Hunter X Hunter (pronounced "Hunter Hunter", without the "X") is a 2011 anime series produced by Madhouse, based on Yoshihiro Togashi's famous manga series of the same name. Set in a fictional world (whose map looks conspicuously like the real world's rearranged), the story centers around Gon Freeccss, a 12-year-old boy who seeks to join the exclusive, prestigious Hunter Association (a group composed of exceptionally capable individuals in a variety of fields, ranging from exploration to bounty hunting to cooking), in an effort to find his absent father, a noted member of the group. Soon after he begins, he is joined by 3 other aspiring hunters - Killua Zoldyck (another 12-year-old boy, and also an accomplished hitman-for-hire), Kurapika Kurta (a 17-year-old seeking to avenge the murder of his family), and Leorio Paradinight (a 19-year-old who primarily wants access to the organization's funding, so he can go to medical school).
The following weapons were used in the anime series Hunter X Hunter (2011):
A Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy") is briefly seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox.

Presumably because of its brief appearance, the space in the trigger guard is drawn completely solid; the slide is also locked back for some strange reason.
Colt Defender
Another Mafia member in Episode 43 is seen with a Colt Defender; yet another Mafia member uses one against Uvogin in Episode 44 ("Buildup x To A x Fierce Battle").
What appears to be a Colt M1911A1 is (briefly) used by a Mafia member in Episode 44 ("Buildup X To A X Fierce Battle"); more are used by Mafia members in Episode 51 ("A X Brutal X Battlefield"), with Pakunoda also using one.

What's not apparent is which exact version this is, so the choice of a Mark VII as a reference image was more or less arbitrary.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
What appear to be Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers (or possibly another similar S&W model) are used by the police officers that attempt to arrest Basho in Episode 39 ("Wish x And x Promise").
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 (or, again, another similar model) is briefly seen in the hands of a Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy").
What appear to be Steyr GB pistols are used by some of the Eleven Black Children, Shachmono Tocino's Nen-based soldiers; they are only used during the Children's first (i.e. planned) appearance, presumably because their armaments are separate from them, and thus need to be handed out to them in advance.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSteyr GB - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingTwo of the Black Children burst into frame, GBs in hand; the further of the two holds his left-handed, showing that it has wood grip panels.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe closer Child fires his, while a third enters the shot even closer.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWith the blur gone, the third Child's pistol is more clearly visible; while some of the details are off from the real deal (most notably the boxier slide, along with smaller wooden grip panels and a shorter front sight), the resemblance is still apparent.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother view of the Children; the GB's characteristic front barrel collar (part of its gas-delayed blowback mechanism) is clearly visible here.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSeveral 9mm projectiles suspended on one of Kurapika's chains; the slugs appear to be solid copper, and were presumably moving rather slowly given that they're still in one piece (and the fact that they were stopped with a spinning chain).Error creating thumbnail: File missingA view of the Children from above; this being a relatively brief shot, their pistols' proportions are... inconsistent, to put it lightly.
Walther PPK
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with a stainless Walther PPK.
A nickel-plated Webley Mark VI is Pakunoda's signature weapon, seen first during the 2nd OP sequence, "Departure! -second version-". For all its association with the character, she only actually uses it twice; rather than conventional ammunition, it is used exclusively to fire Nen-based "Memory Bomb" rounds, which contain a fixed set of information that is instantly conveyed to anyone shot in the head with them.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingWebley Mark VI (nickel-plated) - .455 WebleyError creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda with her Webley in the second OP sequence; while her choice to point it straight at her own head with the hammer cocked seems a bit less suicidal when the nature of its ammunition is considered, it still doesn't make too much sense - the most she could hope to accomplish is transferring information directly to herself.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda and her revolver also show up (ableit silhouetted) in the 2nd ED sequence, "Hunting For Your Dream"; the hammer is cocked again here, though the position of the text makes it a bit hard to see.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe first shot of Pakunoda's Webley in the show proper, with the former cleaning the latter; this is seen in Episode 43.
Unknown Revolver
Various patrons of the Hunter-exclusive information website carry holstered revolvers (in keeping with the site's Wild West theme); these are never unholstered, and thus difficult to give a specific ID.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingGon and Killua sit down at the website's bar, next to a presumably-virtual patron with a holstered revolver; the out-of-focus patron in the foreground also has one.
Rifles
M4A1 Carbine
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with what appears to be an M4A1 Carbine (or a similar AR variant).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt M4A1 - 5.56x45mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Mafia member (center-left); while the proportions are rather wide of the mark (with an oversized receiver, a massive dustcover, and a comparatively tiny carrying handle and handguard), the combination of a clearly-detachable carrying handle and a carbine-length barrel and gas system (with the back of the front sight block just visible to the left of the middle man's head, nevermind that his head wouldn't cover the end of the gun if it had a full-length barrel) make an M4A1 or something of the sort the most reasonable guess.
Remington Model 700PSS
A Mafia sniper in Episode 44 is seen with what appears to be a Remington Model 700PSS; like most of the weapons used by the Mafia in this episode, it is used briefly, and to little effect.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRemington Model 700PSS - 7.62x51mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingThe first view of the sniper's rifle is not of the rifle itself, but rather the reticle of its scope. The man under the crosshair should tell you everything you need to know about how this ends.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe audience is then treated to a sweeping shot of the rifle itself, first showing off the bipod and heavy-profile barrel...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and then the scope, stock, receiver, and sniper. Note the oddly short ejection port; this is presumably a by-product of perspective, though as this is the only shot of the entire receiver provided and no rounds or spent cases are ever seen, it's possible that it was drawn that way intentionally.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA close-up of the trigger group and bolt handle as the sniper prepares to take his shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missingImmediately regretting his decision, the sniper shows off a decent view of his rifle's bolt and scope.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
The aptly-named character Siper uses a somewhat nondescript sniper rifle; based on its design, it is presumably semi-automatic, though it can't be said for sure since, despite practically never being seen without it, Siper never actually fires the rifle on-screen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe first shot of Siper and her sniper rifle, seen in Episode 3 ("Rivals x For x Survival"; spaces in Hunter X Hunter episode titles are always filled with a silent "x").Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother group shot of the Hunter examinees, showing off more of the rifle; note how it has a rather oddly thick stock, and a front sight but no rear sight (not that one would be of much use, considering the height of the receiver).Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper runs through the Nemure Wetlands with her rifle on her back (in Episode 5, "Hisoka x is x Sneaky"); it appears to use a military-style 3-point sling, though where the front sling mount actually is isn't clear due to Gon's haircut.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWaiting for the exam's third phase to end in Episode 12 ("Last Test x of x Resolve"; the lack of an "x" between the first two words is deliberate, likely because "last test" is one word in Japanese), Siper cleans her rifle; its design is noticeably different here, with a less bulky (and more rounded) receiver, a shorter forend, a longer scope, and a considerably larger ejection port that sits oddly far forward in the equally-strangely-long receiver. The third hook point on the sling also isn't visible here, though it could simply be obscured by Siper's arm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe then stops and silently judges the camera (along with Sommy's weird human-faced monkey-thing); precisely how the scope is actually attached to her rifle isn't entirely clear.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper stands outside Trick Tower in Episode 14 ("Hit x The x Target"); note how here, she carries it with one sling strap over her left shoulder...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...whereas, in the next shot where she appears, it has a 3-point sling.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper takes careful aim at her target; this is probably the clearest shot of the rifle in the entire show. As mentioned, the layout of the ejection port suggests a semi-auto, though there isn't an obvious charging handle; if there is one, it's presumably on the left side of the receiver, since only the right side is ever shown. The scope now features a simple mount (two posts, and no rings or rails); the barrel is still rather odd, having some sort of thick section or shroud that runs the length of the handguard (possibly a free-float tube of some kind), and the receiver is once again large and boxy.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA view through Siper's rifle's duplex-crosshair scope as she lines up a shot on Gittarackur. This sequence is shown in both this episode and the next one ("Scramble x Of x Deception"), explaining what happened immediately afterwards: taking far too long to act (despite seemingly having a clear shot the entire time), Siper becomes the victim of the now-classic through-the-scope shot. With a needle.
Launchers
M20 "Super Bazooka"
One of the numerous Mafia men in Episode 44 uses an M20 "Super Bazooka" against Uvogin; notably, it is actually referred to by name (or rather, by nickname) by its user. Precisely why the Mafia thought such a weapon was necessary to bring along to what they believed would be a fight against ordinary human beings isn't ever elaborated upon; regardless, the fact that such a weapon would normally be overkill winds up being a bit of a moot point.
Franklin Bordeau's Nen ability is his "Double Machine Gun", a set of 10 submachine guns mounted in his fingers; being Nen-based, they fire Nen bullets, and thus don't have any obvious operating mechanism.
