==Glock 27==
Max ([[Til Schweiger]]) carries a [[Glock 27]]. He does not carry it in a holster, but rather on the inside of his belt with a metal clip fixed on the right side of the slide.  
SEK officer Max ([[Til Schweiger]]) carries a [[Glock 27]] as his main sidearm in the film (although SEK officers can purchase equipment that they feel the best for the mission, the Germans prefer the 9mm as the ammunition of their weapon). Interestingly, Max does not carry the pistol in a holster, but rather on the inside of his belt with a Clipdraw, a metal clip fixed on the right side of the slide.

Guardian Angel (original title: Schutzengel) is a 2012 German action movie about ex-special forces operative Max (Til Schweiger) who now works for the witness-protection program of the Berlin police.



The following weapons were used in the film Guardian Angel (Schutzengel):


Pistols

Glock 27

SEK officer Max (Til Schweiger) carries a Glock 27 as his main sidearm in the film (although SEK officers can purchase equipment that they feel the best for the mission, the Germans prefer the 9mm as the ammunition of their weapon). Interestingly, Max does not carry the pistol in a holster, but rather on the inside of his belt with a Clipdraw, a metal clip fixed on the right side of the slide.

Heckler & Koch P30

Max owns a Heckler & Koch P30 and used in various occasions. Unlike the Glock 27 that he keeps on his belt, the Heckler & Koch P30 is kept in a backpack with some magazines. Nina (Luna Schweiger) is also seen with the pistol.

SIG-Sauer P225

Regular police officers, most notably Max's colleagues Helena (Hannah Herzsprung), Kurt (Kostja Ullmann) and Henri (Herbert Knaup), are armed with what seem to be regular SIG-Sauer P225's. They cannot be positively identified as police version SIG-Sauer P6's because there's no clear view of its typical skeleton hammer.

When things get more desperate, Max puts on a bulletproof vest and keeps on firing with the Mossberg 500AT. Note the flash which is probably CGI generated as it’s coming from somewhere underneath the barrel.

Assault Rifles

Luvo Arms LA-16

Max uses a Luvo Arms LA-16 with a 10.5" barrel from his friend Rudi’s weapons cache. The weapon can be identified by the typical ring enclosing the back of the hand guard. The rail-mounted front sight has been put on backwards and an EOTech sight has been fitted.

Machine Guns

FM MAG 58

As mercenaries descend upon the farmhouse where Max and Nina are hiding, one of them carries a FN MAG 58. The version he is carrying has a large perforated heatshield, possibly to make the gun look like the M240 variant.

Miscellaneous
