Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
M1A1 Thompson submachine guns are used in several scenes by Roch Siffredi (Alain Delon), François Capella (Jean-Paul Belmondo), their henchmen and their enemies. All SMGs is fitted with a vertical foregrips and drum magazines, and also sometimes fitted with Cutts compensators - to make their match the more period-accurate M1921/M1928 (as the M1A1 is anachronistic).

Capella fires his Thompson.
Wounded Siffredi fires his Thompson single-hand. It's hard to believe that someone who is not of heroic stature and also is wounded could perform such a feat.

M1928 Thompson
During the shootout with Poli's men in the slaughterhouse, one of the enemy gangsters armed M1928 Thompson (in the next scene when SMG passes into the hands of Capella, due to continuity error it switches to modified M1A1). Later in one of the scenes Capella holds M1928 with rear sight from M1A1.
