District B13 (original title Banlieue 13 ) is a 2004 French action film directed by Pierre Morel . The film is set in a near future where a poor suburb of Paris known as District B13 has been walled off from the rest of the city. The plot revolves around an undercover police officer who has been assigned to locate a stolen bomb that has been hidden in the district. Known for its parkour scenes, the film would spawn a direct sequel: District 13: Ultimatum as well as Brick Mansions , a 2014 American remake that starred Paul Walker and original District B13 star David Belle .
The following weapons were used in the film District B13 :
Pistols

Beretta 92FS (Modified)
Seen during the fight in the gambling den, one of Montoya's men fires a full-auto pistol that strongly resembles the pistol used in Underworld: Evolution . Most likely a heavily modified Beretta 92FS with a custom extended front end and an extended magazine, though this is an educated guess based on general shape and usage in other movies.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The Beretta 92FS pistols used in the movie Underworld , and modified to fire on full auto with barrel weights attached and compensators added - 9x19mm

Error creating thumbnail: File missing An officer dropping two 9x19mm magazines to Tomaso.

SIG-Sauer P220
Captain Damien Tomaso (Cyril Raffaelli ) grabs a pair of SIG pistols during a fight. The full size and large aperture of the barrel would indicate a big caliber like a .45 ACP, so the assumption is that they are P220s .
Error creating thumbnail: File missing SIG-Sauer P220 - .45 ACP
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Tomaso fires two Sig Sauer P220 pistols.

One of Taha's henchmen holds a AKS-74U style of weapon with a 5.56 waffle pattern magazine with an underfolding stock.

Colt Model 733
Actually a "733 looking gun". Being a French film and the fact that French Armorers always do strange things with their guns, we see what looks like a Colt Model 733 short barreled assault rifle. However the barrel looks a little too long to be the 11" for the real 733 and too short to be the 14" for the 653, so it seems to be an intermediate length barrel (which means it's a custom barrel job from a real M16 carbine). It is seen briefly when Taha's men storm out of the building.
