Lawrence of Arabia(1962)

The following firearms were seen in Lawrence of Arabia

Webley Mk.VI

Major. T.E. Lawrence's(Peter O'Toole) main weapon throughout the film is his British Webley Mk VI revolver.

Lawrence is caught up in a bloodlust and slaughters retreating Turks with his Webley Mk.VI.
Lawrence furiously slams his Webley Mk.VI shut after reloading.

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.

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.
