Ghost in the Shell (1995)
| ||||||||||||||||||||
Ghost in the Shell is the 1995 anime feature film based on the manga title of the same name by Masamune Shirow. Set in the year 2029, where Earth is interconnected in every aspect of life, the film follows Major Motoko Kusanagi, who is part of Section 9, a security agency tasked with locating a mysterious hacker known as the Puppet Master. The film would spawn a film series as well as a 2017 feature film adaptation that stars Scarlett Johansson.
The following weapons were used in the film Ghost in the Shell:
Handguns
CZ 100
Major Motoko Kusanagi and the other members of Section 9 carry CZ 100 handguns, but again, they are only loosely based on the actual CZ 100, as the sides of the slide are squared off while the real model features bevelings on the slide. She also refers to it as a Zastava, confusing the CZ acronym of the former Yugoslavian gun making firm Crvena Zastava with the CZ of the real gun's manufacturer, Ceska Zbrojovka Uhersky Brod.
Mateba 2006M
Togusa carries yet another slightly fictionalized version of a real gun, the Mateba M-M2007, a near identical variant of the Mateba 2006M. It should be noted that the film's subtitles and the English dub incorrectly translate "Mateba" as "Matever".
IMI Jericho 941 Semi-Compact
Batou carries a IMI Jericho 941 Semi-Compact, although it is identified as a "Jericho 942" and is supposedly chambered in .50 AE. Yet another fictional depiction of an actual gun. Batou is seen with a similar pistol in the sequel, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence.
Submachine Guns
IMI Micro Uzi
The hacker uses a (yet again fictional) modified Chinese copy of the IMI Micro Uzi with a different stock bracket and MAC-10-style front grip strap, loaded with "hyper-velocity ammunition" to destroy an armored van.
Steyr SPP
The diplomat's bodyguards that fire at police officers are armed with Steyr SPPs modified for fully automatic fire, attached to briefcase frames that drop clear at the press of a button.
Steyr TMP
The police officers that enter the diplomat's apartment in the film's opening wield Steyr TMPs.
CZN-M22
Motoko Kusanagi carries a fictional Crvena Zastava Nosle M22, a fictional submachine gun conceptually based on the FN P90 (and chambered in the same 5.7x28mm SS190 round). The CZN-M22's lower receiver resembles an AR-15 and uses a bottom loading bullpup system rather than the top loading system of the actual FN P90. The case in which she carries the weapon contains accessories including a sling, a bayonet, a sound suppressor and 40mm grenade launcher which replaces the foregrip.
Rifles
SIG SG 543
Section 6's Staff use SIG SG 543 assault rifles. The official artbook refers to this as a "SG541 Carbine".
PGM Ultima Ratio
Section 6's snipers use rifles that resemble PGM Ultima Ratios.
Mauser SR-93
Section 9's snipers use rifles that resemble Mauser SR-93s.

Other
Fictional Machine Gun
A fictional machine gun is seen mounted on the Section 9 helicopter, but it cannot be identified due to being in an enclosed turret.
Fictional Gatling Guns
The Tank is equipped with two arm mounted three-barreled Gatling guns, likely based on the General Dynamics M197 Vulcan.
