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.
In the movie, Borat Sadgyev is an respected and famous Kazakh journalist, which is sent to America to make a documentary about the country. However after seeing an episode of "Baywatch" on TV, he becomes infatuated with actress Pamela Anderson and begins a cross country road trip in order to meet and eventually marry her.
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 weapons were used in the film Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan:
Revolvers
Colt 1860 Army
Borat is seen charging with a Colt 1860 Army in a deleted scene where he takes part in a Civil War reenactment.
Colt 1860 Army - .44 caliber.
It's not very clear, but the gap in front of the cylinder along with the open top frame is a giveaway.
Pistols
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.)

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.
