SIG-Sauer P226

Sinon uses a SIG-Sauer P226 pistol during the crew's escape from Shu. Either due to a lack of research or as an act of artistic license, the pistol's decock lever is treated as a safety switch.

Futuristic Submachine Gun

Several government personnel, mostly security and police officers, are seen using a fictional bullpup submachine gun, most notably in episode 8 and 9. A variant capable of operating in a vacuum is seen in episode 10. A third long-barreled variant is seen in the hands of UN soldiers during the finale.

Several Power Loaders (an obvious shout-out to Aliens) that the Amaterasu's crew uses while docked at the AGI port are inexplicably equipped with some form of rotary gun concealed by a full-length barrel shroud.
