Range: Standard Melee Range, Tens of Meters with Pistol, Hundreds of Meters with Rifle, Kilometers with T-25101985 Cannon (Her effective firing range should be the greatest among the Defense Force, which should also include Rin Shinonome, as she broke the record for long-distance shooting), up to Hundreds of Kilometers with Keraunos (Can hit moving targets accurately from 20 kilometers away with this weapon, but because Keraunos is an electromagnetic railgun, Mina has the potential to deliver lethal firepower at ranges in excess of 200 nautical miles)

*Gun(s): As a Defense Force officer, Mina is armed with the two types of standard gun weaponry of the Defense Force, a handgun and rifle. The rifle resembled the SIG MCX VIRTUS Patrol, which is outfitted with a red dot magnifier and suppressor. Officers carried handguns that resembled the GLOCK 17 Gen4 and are outfitted with a tactical light and reflex sight. Additionally, Defense Force's gun weaponry are equipped with , a socket that houses kaiju organs with special attributes or secretions. Here are the examples of the AoE that these bullets can produce. Currently, four varieties of Kaiju-enhanced rounds are known: 
**Burst Round: Burst rounds are capable of generating explosions upon contact that are hot enough to melt bonesKaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 and vaporize the body parts, leaving naught but droplets of blood.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 108 These rounds can affect even the Daikaiju class, depending on the level of strength an officer can generate, which is usually captain-grade strength. If these rounds enter a target’s body directly through an entrance, such as a mouthKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 6 or an open wound,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 39 a series of internal explosions occur, eventually accumulating into a single huge explosion that destroy the creature from the inside.
**Freeze Round: Even if an opponent is physically stronger and larger than the user, these rounds have the ability to flash freeze them, encasing the afflicted parts in solid ice.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 72 Additionally, these rounds can also slow down the target's movementsKaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 13 due to the lower temperatures. These rounds have proven to be equally effective against cold-resistant enemies like Wyvern-type Kaiju, potent enough to freeze and defeat them.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 27 Furthermore, these rounds have the ability to thoroughly freeze targets' skin, rendering it less resilient than before and making it easier for strikes to shatter them, when previously they could resist multiple attacks of the same kind.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 2
**Conductor Round: Even if an enemy is physically stronger and largerKaiju No. 8 Vol. 8 Chapter 63 than the user, the targets are rendered paralyzed by these rounds upon impact. Additionally, this sort of round's discharge has the potential to produce chain lightning that extends to nearby targets.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16
**Flash Round: These rounds are essentially used as flares.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 2 Chapter 16Kaiju No. 8 Anime Episode 4
Pet(s):- 
*Bakko: She owns a gray liger named Bakko, which she brings with her to fight Kaiju, and who she uses either as a means to move aroundKaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 1 or to stabilize her cannon for accurate shots.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 30 It is later revealed that Bakko is a wannable Kaiju,Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 103 and thus should possess the abilities of one.
Custom Weapon(s):- 
*Cannon: Marked T-25101985 and provided by Izumo Tech, Mina's cannon in conjunction with her high unleashed combat power with firearms is a powerful weapon that allows her to shoot right through the core hidden within even a Giant-Class Kaiju’s thick flesh, bypass the need to expose it first, the neutralization method that incurs the least amount of harm to civilians and officers.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 95 Furthermore, because custom weapons are only distributed to captains, who are the strongest combatants within their division, as well as officers with exceptional combat skills,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 3 Chapter 26 it can be inferred that they are more powerful than standard Defense Force weaponry, and because this weapon is a gun-type, it should be able to use Kaiju-enhanced rounds but with increased potency. Unfortunately, she can only carry with her a finite number of ammos, requiring Mina to order subsequent batches of artillery shell-filled magazines brought to her.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 4 Chapter 31
*Visor: In order to aid Mina in her sniping, she also has a visor that not only improves her vision and detects any nearby targets, but also calculates coriolis force and gravity force to make sure Mina hits her shots, even when they are 20 kilometers away.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 75Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 76Kaiju No. 8 Anime Episode 6
*Anti-Giant-Class Kaiju Rail Gun: Named Keraunos, this fixed electromagnetic gun is specially made to suit Mina's skills, as she is the only one in the entire world with the level of capacity to use it to its full potential, allowing her to effortlessly kill Super-Giant Class Kaiju even from a 20-kilometer distance.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 75 However, with each shot the railgun fires, the cannon body erodes until the unit will need to be replaced in order to utilize the railgun again.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 76
Intelligence:

It was stated that if the Defense Force had her giant-class disposal abilities, which surpassed even that of the Captain of the First Division, "Japan's Strongest Anti-Kaiju Combatant", Gen Narumi, during the No. 6 Cataclysm, one of the greatest disasters in Japanese history,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 5 Chapter 38Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 7 Chapter 59 they would have likely mitigated damage to under a third of what they incurred.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 76 From her first mission with the Third Division, Mina's extraordinary skill as a super artillery assault specialist was recognized.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 95 When Director General Isao Shinomiya discovered her power, he declared that she was "the missing link" and that she would forever change kaiju neutralization, something he didn't stated with genius fighters like Gen Narumi.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 95 Even Kaiju No. 9, a powerful adversary that could threaten the entirety of the Defense Force with its might and intellect, acknowledges and admires Mina's strength and wants to steal it from her in order to become stronger.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 96 It was stated by Kaiju No. 9 that if it were to absorb and incorporate Mina into its creations, it would be able to give birth to an army of giant No. 6-class Kaiju with superb shooting ability and without Mina as its trump card to confront these giants, humanity will have no way to stop them.Kaiju No. 8 Chapter 98 Isao Shinomiya personally invited her in her teens to join the First Division, a gathering place for elite officers from across the nations, including future captain candidates, because of her extreme skills in kaiju neutralization, imposing presence, and ability to work in teams effectively, placing her at the top of her class alongside her contemporary Gen Narumi prior to awakening RT-0001, whose power is greatly valued so much so that Isao would constantly fight with HQ and prevent them from discharging him.Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 10Kaiju No. 8 B-Side Chapter 12
Captain and Vice-Captain level fighters are stated to be more than capable of defeating a Fortitude 6.4 in solo combat, even though just a Fortitude 6.4 Kaiju is so dangerous that neutralizing just one would require an entire company of general officers from the Third Division.Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 7 General Officers from the Third Division possess Unleashed Combat Powers around 20-30%,Kaiju No. 8 Vol. 1 Chapter 5 making them more skilled than JSDF military officers, such as Aoi Kaguragi, who was recognized as the military's rising star when he first joined the Defense Force, not to mention capable of holding their own against kaijuKaiju No. 8 Vol. 10 Chapter 75 who is not only intelligent enough to predict Soshiro Hoshina’s movement but is fast enough to blitz him and knock him away when using 51% of Numbers Weapon 10's power — meaning that these kaiju are more than capable of blitzing and one-shotting the general officersKaiju No. 8 Vol. 9 Chapter 73 — and neutralize them.
