+==Armory==
+A multitude of firearms can be seen in the Swiss Guard armory, many of which would not be used by the Swiss Guard.
-== Heckler & Koch USP ==
+[[Image:ADarmory.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Seen in the Swiss Guard armory are the [[SIG SG 552 ]], [[AKM]], [[AKMS]], [[M4 Carbine]], and the [[Heckler & Koch G36C]].]]
+[[Image:Angels&Demons-SCAR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The [[FN SCAR]] is also present in the armory.]]
-Several Swiss Guard and possibly the police had [[Heckler & Koch USP]]s as their sidearms.

-No, they are Sig-sauers-[[User:GunnutHk|GunnutHk]]
-:You sure? [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] 06:12, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
-::I think the police used some sort of Beretta, but the image was too quick when I watched the film. Other than that, the Swiss Guards used Sig Sauers. --[[User:Blemo|Blemo]] 17:53, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
-:::I believe the Italian Carabinieri in the movie all use Beretta, which would make sense since it's their standard sidearm.
-== Heckler & Koch MP5 ==
-[[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|Heckler & Koch MP5A3]]s  as well as A2s were seen in the hands of Carabinieri GIS operators and Swiss Guards.  The MP5s used by the GIS have laser and tactical light attachments.
