A Beretta 92 pistol makes several appearances in the film in the hands of many characters. This particular Beretta is the first model produced (and the sole reason why someone should never list a Beretta as a "Beretta 92" when they can't tell if it is an F or FS.) and it is somewhat strange to see it so actively used during this event (which only takes place in 1994.) The first of these users is a Rwandan Army commander who draws his sidearm and orders Paul Rusesabagina (Don Cheadle) to execute his friends for being "Tutsie Cockroaches", but he manages to bribe the commander into letting them go. One of the UN soldiers under Colonel Oliver's (Nick Nolte) command also is seen armed with a Beretta 92. Another random Rwandan officer is seen waking up Paul somewhat unpleasantly with the barrel of his 92. The last of these users is General Bizimungu (Fana Mokoena), who fires his 92 into the air as he orders his men to rush back to the hotel to stop the attacking Rwandan attackers.
While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a Rwandan soldier trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel. Its strange form makes it look like a flashpaper or airsoft replica.
The AK variants are the most used weapons of the Rwandan soldiers and the Rwandan Army in many different models, including 5.56x45mm, 5.45x39mm, and 7.62x39mm variants. The following pictures are left to be identified by people better with AKs than me. They are in order so if they are separated as a new gun, please make sure they stay in proper order.
First of all, it's "variants". Haha, just a minor spelling mistake I see you make often.
Damn, thanks for the correction. It's like the guage/gauge thing. -GM
7.62x39mm
The ones with the blond furniture appear to be the Egyptian Maadis that are common in Hollywood, the ones with dark wood appear to be Polish kBk variants, except as noted.
Actually, this one above is an East German MPi-KMS. The Romanians copied that style of folding stock from East Germany later, but the German guns don't have the forward vertical grip.
