It has a 21" barrel from the Comp model, Nordic MXT +3 Extension Kit, Mesa Tactical Urbino Pistol Grip Stock + Riser (the buttpad doesn't seem to be based on any particular butt they make for their 1301 stock), Mesa Tactical SureShell Aluminum Carrier And Rail, and seemingly fictional choke and a fictional smooth version of the Rowe Tactical OEM Charging Handle.
Fabarm SDASS
Igusa Haruka uses a black Fabarm SDASS shotgun, which is named "Blow Away". It is modified with a fictional spikes atop the barrel, violet fore end and stock, TiN coated bolt, and optic which somewhat resembles a spiked Leupold Freedom Red Dot Sight without the elevation adjustment knob.

It is customized with an all black stock with kitsune mask decal, red handguard with a cherry blossom pattern, golden trigger, trigger guard, rear and front sights and barrel. The Type 30 Bayonet has a custom hilt plus a tassel, however as with the game, the bayonet is mounted in a completely fictitious manner.
Beretta AR-70/223
Kuromi Serika uses a Beretta AR-70/223, which is named "Sincerity". It is equipped with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 Riflescope (on semi-fictionalized Vortex Rings), which is mounted to a fictional piece of picatinny rail (possibly mounted on the scope mount rails). Its receiver, gas tube and barrel are colored white. The handguard is mostly the same, albeit it wraps around the top of the barrel as well unlike in reality. The magazine is incorrectly depicted as a STANAG magazine instead of the proprietary AR-70/223 magazine, while also having a fictional floor plate. In addition, the artist appears to have confused the top half of the magazine for part of the rifle's receiver (this seems to have been a carry over from the game, as in the game during her EX Skill the same mistakes regarding the magazine appear).
FN SCAR-L
During EP2, a sign above the vending machines has a silhouette of an FN SCAR-L.
Karabiner 98k
Shiromi Iori uses a Karabiner 98k, which is named "Crack Shot". It has a spiked cheek rest, which defeats the entire purpose of a cheek rest.

Sunaookami Shiroko uses a custom all white SIG-Sauer SIG556 Classic rifle, which is named "WHITE FANG 465". It is modified to fire full auto, and is equipped with a fictional handguard (which appears to be a hybrid of the Classic handguard and the Magpul MOE handguard), SUSAT L9A1 Telescopic Sight, Knight’s Armament Forward Pistol Grip and SIG-Sauer SRD 556 QD suppressor. Black versions of her rifle appear in the hands of Helmet Gang members with the same modifications as Shiroko's SIG556. For some reason they still have the mounts for the SUSAT sights but actual optics (in-game, the Helmet Gang Captains usually have the optic versions). All rifles appear to lack charging handles, with there instead being a strange flush nub on the bolt, despite both the real life rifles and the in-game rifles having them.
