(Looking back at these screenshots, it occurs to me just how damn dark this show is. And I don't just mean in tone, either - the whole color palette is either really pale and washed-out or really dark.)

Steins;Gate (April 6 - September 14, 2011)

Steins;Gate is a 2011 anime series produced by White Fox, based on the 5pb. visual novel of the same name. It centers around a group of college students (led by Rintaro "Okarin" Okabe) and their accidental creation of a device capable of sending text messages back in time, allowing them to alter the past.

A non-chronologically-linear sequel, Steins;Gate 0, was released in 2018.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Steins;Gate:

Handguns

Unknown 1911 Variant

M1911A1-pattern pistols (presently unidentified) are a rather common sight, appearing in the hands of Rounders in most of the episodes in which they appear (replacing the Walther PPKs they used in the original VN), as well as Okabe Rintaro in Episode 14 ("Physically Necrosis") and future resistance fighters in Episode 15 ("Missing Link Necrosis"), though neither of these parties are ever seen using them.

Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP

In Episode 12 ("Dogma in Ergosphere"), a masked Rounder raises his Colt...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
...and points it directly at the members of the lab. And the screen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
He then pistol-whips the lab's TV.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Moeka Kiryu, the only non-masked member of the raiding group, points her 1911 at Mayuri Shiina.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Silently muttering about "FB", she pulls the trigger.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
An expressionless Moeka holds her still-smoking Colt.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
A side-on shot of the pistol; note the unusual presence of a Colt Commander-style ring hammer on a full-sized 1911. Said hammer is also uncocked, despite the pistol having been fired mere seconds earlier.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
With the confrontation continuing into Episode 13 ("Metaphysics Necrosis"), Moeka aims her 1911 at Okabe.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Another pistol (the one belonging to the aloha-shirted Rounder at the top of this section) lies on the floor.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Picking it up, Suzuha engages in a Mexican standoff with Moeka, in one of the series's more famous moments.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
"The 42-inch CRT..."
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
"...is on."
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Suzuha fires her pilfered pistol, creating an opening for the rest of the people in the room who understand the significance of that statement.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Moeka aims her Colt at Kurisu.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
However, Okabe's impromptu smokescreen blocks her view, leaving her to fire randomly into the mist.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
In the following episode, Okabe takes away Moeka's 1911; it's worth noting that, despite the rather serious nature of this scene, he disarms her under the threat of a toy ray gun. Which, as it happens, is also a TV remote.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Having acquired an actual handgun, Okabe holds it on its former owner. Note that the hammer isn't cocked, which would explain how remarkably unbothered Moeka looks if not for the fact that she pretty much always looks like that.

A first-person view of Okabe holding the pistol...

...and then promptly losing consciousness.

He awakes to the exact opposite situation.

Another view of Okabe and the 1911.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
An anti-SERN resistance fighter drops their handgun; note how, unlike the rest of the series' 1911s, this one has wooden grips and a normal spur-type hammer.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Another pair of resistance members are gunned down, one holding a 1911. The other presumably has a weapon as well (given the ammo belt they're wearing), though it is never seen clearly.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

In Episode 15, SERN agents in Suzuha Amane's description of 2036 use Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine guns.

The agents are blinded by Suzuha's flashbang; this gives a clear view of their MP5Ks' SEF lower receivers.

Rifles

AK-47

Several of the Rounders in Episodes 12 and 13 also use AK-47 rifles, seemingly of the Type III variety.

A brief, lower-detail shot of the Rounders and their weapons. Note that they're all wearing masks; in the VN, they were instead all bare-faced.

An additional Rounder stays behind to guard Okarin, AK in hand.

Grenades/Explosives

M18A1 Claymore

First seen in Episode 10 ("Chaos Theory Homeostasis III"), "Future Gadget #4 - Moad Snake" is a replica M18A1 Claymore mine. Aside from serving as a reference to Metal Gear Solid, its actual purpose is a "super-instant humidifier", which translates to it producing a massive amount of steam as soon as it's opened. The device plays an important role in Episode 13, with Okabe using it to create a smokescreen to blind Moeka.

Ruka Urushibara finds the Moad Snake, mistaking it for a camping/cooking kit.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Attempting to open the device, she removes the pin...
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
...and causes it to blow open.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
This creates a large blast of steam, as per the device's intended function.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
It's remarkably effective in doing so; the entire room is quickly filled with steam. It'd be even more impressive if someone could find an actual use for it.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Which, 3 episodes later, is exactly what happens - Okabe pulls the pin, and he and Kurisu disappear into the steam.

M84 Stun Grenade

In Episode 15, Suzuha is seen throwing an M84 Stun Grenade during her 2036 flashback.

M84 Stun Grenade
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Suzuha pulling the pin out of an M84 with her teeth; this is a rather bad idea, since grenade pins are not meant to come out more easily than human teeth (for rather obvious reasons), literally doubly so with an M84 since they have two separate pins.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Teeth unharmed, Suzuha throws her flashbang down the staircase at her pursuers.

Another frame from the same sequence, showing that the grenade's lever is correctly absent.

A close-up of the grenade, showing that it is incorrectly depicted with a completely smooth, black body; the real grenade is painted multiple colors (as the reference image shows), and has holes in the central cylinder that allow it to make a loud "bang" without breaking apart and throwing shrapnel.

Thoughts

Noted on how the screencaps have Funi on them. Ominae (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2020 (EDT)

Yeah, they’re the only site that legally streams the show, unfortunately enough. If you want, I could edit out the watermark. BrandonColeford1992 (talk) 10:49, 15 May 2020 (EDT)
Sure someone will come across the show without the watermarks anyway. Ominae (talk) 02:53, 27 May 2020 (EDT)
