The following weapons appear in the anime Patlabor: The Movie 2:
Howa Type 89
The majority of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) soldiers in the anime are seen armed with Howa Type 89 rifles. During a fake gas attack, one soldier panics and shoots out the window of a building with one trying to escape the approaching cloud.
Howa Type 64
Along with the Howa Type 89 rifles, at least one JGSDF soldier can be seen carrying an older Howa Type 64, which is rather unusual considering the anime came out in the early 1990's when the Type 64 was being phased out and the anime is set in the early 21st century.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
JGSDF tanks can be seen fitted with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns as a secondary armament mounted atop the turret.
SIG-Sauer P210
At one point, Captain Shinobu Nagumo goes to meet with her old friend Yukihito Tsuge whom also happens to be the mastermind behind the chaos gripping Tokyo. As she prepares for the meeting, she takes a SIG-Sauer P210 from the glove compartment of her car and later draws it on him when he flees, but can't bring herself to open fire.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
At one point in the film, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department attempts to disable a large blimp flying over the city that's sending out powerful jamming signals and disrupting all civilian and military communications, tasking a helicopter-borne sniper armed with a Heckler & Koch PSG-1 to shoot out the pod the signal's being sent from. However, the shots cause the blimp (which was being remotely piloted) to crash in the city and release a fake poison gas, causing mass panic.
