Evangelion Ranged Weapons
Evangelion long-distance weapons are used to (optimally) attack from afar.
Within the Show
Pallet Gun (or "Pallet Rifle") (パレットライフル): Resembles a Steyr ACR combat rifle. The standard-issue rifle used by Evangelion Units. This giant automatic rifle is proportionately sized to match the Evas, so an Eva can wield the rifle just as a human could wield a standard-sized automatic rifle.
Its not entirely clear why it is called a "Pallet" Gun, of all things. Bonus materials and production notes never explain this choice of name, but do refer to it directly as a "Pallet Gun".
- 03: Eva-01 against Shamshel; ineffective.
- 09: Eva-01 against Israfel (ineffective), then as part of synchronized attack.
- 11: Eva-01 against Matarael; mortal blow.
- 18: Eva-00 and Eva-01 both sortied with; used by neither
- 19: Eva-02 against Zeruel, dual-wielded; ineffective.
- 23: Eva-01 sortied with; not used.
Handgun (ハンドガン): Resembles a Desert Eagle.
- 16: Eva-01 against Leliel; ineffective.
Sniper Rifle (スナイパーライフル): Eva-00's weapon of choice.
- 16: Eva-00 against Leliel; doesn't contact.
- 23: Eva-00 against Armisael; ineffective.
Bazooka (バズーカ)
- 18: Eva-02 sortied with; not used.
Hand Bazooka (ハンドバズーカ): Also called "Launcher Gun" (ランチャー銃).
- 19: Eva-02 against Zeruel, dual-wielded; ineffective.
Positron Rifle (???) Shoulder-mounted.
- 09: Eva-02 against Israfel; limited effect or ineffective.
Positron Rifle (20x, toroidal accelerator): Shoulder-mounted. Capable of firing rounds into low Earth-orbit, though the power of the shots diminishes to being ineffective at such a long range. Not a very mobile weapon, as relies on an external power cable to power its function. It still uses a finite amount of ammunition, about 8 rounds.
- 06: Seen but not used.
- 22: Eva-02 against Arael; doesn't contact.
Positron Sniper Rifle: Originally pilfered from JSSDF labs.
- 06: Eva-01 against Ramiel; mortal blow.
Positron Sniper Rifle (Modified, Lower Power?): Upgraded, modified, or Eva-specific version of the weapon used against Ramiel.
- 22: Eva-00 against Arael; ineffective due to range and power limitations.
Others
Gatling Gun (ガトリングガン): Appears in Evangelion 1.0: You Are (Not) Alone. Used by Eva-01 against Shamshel.
