5 inch/25 MK. 11 DP Gun
This was primarily used against aircraft. The open mounts made the gun crews vulnerable to strafing and splinters.

.50 Water-cooled Heavy Machine Gun (HMG)
Eight were mounted for defense against low flying aircraft but proved ineffective due to limited range and hitting power.
(These renderings are not drawn in great detail given the overall scale of the model.)

Though Arizona was scheduled to mount four 1.1 inch Quadruple Machine Guns only the foundations, splinter shields, ammunition hoists, and ready service lockers were installed on December 7th.
