Black Widow is a 2021 American spy film directed by Cate Shortland and written by Eric Pearson, Jac Schaeffer (WandaVision), and Ned Benson. The film marks the first solo feature starring Scarlett Johansson as Natasha Romanoff, the former S.H.I.E.L.D. agent and Avenger who was part of the Russian "Black Widow" female assassin program. After the events of Captain America: Civil War, while on the run from the US government, Natasha is forced to contact her long-forgotten family. Together, they decide to end their dark past and destroy the Red Room once and for all. Black Widow also is the first feature film of Phase Four of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and was originally scheduled for release in 2020, but after several delays, was released in July of 2021 in both theaters and on the premium tier of the streaming service Disney+.
The following weapons were used in the film Black Widow:
In the opening scene, Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) picks up what appears to be a Kimber K6s CDP revolver from the kitchen cabinet and quickly puts it in her purse before escaping from their temporary house in Ohio in 1995. This gun is an anachronism since the Kimber K6s was introduced in 2016.
Kimber K6s CDP - .357 Magnum
Melina fumbles for the gun on top of the cabinet...
...and puts it in her purse.
Chiappa Rhino 60DS
Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) is armed with a Chiappa Rhino 60DS with Heckler & Koch P30-style grip, but it is holstered for most of the film. In the Red Room in Dreykov's office, she pulls out a gun and points it at Natasha, but lowers it on her father's orders.

Pistols
Beretta 92FS
During the opening scene set in 1995, S.H.I.E.L.D. agents fire what appear to be Beretta 92FS pistols at Natasha's family's plane as they attempt to escape from the USA. Two Berettas with wooden grips with the Black Widow logo and three pistols with regular black plastic grips are seen on the table in the Red Room during the opening credits. What appears to be a Beretta 92FS is seen in the holster of a police officer involved in some kind of riot in Dreykov's video. A Beretta 92FS pistol hangs on a weapon rack in Melina's armory.

Glock 17
SWAT officers and some Albany County Sheriff's Department deputy officers have Glock 17s at the arresting scene. For some unknown reason, several of the SWAT officers storming the Albany Terminal where Natasha Romanoff is allegedly hiding have two pistols and two drop leg holsters, with most Glock 17s holstered on their right drop leg holsters. A New York sheriff's deputy also aims with a pistol while hiding behind the hood of a police car. A Glock 17 can be seen in Melina's weapons armory.

The four Black Widows are armed with a Glock 17 with 33-round magazine mounted in a CAA Micro RONI with laser sights when they break into the former S.H.I.E.L.D. safe house, where Yelena now lives. They aim solely by the lasers due to the low light level and smoky environment. Despite good training, they never shoot Natasha and Yelena, who quickly knock down one of the Widows and run away from the apartment.

Glock 26
Twin Glock 26 pistols with extended magazines appear as the main weapons of all Black Widows. One of them puts the gun in her holster during the opening credits. Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and another Black Widow named Ingrid (Nanna Blondell) have holstered pistols during their mission to eliminate a traitor in Tangier, Morocco. Yelena's guns are best seen when she fights Oksana, and Ingrid's when she tries to contact her runaway partner. After escaping Ross' pursuit in New York, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) takes her pistols (or one of them) and goes to a temporary refuge near Sæbø, Norway. Noticing that there is already someone in the RV, she pulls out the gun, but lowers it, since it turns out to be her friend Rick Mason (O-T Fagbenle). After going for gasoline for the generator, she is ambushed by Taskmaster on the bridge, where during a short battle she draws and shoots her Glock 26 at the attacker several times before it is kicked out of her hands and never recovered after she is kicked off the bridge. Yelena continues to carry and use her Glock 26 later in Budapest. At first, she points it at Natasha during their long-awaited meeting, but, during the fight, they both exchange guns. At some point, Natasha returns the Glock 26 to Yelena, and during a chase through the streets of Budapest, points the gun at the BMW driver (Marcel Dorian), while stealing his car. Ingrid and the other Widows continue to carry holstered pistols as they chase Natasha and Yelena. Yelena draws and wields her gun at the Saint Petersburg homestead when Red Room operatives arrive until Melina knocks her out. Many Black Widows practice with Glock pistols in the Red Room.

Glock 43
Deciding to rescue her adoptive father Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour) from prison in exchange for information about the Red Room, Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) contacts Rick again to get transport and new equipment which includes a pair of Glock 43 pistols, however, the guns aren't used during the rescue operation. At the meeting place, she takes one of the pistols out of her bag to examine. Some Black Widows in the Red Room train with Glock 43s along with Glock 26s. Natasha, disguised as Melina (Rachel Weisz), carries her pistols in holsters during her meeting with Dreykov. After revealing, Natasha points the Glock 43 at Dreykov but is unable to harm him due to protective pheromones. Dreykov (Ray Winstone) takes the gun and shoots at the ceiling to prove that the gun is loaded. After retrieving data of all the Black Widows, as she escapes the Red room, Natasha draws both her Glock 43s and shoots at the glass. Once she jumps out she loses both guns leaving her thigh holsters empty by the end of the film. In several scenes, the gun is replaced with an Umarex replica because the gun is too close to the Ray Winstone's face.

Natasha Romanoff (Scarlett Johansson) takes aim at the leader of the Red Room in his office with her Glock 43.
Nat holds her Glock 43 at Dreykov but for some reason is unable to fire her gun. The slide profile is very thin compared to the Glock 26 she usually carries.
But Dreykov doesn't seem surprised by anything. The gun's thinner striker profile can be seen along with the Glock factory
An excellent close-up of Black Widow's pistol confirms to be a Glock 43 and not her usual Glock 26. Here you can see how slim the slide and frame are with the latter showing the shaved width profile of the frame and bulging material area where the slide release section is. The underbarrel frame section is also thinner and lacking a rail from a Glock 26. Also, a special Umarex marking and serial number is noticeable on the pistol.
General Dreykov fires the Black Widow's pistol upwards.
Realizing that they cannot harm each other, Dreykov and Natasha have a dialogue. At this time, the pistol lies on the general's desk showing the gun's slim appearance.
Natasha shoots at the glass as she runs to clear her way out of the collapsing Red Room.
FN Five-seveN
The Red Room operatives carry FN Five-seveN pistols in holsters throughout the movie. They are first seen during the opening credits when the operatives lead the stolen children into the trucks for the Red Room. Due to this sequence taking place in 1995, the pistol is anachronistic by 3 years. In the final act of the film, pistols can also be seen, for example, in the holster of the operative, from whom Melina knocks the gun out, or during the evacuation of Dreykov.

Heckler & Koch P30
Rick Mason (O-T Fagbenle), an independent contractor and Natasha's ally, has a Heckler & Koch P30. It lies on the bedside table in front of the bed and he tries to take the gun but stops when he sees Natasha. Later he leaves the gun for Natasha next to the building's stairs in Budapest. Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) takes the gun and enters an apartment previously used by S.H.I.E.L.D. as a safe house, where Yelena now lives. During a confrontation, she briefly exchanges the pistol with her sister's pistol. During the fight between Natasha and Yelena, the gun falls to the floor and remains there.

Makarov PM
In the opening scene, at least two Russian soldiers in Cuba in 1995 have holstered Makarov PM pistols. When one of them grabs Yelena (Violet McGraw) by the arm, Natasha (Ever Anderson) kicks him and takes the pistol out of his holster. She points the gun at the soldiers and then at her father. At this moment, one soldier grabs a pistol from his holster and aims at her. However, Alexei (David Harbour) manages to calm down his daughter and disarm her. He unloads the gun and drops it to the ground. The pistol stays on the ground until the end of the flashback. Several Makarov pistols are seen in a weapons armory in Budapest.
Makarov PM - 9x18mm Makarov
A Russian soldier grabs Yelena by the hand. Note the pistol in his holster.
Alexei is distracted from the conversation with Dreykov because his daughter draws the gun from the soldier's holster and threatens everyone.

The soldier aims the Makarov pistol at young Natasha.
She also aims at her father, who tries to calm her down.
Taking the pistol from his daughter, Shostakov immediately unloads it.
Alexei drops the pistol on the ground and the soldier from whom Natasha snatched it and does not take the gun but instead picks up Yelena's Twilight Sparkle plush, which is notably anachronistic as the character and show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic wasn't around until 2010.
A detailed peek of the weapon rack in Budapest shows seven Makarov PM pistols (three of them have suppressor-ready barrels).
In the gun armory, above and below the Mossberg 590 Cruiser shotgun are five to six Makarov pistols which some appear suppressor-ready.

Two officers (right and left) have pistols in holsters on their right legs.
The holsters with the guns are seen when the operators enter the Terminal building with Ross.
Submachine Guns
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1
Almost all Red Room operatives are armed with CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 with sights. It is first seen during the ambush at Melina's homestead. Many operatives are also armed with submachine guns in the Red Room. Melina (Rachel Weisz) picks up the gun of one of the operatives and shoots at the turbine.

Steyr TMP
Two Steyr TMPs are first seen on the table in the Red Room during the opening credits. Several Steyr TMPs are seen in Yelena Belova's (Florence Pugh) armory in Budapest apartment. After escaping from the Widows, one of them (Simona Zivkovska) continues the pursuit on a motorcycle. In this scene, she switches from the AW-F rifle to a Steyr TMP and shoots at the car that Natasha and Yelena stole from a civilian (Marcel Dorian) until Yelena knocks her off the motorcycle with the torn-off door.

After reaching the car, the Widow takes a submachine gun and shoots at the rear window.
Assault Rifles and Carbines
AK-47
In the opening scene, several Russian soldiers in Cuba in 1995 are armed with an AK-47. One of them holds the assault rifle at the ready when Natasha (Ever Anderson) grabs the pistol from another soldier, but then lowers it. AK-47s wielded by Russian soldiers in 1995 should be considered an anachronism. Some Seventh Circle Prison guards are also armed with now obsolete AK-47 during the riot.
AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

AKS-47
In the opening scene, one of the Russian soldiers in Cuba in 1995 is armed with an AKS-47. He keeps it ready when Natasha (Ever Anderson) grabs the pistol from another soldier but then lowers it. Again an anachronism for a Russian soldier to carry an outdated rifle in 1995.
AKS-47 with folded stock - 7.62x39mm
This soldier (left) witnesses the wounded Melina being taken away on a stretcher.
Seventh Circle Prison guards are mostly armed with AKS-74 assault rifles during a prison riot. Most if not all AKs have tactical railed handguards similar to LHV47 (or its airsoft clone from King Arms) railed handguards.

Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm.
A SWAT officer armed with the Colt Model 933 as he walks past the Terminal building. Note the fixed carrying handle rear sight.
Heckler & Koch G36C
The Red Room operatives are armed with the Heckler & Koch G36C during child kidnapping for the Black Widow program during the opening credits. This is an anachronism as the opening credits take place around 1995, while the G36C wasn't produced until 2001. By 2016, operatives instead use the HS Produkt VHS-K2 and CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1. Several SWAT officers led by U.S. Secretary of State Thaddeus Ross are also armed with Heckler & Koch G36Cs with EOTech sights when they are looking for Natasha to arrest.

Two Black Widows use M4A1 carbines with ACOG scopes and SureFire M900 vertical grips during the raid on a S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouse in Budapest. Hearing shots in Yelena's apartment, they attack Natasha and her sister, and then, going up the stairs, continue to shoot them.

Ruger Mini-14
In the opening scene, Alexei Shostakov (David Harbour) takes a newer version of Ruger Mini-14 with the optic scope and a pack of cartridges from a closet when Natasha's family escapes from their temporary house in Ohio in 1995. Inadvertently, he scatters cartridges, but little Yelena (Violet McGraw) helps him to collect them. However, in all other scenes, an older rifle is used, which can be distinguished by the slanted front sight. Alexei puts the rifle and other things in the car and the family drives to the airfield. There, he pulls the rifle from the trunk and hangs it on his back, preparing the plane for flight, and when the S.H.I.E.L.D. SUVs approach, he takes the rifle and fires several times. Alexei runs after the plane, shooting on the run, and at the last moment jumps onto the wing, from where he continues to fire from his rifle, taking several cars out of the pursuit.

While the plane is picking up speed, Alexei shoots the Ruger Mini-14 at the S.H.I.E.L.D. SUVs...
...and continues shooting, but this time on the wing of the plane.
It turns out to be much more difficult to shoot on the wing of the plane, so he spends a lot of time aiming.
The last shot by Alexei knocks out two cars at once.

Shotguns
AA-12
Seventh Circle Prison guards are incorrectly armed with AA-12 shotguns with non-lethal ammo (the KS-23 would be a better choice for Russia). Many of them open fire when a riot breaks out in the prison with the sound report of a multi-shot gas launcher. A production image shows Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) with an AA-12, but she does not use it in the final cut.

Yelena Belova (Florence Pugh) and another Black Widow named Ingrid (Nanna Blondell) track down the fugitive Black Widow Oksana (Michelle Lee) in Tangier, Morocco with suppressed Accuracy International AW-Fs. When Oksana notices the surveillance, she starts to run away and Yelena pulls out the bolt from her rifle (apparently for security reasons) and, leaving it on the roof, runs in pursuit. Ingrid also leaves her rifle on a tripod and discovers Yelena's escape. One of the Black Widows (Simona Zivkovska) spots Natasha and Yelena and starts firing a rifle (but misses) during a raid on the S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouse in Budapest. Then Ingrid goes to intercept, leaving her rifle in the sniper position.

Yelena is also watching Oksana through the scope of her rifle, but unlike her partner, she does not have a tripod, but only a bipod.
Before leaving the roof and running after Oksana, she pulls the bolt from her rifle, continuing to focus on the target at that moment.
A Black Widow (Simona Zivkovska) tries in vain to hit the fleeing Natasha and Yelena with her rifle.
After receiving the information, Ingrid leaves the position.
Blaser R93
Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) takes a suppressed Blaser R93 sniper rifle from the barn after noticing the approaching people, but upon seeing her family, lowers the rifle and carries it into the house.

M84 Stun Grenade
Yelena (Florence Pugh) takes one M84 stun grenade from her arsenal and throws it onto the stairs during the Black Widow attack in Budapest. This gives them a few seconds, and she and Natasha escape through the roof. Several grenades also hang from the Black Widows' weapon rack in the Red Room. Yelena grabs one of them, tyes on test tubes with Red Dust, and throws them into the crowd of hostile Black Widows beating Natasha in Dreykov's office.
Yelena (Florence Pugh) takes a Heckler & Koch XM25 grenade launcher from the bag and shoots at the watchtower where the machine gunner is located. It is most likely a mock-up, possibly the same one created for The Expendables 3 which was built around an L85A1.
Pre-2015 XM25 pre-production model - 25x40mm
Belova takes the grenade launcher from the bag...
...and shoots at the enemy.
The grenade launcher is even better visible after a successful shot.
M203 Grenade Launcher
What appears to be a M203 grenade launcher mounted on a M4A1 rifle is seen in the hands of a US Army soldier during the opening credits. A Red Room operative that Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz) disarms carries a CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 with a M203 grenade launcher attached. Melina then commandeers the weapon and fires the launcher.
The gun with the UBGL lies on the floor after being hit.
She picks up the gun.
Melina (Rachel Weisz) fires the grenade launcher at the turbine above them. Important note: Melina pulls the trigger of the Scorpion EVO itself, not the grenade launcher.
RPG-7
A soldier shoots an RPG-7 during the opening credits.
The Black Widow's Bite is an electroshock bracelet used by all Black Widow assassins. The bracelets are not used most of the time in the film. For the first time, Ingrid (Nanna Blondell), whose mind is controlled by Dreykov, uses the Bite to commit suicide due to her injuries. Melina Vostokoff (Rachel Weisz), who has betrayed her family, fires a Bite at Yelena in her home as the Red Room operatives arrive. Natasha (Scarlett Johansson) also stuns several hostile Black Widows with the Bite during a fight in Dreykov's office in the film's final act.
Ingrid brings the weapon to her face against her will.
After Dreykov activates the Taskmaster protocol, she examines the recording of the Avengers Civil War (see Captain America: Civil War) at the Leipzig-Halle Airport, specifically the Black Panther and Hawkeye fight, in which Clint uses his unique bow. After that, Taskmaster copies the fighting style of both and uses his own bow in Budapest.
Taskmaster examines the recording of the Black Panther and Hawkeye fight at the Leipzig-Halle Airport.
Taskmaster's Collapsible Recurve Bow
Inspired by Hawkeye's fighting style, Taskmaster (Olga Kurylenko) creates her own collapsible recurve bow with explosive arrows. She first uses a bow in Norway during an ambush on Natasha Romanoff, but it is unseen. While chasing Natasha and Yelena in Budapest, Taskmaster activates her bow and shoots an exploding arrow under the bottom of their car.

Taskmaster (stunt double Andy Lister in this scene) shoots the bow at Natasha and Yelena's car.
The explosive arrow bounces off the asphalt and hits the underside of the car in slow motion...
...and the car explodes.
Yelena's Armory
Yelena (Florence Pugh) created her own arsenal in one of the rooms of a S.H.I.E.L.D. safehouse in Budapest. After a small fight, Yelena and Natasha go together to the armory, where Belova takes a wad of money and an M84 stun grenade while discussing the Budapest Operation with her sister.
The AKS-74U, an AR-15's handguard with flashlight, and a Steyr TMP are better visible here.
Melina's Armory
There is a hidden room in Melina's house with many weapons and other equipment. In this room, she and Natasha come up with a plan to trick Dreykov and get into the Red Room.
A BM-21 Grad is seen firing during the opening credits.

Red Room Jet
Red Room operatives use fictional aircraft with multiple weapons in the second half of the film. Several jets arrive at Melina's homestead to detain Natasha's entire family. A few more (including Dreykov's jet) are trying to leave the collapsing Red Room, but only Melina and Alexei succeed in this.
