that's the mortar weapon used to blow up the side of the MNU building in the attack

And there is a second unnamed gun being carried out of D9 by the MNU. This one is very large.

The repulsor type weapon is the AMR - B13 and the large one that Wikus Van De Merwe finds ends up being a flamethrower type weapon that fires a green flame taggartusmaximus

  • Actually the gun used on the Nigerians is smaller than the AMR-B13 and colored white and has three cylinders at the end. The large gun I was referring to is being carried out of District 9 by a group of workers. The flamethrower is the AMR-B07.
