Rebuild of Evangelion is a four-film series from Studio Gainax that is a remake of the Neon Genesis Evangelion television series. Each movie is given a numerical designation (1.0, 2.0, etc.) upon its theatrical release. The number is then amended (1.1, 1.11, etc.) for its home video releases as more footage is added.

Currently three of four Rebuild films have been released and the fourth is slated for a future release.

Evangelion: 1.XX You Are (Not) Alone
Evangelion: 2.XX You Can (Not) Advance

Submachine Guns

Heckler and Koch MP7A1

NERV Tactical soldiers can be seen armed with what appear to be Heckler & Koch MP7A1 submachine guns.

Machine Guns

Browning/Sumitomo M2HB

The Browning/Sumitomo M2HB is seen in the first three movies used in UN Army military vehicles.

UNA Type 74 MBTs await Sachiel's arrival, the M2s mounted on top of the turret. This scene is homage to the first episode of NGE.

UNA MBTs fire a tank volley on Sachiel after NERV detects its presence. These are probably supposed to be Type 10s, though they bear little resemblance to the real tank.

What appears to be a UNA Type 10 MBT is parked in a parking lot. You can see the mounted M2HB as an anti-personnel/aircraft weapon.
