District B13 is a French Action film, released overseas under the name Banlieue 13. There are 55 distinct weapons used in this film.
Seen during the fight in the gambling den, one of Montoyas' men fires a full auto pistol that strongly resembles the pistol used by RoboCop and also used in Underworld: Evolution. Most likely a Beretta M93R with a custom extended front end, though this is an educated guess based on general shape and usage in other movies.
Along with his Baby Eagle 9mm, Taha also keeps a Ruger KP94DC 9mm handgun ( a stainless steel model of the Ruger P94 fitted with a decocker) that 's fitted with a small laser pointer right in front of the trigger guard as one of his personal pistols. It's later taken by Leito and used for the rest of the film.
Tomaso grabs a pair of Sig Pistols during a fight. The full size and large aperture of the barrel would indicate a big caliber like a .45 acp, so the assumption is that they are P220s.
Since the SIG pistols are supposedly stolen from the French National police, they should be SIG Pro SP 2022 or 2009 pistols, but they are probably Sig P228 pistols since they don't have the integral rail of the 2022 or the 2009 pistols used by the French.
Both Gangster K2 (Tony D'Amario) and Heroine Lola (Dany Verissimo) use Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0 Pistols (.45 acp).

She then removes her thong panties and makes him eat them at gunpoint, prompting her hostage (the Gangleader Taha) to quip "My kind of girl"...
Glock 18
Captain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli) uses a pair of Glock 18s to destroy Gangster Montoya's prized automobile.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingCaptain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli) fire a pair of Glock 18s akimbo style, dumping both 33 round magazines into Montoya's prized car - 9mm
Glock 32
Elite French Police Captain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli) uses a Glock 32 - chambered for .357 sig. Since Glocks all look alike the only reference to this caliber is a French language article which mentions the actor using a 357 pistol. Since the character never touches a revolver or a Desert Eagle, and that this is a French movie with a French Armorer, I am assuming that his Glock is a Model 32.
Though Tomasos' pistol is supposed to be a compact G32 in some of the scenes he seems to be firing a subcompact Glock. Since he is using the same ammunition (in the movie) it should be the Subcompact Glock 33.
Used by the horrifying Carlos Montoya, who looks more like a character out of Sin City than a French underworld Boss, carries what looks to be a nickel plated Taurus PT92.
K2 holds two handguns, one of them a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629 - .44 Mag.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingEarly on K2 has to decide which gun he wants to used. He has to decide between a Mk23 SOCOM 45 acp and a Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 629 - .44 Mag
Taurus Raging Bull
A French gang leader uses a Taurus Raging Bull to threaten Tomaso after he crashes his police van.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe henchman in the back has a chopped down short barreled AR15/M16 full auto pistol based on the Freedom Arms 7" AR Pistol design, however it does not have a flat top receiver like the American pistol, but maintains the carry handle of the M16A1 upper receiver - 5.56mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingOne of Taha's henchmen tries to break in the door with an AR15 pistol - 5.56mm NATO
Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn a scene where we see a lot of Tahas' henchmen, the man on the far left is holding a Beretta M12 submachine gun - 9mm
Shotguns
Remington 870 Express
Used by some of Leïtos' men and Taha/K2s' gang members in various configurations.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingOne of K2's thugs has a silver shotgun. Though one may think it's an 870 Marine Magnum, it is merely a Remington 870 Express "pimped out" with a nickel plated finish - 12gaError creating thumbnail: File missingOne of Leïtos's guards holds a taped up Remington 870 Express that has a ribbed barrel - 12ga. These types of barrels are not stock items with the 870 in riot configuration but can be purchased separately.
Ithaca Model 37 Stakeout
Error creating thumbnail: File missingOne of K2's killers chases down Leïto with an Ithaca Model 37 stakeout with 18" barrel on his back - 12ga. Originally listed as a Mossberg, but the pistol grip upon closer inspection is the distinctive Ithaca Stakeout style. This type of firearm is ironically sold commercially as the "Homeland Security" Model 37.
One of Taha's bodyguards fires a full sized SIG SG 550 rifle with a red dot sight and a cheek pad on the buttstock and twin magazines clamped together "Jungle style".
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA guard faces off with Lola, carrying standard length Steyr AUG with a black stock (and a Holographic Site mounted (sideways!!) to the barrel) - 5.56mm NATO
Steyr AUG w/16" barrel
Used by a henchmen in the army of henchmen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAs the wave of henchmen storm out of the building, we can see one armed with a Steyr AUG with a shortened "para" barrel (outfitted with a black stock) - 5.56mm NATO
Heckler & Koch G3
Besides their FAMAS assault rifles, the French National Police also use Heckler & Koch G3 assault rifles fitted with wide "tropical" forearms.
I've seen a German AK clone that looks almost Identical, I'm not so sure what it's called, but that's exactly what it looked like.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAK104 - new Russian Rifle chambered in 7.62x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingTwo of Tahas' men - one with an MP5K (9mm) and an AK104 (missing it's muzzle brake and fitted with a Romanian Side Folding Stock) - 7.62x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingA better shot of the modified AK-104. It looks to be a standard AKM with a Romanian Side folder stock (note the lack of a full sized folding stock hinge on the back of the receiver), that had an AK-104 barrel assembly and gas system installed. The front Krinkov style muzzle brake has been replaced by a standard AK Muzzle nut which would be impossible with the real AK-104 - 7.62x39mm
Yes, one of the henchmen holds a AKS-74U style of weapon with a 5.45x39mm magazine (!) but it has an Underfolding stock. It was probably a 5.45mm underfolding AK that was chopped down by an armorer and had the Krinkov front end installed. There are lots of weird custom jobs in the movie gun world, and 'Frankenstein guns' appear from time to time.
Note: Before the last server crash, someone posted here what sort of gun it was. That information was lost when the page reverted to the last version. If that user is still on IMFDB, I would appreciate them posting again, what type of weapon they thought it was. Thanks MoviePropMaster2008 21:57, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
-With the waffle magazine and the underfolding stock, it could possibly be the 7.62x39mm AR-SF produced by Arsenal of Bulgaria.-Markit
It's not a 7.62x39mm gun. Look at the magazine. It's either a 5.45 or a 5.56 magazine. MPM
Actually a "733 looking gun". Being a French film and the fact that French Armorers always do strange things with their guns, we see what looks like a Colt Model 733 Short barreled Assault rifle. However the barrel looks a little too long to be the 11" for the real 733 and too short to be the 14" for the 653, so it seems to be an intermediate length barrel (which means it's a custom barrel job from a real M16 carbine). It is seen briefly when Taha's men storm out of the building.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn a blurry motion shot (everyone is running past the camera) one of Tahas' men holds an M16 variant that looks closest to the Model 733 Short assault rife.
Since the only angle of this weapon is down the barrel it's hard to tell. It looks to be a .308 with a heavy barrel weight/muzzle brake mounted at the end.
Front sight reminds me of an Uzi, the rest is a bit reminiscent of a UMP. Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's an Uzi with a rail above the charging handle.
Machine Guns
M240B
M240Bs are used at gangland checkpoints and are also mounted on pickup trucks during a chase through the city. Being Europe these are most likely FN MAGs outfitted to look like M240B Machine guns (which have features that were requested by the U.S. Military).
The standard 40mm Grenade Launchers for the SIG series of Assault rifle are the GL 5040/GL 5041 launchers, built by Swiss Arms. These are seen attached to SIG SG551s throughout the film.
