i was watching robocop on netflix and got to the scene where robocop is at the range, and all activity ceases, and the focus is on his firearm, 3 or so shot bursts, blowing cutouts to pieces. movie gun, or just a little known pistol?

looking closer, it resembles a beretta
 
Most movie guns are modified real guns. It makes more sense to modify an already working action than to try to create something from scratch, as well as adds a degree of realism and believability. judging by that picture, it's probably a Beretta of some sort.

The main weapon used by RoboCop (Peter Weller) is the "Auto 9". This is a Beretta 93R machine pistol which was heavily modified for the film, featuring a longer barrel with an enormous compensator/flash hider shaped like a casket, plastic grips, and a taller rear sight to match the raised front sight. Typically, RoboCop fires this weapon in 3-round burst mode. The fictional stats of the weapon claim it has an implausibly huge 50-round magazine.
