A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais)

A Gang Story (French Title: Les Lyonnais/The Lyonnais) is a 2011 French crime drama directed by Olivier Marchal. Loosely based on a true story, the film is about a former bank robber named Edmond "Momon" Vidal (Gérard Lanvin) who is forced to look into his past as the leader of the most notorious armed robbery gangs of the early 1970s when his best friend and former partner in crime (Tchéky Karyo) comes out of hiding to seek his help. 
The following weapons are seen in the film A Gang Story (Les Lyonnais):
__TOC__

==Colt M1911A1==
The Colt M1911A1 is the main weapon of Serge Suttel (Tchéky Karyo), used by him in both the present day and in flashbacks of his earlier years as a bank robber. Christo (Daniel Duval) uses a M1911A1 with a long slide while protecting Serge's daughter Lilou.

==Beretta Cougar==
Diego (Pierre-Andre Gilard) uses a Beretta Cougar while freeing Suttel from police custody at a hospital.

=Shotguns=

Joan Chavez (François Levantal), leader of the first robbery gang that Momon is involved with, during their heists uses a Atis R.G. 700 in a rare configuration with wood furniture, pistol grip, and aftermarket magazine extension. This shotgun is apparently one of those imported by Franchi, and is an anachronism for the 70s (although it may portray a similar Remington 870).
