The following firearms were seen in the Anime Higurashi no Naku Koro ni
Higurashi no Naku Koro ni (translated as "When the Cicadas Cry" and released in the U.S. as "When They Cry") is an anime adaptation of a series of sound novels released by 07th Expansion. The majority of the story takes place in June of 1983 in the rural Japanese village of Hinamizawa. Most of the story arcs shown in the anime are in fact alternate versions of the same events, with the arcs starting out in a similar fashion but ending in drastically different yet equally gruesome ways.
The anime consists of three separate installments: Two television series ("Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" and "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai"), and a five episode OVA ("Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei"). All three are included in this article.
Note: Due to the nature of the series, this article may contain some spoilers.
Handguns
Tokarev TT-33
Two pistols that looks like Tokarev TT-33 pistols are seen; used briefly by a member of the Yamainu, and later by Akasaka.
The pistol in the second shot looks more like an early model CZ 75 than a TT-33. The Wierd It 23:20, 4 August 2010 (UTC)
Nambu Model 60
Detective Ooishi carries a Nambu Model 60.
Nambu Type 14
A Japanese solder stationed in the Hinamizawa area during WWII is seen with a Nambu Type 14. He succumbs to the Hinamizawa Syndrome, and attacks his fellow solders with his sidearm.
Smith & Wesson 39
The Yamainu soldiers' standard sidearms are Smith & Wesson 39 pistols. Occasionally these weapons are seen outfitted with sound suppressors, making them Mk.22 "Hush Puppy"s. One S&W 39 is given to Takano by the leader of the Yamainu.
M1911
Takano's weapon of choice is an M1911.
Trivia: In the novel and videogame version of Higurashi, Takano Uses a Mauser C96 M712 variant.
Rifles
AK-47
Shion is seen using an AK-47 that she retrieves from the Sonozaki family armory.
M16A2
The soldiers from the special forces Banken carry M16A2 rifles outfitted with short 20 round magazines.
SVD Dragunov
Kasai, an employee of the Sonozaki family, uses a SVD Dragunov to wound a Yamainu soldier. The handguard is painted black.
Other Weapons
Ithaca 37
Kasai uses a sawed-off Ithaca 37 as his weapon of choice.
stun gun
Shion uses a stun gun in the 1st season.
MP5SD3
The H&K MP5SD3 is the primary weapon used by the Yamainu soldiers.
RPG-7
A Yamainu solder is briefly seen with a rocket launcher that has been outfitted with a scope.
M79
During a gag episode in Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Rei, Kasai is seen using an (exaggeratedly large) sawed-off M79 grenade launcher loaded with "stun rounds".
Toy Guns
Cork Rifle
Used by Mion at a shooting gallery booth at the Cotton Drifting Festival.
Airsoft Gun
Mion (and occasionally her twin, Shion) is often seen with a generic airsoft pistol in a shoulder holster. She never draws it in the anime, thus making it impossible to determine what gun it is modeled after. It's only real purpose is to help solidify her "tomboy" image.
Water Gun
water guns are used for fun
