(WARNING! Spoilers below.)


Assault Rifles

Heckler & Koch G36K

During the bridge ambush, Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) grabs a Heckler & Koch G36K Assault Rifle from the trunk of his Lincoln Navigator and uses it against the operatives of Owen Davian (Philip Seymour Hoffman). Several IMF operatives also carry G36's as they escort Davian from the plane to the convoy.

Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is the sidearm Ethan carries when he and the IMF convoy are ambushed on the Bay Bridge by operatives of Owen Davian (Phillip Seymour Hoffman). In Shanghai, another Beretta 92FS ends up in Ethan's hands, who proceeds to give it to his wife Julia (Michelle Monaghan). He shows her how to properly load and handle the gun just before she has to administer him a heart-stopping electrical shock . Julia uses it to shoot IMF Ops Director and turncoat Musgrave (Billy Crudup), who also is holding a Beretta.

Beretta 92 Vertec

Designed for use by the US Marines (with a shortened barrel and lower rail), the Beretta Vertec is the sidearm of Ethan Hunt during the mission to rescue Agent Ferris. He passes it to Ferris during their escape and it is fitted with a tactical flashlight. I believe it is a Beretta Vertec, but it is some custom model, as it has a Brigadier-type heavy slide.

Glock 17

Several IMF agents handle the Glock 17 in the film. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) possesses two versions of the Glock while in Shanghai. The first is seen during his infiltration of the military-controlled skyscraper - however, this version seems to only fire tranquilzer darts that subdue the roof guards. He quickly loses the gun in order to prevent himself from falling to his death. The second is seen during the escape and subsequent car chase, Ethan leans out of their car with another Glock 17 (this one firing live rounds) and shoots out a pursuing car's tires, causing a wreck and terminating the chase. Zhen (Maggie Q) also uses one during the bridge ambush.

Desert Eagle (Modified)

Hunt uses a Desert Eagle modified to fire camera disablers and with a grappler attachment during the Vatican mission. (It is unusual for this weapon to be used by an American government operative.)

Heavy Weapons

Barrett M82

Several Barrett M82 sniper rifles are planted by Ethan in front of the warehouse before the rescue mission. Each rifle is mounted on a remote turret and is fed by two ammo drums (presumably .50BMG). The rate of fire in the movie is most likely a rapid semi-automatic rather than a slow automatic rate of fire. The Barrett rifles are fired remotely by Luther (Ving Rhames).
