Mobile Suit Gundam 00 is the fourteenth television series in the Gundam franchise (dating back to 1979). It represents several landmarks for the franchise, being the first Gundam title to take place in the Anno Domini era and the first Gundam television series to be broadcast in high definition and a widescreen format. 00 is also unusual in that while most Gundam series consist of a single 45 to 55 episode season, 00 is split into two separate 25 episode seasons.
The following firearms are seen in the anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00:
Caseless Pistol
Most members of Celestial Being are issues identical (fictional) caseless semi-auto pistol.
Fictional Semi-Auto Pistol
A fictional semi-auto pistol is seen several times in the series in the hands of various characters.
A-Laws Pistol
Most A-Laws officers carry a fictional SA/DA pistol based heavily on the Ruger P-series pistol.
Compact Pistol
Setsuna is seen using a fictional compact pistol during flashbacks to his "recruitment" into Ali Al-Saachez's holy war.
Futuristic Kalashnikov Rifle
Most of the assault rifles seen in the series are a fictional rifle based heavily on the Kalashnikov design. The gas block has been flipped so that the gas tube runs underneath the barrel (similar to the AN-94), the bolt is operated via a tab located slightly behind the ejection port, and the stock is a thumbhole design similar to the stock on a SVD Dragunov. Some of these rifles have bayonets affixed to the barrels.
M61 Vulcan
A number of GE M61 Vulcan machine guns housed in futuristic versions of the Phalanx CIWS are seen during a demonstration of the AEU-09 Enact mobile suit in S1E01.
RPG-7
One of the guerrilla fighters in S1E08 tries to use a RPG-7 against GN-002 Gundam Dynames.
Walther P5
Alejandro Corner uses a gold-plated Walther P5 pistol during the final act of season 1.
Modified Sako TRG-42
In "Return Of The Saint" (S01E13), Lockon uses a Sako TRG-42 (outfitted with a birdcage style flash hider and a bipod different from the standard TRG bipod, as well as some sort of cover over the barrel underneath the scope) from the cockpit of Gundam GN-002.
Heckler & Koch SMG
One of the Katharon guards in "Homeland Burning" (S02E05) is armed with a Heckler & Koch SMG.
Unknown Pocket Revolver
In "Twistedness of Innocence" (S02E08), Tieria Erde carries an unidentified pocket revolver in his stocking while infiltrating a party dressed as a woman.
AK-47
During the closing credit sequence in Season 2, Setsuna is seen walking through a battlefield with hundreds of graves marked by rifles buried in the ground, many of which are AK-47 rifles.
M16A1
In addition the the AK-47s, several M16A1 rifles are seen in the battlefield graveyard.
Bullpup Rifles
A handful of fictional bullpup rifles are seen during the later half of the second season.
Futuristic LMG
During the siege on the Africa Tower orbital elevator, some of Hercury's men guarding the lift trains are armed with fictional light machine guns with drum magazines.
