Redacted is a 2007 Iraq War film written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film is fictional, although it is loosely based on the 2006 Mahmudiyah killings, in which a group of U.S. Army soldiers raped a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and killed her and her family. The film, which received mixed reactions from critics and was a box office disappointment in its limited release, stirred up controversy, as many felt the depiction of American soldiers in the film was unfair and did not paint an accurate representation of American involvement in the Iraq War.
The following guns were used in the film Redacted:
M4A1 Carbine
As in reality, the M4A1 Carbine is the standard-issue weapon of the U.S. Army soldiers in the film, many of which are customized with optical gunsights, lasers, and foregrips.
M203 grenade launcher
Some of the U.S. Army soldiers, including SPC B.B. Rush (Daniel Stewart Sherman) and SGT Jim Vazquez (Mike Figueroa) carry M4A1 Carbines with M203 grenade launchers.
Norinco Type 56
PFC Reno Flake (Patrick Carroll) disarms an Iraqi grandfather of his Norinco Type 56 when he attempts to defend his family with it. He then shoots and kills the whole family off-screen.
AKM
Al-Qaeda in Iraq (AQI) members who capture PFC Angel Salazar in revenge for the killings of the Iraqi family are seen armed with AKM rifles.
Beretta M9
The standard issue sidearm of the U.S. Army soldiers in the film is the Beretta M9, although it could be a Beretta 92FS, as in most films. PFC Reno Flake (Patrick Carroll) uses his to threaten SPC Lawyer McCoy (Rob Devaney) when he refuses to take part in the gang-rape of the Iraqi girl.
FN M249-E2 SAW
SPC B.B. Rush (Daniel Stewart Sherman) carries a FN M249-E2 SAW during the scene in which the unit learns that their tour has been extended.
Browning M2HB
PFC Reno Flake (Patrick Carroll) uses a HMMWV-mounted Browning M2HB to shoot and kill a pregnant Iraqi woman when her husband tries to rush through a checkpoint in an attempt to quickly reach a hospital.
