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.
Glock 17
Most of Merrick's men use Glock 17 pistols, some of which are confiscated and used by the main characters.
Glock 19
Nile is seen giving a Glock 19 pistol to Andy.
Glock in CAA Micro RONI
Andy uses a CAA Micro RONI with a Glock pistol and what appears to be an airsoft G&G 556 holographic sight.
Heckler & Koch HK45
Booker briefly uses an Heckler & Koch HK45.
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
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).
SIG-Sauer P226
Andy holds a prop SIG-Sauer P226 with a very obviously plugged 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
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 HK416
Heckler & Koch HK416s are heavily used by Merrick's security forces and are frequently appropriated by Andy's team during the final battle
Norinco Type 56-1
Sudanese militia and Afghan smugglers are armed with Norinco Type 56-1 rifles.
AK-47
The Afghan bombmaker Nile shoots carries an AK-47 assault rifle (or possibly a Type 56; the muzzle is never seen).

Explosives
Hand grenades
Merrick's forces carry some sort of cylindrical concussion grenade sometimes appropriated by Andy.
