Taken is a 2008 thriller starring Liam Neeson as Bryan Mills, a former CIA operative who discovers that his daughter has been kidnapped in Paris and must find her before she disappears into the sex trafficking trade. The film was directed by Pierre Morel (From Paris with Love) from a screenplay by Luc Besson and Robert Mark Kamen. Neeson would return as Mills in two sequels: 2012's Taken 2 and 2015's Taken 3.
The following weapons were used in the film Taken (2008):
Handguns
Beretta 92FS
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) takes a custom two tone Beretta 92FS off of a prostitute trafficker and uses it when escaping from the facility at the construction site. Presumably he leaves it when he abandons the SUV.
When Bryan later confronts the slaver he "spoke" with on the phone, he kills several of his men and takes one of their factory black Beretta 92FS pistols, which he uses for a good duration of the film.
Taurus Millennium Pro
When Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) infiltrates a party held by the slavers, one of the men who captures him carries a black Taurus Millennium Pro PT111, which he takes and uses until it runs empty.
Ali (Jalil Naciri) carries a stainless Taurus Millennium Pro PT145 while on the boat, which is taken by Bryan (Liam Neeson), who uses it during the climax.
SIG-Sauer P226
Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) takes a factory two-tone SIG-Sauer P226 off of a guard on the boat and uses it until it runs dry.
SIG-Sauer GSR
One of the Arab guards on the boat carries a stainless SIG-Sauer GSR, which is taken by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) until it runs dry.
SIG-Sauer P239
Jean-Claude (Olivier Rabourdin) retrieves an older model SIG-Sauer P239 from under the sink in his bathroom when Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) comes to his house and holds it on him at the dinner table. When Bryan reveals that he has already found and unloaded the gun, Jean Claude tries to shoot him, and has the ammunition thrown in his face, while being chastised for not recognizing the weight difference between a loaded and unloaded gun after being behind a desk so long.
M1911A1
Anton (Radivoje Bukvic), one of the Albanian slavers in Paris uses a nickel plated M1911A1 to fire at Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) after he steals a girl from the facility.
Glock 17
The bodyguard of Patrice St-Clair who fails to kill Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) "quietly" is seen using a Glock 17. It is likely a rubber prop, since it is never fired and quickly thrown away.
Smith & Wesson 5906
When Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) confronts the Albanian slavers in the apartment building, one of them tries to draw a Smith & Wesson 5906 from the small of his back, but is soon killed by Bryan.
SIG-Sauer P228
Several slavers in the film are seen using SIG-Sauer P228 pistols.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5K
The Arab guards on the boat are armed mainly with Heckler & Koch MP5Ks with the foregrips removed. Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) disarms a guard of one and briefly uses it until it runs empty.
IMI Micro Uzi
One of the Arab guards on the boat is seen using an IMI Micro Uzi with a folding stock and a suppressor before being shot through a door window by Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson).
Shotguns
Mossberg 590
One of Jean-Claude's (Olivier Rabourdin) men is seen using a Mossberg 590 when trying to arrest Bryan Mills (Liam Neeson) on the rooftops.
Rifles
Custom AKMS
One of the slavers at the facility fires at Bryan Mills' (Liam Neeson) car with a custom shortened AKMS, which has also been seen in films such as Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines and Rambo (2008).
IMI Galil SAR
One of the slavers at the facility fires at Bryan Mills' (Liam Neeson) car with an IMI Galil SAR rifle.
