The following weapons were used in the anime series Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka:
GRU Operative Constantine Asimov points what appears to be an MP-443 "Grach" on Iizuka Yoshiaki in the battlefield outside Mt. Aso in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". This would make sense as the MP-443 is the standard service pistol of the Russian military and law enforcement.
Magical Girl Just Cause Mia's magical artifact is a two shot derringer of indeterminate manufacture that can transform into various firearms, most notably an HK416.
Magical Girl Just Cause Mia's magical artifact is a two shot derringer that can transform into various firearms. She is seen using what appears to be an FN Five-seveN before it changes to her derringer in order to transform as her main sidearm. Her fellow CIA SAD agents Aaron and Julia also use it on occasions.
A ballistic knife pistol is seen in "Magical Girl Operations Development Unit" with Tamara, using it as her handheld weapon. It appears to be enhanced to take on magical enemies.
A full sized IMI Uzi is used by a Colombian terrorist named Crescent Moon Sandino to attack Magical Girl "Just Cause" and her fellow CIA operatives in "Wish Upon a Star".
Yoshiaki Iizuka of the JGSDF's Special Forces Group contingent at Mt. Aso, is armed with the Howa Type 89 Assault Rifle in in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". He appears to be using 20 round magazines. The JGSDF's 15th Brigade are armed with the Type 89, but with 30 round magazines, first seen in "The Lid of Hell".
The East Asia United Front terrorists in the first episode are all using AKMs with the rescued terrorist leader using one with an underslung GP-25 grenade launcher in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". They're later seen first in "Daily Life and Comrades in Arms", confirming that the EAUF uses them as their weapon of choice. They're also seen with other bad guys in other episodes.
Magical Girl Just Cause Mia's magical artifact is a two shot derringer that can transform into various firearms. The most common form it takes is a HK416 with magically enhanced ammunition.
Aaron and Julia are seen with Beretta ARX-160s in "A More Terrible War" while on an anti-cartel op in Mexico. Magical Operations Response Group operators use them during the siege at JGSDF Naha Garrison in "Each of Their Own Battles".
The LMT LM308MWS Sharpshooter is seen with operators under the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Forces' Magical Girl Operations Development Unit or M-Squad. Kurumi presumably gets one from the squad in "Each of Their Own Deadly Battles".
GRU Operative Constantine Asimov was initially armed with an OSV-96 during the final battle against the King Disas at Mt. Aso in "The Magical Girl Comes Back".File:MGSOAE10 05.jpg
The Accuracy International AS50 is used by M-Squad as the anti-material rifle of choice. It's usually loaded with Orihalcon-made ammo to weaken magical creatures and girls if a shot is made.
A General Dynamics GAU-17/A is seen used with a JGSDF Bell Boeing MV-22B Osprey VTOL deployed to Hokkaido in "Magical Girl Operations Development Unit", which is later used in other M-Squad ops in Japan.
The terrorists seem to have an uparmored Dodge Nitro with a M134 Minigun on a pop-out roof mount in "The Magical Girl Comes Back".

Doesn't work that well against a superhuman magical girl with shield powers and a magical karambit that can slice through anything.
RPK
Russian magical girl Tamara Volkova is holding what is supposedly a magically modified RPK light machine gun with a 40 round magazine.
The Komatsu LAVs of the JGSDF's 15th Brigade are armed with the license built Minimi by Sumitomo Heavy Industries. Note that they're animated with a very long barrel.
The Sumitomo Type 74 in a coaxial machine gun role is utilized by the M-Squad's Type 16 Maneuver Combat Vehicle deployed during the raid on the JGSDF Naha Garrison in "The Lid of Hell".]]
Kim Kanth, leader of the EAUF, is given an AKM with a GP-25 Grenade Launcher attached in "The Magical Girl Comes Back" with most of the other EAUF terrorists.
The JGSDF soldiers defending Naha are also equipped with the Japanese licensed copy of the Carl Gustav Recoiless Rifle in "Each of Their Own Deadly Battles.
In the opening sequence, Asuka is seen holding what appears to be a compact or officer's model of the M1911 with skeletonized trigger, angled slide serrations, and enlarged beavertail. She is also shown using this as her primary ranged weapon alongside her magical karambit, and it appears to also shoot magically enhanced ammunition.
The Tokyo Metropolitan Police Riot Police escorting the terrorist leader and their vaguely recognizable firearms. Possible they are MP5's as the TMPD's SWAT teams are armed with such weapons.
Sacchu, the fairy that helps Asuka and others in Japan, uses a pistol when fighting alongside Asuka and Kurumi at Naha Air Base. He gains two of these when fighting Goblin-types at the underground bunker.
