30 Minutes or Less (2011)


30 Minutes or Less is a 2011 black comedy loosely based on a real-life bank robbery directed by Ruben Fleischer (Zombieland) and starring Jesse Eisenberg as a pizza delivery man abducted and forced to rob a bank or be killed by a bomb vest attached onto him. Filming was done on location in Grand Rapids, Michigan.


The following weapons were used in the film 30 Minutes or Less:


M4505 Airsoft Pistols (Smith & Wesson 4505)

Both Nick (Jesse Eisenberg) and Chet (Aziz Ansari) are seen with paint-sprayed M4505 airsoft pistols during a bank robbery. However, the airsoft pistols they use also are made in a black finish, and the black ones in the film are likely different guns altogether, judging by the matte finish as opposed to a shiny one that the paint would leave.

SIG-Sauer P228

Chango (Michael Peña) uses a two-tone SIG-Sauer P228 throughout the film. Juicy (Bianca Kajilich) uses it to fire at Nick and Chet during the botched drop off.

Smith & Wesson Model 19

Dwayne (Danny McBride) carries a Smith & Wesson Model 19 throughout the film. It initially was a replica, but he claims he converted it into a real gun by installing a firing pin. The security guard at the bank (Sam Tedesco) also carries one.

Airsoft Uzi Pistol

An airsoft Uzi Pistol is seen next to the airsoft pistols the protagonists purchase, apparently not buying them instead because they didn't look real.
