Headhunters (original Norwegian title Hodejegerne) is a critically-acclaimed 2011 Norwegian thriller directed by Morten Tyldum starring Aksel Hennie, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Synnøve Macody Lund, based on the 2008 Jo Nesbø novel of the same name. There are currently plans for an American remake.

The following weapons were used in the film Headhunters:

Beretta 92 Steel I

Ove Kjikerud (Eivind Sander) owns a Beretta 92 Steel I, which he keeps in his refrigerator. The gun is shown seamlessly transitioning from firing blanks to firing live rounds. Roger Brown (Aksel Hennie), Clas Greve (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) and Diana Brown (Synnøve Macody Lund) also get their hands on the pistol during the course of the film.

M4A1

While Googling Clas Greve, Roger comes across a few pictures of Clas from his army days, including one where he's holding an M4A1 carbine with an underbarrel M203 Grenade Launcher.

The image is most likely a photoshop, as Clas, who is supposed to be Dutch, wears US Army ACUs and rank insignia. The guys around him also sport American 82nd Airborne patches on their arms.

M203 Grenade Launcher

If they need an image of Nikolaj Coster-Waldau in an American uniform, they don't need photoshop.

Mini Uzi

Ove also own a fully automatic Mini Uzi, which Roger Brown later uses. The folding shoulder stock has been removed.

Glock 17

Police officers are armed with Glock 17s. Roger Brown takes one from a dead officer.

Brugd (Joachim Rafaelsen) draws his Glock 17 on Roger. His Glock appears to be an airsoft copy, however.

Roger takes a dropped G17, complete with ruined paddle holster.
