MacGruber is the 2010 motion picture based on the recurring comedic sketch on Saturday Night Live. The Character of MacGruber (Will Forte) started out as a spoof of the Richard Dean Anderson starring 1980s show MacGyver, and Forte re-creates his television character along with Kristen Wiig as Vicki St. Elmo. Many personalities from the Wrestling world also appear in the film.
Dieter Von Cunth also tries to pull a new model Taurus PT92AFS with rails during the climax, but MacGruber quickly disarms him. A guy is also seen firing a Taurus at a gun range during MacGruber's 'recruiting' montage.
Lt. Dixon Piper (Ryan Phillippe) carries a Glock 17 as his sidearm throughout the film, most notably during the warehouse shootout. He uses it during every confrontation in the film. At one point he offers the gun to MacGruber (Will Forte), but he refuses in favor of his gadgets. Senator Garver (Kevin Skousen) also uses a suppressed Glock 17 when he tries to assassinate Col. James Faith (Powers Boothe) after Von Cunth blackmails him.
Another one of Constantine Bach's (Timothy V. Murphy) sidearms is a Smith & Wesson 5903TSW, a 'tactical' version of the regular 5903 with rails. Von Cunth (Val Kilmer) also uses this gun to kill one of his 'too honest' henchmen.
A random guy is seen firing a Beretta 92FS at a firing range during MacGruber's 'recruiting' montage. One of Von Cunth's men is also seen firing a Beretta during the warehouse shootout. Some henchmen are also seen with Berettas during the compound shootout.
Various models of the MP5 are seen on MacGruber's Team, all of whom appear to be stars from the WWE wrestling world.

The WWE Wrestling stars listed left to right: MVP, Kane, The Great Khali, Mark Henry and Chris Jericho. The 'commandos' carry the usual assortment of M4 carbines and MP5s. Mark Henry seems to have a tactical shotgun that looks like a toy in his hands, but it is hard to see from this angle.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
An interesting variation of the MP5K is seen in the film. The MP5Ks are outfitted with MP5A2 full stocks and short suppressors on the ends, but they all have the straight West German Polizei stick magazines, rather than the classic curved 30 round magazines.
Several of Von Cunth's henchmen use M4A1 assault rifles throughout the film. Some of McGruber's old crew are also seen with M4A1s after the recruiting montage. Lt. Piper also throws MacGruber an M4 fitted with an M203 Grenade Launcher at his wedding to dispose of Von Cunth.
