The following guns were used in the film Hotel Rwanda
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Hotel Rwanda (2004)
Beretta 92 A Beretta 92 pistol makes several appearances in the film in the hands of many characters. This particular Beretta is the first model produced (and the sole reason why someone should never list a Beretta as a "Beretta 92" when they can't tell if it is an F or FS.) and it is somewhat strange to see it so actively used during this event (which only takes place in 1994.) The first of these users is a Rwandan Army commander who draws his sidearm and orders Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle ) to execute his friends for being "Tutsi Cockroaches", but he manages to bribe the commander into letting them go. One of the UN soldiers under Colonel Oliver's (Nick Nolte ) command also is seen armed with a Beretta 92. Another random Rwandan officer is seen waking up Paul somewhat unpleasantly with the barrel of his 92. The last of these users is General Bizimungu (Fana Mokoena ), who fires his 92 into the air as he orders his men to rush back to the hotel to stop the attacking Rwandan attackers.

Beretta 92FS While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a Interahamwe trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A Belgians UN soldier with an unknown LMG, noted by carry handle. Note Beta-C drum magazine. This one with the Beta-C drum looks like some kind of M16 variant. You can see the fore end of the weapon in that familiar tube and the rear sights. Excalibur01 00:45, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
Could it be an FNC? That would be standard issue.-RedJedRevolver 00:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC) Is that a carrying handle on it? If so, then it could not be an FNC, and it is not very likely that it is an M16 variant with a carrying handle (the forward stock does not match the Colt LMG).SAWGunner89 20:01, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
