Cat Planet Cuties is an anime television series based on a series of light novels written by Okina Kamino. Originally released in Japan under the title Asobi_ni_ikuyo! (translated as Let's go play!) with the English title Asobi ni Ikuyo: Bombshells from the Sky, when licensed for US distribution by Funimation it was retitled Cat Planet Cuties.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Cat Planet Cuties:
A Beretta 93R is detailed on a poster in Minami's house. Aoi also takes a Beretta 93R when she goes to live at Kio's place later giving it to Manami who then on uses it as her preferred sidearm. The shape of the compensator holes suggests that a KSC M93R was used for reference when the series was animated.

Although it is possible that this is a different weapon, it is more likely an inconsistency in the artwork.
Beretta Cheetah
Jens carries a Beretta 80 series "Cheetah" in episode 5, which she resorts to after her power suit is disabled. It is unclear exactly which model this is, but it is an older version with the rounded trigger guard rather than the squared one of the FS version.
Kio's Assist-a-roid uses a Nambu Type 14 in episode 10 to help defend the Catian embassy.

Tokarev TT-33
A Tokarev TT-33 can be seen in episode 11, used by a terrorist holding Kio hostage.
Aoi suddenly "apports" a Smith & Wesson Model 500 and aims it at her driver when he makes some snide comment about her relationship with Kio in episode 1. Note Aoi did fire the weapon inside the car. The sound alone would have made both her and the driver deaf.
Jack has a modified revolver that fires tranquillizer rounds, which appears to be based off of a Smith & Wesson Model 629 Performance Centre. It has either a 4 or 5 inch barrel, and is possibly the V-Comp model with out the removable compensator.
Yuichi has a modified Smith & Wesson Model 686 with a 2.5" barrel that fires tranquillizer rounds, which he purposely gives this to Kio during Eris' rescue in episode 2.
Aoi uses a pair of Minebea M-9s fitted with aftermarket drum magazines, during her raid on the terrorist ship, and M-9s are also visible in the background throughout the series.
One of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult members in episode 5 uses a MAC-10 rather than the Brügger & Thomet MP-9 which is used by the majority of the armed cult members.
A number of weapons that most closely resemble Colt Model 723s are seen throughout the series, used by the protagonists and military.

M16A1
M16A1 rifles are seen a number of times throughout the series. Although they are sometimes fitted with A2 handguards, the rear sights indicated these rifles to be A1s.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1s are seen in the background in several episodes, but are never used.

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 missingManami 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.
Manami has a pair of Mosin Nagant M91/30s fitted with PU 3.5x scopes 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.
Barrett M82s are seen in several episodes, used by Aoi and members of the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" cult.

In this shot the rifle has a full length rail on the upper receiver, indicating it is an M107.Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn the following shot however, the rifle is clearly an M82A1, lacking the full length rail.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSara 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.Error creating thumbnail: File missingNote the extremely large horizontal muzzle flash that is created by the muzzle brake of the M107.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA 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.
Machine Guns
Type 11 Light Machine Gun
A Type 11 light machine gun is seen being used by a Japanese soldier on the cover of a DVD belonging to Manami in episode 1.
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.

It appears that this launcher is fitted with a different forward grip, similar to the one found on a Milkor MGL.Error creating thumbnail: File missingIn this shot you can see the bottom of the frame of the gun, which matches that of the Deftech.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe 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
General Electric M61 Vulcan
A 20mm M61 Vulcan can be seen mounted on a JMSDF patrol boat, and as part of a General Dynamics/Raytheon Phalanx Close-In Weapon System on the "Underside of the Kitten Paw" ship.
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 missingThe 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 missingHellfires 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.
In episode 11 a number of Tiger I tanks are seen in storage, armed with 8.8cm KwK 36 L/56 guns. Why these are present at a decommissioned Soviet ballistic missile site is never explained.
