The Raid: Redemption , also known as simply The Raid , is a 2011 Indonesian action film directed by Gareth Evans and starring Iko Uwais as a member of a 20-man Detachment 88 team that must fight its way out of a criminal-infested apartment building after being trapped there by a vicious drug lord. The film made its North American debut at the Toronto Film Festival, and entered a wider release in early 2012. A sequel, The Raid 2 , was released in 2014.
The making of the movie shows airsoft guns used as props in the movie. None of the firearms in this movie are real. The ejected shells and flashes were all added digitally.
The following weapons were used in the film The Raid: Redemption :
Handguns
Glock 17
Third-generation Glock 17 pistols are used by the Detachment 88 officers, including Rama (Iko Uwais ).
