Ethan assembles the G36. You notice that there are 2 magazines, but Ethan didn't clip them together or even bother to take it with him, so that when he does run out, he could reload.

In Shanghai, Ethan takes a Beretta 92FS from one of Davian's men and then is seen being taken up by Davian himself. Ethan is later seen giving the Beretta to his wife Julia (Michelle Monaghan), showing her how to properly load and handle the gun. IMF Agent Musgrave (Billy Crudup) also holds and fires a Beretta.

Glock 17

The Glock 17 is used by several characters in the film. Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) notably uses the Glock during the chase in Shanghai, where he hangs low to the ground from a car's backseat to shoot out a pursuing car's tires, causing a wreck and terminating the chase. Zhen (Maggie Q) also uses one during the bridge ambush.

Glock Pistol (Modified)

Ethan also uses a Glock pistol modified to fire tranquilizer darts. He first uses it to subdue Davian in the Vatican bathroom and then is seen using it during his infiltration of the military-controlled skyscraper to subdue the roof guards. He quickly loses the gun in order to prevent himself from falling to his death.

Other

Barrett M82

Several Barrett M82 sniper rifles are planted by Ethan in front of the warehouse before the rescue mission. Each rifle is mounted on a remote turret and is fed by two ammo drums (presumably .50BMG). The rate of fire in the movie is most likely a rapid semi-automatic rather than a slow automatic rate of fire. The Barrett rifles are fired remotely by Luther (Ving Rhames).
