Neon Genesis Evangelion

From Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games
Jump to navigation Jump to search

The following guns were shown in the anime franchise Neon Genesis Evangelion, including the original 26 episode series, the finale movie End of Evangelion and the remake Rebuild of Evangelion tetralogy of films.

Evangelion weapons

The giant Evangelion robots use a variety of weapons, several of them purely science fiction "Positron rifles", etc. However, several of their weapons are clearly based on real-life firearms...which have been built on a larger scale so that 40 meter tall humanoid robots can wield them.

Steyr ACR

The standard-issue ranged weapon of the Evangelions. In the original series it was officially referred to as a "Pallet Rifle" (for unknown reasons), but the Rebuild of Evangelion remake simplified this to simply calling it "Assault Rifle". Nonetheless it is clearly based on an upscaled design of the Steyr ACR. One is typically held with both hands for greater control, although Eva-02 dual-wields a pair of them in episode 19.

Desert Eagle

Wielded by Eva-01, this is clearly an upscaled design of the Desert Eagle. Only seen once in the entire series, when it is used in episode 16, though when it does appear it features fairly prominently.
