The Guns of Bullet Train (2022): Every Weapon Identified

A trainload of assassins, one very unlucky Ladybug, and a surprising amount of hands-on fighting: Bullet Train is more brawl than gunfight, but when the guns do come out, they are real and specific. Here are the guns of Bullet Train, and where to buy them.

Ladybug’s SIG Sauer P229

Brad Pitt’s Ladybug, the assassin trying very hard not to kill anyone, ends up with a SIG Sauer P229, the compact, hammer-fired duty pistol favored by federal agents. It is the perfect gun for a reluctant gunfighter: reliable, controllable, and no-nonsense. The P229 remains one of the most trusted carry and duty pistols on the market.

The Glock 17

Glocks pass through several hands on the train, including a custom competition build. The Glock 17 is the full-size 9mm that set the template for the modern striker pistol, and its simplicity makes it the natural pick for characters who need a gun to just work. See our best concealed carry handguns guide.

The Smith & Wesson Model 36 Snub Revolver

Cutting against all the polymer autos is a Smith & Wesson Model 36, the classic five-shot snub-nosed .38 revolver. Small, simple, and utterly reliable, the little J-frame has been a backup and pocket gun for seventy years. It is a fitting choice on a train full of over-planners: sometimes five sure shots beat seventeen complicated ones. More in our best revolvers guide.

The Rest of the Carriage

Rounding out the arsenal are a Rock Island Armory 1911 and a Colt 1911, the century-old .45 that never goes out of style. But honestly, Bullet Train spends more time on briefcases, snakes, and fists than on firefights, which is part of its charm. If the ensemble’s hardware caught your eye, our handgun and revolver guides cover the real versions.
