The following weapons were used in the film God Bless America (2011):

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Handguns

M1911A1

Frank Murdoch (Joel Murray) uses a M1911A1 for part of the film.

World War II issued Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP

Frank (Joel Murray) loads his M1911A1. By the look of the barrel, this appears to be a .22LR model of the M1911 style pistol, like the Colt ACE, or possibly an airsoft copy.

Frank holds reality TV star Chloe at gunpoint. In this shot, the gun appears to be a normal pistol.

Roxy (Tara Lynne Barr) examines Frank's M1911A1.

Frank ready to kill himself.

Auto-Ordnance M1911A1

Frank's M1911A1 switches to an Auto Ordnance M1911A1 for scenes when the gun actually has to fire.

Screen Used Auto-Ordnance M1911A1 - .45 ACP. This is a screen used hero gun held and fired by Joel Murray as Frank.

Instead of blowing up the car, Frank ends up just shooting Chloe after his plans go awry with the Auto-Ordnance. Note the slanted slide serrations.

Frank confronts Chloe's parents with the pistol.

Frank shoots some rude movie patrons with the M1911.

Frank opens fire at some Tea Partiers with the sidearm.

Browning Hi-Power Mk.III

Roxy primarily uses a Browning Hi-Power Mk.III 9mm pistol throughout the film. Frank takes it after he leaves Roxy.

Commercial Browning Hi-Power Mark III - 9x19mm Parabellum

Frank teaches Roxy how to shoot.

Rossi Model 851

Frank fantasizes about killing some coworkers with a Rossi Model 851.

Rossi Model 851 (Stainless Version) - .38 Special

Frank shoots his coworkers.

Taurus PT92AFS

Political pundit Michael Fuller (Regan Burns) draws a Taurus PT92AFS after he's wounded by Frank and Roxy.

Taurus PT92AFS (Stainless) - 9x19mm

Beretta 92FS

LAPD officers and security guards are armed with Beretta 92FS pistols.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm

Rossi Cyclops

One of the guns the gun dealer (played by armorer Mike Tristano) brings is a Rossi Cyclops. It's described as a ".357 Magnum, nickel finish, six shot, 8 inch barrel".

Rossi Cyclops - .357 Magnum

Walther P38

One of the handguns offered to Frank by the illegal gun dealer is a Walther P38 with black bakelite grips.

Walther P-38 pistol with black bakelite grips - 9x19mm parabellum

‎

Desert Eagle Mark VII

One of the handguns offered to Frank by the illegal gun dealer is a Desert Eagle Mark VII.

Desert Eagle MK VII with nickel finish - .44 Magnum

Glock 17

One of the handguns offered to Frank by the illegal gun dealer is a Glock 17.

3rd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm

Smith & Wesson Model 36

One of the handguns offered to Frank by the illegal gun dealer is a Smith & Wesson Model 36 with what appear to be white ivory grips.

Smith & Wesson Model 36 - .38 Special

Shotguns

Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser

Frank fantasizes about killing his obnoxious neighbors with a Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser.

Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser - 12 Gauge

Rifles

Modified MAK-90

The gun dealer sells Frank a Chinese Norinco MAK-90 Kalashnikov variant with a stamped receiver that was apparently converted to fire in fully automatic mode, as the MAK-90 was a semi-automatic civilian sporting rifle. The thumbhole stock was replaced by an aftermarket pistol grip (of the original AK-pattern) and to the rear tang was attached a wooden block (with ring for gun belt). One can still see the 'ground down' bottom of the front sight, which was mandated by ATF when it approved the MAK-90 for import. Frank and Roxy use this during the finale. It is worth noting that, it seems, two different rifles in the same configuration were used, since they are slightly different from each other.

Norinco MAK-90 - 7.62x39mm

For comparision: Norinco Type 56-1 (under-folding stock variant) - 7.62x39mm

MAK-90 in a case with three 30-round magazines.

The gun dealer quotes a great man, "AK-47, when you absolutely, positively have to waste every single muthafucka in the room, accept no substitutes."

This appears to be an another rifle - note that the rear block is a more short black plastic (or has been painted black), and the more scratched foregrip.

Frank shoots one of the "American Superstarz" judges. He holds the rifle in an interesting fashion.

Frank addresses the audience.

Roxy opens up with the MAK-90.
