Lawrence of Arabia

Lawrence of Arabia(1962)

The following firearms were seen in Lawrence of Arabia

Webley Mk.VI

The British Webley Mk VI revolver is the main weapon of Major T.E. Lawrence (Peter O'Toole) throughout the film. Tafas (Zia Mohyeddin), Sherif Ali (Omar Sharif) and Auda abu Tayi (Anthony Quinn) also are seen with the Webley Mk VI.

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

The Lee-Enfield SMLE rifle is 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 machine guns 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.

M1919A4

Turks are overrun by Lawrence's Arabs.

Sea Battery

Lawrence and the Arabs conquer Aqaba to eliminate the threat to supply ships, that the sea batteries possesses. Mentioned earlier in the film by Brighton as being 12-inch guns, they are almost certainly non-firing mock-ups.

Vickers Gun

The Arabs use the Vickers Gun when they assault the trains. Lawrence incorrectly identifies them as Lewis Guns earlier in the film.

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.

Weapons Platforms

Turk Fighter Plane

The Turkish planes used in the raid on Feisal's camp appear to be De Havilland Tiger Moths, a biplane used by the British Royal Air Force. Not only would it be unlikely that the Turks would have British airplanes, they are also anachronistic; the plane was not invented until 1931, well after the close of World War I.
