[[Image:06 m4 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Manami has a number of Colt Model 723s in her virtual armoury in episode 6. Note the presence of forward assist and shell deflector, meaning that this is not a Model 653 as previously suggested.]]

[[Image:02 m16 4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Manami readies her M16A1 rifle (Note the A1 shape forward assist). Manami remarks when asked if she can use it that it is the same as an [[M16A1#MGC_M-16_Model_Gun_Corp_Replica_Rifle|MGC]]. This raises the possibility that all of the weapons in her collection in episode 1 are replicas/airsoft.]]
[[Image:06 m16 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|M16A1s are present in Manami's virtual armoury in episode 6. Although they are fitted with A2 handguards, they have A1 style carry handles and lack brass deflectors. Also, the centre M16 is fitted with an [[M203]] grenade launcher.]]

[[Image:03 druganov 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Aoi carries her Dragunov in a guitar case. Note that the blue sparkle is the after effect of Aoi "apporting" away a [[Browning Hi-Power]] and [[Beretta 93R]] that were previously in the case.]]

[[Image:06_psg1_1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Manami has a pair of PSG-1s in her virtual armoury in episode 6. They appear to be fitted with wooden hand and cheek rests. Oddly however, the pistol grip (the one piece of the rifle that is actually wood) is plastic.]]
=== G3SG/1 ===
Manami has a pair of [[Heckler_%26_Koch_G3#Heckler_.26_Koch_G3SG.2F1|Heckler & Koch G3SG/1s]] in her virtual armoury in episode 6.

===SVD Dragunov ===
A pair of human assassins hired by the Dogisian Jens use an [[SVD Dragunov]] in episode 8.
[[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov sniper rifle - 7.62x54mm R]]

[[Image:M82a1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Barrett M82A1 - .50 BMG]]
[[Image:10 m82 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The M82A1 falling to Aoi's hand after she "apports" it to her in episode 10. In this shot, as the gun falls it can briefly be seen that the sight rail and scope have been omitted from the drawing.]]
[[Image:10 m82 2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Aoi takes up positing behind her M82. In this shot the rifle has a full length rail on the upper receiver, indicating it is an M107.]]
[[Image:10 m82 3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|In the following shot however, the rifle is clearly an M82A1, lacking the full length rail.]]
[[File:12 m82 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Sara aims an M107 in episode 12, with her Assist-a-roid acting as her spotter. Note that it is not an error that she is right handed and aiming with her left eye, but a necessity due to the fact that she has a patch over her right eye.]]
[[File:12 m82 2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Note the extremely large horizontal muzzle flash that is created by the muzzle brake of the M107.]]
[[File:12 m82 3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A side view of the rifle showing how it is mounted in a human built Assist-a-roid. Note that in this shot the rifle has lost the full length top rail, appearing as an M82A1.]]

[[Image:Minigun 2.JPG|thumb|none|400px|'''Airsoft''' handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day]]''.

The "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult use [[MG3]]s mounted on motorcycle side cars in episode 7.
[[Image:MG 3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MG3 Machine Gun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:07 mg3 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|This weapon can be identified as an MG3 rather than an MG42 by the design of the muzzle. Also, the sight mounted on top is the removable anti aircraft sight for an MG3.]]
[[Image:07 mg3 2.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A front view of the weapon showing that it is red from a 50 round circular drum.]]
===MG34===
An [[MG34]] can briefly be seen in episode 11, mounted as the forward machine gun on a Tiger I tank.

===DefTech 37mm Launcher===
On of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members uses a [[DefTech 37mm launcher]] in episode 4. It is used to fire non-lethal rounds at Aoi, and appears to be of the folding stock variety with the stock removed. It is not a [[Milkor MGL]] as previously suggested, due to the length of the chambers, the design of the trigger guard and lower frame, and the absence of the release lever on the front of the chambers.
[[Image:Federallabs37.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Defense Technologies/Federal Laboratories launcher 37mm with folding stock]]
[[Image:04 deftech 1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|One of the cult members prepares to fire her Deftech at Aoi. It appears that this launcher is fitted with a different forward grip, similar to the one found on a Milkor MGL.]]

[[Image:04 deftech 3.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The whole of the launcher can only be briefly seen when the train is escaping. Note that from the length of the chambers, this cannot be a Milkor MGL.]]
==Heavy Weapons==

[[Image:01 vulcan 01.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Although never clearly shown, this multi barreled weapon in most likely supposed to be a JM61 (Japanese version of the M61) which is used in a turreted mounting resembling this by the JMSDF. Also, in dialogue it is referred to as a 20mm by the crew.]]

===AGM-114 Hellfire===
In episode 5 a Blackhawk helicopter fires a pair of AGM-114 Hellfires, that has been modified by the Catians to be cloaked in flight.
[[Image:05 hellfire 1.jpg|thumb|500px|none|The Blackhawk in question is armed with 8 modified Hellfires in two quad launchers. The missiles have been cosmetically changed by colouring them red.]]
[[[[File:12 apache 2.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Hellfires are also seen in episode 12, being fired from NATO AH64D Apache Longbows. Note that there is a drawing mistake in this shot, where the Hellfires mounted under the right wing are partly obscured by the fuselage as if they were mounted underneath the helicopter fuselage itself.]]
===Unknown Mortar===
An unidentified mortar can be seen in the gun dealer's in episode 5.

Another view of a PSG-1 in the gun dealer's. When the camera pans however (as shown in the right half of the frame) the middle of the weapon is briefly exposed from behind the mortar to show that the weapon is drawn without a pistol grip or magazine.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Manami has a pair of PSG-1s in her virtual armoury in episode 6. They appear to be fitted with wooden hand and cheek rests. Oddly however, the pistol grip (the one piece of the rifle that is actually wood) is plastic.

Note the extremely large horizontal muzzle flash that is created by the muzzle brake of the M107.

DefTech 37mm Launcher

On of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members uses a DefTech 37mm launcher in episode 4. It is used to fire non-lethal rounds at Aoi, and appears to be of the folding stock variety with the stock removed. It is not a Milkor MGL as previously suggested, due to the length of the chambers, the design of the trigger guard and lower frame, and the absence of the release lever on the front of the chambers.

AGM-114 Hellfire

In episode 5 a Blackhawk helicopter fires a pair of AGM-114 Hellfires, that has been modified by the Catians to be cloaked in flight.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
The Blackhawk in question is armed with 8 modified Hellfires in two quad launchers. The missiles have been cosmetically changed by colouring them red.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Hellfires are also seen in episode 12, being fired from NATO AH64D Apache Longbows. Note that there is a drawing mistake in this shot, where the Hellfires mounted under the right wing are partly obscured by the fuselage as if they were mounted underneath the helicopter fuselage itself.

Unknown Mortar

An unidentified mortar can be seen in the gun dealer's in episode 5.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
It is likely that this mortar is a complete fabrication, as the bipod appears too light for a real mortar.

Otobreda 76mm

The "Underside of the Kitten Paw" ship in episode 5 is armed with a number of 76mm Otobreda guns, in turreted mounts.
