The following weapons were used in the film Savior:
The Beretta-pistols seen in the Mosque shooting scene are presumed to be of the M9 model, since both Joshua Rose/Guy (Dennis Quaid) and Peter Dominic (Stellan Skarsgard) are US Marine officers and thus having the right to carry them. A Beretta 92FS is also seen in the hands of the wounded muslim who is shot.
Heckler & Koch G3A3s can be seen in the hands of the Foreign Legion recruits in the beginning of the movie. UN soldiers are also armed with Heckler & Koch G3A3s at the prisoner exchange and at Split.
Guy is trained on a Sniper Adapted Vektor R4 when he joins the French Foreign Legion that he uses throughout the film. The modifications include a Scope along with a Cheek Rest which has been installed on the original folding stock and removal of the sights.
The M53 (Yugoslavian MG42) is seen in Peter's MG Nest. There are no definitive features to definitively say this is an M53, However being that filming was in Montenegro it would be reasonable that an M53 is what they were able to acquire locally.
The movie takes place in Bosnia during the Yugoslavian Civil War, and thus many Yugoslavian or possibly Russian weapons can be seen in the movie. Some of the militias appear to be armed with the Zastava M59/66 rifle (local copy of the SKS rifle).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingYugoslavian SKS M59/66 rifle with blade bayonet and grenade launcher attached to barrel, the variant most seen during the Balkan Wars - 7.62x39mm. The Yugoslavian M59 is nearly identical to the Russian SKS, it is the M59/66 which has the grenade launcher attachment at the end of the barrel.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBosnian "Mucha Hedines" armed with Yugo SKS.Error creating thumbnail: File missingVera's brother (Nebojsa Glogovac) -a Serbian Militia man is armed with a Yugo SKS.
Zastava M70AB2
The Zastava M70AB2 rifles are used by Serbian, Bosnian, and Croatian Soldiers throughout the film. Peter Dominic also is armed with a Zastava M70AB2.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe Helicopters that attack Goran and Guy are Aérospatiale Gazelles. The Aérospatiale Gazelle was only operated by the Serbian Army during the Yugoslav Wars; therefore Goran and Guy as Serbian soldiers being attacked by a Serb Helicopter does not add up.
Notes
During the prisoner exchange a Serbian Soldier is seen with a Pump Action Shotgun, however it is seen to briefly and too unclearly to be worthy of documentation in IMFDB.
