New Dominion Tank Police is a 6 part OVA based on the 1985 manga series Dominion: Tank Police written by Masamune Shirow (creator of Ghost in the Shell, Black Magic M-66 and Appleseed).
The following firearms are used in the anime OVA New Dominion Tank Police:
Handguns
Safari Arms M1911
One of the confiscated weapons seen in the first episode is a Safari Arms M1911.
IMI Desert Eagle
Brenten keeps an IMI Desert Eagle hanging above his desk.
"the Castigator"
Brenten uses a custom 8 inch, stainless steel Colt Python revolver known as "The Castigator". It boast a wide range of custom features, including custom frame contours, texturing on the front of the triggerguard, a custom barrel weight and compensator. and a ring hammer. Oddly, the revolver is drawn as being built from a Smith & Wesson Model 66 during the opening credits, as denoted by the S&W-style cylinder release.
SIG P228
Mueller uses a SIG P228 in Act 5.
Claridge Hi-Tec S9
The Puma sisters are briefly seen carrying a pair of matching Claridge Hi-Tec S9 pistols in Act 5, both of which have extended silver barrels.
Colt MK IV Series 80 Combat Elite
One of the embassy bodyguards in Act 6 uses a Colt MK IV Series 80 Combat Elite.
Unidentified Handguns
The criminal in the first episode uses an unidentified handgun to hold a restaurant owner hostage.
A M1911-esque pistol and the grip of a revolver can be seen in the bag of confiscated weapons in the police office.
This reoccurring design is first seen in Act 1, where it is outfitted with a sound suppressor, and then is featured more prominently in Act 4. The design draws heavily from the S&W 39 series pistols.
Members of the Newport Police Department are armed with an unidentified type of revolver.
Charon, Leona's old partner, uses this handgun during a flashback sequence in Act 2.
Submachine Guns
MAC-11
Leona Ozaki's weapon of choice is a MAC-11 submachine gun chambered for .380 ACP/9mm Short. She occasionally uses non-lethal "stun rounds" (likely rubber bullets) to subdue criminals. Another MAC-11 is seen during Act 2 in the hands of a criminal during a flashback sequence.
Steyr TMP
A Steyr TMP can be seen among the confiscated weapons in the first episode.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
One of he criminals in Act 1 uses a H&K MP5K with a ridiculously large sound suppressor. Another MP5K in the same configuration is seen in Act 4. A single unmodified MP5K is seen in Act 5 in the hands of one of the Mayor's bodyguards.
Rifles
AK-47
Several AK-47 rifles can be seen throughout the series. At least one of these rifles belongs to the Tank Police Squad. More AK-47s can be seen in Act 5 in the hands of various criminals during a crime wave.
AKMS
A discarded AKMS can be seen at a crime scene in Act 5.
Seburo MN-23
Nam is seen cleaning several Seburo MN-23 rifles. Another MN-23 makes a brief appearance in Act 4 in the hands of a criminal. The MN-23 was originally designed by Masamune Shirow as a commissioned design for Poseidon.co.jp (a manufacturer of replica resin kits of anime and manga weapons) as a cosmetic upgrade for the then-new electric airsoft version of the FAMAS assault rifle produced by Tokyo Marui. The original "backstory" of the gun specifies that it was intended as a less-than-lethal police riot control weapon, but since then has been used on multiple occasions (usually in adaptations of Shirow's manga) as a 5.56mm assault rifle. New Dominion Tank Police is the first instance of the MN-23 making an appearance as an actual assault rifle as opposed to a riot-control weapon.
