'''The Old Guard''' is a 2020 [[Netflix]] adaptation of the graphic novel by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. [[Charlize Theron]] stars as Andy, 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.

Nicky and Joe both died during the Crusades; Nicky as a Crusader, and Joe as a Saracen. In a nod to this history, Joe carries a cruciform-hilted, double-edged, single-handed sword that looks similar to those used by Christian knights during the High Middle Ages throughout Europe. Joe wields a fantasy version of a scimitar, a curved backsword that was popular with Middle-Eastern warriors during the Middle Ages. It's worth noting that "Scimitar" is an anglicized version of the Italian word "scimitarra," and refers generically to curved swords. Different cultures throughout Asia and the ancient Middle and Near East used different forms of these swords, for which they had their own names. The sword that Joe uses (more clearly visible in the film poster) looks more like the type that is used primarily for modern belly-dancing performances than an actual medieval relic.

The Old Guard is a 2020 Netflix adaptation of the graphic novel by Greg Rucka (author) and Leandro Fernandez (artist). Rucka wrote the screenplay for the film, which was directed by Gina Prince-Bythewood. Charlize Theron stars as Andy, 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.

After disarming an MP, Andy points her Beretta at Nile.

Glock 17

Most of Merrick's men use Glock 17 pistols, some of which are confiscated and used by the main characters.

Heckler & Koch HK45

Booker briefly uses an Heckler & Koch HK45.

Heckler & Koch HK45 - .45 ACP
Booker covers an angle during the raid on Copely. Trigger discipline is consistently poor the entire movie, a consequence of the character's ages. Andy is over twice as old as black powder, while Joe and Nicky fought the Second Crusade and Booker fought for Napoleon. Not only do they predate any concept of firearms safety, gunshots are a mild annoyance to an immortal.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

Joe (Marwan Kenzari) carries a Heckler & Koch USP Compact with stainless slide as his sidearm. The pistol switches hands several times, and Nile later uses the weapon during the final battle

Andy then hands the pistol off to Nile as she decides to leave.
Nile, about to discard the USP Compact, realizes the magazine is empty.
She then uses the now-loaded USP Compact to interrogate Copley.
Nile fires the pistol during the final battle besides an ironically placed sign.

Makarov PM

Russian pilot Andrei (Andrei Zayats) brings a Makarov PM (actually probably a Norinco Type 59 stand-in) onto an airplane, where it is taken by Nile (KiKi Layne).

Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov
The Russian pilot leaves his Makarov PM carelessly unsecured in a shoulder holster.

SIG-Sauer P226

Andy holds a prop SIG-Sauer P226 with a very obviously plugged barrel.

Standard SIG-Sauer P226 without rail.
We never see this pistol fire, possibly because it has a metal rod welded inside the barrel.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP7

The Heckler & Koch MP7 is another weapon used by Merrick's security teams, and are frequently taken by the main characters for their own use.

Assault Rifles

IMI Tavor TAR-21

Booker uses an IMI Tavor TAR-21 during the raid in Sudan. He is also shown holding it on the movie poster.

M4A1

United States Marines, including Nile (Kiki Lane) and her team, carry M4A1 carbines. Most are fitted with vertical foregrips, ACOG scopes, and PEQ-15 lasers

A pair of Marines carry slug M4A1s inside the FOB. The rifle on the left just has the carry handle in place of optics, while the one on the right has some model of Aimpoint red dot.

Heckler & Koch G36

The Heckler & Koch G36 is another weapon used by Merrick's goons, and is thus frequently "borrowed" from former users by the team.

Heckler & Koch G36C - 5.56x45mm
Merrick's goons open fire on the team with their HK G36C assault rifles.

Heckler & Koch HK416

Heckler & Koch HK416s are heavily used by Merrick's security forces and are frequently appropriated by Andy's team during the final battle
