Kick-Ass is the 2010 feature film adaptation of the Mark Millar/John Romita, Jr. comic book series of the same name. Directed by Matthew Vaughn, the film stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a nerdy high-school teenager who one day decides to fight crime as a masked superhero, despite his lack of powers, training, or any reason to do so. The film's cast included Nicolas Cage, Mark Strong, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Chloë Grace Moretz. The sequel Kick-Ass 2 was released in 2013.
The following weapons were used in the film Kick-Ass:
A Beretta 92FS is used by Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) in an early scene to shoot his daughter Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) to show what is like to be shot with a bulletproof vest on, and later when he attacks a group of mobsters at Frank D'Amico's lumber warehouse.
One of D'Amico's men (Tamer Hassan) is armed with a Heckler & Koch USP (of unknown caliber, probably .45 ACP) during the final shootout at D'Amico's apartment.
A Heckler & Koch USP Compact is wielded "akimbo"-style by Mindy Macready aka "Hit-Girl" (Chloë Grace Moretz) alongside a SIG-Sauer P232 during the final shootout. She also uses one in the POV scene and during the rescue, with a rail-mounted flashlight in tactical strobe mode. A two-toned H&K USP Compact is also wielded by a thug.
One of Frank D'Amico's men is armed with a SIG-Sauer P226. Another one of D'Amico's men and Hit-Girl (Chloë Grace Moretz) also use a two-tone SIG-Sauer P226.
Hit-Girl uses a SIG-Sauer P232 during the shootout at D'Amico's apartment. She reloads the P232 by dumping the magazine with only one hand, which is impossible because the magazine release is located at the heel of the grip.
Damon Macready aka "Big Daddy" (Nicolas Cage) seizes a Mossberg 500 shotgun with an extended magazine tube from one of Frank D'Amico's men and uses it during the shootout at D'Amico's lumber warehouse.
A heavily-modified Armsel Protecta is used by one of the mobsters shooting at Hit-Girl during the final shootout. It differs from most examples of the weapon due to having a muzzle brake, an M1913 rail over the drum and the back half of the weapon modified to take an M4-style stock.
A Heckler & Koch MP5K is used by one of Frank D'Amico's men shooting at Hit-Girl during the execution rescue scene. Hit-Girl is also seen loading and pointing one, with a 15-round magazine, at Kick-Ass in the Macreadys' armory before placing it in her tote bag prior to the assault on D'Amico's penthouse (it's never seen again).
SIG SG 552 rifles with top-rails, scopes, suppressors and B&T Quad Rail handguards are seen among the weapons in the Macreadys' armory. Later, a mobster wildly fires a SG 552 at Hit-Girl when she attacks Frank D'Amico's apartment.
Dave Lizewski aka "Kick-Ass" (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) uses two rotary multi-barreled guns which are basically tiny GE M134 Miniguns, mounted on a jetpack, during the final shootout. These are custom built props utilizing special effects to enable the gunfire and flashes in the film.
A mockup of a Mk 153 SMAW, referred to throughout the film as a "bazooka", is used by Huge Goon (Stu "Large" Riley) during the final shootout. The trigger/firing mechanism looks like the frame of an H&K Mk 23 pistol mated to the lower receiver of an H&K MP5 submachine gun. Many other details differ from the real weapon upon close inspection.
M67 hand grenades are seen attached to Damon Macready's (aka "Big Daddy") costume.

Note that his grenades are closer to the Japanese model 'apple shape' of the M67 than the real M67 (which is rounder).
Other guns in the armory
During Sergeant Marcus Williams' (Omari Hardwick) visit to the safehouse various guns can be seen, among them: a couple of G36Cs with Aimpoint sights, a G36E equipped with an AG36 grenade launcher, an M14 with a bipod, a scoped Remington M700, an H&K PSG-1 (rumored to be the one used by Big Daddy to kill Rasul's doorguard), three M16s, one of them equipped with an M203 grenade launcher, a couple of Mini Uzis, an HK91A2 with a scope, an H&K SL8, a Blaser 93, a SIG SG 552 Commando with an ACOG sight and suppressor, and an AR-15 with a hunting scope and suppressor.
