Handguns

Seburo M5

One of the trademark weapons for the series is the fictitious Seburo M5, a compact semiautomatic SA/DA concealed-carry handgun (with a total barrel length of 3.5 inches) that uses a locked-breech operating via a rotating barrel (a system similar to the Beretta Cougar). It is chambered for 5.45x18mm round, and feeds from a double-stack magazine with a total capacity of 19+1 rounds. The M5 is the standard sidearm for Section 9 operatives, and is also seen in the hands of various other law enforcement agencies.

Mateba 2008M

Togusa carries a fictional M2008 throughout the series, which quite closely resembles the real Mateba model 6 Unica revolver, a semiautomatic revolver with uses the recoil of firing to revolve the cylinder and cock the hammer. The most visible difference from the Unica-6 is the ventilated rib, which the 2006M lacks, although the grip is also different. Togusa's weapon is chambered in .357 Magnum (Kusanagi refers to it as a 9mm, which is technically correct as the bullet diameter on a .357 is 9 millimeters). He also see to only load 5 round so it easier to load and shoot a tracking round at get away cars.

Browning HP DAO

Batou carries and uses a fictional FN/Browning HP DAO variant in .45ACP throughout the series. The exact make and model is never specified, but it has the characteristic recurved trigger guard of the DAO series, although it has unique grips unlike any existing model. However, being .45ACP calibre, it is unlikely to be intended to be an original FN or Browning. It also appears to use a double-stack magazine, unlike current .45 Hi-Powers such as the ones made by FEG.

.22 Pocket Pistol

In episode 3, Marshall MacLachlan produces a stainless steel, .22 caliber pocket pistol. The design is fictitious, but draws heavily from the Beretta 3032 Tomcat.

Mateba 2006M

As a tribute to the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film, Togusa retrieves this Mateba, which is almost identical to the model shown in that film (although this version is approximately 1" shorter) from a box in his house in episode 26, planning to use it to assassinate a high-ranking corrupt government official, but is stopped by Batou before he can use it.

Glock 33AV (AdVance)

A firing range scene in episode 15 depicts Batou evaluating the G33 AV (a fictional variant) which features a slightly lengthened barrel housed inside a compensator/barrel weight with an accessory rail, and an extended magazine well in order to comfortably accept full size G31 magazines. This is in fact a product placement tie-in with airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Marui, promoting their then-new G26AV model, which externally appears identical. Promotional material depicting this scene was produced by Tokyo Marui.

Assault Rifles

Seburo C26A

The primary weapon for Section 9 operatives is the fictional Seburo C26A assault rifle. The C26A uses a crooked 50 round box magazine that feeds in a bullpup pattern, entering the gun at 45 degrees from the bore and slanting to lie parallel to the barrel, locking into the front grip. Fired cartridge cases eject into a permanently mounted brass catcher mounted on top of the gun. Its ergonomics are similar to the FN F2000, with the trigger protected by a large loop that serves as a grip for the off hand. It is occasionally seen with a two-stage silencer attachment.

Sniper Rifles

Anti-Tank Rifle

Saito uses this large-calibre anti-materiel rifle while attempting to stop the runaway HAW-303 tank in episode 2. The rifle itself s fictitious, but draws upon several real-world designs, primarily the Mechem NTW-20 and the Lahti L-39. Its user is forced to rived down the weapon's bipod, and can make use of a computer-assisted targeting system that uses both GPS targeting systems and an interface with Saito's own cybernetics to ensure long-range accuracy. In one episode, Major Kusanagi takes this weapon and uses it to shoot a Narc Squad member wearing a prototype power armor suit point-blank several times after he had blown her arm off and nearly crushed her head, the Major's anger and cybernetically-enhanced strength allowing her to effectively wield the massive weapon one-handed.

Yu's Sniper Rifle

Described by the S.A.C. series' mecha designer as actually being a civilian weapon, this is a high caliber bolt-action rifle that sports a polymer thumbhole stock. The weapon's aesthetics draw heavily from both the Walther WA 2000 and the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series. The caliber is described as being "12.00mm".

The gun is fed by two massive ammunition drums attached underneath. The Tachikoma sentient multiped tanks can also be fitted with compact .50 calibre multibarreled machineguns, if their standard 50mm grenade launcher is swapped out.

Unidentified Rocket Launcher

During episode 2, Saito is briefly seen using this laser-guided rocket launcher during Section 9's mission to stop the runaway HAW-303 tank.
