Atomic Blonde is a 2017 spy thriller set in 1989 Berlin just prior to the collapse of the Wall and starring Charlize Theron as Lorraine, an MI-6 operative sent to retrieve a list of agents. Based on the graphic novel The Coldest City , the movie was directed by David Leitch , the former stunt performer and co-director of John Wick , and the cast includes James McAvoy , Sofia Boutella , and John Goodman .
The following weapons were used in the film Atomic Blonde :
Handguns
Stechkin APS
A Stechkin APS is used to kill James Gasciogne, setting the plot into motion. Oddly, characters claim that a 7.62 Soviet round was recovered from the body, despite the APS being chambered in the 9x18mm Makarov.

Browning Hi-Power
Lorraine (Charlize Theron ) briefly handles a Browning Hi-Power . Judging from the external extractor and old-style ring hammer it appears to be a highly desirable 1960's "T" Series Browning Hi-Power.

Makarov PM
The Makarov PM , presumably both East German and Russian models, is used heavily by all characters, including Lorraine (Charlize Theron ), KGB agents, and East German Volkspolizei . Several suppressed PMs are seen in the climax.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Lorraine chambers the Makarov. Note the excellent trigger discipline, while the trigger discipline technique existed in the 1980s, it can be considered to have been a rare occurrence back then and its depiction rather reflects the trend of 2010s media to depict the modern strict trigger discipline in rather historically anachronistic contexts.

Submachine Gun
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
