The following weapons were used in the anime film The End of Evangelion:


Pistols

Glock 17

The Glock 17 is seen widely within NERV, likely as a standard sidearm for NERV security forces.

Hyuga keeps his Glock 17 in his desk. Note that there is only one spare magazine. It seems that someone thinks stocking up on ammunition is a waste of funds.
Shigeru Aoba: Release the safety.
Maya Ibuki: I can't! I just can't shoot this thing, Aoba!
Shigeru Aoba: Of course you can! You've had basic training!
Maya Ibuki: But I shot at targets, not at other human beings!
Shigeru Aoba: Idiot! You kill or you die!

Hyuga grips his Glock 17.

Heckler & Koch USP

The Heckler & Koch USP, chambered in .45 ACP, is used by NERV officer Major Misato Katsuragi as her personal sidearm. Evangelion Chronicle mentions the specific caliber.

Inglis Hi-Power

The Inglis Hi-Power is the standard-issue sidearm used by the JSSDF. It can be identified as such by its distinctive rear sight.

Submachine Guns

Hybrid Submachine Gun

According to Evangelion Chronicle #22, Aoba's personal submachine gun is a hybrid consisting of parts from a Steyr MPi 69 and the Russian AEK-919K Kashtan. While normally only NERV guards are armed with submachine guns and normal technicians and computer operators are only armed with Glock 17s, command center computer operator Lt. Aoba either manages to get his hands on one or kept one stored in his desk for just such an eventuality.

Maya Ibuki: But I shot at targets, not at other human beings!
Shigeru Aoba: Idiot! You kill or you die!

IMI Uzi

NERV security forces use the IMI Uzi as their standard-issue weapon.

Rifles

Heckler & Koch G11

The Heckler & Koch G11 is the standard weapon of JSSDF commandos when given the order to raid Tokyo-3. The G11's caseless ammunition is accurately depicted, as the JSSDF's G11s never eject casings (as opposed to their Hi-Powers, which do); its reciprocating magazine, on the other hand, is not.

Machine Guns

MAS NF-1

The MAS NF-1, which is a variant of the AA-52 machine gun mounted on French-made military vehicles, is seen mounted in a co-axial position on JSSDF AMX-10RCs as they lay a bombardment on Nerv HQ in the beginning of the movie.
