SIG-Sauer P220R

John McClane's (Bruce Willis's) main weapon throughout the movie is a SIG-Sauer P220R (nowadays, this model is simply known as the standard P220). During the confrontation with Mai Linh (Maggie Q) in the power plant, she takes the P220 and holds it on Matt Farrel (Justin Long). After McClane hits her with an SUV, she loses the gun and it is never seen again; McClane later takes a Beretta PX4 Storm from a slain terrorist, which becomes his weapon for the rest of the movie.

Beretta Px4 Storm

A terrorist trying to kill John McClane (Bruce Willis) is using a silenced Beretta Px4 Storm. John McClane then picks it up and uses it in the second half of the film. During the final confrontation with Gabriel, McClane drops the pistol, and is then used by Matt Farell to kill Emerson with.

H&K UMP

Virtually all of the terrorists use the Heckler & Koch UMP. They are all fitted with C-More optical sights, Surefire M900A vertical grip/flashlight combinations, and flash hiders. McClane commandeers one after the shootout at Matt Farell's apartment, but never uses it.

Jericho 941

One of the guns Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) uses is a stainless steel Jericho 941, which he holds on McClane's daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) in the final confrontation. Later, he puts the Jericho to McClane's shoulder, and McClane simply forces him to pull the trigger, so that Gabriel is shot in the chest through McClane's shoulder.

Glock 17

Many of the police officers and security guards throughout the movie are armed with 3rd Generation Glock 17 pistols. McClane briefly uses one to kill a terrorist disguised as a guard at the power plant.

Beretta 92FS

One of the terrorists is seen with a Beretta 92FS, likely as a tribute to the original Die Hard films which made this gun famous.

Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR

The gun used by the terrorist snipers, first in the shootout at Matt Farell(Justin Long)'s apartment, and later during chase scene in Washington D.C., is the Mark 12 Mod 0 SPR (Special Purpose Rifle). The Mod 0 uses a PRI carbon fiber handguard where the Mod 1 uses either a Knight Armament or LaRue Tactical free-floating aluminum handguard. This is a little-known AR15 derivative developed by Crane and is used by SOCOM in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other hot-spots globally. The versions in the movie are fitted with suppressors and brass catchers and are fired on automatic (which suggests that the terrorists simply took the upper receivers/barrels and slapped them on full-auto lowers).

Heckler & Koch USP Tactical

During the scene at the power plant, McClane runs into a terrorist who is armed with a Heckler & Koch USP Tactical fitted with a KAC suppressor. McClane fires his SIG P220R and the terrorist fires the USP Tactical simultaneously over each other's heads before knocking each other's guns away. McClane eventually gets a Glock 17 out of the terrorist's holster and uses it to kill him.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1

Another gun used by Thomas Gabriel (Timothy Olyphant) is the Heckler & Koch MP7A1 using one to kill some of his associates, and later Gabriel's henchman Emerson (Edoardo Costa) uses a Heckler & Koch MP7A1 to wound McClane moments before the rescue of his daughter Lucy (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Later, Lucy knocks the MP7 out of Emerson's hands and tries to kick it to McClane, but Gabriel intercepts the weapon before it reaches McClane.

Emerson's (Edoardo Costa's) sidearm is a Heckler & Koch USP Compact which Lucy grabs after she knocks the MP7A1 out of his hands and shoots him in the foot with it, but he restrains her and holds it on her.
