Browning M1919's 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.
Vickers
The Arabs used the Vickers's when they assault the trains. Lawrence incorrectly idenitifies them as Lewis Guns earlier in the film.
Flare Gun
Lawrence and Col. Harry Brighton both use a Flare gun over the course of the movie.
Mauser C96
The Weapon used by the Turkish soldier to shoot Lawrence is a German Mauser C96. These guns can be seen in several other scenes, including Jose Ferrer's Turkish Bey in the Deraa sequence, though several Turkish officers during the attack on Aqaba can be seen using unidentified revolvers.
M1914 Hotchkiss
The Turks are seen deploying a French M1914 Hotchkiss machine gun when Lawrence and the Arabs attack the retreating Turk column.
Jezail
Several of Lawrence's bodyguards towards the end of the film are armed with some type of Jezail, a commonly used matchlock musket (notable for its rounded, forked stock and long barrel) found in the Middle East.
