Revision as of 21:44, 25 October 2011
District 9, abbreviated D-9, is a 2009 science fiction film directed by Neill Blomkamp and produced by Peter Jackson. Released August 13, 2009 internationally and August 14, 2009 in North America, the film takes place in Johannesburg, South Africa and is based on Alive In Joburg, a short film by Neill Blomkamp with Sharlto Copley, Simon Hansen and Shanon Worley.
IMFDB would like to thank the film's armorer, Olly Steele, for his contributions to the page.
The following weapons were used in the film District 9:
Vektor CR-21
Multi-National United (MNU) soldiers guarding the District 9 internment camp carry Vektor CR-21 rifles with white stocks and what appear to be Leupold CQ/T optical sights.
Vektor CR-21 Prototype "BW-90"
There is also the 1st prototype for the CR21 in the movie for the first time on screen. It is used by the Nigerians and has a lot of dressing draped on it.
This is called the BW90 after Bruce Wentzel who designed it in 1990 - Olly Steele.
Remington 870
MNU guard Thomas (Kenneth Nkosi) uses a Remington 870 with a South African made tactical light during the alien evictions. Another 870 is used by a mercenary during the shootout at MNU headquarters.
Vektor R1
Full-stocked Vektor R1 rifles, equipped with shell deflectors, wooden furniture, and scopes are carried by snipers aboard the helicopters circling District 9.
FN FAL 50.61
Vektor SS-77
A Vektor SS-77 machine gun is mounted on a helicopter circling District 9.
Heckler & Koch MP5A4/2
Some of the MNU PMCs are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5A4/A2 submachine guns.
Remington 870 14 inch barrel
An MNU PMC and the manager at Gunters both arm themselves with some sort of short barreled shotgun fitted with a side saddle.
Vektor R5
Several MNU mercenaries are armed with Vektor R5 carbines, the South African version of the Israeli Galil SAR.
Vektor R6
Throughout much of the final action sequence, Koobus is armed with a Vektor R6, a compact version of the R5 with a 11-inch barrel.
Beretta 92FS
MNU mercenary leader Koobus Venter (David James) carries a Beretta 92FS as his personal sidearm.
Vektor R4/R5 synthetic AK-47 mockup
An Kalashnikov-style rifle of unknown make is used by several mercenaries, with 5.56x45mm magazines, a 45 degree gas block and a shortened barrel. The front sight block is close to the gas block much like the Hungarian AMD-65 rifle, but the weapon differs in having a AK-74 style muzzle brake and black polymer furniture. Closer Inspection of the receiver and magazine show it to be a Vektor R4/R5 mocked up as some kind of AK-47 type rifle.

Flamethrower
Carried by MNU soldiers who burn down an alien hive. Unless proven otherwise, this weapon is probably a fictional model like countless other film productions. In a deleted scene in which Wikus steals an AFV, a canister that is attached to the flamethrower hose and nozzle is thrown from the vehicle before being driven off. The canister appears to be similar to a gas tank, much like that of a propane tank.
