__TOC__<br clear="all">

= Pistols =
== Llama style pistol ==
Large frame M1911-style pistols are seen in the hands of Kilian's brother Jacobo De Rabaltue (Alain Hernández), cocoa plantation foreman Gregorio (Luis Callejo), local rebel Atsu (Malcolm Treviño-Sitté), and an officer of the Equatorial Guinea armed forces. Due to the external extractor, slanted slide serrations, and slightly extended barrel these pistols (or pistol, if a single prop is reused) resemble such [[Llama Pistol Series|Llama pistols]] as the [[Llama Model 8|Model 8]] or [[Llama IX-A|Model IX-A]] (late versions of both models lack vent ribs that are seen on samples) but the grip has a flat mainspring housing that isn't common for Llama pistols.

== Unidentified Pistol 1 ==
When Jacobo De Rabaltue (Alain Hernández) fires at local man Mosi, his pistol switches to another model, possibly some compact Star or Llama model.

== Unidentified Pistol 2 ==
During the scene set in 1968 when the Spaniards leave Fernando Po, an officer of the Equatorial Guinea Army is armed with an unknown pistol. It is definitely a model from the 1990s-2000s, not fitting for the time when the story is set.

== Heckler & Koch G3/CETME Model C ==
In the scene set in Malabo (former Santa Isabel) in 2003, police personnel carry [[Heckler & Koch G3]] or [[CETME Model C]] battle rifles (the overall appearance of these guns is nearly identical and there isn't any closeups that would help to identify the exact model).
