===Glock 17===
The standard issue sidearm for all Nerv personnel is the [[Glock 17]]. Hyuga retrieves a Glock 17 from his desk when the JSSDF starts to invade Nerv HQ, but like most Nerv personnel, he has no weapons experience beyond basic training, so he nervously checks it by saying "safety off" aloud to himself. Since the Glock 17 ''has no external safety'', it's curious as to how he accomplished this. The answer may be that it is one of the ''End of Evangelion'' English dub translation's notorious script problems: The original Japanese version apparently doesn't have Hyuga say an equivalent line to this (unless there's an outside chance he mutters it under his breath) and it ''appears'' that the English dub just added in "safety off" to match his lip-flaps when he was talking.

===Heckler & Koch USP===
Major Misato Katsuragi's gun is the [[Heckler & Koch USP|HK USP]].  Unlike most Nerv personnel she does not use the standard issue Glock 17, possibly because she is head of the Tactical division.  She brandishes it several times during the series. Note that Misato's USP has a rubber grip on the handle. Misato fires 10 rounds in succession when fighting the JSSDF soldiers. All three of the main H&K USP variants carry more than 10 rounds per magazine, so its difficult to tell which kind she uses.

End of Evangelion (1997)

The following guns were shown in the anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion, including the original 26 episode series and the finale movie End of Evangelion.


Handguns

Glock 17

The standard issue sidearm for all Nerv personnel is the Glock 17. Hyuga retrieves a Glock 17 from his desk when the JSSDF starts to invade Nerv HQ, but like most Nerv personnel, he has no weapons experience beyond basic training, so he nervously checks it by saying "safety off" aloud to himself. Since the Glock 17 has no external safety, it's curious as to how he accomplished this. The answer may be that it is one of the End of Evangelion English dub translation's notorious script problems: The original Japanese version apparently doesn't have Hyuga say an equivalent line to this (unless there's an outside chance he mutters it under his breath) and it appears that the English dub just added in "safety off" to match his lip-flaps when he was talking.

Heckler & Koch USP

Major Misato Katsuragi's gun is the HK USP. Unlike most Nerv personnel she does not use the standard issue Glock 17, possibly because she is head of the Tactical division. She brandishes it several times during the series. Note that Misato's USP has a rubber grip on the handle. She fires 10 rounds in succession when fighting the JSSDF soldiers. All three of the main H&K USP variants carry more than 10 rounds per magazine, so its difficult to tell which kind she uses.

Nerv's security guards use the Steyr MPi 69 as their standard-issue weapon. While normally only Nerv security guards are armed with Steyr MPi 69's and normal technicians and computer operators are only armed with Glock 17's, command center computer operator Lt.

While the G11 program never really caught on and is now considered defunct, it would have been considered "futuristic" in 1997 when End of Evangelion was made.

A major feature of the HK G11 is that it fires caseless ammunition. Notice that when JSSDF soldiers fire their HK G11's in the movie, they never expel spent shell casings.
