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. 
__TOC__
=Pistols=
==Glock 27==
SEK officer Max (Til Schweiger) carries a Glock 27 as his main sidearm in the film (although SEK officers can purchase equipment that they feel the best for the mission, the Germans prefer the 9mm as the ammunition of their weapon). Interestingly, Max does not carry the pistol in a holster, but rather on the inside of his belt with a Clipdraw, a metal clip fixed on the right side of the slide. 
==Heckler & Koch P30==
Max owns a Heckler & Koch P30 and used in various occasions. Unlike the Glock 27 that he keeps on his belt, the Heckler & Koch P30 is kept in a backpack with some magazines. Nina (Luna Schweiger) is also seen with the pistol. 
==SIG-Sauer P225==
Regular police officers, most notably Max's colleagues Helena (Hannah Herzsprung), Kurt (Kostja Ullmann) and Henri (Herbert Knaup), are armed with what seem to be regular SIG-Sauer P225's. They cannot be positively identified as police version SIG-Sauer P6's because there's no clear view of its typical skeleton hammer. 
==Umarex Hämmerli P26==
During the standoff at the diner, the female police officer (Katharina Schüttler) carries an Umarex Hämmerli P26 which can be visually identified from the above mentioned SIG-Sauer P225 by the round logo in the middle of the grip.
==Vektor SP1==
Several hitmen in the opening shootout are armed with the Vektor SP1. 
==Caracal F==
In what seems to be the first movie appearance of this pistol, the Caracal F is used by Max’s ex-special forces buddy Rudi (Moritz Bleibtreu).
==Walther P99QA==
The hitmen's leader (Aleksandar Jovanovic) draws a Walther P99QA when he interrogates Rudi.
==Heckler & Koch USP==
Corrupt arms dealer Thomas Backer (Heiner Lauterbach) pulls a Heckler & Koch USP in his hotel room.
==Glock 17==
During the opening shootout, one of the hitmen carries a 2nd Generation Glock 17.
==Airsoft Glock 17==
Rudi trains Nina to shoot with an airsoft Glock 17. 
==Beretta Px4 Storm==
A hitman (Mickey Hardt) uses a Beretta Px4 Storm during the farmhouse shootout. 
==Smith & Wesson Model 642==
Nicholas (Tim Wilde), the arms dealer's security chief, carries a Smith & Wesson Model 642 in an ankle holster.
=Submachine Guns=
==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Several hitmen carry the Brügger & Thomet MP9, in one case equipped with a B&T MP9 QD suppressor. True to its covert carry nature, it is seen pulled from underneath a coat in one scene. 
==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
A SEK officer raiding Max’s house carries a Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with an M4-style stock and a Surefire 628 forend weaponlight.
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
Another SEK officer carries a Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with the integrated Surefire 628 forend weaponlight.
==Heckler & Koch MP5KA1==
Several hitmen searching for Max and Nina at the hospital carry Heckler & Koch MP5KA1’s, the covert carry variant with low profile sights.
=Shotguns=
==Mossberg 500AT==
During the farmhouse gunfight, Max uses a Mossberg 500AT with synthetic stock and handguard, and with rifle sights. 
=Assault Rifles=
==Luvo Arms LA-16==
Max uses a Luvo Arms 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 rail-mounted front sight has been put on backwards and an EOTech sight has been fitted.
==AK-47==
During the attack on the farmhouse, several assailants use modernized AK-47's 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 farmhouse hitmen carries 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 fitted with a modern synthetic hand guard. 
==Norinco Type 56-1==
One of the hitmen uses a Norinco Type 56-1, a rare sight in European films.
=Machine Guns=
==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.
=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 Umarex Hämmerli P26 blank shooting replica's of the SIG-Sauer P225.
