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

South African troops are seen with the FN Minimi.

• 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 rear sights, 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.
