French paratroopers used the modern 9mm MAT49 which had previously seen service in Vietnam. Others probably used a mix of obsolete French weapons left over from the world wars and earlier. It was not uncommon for colonial troops (whether French or the colonials of another imperial power) to be equipped with yesterday's weapons. Presumably this was done to: 1) save money, 2) impress upon them that they were colonials using obsolete hand-me-down weaponry, and 3) to give them a disadvantage if they tried to cut their colonial bindings. Photography from the Algerian War might be the best source of information about the types of firearms used.
