Taken 3 (also known as Tak3n) is the third and final installment in the Taken film trilogy. Liam Neeson returns as former CIA operative Bryan Mills, who discovers he's been framed for murder and must evade both the authorities as well as the mobsters intent on killing him. Luc Besson returns as co-writer/executive producer and Olivier Megaton, the director of Taken 2, returns to helm this 2015 sequel. The Taken series would be revisited in a NBC television series prequel that premiered in 2017.

The following weapons were used in the film Taken 3:

Handguns

SIG-Sauer P226

Although the Beretta 92FS is the main pistol in the series, Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) also wields a West German SIG-Sauer P226 throughout the film, which is one of two guns that he keeps hidden in his basement. Russian thugs are also seen using assorted P226 handguns, both older West German-made and newer American-made P226R models.

Note: Although Bryan uses the Glock 17 and the Beretta for most of the film, he also uses the P226 for some time. This is strange, since only one P226 has been seen in the whole series, and that was very briefly in the first film and the second film. This is probably because the film took place in America, unlike the last two, which had different armorers.

 =Handguns=
-==Beretta 92FS==
+==SIG-Sauer P226==
-Bryan Mills ([[Liam Neeson]]) is seen with a [[Beretta 92FS]] in the film. This has been his signature weapon throughout the series. He is seen with a 92FS a few times in the film, prominently during the climax.
+Although the [[Beretta 92FS]] is the main pistol in the series, Bryan Mills ([[Liam Neeson]]) also wields a West German [[SIG-Sauer P226]] throughout the film, which is one of two guns that he keeps hidden in his basement. Russian thugs are also seen using assorted P226 handguns, both older West German-made and newer American-made P226R models.

This is probably because the film took place in America, unlike the last two, which had different armorers''.

+[[File:Taken3_13.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close-up of the P226.]]
+[[File:Taken3 121.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Oleg uses the P226 to threaten Stuart St. John ([[Dougray Scott]]) in a flashback.]]
+==Glock 17==
+The [[Glock 17]] appears to be the handgun carried by LAPD officers and detectives, including Det. Garcia ([[Don Harvey]]) and Det. Smith ([[Dylan Bruno]]). Bryan also uses Glock pistols that he takes from policemen for almost the whole film. A Russian thug is also seen with one.

+[[File:Taken3_09.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Both Detective Garcia ([[Don Harvey]]) and Detective Smith ([[Dylan Bruno]]) point their Glocks at Bryan.]]
+==Glock 21==
+Stuart St. John ([[Dougray Scott]]) uses a Glock to threaten Kim Mills ([[Maggie Grace]]). Judging by the large size of its bore, it is clearly a .45-caliber [[Glock 21]], not a 9mm Glock 17 like the other Glocks seen in the film. It also appears to be a third generation model.
+[[File:Glock21.jpg|thumb|none|300px|3nd Generation Glock 21 - .45 ACP]]

+[[File:Taken3G21.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Better shot of Stuart's Glock. Note the accessory rail, proving this to be a third generation model. Also note how large the bore is, which shows this is a Glock 21.]]
+==Steyr M9A1==
+When he goes to his hidden basement, aside from the Glock, Bryan retrieves parts of what appears to be a [[Steyr M9A1]] and assembles it for use. It is likely supposed to be the same Steyr that Bryan used in ''[[Taken 2]]''.

+[[File:Taken3 102.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The pistol is loaded. Note the flat bottom baseplate, which proves this to be a 15 round magazine.]]
-==SIG-Sauer P226==
+==Springfield Armory TRP Operator==
-Although the Beretta 92FS is the main pistol seen in the series, Bryan Mills wields a West German [[SIG-Sauer P226]] throughout the film. It is one of two guns that he keeps hidden in his rabbit hole. Several other West German P226s are seen in the film in use by Russian thugs. There are also a couple American P226s seen with accessory rails and milled slides that are also used by the Russians. Although Bryan uses the Glock 17 for most of the film, he also uses the SIG for some time. This is strange, since only one P226 has been seen in the whole series, and that was very briefly in the first movie. This is probably because the film took place in America, unlike the last two, which had different armorers. A P226 is even seen on several of the film's posters.
+During the apartment shootout, Bryan Mills takes a [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series#Springfield Armory Tactical Response Pistol (TRP)|Springfield Armory TRP Operator]] from a Russian thug and uses it throughout the rest of the climax.
-[[Image:SigP226.jpg|thumb|none|300px|A factory black (K-Kote) SIG-Sauer P226 pistol chambered in 9x19mm. This is a real movie gun and has appeared in several motion pictures.]]
-[[Image:P226R.jpg|thumb|none|300px|An American SIG-Sauer P226R pistol chambered in 9x19mm. This is the updated P226 with an accessory rail. Now, these are the only type of P226 still made.]]
-==Beretta 90Two==
+''Note: The pistol is fitted with an accessory rail, full length barrel and stainless muzzle, raised target sights, front slide serrations, ambidextrous safety, target three-hole ring trigger and skeletonized hammer. Based on film production, year of filming and weaponry, this is probably the same pistol used by [[Scarlett Johansson]] in [[Luc Besson]]'s 2014 film [[Lucy (2014)|Lucy]]''.
-The [[Beretta_92_pistol_series#Beretta_90Two|Beretta 90Two]] is seen used as the main weapon by most of the Russian thugs.

-[[Image:Taken3 310.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
+[[File:Taken3 125.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Bryan with the pistol during the final confrontation.]]
 ==Beretta 92A1==
-Like the 90Two, the [[Beretta 92A1]] is the other main weapon of the Russian thugs.
+The [[Beretta 92A1]] is one of the main pistols used by Russian thugs. Bryan Mills ([[Liam Neeson]]) takes one from a security guard and uses it during the apartment shootout.

+[[Image:Taken3 315.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bryan holds the Beretta while taking cover.]]
-==Glock 17==
+==Beretta 90Two==
-LAPD officers appear to be armed with the [[Glock 17]].  Bryan Mills ([[Liam Neeson]]) is seen loading a [[Glock 17]] as well. Multiple people in this film are seen with Glocks, most of them second generation models. Bryan uses Glock 17s that he takes from cops for almost the whole film.
+As one of the main pistols used by Russian thugs, a [[Beretta 90Two]] loaded with an extended magazine is seen given to Oleg Malankov ([[Sam Spruell]]) at the beginning of the film.

-[[Image:Taken3 300.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
+[[File:Taken3 02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Oleg holds the pistol.]]
-==Springfield Armory 1911A1 TRP Operator==
+==CZ 75==
-Near the film's end in the climax, Bryan Mills takes a .45-caliber [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series#Springfield Armory Tactical Response Pistol (TRP)|TRP Operator Springfield Armory 1911]] with an accessory rail, full length barrel and stainless muzzle, raised target sights, front slide serrations, ambidextrous safety, target three-hole ring trigger and skeletonized hammer from a Russian thug and uses it throughout the rest of the film.
+What appears to be a [[CZ 75 "Pre-B"|CZ 75]] "pre-B" pistol is held by a Russian gangster in a flashback.
+[[File:Cz75mint4.jpg|thumb|300px|none|"Pre-B" CZ 75 - 9x19mm]]

+[[File:Taken3 106.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The pistol used to threaten a gangster. Note the rounded trigger guard, suggesting this is likely a "pre-B" model.]]
-'''Note:''' This may be a Para-Ordnance 1911, as Para-Ordnance supplied some weapons for the film.
+==Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac==
+A blued [[Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac]] is held by Bernie Harris ([[David Warshofsky]]) during a confrontation with Detective Garcia ([[Don Harvey]]).
+[[Image:Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac.JPG|thumb|none|300px|Stainless steel Para-Ordnance Nite-Tac - .45 ACP]]

+==Brügger & Thomet APC9==
+The [[Brügger & Thomet APC9]] is used by one of Oleg Malankov's henchmen.

+[[File:Taken3 320.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Oleg Malankov's security guard using the "spray and pray" technique.]]
-==Browning Hi-Power Mark III==
+==CZ vz. 61 E Skorpion==
-A [[Browning Hi-Power Mark III]] is seen used by several people in the film, including Bernie ([[David Warshofsky]]).
+Oleg appears to be armed with the [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion|CZ vz. 61 E Skorpion]] during a flashback.

+[[File:Taken3 117.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Close-up of the Skorpion.]]
-==Steyr M9A1==
+==KRISS Vector==
-Brian retrieves a [[Steyr M9A1]] from his rabbit hole and uses it throughout the film. It is likely that this is the very same Steyr that Brian used in the second film.
+One of Oleg's henchmen uses a [[KRISS Vector]] during the apartment shootout. While the film depicts it firing fully automatic, the below screenshot shows that it lacks the forward firing rate selector, meaning that this is a civilian semi-auto Vector SBR, but could have been converted to fire full-auto by the film's armorers.
