The Beretta pistols seen in the Parisian mosque shooting scene are presumed to be the [[Beretta M92F|M9]] model, since both Joshua Rose/Guy ([[Dennis Quaid]]) and Peter Dominic ([[Stellan Skarsgard]]) are US government officers and thus having the right to carry them.

Vektor R4

Joshua Rose/Guy (Dennis Quaid) is trained on a Vektor R4 modified for the Designated Marksman role when he joins the French Foreign Legion that he uses throughout the film. This weapon would be accurate for the Bosnian Serb military which purchased a few thousand R4 rifles during the conflict, but not for the French Foreign Legion. The modifications include a scope mounted on an AK-style receiver mount (the original Galil scope mount notch was replaced by a lightening cut on the R4) along with a cheek rest which has been installed on the original folding stock and removal of the sights.

Trivia

Aérospatiale Gazelle

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The helicopters that attack Goran and Guy are Aérospatiale Gazelles. The Aérospatiale Gazelle was only operated by the Bosnian Serb army during the Yugoslav Wars; therefore Goran and Guy as Bosnian Serb soldiers being attacked by a Bosnian Serb helicopter does not add up. While the current Bosnian military operates 4 Gazelles the former Bosniak "Army of the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina" did not.

Notes

  • During the prisoner exchange a Bosnian Serb soldier is seen with a pump action shotgun, however it is seen too briefly and is too blurred to be worthy of documentation in IMFDB.
