ARMS, ARTILLERY, WEAPONRY shown in Military Anime Attack on Titan a.k.a Shingeki no Kyojin
It is mention worthy & appreciable how the author of AoT/SnK, Hajime Isayama has come up with ideas of other war type equipments & gears apart from the traditional war weapons like rifles & cannons. Here are some of them listed below to present a brief & basic idea.
OBJECT: Weapon
PURPOSE: Multi
TYPE: Aggressive
USERS: Military
1. 3D ODM Maneouvre Gear
The Omni Directional Mobility Gear, is a set of equipment developed by humans that allows great mobility when facing the Titans in combat. The equipment allows the user to fight in a 3D space as opposed to a 2D one. The equipment itself takes the form of a body harness that encompasses much of the body below the neck.
Some tools involved in the apparatus include:
• Hand grips
• Piston-shot grapple-hooks
• Gas-powered mechanism
• Iron wire propeller with plug-in blades
Basic Engineering knowledge required to comprehend the mechanism of this gear.
2. Double Ultrahard Steel Blade
Ultrahard steel is a material that is used in the making of blades capable of piercing and cutting the skin of Titans.
3. Special Target Capture Weapon
The special target restraining weapon is a tool that is developed by the Scout Regiment for the purpose of capturing specific Titans.
Design:
The design for the special target restraining weapon was derived from the developmental discoveries associated with the hand cannon firearm. Each barrel has seven steel tubes, each of which has coiled wires with arrowheads at both ends. Due to 6 barrels being deployed in a normal set, it only takes a few stacks to stop even a fifteen-meter class Titan from moving and only 5 or 6 stacks to make it completely immobilized. Due to the exact design of the hooks, as the Titan regenerates, the hooks become lodged more securely.

Part 2:
4. Flare Guns & Rifles (Firearms)
Flare guns: For distant communication by signalling among comrades during a mission.
Rifles: For killing people & wounding Titans.
5. Cannon Firing System / Wall-mounted Artillery
Wall-mounted Artillery was the primary weapon used to engage the Titans before the development of vertical maneuvering equipment.
Ammunition:
In Paradis, two types of Cannons used are:
• High Explosive Shells
• Grapeshots
(Primitive ammunition type)
In Marley & Mid-East, two types of Cannons used are:
• Armour Piercing Shell
• Howitzer Shell
(Modern Military ammunition type)
On Arms & Ammunitions,
I, in no possible way, do promote or support war or violence. This is merely a fan blog of an otaku, who shall always be enticed by the mechanism, engineering & working principle of aggressive weapons being shown in Military Anime Series.
Thank You.🌸
