INA Model 953

The INA Model 953, the Brazilian version of the Danish Madsen M50 SMG. Recognized by its stamped metal body which, literally, is held together by the barrel nut (which was known to come loose on its own, spilling the internal mechanisms on the ground). Brazil manufactured it in .45 ACP instead of the standard 9mm.

Unidentified rifles

In the opening scenes, Caio Junqueira opens fire with an unidentified scoped rifle. It might be an Imbel AGLC, but I can’t identify it with certainty. It's maybe IMBEL M/968 (old Czech or Belgian Mauser enhanced with new 0.308 barrel in the 60's).

Shotguns
