Innocent Voices (Voces inocentes) is a 2004 Mexican war drama. It depicts the tragedy of the Salvadoran Civil War through the eyes of children, as narrated by eleven-year-old boy Chava.

The following weapons were used in the film Innocent Voices:

Handguns

M1911-Style Pistol

Chava's uncle Beto (José Maria Yazpik), a guerrilla fighter, holds an M1911-style pistol in one scene. M1911-style pistols are also used by officers of the Salvadoran Army.

For comparison: World War II Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP

In the scene when the schoolboys are recruited into the army, an officer of the government troops carries an M1911-style pistol with pearl grips in a holster.

Beto draws his pistol.

The grip and the trigger guard that is more angular than on original M1911s is seen.

The barrel is seen.

Unidentified Revolver

An unidentified revolver is very briefly seen in the hands of a guerrilla fighter.

Shotguns

Guerrillas use pump-action shotguns. These guns are seen very briefly and unclear.

Assault Rifles

M16

Most soldiers of the Salvadoran Army are armed with M16/SP1 assault rifles with 20- and 30-round magazines. Guerrillas also use M16s.

M16A2

Some soldiers and guerrilla fighters are armed with M16A2 assault rifles. Its appearance in the hands of the Salvadoran Army and FMLN guerillas is highly anachronistic; the M16A2 was not exported to El Salvador during the Civil War (by 1986, the M16A2 had only just been adopted by the US Army and Marine Corps), and the Salvadoran Army did not adopt the M16A2 for service until 2007.

In the opening scene one of the soldiers, escorting arrested boys, holds an M16A2, note the extended magazine.

ArmaLite AR-18

AR-18s are also seen in the hands of several soldiers. The AR-18 was never used by the Salvadoran Army during the Civil War.

Norinco Type 56

Some guerrilla fighters are armed with Norinco Type 56 assault rifles. During the shootout between guerrillas and soldiers, Chava picks up a Type 56.

Chava aims at a child soldier... but recognizes his former classmate and can't shoot. The hooded front sight of the Type 56 is seen.

Various AKs

Some other guerrilla fighters are armed with AKs that are seen only at a distance, so it's impossible to identify the exact model.

Machine Guns

Vickers Mk.1

A water-cooled machine gun that appears to be based on a variant of the Vickers Mk.1 Machine Gun is mounted on the turret of the government armored car. It is likely a non-firing mock-up, as the machine gun lacks a barrel inside the water jacket, and the shooting is imitated. The Vickers Mk.1 was not used in the Civil War by either the Salvadoran Army or the FMLN guerrillas.
