The list of Personnel Weapons, weapons used by the JSSDF or Nerv, was compiled by The Internet Movie Firearms Database[1]. The firearms listed are from the End of Evangelion movie and the TV Series.
Handguns
Browning Hi-Power Mark III
The Browning Hi-Power[2] is the standard-issue sidearm used by JSSDF commandos during their invasion of Nerv during Episode 25'.
CZ-75
The CZ-75B[3] is used by Gendo at the end of Episode 25' when he shoots Ritsuko.
Glock 17
The Glock 17[4] is used by Nerv personnel. During the JSSDF attack, Hyuga retrieves a Glock 17 from his desk. He nervously checks the gun saying to himself "safety off", although the Glock 17 has no external safety. It's possible that this was added by the English dub because the original Japanese apparently doesn't have an equivalent line (unless there's an outside chance he mutters it under his breath), and "safety off" was added to match his lip-flaps when he was talking.[5]
Heckler & Koch USP
Major Misato Katsuragi's gun is the HK USP[6]. She uses it several times during the TV series and during the movie as well as in Yoshiyuki Sadamoto's Evangelion Manga. Misato's USP has a rubber grip on the handle and can fire at least 10 rounds in succession, as seen during the movie when she takes out the 3 JSSDF soldiers that were about to kill Shinji. The 3 variants of the USP can hold more than 10 rounds.
R-92 Revolver
Ritsuko uses a Russian R-92 Revolver as seen during Episode 25' when she points it at Gendo (and Rei Ayanami standing behind him) as she is about to cause the Magi to self destruct.
Sub-Machine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3[7] sub-machine gun is briefly seen during Episode 23, carried by the Nerv HazMat recovery team sent to salvage Evangelion Unit-00's Entry Plug.
Steyr MPi 69
The Steyr MPi 69[8] is used by Nerv personnel. The Nerv security personnel (who were easily overwhelmed by the JSSDF) in Episode 25' and Aoba are seen carrying these sub-machine guns.
Assault Rifles
Heckler & Koch G11
The Heckler & Koch G11[9] assault rifle was used by the JSSDF invasion force during the beginning of Episode 25'. While the G11 program never really caught on and is now considered defunct, it would have been considered "futuristic" in 1997 when End of Evangelion was made because it uses caseless ammunition (Note that during the movie, when JSSDF soldiers fire the rifles, no casings are expelled). Being an advanced prototype from the 1990's, it's reasonable to assume that the rifles may be in wider use by 2015 when the movie took place.[10]
Other Weapons
M2 Flamethrower
A JSSDF soldier uses an American M2 flamethrower[11] to flush-out and kill Nerv personnel in Episode 25'.
Panzerfaust 3
The Panzerfaust 3[12] antitank grenade launcher is used by a JSSDF soldier in Episode 25'.
