Revision as of 02:05, 13 November 2008
The following guns were used in the film Hotel Rwanda:
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 "Tutsie 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.
Browning Hi-Power
Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte) is seen using a Browning Hi-Power as his sidearm through out the film.
Beretta 92FS
While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a Rwandan soldier trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel. Its strange form makes it look like a flashpaper or airsoft replica.
AK Variants
The AK variants are the most used weapons of the Rwandan soldiers and the Rwandan Army in many different models, including 5.56x45mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x39mm variants. The following pictures are left to be identified by people better with AKs than me. They are in order so if they are separated as a new gun, please make sure they stay in proper order.
- First of all, it's "variants". Haha, just a minor spelling mistake I see you make often.
- Damn, thanks for the correction. It's like the guage/gauge thing. -GM
- I just had everything corrected and a damn edit conflict came up and the page glitched. (FUCK!)
Makes me think it's gotta be a kBk. Also, I assume you'll make a separate entry for the FN MAG held by the other guy?
- Of course.
.223/5.45
The long-barreled ones seem to be those WASR-3s we saw in Casino Royale and Sahara (2005). The short barreled ones I'm not so sure about. They seem to use the same-style mags as the WASR-3s, so they might just be guns that were given the folding stocks and had their barrels shortened - more of the "Franken-AKs", if you will.
The bottom one doesn't seem to be a Type 84s. The color of the furniture is all wrong, and the gas tube and front sight are clearly AKM-style, whereas the Type 84, like the Type 56 (which it's a .223 version of), has the older-style AK-47 gas tube and front sight.
