(→Webley Mark VI: No, I'm not planning on using all of these on the final page (especially since I've got another shot or two from the next arc to add) - once I've got everything down, I'll cut out some redundant shots.)

[[File:HXH11Webley18.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Pakunoda fires; while blurry, it appears that the projectile shown here is the entire loaded cartridge, rather than just a bullet. To be fair, it is made of Nen (i.e. literal magic, hence the purple muzzle flash), so it doesn't necessarily work like a conventional round. Now might also be a good time to point out that the revolver itself is presumably also conjured from Nen, unless the viewer is meant to believe that Pakunoda can somehow hide a full-size service revolver in that outfit.]]

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.
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").
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").
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.
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
Starting in Episode 51, Mafia guards make frequent use of M1A1 Thompson submachine guns.
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.
Colt M16A1
Some of the Mafia guards also use M16 variants, seemingly Colt M16A1s.
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 in Episode 51 use Norinco Type 56s, both fixed-stock models and under-folding Type 56-1s.
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.
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
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.
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.
