District 9 (2009)

District 9, abbreviated D-9, is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. Released August 13, 2009 internationally and August 14, 2009 in North America, the film is set in a near-future Johannesburg, South Africa, several decades after an insectlike alien race arrives in the city. Apparently leaderless and unable to leave, the creatures are confined to a squalid shanty town known as District 9, secured by private military contractors working for the MNU corporation. Told partly in the "found footage" format, the film follows an MNU bureaucrat (Sharlto Copley) as he is tasked with evicting the creatures to a new settlement outside of Johannesburg. During the course of his job, he is accidentally infused with the DNA of the aliens, leading him to slowly transform and become something less than human. District 9 was based on Alive in Joburg, a short film by also by Blomkamp featuring Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley in acting roles.

IMFDB would like to thank the film's armorer, Olly Steele, for his contributions to the page.

+An Kalashnikov-style rifle of unknown make is used by several mercenaries, with 5.56x45mm magazines, a 45 degree gas block and a shortened barrel.

+==Flamethrower==
+Carried by MNU soldiers who burn down an alien hive. Unless proven otherwise, this weapon is probably a fictional model like countless other film productions. In a deleted scene in which Wikus steals an AFV, a canister that is attached to the flamethrower hose and nozzle is thrown from the vehicle before being driven off. The canister appears to be similar to a gas tank, much like that of a propane tank.
