Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig is a 26 episode anime series based on the manga of the same name by Masamune Shirow (Appleseed, New Dominion Tank Police) and is a direct sequel to Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex. The series consists of three groups of episodes; "individual" (IN) episodes which cover the Individual Eleven storyline, "dividual" (DI) episodes that have independent storylines, and "Dual" (DU) episodes that cover the Cabinet Intelligence Service & Gouda storyline. In 2007, the "Individual" episodes were recut into a single film called Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig - Individual Eleven.
PLEASE NOTE: Although the title is commonly given a colon and Gig represented in uppercase ("2nd GIG"), the correct title of this series is "Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig", without a colon and with only initial capitals. Please correct any links that appear incorrectly.
The following guns were used in the anime series Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig:
Handguns
Seburo M5
A sith Stand Alone Complex, Section 9's standard sidearm is the fictitious Seburo M5, a compact semiautomatic SA/DA concealed-carry handgun 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.
Desert Eagle
Gino, the immigrant Helicopter pilot who is the focus of episode 2, periodically carries and dreams about his nickel-plated .50AE chambered Desert Eagle Mk VII, which has been customized with a ported muzzle and enlarged hammer spur.
Tokarev TT-33
Several Tokarev TT-33 pistols are seen throughout the series, usually in the hands of criminals.
Glock 17
A 3rd generation Glock 17 can be seen in Gino's gun collection in episode 2.
.22 Pocket Pistol
The .22 caliber pocket pistol used by Marshall MacLachlan in Stand Alone Complex makes a return in episode 2 in Gino's gun collection. The design is fictitious, but draws heavily from the Beretta 3032 Tomcat.
Oversize Derringer
Machine-fetishist executive Kazunoto carries a weapon like an over-sized DA38 Derringer in episode 3. It has two barrels and no apparent magazine, and apparently loads by hinging downwards like the DA 38, but features a full-size grip and barrels at least 5" long, unlike most derringers. The caliber is unknown.
Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight
In episode 25 and 26, it is revealed that Aramaki carries a S&W 37 in an ankle holster.
Submachine Guns
CZ Vz.61 Skorpion
Several of the "Individual Eleven" who infiltrate the Chinese embassy in the first episode are armed with Vz.61 Skorpions.
Heckler & Koch MP7
Others among the Chinese embassy invaders are armed with MP7s of some sort. The Japanese Coast Guardsmen were also seen using MP7s while making a sting aboard a refugee vessel.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Seen in hands of refugee in episode 4.
IMI Uzi
Several IMI Uzi submachine guns are seen throughout the series.
MAC-11
In episode 17, Kusanagi is threatened by a Triad member with a MAC-11. She quickly disarms him and takes the weapon herself, dual-wielding it alongside her Seburo M5.
Assault Rifles
Seburo C26A
As with Stand Alone Complex, 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.
AKS-74U
The AKS-74U is quite popular weapon among terrorists in first episode.
Police Bullpup
The fictional rifle used by the Metropolitan Police in Stand Alone Complex is carried over into 2nd Gig. It bears a striking aesthetic resemblance to the Enfield L85 rifle series, but differs in almost every detail upon closer examination.
AK-74
Several of the Dejima refugees use AK-74 rifles, as recognized by the less curved magazines and muzzle brakes. The opening shot of the conflict between the refugees and the military is fired with an accurised AK (or possibly RPK) variant mounted with an optical sight and a longer barrel.
"Futurised" Type 89/M203
Ishikawa carries a rifle that appears to be a somewhat "futurised" Howa Type 89, with a hybrid optical-cybernetic sight that interfaces with his cyberbrain, during the 2020 flashback. A similar rifle is carried by Kuze in scenes showing his past in episode 16, although this weapon, which he ultimately exchanges for a camera, has an M203 or similar underbarrel grenade launcher attached. Regular troops of the various JSDF branches throughout the series also carry these weapons.
"Futurized" M4/M203
American Empire troops in Kusanagi's multinational UN peacekeeper squad in episode 14's flashback to Mexico in 2020 carry similarly "futurized" carbines that are clearly M16/AR15 family-derived. They are also mounted with hybrid optical/cybernetic sights and M203-like grenade launchers.
"Futurised" L85A2
British troops in Kusanagi's squad in episode 14's flashback to Mexico carry bullpup assault rifles that resemble the L85A2 fitted with AG36-like grenade launchers.
Sniper Rifles
Blaser R93 LRS2
During the flashback story in episode 14, Saito's rifle during the 2020 Mexico engagement is a Blaser R93 LRS2. It is noteable that he alone in this episode uses an "old-fashioned" purely optical sighting system on his rifle.
Walther WA 2000
During the flashback to the 2020 engagement in Mexico, Kusanagi carries a Walther WA 2000 with black polymer furniture and a short barrel. Kusanagi, in contrast to Saito, has had the optical sight replaced by a purely cybernetic sight that interfaces directly with her cyberbrain via the QRS port on her neck.
Seburo Sniper Rifle
Saito's preferred bolt-action .50-caliber rifle from Stand Alone Complex makes a return for 2nd Gig.
Seburo Anti-Tank Rifle
First seen in the second episode of Stand Alone Complex, this this large-calibre anti-materiel rifle is fictitious, but draws upon several real-world designs, primarily the Mechem NTW-20 and the Lahti L-39. Saito loads it with a single round and uses a remote trigger mechanism to blow up a car and cause a diversion so that he can attack from another angle.
Machine Guns
"Futurized" M60
A young Batou is shown during the Mexico 2020 flashback using a machinegun that resembles an M60 of some sort that has been "futurized" in a similar way.
Other Weapons
Anti-tank Rocket Launcher
These weapon dealers also have anti-tank rocket launchers, which resemble SMAW-Ds, although they seem larger in bore diameter, so may be original designs.
FIM-92A Stinger
Dejima Refugees use several FIM-92A Stinger missiles simultaneously to shoot down the JSDF AWACS plane above the island that is jamming communications. The use of several missiles at once overwhelms the anti-missile countermeasures, and the depiction of the explosion is accurate in that the warhead explodes short of the target, destroying it with projected shrapnel from the missile's HE-Frag warhead.
Panzerfaust 3
A handful of the Dejima refugees are carrying anti-tank RPG launchers that strongly resemble the PzF 3.
