	~~[[Image:WildTargetPoster.jpg\|thumb\|right\|300px\|''Wild Target'' (2010)]]~~
	'''Wild Target''' is a 2010 British remake of the 1993 French film ''"Cible Emouvante"'' (starring [[Jean Rochefort]]). [[Bill Nighy]] stars as Victor Maynard, a world weary assassin, who has second thoughts about his assignment to eliminate a con artist, Rose ([[Emily Blunt]]) and he ends up being enamored by her free spirit and wild ways. Upon his refusal to carry out his assignment, Victor now must protect her from other hired guns who have been sent to finish the job. Meanwhile Victor, not having an heir and coming from a long line of assassins, tries to train an inept protege, Tony ([[Rupert Grint]], better known as Ron Weasley from the ''[[Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone\|Harry Potter]]'' films), and prepare him for the world of hired killers.

	~~'''The following guns were used in the film ''Wild Target'':'''~~
	~~__TOC__<br clear=all>~~
	~~==Beretta 92FS==~~
	A [[Beretta 92FS]] is used by Victor Maynard ([[Bill Nighy]]) in several hits. The pistol he uses has an extended barrel (sometimes) and an ornate laser/light attachment to the front rail. His mother Louisa ([[Eileen Atkins]]) calls the Beretta the "Pistol of Princes," reminding Victor that she gave him one for his seventh birthday.

	~~[[Image:BerettaM92FS.jpg\|thumb\|350px\|none\|Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm]]~~
	[[Image:WildTarget-BerettaAssembleHIt.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|''"Would you like a little coffee?"'' Victor Maynard ([[Bill Nighy]]) screws on a suppressor to his Beretta as he practices his French language skills on an intended target before killing him.]]
	[[Image:WildTarget-BerettaShoot.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Being a comedy, Victor holds his guns like he holds cups of tea (not only done intentionally for comedic effect, but Nighy has a medical condition called Dupuytren's contracture, which makes him unable to straighten the last two fingers of his hand)]]
	[[Image:WildTarget BerettaAssemble02.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|While trying to train Tony, Victor Maynard ([[Bill Nighy]]) disassembles and reassembles his Beretta blindfolded in seconds. Again, note Victor's trademark comedic grasp of the weapon.]]
	[[Image:Wildtarget-BerettaPartsFly.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Tony ([[Rupert Grint]]) ineptly tries to mimic Victor, and the slide, spring and Op rod go flying across the room, hitting Victor in the head.]]

	~~==Heckler and Koch USP==~~
	~~Dixon ([[Martin Freeman]]) uses a suppressed [[Heckler and Koch USP]] as his sidearm throughout the movie.~~
	~~[[File:USP9mm.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|400px\|Heckler and Koch USP - 9x19mm]]~~

	~~==Heckler and Koch P7M8==~~
	~~Used by Dixon's assistant Fabian ([[Geoff Bell]]) as his sidearm throughout the movie.~~
	~~[[File:P7M8Pistol.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|400px\|Heckler and Koch P7M8 - 9x19mm]]~~

	~~==Smith & Wesson 686==~~
	Though at first glance it may resemble the [[Smith & Wesson Model 681]] as used prominently in ''[[Snatch]]'', this has adjustable rear sights and a different front sight, indicating that it is a [[Smith & Wesson Model 686]].
	~~[[Image:S&WModel686.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|400px\|Smith & Wesson Model 686 4" Barrel - .357 Magnum]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-S&W686.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Barney (James O'Donnell) aims his Smith & Wesson 686 at Rose.]]~~

	~~==Taurus PT92AFS==~~
	~~New model [[Taurus PT92]]AFS (Stainless with fixed rear sights) are seen used both by Ferguson's bodyguard Mike (Gregor Fisher) and Tony ([[Rupert Grint]]).~~
	~~[[File:Taurus92NoRails.jpg\|thumb\|none\|300px]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-taurusPT9mm.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Tony ([[Rupert Grint]]) aims the Taurus.]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-PT92SS.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|A wounded Mike (Gregor Fisher) fires his Taurus PT92AFS at Rose's car.]]~~

	~~==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"==~~
	~~Rose ([[Emily Blunt]]) wields Victor's father's Mauser Broomhandle. Dixon ([[Martin Freeman]]) aims the Mauser in the climax.~~

	~~[[Image:C96Pistol.jpg\|thumb\|none\|400px\|Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]~~
	~~[[Image:WT-BluntBroomhandle.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Rose ([[Emily Blunt]]) using Victor's father's Mauser Broomhandle]]~~

	~~==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==~~
	Victor Maynard ([[Bill Nighy]]) uses an [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] as his preferred 'sniper' weapon. Using a submachine gun as a sniping weapon is an unusual choice, since Submachine guns are built and designed specifically for CQB. If he wanted a 'sub rifle caliber' autoloading weapon, there are many other choices which would be more suitable.
	~~[[File:MP5A3.jpg\|thumb\|none\|500px]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-MP5AimNighy.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-MP5Load01.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|In the film, Victor uses a 15 round 'short' magazine for the MP5. Notice the markings on the trigger assembly. U-J-R?]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-MP5Cocked.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTargetMP5Case.jpg‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-MP5Smile.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~
	~~[[Image:WildTarget-MP5Shoot.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~

	~~==Heckler & Koch MP5A5 Navy Lower==~~
	~~Later in the film, Victor uses an MP5A5, as does his mother, Louisa ([[Eileen Atkins]]).~~
	[[Image:H&KMP5A5.jpg\|thumb\|none\|450px\|Heckler and Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm - Same as the MP5A4 but with a telescoping stock. Both the A4 & A5 variants have the additional option for '3 round burst' on the selector.]]
	~~[[Image:Wildtarget-MP5NavyLower.jpg‎‎\|thumb\|none\|600px\|]]~~

	~~== 12 gauge Double-Barreled Shotgun ==~~
	~~Victor's mother, Louisa Maynard ([[Eileen Atkins]]) uses and holds a double barreled shotgun, most likely one of the many boutique side by sides that are common in the U.K.~~
	~~[[Image:WT-SHotgun.jpg\|thumb\|none\|600px\|Louisa Maynard holds a sawn down double barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]~~

	:Pretty sure it's just badly faded, which, combined with the lighting, makes it look painted over. I've seen some 4-position MP5 lowers where the paint was almost gone and you could barely see the selector markings. I'm guessing that at one point in production of Navy lower receivers, H&K used some type of paint that was crap, but I don't know the whole story. -[[User:MT2008\|MT2008]] ([[User talk:MT2008\|talk]]) 11:28, 26 May 2014 (EDT)		:Pretty sure it's just badly faded, which, combined with the lighting, makes it look painted over.

			:::No it isn't flipped, you can just make out the magazine release button which is on the right side of the magazine well hence making this correct. Also, FYI the Navy/burst trigger packs are ambidextrous, I guess he is just using the right side for better framing of the shot as the left side would be facing his body so harder to show being manipulated. --[[User:Commando552\|commando552]] ([[User talk:Commando552\|talk]]) 13:13, 26 May 2014 (EDT)

	So they have a continuity error when they use an insert shot of Victor flicking off the safety on his MP5, it's hardly new. But, I did notice that the burst and full auto options are partially obscured. You can clearly see them, yet it looks like they've been painted over. Does H&K cut corners on their semi-auto MP5s this way? --[[User:Funkychinaman\|Funkychinaman]] ([[User talk:Funkychinaman\|talk]]) 05:21, 26 May 2014 (EDT)		So they have a continuity error when they use an insert shot of Victor flicking off the safety on his MP5, it's hardly new.
