Ebirah, Horror of the Deep

M1A1 Thompson

The Red Bamboo soldiers primarily use somewhat modified-looking M1A1 Thompson sub machine guns with large suppressor-like attachments on the ends of the barrel.

MP40

A secondary firearm employed by the Red Bamboo is what appears to be the MP40. Like their M1A1 Thompsons, these have large suppressors.

Made-for-Movie Firearms

A few of the weapons seen in the hands of the Red Bamboo are obviously props either inspired by existing guns, or entirely fictional.

Ryuui's sidearm

Captain Ryuui (Akihiko Hirata) (named "Captain Yamoto" in the English dub) carries a chromed handgun as his primary sidearm. It appears to be an entirely fictional movie prop.

Ryuui gestures with his gun for his men to return to the ship.

The gun is visible in Ryuui's holster as the Red Bamboo run after Dayo.

Ryuui points his gun at some slaves after firing a few attention-getting shots.

Machine pistol

At least one Red Bamboo soldier is seen with a silver-colored machine pistol that resembles a chromed MP40.
