Beaufort (Hebrew: בופור) is a 2007 Israeli war film directed by Joseph Cedar. Set during the Israeli withdrawal from Southern Lebanon in the summer of 2000, the film follows a group of IDF soldiers as they man a combat outpost at the ancient Crusader fortress of Beaufort Castle and the efforts of their commander, Lieutenant Liraz "Erez" Librati (Oshi Cohen), to keep his soldiers alive while they prepare for their eventual departure.
The following firearms are seen in the 2007 film Beaufort:
Rifles
Colt Model 653
Most of the IDF soldiers, including Lieutenant Liraz, are armed with the Colt Model 653 Carbine. The carbines are mostly seen with two magazines taped together, and have attached Elbit Falcon or Mepro 21 reflex sights.
Colt Model 733
Dog handler Nadav (Hannan Yishai) holds a weapon resembling a Colt Model 733 Carbine while assisting Lieutenant Ziv Faran (Ohad Knoller) in defusing a land mine. As this is an Israeli film however, it is more likely that this weapon is actually a cut down Colt Model 653 Carbine, known locally as a "Mekut'zrar". Furthermore, this carbine has an A1 receiver, and although early Model 733s could be found with A1 upper receivers, A1E1 and A2 upper receivers were much more common. It also appears to be fitted with a flash hider that is longer than the standard "birdcage" type.
Colt M16A2
A few soldiers can be seen with M16A2 rifles as they are preparing to evacuate the base.
M14
A scoped M14 rifle is held by a marksman during the mine defusal scene.
Machine Guns
IMI Negev
The IMI Negev is seen in a few scenes, most prominently when Liraz issues the orders to abandon the outpost.
FN MAG-58
FN MAG 58 machine guns are seen in the bunkers that surround the outpost. They are also mounted on various IDF vehicles, including Humvees, M113 APCs and Merkava tanks.
Other
RPG-7
A RPG-7 launcher and ammunition backpack can be seen amongst the equipment inside the outpost.
M15 Anti-Tank Mines
Engineers use M15 anti-tank mines to destroy the outpost in order to deny its use to Hezbollah guerrillas.
