Hotel Rwanda (2004)

The following weapons were used in the film Hotel Rwanda:

Handguns

Beretta 92

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 "Tutsi Cockroaches", but he manages to bribe the commander into letting them go. One of the Canadian UN peacekeepers 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 Rwandan attackers.

Beretta 92, the first Beretta model produced, noted by rounded trigger guard, butt located magazine release, and frame mounted safety (pre-decocking safety) - 9mm.

The Rwandan commander orders Paul to execute his friends with his Beretta 92. He declines, claiming he doesn't use guns to which the commander responds by firing his gun into the air to show Paul how "easy" it is.

The commander holds his Beretta 92 to Paul's head.

Beretta 92FS

While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently used Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by an Interahamwe trying to arrest Paul when the soldiers invade the hotel. Its strange form makes it look like a flashpaper or airsoft replica.

Beretta 92FS - 9mm.

An Interahamwe sticks his Beretta 92FS in Paul's face.

Browning Hi-Power

Colonel Oliver (Nick Nolte), commander of the UN peacekeeping forces, is seen using a Browning Hi-Power as his sidearm throughout the film. This is accurate as he is a Canadian officer and the Canadians used the Browning Hi-Power as their sidearm at the time.

Browning Hi-Power - 9mm.

Submachine Guns

Uzi Carbine

A Belgian army officer is seen armed with an Uzi Carbine. This weapon is a civilian gun though and would not have been issued to actual Belgian troops, so it is an inaccuracy.

IMI Uzi Carbine Model A - 9mm.

Automatic Rifles

AK Variants

The AK variants are the most common weapons of the Rwandan soldiers and the Rwandan Army, and come in many different models including Egyptian Maadi AKMs (modified with Russian parts kits), Polish dark-wood kBks, and Norinco Type 56s.

AKMS - 7.62x39mm.

Both of these Rwandan soldiers are armed with AKMS variants when they pull a man out of his house in the night and beat him in the street.

Vektor R4

Rwandan Army soldiers carry Vektor R4 assault rifles. This is historically accurate as R4 rifles (South African made versions of the Galil ARM) were imported for use with the Rwandan National Army in 1992. Some of the Kalashnikovs in the film are actually Converted R4 rifles, as indicated by the Galil magazines and machined receivers.

Vektor R4 - 5.56x45mm NATO.

A French soldier tries to hold back the refugees with his FAMAS in hand. Note that this FAMAS is clearly a rubber dummy version; the poor molding is plainly evident, especially by the lack of a rear sight on the carry handle. Also note that despite holding what's essentially a piece of rubber, the soldier is still showing excellent trigger discipline.

FN FAL

Belgian soldiers are largely seen using FN FAL Paratrooper rifles with folding stocks. In reality, Belgian troops were armed with FN FNC rifles.

FN FAL Paratrooper 50.63 - 7.62x51mm NATO.

Heckler & Koch G3A3 (South African configuration)

Both Rwandan soldiers and the Pakistani UN peacekeepers under Colonel Oliver's command are armed with South African-configuration Heckler & Koch G3A3 rifles. This is accurate as the Pakistani army used the G3 at the time, though their versions were built in Pakistan.

Heckler & Koch G3A3 (South African Configuration) - 7.62x51mm NATO.
