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:
A chrome-plated Taurus Model 65 revolver with a four inch barrel and rubber grips is carried by Lil' Ze. It is identified by its distinctive cylinder release.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
Pistols

Submachine Guns
M3 'Grease Gun'
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.
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.
IMI Micro Uzi
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.
Rifles
Mauser M1908
Some gangsters are armed with Mauser M1908 rifles.
M1 Carbine
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known as the SAFN-49) was a semi-automatic design that was adopted by several countries, including Brazil, before being superseded by such battle rifles as the FN FAL.
