Revision as of 15:13, 4 September 2010
The following guns were used in the film Hotel Rwanda:
Handguns
Beretta 92
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 "Tutsi 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.
Beretta 92FS
While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a Interahamwe trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel. Its strange form makes it look like a flashpaper or airsoft replica.
Browning Hi-Power
Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), commander of the U.N forces, is seen using a Browning Hi-Power as his sidearm throughout the film.
Webley Mk. VI
An Interahamwe militiaman shoots out the tires of the U.N truck trying to transport refugees with a Webley Mk. VI revolver, and then shoots down one of the Rwandan Army soldiers.
Shotguns
Remington 870
An Interahamwe militiaman is seen with a Remington 870 shotgun, although it is hard to determine at such a distance.
Double Barreled Shotgun
An unknown 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun with exposed hammers is seen in the hands of one of the Interahamwe militiamen.
Single Barrel Shotgun
One of the Interahamwe militiamen is seen armed with a Single Barrel Shotgun Made by Baikal of Russia.
Submachine Guns
Uzi Carbine
A Belgian is seen armed with an Uzi Carbine. This weapon is a civilian gun though and would not have been issued to actual Belgian troops, so it is an inaccuracy.
Rifles
Lee-Enfield No. 1 SMLE Mk. III
An Interahamwe militiaman is seen with a Lee-Enfield No. 1 SMLE Mk. III.
Berthier Mle.1916 Carbine
An Interahamwe militiaman is seen with a Berthier Mle.1916 carbine.
Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention
A French Soldier (to the far left of the Intervention Force Commander) carries a Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention Sniper Rifle.
Automatic Rifles
AK Variants
The AK variants are the most common weapons of the Rwandan soldiers and the Rwandan Army, and come in many different models including Egyptian Maadi AKMs (modified with Russian parts kits), WASR-3s, Polish dark-wood kBks, and Norinco Type 56s.
IMI Galil
Rwandan Army soldiers carry IMI Galil assault rifles. This is historically accurate as R4 rifles (South African made versions of the Galil AR) were imported for use with the Rwandan National Army in 1992.
FAMAS F1
The French soldiers of the European Intervention Force that arrive to evacuate foreign expatriates are armed with FAMAS F1 rifles.
FN FAL
Belgian soldiers are largely seen using FN FAL Paratrooper rifles with folding stocks. In reality, Belgian troops were armed with FN FNC rifles.
Heckler & Koch G3A3 (South African configuration)
Both Rwandan Soldiers and the U.N Soldiers under Colonel Oliver's command are armed with South African-configuration Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles.
Machine Guns
FN MAG-58
FN MAG-58s are seen mounted on vehicles of both the Rwandan Army and the French intervention force. One Rwandan soldier is seen carrying one as his primary support weapon.
Heckler & Koch MG3
A Heckler & Koch MG3 is seen mounted on a French jeep, probably as a stand-in for the AA-52 machine gun that was standard issue for French forces in 1994.
Browning M1919A4 (M37 vehicle mount)
Browning M1919A4 machine guns (likely the M37 model built specifically for vehicle mounts) are seen on some Belgian UN jeeps, and some rebel jeeps as well.
Browning M2HB
Browning M2HB machine guns are seen mounted on French jeeps and are used by the Rwandan Army soldiers to take shots at the rebel soldiers as they try to shoot the refugees crossing the border.
Other
M26 "Lemon" hand grenade
A M26 hand grenade is attached the Rwandan Army Commander's uniform, and is seen on another army officer's belt.
Mk. 2 hand grenade
A Mk. 2 hand grenade is seen on the officer's belt.
RPG-7
During the night, Interahamwe militiamen are seen firing an RPG, likely an RPG-7 at the hotel. Luckily for the refugees inside, only a storage room is destroyed.
