The following weapons can be seen in the anime Patlabor: The Movie:
Carl Gustav Recoilless Rifle
At the beginning of the anime, Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) soldiers can be seen engaging a rogue experimental labor (the manned robots the anime takes its name from) using, among other weapons, Carl Gustav recoilless rifles.
Howa Type 89
The JGSDF soldiers at the beginning of the anime can also be seen armed with Howa Type 89 rifles.
M61 Vulcan
Among the JGSDF units deployed to stop the rogue experiemental labor at the beginning of the anime are several AH-88 "Hellhound" attack helicopters, each one armed with a chin-mounted M61 Vulcan as a secondary weapon.
AMC Auto Mag
During the raid on the Ark, Kanuka Clancy can be seen armed with an AMC Auto Mag as her main weapon, using it to destroy numerous guard robots en-route to the Ark's main control room.
Remington 870
Members of the Special Vehicle Unit (SVU) can be seen armed with Remington 870 shotguns with high-capacity magazine tubes for use when not aboard their labors. At the climax of the anime, Noa Izume uses her Remington 870 to shoot out the onboard computer of the rampaging Type Zero labor with Kanuka trapped in the cockpit.
Revolver Cannon
The Type 98 "Ingram" labors used by the SVU are armed with massive 37mm revolver cannons as their sidearms, their design drawing heavily from the four inch-barreled Colt Python revolver, though on a much larger scale. The weapon has the Colt logo on the grip replaced with the Japanese police symbol and is stored in a compartment in the labor's lower right leg when not in use. One drawback of the weapon is that the pilot has to exit the labor in order to manually reload it, spare rounds also being stored in the same leg compartment.
Riot Cannon
In addition to the revolver cannons mentioned above, the Type 98 labors can also use 90mm pump-action riot cannons which resemble massively scaled-up Remington 870 folding stock shotguns with high-capacity magazine tubes. These weapons are typically employed in situations where additional firepower is required, most notably during the Ark raid.
