(Major edit, added several missing weapons, some extra screenshots, and fixed some terminology. Merrick's goons aren't "government agents", they're a private goon squad.)

The Old Guard is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.
Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular Highlander franchise with the modern John Wick sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.

Trigger discipline is consistently poor the entire movie, a consequence of the character's ages. Andy is over twice as old as black powder, while Joe and Nicky fought the Second Crusade and Booker fought for Napoleon. Not only do they predate any concept of firearms safety, gunshots are a mild annoyance to an immortal.
Heckler & Koch USP
Joe (Marwan Kenzari) carries a Heckler & Koch USP Compact with stainless slide as his sidearm. The pistol switches hand several times, and Nile later uses the weapon during the final battle
United States Marines, including Nile (Kiki Lane) and her team, carry M4A1 carbines. Most are fitted with vertical foregrips, ACOG scopes, and PEQ-15 lasers
