Taken 2 is a 2012 sequel to 2008's Taken. Liam Neeson returns as former CIA operative Bryan Mills, who is captured along with his ex-wife by the father of one of the kidnappers killed by Bryan in the first film. The film was directed by Olivier Megaton (Colombiana) from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. The film would be followed by 2015's Taken 3.
The following weapons were used in the film Taken 2:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) once again carries a Beretta 92FS as his main sidearm for the majority of the film. Many of Murad's goons also are seen with 92FS pistols. Bryan is also seen using a Beretta in a quick flashback to the first film.
Glock 17
When his Beretta runs dry, Bryan Mills prominently uses a third generation Glock 17 when he goes to rescue his ex-wife Lenore. Aside from the Beretta, the Glock is one of two other handguns in his suitcase, which he used for his security job in Istanbul. This film gives us a glimpse at what kind of weapons Bryan trusts and uses personally, which is a stark contrast to the first film, where Bryan only really carried a Beretta or whatever he captured from combatants. The Glock 17 was also seen in the first film, but was never fired and was likely just a rubber prop. Note that this is a real firing gun, albeit adapted to fire blanks.
Steyr M9A1
In addition to the Beretta and the Glock, Bryan keeps a Steyr M9A1 pistol in his weapons suitcase. He prominently uses it after his Glock runs dry near the end of the film to go after Murad Hoxha (Rade Serbedzija). Murad is also seen holding Bryan's M9A1 for a brief time. Bryan's Steyr appears to be a second generation model, judging by the pattern on the grips. Bryan would later use this same pistol in Taken 3.
Beretta 92FS Inox
One of the thugs is seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox in the intro scene. This Beretta is likely American-made, because it has blued controls.
Beretta 90Two
Kim Mills (Maggie Grace) picks up a Beretta 90Two pistol from Bryan's suitcase. Later Bryan (Liam Neeson) is seen using it during his escape.
Beretta Px4 Storm
Suko (Alain Figlarz) has a Beretta Px4 Storm pistol.
CZ 85B
A bad guy tries to pick up a stainless CZ 85B when Bryan (Liam Neeson) enters the room. Note the safety on the right side.
Heckler & Koch USP
One of the bad guys holds a Heckler & Koch USP when they kidnap Bryan and his ex-wife.
Heckler & Koch USP Compact
A bad guy is seen with a Heckler & Koch USP Compact near the end of the film.
Para-Ordnance LDA
The bad guy guarding Bryan and Lenore is seen with a Para-Ordnance LDA pistol. A similar LDA was used in Transporter 3 (another Luc Besson film).
SIG-Sauer P226
A policeman working for Murad Hoxha (Rade Serbedzija) tries to shoot Bryan with what looks like a SIG-Sauer P226.
SIG-Sauer SP 2022
Jean-Claude Pitrel (Olivier Rabourdin) is seen with a SIG-Sauer SP 2022 pistol. This is quite accurate, as Jean-Claude works for French federal law enforcement. In real life, French law enforcement and internal security agencies (including the National Gendarmerie, National Police and French Customs), purchased over 250,000 SP2022s, which was the largest single order for service handguns since World War II.
Taurus PT92AF
A bad guy sent to capture Kim is seen with a Taurus PT92AF pistol. Bryan's (Liam Neeson) Beretta 92FS also changes into a PT92AF in one scene.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
A bad guy guarding the main gate holds a Heckler & Koch MP5A5 when Bryan enters to rescue his ex-wife.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Two of Murad's henchmen carry Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine guns near the end of the film.
In the trailer, a Heckler & Koch MP5K with the handguard removed was seen as part of a flashback to the first film. This scene cannot be seen in the film, however.
Mini Uzi
A bad guy takes a Mini Uzi when he sees Bryan enters to rescue his ex-wife.
Skorpion vz. 61
A bad guy tries to kill Bryan with a Skorpion vz. 61 submachine gun.
Rifles/Carbines
AIMR Carbine
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) uses a 5.56mm AIMR (PA Md. 97) carbine near the end of the film.
Arsenal AR-SF
One of the bad guys uses an Arsenal AR-SF rifle.
Micro Galil
One of the bad guys uses a Micro Galil during the final shootout.
Colt M4A1 Carbine
US Marines guarding the American Embassy hold M4A1 Carbines with Aimpoint and/or ACOG sights.
Colt Model 727
At least one Marine is seen holding a Colt Model 727 at the American Embassy.
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB machine gun is seen at the American Embassy.
Others
Frag Grenade
Kim Mills (Maggie Grace) uses a couple of frag grenades of unknown make. The grenades appear to be film props.
