The following guns were used in the anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex:
PLEASE NOTE: Although the title is commonly given a colon, the correct title of this series is "Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex", without a colon. Please correct any links that appear incorrectly.
Handguns
Seburo M5
One of the trademark weapons for the series is the fictitious Seburo M5, a compact semiautomatic SA/DA concealed-carry handgun (with a total barrel length of 3.5 inches) that uses a locked-breech operating via a rotating barrel (a system similar to the Beretta Cougar). It is chambered for 5.45x18mm round, and feeds from a double-stack magazine with a total capacity of 19+1 rounds. The M5 is the standard sidearm for Section 9 operatives, and is also seen in the hands of various other law enforcement agencies.
IMI Desert Eagle
The terrorist that Kusanagi confronts at the beginning of the pilot episode attempts to use a stainless steel IMI Desert Eagle.
Mateba 2008M
Togusa carries a fictional 2008M throughout the series, which quite closely resembles the real Mateba model 6 Unica revolver, a semiautomatic revolver with uses the recoil of firing to revolve the cylinder and cock the hammer. The most visible difference from the Unica-6 is the ventilated rib, which the 2006M lacks, although the grip is also different. Togusa's weapon is chambered in .357 Magnum (Kusanagi refers to it as a 9mm, which is technically correct as the bullet diameter on a .357 is 9 millimeters). He also see to only load 5 round so it is easier for him to load and shoot a tracking round at get away cars.
Browning HP DAO
Batou carries and uses a fictional FN/Browning HP DAO variant in .45ACP throughout the series. The exact make and model is never specified, but it has the characteristic recurved trigger guard of the DAO series, although it has unique grips unlike any existing model. However, being .45ACP calibre, it is unlikely to be intended to be an original FN or Browning. It also appears to use a double-stack magazine, unlike current .45 Hi-Powers such as the ones made by FEG.
.22 Pocket Pistol
In episode 3, Marshall MacLachlan produces a stainless steel, .22 caliber pocket pistol. The design is fictitious, but draws heavily from the Beretta 3032 Tomcat.
Smith & Wesson model 37 Airweight
The Laughing Man uses a S&W 37 in his abduction of Ernest Serano on live TV in episode 4.
Walther PPK
A silenced Walther PPK of unknown caliber is used by parties unknown to assassinate the hacker known as Nanao=A in episode 5.
Vektor CP1
The Vektor CP1 makes occasional appearances throughout the series, first in the hands of a "Laughing Man" in episode 6, and more prominantly in the hands of Eka Tokura, leader of the Human Evolutionist faction. In the offical artbook for S.A.C, the series' mechanical designer mentions how he had wanted to include this weapon ever since he found the material on it, and opted to use the "Laughing Man" assassin for the CP1's first appearance.
Heckler & Koch VP70
When Batou raids Kusanagi's weapons cache at her safehouse, a Heckler & Koch VP70 is visible in the rack on the bottom of her underwear drawer, along with its stock/burst fire unit and several magazines.
Mateba 2006M
As a tribute to the 1995 Ghost in the Shell film, Togusa retrieves this Mateba, which is almost identical to the model shown in that film (although this version is approximately 1" shorter) from a box in his house in episode 26, planning to use it to assassinate a high-ranking corrupt government official, but is stopped by Batou before he can use it.
Tokarev TT-33
Several Tokarev pistols are seen throughout the series. The first one is an emergency weapon left behind by Marco in episode 10 . The second TT-33 appears in the hands of a Russian organ smuggler in episode 19. Several more TT-33s appear in episode 21 as planted weapons left behind by the Narcotics Suppression Squad (NSS) after an illegal raid.
Beretta 93R
An assassin working for the DEA uses a Beretta 93R to assassinate Dr Imakurusu in episode 21.
Glock 17
Several Glock 17s are seen in episode 6 in the hands of would-be assassins trying to kill the Superintendent General. Special Security Team operators in episode 13 were armed with the Glock 17 as their main sidearm.
Glock 33AV (AdVance)
A firing range scene in episode 15 depicts Batou evaluating the G33 AV (a fictional variant) which features a slightly lengthened barrel housed inside a compensator/barrel weight with an accessory rail, and an extended magazine well in order to comfortably accept full size G31 magazines. This is in fact a product placement tie-in with airsoft manufacturer Tokyo Marui, promoting their then-new G26AV model, which externally appears identical. Promotional material depicting this scene was produced by Tokyo Marui.
Beretta Cougar
The elder of the two robbers raiding the London Wine Fund in episode 17 carries a Beretta Cougar of unknown caliber.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP7
The Maritime Safety SST agents mentioned in episode 13 carry MP7 submachine guns. By the time Section 9 arrives, all but one of the agents are dead, and he is never seen using his MP7.
CZ Vz.61 Skorpion
Marcelo Jarti uses a Skorpion against Togusa in episode 7. Another Vz.61 appears in episode 17 in the hands of a robber. A third Vz.61 is seen being planted by NSS agents in episode 21.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Narcotics Suppression Squad (NSS) members raiding the Sunflower Society cyberbrain sclerosis support group in episode 20 carry H&K MP5Ks outfitted with SEF trigger groups and rather unusual flashlight-dedicated fore ends.
SOCIMI Model 821
Gondo's thugs in episode 7 all carry SOCIMI Model 821 submachine guns.
Steyr TMP
In episode 10, Marco fires at Borma with a Steyr TMP.
Unidentifed Submachine Gun
This unknown submachine gun is seen twice in episode 10, first in a video in Marco's personel file, and again in Marco's hideout. The weapon appears to be something of a combination between a QCW-05 and a Chang Feng CF-05.
Shotguns
SPAS-12
A Franchi SPAS-12 can be seen in Marco's hideout.
Franchi PA8
In episode 14, a cyborg tries to fire at Section 9 with a Franchi PA8 with the stock removed.
Assault Rifles
Seburo C26A
The primary weapon for Section 9 operatives is the fictional Seburo C26A assault rifle. The C26A uses a crooked 50 round box magazine that feeds in a bullpup pattern, entering the gun at 45 degrees from the bore and slanting to lie parallel to the barrel, locking into the front grip. Fired cartridge cases eject into a permanently mounted brass catcher mounted on top of the gun. Its ergonomics are similar to the FN F2000, with the trigger protected by a large loop that serves as a grip for the off hand. It is occasionally seen with a two-stage silencer attachment.
Seburo C30
The Seburo C30 is a variant of the C26A designed for overtly offensive missions. It is built around a C26A receiver and features an added optical sight, underbarrel grenade launcher and extended barrel with jacketing. It is seen covered with a jacket with a brass catcher. It is first seen in episode 13 during Section 9's raid on a ex-offshore radiation scrubber plant turned New World Brigade base.
M16A2
During episode 10, several American Empire soldiers armed with M16A2s can be seen during a flashback to Batou's days as a Ranger.
Vektor CR21
Saito briefly examines a Vektor CR-21 assault rifle loaded with HV (high-velocity) ammunition, used by the New World Brigade in episode 13.
Bullpup Rifles
The New World Brigadists in episode 13 are seen using an assortment of bullpup assault rifles.
Sniper Rifles
Seburo Anti-Tank Rifle
Saito uses this large-calibre anti-materiel rifle while attempting to stop the runaway HAW-303 tank in episode 2. The rifle itself s fictitious, but draws upon several real-world designs, primarily the Mechem NTW-20 and the Lahti L-39. Its user is forced to rived down the weapon's bipod, and can make use of a computer-assisted targeting system that uses both GPS targeting systems and an interface with Saito's own cybernetics to ensure long-range accuracy. In one episode, Major Kusanagi takes this weapon and uses it to shoot a Narc Squad member wearing a prototype power armor suit point-blank several times after he had blown her arm off and nearly crushed her head, the Major's anger and cybernetically-enhanced strength allowing her to effectively wield the massive weapon one-handed.
AK-74M (outfitted as a sniper rifle)
In episode 6, one of the people attempting to assassinate the Superintendent General includes a sniper armed with an AK-74M with a 20-round magazine and a scope attachment. The sniper is subdued by Saito before he can use the weapon.
Seburo Sniper Rifle
This bolt--action .50 BMG rifle first appears during the opening sequence in the pilot episode where Saito is briefly seen covering Kusanagi with it. The rifle is most prominently featured in episode 21 when a battle damaged Kusanagi snags it from Saito and proceeds to pummel round after round into a MSDF Type 303 mech at point blank range. While missing one arm, no less.
Civilian Sniper Rifle
This fictional 12mm rifle is seen briefly in episode 18 in the hands of Yu, a young man attempting to assassinate a Chinese politician. The weapon is only seen in disassembled a duffel bag, and Yu never gets an opportunity to use it. In the series' artbook, Tsuneki describes how he created a detailed set of information on this weapon, including assembly and disassembly steps, but that the weapon's appearance was removed from the final script. Yu is mentioned as having had the rifle sent to him piece by piece and to separate P.O. boxes, as such weapons are still illegal for civilians in Japan.
Yu's Sniper Rifle
Described by the S.A.C. series' mecha designer as actually being a civilian weapon, this is a high caliber bolt-action rifle that sports a polymer thumbhole stock. The weapon's aesthetics draw heavily from both the Walther WA 2000 and the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series. The caliber is described as being "12.00mm".
Machine Guns
M249 SAW
In the episode "Jungle Cruise" (episode 10), Batou is seen using an M249 SAW in a flashback to his time as a Ranger in South America during World War III.
GE M134 Minigun
Batou fields a futuristic man-portable GE M134 Minigun to slow down the incursion of Umibozu troops into Section 9's headquarters in episode 24. The gun is fed by two massive ammunition drums attached underneath and features a chainsaw grip, no doubt inspired by the one featured in Terminator 2. The Tachikoma sentient multiped tanks can also be fitted with compact .50 calibre multibarreled machineguns built from the M134 design, if their standard 50mm grenade launcher is swapped out.
Power-Suit Machine Gun
A MSDF Type 303 power suit (essentially a canon-immigrant version of the LandMate suits from Appleseed) piloted by Gayle in episode 21 uses a large machine gun during his fight with Kusanagi. The weapon is fed from a detachable box-magazine and features an under-barrel, pump-action grenade launcher.
Other Weapons
RPG-7
Human Evolutionists attempt to destroy Section 9's Tachikomas and tilt-wing aircraft with RPG-7s, but fail to score any hits.
Milkor MGL
A single SWAT officer in episode 2 can be seen holding a Milkor MGL fitted with an electronic sight. For some reason, the weapon is colored white.
Anti-Multipede Launcher
While trying to stop the runaway HAW-303 tank in episode 2, Ishikawa a 40mm launcher that fires specialized grenade shells loaded with a fast-hardening adhesive to immobilize the rogue Multipede tank.
Unidentified Rocket Launcher
During episode 2, Saito is briefly seen using this laser-guided rocket launcher during Section 9's mission to stop the runaway HAW-303 tank. It is only seen once, and Saito never even fires it, as the multipede tank detects the launcher's laser-targeting system and projects a series of decoy lasers before Saito can fire.
M67 Hand Grenade
Batou uses M67 hand grenade in episode 13.
