The following guns were used in this feature length anime movie.
CZN-M22
Motoko Kusanagi carries a fictional Crvena Zastava Nosle M22 rifle/submachinegun (chambering the intermediate 5.7x28mm SS190 round, making its labelling difficult) which is conceptually based on the FN P90. The case in which she carries the weapon contains accessories including a silencer, a bayonet, a sling and an underbarrel grenade launcher.
[panzer] The lower part of the gun looks pretty much like FN2000. That piece's kit really includes a sling, a bayonet, a silencer (quite useless for 5.56mm shots) and 40mm granade launcher which replaces the fore-grip. The top however refers to P90, no doubt.
CZ 100
She and the other members of Section Nine carry CZ 100 handguns. However, this is only loosely based on the real CZ 100, as the sides of the slide are clearly depicted as vertical, while the real gun's slide has slanted sides. She also refers to it as a Zastava, conflating the CZ acronym of the former Yugoslavian gunmaking firm Crvena Zastava with the CZ of the real gun's manufacturer, Ceska Zbrojovka Uhersky Brod.
Mateba Revolver
In Ghost in the Shell, Togusa carries a fictional Mateba 2008M, which closely imitates the Italian-made Mateba Autorevolver. Its form resembles a conventional revolver cylinder and barrel mounted on the mechanism and grip upside-down, firing from the bottom chamber and reloading by hinging the cylinder upward and to the left. It should be noted that the film's subtitles incorrectly translate Mateba as Matever.
Jericho 941
Batou carries a Jericho 941, although it is identified as a 'Jericho 942' and is supposedly chambered in .50AE. [panzer] A typical mismatch of 'Baby Eagle' (as it is known in US) and the Desert Eagle also made by IMI.
[M4K0] One thing to note is that this movie is set in the future, and considering that 1) the writer knew his weapons and 2) it's labled as the 942 and not 941, it would make sense that it'd be in .50AE. Especially when you consider that Batou likes his guns big and that he's fighting cyborgs. 9mm isn't going to do anything to someone who can turn off their pain receptors and has a metal leg.
Micro-Uzi
The hacker uses a Chinese copy (note the non-standard stock bracket and MAC-10-style front grip strap) of a Micro-Uzi loaded with "high-velocity ammunition" to destroy an armoured van.
Steyr TMP
The police officers that enter the diplomat's apartment in the first film's opening are wielding Steyr TMPs. The bodyguards who fire at them are armed with modified TMPs without front grips (or Steyr SPPs modified for fully automatic fire) attached to briefcase frames that drop clear at the press of a button.
