__TOC__<br clear=all>
In 1997, before the visit of the pope to Rio de Janeiro, Captain Nascimento from BOPE (Special Police Operation Battalion) is assigned to eliminate the risks of the drug dealers in a dangerous slum nearby where the pope intends to be lodged. Captain Nascimento is trying to find a man to replace him because his wife is pregnant and he intends to quit the command and become a trainer of the new recruits. Meanwhile, the two idealistic friends Neto and Matias join the Military Police force expecting to become honest policemen and fight the criminals…(Plot summary from Imdb.com)
 
This is an excellent picture. It is somewhat difficult to obtain good scans because most action takes place at night and the action is fast. Nevertheless, we can see some interesting firearms:
=Pistols=
 
== Glock ==
Caio Junqueira uses 2 handguns in the movie: a Glock, and a Taurus PT-92. The Glock could be a Glock 19, 23 or 25. It's most likely a Glock 25 in .380 ACP.

Heckler & Koch HK94A3

A chopped and converted Heckler & Koch HK94A3 is used by Wagner Moura in several scenes, as noted by its lack of paddle magazine release and barrel lugs, and the metal lower receiver.

INA Model 953

The INA Model 953, the Brazilian version of the Danish Madsen M50 SMG. Recognized by its stamped metal body which, literally, is held together by the barrel nut (which was known to come loose on its own, spilling the internal mechanisms on the ground). Brazil manufactured it in .45 ACP instead of the standard 9mm.

Unidentified rifles

In the opening scenes, Caio Junqueira opens fire with an unidentified scoped rifle. It might be an Imbel AGLC, but I can’t identify it with certainty. It's maybe IMBEL M/968 (old czech or belgian Mauser enhanced with new 0.308 barrel in the 60's). The new BOPE recruits can be seen training with rifles that are probably made in Brazil, but I can’t identify them (help requested).

Shotguns

12 Gauge pump shotguns

Several pump shotguns are seen in the hands of the BOPE agents. They are probably Brazilian-made guns, from CBC (companhia brasileira de cartuchos) or from Boito. I’m not familiarized with these shotguns, and therefore, cannot identify them (help requested).

It's surely CBC 586P (variant of Smith & Wesson 916) which is standard pump shotgun of BOPE.
