==Browning M2HB==
[[Browning M2|Browning M2HB]] machine guns are seen mounted on French UN jeeps and used by the Rwandan Army soldiers to take shots at the rebel soldiers as they try to shoot the refugees crossing the border.
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 "Tutsie 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.
While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a Rwandan soldier trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel. Its strange form makes it look like a flashpaper or airsoft replica.
The AK variants are the most used weapons of the Rwandan soldiers and the Rwandan Army in many different models including Egyptian Maadi AKMs (modified with Russian parts kits), WASR-3s, Polish dark-wood kBks, and Norinco Type 56s.
FN MAG-58s are seen mounted on vehicles of both the Rwandan Army and the UN soldiers of France. One Rwandan rebel is seen carrying one as his primary support weapon.
Browning M2HB machine guns are seen mounted on French UN jeeps and used by the Rwandan Army soldiers to take shots at the rebel soldiers as they try to shoot the refugees crossing the border.
