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):
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.
Several hitmen carry the Brügger & Thomet MP9, in one case equipped with a B&T MP9 QD suppressor. True to it’s covert carry nature, it is seen pulled from underneath a coat in one scene.
Max uses a Mossberg 500 durign the farmhouse gunfight The shotgun has a synthetic stock and is equipped with rifle sights.

This is the most commonly produced version of the 500 series today.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMax walks through the farmhouse holding the Mossberg 500, the rifle sights clearly visible.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWhen things get more desperate, Max puts on a bulletproof vest and keeps on firing with the Mossberg 500. Note the flash which is probably CGI generated as it’s coming from somewhere underneath the barrel.
Assault Rifles
Luvo LA-16
Max uses a Luvo 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 front sight has somehow been put on backwards and an EOTech sight has been fitted
During the attack on the farmhouse, several assailants use modernized AK-47s equipped with M4-style collapsible stocks, AKM-style flash hiders and what appears to be a synthetic Command Arms quad rail handguard.
In several scenes, AKM’s are seen used. Here again, they are modernized versions with M4 collapsible stock and what appears to be a synthetic Command Arms quad rail handguard.
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.
The extra’s section of the DVD shows two short gun-related movies. The first one is about the gun training that Til Schweiger took in the USA in preparation for this movie. Under the supervision of a professional shooting instructor he fired thousands of rounds, predominantly with assault rifles.
The second short movie concerns a report of an indoor gun training for the crew, all using SIG-Sauer P6’s. Due to the somewhat relaxed atmosphere, they appear to be using either blank cartridges or some kind of airsoft cartridges.
