Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig
PLEASE NOTE: Although the title is commonly given a colon and Gig represented in uppercase ("2nd GIG"), the correct title of this series is "Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig", without a colon and with only initial capitals. Please correct any links that appear incorrectly.
The following guns were used in the anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig:
Seburo weaponry
Numerous fictional Seburo firearms are used as primary and secondary weapons by many of the protagonists throughout the series.
CZ Vz.61 Skorpion
Several of the false "Individual Eleven" who infiltrate the Chinese embassy in the first episode are armed with Skorpions.
Heckler & Koch MP7
Others among the Chinese embassy invaders are armed with MP7s of some sort.
Desert Eagle
Gino, the immigrant Helicopter pilot who is the focus of episode 2, periodically carries and dreams about his nickel-plated .50AE chambered Desert Eagle Mk VII, which has been customised with a ported muzzle and enlarged hammer spur.
Gino's gun collection
In addition to his Desert Eagle, Gino's gun collection contains a holstered subcompact gun that appears to be striker-fired, a third generation full-size Glock of some kind (by its proximity to the box of 9mm ammuntion it seems sensible to identify it as a Glock 17, and a Tokarev TT-33.
Oversize Derringer
Machine-fetishist executive Kazunoto carries a weapon like an oversized American Derringer DA 38 in episode 3. It has two barrels and no apparent magazine, and apparently loads by hinging downwards like the DA 38, but features a full-size grip and barrels at least 5" long, unlike most derringers. The caliber is unknown.
Mk23-like Section 1 silenced pistol
In episode 8 a crucial witness is assassinated by Section 1 agents who use a silenced pistol that closely resembles a H&K Mk 23. However, the ejection port is much smaller, and has a small brass catcher mounted.
IMI Uzi
Weapon dealers operating from a yacht in episode ?? arm themselves with IMI Uzis.
Anti-tank Rocket Launcher
These weapon dealers also have anti-tank rocket launchers, which resemble SMAW-Ds, although they seem larger in bore diameter, so may be original designs.
Blaser R93 LRS2
During the flashback story in episode 14, Saito's rifle during the 2020 Mexico engagement is a Blaser R93 LRS2. It is noteable that he alone in this episode uses an "old-fashioned" purely optical sighting system on his rifle.
Walther WA 2000
During the flashback to the 2020 engagement in Mexico, Kusanagi carries a Walther WA 2000 with black polymer furniture and a short barrel. Kusanagi, in contrast to Saito, has had the optical sight replaced by a purely cybernetic sight that interfaces directly with her cyberbrain via the QRS port on her neck.
"Futurised" Type 89/M203
Ishikawa carries a rifle that appears to be a somewhat "futurised" Howa Type 89, with a hybrid optical-cybernetic sight that interfaces with his cyberbrain, during the 2020 flashback. A similar rifle is carried by Kuze in scenes showing his past in episode 16, although this weapon, which he ultimately exchanges for a camera, has an M203 or similar underbarrel grenade launcher attached.
"Futurised" M4/M203
US troops in Kusanagi's multinational UN peacekeeper squad in episode 14's flashback to Mexico in 2020 carry similarly "futurised" carbines that are clearly M16/AR15 family-derived. They are also mounted with hybrid optical/cybernetic sights and M203-like grenade launchers.
"Futurised" M60
A young Batou is shown during the Mexico 2020 flashback using a machinegun that resembles an M60 of some sort that has been "futurised" in a similar way.
Mechem NTW-20
Saito uses a remote trigger mechanism on a Mechem NTW-20 anti-materiel rifle loaded with a single round to blow up a car and cause a diversion so that he can attack from another angle.
MAC-11
In episode 17, Kusanagi is threatened by a Triad member with a MAC-11. She quickly disarms him and takes the weapon herself, dual-wielding it alongside her Seburo M5
FIM-92A Stinger
Dejima Refugees use several Stinger missiles simultaneously to shoot down a drone above the island that is jamming communications. The use of several missiles at once overwhelmes the anti-missile countermeasures, and the depiction of the explosion is accurate in that the warhead explodes short of the target, destroying it with projected shrapnel.
AK-74
Several of the Dejima refugees use AK-74s, as recognised by the less curved magazines and muzzle brakes.
Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight
In episode 25 and 26, it is revealed that Aramaki carries a S&W 37 in an ankle holster. This weapon is identical to the one used by the Laughing man in Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, and may be intended to imply a continuing connection with that character.
