Revision as of 17:51, 3 September 2010

The following guns were used in the film Hotel Rwanda:

Hotel Rwanda (2004)


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 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.

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.

Gen. Bizimungu fires his Beretta 92 into the air as his men rush to save the hotel.

Beretta 92FS

While the Beretta 92 is the most prominently uses Beretta, a Beretta 92FS is seen used by a 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.
