House of Saddam
House of Saddam is the 2008 four part drama detailing the rise and fall of Iraq's most infamous president, Saddam Hussein. Currently shown on BBC Four and BBC iPlayer services. If you plan on watching the series, please be aware that there may be spoilers in the descriptions. Read at your own risk.
Walther/Manurhin PPK
In the first episode, the first gun that is clearly seen is a Walther PPK, although with markings along the slide which indicate it may have been made by the French outfit Manurhin under license from Walther.
The gun is used to preform 'executions' of 22 members of the Ba'ath party members and used by Saddam Personally to kill his best friend and ally Adnan Hamdani.
M1 Garand
While hunting in Tikrit, both Saddam and his son Uday use an M1 Garand.
Beretta M92FS-C Inox
Now a slightly older Uday loses control of himself in a Baghdad nightclub shortly after Iraq's 'victory' over Iran.
The gun appears to be, at first, a Beretta M92FS Inox. However, the gun features a slightly shorter barrel than the FS, aswell as having a shorter profile overall.
- That is definitely not anything in the 92 series. It looks more like a Beretta Cheetah (84F) to me.
Colt M1911A1
The gun is seen first at a gun range which is used by Saddam and his military advisers. It is then used by Saddam in threatening Uday in the prison cell after Uday kills Kamel Hana.
AKM's & AK-47
Variants of the AK-47 assault rifle are used many times throughout the series. They are also mentioned on the attempted assassination of Saddam Hussein. Many of Saddam's men and infantry carry AK-47s or AKMs.
