 === Smith & Wesson Model 37 ===
+Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto find two [[Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight|Smith & Wesson Model 37]]s on a pair of dead police officers, though one has its handle broken (the broken one is not seen on screen). Takashi comments on the gun having only five shots as most revolvers have six, and while inexperienced with firearms, knows to keep his finger off the trigger when not intending to shoot. Takashi later hands the revolver to Kohta Hirano due to the latter's expertise with firearms. Several police officers are seen firing their M37s at zombies trying to breach their roadblocks and a senior officer uses his to execute an anarchist inciting a unruly mob on live television. The author commented on how the [[Nambu Model 60]] was no longer the official sidearm for all Japanese police officers and therefore chose the Smith & Wesson to show the unique choice of weapon for each department. This is correct since the NPA imported Model 37s from America to outfit officers who are going to be armed with revolvers.

Takashi later hands the revolver to Kohta to compensate for his physical weakness. Several police officers are seen firing their M37s at zombies trying to breach their roadblocks and a senior officer executes a anarchist inciting a unruly mob on live television before the officer later commits suicide with his sidearm near other officers.

+In Episode 8; "The Dead Way Home", a Secret Service agent uses [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226 |SIG P226Rs]] to gun down zombies trying to reach the wounded President and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs alongside a few remaining staff members on board Air Force One. Another staff member armed with a P226R uses it to shoot the wounded Chairman in the head upon the latter's request after he shows signs of zombification. Rika Minami uses a P226R fitted with a scope mount, small red dot sight, and flashlight as her sidearm, however because the battle at the offshore airport didn't happen on-screen in the anime, it's only seen in the opening sequence and in her leg holster.

-A ultra-nationalist is seen firing a [[M1911A1]] at the approaching zombie hoard.
+Two Right Wing members (or Nationalists) are seen firing a [[M1911A1]]s at the approaching zombie horde during the final battle at the Takagi estate with the zombies. Saya's mother, Yuriko, used one during a training course years ago when she worked on Wall Street, before she met Saya's father, Souichiro.

+== Shotguns ==
+=== Ithaca M37 ===
+An [[Ithaca 37]] is found in Rika's household, in a firearms locker which Takashi and Kohta break into. Kohta initially uses it before handing it to Takashi, who uses it as his main weapon for the rest of the show. Kohta instructs Takashi on how to slamfire the M37 (holding the trigger down and pumping the shotgun, causing it to fire as soon as it's back in battery) when the group is cornered at the wire blockade, and Saya uses the dropped M37 later in the same scene. Takashi later uses it a melee weapon after running away from the wire blockade. The M37 is fitted with a rail and Aimpoint CompM2, which is later disabled by the EMP due to it being powered by a 3-Volt Lithium Battery. A couple Nationalists at the Takagi estate are seen using standard M37s.

+A [[M14 Rifle#Super Match M1A|Springfield Super Match M1A]] is found in Rika's household, and is used by Rei as her main weapon. It has an OD stock and is fitted with a standard M14 flash hider (which has a bayonet mount), M14 DMR cheek riser, KAC rail system, custom-fitted lower rail, KAC QD sling mount, Surefire M900V foregrip/light combo, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight with a killflash, its magazines are fitted with Magpuls, and the rifle is later fitted with an M6 bayonet to complement Rei's fighting style. As with the CompM2 on the M37, this one is also later disabled by the EMP. In episode 7, Takashi handles the rifle to shoot at zombies about to eat Rei. Kohta, like in the manga, incorrectly calls it an M1A1 with the extra number 1.

-[[Image:Hotd12vz611.JPG|thumb|none|500px|]]
+An [[Armalite AR-10#Armalite AR-10 A4|Armalite AR-10(T)]] modified to resemble a [[Knight's Armament SR-25]] is found in Rika's household, and due to the aftermarket parts Kohta initially mistakes for the latter rifle. It is fitted with a Knight's Armament rail system and rail covers, Leupold M3A scope with a sunshade, and a bipod; Kohta uses it as his primary weapon. The author comments Rika seduced an American soldier to import the illegal rifle into Japan via the American military air service, avoiding customs. An error in the English dubbing causes Kohta to misidentify it as an "AR-110" instead of an AR-10.

-== Rifles ==
+==Assault Rifles==
-=== Springfield Super Match M1A ===
+=== Howa Type 89 ===
-A [[M14 Rifle#Super Match M1A|Springfield Super Match M1A]] is found in Minami's household with rails attached for a Surefire foregrip and an Aimpoint red dot sight. Rei handles the M1A as her main weapon. In episode 7, Takashi handles the rifle to snipe at zombies about to eat Rei. Hirano, like in the Manga, incorrectly calls it an M1A1 with the extra 1 number. There's an inconsistency with the charging handle. One scene it is shown as an incredibly oversize charging handle that can fit the size of an entire hand and then for the rest of the series, it's in its normal size.
+JGSDF soldiers are seen wielding [[Howa Type 89|Howa Type 89s]] as their service rifle, as well as one being used by Kohta in his imaginary FPS. Rika's personal rifle is a highly customized Type 89 with an entire M4A1 front end, including the barrel, front sight and picatinny rail system, as well as an M4A1 LE stock, and is fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 and Surefire M900 foregrip/light. However, due to the airport battle, where she used this as her primary, not appearing on-screen in the anime, it's only seen in the opening credits.

-A [[Armalite AR-10#Armalite AR-10 A4|Armalite AR-10 A4]] is found in Minami's household that has been converted to a [[Knight's Armament SR-25]]. Kohta uses it as his primary weapon. The author comments Minami seduced an American soldier to import the illegal rifle into Japan via the American military air service avoiding customs.
+Rika uses a [[Heckler & Koch G3#Heckler & Koch PSG-1|Heckler & Koch PSG-1]] fitted with a Harris bipod in her role as a Special Assault Team sniper, clearing an airport of zombies wandering around its runways. Very notable is that she correctly fires the full load of six rounds in this scene; proper magazine capacities are usually the first thing ignored in fiction, however attention to detail in this regard is seen throughout the show.
