It boast a wide range of custom features, including custom frame contours, texturing on the front of the trigger-guard, a custom barrel weight and compensator, and a ring hammer.

===Unidentified Handguns===
The criminal in the first episode uses an unidentified handgun to hold a restaurant owner hostage.
An M1911-esque pistol and the grip of a revolver can be seen in the bag of confiscated weapons in the police office.
This reoccurring design is first seen in Act 1, where it is outfitted with a sound suppressor, and then is featured more prominently in Act 4. The design draws heavily from the S&W 39 series pistols.
Members of the Newport Police Department are armed with an unidentified type of revolver.
Charon, Leona's old partner, uses this handgun during a flashback sequence in Act 2.
==Submachine Guns==
===MAC-11===
Leona Ozaki's weapon of choice is a MAC-11 submachine gun chambered for .380 ACP/9mm Short. She occasionally uses non-lethal "stun rounds" (likely rubber bullets) to subdue criminals. Another MAC-11 is seen during Act 2 in the hands of a criminal during a flashback sequence.
===Steyr TMP===
A Steyr TMP can be seen among the confiscated weapons in the first episode.
===Heckler & Koch MP5K===

==Rifles==
===AK-47===
Several AK-47 rifles can be seen throughout the series. At least one of these rifles belongs to the Tank Police Squad. More AK-47s can be seen in Act 5 in the hands of various criminals during a crime wave.
===AKMS===
A discarded AKMS can be seen at a crime scene in Act 5.
===Seburo MN-23===
Nam is seen cleaning several Seburo MN-23 rifles. Another MN-23 makes a brief appearance in Act 4 in the hands of a criminal. The MN-23 was originally designed by Masamune Shirow as a commissioned design for Poseidon.co.jp (a manufacturer of replica resin kits of anime and manga weapons) as a cosmetic upgrade for the then-new electric airsoft version of the FAMAS assault rifle produced by Tokyo Marui. The original "backstory" of the gun specifies that it was intended as a less-than-lethal police riot control weapon, but since then has been used on multiple occasions (usually in adaptations of Shirow's manga) as a 5.56x45mm assault rifle. New Dominion Tank Police is the first instance of the MN-23 making an appearance as an actual assault rifle as opposed to a riot-control weapon.

During Act 3, several Newport City Police Officers are seen using a fictitious bullpup rifle. The weapons aesthetic design seems to be primarily inspired by the Mossberg Bullpup shotgun.

===Security Rifle===
The MPs at the air base in Act 6 use a fictional assault rifle.
