Brazilian poster of the film

Lucio Flavio (Original Portuguese title: Lucio Flavio o Passageiro da Agonia, "Lucio Flavio the Passenger of Agony") is a 1977 Brazilian crime drama directed by Héctor Babenco. It was inspired by the true story of the bank robber Lucio Flavio and the ties between his gang and corrupt members of the police.
The following weapons were used in the film Lucio Flavio:

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Military & Police (Spanish version)

Lucio Flavio (Reginaldo Faria) uses a nickel plated revolver throughout the film; it appears to be one of the copies of the Smith & Wesson Military & Police made by various Eibar gunsmiths.

Lucio Flavio answer the door, gun in hand. Note the placement of the screws is different from the original S&W model.

Lucio Flavio points his weapon at Constancio; this appears to be the same nickel plated revolver as above.

Lucio Flavio reloads two chambers on his revolver. He uses .32 S&W Long ammunition made by Companhia Brasileira de Cartuchos (non-Brazilian viewers may be more familiar with this ammunition manufacturer's international branding, MagTech).

Lucio Flavio places his revolver on a table alongside bundles of stolen cash; note the extractor rod.

Pistols

Liece de Paula (Ivan Almeida) uses what appears to be a Ruby Pistol with black grips through the film.

The Ruby can be seen in Liece's waistband during the assault on the prison convoy.

One of the death squad policemen at the funeral carries the pistol.

For some reason, the Ruby's safety is on in this scene; during the gun salute no muzzle flash or smoke is seen and the actor only mimics the recoil.

Submachine Guns

MP 40

The MP 40 is used by police; an odd choice since it was never adopted by any Brazilian police force. Lucio Flavio receives an MP 40 from corrupt policemen; he says he will need it for his next robbery but does not use it (during the actual robbery scene he carries his revolver).

Rifles

FN FAL

During the assault on the prison convoy, Liece de Paula uses a FN FAL paratrooper model with the folding stock removed; the weapon is fitted with an extended magazine. This rifle is most likely a Brazilian-manufactured IMBEL M964 variant.
