The following weapons were used in the anime series Puella Magi Madoka Magica:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS

Homura Akemi uses a Beretta 92FS. Presumably stolen from a US Army base, meaning that it is intended to be a U.S. military issued Beretta M9.

Rifles

Percussion-lock rifled musket

Mami Tomoe's main weapons are magically summoned percussion rifles. Endless numbers of them can be summoned to be wielded as clubs and fired by hand or remotely by magic. They are able to fire shotgun shells, as well as strings that emerge from her bullets to wrap around and restrain targets.

Mami is able to summon widely varying lengths, sizes, and calibers, as can be seen in the Tiro Finale. She even summons double-barrel shotguns and a handgun in the follow-up movie, but mostly uses the rifles in full infantry length, alongside carbines.

They're interestingly referred to as "rifled muskets," which would imply that they were originally a smoothbore design that was upgraded with rifling.

Mami is never seen reloading, instead tossing fired weapons aside and grabbing or summoning another.

She aims a rifle under distress. Note the aggressive rifling.
The concept art shows the rifling as well as the neglected ramrod.

She don't miss. Her bullets emit strings from their holes to restrain a witch.

Howa Type 89

Homura steals a Howa Type 89 from a JGSDF base. Mainly used to defend herself from witch minions especially during Walpurgis night.

Note the hyperbolic muzzle flash; not quite what military 5.56 out of a 16 inch barrel and a flash hider would look like.

Machine Guns

M249

Homura is seen killing witches with a hybrid M249 SAW that appears to be a Para variant with a fixed or collapsible stock. Presumably stolen from either a JGSDF or a US Army base.

Finale Cannon

Mami uses three immensely sized percussion cannon in her finishing move, called the Tiro Finale. The first is one equipped with a percussion-lock, used in Episode 2.

Finale Cannon #2, used in Episode 3, is noticeably smaller, and has the black cosmetic panels seen on her muskets, but interestingly features no action; Mami magically ignites the match of the weapon to fire it.

Finale Cannon #3 is seen in the same episode and is used as a mounted weapon via bipod. Mami also operates an actual grip on the weapon instead of tucking it under her shoulder like the other two.

Finale Cannon #1. So large that Mami has to use two whole hands, and so powerful that a fireball is formed at the muzzle before the weapon is even discharged.

Finale Cannon #2. Mami goes back to one hand while observing her work.

The magical wink used to ignite the match.

Finale Cannon #3. Guess the weight of the previous two did a number on her shoulders.
