Beaufort (Hebrew: בופור) is a 2007 Israeli war film directed by Joseph Cedar. Set during the Israeli withdrawal from Southern Lebanon in the summer of 2000, the film follows a group of IDF soldiers as they man a combat outpost at the ancient Crusader fortress of Beaufort Castle and the efforts of their commander, Lieutenant Liraz "Erez" Librati (Oshi Cohen), to keep his soldiers alive while they prepare for their eventual departure.
The following firearms are seen in the 2007 film Beaufort:
Most of the IDF soldiers, including Lieutenant Liraz, are armed with the Colt Model 653 Carbine. The carbines are mostly seen with two magazines taped together, and have attached Elbit Falcon or Mepro 21 reflex sights.
Dog handler Nadav (Hannan Yishai) holds a weapon resembling a Colt Model 733 Carbine while assisting Lieutenant Ziv Faran (Ohad Knoller) in defusing a land mine. As this is an Israeli film however, it is more likely that this weapon is actually a cut down Colt Model 653 Carbine, known locally as a "Mekut'zrar". Furthermore, this carbine has an A1 receiver, and although early Model 733s could be found with A1 upper receivers, A1E1 and A2 upper receivers were much more common. It also appears to be fitted with a flash hider that is longer than the standard "birdcage" type.
FN MAG 58 machine guns are seen in the bunkers that surround the outpost. They are also mounted on various IDF vehicles, including Humvees, M113 APCs and Merkava tanks.
