Half a Chance (French: Une chance sur deux) is a French 1998 action comedy movie starring Jean-Paul Belmondo, Alain Delon and Vanessa Paradis.
The basic plot is about Alice Tomaso (Paradis), a young car thief who is in search of her father. She finds out that both car dealer and former mercenary Léo Brassac (Belmondo) and businessman and former master thief Julien Vignal (Delon) are possibly responsible, and accidentally runs into the business of Russian mafia boss Anatoli Sharkov.
The following weapons were used in the film Half a Chance:
Handguns
Makarov PM
The Trenchcoat Assassin (Aleksandr Yakovlev) uses a Makarov PM pistol when he shoots one of Sharkov's henchmen.
Beretta 92FS Inox
A Beretta 92FS Inox is the weapon of choice of Julien (Alain Delon). In the climax of the movie, Julien also fires it Akimbo-style.
Beretta 93R
Léo (Jean-Paul Belmondo) uses a Beretta 93R throughout the movie.
Mauser C96

A Thompson M1928 submachine gun with a drum magazine is picked up by Julien in Léo's weapon chamber.

Machine Guns
FN Minimi Para
A FN Minimi Para is used in the final shootout, distinguishable by its short barrel. Oddly enough, the top handle goes from being positioned upwards to being folded down along the handguard between shots.
