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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shellshocked Turkish officer shoots at Lawrence repeatedly, but is too disoriented to make a proper shot. 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.
