Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1 is part 2 of the two-part 2008 French-Canadian Mesrine film series directed by Jean-François Richet and starring Vincent Cassel as the French gangster Jacques Mesrine.
Public Enemy Number 1 (French: L'ennemi public n° 1) details Mesrine's criminal career after his escape from prison, and his subsequent brutal end. Part 1 was released as Mesrine: Killer Instinct (French: L'instinct de mort).
The following weapons were used in the film Mesrine: Public Enemy Number 1:
Just before his condemnation at the Compiègne courthouse, Mesrine asks to go to the toilet. A Luger P08 is hidden in the toilet tank, which Mersine uses to escape the courthouse.
A three inch barreled Manuhrin MR-73 "Defense" with fixed or duty sights is used akimbo with an anachronistic Beretta 92FS by a policeman when spying Mesrine before killing him.
When escaping the Prison de la Santé (Lit. Prison of the Good Health), a random convict escapes with them, and takes a MAT-49 submachine gun from a prison guard. It is also seen in the hands of a policeman manning a roadblock in order to find Mesrine.
During the Deauville casino shootout, Mesrine draws an Uzi after running out of ammunition for his pistols. An Uzi is also used by a French police officer to kill Mercine.
AKMSs are used in two different scenes, one time by François Besse during the Deauville casino shootout, and then by Charlie Bauer against Jacques Dallier.
Jacques Mesrine (Vincent Cassel) is briefly seen with an AKS-47 in one scene while he gets into a car. Mesrine is also seen with one on the movie's poster, which is based on a a real image of Mesrine posing with an AKS-47 and holstered Beretta 92-series pistol.
During the manhunt for Mesrine, the French Army soldiers are armed with MAS-36 rifles. While the older bolt-action MAS-36 was still in use by French police by the 1970s, at this time, the French Army had long moved on to the semi-automatic MAS-49/56.
