Nobody 2 brings back Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell — the man who made “average suburban dad” look surprisingly good behind a suppressor. The sequel keeps the same mix of sharp choreography and outrageous durability; Hutch takes enough punishment to make John Wick wince, but he’s still reloading and clearing rooms like it’s just another Tuesday.
For gun people, though, the real star isn’t Hutch Mansell. It’s the hardware.
Below is a closer look at the firearms featured throughout Nobody 2 — some realistic, some pure movie magic — but all of them worth a moment of appreciation.
Handguns
Glock 17 (Gen 5)
The workhorse of modern action cinema makes several appearances. It’s reliable, simple, and instantly recognizable. The movie version cycles through endless magazines (naturally), but at least the handling looks solid. For once, the actor actually uses the sights.
SIG Sauer P226R
One of Hutch’s go-to pistols, the P226R balances old-school heft with practical performance. Its DA/SA trigger and classic profile make it a favorite of armorers and federal agents alike. In the movie, it serves as both his backup and statement piece — the kind of pistol that says, “I’ve done this before.”
Heckler & Koch USP Compact
Compact, accurate, and German enough to look cool even in close-ups. The USP Compact fits the “professional but understated” look that Nobody built its aesthetic on — the weapon you’d actually expect to see under a car seat, not a prop rack.
Rifles & Carbines
Heckler & Koch HK416 A5
This one’s the hero rifle. The 416 A5 has become the darling of both special operations units and Hollywood productions for good reason: piston-driven reliability, smooth recoil, and that unmistakable profile. In Nobody 2, it’s kitted with the usual cinematic extras — suppressor, vertical foregrip, and a red dot that somehow stays perfectly zeroed through every explosion.
SIG MCX Virtus SBR
The MCX series continues its takeover of the big screen. Lightweight, modular, and absurdly adaptable, it’s the gun that can look like anything the director wants it to. In real life, its quick-change barrel and folding stock make it a legitimate choice for professional work — or, apparently, suburban vigilantism.
AR-15 Variants
Several AR-style rifles pop up in background scenes and villain hands. They’re the visual shorthand for “these guys mean business.” Whether they’re Daniel Defense, Colt, or mix-and-match builds, the silhouette does most of the talking.
Shotguns
Mossberg 590A1
A movie standby and real-world legend. The 590A1’s heavy-walled barrel and metal trigger guard make it nearly indestructible. On-screen, it’s Hutch’s tool for when things get personal — a bit loud for stealth, but undeniably effective.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The M4 makes a cameo as the operator’s choice. In reality, it’s as smooth and reliable as it looks, running through both buck and slug without complaint. In the movie, it’s mostly there to make the audience grin — the sound of that cycling bolt never gets old.
Submachine Guns & Special Gear
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
Compact, futuristic, and just plain cool. The MP7 has been showing up in films since the early 2000s and still looks ahead of its time. Its real-world 4.6 × 30 mm cartridge might not be the stuff of legend, but its controllability makes it a favorite for close-quarters choreography.
CZ Scorpion Evo 3
Quickly becoming the indie darling of prop masters. Lightweight, easy to accessorize, and mean-looking in the right lighting. The real thing is popular among PCC shooters for the same reasons: simple, affordable, and surprisingly accurate.
The Hollywood Paradox
It’s no secret that Bob Odenkirk’s public comments suggest he’s not exactly a gun guy. That makes Nobody 2 unintentionally funny for those of us who are. There’s something poetic about watching a self-professed skeptic command an HK416 like he’s leading a CQB team. Then again, that’s Hollywood — guns are bad until the cameras roll.
Final Shots
Nobody 2 might not be realistic, but it’s beautifully shot — in every sense. The choreography feels modern, the guns look authentic, and the action moves with the rhythm of a fight scene that knows it’s over the top.
If you watch movies the way some people read spec sheets, this one’s worth a pause-and-zoom every few minutes. Just don’t try counting the rounds; you’ll lose that battle early.
