The Guns of Deadpool 2: Every Weapon Identified (2026)

Last updated August 2026 · By Nick Hall, firearms-in-film enthusiast who has identified every weapon in Deadpool 2

Wade Wilson returned with a pretty special effort in the Summer of 2018. He’s one of the few superheroes to rely on hollowpoints, so the guns obviously play a big part in the film. Swords, too, and a towel…

Here’s the opening sequence to this box office smash hit. Words really can’t do it justice so watch the glorious start to Deadpool 2 for yourself.Be warned, though, it’s gory as Hell! Cable’s gun inevitably steals the headlines, but there are plenty of other easter eggs for gun nuts in Deadpool 2.

In fact, when you realize what Cable’s gun, the BFG, really is, you might actually hate it a little…

But the guns are what we really love and, as superhero movies go, this one is full of them. So what are the star guns of Deadpool 2?

1. IWI Desert Eagle Mark XIX — Deadpool

This is Deadpool’s signature dish, and you would need a superhero’s wrists to keep a brace of these 50 caliber handguns under control. Most of us could barely handle one with two hands.

Deadpool never has a jam, he seems to get more than 7 rounds out of a mag on occasion and he’s always got the swords to fall back on. The Desert Eagles, though, are the stars. One of them puts a hole in a paedophile’s head to really get the story going, and later on the Desert Eagles come out to play time and again.

We have to be honest, we wouldn’t choose a pair of Desert Eagles. But the guns suit Deadpool perfectly and they do inflict some almighty damage.

Worth knowing for the prop nerds: the Deadpool 2 Eagles are not the guns from the first film. They are a fresh set built by Magnum Research in the USA, and they differ in the details — ported barrels, custom-cut front slide serrations, “MADE IN USA” roll marks, and the current Mk I teardrop safety. The bores were even engraved “SMILE Wait 4 Flash”, though you never actually see it in the finished cut. Cable also gets hold of one of them and turns it on Wade during the convoy sequence.

It’s a firearms heavy movie, but the Desert Eagles still get their best showing in the first Deadpool film. Watch Ryan Reynolds, definitely not a stuntman, do some wicked acrobatics here.

2. Walther PPQ M2 Q5 Match — Cable

The big scene at the end features Cable’s Walther PPQ Q5 Match pretty heavily. It even gets its own close-ups and it’s a pivotal moment in the film. So yeah, this gun is right up there with the big guns, so to speak, in the film.

Cable, played to perfection by Josh Brolin, also uses the Walther PPQ Q5 Match to fill Deadpool full of holes in a seriously expensive Hollywood action sequence that involves crashing a prison transporter through a building, among other things.

We approve of the choice, is all we have to say. We like the PPQ M2 in stock form, and the trigger set is tighter than any Glock ever will be. It’s seriously as sharp as the best custom Glock triggers from ZEV and Agency Arms out of the box.

The slide is cut and ribbed so you can operate it how you want. The 5 inch, matchgrade barrel is a match for anything out there and this really is every bit as good as the custom Glocks for a fraction of the money.

It’s a great gun for the range, for home defense and for shooting holes in paedophiles, if you’re a professionally accredited superhero of course.

3. KRISS Vector — the core of Cable’s BFG

Cable’s BFG might be a work of fiction, but there’s a very real SMG-style 9mm at its core. The KRISS Vector is famous for being, well, a movie gun. It looks the part, but the recoil mitigation system is inconsistent and it really doesn’t match its looks with performance.

Still, the KRISS Vector does look amazing and they’re coming down in price. It’s a 9mm, so with a tactical brace and pistol grip you can turn this beast into a beauty. It’s no surprise to see it crop up in the guns of Deadpool 2 and video games. It just looks mean, with the right brace and the short barrel anyway.

The BFG comes with a weird energy pulse thing, that doesn’t come with the KRISS Vector. To be honest, we don’t want to give this gun too much credit and if you’re thinking of getting a 9mm carbine that we wholeheartedly recommend the cheaper CZ Scorpion Evo 3.

The KRISS Vector isn’t garbage, it’s a clever idea, but it just doesn’t quite work. We wouldn’t mind betting that it has had more on screen roles than it has actual sales, too.

For the record, the BFG is not only a Vector. The prop is a Frankenstein of parts from across the timeline Cable has been hopping through: a KRISS Vector body, AR-15 furniture, a chunk of Barrett M82, an M203 40mm grenade launcher and the stock off an M1928 Thompson. In the Super Duper Cut he steals a guitar amplifier and bolts the knob on as a fire-control dial — and yes, it goes up to 11, which is a Spinal Tap joke. It is also never once reloaded.

4. Arsenal Firearms AF2011-A1 — Weasel

This gun made the briefest cameo appearance, but it left a lasting impression. Weasel pulls the double-barrel 1911 as Cable slips into the building. But it never gets fired in the film, and that’s a real shame.

The Arsenal Firearms AF2011 is one of those rare gems that you better be prepared to pay for. Examples are few and far between and your best bet is to check out Gunbroker, do your due diligence and make sure you’re getting a legit gun.

It’s a work of art, but a very expensive work of art.

By the way, this is not the same Bulgarian Arsenal that makes modern day AK-74s. It’s an Italian company that decided to make the hardest hitting 45 ACP it could. The simple solution was to build two guns into one frame and if you look closely you can see two triggers, two mags, two just about everything wedged into one double barrel pistol.

Here’s what one of the most intriguing handguns in the world is capable of in the hands of a professional.

5. Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket — Blind Al

The gun that starred in the first film’s dramatic ending by putting a bullet in Ajax’s head makes little more than a cameo appearance in the hands of Blind Al.

Interestingly it’s an odd caliber, .25, despite Weasel specifically saying it’s a 45 ACP. You can pick up a base model one of these guns for $450-$500. But if you want the full Deadpool spec, then get ready to spend $1500 and up.

The only real reason to do it is if you love the film that much that you want all the right guns. If that’s the case, knock yourself out.

6. FN Mk 13 EGLM — Cable

• Price: You’ll have to ask

Cable’s gun collection is pretty damned impressive, and it comes with this little beast as part of the package.

The FN Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module functions as a standalone weapon, or you can strap it to the underside of a SCAR rifle and go proper John Rambo on the world. It’s the secret weapon in Cable’s ridiculous arsenal and Josh Brolin is one of the few co-stars to leave Deadpool outgunned.

Juggernaut Feels Grenade Power

In Deadpool 2, Cable carried the standalone grenade launcher and used it to blast the cell that the hapless Deadpool and Russell had sat in just a minute before. Domino also tried and failed to blow Juggernaut’s head off with this weapon.

It’s really only on sale to law enforcement and military customers. So don’t get your hopes up about owning one. If you really want a grenade launcher, keep an eye on Gunbroker and see what pops up.

This one is a 40mm, single-shot gun that can be aimed with precision at 100 meters. At 300 meters you can hit a general area, which really is pretty impressive for a grenade gun.

7. Beretta 92FS — Zeitgeist

This one belongs to Zeitgeist, the acid-spitting X-Force recruit played by Bill Skarsgård, and it is a two-tone gold-plated 92FS — about as subtle as the man carrying it. The film gives it a proper close-up as it is chambered.

You can save an awful lot of money by going black on black, which is otherwise known as buying a normal gun. A standard 92FS is the same pistol underneath the plating.

Zeitgeist is not the only 92FS in the film either — the police officers who turn up are carrying plain-finish 92FS pistols too. The Beretta is a classic that has probably had as much screen time as the Glock 19.

Beretta is an Icon

We really don’t have to sell this gun too hard. If you don’t have one, you really need one in your life. It’s as good as any 1911 you’ll ever pick up and better than most. The factory standard 15+1 rounds is pretty sweet too.

It’s every bit as good a weapon as a Glock in its own way. This is a hammer-fired evolution of the classic 1911 and indeed it replaced that weapon as the US service sidearm in 1985.

Now, it’s a favorite for law enforcement officers around the world too and it is standard issue in M9 from the Afghan Commandos through to the Vietnamese People’s Army.

8. Tisas Zigana Sport — the gangster

This is a budget gun with some neat design touches, rather than a real matchgrade shooter. It looks the part, which was enough to secure it a non-speaking role in the film as a lowly gangster’s gun.

The Zigana turns up early, in the hands of a gangster who should have more pride than to walk around with one of these. Deadpool takes him down shortly afterwards.

You would expect that sort of character to carry a Springfield Operator 1911, or a Colt. Indeed, plenty of them do. This one went for the blingy little budget Tisas instead. That didn’t really matter, because he is dead now.

9. Cobray M11/9 — Domino

Nearly every write-up of this film calls Domino’s SMGs Mac-10s. They aren’t. What she carries is a nickel-plated Cobray M11/9, dressed up with a bayonet and a C-more red dot, and she dual-wields a pair of them in the final confrontation. Close cousin, different gun.

The distinction matters if you ever go shopping. The MAC-10 proper is the Military Armament Corporation Model 10, a bigger, heavier gun offered in 9mm or 45 ACP. The M11/9 is the smaller, later SWD/Cobray development, 9mm only, and it is the one that became the budget-transferable machine gun of choice precisely because so many were made.

Either way the appeal is the same: a surefire way to bring chaos to a confined space, at a cyclic rate north of 1,000 rounds a minute. We are sure Domino has the paperwork. In the laundry list of felonies these people would rack up in the real world, a registration issue probably wouldn’t make the top ten.

10. Mossberg 500 — Deadpool (borrowed)

Deadpool starts the final fight with a brick and maximum effort, but he relieves one of the Essex School attendants of their shotgun once the Desert Eagles run dry. This is the one most people get wrong: it is a plain Mossberg 500 with a long field barrel, not the tactical 590 Special Purpose you would expect a movie to reach for. It looks almost agricultural on screen, which is rather the point — it is a weapon of opportunity, not part of anyone’s loadout.

If you want the tactical version rather than the field gun, the 590 is the one to buy, and I’ve got a particularly big thing for the 590M with its box magazine. But the 500 is the cheaper, more common gun and it is the one actually in the film.

It’s an American classic, every bit as good as the Remington that is its natural rival, and every household should really have one.

11. Katana Swords — Deadpool

It doesn’t matter if we’d slice our own hands off doing half the stuff that Deadpool gets away with. He can do that, too, and grow new ones with the magic healing factor. We can’t.

But the Katana Swords are still mighty cool, and we wish we were half as good with them as Wade. Along with the Desert Eagles, the Katana swords are the trademark Deadpool weapons.

Also Seen in Deadpool 2

The eleven above are the weapons that get real screen time. If you want the complete count, these turn up too:

• Kel-Tec KSG — the bullpup 12-gauge carried by the DMC guards, some with Magpul RVG foregrips.
• Beretta Px4 Storm — a background sidearm, and a far more sensible carry gun than most things in this film.
• Colt M1911A1 — the original, still turning up a century on.
• Taurus PT92 (nickel) — the Brazilian Beretta cousin, in bright nickel.
• Heckler & Koch MP5A3 — the default movie SMG, here in a supporting role.
• Beretta 92FS (plain) — carried by the responding police officers.
• Vickers Mk1 and the Lewis Gun — two genuine First World War machine guns, part of the time-scrambled set dressing around Cable.
