City of God (Portuguese Title: Cidade de Deus) is a 2002 Brazilian film directed by Fernando Mirelles and Katia Lund. Based on a true story, the film chronicles the development of one of Rio De Janeiro's most notorious favelas (Portuguese word for "Slum/Ghetto") as told through the perspective of Rocket(Alexandre Rodrigues), an aspiring photographer.
The following weapons are seen in the 2002 film City of God:
The Taurus PT92 is seen in the hands of gang members. It should be noted that while the film is set between the 1960s and the late 1970s, the PT92 was only introduced in 1983.
Li'l Ze (Leandro Firmino da Hora) uses a M1911-style pistol made in Brazil by IMBEL throughout much of the film (the Imbel logo is visible on the slide)
The M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun" is used by Li'l Ze throughout the latter parts of the film. Due to a continuity error, the M3 occasionally switches places with the Madsen M50 during the final gunbattle.

The later model M3A1 would eliminate the crank lever for cocking the bolt, and instead used a simple hole in the bolt for the shooter to use their finger.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLi'l Ze makes the decision to shoot up Knockout Ned's house.
INA Model 953
The INA Model 953 (the Brazilian version of the Madsen M50 submachine gun) is seen in the hands of police officers and gang members in both Lil' Ze and Carrot's gangs.
The Micro Uzi submachine gun is frequently seen in the hands of gang members. Interestingly, one of the Micro Uzis depicted is fitted with the full sized stock of the original Uzi.
The M1 Carbine is carried by one of Carrot's gang members when they rob a bank to fund their arms purchases, as well as by Military Police (Brazilian Gendarmerie) officers. Li'l Ze's gang also are seen with a chrome-plated M1 carbine with a folding stock and 30-round magazines, notably in the scene where they pose for Rocket's camera.
Knockout Ned (Seu Jorge) carries an FN Model 1949 rifle during the final gunbattle against Li'l Ze's gang, killing several gangsters with the weapon during the final gunbattle. The FN Model 1949 (also known as the SAFN-49) was a semi-automatic design that was adopted by several countries, including Brazil, before being superseded by such battle rifles as the FN FAL.
