(→Norinco Type 56: I should probably actually read the manga. Would let me point out interesting stuff like that, if nothing else. And hey, it's apparently finally coming out of hiatus, so there's hardly been a better time for it.)
(Alright, that's the last of it. Time to make an actual page out of this nonsense, I guess.)

==Colt M1911A1==
What appears to be a [[Colt M1911A1]] is (briefly) used by a Mafia member in Episode 44 ("Buildup X To A X Fierce Battle"); more are used by Mafia members in Episode 51 ("A X Brutal X Battlefield") and 52, with Pakunoda also using one in the former episode.
What appears to be a [[Colt M1911A1]] is (briefly) used by a Mafia member in Episode 44 ("Buildup X To A X Fierce Battle"); more are used by Mafia members in Episode 51 ("A X Brutal X Battlefield") and 52, with Pakunoda also using one in the former episode. The M1911A1 is also the standard-issue sidearm of the Pata City police officers seen in Episode 93 ("Date X With X Palm").

Various patrons of the Hunter-exclusive information website carry holstered revolvers (in keeping with the site's Wild West theme); these are never unholstered, and thus difficult to give a specific ID.
Various patrons of the Hunter-exclusive information website carry holstered revolvers (in keeping with the site's Wild West theme); these are never unholstered, and thus difficult to give a specific ID. Another unknown revolver is seen in the montage sequence in Episode 134 ("The Word X Is X That Person"), with this one having a vaguely [[Webley]]-like appearance. (I think this one might be just good enough for a separate entry, but I'll decide later.)

Some of the Mafia guards also use [[M16]] variants, seemingly [[Colt M16A1]]s. The M16A1 also appears to be the standard-issue rifle of the Republic of East Gorteau; this is rather ironic, as the REG is a thinly-veiled parody of North Korea, while the M16A1 was, for a time, the standard rifle of the South Korean military.

==Generic Weapons==
==Brovada's Claws==
Several background characters (Mafia members in particular) are seen with generic firearms, often too low in detail to make a confident ID possible.
Brovada, a Chimera Ant (also often referred to as "Bloster"), has a pair of 3-barreled machine guns (or possibly autocannons, given the caliber) concealed within his claws; as with many body-integrated weapons in ''HXH'', these are Nen-based, rather than any sort of mechanical system. They are shown as being quite powerful, capable of demolishing most of a truck's cab with a single burst, and ripping fist-sized holes through an ostensibly reinforced pair of elevator doors; oddly, in spite of this, they completely fail to even scratch the M113 APC Ikalgo uses against him, despite the M113's armor being relatively thin aluminum only rated to stop 7.62mm rifle ammunition.
[[File:HXH11AR1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Two Mafia members in the background holding assault rifles vaguely reminiscent of the [[Beretta AR-70/90]]; given the similar(ly odd) folding stock design, the man in the foreground appears to have a similar rifle as well.]]

[[File:HXH11Claw3.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|For reference, this is what Brovada and his guns look like normally, as seen in Episode 118 ("A X False X Rage").]]
[[File:HXH11SG2.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|More Mafia men, with one holding another generic shotgun; given the grip angle, this one appears to have a sawn-down stock, rather than a proper pistol grip.]]

[[File:HXH11Claw5.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Seeing Ikalgo's attempted trap (in the form of armored bulkhead doors, whose resistance to Brovada's bullets makes a bit more sense given their sheer thickness), Brovada demonstrates the secondary feature of his claw-guns:]]

[[File:HXH11M1137.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Speaking of bullets, here are some of Brovada's utterly failing to damage Ikalgo's M113 in the subsequent episode ("Strong X Or X Weak"); apparently, East Gorteau's APCs are simply built different.]]
[[File:HXH11Claw7.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Having successfully stopped the APC (by shooting out its front-left drive sprocket, which doesn't stop it from going forward and right to block his exit), Brovada holds his guns ready; here, each claw seems to have 4 barrels instead of the usual 3.]]
[[File:HXH11Claw8.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|In the subsequent shot, as he inspects the now-burning APC, the guns are back to 3 barrels, though they still look rather different than the ones in the third shot. Brovada, meanwhile, is somehow closing his pupils.]]
==Feitan's Umbrella==
Feitan Portor's main weapon is a spike-ended umbrella; aside from concealing a sword, this incorporates a system (seemingly either compressed air or a powder charge) for launching the large spike on the end like a bullet. The weapon itself is only seen in Episodes 96 ("A X Lawless X Home") and 97 ("Carnage X And X Destruction"), with the spike launcher only being used in the latter.

[[File:HXH11Umbrella2.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Feitan presses the weapon's button-type trigger; it doesn't seem to have a safety of any sort, presumably relying on Feitan's own proficiency to avoid accidental firing.]]

[[File:HXH11AR3.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|A group of skulls and rifles seen in Episode 134's montage sequence; these are mostly a mix of the series' standard Type 56s and some nondescript rifles vaguely similar to the ones used by the Mafia.]]

==Ikalgo's Rifle==
Ikalgo, another Chimera Ant, has the ability to turn his tentacles into an air rifle; first seen in Episode 100 ("Tracking X And X Pursuit"), he uses this as part of a Nen ability called "Fleadom", which allows him to fire giant, anticoagulant-secreting fleas at targets several hundred meters away. Upon being isolated from his puppet, Ikalgo's rifle takes on a noticeably different design, with a smaller receiver and shorter barrel; it also apparently gains the ability to fire ordinary-looking (though still organic and air-propelled) centerfire rounds, loaded through a port on top of the receiver. (NOTE: It's definitely based on something real - especially the muzzle brake, it's too specific to not be - but I can't figure out what, so suggestions would be appreciated.)
[[File:HXH11Flea1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Ikalgo's first "appearance", sniping at Killua with his air rifle.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea2.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|A close-up, showing the air lines connected into the presumably flesh-based "receiver".]]
[[File:HXH11Flea3.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Another close-up shot, this one of the muzzle; the unusual-looking barrel contrasts with the relatively normal-looking flash hider.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea4.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|The front end of the rifle; note the rather boxy shape of the receiver, which is only really visible in this shot. Note also that the weapon lacks sights of any sort; Flutter is shown telepathically giving Ikalgo grid coordinates to shoot for, but it's not entirely clear how he's actually supposed to be aiming for them.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea5.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|A view from under the muzzle brake, showing what appears to be a seam; on a real weapon component, this would imply that the piece was made as a flat stamping, then bent into shape and welded at the bottom, though here it probably means that a single piece of tentacle wrapped around and adhered to itself instead.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea6.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Ikalgo prepares to take his shot; the massive ball behind him is the rifle's air reservoir, which is apparently filled simply by breathing in.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea7.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|He then fires; despite ostensibly being an air rifle, it still produces a rather considerable muzzle flash.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea8.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|This may have something to do with its "ammunition"; these fleas' flat, silver-colored rear end presumably functions as a gas seal ring in the barrel, though given the flash it could also contain some sort of chemical propellant to aid in propulsion - or, given its odd aiming method, possibly even in-flight guidance. As a note of trivia, these fleas can apparently (somehow) jump 200 meters in the air; this may also be connected to their propulsion in some way. Precisely where he gets these fleas, or whether they existed before he came up with Fleadom, is never addressed.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea9.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Fresh fleas are loaded into a port on the left side of the receiver (there's a new sentence). While the position of the wielder's right hand would suggest that the rifle is a bullpup design, there's no trigger on the forward section, or anywhere on the outside of the rifle, for that matter; instead, the "trigger" is presumably a nerve signal, which means that whether or not it technically qualifies as a bullpup depends on the position of the wielder's head.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea10.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|"Ikalgo" stands up and admires his handiwork; the rifle now appears a fair bit less boxy, and smaller in general, though whether this is a consequence of it being alive or simply a continuity error is hard to say.]]

[[File:HXH11Flea12.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the rifle's muzzle, shortly after Ikalgo's discovery of what Killua thinks of his trap.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea13.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Finding himself in a predicament, Ikalgo (no longer hiding in someone's corpse) takes advantage of the rifle's other function: by dry-firing the rifle, he can propel himself backwards with a jet of compressed air. Note how the rifle is now substantially smaller, presumably to make it less disproportionate to the rest of his body.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea14.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|This ultimately proves to be of little help.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea15.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Having hacked off the end of the rifle's barrel (with a blunt, squishy octopus tentacle, no less), leaves the rest hanging at his side.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea16.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Later on, in Episode 119 ("Strong X Or X Weak"), the formation process of Ikalgo's rifle is shown; he winds his two tentacles together, and (using Nen, as indicated by the white aura around them) fuses them into the rifle's barrel.]]

[[File:HXH11Flea19.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|He then forms the end of another tentacle into a round of ammunition; this resembles an intermediate rifle cartridge, such as 7.62x39mm (though without that round's tapered case).]]
[[File:HXH11Flea20.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Oddly, this doesn't seem to actually take any matter out of the tentacle he forms it from, despite him visibly yanking the round off; Nen can be used to excuse a variety of rather nonsensical things.]]
[[File:HXH11Flea21.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Ikalgo runs, giving a good view of the point where the receiver meets his tentacle; the presumably-now-metallic material of the rifle seemingly just sort of blends into his flesh.]]

==Unknown SPG==
Being modeled off of North Korea, the military of East Gorteau seemingly places a large emphasis on the use of self-propelled guns; the exact model is unclear, though they bear some resemblance to various SPGs operated by the actual North Korean army.
[[File:HXH11SPG1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Several soldiers stand on an SPG as "Ming Jol-Ik" declares martial law. A large, cumbersome, open-topped vehicle with only a fixed forward-firing cannon for armament seems like a somewhat impractical choice for enforcing martial law, but it certainly makes for an imposing image. Which is a substantial part of the point, really.]]
[[File:HXH11SPG2.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the scene; East Gorteau seemingly makes no distinction in terms of uniforms and equipment between ordinary infantrymen and artillery crewmen. Notably, neither have any apparent webgear, pouches, or any other means of carrying important equipment - like, say, spare magazines for their rifles.]]
[[File:HXH11SPG3.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|3 SPGs driving in formation; the crewman visible to the left of the gun is presumably either the loader, given that the previous shot shows a loading tray on the (camera) left side of the gun. Note that there are no obvious vision devices for the commander or gunner anywhere on the vehicle; this would make actually hitting anything rather difficult. The driver doesn't have any either, and apparently has to see through a hole in the front of the vehicle; this would render him vulnerable to debris, artillery shrapnel, and/or opportunistic snipers.]]
[[File:HXH11SPG4.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|A pair of SPGs lying in a town square, following Killua's attack; the one in the center is apparently the same one seen in the previous sequence, unless East Gorteau has more than one gun #156.]]

[[File:HXH11SPG6.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|An SPG leading a group of civilians to the selection; the crewman on top is another Nen puppet, though the strings aren't always drawn (presumably to reflect how most people can't see Nen).]]
[[File:HXH11SPG7.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of this situation, from later in the day; this vehicle has (much like the men stood atop it) no obvious place to store ammunition.]]
[[File:HXH11SPG8.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|"Flutter" observes the fleet of SPGs in the palace's underground motor pool; even for a psychotic tin-pot dictator, this seems like a somewhat excessive number of self-propelled artillery platforms to keep in your basement.]]
[File:HXH2011Cover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Hunter X Hunter (October 2, 2011 - September 24, 2014)]]
Hunter X Hunter (pronounced "Hunter Hunter", without the "X") is a 2011 anime series produced by Madhouse, based on Yoshihiro Togashi's famous manga series of the same name. Set in a fictional world (whose map looks conspicuously like the real world's rearranged), the story centers around Gon Freeccss, a 12-year-old boy who seeks to join the exclusive, prestigious Hunter Association (a group composed of exceptionally capable individuals in a variety of fields, ranging from exploration to bounty hunting to cooking), in an effort to find his absent father, a noted member of the group. Soon after he begins, he is joined by 3 other aspiring hunters - Killua Zoldyck (another 12-year-old boy, and also an accomplished hitman-for-hire), Kurapika Kurta (a 17-year-old seeking to avenge the murder of his family), and Leorio Paradinight (a 19-year-old who primarily wants access to the organization's funding, so he can go to medical school).
The following weapons were used in the anime series Hunter X Hunter (2011):
A Mafia member in Episode 52 ("Assault X And X Impact") uses what appears to be an AMT Hardballer II.
Beretta 92FS Inox
A Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy") is briefly seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox.
Colt Defender
Another Mafia member in Episode 43 is seen with a Colt Defender; yet another Mafia member uses one against Uvogin in Episode 44 ("Buildup x To A x Fierce Battle").
Colt M1911
At least one of the Mafia members is seen with an original Colt M1911 in Episode 52.
Colt M1911A1
What appears to be a Colt M1911A1 is (briefly) used by a Mafia member in Episode 44 ("Buildup X To A X Fierce Battle"); more are used by Mafia members in Episode 51 ("A X Brutal X Battlefield") and 52, with Pakunoda also using one in the former episode. The M1911A1 is also the standard-issue sidearm of the Pata City police officers seen in Episode 93 ("Date X With X Palm").
IMI Desert Eagle
Pakunoda briefly uses an IMI Desert Eagle in Episode 51. A guard in Episode 52 uses one in a continuity error, and Zenji also uses one in Episode 53 ("Fake X And X Psyche"). Some were also apparently owned by members of Gyro's drug cartel (though no living member is seen with one); at least two are collected and used by a Chimera Ant in Episode 80 ("Evil X And X Terrible").
Smith & Wesson Model 36
What appear to be Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers (or possibly another similar S&W model) are used by the police officers that attempt to arrest Basho in Episode 39 ("Wish x And x Promise").
Smith & Wesson Model 66
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 (or, again, another similar model) is briefly seen in the hands of a Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy").
Stechkin APS
Kite's Nen ability, Crazy Slots, can produce several different weapons seemingly at random; of these, the fourth is a Stechkin APS fitted with an odd muzzle device and an absurdly long stock. This is the first of said weapons shown, appearing in Episode 76 ("Reunion X And X Understanding").
Steyr GB
What appear to be Steyr GB pistols are used by some of the Eleven Black Children, Shachmono Tocino's Nen-based soldiers; they are only used during the Children's first (i.e. planned) appearance, presumably because their armaments are separate from them, and thus need to be handed out to them in advance.
Walther PPK
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with a stainless Walther PPK.
Webley Mark VI
A nickel-plated Webley Mark VI is Pakunoda's signature weapon, seen first during the 2nd OP sequence, "Departure! -second version-". For all its association with the character, she only actually uses it twice; rather than conventional ammunition, it is used exclusively to fire Nen-based "Memory Bomb" rounds, which contain a fixed set of information that is instantly conveyed to anyone shot in the head with them.
Unknown Revolver
Various patrons of the Hunter-exclusive information website carry holstered revolvers (in keeping with the site's Wild West theme); these are never unholstered, and thus difficult to give a specific ID. Another unknown revolver is seen in the montage sequence in Episode 134 ("The Word X Is X That Person"), with this one having a vaguely Webley-like appearance. (I think this one might be just good enough for a separate entry, but I'll decide later.)
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
Starting in Episode 51, Mafia guards make frequent use of M1A1 Thompson submachine guns.
MAC-11
Koala, a Chimera Ant, is briefly seen handling a MAC-11 taken from a dead cartel member in Episode 79 ("No X Good X NGL").
Rifles
AK-74
While most of the AK variants used by Mafia guards in Episode 51 are Norinco Type 56s (described below), at least a few appear to be AK-74s without muzzle brakes. Pakunoda also briefly uses one in Episode 52, and some are used by Mafia guards outside the Ten Dons' meeting house in Episode 53 ("Fake X And X Psyche"). At least a few of the cartel members (first seen in Episode 78, "Very X Rapid X Reproduction") also appear to have AK-74s instead of Type 56s.
Colt M16A1
Some of the Mafia guards also use M16 variants, seemingly Colt M16A1s. The M16A1 also appears to be the standard-issue rifle of the Republic of East Gorteau; this is rather ironic, as the REG is a thinly-veiled parody of North Korea, while the M16A1 was, for a time, the standard rifle of the South Korean military.
M4A1 Carbine
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with what appears to be an M4A1 Carbine (or a similar AR variant).
Norinco Type 56
A substantial chunk of the Mafia guards from Episode 51 forwards use Norinco Type 56s, both fixed-stock models and under-folding Type 56-1s. Drug cartel members also use them starting in Episode 78; again, both fixed and folding stocks are seen, though the latter are of a different design. Despite their varied features, all the show's Type 56s consistently use early-style "slab-side" magazines, possibly because they're simpler to draw.
Remington Model 700PSS
A Mafia sniper in Episode 44 is seen with what appears to be a Remington Model 700PSS; like most of the weapons used by the Mafia in this episode, it is used briefly, and to little effect.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
The aptly-named character Siper uses a somewhat nondescript sniper rifle; based on its design, it is presumably semi-automatic, though it can't be said for sure since, despite practically never being seen without it, Siper never actually fires the rifle on-screen.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
Some of the Mafia guards in Episode 51 use Ithaca 37 shotguns.
Machine Guns
Browning M2 Aircraft
The montage sequence at the beginning of Episode 134 opens with a shot of a bombing run; while the airships involved are (by nature) fictional, they feature B17-esque ball turrets containing what are presumably meant to be Browning M2 Aircraft heavy machine guns.
Launchers
M20 "Super Bazooka"
One of the numerous Mafia men in Episode 44 uses an M20 "Super Bazooka" against Uvogin; notably, it is actually referred to by name (or rather, by nickname) by its user. Precisely why the Mafia thought such a weapon was necessary to bring along to what they believed would be a fight against ordinary human beings isn't ever elaborated upon; regardless, the fact that such a weapon would normally be overkill winds up being a bit of a moot point.
Other
Brovada's Claws
Brovada, a Chimera Ant (also often referred to as "Bloster"), has a pair of 3-barreled machine guns (or possibly autocannons, given the caliber) concealed within his claws; as with many body-integrated weapons in HXH, these are Nen-based, rather than any sort of mechanical system. They are shown as being quite powerful, capable of demolishing most of a truck's cab with a single burst, and ripping fist-sized holes through an ostensibly reinforced pair of elevator doors; oddly, in spite of this, they completely fail to even scratch the M113 APC Ikalgo uses against him, despite the M113's armor being relatively thin aluminum only rated to stop 7.62mm rifle ammunition.
Feitan's Umbrella
Feitan Portor's main weapon is a spike-ended umbrella; aside from concealing a sword, this incorporates a system (seemingly either compressed air or a powder charge) for launching the large spike on the end like a bullet. The weapon itself is only seen in Episodes 96 ("A X Lawless X Home") and 97 ("Carnage X And X Destruction"), with the spike launcher only being used in the latter.
Franklin's Hands
Franklin Bordeau's Nen ability is his "Double Machine Gun", a set of 10 submachine guns mounted in his fingers; being Nen-based, they fire Nen bullets, and thus don't have any obvious operating mechanism.
Generic Weapons
Several background characters (Mafia members in particular) are seen with generic firearms, often too low in detail to make a confident ID possible.
Ikalgo's Rifle
Ikalgo, another Chimera Ant, has the ability to turn his tentacles into an air rifle; first seen in Episode 100 ("Tracking X And X Pursuit"), he uses this as part of a Nen ability called "Fleadom", which allows him to fire giant, anticoagulant-secreting fleas at targets several hundred meters away. Upon being isolated from his puppet, Ikalgo's rifle takes on a noticeably different design, with a smaller receiver and shorter barrel; it also apparently gains the ability to fire ordinary-looking (though still organic and air-propelled) centerfire rounds, loaded through a port on top of the receiver. (NOTE: It's definitely based on something real - especially the muzzle brake, it's too specific to not be - but I can't figure out what, so suggestions would be appreciated.)
Unknown SPG
Being modeled off of North Korea, the military of East Gorteau seemingly places a large emphasis on the use of self-propelled guns; the exact model is unclear, though they bear some resemblance to various SPGs operated by the actual North Korean army.
