The following weapons were used in the anime series Spriggan (2022):

Pistols

CAA Tactical RONI

The CAA Tactical RONI is used by underground treasure hunter Yoshino Somei as her personal weapon. This replaces the GIAT FAMAS that she used in the "Forest of No Return" manga arc. That arc also debuted the RONI, which is outfitted with the Glock 18C. Kenichi Kaneko, who helped David productions animated the firearms used in the anime, confirms this on his twitter.

FN SCAR-L

The FN SCAR-L is used by the majority of Machiner's Platoon commandos as their primary assault rifles, being a unit that operates under USSOCOM command. MP commandos operating in Mount Ararat use SCAR-Ls with white camo paint. In "The Forest of No Return", Trident mercenary Iwao Akatsuki is seen taking a SCAR-L from a MP commando zombie. This is likely a reference to the manga, where he was originally carrying the Steyr AUG since TC mercenary are often outfitted with Steyr-made arms.

Heckler & Koch G36K

The Heckler & Koch G36K is used by Yu as his preferred primary weapon, replaced the Heckler & Koch G3A3/G3A4. Kaneko, he said that the decision was made in order to update their weapons since the storyline in the manga was updated to be in the present day post-September 11 in the year 2022.

Heckler & Koch G36C

The Heckler & Koch G36C is used by ARCAM Private Army soldiers as their primary weapon, outfitted with the IDZ stock. In the manga, they're outfitted with a variety of small arms. Kaneko mentioned in his twitter that this was done in order to give them a sense of realism since an organized paramilitary unit would need to have standard weapons in order to share ammo.

Heckler & Koch XM8

The Heckler & Koch XM8 is used by Trident Corporation mercenaries, replaced the Steyr ACR as used in the manga. Kaneko mentioned in twitter that the change was made since the Steyr ACR was considered back then to be adopted in a major western nation as a military weapon. Due to this (and likely the XM8 is still seen in some numbers with the Malaysian special forces unit PASKAL), the weapon was instead used in the ACR's place. Yu and Yoshino used captured XMs throughout "The Forest of No Return".

XM8 railed baseline carbine with Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight and Picatinny rail sections on the handguard - 5.56x45mm. This is apparently a non-standard Spiral 3 model with three PCAP points on the handguard instead of four.
