Innocent Voices (Voces inocentes) is a 2004 Mexican war drama. It depicts the tragedy of the Salvadoran Civil War through the eyes of children, as narrated by eleven-year-old boy Chava.
The following weapons were used in the film Innocent Voices:
Handguns
M1911-Style Pistol
Chava's uncle Beto (José Maria Yazpik), a guerrilla fighter, holds an M1911-style pistol in one scene. M1911-style pistols are also used by officers of the Salvadoran Army.
Unidentified Revolver
An unidentified revolver is very briefly seen in the hands of a guerrilla fighter.
Shotguns
Unidentified Shotguns
Guerrillas use pump-action shotguns. These guns are seen very briefly and unclear.
Rifles
Unidentified Rifle
During the attack of the guerrillas on the village, one fighter fires an unidentified rifle from the bell tower.
Assault Rifles
M16
Most soldiers of the Salvadoran Army are armed with M16/SP1 assault rifles with 20- and 30-round magazines. Guerrillas also use M16s.
M16A2
Some soldiers and guerrilla fighters are armed with M16A2 assault rifles. Its appearance in the hands of the Salvadoran Army and FMLN guerillas is highly anachronistic; the M16A2 was not exported to El Salvador during the Civil War (by 1986, the M16A2 had only just been adopted by the US Army and Marine Corps), and the Salvadoran Army did not adopt the M16A2 for service until 2007.
ArmaLite AR-18
AR-18s are also seen in the hands of several soldiers.
AKM
Raton (Héctor Jiménez) carries an AKM.
Norinco Type 56
Some guerrilla fighters are armed with Norinco Type 56 assault rifles. During the shootout between guerrillas and soldiers, Chava picks up a Type 56.
Various AKs
Some other guerrilla fighters are armed with AKs that are seen only at a distance, so it's impossible to identify the exact model.
Machine Guns
Vickers Mk.1
A water-cooled machine gun that appears to be based on a variant of the Vickers Mk.1 Machine Gun is mounted on the turret of the government armored car. It is likely a non-firing mock-up, as the machine gun lacks a barrel inside the water jacket, and the shooting is imitated. The Vickers Mk.1 was not used in the Civil War by either the Salvadoran Army or the FMLN guerrillas.
Explosives
Hand Grenades
Guerrilla fighters use hand grenades during the attack on the village. The grenades are seen only at a distance.
Trivia
Armored Car
The government troops use an armored car against the guerrillas. Its main gun seems to be a mock-up.
