The Siege of Jadotville is a historical war drama covering the true story of the Siege of Jadotville, involving Irish UN Peacekeepers of 'A' Company, 35th Battalion and Katangese rebels in 1961 during the Congo Crisis.
Pistols
Browning Hi-Power
Commandant Pat Quinlan (Jamie Dornan) carries a Browning Hi-Power as his sidearm. He briefly unholsters it when confronting the mercenary commander.
Walther P38
The mercenary commander carries a Walther P38. He unholsters it when confronting Commandant Quinlan for the last time.
Rifles
FN FAL
Both the Irish Army and the mercenaries/Katangese rebels extensively use FN FALs. They are shown to be capable of fully automatic fire.
Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1
Several members of 'A' Company carry Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk 1*s instead of FALs.
Lee Enfield No.4 Mk1(T)
The company sniper carries a Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk1(T).
Submachine Guns
Carl Gustav M/45
Several 'A' Company NCOs use Carl Gustav M/45s.
MAT-49
Several mercenaries, including their commander, use MAT-49s.
Machine Guns
Bren MkI
'A' Company employs several Bren guns. The company sniper switches to a Bren to make a long distance shot, for unknown reasons, likely a reference to the Bren being called "too accurate" by gunners.
Vickers Gun

Browning M1919A4
The mercenaries use several Browning M1919A4s mounted on vehicles.

A mercenary uses FN MAG 58 fired from the hip.
