New Kids Nitro is a 2011 Dutch absurd comedy about the life of a group of five anti-social and dysfunctional young men in the Dutch village of Maaskantje, in the rural south of Holland. Just like in the prequel New Kids Turbo they have nothing much to do with their lives but to drink beer and hang around in the village center.
One day, just as their clash with a gang from the rivalling village of Schijndel seems to be getting out of hand, they are contacted by Dutch secret service. Zombies have emerged in the northern part of Holland and an attempt by special forces to stop them has failed. The New Kids, who are deemed totally expendable, are supplied with a trunk full of guns and send against the zombies.
The following guns were used in the film New Kids Nitro:
Robbie is carrying a rather unusual revolver to fight zombies. This particular gun has been identified by a source close to the original owner as an AT Customworks PPC Smith & Wesson Model 586 customized by Alan Tanaka Custom Gunworks of Gardena, California. Even though the chrome finish makes it look like a Smith & Wesson Model 686, it’s actually a Smith & Wesson Model 586 of which the original dark finish has been covered with a chrome finish. The heavy barrel has been especially designed to fire .38 wadcutter rounds.
Maaskantje police officers are correctly portrayed with the Walther P5 which is the current standard side arm of Dutch police. Unfortunately, in most instances the Walther P5 is handled with a total lack of trigger discipline resulting in several ‘freak’ shootings of innocent bystanders.

Beretta 93R
One of the Schijndel gang members is using a Beretta 93R to fight off the hordes of zombies at the gas station battle. The gun is seen firing short bursts but surprisingly the front-handle is not used.
At the end of the movie, Rikkert switches to a silenced Taurus PT99AF as his personal side-arm. Even though it is seen very briefly, the receiver-based safety and the white markings give it away as a Taurus PT99AF.
One of the rappers from Woensel, who unexpectedly join the battle at the gas station, is carrying an Arsenal AR-SF as identified by the design of its distinctive muzzle brake.
In several scenes, Gerrie is seen carrying a M16A2 Rifle. He never uses the rifle, which has a distinctive addition to the carrying handle which seems to be designed to fit a scope.
Dutch special forces send to deal with the zombie threat are armed with the Heckler & Koch MP5KA1 submachine gun. It’s seen only briefly, but a detailed shot of the fire selector and the receiver can be seen in the overview section.
In several scenes, Richard is dual-wielding a pair of Intratec TEC-DC9’s. These guns also feature prominently on the movie poster and together with his eye patch, they give him a really evil look.
The ‘New Kids’ drive into battle with the zombies in an Opel Manta sports car that has been refurbished ‘A-Team’ style with a pair of mocked-up MG34's that can be operated from a seat in the trunk of the car.
Rikkert finds himself fighting the zombies with a M249-E1 SAW machine gun. Muzzle flashes are apparently CGI generated as no shell casings or chain links are ever seen ejected.
The female Schijndel gang member is using a SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper in the gas station battle against the zombies. She is not handling the shotgun in a very convincing way though.
Dutch special forces fail to deal with the zombie threat. It is then decided to supply the New Kids, who are deemed totally expendable by Dutch authorities, with a trunk full of weapons of which most see extensive use in the movie.
