The following weapons were used in the television series Mobile Suit Gundam: The 08th MS Team:



Pistols

Futuristic Glock 17

A Futuristic Glock 17 is used by Earth Federation intelligence officer Alice Miller after Shiro Amada attends to his court-martial. The difference with this pistol and the actual Glock 17 is with a redesigned slide and a longer barrel. The trigger guard is a bit different as well.

Mauser C96

A Mauser C96 is used by an anti-Zeon guerrilla during an attack on a Zeon Earth Attack Force base in Southeast Asia. However, the weapon does have a shorter barrel. In reality, the C96 (and its variants) are known to have long barrels.

Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser. Note the rear tangent sight; in something of a display of wishful thinking, the C96's sight is adjustable for ranges up to 1000 meters.

Unknown Submachine Gun

A few anti-Zeon guerrilla uses submachine guns that look like futurized Heckler & Koch MP5A3s, although the animation details done is not enough to make a sound judgement.

Shotguns

Sawed-off shotgun

An anti-Zeon guerrilla uses a sawed-off shotgun. It does have some semblance to a sawed-off Remington 870, but the animation details used aren't enough to make a good conclusion.
