Seen at the beginning of the film in the hands of a police officer.

Vektor R6

Bongani Zulu's partner uses this to fire on a Poleepkwa with an Type 56.

Uzi

A police officer is seen with a full-size Uzi.

It's hard to see, but the rear sights signify a full-size Uzi.

Toy Mini-Uzi

A child is seen with a toy Mini-Uzi.

How cute.

FN Minimi

Troops are seen with the FN Minimi.

On the left, the stock of an FN Minimi is seen

• The shot is from archival footage of South African soldiers during the 1980s, so the stock is more likely that of a R4 rifle (Galil).

On the far left, it's a Minimi. You can tell. I think there's a shot that shows the backsights, and the pistol grip is more in line with a Minimi than an R4.

1911-style pistol, likely Star BS

Constable Zulu or his partner is seen with this stuck in the back of his pants while apprehending a Poleepkwa criminal.
