African Rebel machine gun. Note the charging handle which an WW1 era machine gun did not have. The barrel is also at the center of the cylinder which is incorrect. A real Maxim or Vickers respective barrels were at the bottom of the cylinder. Also note the FN MAG carrying handle sticking out on the right side.

FN FAL/LAR (modified to look like Lewis-gun)

The main villain Dogati uses a FN LAR modified to look like a World War 1 Lewis light machine gun. The movie was filmed in Zimbabwe so there was no lack of FN FAL derivatives due to its popularity on that continent.
