Theatrical poster for Nokas (2010).

Nokas is a 2010 film directed by Erik Skjoldbjærg (Insomnia) about the events surrounding the biggest bank robbery in Norwegian history, the theft of 57.4 million Kroner ($9.3 million USD) from a Norwegian Cash Service (NOKAS) counting center in the city of Stavanger on April 5, 2004. The film attempts to be an accurate recreation of the robbery, and uses many of the same locations in Stavanger where the actual events occurred.

The following weapons were used in the film Nokas:

Pistols

Glock 17

Glock 17 pistols are seen in the holsters of several of the robbers. A Glock is also used by a robber to shoot at officer Håland through the windshield of his getaway vehicle.

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 10

Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers are used by officers of the Norwegian Police Service (Politi), most notably by Erik Håland (Morten Håland) when he fires at the robbers as they attempt to flee the scene. The Model 10 has since been replaced by the Heckler & Koch P30.

Trivia note: Of the approximately 79 shots fired by Politi officers between 1994 and 2004, 48 were fired during the NOKAS robbery.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 Revolver - .38 Special

Officers receive their S&W Model 10 revolvers, which are kept in a locked box until they are authorized for use.

Håland's partner loads his Model 10 with a speedloader as they respond to a call about the robbery.

Smith & Wesson Model 10 HB (heavy barrel) revolver (Post 1950s Model) - .38 Special. Later incarnations of the Model 10 had a non-tapered heavy barrel, which leads it to be commonly mistaken for a .357 revolver.

Håland points his Model 10 HB in the direction of the robbers as he spots their getaway vehicles.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Politi officers use Heckler & Koch MP5A3 submachine guns when they arrive at the scene of the robbery. Axel (Francis Gamble), one of the getaway drivers, is also armed with a MP5A3 when he stands guard in the city square near NOKAS.

Assault Rifles

AKS-47

David Toska (Tov Sletta), the ringleader of the robbery gang, uses an AKS-47 to try to shoot through the bulletproof windows of the NOKAS building.

Toska prepares to fire his AKS-47 at the bulletproof windows after sledgehammers and battering rams fail to break them.

Toska reloads, giving us a view of the non-hooded sights of the rifle.

Another view shows that the rifle has magazines taped "jungle-style" and an AKM-style slanted muzzlebrake.

Toska fires the AKS-47. Notice how the other robbers are covering their ears and ducking due to the noise that is being made.

Husqvarna Vapenfabrik Ak 4

One of the robbers, Kjell Alrich Schumann (Frode Winther Gunnes), uses the swedish version of the G3, an Ak 4 rifle to cover the other robbers, firing it at the vehicle of Lieutenant Arne Sigve Klungland (Morten Larsen) as he approaches the scene. The Ak 4 is distinguished by the black slimline forend and butt combo, whereas the norwegian AG3 has a green forend/butt.
