Glock

I don't know if you still have the original disk, but you can almost make out the model number on the slide. I can only make the out "2." --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:00, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

Max reloading the Glock 26 during the opening shootout. The two finger grooves, sign of a subcompact Glock, are clearly seen.

The second digit has a diagonal line from bottom left to top right so I suspect it is a Glock 27. --commando552 (talk) 17:07, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

Thanks for the comments, I was thinking the gun is either a G26 or a G27 so I opted for the G26 assuming that most handguns in this movie were 9mm this one would be as well. On second thought, it does seem to be a G27, PeeWee055 (talk) 13:43, 17 April 2013 (EDT)

Maybe a Beretta Px4 Storm? --Funkychinaman (talk) 12:00, 16 April 2013 (EDT)

SIG P6 ID

I don't think these guns are necessarily P6s, the flat takedown lever is not indicative of the P6 but is rather just an earlier design. In fact most P225s that I have seen have the older flat takedown lever (such as the stock image of the nickel one), so I imaging that the stock image that has the newer design might have had it replaced. The only time you can say that a gun is a P6 is if you can see the skeleton hammer. Also, at least some of the guns (such as this are not real guns at all, but rather Umarex "Hämmerli P26" blank fire replicas, as indicated by the round logo in the middle of the grip:

Umarex "Hämmerli P26" - 9mm P.A.K. blanks

These are also the guns used in the "Indoor Shooting Training", and all the cases on the floor appear to be P.A.K. blanks. --commando552 (talk) 15:34, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

It's also worth noting that the facility where the indoor shooting takes place has no backstop. --Funkychinaman (talk) 15:50, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

To make matters 'worse', in other shots you can see people walking behind (!) the targets and in yet another shot there's actually a table with soft drinks behind one target: OMG!PeeWee055 (talk) 16:00, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

Thanks for your comment, I did indeed go by the takedown lever to id the gun as a P6. Will check again and if necessary replace by P26. Cheers, PeeWee055 (talk) 15:46, 18 April 2013 (EDT)

Pfft! You guys just aren't real operators, otherwise you'd know that they always wander around and break at the business end of shooting ranges. Bullets flying near their heads is like a lullaby for them. Spartan198 (talk) 00:27, 14 July 2013 (EDT)

Pistol handling

I like that everyone in this movie seems to be well trained in weapons handling and safety, I just find it a little funny that every character grips there pistol the exact same way, even uncredited thugs. There is nothing wrong with any of there grips, I just found it kind of interesting.--One shot is all it takes. (talk) 22:15, 20 August 2013 (EDT)

Hah, that's very well noticed! I have watched the movie a few times now and I can't imagine I failed to notice. I guess the reason is that this grip appears to be the standard one for law enforcement officers, at least here in Holland and I guess in Germany as well. This is Til Schweiger's first action flick as director and maybe he wanted to do stuff 'too correctly', whereas a few irregularities (as in real life...) would give the movie a few nice rough edges.
