The Siege of Jadotville is a 2016 historical war drama covering the true story of The Siege at Jadotville, a battle involving Irish UN Peacekeepers of 'A' Company, 35th Battalion and Katangese rebels in 1961 during the Congo Crisis. The film was released on Netflix in October of 2016.
The cast included Jamie Dornan, Jason O'Mara, and Mark Strong.
The following weapons were used in the film The Siege of Jadotville:
Several mercenaries, including their commander, use MAT-49s.
Machine Guns
Bren MkI
'A' Company employs several Bren guns. The company sniper switches to a Bren to make a long distance shot, for unknown reasons, likely a reference to the Bren being called "too accurate" by gunners.
Vickers Gun
'A' Company uses a Vickers Gun mounted on a Land Rover, then on its own with and without a tripod. Commandant Quinlan uses it to shoot down a Fouga Magister.
Browning M2HB
Katangese mercenaries use a Browning M2HB mounted on a vehicle.
Browning M1919A4
The mercenaries use several Browning M1919A4s mounted on vehicles and on tripods.
FN MAG 58
A mercenary uses an FN MAG 58 fired from the hip. Another is mounted on a vehicle.
