The official handguns for the Guardia Civil were Astra until the late 70s when they switched to Llama (mostly M-82s) and foreign manufacturers like Beretta and HK (P7 & P8). I do not know the exact gun they used at that time (2007), but for an ordinary patrol guard (distinguishable by his uniform) I think a standard Beretta - even if a little outdated - is realistic. Could be a Brigadier though, but the slides do not seem large enough. As for the Beretta 96, I highly doubt it, since the .40 S&W is still considered an exotic caliber here in Europe. Only a few special units within the police and the military use it. The staffing caliber is the 9mm. Given the budget of the movie, and the kind of scope mounted, it is also possible that the gun is a prop. -- [[User:Sebastian2A|Sebastian2A]] ([[User talk:Sebastian2A|talk]]) 08:42, 31 January 2015 (EST)([[User talk:Sebastian2A|talk]]) | The official handguns for the Guardia Civil were Astra until the late 70s when they switched to Llama (mostly M-82s) and foreign manufacturers like Beretta and HK (P7 & P8).

We should point out cheap or airsoft optics on films, but never make comments that seem to mock the decision. Movie productions are harsh and super expensive optics are usually only used on 'hero closeups' in major motion pictures. Actors are notorious for breaking or roughhandling of props, so most armorers give actors the cheapest scopes they can, anticipating them to be broken or damaged during filming.[[User:MoviePropMaster2008|MoviePropMaster2008]] ([[User talk:MoviePropMaster2008|talk]]) 14:03, 31 January 2015 (EST) | |||

Beretta?
The Beretta's grip appears to be too big? Is it a replica? --Ben41 (talk) 20:52, 30 January 2015 (EST)
- Could be a Beretta 96. Hi, My Name Is GameZone (talk) 23:48, 30 January 2015 (EST)
