City of God
City of God (Portuguese: Cidade de Deus) is a 2002 Brazilian film directed by Fernando Mirelles and Katia Lund. Based on a true story, the film chronicles the development of one of Rio De Janeiro's most notorious favelas (Portuguese word for "Slum/Ghetto") as told through the perspective of Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues), an aspiring photographer.
The following weapons are seen in the 2002 film City of God:
Revolvers
Gerard Revolver
What appears to be a Gerard Revolver is seen when Carrot's gang robs a supermarket. These weapons were made in Belgium and used by the Brazilian military in the 19th century, before being replaced by the Luger in 1906.
Smith & Wesson Model 10
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolver is seen being carried by Shaggy. It is later seen in the hands of a dead gangster. What appears to be a nickel Model 10 is also used by Rocket, having been given it by his brother, Goose.
Rossi M-851 Revolver
Rocket (Alexandre Rodrigues) carries his brother's revolver during a sequence where he considers becoming a criminal. In a continuity error it turns into a Rossi M-851. This weapon was introduced in 2001 and is anachronistic to the film's setting.

A chrome-plated Taurus Model 65 revolver with a four inch barrel and rubber grips is carried by Lil' Ze. It is identified by its distinctive cylinder release.
Pistols
Taurus PT92
The Taurus PT92 is seen in the hands of gang members. It should be noted that while the film is set between the 1960s and the late 1970s, the PT92 was only introduced in 1983.
Beretta 92FS
A Beretta 92FS is seen when Lil'Ze's gangsters teach the runts how to use guns.
Imbel M1911A1 pistol

Submachine Guns
M3 'Grease Gun'
The M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun" is used by Li'l Ze throughout the latter parts of the film. Due to a continuity error, the M3 occasionally switches places with the INA Model 953 during the final gunbattle.
INA Model 953
The INA Model 953 (the Brazilian version of the Madsen M50 submachine gun) is seen in the hands of police officers and gang members in both Lil' Ze and Carrot's gangs.
IMI Micro Uzi
The Micro Uzi submachine gun is frequently seen in the hands of gang members. Interestingly, one of the Micro Uzis depicted is fitted with the full sized stock of the original Uzi. Carrot uses a Micro Uzi with a wooden stock during the final gunbattle; due to a continuity error it occasionally swtiches places with a INA Model 953.
Rifles
Mauser M1908
Some gangsters are armed with Mauser M1908 rifles.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is carried by one of Carrot's gang members when they rob a bank to fund their arms purchases, as well as by Military Police (Brazilian Gendarmerie) officers. Li'l Ze's gang also are seen with a chrome-plated M1 carbine with a folding stock and 30-round magazines, notably in the scene where they pose for Rocket's camera.
Browning Automatic Rifle
When Charlie the arms dealer(Charles Paraventi) tries to sell weapons to Li'l Ze's gang, one of the weapons he shows off is a Browning Automatic Rifle. He calls it a ".30 Browning" and claims it can shoot down airplanes.
FN Model 1949
Knockout Ned (Seu Jorge) purchases a FN Model 1949 from Charlie (Charles Paraventi). He uses the rifle during the final gunbattle against Li'l Ze's gang, killing several gangsters with the weapon during it. He manually cocks the bolt after each shot. The FN Model 1949 (also known as the SAFN-49) was a semi-automatic design that was adopted by several countries, including Brazil, before being superseded by such battle rifles as the FN FAL.
