The following guns were used in the film Hotel Rwanda:
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.
Both Rwandan rebel soldiers and UN soldiers under Colonel Oliver's command are armed with Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles with South African configurations.
A Rwandan Rebel shoots out the tires of the UN truck trying to transport refugees with a Webley Mk. VI revolver, and then shoots down one of the Rwandan Army soldiers.
Browning M1919A4 machine guns (likely the M37 model built specifically for vehicle mounts) is seen on some French UN jeeps and some rebel jeeps as well.
During the night, Rwandan rebels are seen firing an RPG, likely an RPG-7 at the hotel. Luckily for the refugees inside, only a store room is destroyed.
-The "unknown LMG" looks like some sort of AR-15 variant, note the front site -AdAstra2009
I don't think so. And the sight isn't very AR-15ish. Plus, the AR-15 has the elavated sights on the carry handle. Why would it need a second carry handle when it already has one? It's not likely. -GM
-you do know I was talking about the front sights not the rear ones, right. -AdAstra2009 this should prob be moved to discussion
Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that the carry handle, which houses the rear sight, is already one carry handle, so that second folding handle seen on the gun pretty much denounces that is an AR-15, right? -GM
