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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing As if the distance didn't make it hard enough, this gun looks like nothing I've seen. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A French UN soldier with an unknown LMG, noted by carry handle. Note Beta-C drum magazine.
I don't think so. And the sight isn't very AR-15ish. Plus, the AR-15 has the elavated sights on the carry handle. Why would it need a second carry handle when it already has one? It's not likely. -GM -you do know I was talking about the front sights not the rear ones, right. -AdAstra2009 this should prob be moved to discussion
Yeah, I know. What I'm saying is that the carry handle, which houses the rear sight, is already one carry handle, so that second folding handle seen on the gun pretty much denounces that is an AR-15, right? -GM
