A [[Beretta M951]] is used by Avner ([[Eric Bana]]) and Steve ([[Daniel Craig]]) as their personal weapons throughout the movie. Robert ([[Mathieu Kassovitz]]) also uses a Beretta M951 during the assassination of Abdel Wael Zwaiter in Rome, though he later switches to a Walther PPK. It should be noted that Avner is seen holding a [[Beretta 92F]] on the DVD cover, which would not have existed in 1972.

In reality, the Mossad agents involved in the events portrayed in the film used suppressed .22 caliber [[Beretta Model 70|Beretta Model 71]] pistols.

Note: The actual Mossad assasins used surpressed [[Beretta Model 70]] pistols with hollow points.

−
-I believe the real pistols were .22s. And in the movie, there are .22LR casings lying in the pool of the first target's blood. Yes, those were 22 casings he picks up, but they goofed up by showing them using 9mm Berettas to kill Zwaiter. There were no 22 conversions for the 951.
 
−
 
 
−
:If I remember correctly, Sayeret Matkal and other IDF elite units used Beretta M1951s as their sidearm of choice which showed up in many photographs of past IDF operations.  That's probably why the production team choosed this weapon.  Also since many members of the team were not actual Mossad field agents, it would make sense for them to choose a weapon that they were more familiar with.

[[Walther P38]] or post-war P1 pistols can be seen in the hands of Palestinian terrorists throughout the movie, most notably during the initial seizure of the Israeli athletes in Munich and later during a Mexican stand-off between the assassins and PLO operatives in Athens. It should be noted that in real life, the Black September terrorists used [[Tokarev TT-33]] pistols rather than the Walther.

The following weapons were used in the film Munich:



SPOILERS.jpg WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Pistols

Beretta M1951

A Beretta M1951 is used by Avner (Eric Bana) and Steve (Daniel Craig) as their personal weapons throughout the movie. Robert (Mathieu Kassovitz) also uses a Beretta M1951 during the assassination of Abdel Wael Zwaiter in Rome, though he later switches to a Walther PPK. It should be noted that Avner is seen holding a Beretta 92F on the DVD cover, which would not have existed in 1972. In reality, the Mossad agents involved in the events portrayed in the film used suppressed .22 caliber Beretta Model 71 pistols.

Avner prepares to shoot Zwaiter with his Beretta M951.
Steve brandishes his Beretta during the stand-off with the Palestinians in Athens.
Avner holds his Beretta while pondering his actions.

Walther P38

Walther P38 or post-war P1 pistols can be seen in the hands of Palestinian terrorists throughout the movie, most notably during the initial seizure of the Israeli athletes in Munich and later during a Mexican stand-off between the assassins and PLO operatives in Athens. It should be noted that in real life, the Black September terrorists used Tokarev TT-33 pistols rather than the Walther.

Walther PP

Walther PP pistols are used by members of Avner's team and by Palestinian terrorists, most prominently during the scene in Athens where the PLO operatives and Israeli assassins find each other sharing the same room. Later, Ali (Omar Metwally), uses a Walther PP during a shootout with Avner as the assassins try to flee the scene after killing Zaiad Muchasi.

Makarov PM

A Makarov PM is used by Carl (Ciarán Hinds) and Robert (Mathieu Kassovitz) during the scenes set in Athens, a curious choice considering the weapons used by his fellow team members. A Makarov is also carried by a KGB bodyguard that is watching over Zaiad Muchasi.
