The Dictator is a 2012 comedy directed by Larry Charles (Borat) starring Sacha Baron Cohen, Ben Kingsley, and Anna Faris. Baron Cohen stars as Admiral General Aladeen, despot of the fictional North African country of Wadiya, which appears to take the place of Eritrea on the map. Typical for his movies, Baron Cohen promoted the film in character, including an appearance at the 84th Academy Awards.

He explains that he thought the gun was on Aladeen. (The joke in the film being that he changed several words to "Aladeen.") But as we can see here, the gun is actually in Aladeen, er, safe.
Nadal (Jason Mantzoukas) has a partially disassembled Heckler & Koch MP5 in his apartment. This is quite clearly a disassembled airsoft MP5 (note the gearbox, inner barrel, and battery pack holder in the pistol grip).
