Wild Target

Wild Target (2009)

Wild Target is a 2009 British romantic comedy directed by Jonathan Lynn (Clue, The Whole Nine Yards) starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt, Rupert Grint, Martin Freeman and Rupert Everett. It is a remake of the 1993 French film Cible Emouvante (Wild Target) starring Jean Rochefort.

The following weapons were used in the film Wild Target:

Beretta 92FS

A Beretta 92FS is used by Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) in several hits. He owns at least two, with one of them equipped with a LAM and suppressor. His mother Louisa (Eileen Atkins) calls the Beretta the "Pistol of Princes," reminding Victor that she gave him one for his seventh birthday (although it probably wasn't a modern 92FS).

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Victor Maynard (Bill Nighy) uses an Heckler & Koch MP5A3 as his preferred "sniper" weapon, which he carries in a briefcase. His mother Louisa (Eileen Atkins) uses one as well.

Victor opens his briefcase to reveal his MP5, scope, suppressor, and surprisingly, only ONE 15-round magazine.

Notice the markings on the trigger assembly. U-J-R?

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

In a continuity error, an insert shot of Victor's (or someone's hand) flicking off the safety reveals the trigger group of a Heckler & Koch MP5A5.

Heckler and Koch MP5A5 - 9x19mm - Same as the MP5A4 but with a telescoping stock. Both the A4 & A5 variants have the additional option for '3 round burst' on the selector.

The burst and full auto options appear to have been scratched out.

Smith & Wesson 686

Barney (James O'Donnell) is armed with a Smith & Wesson Model 686, which Tony and Victor later pick up.

Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"

Rose (Emily Blunt) finds Victor's father's Mauser C96. Dixon later gets his hands on it.

Rose finds the C96. The note around the barrel identify it as formerly belonging to Victor's father. It's clearly seen better days.

Trivia - Bill Nighy's hand

Bill Nighy suffers from Dupuytren's contracture, which prevents him from straightening the ring finger and pinky on each hand. This leads to him gripping his weapons in odd ways.

It's not just guns either.
