The End of Evangelion (1997)
The following weapons were used in the anime film The End of Evangelion:
Pistols
CZ-75B
Gendo Ikari pulls a CZ-75B on Ritsuko during their final confrontation.
"Ritsuko Akagi, the truth is..." Glock 17
The Glock 17 is seen widely within NERV, likely as a standard sidearm for NERV security forces, including computer technicians First Lieutenants Makoto Hyuga and Shigeru Aoba, the latter handing one (or possibly his own) to Maya Ibuki.
Glock 17 (Generation 1) - 9x19mm
Hyuga keeps his Glock 17 in his desk. Note that there is only one spare magazine due to “defence budget cuts”. It seems that someone thinks stocking up on ammunition is a waste of funds.
We’re at a disadvantage. We don’t have decent anti-personnel defences. Hyuga checks his Glock 17.
Hyuga holds his Glock 17 as he prepares to defend himself and his comrades.
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! Ibuki reluctantly holds a Glock 17 given by Aoba.
Heckler & Koch USP45
NERV officer Major Misato Katsuragi uses a Heckler & Koch USP as her personal sidearm in the film to defend Tokyo 3’s NERV Headquarters. In the series her USP is chambered in .40 S&W, but in concept art and for the film shows it as being chambered in .45 ACP.
Heckler & Koch USP - .45 ACP
Misato pulls out her USP45 after receiving word that Japanese Strategic Self-Defense Force soldiers have started their raid on Tokyo-3. The slightly longer slide/barrel, rail under the dust cover and the various safeties are visible.
The grip and magazine of Misato’s USP45. The magazine floor ramp and slightly longer grip are traits of the .45 model.
Misato checks the magazine in her USP which shows the wide magazine for .45 ACP and rather small round count witness holes.
Misato pulls the USP slide to chamber a round.
Nothing personal here either. Misato holds her USP under a JSSDF soldier’s chin.
Browning Hi-Power MK III
The Browning Hi-Power is the standard-issue sidearm used by the JSSDF being seen holstered and drawn. In the manga, some JSSDF soldiers carried the Walther P99 pistol.
Browning Hi-Power - 9x19mm Parabellum
JSSDF commandos invading NERV HQ armed with HK G11s rifles and Browning Hi-Power pistols. Note the pistol carried by the soldier on the right lacks a sight hump (seen on Inglis Hi Powers), and has a flat top slide.
A Browning Hi Power is seen in the JSSDF soldier’s holster on the left. Unlike the soldier with the pistol drawn, this soldier’s pistol is better detailed showing the Hi Power’s top slide line ramp with the non raised rear sight and black plastic contoured grips.

The JSSDF soldier crouching has a Hi Power holstered on his belt behind him. The black contoured grips are better visible here.
Inglis Hi-Power
Along with the standard Browning Hi Power, a Canadian Inglis Hi-Power is drawn by a JSSDF soldier attempting to eliminate Shinji Ikari. It can be identified as such by its distinctive rear sight. In the manga, this same JSSDF soldier draws a Gen 2 Glock 17.
Sorry kid, nothing personal. A JSSDF soldier puts an Inglis Hi-Power to Shinji's head. The humped rear sight indicative of an Ingis-made pistol can clearly be seen as well as the gun’s brown flat grips.
Revolvers
R-92
Ritsuko Akagi uses a R-92 revolver, which she hides in the pocket of her lab coat during her confrontation with Gendo inside Terminal Dogma.
R-92 revolver - 9x18mm Makarov
Ritsuko draws her R-92 from her lab coat.
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.
AEK-919s of first (1994), second (1995), and third (1999) generations - 9x18mm Makarov
Steyr MPi69 Submachine Gun - 9x19mm
Just basic counter-terrorism stuff. Shigeru Aoba brings out his hybrid SMG, additional with two stick magazines on his computer chair.

Aoba takes shelter behind his desk to dodge incoming fire while reloading his SMG.

IMI Uzi
NERV security forces use the IMI Uzi as their standard-issue weapon.
IMI Uzi with folding stock - 9x19mm
A NERV guard holding a Uzi submachine gun gets “stabbed in the back” from a Government JSSDF soldier who somehow managed to sneak up on the guard without being detected.
NERV guards armed with Uzis as they communicate in confusion.
Rifles
Heckler & Koch G11
The Heckler & Koch G11 is the standard weapon of Japanese Strategic Self Defence Force soldiers when given the order to raid the NERV Headquarters in 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.
Heckler & Koch G11 Prototype 13 - 4.73x33mm
Waves of JSSDF soldiers armed with HK G11s invade NERV HQ.
A JSSDF soldier battling through the corridors of NERV HQ with a HK G11. Note that the animators appear to have mistook the G11's magazine for a fixed part of the gun and drawn it flush with the rest of the gun.

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.
MAS AA-52 in coaxial configuration - 7.5x54mm French

Sumitomo M2
JSSDF Mitsubishi Type 74 MBTs are armed with the Sumitomo M2, the licensed-made version of the Browning M2 as the secondary weapon.
Browning M2HB - .50 BMG. The Sumitomo M2HB is a license-made version of the Browning M2HB for Japanese use only.

Sumitomo Type 74
The Sumitomo Type 74, the co-axial machine gun version of the Sumitomo Type 62 GPMG, is mounted on Type 74 MBTs in a co-axial position.

Other Weapons
