Help!

Help! is a 1965 British musical-comedy-action film, the second full length feature starring the Beatles (John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr) directed by Richard Lester, following A Hard Day's Night, also directed by Lester. Unlike their previous feature, which was more of a day-in-the-life mockumentary, Help! is much more of a spy spoof film. In it, the Beatles, Ringo Starr in particular, are chased by a band of cultists from an unnamed eastern cult, because Ringo is wearing their sacrificial ring. The cult is joined by a mad scientist, who wants the ring so he can rule the world. They're chased across England, to Switzerland, and finally to the Bahamas. Being a Beatles movie, several Beatles songs are mixed in between the action scenes.

==Webley Mk V==
Professor Foot (Victor Spinetti) uses a Webley Mk V when he intervenes during the cultist assault on the Beatles' residence. He later points the revolver at the Beatles in order to get the ring off Ringo's finger. However, the revolver misfires and Foot is forced to make a hasty retreat.

==Enfield No. 2 Mk. I*==
Professor Foot is later armed with an Enfield No. 2 Mk.1* revolver with spurless hammer. Maybe he couldn't afford that Luger.
==Walther P38==
Ahme (Eleanor Bron) rescues the Beatles from Professor Foot with a pink Walther P38, which matches her outfit.
=Rifles=
==L1A1 Self Loading Rifle==
British soldiers on Salisbury Plain are armed with the L1A1 to protect the Beatles while the band records their new album. The rifles all have wooden furniture which sets them apart from later L1A1 versions, which have a fiberglass stock and grip.
