The Guns of Mission: Impossible
The guns of the Mission: Impossible films — Ethan Hunt's recurring 1911, the HK USP Compact that turns up across the team and the Syndicate, Ilsa Faust's suppressed AX308 sniper rifle, her ACOG-topped M4, and her SIG, plus the EOTech HK416s and the MP5s around them — each mapped to a current production model you can build, with the optic where it's documented. A stunt franchise with more iron than you'd think. Researched from public sources; not affiliated with the films.
Between the HALO jumps and the cliffside motorcycles — the IMF's actual hardware.
