This appears to be based on a Glock, but it is unknown if the prop is a full mock up with Glock like features, or actually a modified Glock.

This unnamed rifle appears to be based on a H&K G36. Close inspection of screencaps from the movie show that the stock isn't 100% identical to the g36 of any variation. The weapons DO fire, though perhaps only blanks and is unknown if the weapons are modified g36's or another weapon encased in a g36 like shell.

I suspect that the 'Pulse Guns' may be based on these: http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/File:G26-advance.jpg The compensator and rear sight certainly look right. The Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex page has some info on them. Jimmoy 09:52, 29 June 2012 (CDT)
