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.

The following weapons were used in the film The Old Guard:

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 pistols, some of which are confiscated and used by the main characters.

We never see this pistol fire, possibly because it has a metal rod welded inside the barrel.
