Guardian Angel (original title: Schutzengel) is a 2012 German action movie about ex-special forces operative Max (Til Schweiger) who now works for the witness-protection program of the Berlin police.
The following weapons were used in the film Guardian Angel (Schutzengel):
Max (Til Schweiger) carries a Glock 26. He does not carry it in a holster, but rather on the inside of his belt with a metal clip fixed on the right side of the slide.
Max uses a Luvo LA-16 with a 10.5" barrel from his friend Rudi’s weapons cache. The weapon can be identified by the typical ring enclosing the back of the hand guard. The front sight has somehow been put on backwards and an EOTech sight has been fitted
AK-47
During the attack on the farmhouse, several assailants use modernized AK-47s equipped with M4-style collapsible stocks, AKM-style flash hiders and what appears to be a synthetic Command Arms quad rail handguard.
AKM
In several scenes, AKM’s are seen used. Here again, they are modernized versions with M4 collapsible stock and what appears to be a synthetic Command Arms quad rail handguard.
Arsenal AR-1F
One of the attackers on the farmhouse is carrying what seems to be an Arsenal AR-1F, identifiable by the long flash hider. It also seems to have a 40-round magazine.
Zastava M70AB2
Another attacker is armed with a Zastava M70AB2 recognizable by the standard grenade launcher sights. The gun also has a modern synthetic hand guard rather than the traditional wooden one.
Norinco Type 56-1
Even though it is seldomly used in a European movie, one of the hitmen appears to be using a Norinco Type 56-1 as identified by the full-circle front sight.
Other Guns
Brügger & Thomet MP9
Several hitmen carry the Brügger & Thomet MP9, in one case equipped with a B&T MP9 QD suppressor. True to it’s covert carry nature, it is seen pulled from underneath a coat in one scene.
Heckler & Koch MP5A2
As a SWAT team raids Max’s house, one member can be seen carrying a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a ‘M4A1’ style collapsible stock and a Surefire 628 forend weaponlight
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Another SWAT team member carries a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with the integrated Surefire 628 forend weaponlight.
Heckler & Koch MP5KA1
In their search chase of Max and Nina at the hospital, several assailants carry Heckler & Koch MP5KA1’s, the covert carry variant with low profile sights.
FM MAG 58
As mercenaries descend upon the farmhouse where Max and Nina are hiding, one of them carries a FN MAG 58. The version he is carrying has a large perforated heatshield, possibly to make the gun look like the M240 variant.
Mossberg 500
At one point during the farmhouse shootout, Max pulls a Mossberg 500 from Rudi’s weapons cache and uses it to fight off attackers at close range. The shotgun has a synthetic stock and is equipped with rifle sights.
Smith & Wesson Model 642
The security chief to arms dealer Thomas Backer, Nicholas (Tim Wilde), covertly carries a Smith & Wesson Model 642 in an ankle holster.
Miscellaneous
Outdoor Gun Training
The extra’s section of the DVD shows two short gun-related movies. The first one is about the gun training that Til Schweiger took in the USA in preparation for this movie. Under the supervision of a professional shooting instructor he fired thousands of rounds, predominantly with assault rifles.
Indoor Shooting Training
The second short movie concerns a report of an indoor gun training for the crew, all using SIG-Sauer P6’s. Due to the somewhat relaxed atmosphere, they appear to be using either blank cartridges or some kind of airsoft cartridges.
