The Old Guard is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel by by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. It stars Charlize Theron as the leader of an unnamed band of immortal warriors.
Conceptually, the film combines elements of the popular Highlander franchise with the modern John Wick sensibility, presenting an entertaining take on the fantasy of humans that don't age and can't be killed. In a nod to the characters' extreme age (the main characters are all at least several hundred years old) several of them use quasi-historical weapons as well as contemporary firearms.
Pistols
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS pistol (standing in for the Beretta M9) is carried by Marine Corps MPs.
Glock 17
Most of the government agents use Glock 17 Gen 5 pistols.
Special
Andy uses a CAA MCK (Micro Conversion Kit) with a Glock pistol.
Rifles / Carbines
Norinco Type 56
Sudanese guards are armed with Norinco Type 56 rifles.
Heckler & Koch HK416
Nile and her fellow Marines are armed with what appear to be Heckler & Koch M27 IAR rifles in a cinematic approximation of USMC configuration.
