Desert Rose: The Snow Apocalypse (JP:砂の薔薇 (デザート・ローズ) 雪の黙示録 Suna no Bara: Yuki no Mokushiroku) is a 1993 OVA spinoff of the Japanese anime and manga series of the same name. It is centered around an all-female unit of anti-terror mercenaries named CAT (Counter Attack Terrorism) as they are tasked with protecting a world summit in Switzerland from terrorists.
The following weapons were used in the OVA Desert Rose: The Snow Apocalypse:
Pistols
Beretta 950BS
Irene Sanders uses a stainless Beretta 950BS Jetfire.
Colt Combat Elite
The Colt Combat Elite with spur hammer is used by both Jessica Kureakin and Dellaila Kankunen. The slide incorrectly doesn't move.
Heckler & Koch P9S
Stainless Heckler & Koch P9S pistols with target rear sights are seen in the hands of several CAT operatives.
SIG-Sauer P226
Oberstleutnant Ernst Heineken has a SIG-Sauer P226 with wood grips (which appears to be modeled after a spring airsoft replica, as the slide has guides that don't exist on the real pistol).
Unknown Pistol
Helga Mittermeyer draws an unknown handgun when Ernst draws his P226. It somewhat resembles an Heckler & Koch USP, but the anime was released in April of 1993, three months after the unveiling of the HK USP, so this is unlikely.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Various terrorists in the warehouse are seen with Heckler & Koch MP5A3s.
Interdynamic KG-9
Terrorists are seen using full-auto Interdynamic KG-9s with extended barrels. The bolts incorrectly do not cycle.
IMI Uzi
One of the terrorists in Germany is seen going down with an Uzi. The barrel of one is also seen when Jean-Pierre Montan is assassinated (though it changes to a KG-9 when the car chase starts).
Shotguns
Mossberg 590
A stocked and stockless Mossberg 590 can be seen in the back of the CAT operative's van in the intro of the OVA (which appears to be based on chapter 2 of the manga, taking place in Cologne).
Assault Rifles
M16A1
The M16A1 is the standard armament of the CAT operatives.
SIG SG 550
Swiss soldiers guarding the conference can be seen with SIG SG 550 rifles. Note their uniforms and webbing appear to resemble West German or US Army Ranger ones rather than Swiss ones of the time (although they are similar to some of non-camo ones such as the ones seen on tankers and Festungswachtkorps).
Colt Model 609
Mariko Rosebank uses a Colt Model 609 during the raid in the beginning of the OVA.
Launchers
M72 LAW
A terrorist is seen firing a M72 LAW from the inside of his Alpine A110 sports car. The back-blast somehow doesn't fry him and his associate, and the rocket also passes though both his windshield, the helicopter's windshield, and the helicopter air frame without significantly damaging it.
Unknown Launcher
Dellaila fires a fictional launcher from the chopper they are riding in. It appears to take inspiration from various launchers, such as the Armbrust, FIM-43 Redeye and the LAW 80.
Grenades
M26 Grenade
Dellaila can be seen with M26 hand grenades on her webbing. She tosses one to Irene (with the pin pulled) to blow up hostiles in the room they breach.
Cover guns
In the larger image of her, Mariko appears to be holding a Gen 1 Glock 17 with wide sights (and the magazine of an M9). Mariko on the jetski appears to be holding an Ithaca 37 Riot, while Irene appears to have Colt Model 609. Helga possibly has a M1911.
