The following weapons appear in the anime Patlabor: The Movie 2:
Howa Type 89
The majority of the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) soldiers in the anime are seen armed with Howa Type 89 rifles. During a fake gas attack, one soldier panics and shoots out the window of a building with one trying to escape the approaching cloud.
Howa Type 64
Along with the Howa Type 89 rifles, at least one JGSDF soldier can be seen carrying an older Howa Type 64, which is rather unusual considering the anime came out in the early 1990's when the Type 64 was being phased out and the anime is set in the early 21st century.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
JGSDF tanks can be seen fitted with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns as a secondary armament mounted atop the turret.
SIG P210
At one point, Captain Shinobu Nagumo goes to meet with her old friend Yukihito Tsuge whom also happens to be the mastermind behind the chaos gripping Tokyo. As she prepares for the meeting, she takes a SIG P210 from the glove compartment of her car and later draws it on him when he flees, but can't bring herself to open fire.
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
At one point in the film, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department attempts to disable a large blimp flying over the city that's sending out powerful jamming signals and disrupting all civilian and military communications, tasking a helicopter-borne sniper armed with a Heckler & Koch PSG-1 to shoot out the pod the signal's being sent from. However, the shots cause the blimp (which was being remotely piloted) to crash in the city and release a fake poison gas, causing mass panic.
Remington 870
As in the previous Patlabor anime, members of the Special Vehicle Unit can be seen armed with Remington 870 shotguns. At one point, Asuma Shinohara uses one to fire a flare down a tunnel to blind a pair of remote-controlled robotic guns, though it backfires in that most of the protagonists are blinded as well. Asuma and Mikiyasu Shinshi manage to flank the robots and use their shotguns to cut the control cables trailing behind the robots. Captain Nagumo can also be seen with a Remington 870 when she confronts and arrests Tsuge at the end of the film.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan appears several times in the film, first seen chin-mounted on JGSDF attack helicopters, then as the primary armament on the aforementioned remote-controlled robotic guns the protagonists engage in the tunnel near the end of the film.
