The following weapons were used in the film Savior:

Savior (1998)


Beretta 92F

The Beretta-pistols seen in the Mosque shooting scene are presumed to be of the Beretta 92F model, since both Joshua Rose/Guy (Dennis Quaid) and Peter Dominic (Stellan Skarsgard) are US Marine officers and thus having the right to carry them. A Beretta M92 is also seen in the hands of the wounded muslim who is shot.

Heckler & Koch G3A3

These weapons can be seen in the hands of the Foreign Legion recruits in the beginning of the movie.

Galil Sniper Rifle

The true identity of the "sniper rifle" used by Guy in the movie has been a topic of hot debates over the years. The weapon makes its first appearance at the beginning, when Guy is seen being trained to its use in the Foreign Legion. Later, he is seen using it in Bosnia.

It would seem that the weapon is a modified Galil sniper rifle. The modifications seem to include a scope along with the needed attachments, a cheek pad and a folding bipod. The weapon also uses a slightly curved magazine, whereas the normal Galil sniper rifle has straight box magazine. It could be an AK-47 mocked up as a Galil sniper rifle.

Heckler & Koch MP5A2

The MP5-A2 is used in the film by the Serbian soldier Goran. The weapon can be identified as a A2-model by its fixed stock. It is unclear, however, if German MP5A2's were used by Serbian militias during the actual Yugoslavian civil war, though.

unknown SKS rifle type

The movie takes place in Bosnia during the Yugoslavian Civil War, and thus many Yugoslavian or possibly Russian weapons can be seen in the movie. Some of the militias appear to be armed with either the Zastava M59/66 rifle (local copy of the SKS rifle), regular SKS's, or even VZ52 Rifles.

Yugoslavian SKS M59/66 rifle with blade bayonet and grenade launcher attached to barrel, the variant most seen during the Balkan Wars - 7.62x39mm. The Yugoslavian M59 is nearly identical to the Russian SKS, it is the M59/66 which has the grenade launcher attachment at the end of the barrel.

Zastava M70

The Zastava M70B1 and Zastava M70AB2 rifles can be seen very briefly used by various militias and soldiers.
