Black Out is a 2012 Dutch crime comedy about ex-criminal Jos who, on the day before his wedding, wakes up with a gun in his hand next to an unidentifiable corpse. If that’s not bad enough, several characters from the local crime scene accuse him of stealing 20 kilos of cocaine.
Jos has exactly 24 hours to solve this mess with the inconvenient circumstance is that he’s suffering from a total black out as to what happened the day before. In a race against time, Jos must manage to settle old scores, retrieve the cocaine and last but not least, be in time for his own wedding.
The following guns were used in the film Black Out:
In the opening scene, Jos (Raymond Thiry) wakes up with a corpse to his right and a Taurus PT99AFS to his left. The distinctive raised target sights are clearly visible. This gun is also used by Jos’ partner Bobby (Bas Keijzer), as well as by Jos’ ex-girlfriend Inez (Renée Fokker) and Russian crime boss Vlad (Simon Armstrong).
A Desert Eagle Mark I is the side-arm of choice for Bobby for most of the movie. Jos also uses it in some scenes as well as Wally (Willie Wartaal) when he and his partner steal Jos’ car and find the gun in the trunk.
The COP 357 Derringer is used by Inez (Renée Fokker) whose nickname is ‘Coca-Inez’ due to her activities in the drugs trade. This easy to conceal but deadly weapon seems to be very appropriate for her character. Later on, it is taken by Charity (Katja Schuurman) who, together with her partner Petra (played by her real life sister Birgit), serve as debt collectors for godfather Charles.
Godfather Charles (Edmond Classen), living under-cover in a retirement home, keeps a stainless steel Bersa Thunder 380 Super with ivory grips at the back of his wheelchair for emergencies.
Vlad’s henchman Saban (Joop Kasteel) carries a Glock 17, when he accompanies Jos to pick up drugs that Jos allegedly owns. It can be identified as a 3rd generation model because of the accessory rail on the frame.
Detective Andre (Alex van Warmerdam) is seen threatening godfather Charles (Edmond Classen) with what seems to be a Beretta 92FS, but more details could prove it to be an airsoft variant.
In a flashback scene, Bobby is seen held at gunpoint with a Walther P1. This is the post-war version of the Walther P38 and can be distinguished by the grooves that extend around the safety lever.
During the robbery on the jewellery store, Wally (Willie Wartaal) carries a Benelli B76 Sport that can be reconized by the pronounced front target sight and slide.
Local drug dealer Gianni (Robert de Hoog) carries a Dan Wesson PPC revolver. The distinctive target sights have been removed but the gun can still be identified by the massive rectangular barrel.
Several characters use the Dan Wesson 14 with 2.5" barrel. It can be identified by the cylinder latch that is located ahead of the cylinder and the fixed sights.
Gianni’s bodyguard Abel (Sem Schilt) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 686 for those situations where his impressive physique is not enough to make his point.
Jos and his partner Bobby use an over-and-under shotgun in their raid on Gianni’s drug stash. The brand cannot be positively identified and both barrel as well as stock are sawn-off.
During the intro credits, an airsoft KWC M1911A1 can be seen. It can be conclusively identified by the engraving with the manufacturer name on the slide just above the forward section of the trigger guard. This particular KWC model seems to be based on the Springfield Armory National Match 1911.
