Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006)

Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan is a 2006 mockumentary starring Sacha Baron Cohen as the titular character. It is the second of four films to be spun off from Baron Cohen's television series, Da Ali G Show, following Ali G Indahouse and followed by Brüno and Borat Subsequent Moviefilm. Baron Cohen would go on to win the 2007 Golden Globe Award for Best Actor: Musical or Comedy for his role as Borat Sagdiyev, and the film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay, but lost to The Departed.

Despite previous reports that Cohen had retired the Borat character, a sequel, Borat Subsequent Moviefilm: Delivery of Prodigious Bribe to American Regime for Make Benefit Once Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, was released on Amazon Prime on October 23rd, 2020.

The following guns were used in the movie Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan:

IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle Mark VII

Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen) attempts to purchase a gold, tiger-striped Desert Eagle Mark VII ("like 'Dirty Harold!'") but is unable to because he is not a U.S. citizen (nor legal resident, he was purportedly here on a tourist visa), which is why he bought a bear. When Borat asks for a personal defense weapon from the Jews, the gun store manager suggested a 9mm or a .45. However, the Desert Eagle is not chambered in either of those rounds, except using a conversion kit (and, coincidentally, was manufactured in Israel for a while.)

Unknown Glock

A pair of unknown Glock pistol series handguns are seen in Borat's hometown.

Glock 34 (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm

Two long-barreled Glocks are seen in the bucket. The presence of Glocks in "Kazakhstan" could probably be explained with this scene being filmed in Romania.

AIMS

A couple of kindergarten kids in Borat's hometown were seen playing with Romanian AIMS rifles, as well as a few other Non-Soviet-bloc firearms.

AIMS - 7.62x39mm

Kids in Borat's hometown with AIMS rifles. The presence of the AIMS in "Kazakhstan" could probably be explained with this scene being filmed in Romania.

SIG SG 540

What appears to be a SIG SG 540 is seen in Borat's hometown.

SIG SG 540 with folding stock - 5.56x45mm

The SIG SG 540 possibly with a folded stock between the shotgun and the bucket. Its presence in "Kazakhstan" could probably be explained with this scene being filmed in Romania.

Unidentified SIG SG Rifle

What appears to be some kind of a SIG SG rifle is seen in Borat's hometown.
