Please note, this film page is added for firearms documentation only, and members of IMFDB do not support its claims, which many find offensive to veterans and military personnel.

Redacted is a 2007 Iraq war film written and directed by Brian De Palma. The film is loosely based on the 2006 Mahmudiyah killings, in which a group of U.S. Army soldiers were charged with the rape and murder of a 14-year-old Iraqi girl and the subsequent murder of her family. The film, which received mixed reactions from critics and was a box office disappointment in its limited release, stirred up controversy, as many felt the depiction of US military personnel in the film was unfair and did not paint an accurate representation of US involvement during the war.

The following guns were used in the film Redacted
