Pistols

Jericho 941

Spike Spiegel's signature pistol is a customized IMI Jericho 941 chambered in 9x19mm. He has installed custom grips and a frame-mounted laser sight on the right side, although we never see him use it.

Worth noting is that the added laser-sight would prevent the saftey from being used, as it blocks the movement of the slide-mounted saftey.

Walther P99

Jet Black's signature pistol is a Walther P99. Of all the gun-wielding members of the Bebop's crew, Jet is perhaps the least likely to be seen with his weapon drawn; preferring instead to rely on the cybernetically-enhanced strength of his prosthetic arm.

Glock 30

Faye's signature pistol in Cowboy Bebop is a .45 ACP Glock 30. Despite her often fiery temper, she rarely draws it, though in one episode can be heard firing it off-screen when Spike goes to confront her while she's using the shower aboard the Bebop, eliciting an amused reaction from Jet. Faye most notably uses it in the final episode, "Real Folk Blues", to shoot out the tires of two cars belonging to Red Dragon Syndicate members chasing after Julia and again holding it on Spike when questioning why he's going to face Vicious, firing several rounds into the ceiling of the Bebop in frustration when she fails to talk him out of it.

Ruger P89

While preparing for the confrontation with Vicious and his men at the church, Spike stocks up on weapons, one of the weapons he retrieves is a Ruger P89, that he had kept hidden in the fridge of the Bebop. Though it is shown being loaded and cleaned, it is never seen in use on screen.

Heckler & Koch USP

In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", a prisioner on an ISSP prision ship can be seen with a Heckler & Koch USP handgun when the prisioners take over the ship. He first uses it to kill the pilot of the ship and then to threaten a fellow prisioner. Gren used one to shoot at Vicious in Jupiter Jazz pt. 2. It's also used by Earth policemen in episode 9, "Jammin' With Edward", as well as Europan police in "Mushroom Samba".

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

In the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", ISSP bodyguards can be seen using Heckler & Koch Mark 23 pistols as their sidearms fitted with AN/PEQ-6 Laser Aiming Modules, though are no match for the episode's psychotic title character, all the bodyguards and the high-ranking ISSP official they were charged with protecting being killed.

Beretta 92FS

Surprisingly rare, the Beretta 92FS is seen in a mere 2 episodes. In the episode "Ballad of the Fallen Angels" (Episode 5), Annie gives Spike a Beretta 92FS with a stainless steel barrel along with a carton of 9x19mm ammo. Spike later dual-wields it with his Jericho during his fight with Vicious. In "The Real Folk Blues Pt. 1", a Red Dragon thug uses a Beretta 92FS to fire at Julia and Faye, but fails to hit either woman.

Colt Mk IV Series 70

In one episode, Vicious uses a Colt Mk IV Series 70 to threaten Julia, then gives her the pistol with instructions to kill Spike, though she cannot bring herself to do it. She later uses it when she and Spike are engaged in a shootout with Red Dragon Syndicate members.

Colt Single Action Army

Cowboy Andy uses a pair of Colt Single Action Army revolvers as his main weapons in the episode "Cowboy Funk", keeping with his old west motif. These weapons also appeared in the title sequence of Big Shots, a TV series watched by the protagonists that features information on various bounties, as well as in the hands of the hosts on occasion.

Desert Eagle

In Episode 2, "Stray Dog Strut" Hakim uses a Desert Eagle to threaten the man who stole his briefcase. The weapon is drawn smaller than normal, but this may have been done to emphasize Hakim's towering stature.

Thompson Center Arms Contender

In the episode "Sympathy For the Devil", Spike uses a customized Thompson Center Arms Contender loaded with a custom round with a bullet made from an extremely rare mineral to kill the episode's villain, who through a freak accident has maintained the outside appearance of a young boy while in fact being many decades old. It should be noted that the casing for the round Spike fires is that of a 7.62x39mm round, one of the many calibers that can be used with interchangeable barrels.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

In "Honky Tonk Women", Faye's debut episode, she uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K with a 15-round magazine to defend herself from the mobsters she was trying to escape, though is forced to surrender when she finds herself outgunned. It is also used by Red Dragon Syndicate henchmen in "The Real Folks Blues". When Jet is describing the history of the 'Space Warriors' environmental terrorist group in "Gateway Shuffle", one of the pictures on the computer screen shows one of the terrorists brandishing an MP5K after boarding a fishing vessel and abducting the crew.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

Another surprisingly rare gun, the Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is only seen in the flashback of Spike's final shootout as a Red Dragon enforcer. It is fitted with a Surefire dedicated forend weaponlight and appears to have two magazines in a dual mag clamp.

MAC-10

In the episode "Gateway Shuffle", a group of environmental terrorists calling themselves the "Space Warriors" can be seen brandishing MAC-10 machine pistols when they assassinate a bounty Spike and Jet had been tracking at a lavish restaraunt. Some of the gangsters that capture Faye in "Honky Tonk Women" can also be seen armed with MAC-10's fitted with silencers. Pierrot Le Fou also dual-wields one with an Uzi at one point.

Shotguns

Remington 870

In the episode "Real Folk Blues", Spike heads to the back of Annie's store to grab a box filled with weapons. One of the weapons he retrieves is a pistol-gripped Remington 870. Spike loads and uses the gun throughout the gun fight that ensues at Annie's store.

Modified China Lake Launcher

In episode 17, "Mushroom Samba", the youngest Shaft brother wields what appears to be a modified China Lake Launcher. One is also used by Pierrot Le Fou, and a Red Dragon thug in episodes 20 ("Pierrot Le Fou") and 25 ("The Real Folk Blues Part 1"), respectively.

Fictional Multi-Barrel Grenade Launcher

In episode 20, "Pierrot Le Fou", Pierrot uses a fictional multi-barrel grenade launcher, somewhat similar in design to a Pepperbox Revolver. It has five barrels, staggered vertically, which seems like an odd design choice. Then again, it's possible that Pierrot designed it himself.

Grenade-Modified Winchester 1894

In "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses what appears to be a heavily modified 1894 converted to launch grenades, during a chase scene with Teddy Bomber. The grenade launcher is fitted with a large lever loop, (a-la Terminator 2). During the chase, Andy, (after flip cocking it with one hand) fires it at Spikes ship, and misses, but manages to destroy a great amount in private property before he escaped the scene with Faye, leaving a bewildered Spike, and Teddy Bomber behind.

M67 Hand Grenade

During Spike's raid on the Red Dragon Syndicate headquarters in the episode "Real Folk Blues", he can be seen using several M67 hand grenades, taking out several of Vicious' men with them as he makes his way through the building.

Others

Flamethrower

In episode 11, "Toys in the Attic", Spike uses a Flamethrower to char-broil shish-kebab, and again in an attempt to defeat the unknown creature incapacitating the crew. It appears to be at least partially based on the M240 flamethrower from the film Aliens, which makes sense, seeing as the sequence borrows heavily from it and its prequel Alien.

Hand Held GE M134 Minigun

In the episode "Honky Tonk Women", the mobsters that capture Faye force her to surrender when they respond to her MP5K barrage by returning fire with a hand held GE M134 Minigun, decimating the Chinese pharmacy she was in but amazingly harming none of the human occupants.

Cane Gun

In the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", the title character can be seen brandishing a cane gun as his primary weapon, though it appears to be capable of firing numerous rounds (as opposed to real cane guns usually being loaded with only one round) with incredible accuracy, able to shoot out the window of an armored car with repeated hits to the same spot.
