A nonexastive list of equipment in use on December 31st, 1912. I'll update anything additional in follow up posts, wanted to get this out there for comment.

Rifles
Imperial Arsenal Model 1891: The current standard issue rifle of the Imperial Army and Marines. Bolt action with a 6-round clip. Chambered in a 6.5x52mm cartridge, the IA-91 is produced in two main variants, a standard rifle with a 30.7 inch barrel, and a carbine with a 17.7 inch barrel. There are various special production variants for specific duties, such as sharpshooting.
Lebel Model 1886: A limited production weapon. Chambered in a 8x50mm cartridge that was not adopted by the Army. Primary procurement was by the Marines, and Marine sharpshooters tend to prefer the weapon to the IA-91. The weapon has found success on the export market.

Pistols
Wessex Arsenal Model 1899: The current standard issue sidearm of the Imperial Army. Revolver action with a 6-round drum. Chambered in a 9x20mm cartridge, the WA-99 is the latest variant of this pistol. Older variants have served at the standard issue Army sidearm, and the weapon has a healthy civilian market
St. Etienne Model 1892: The previous standard issue sidearm of the Imperial Marines. Revolver action with a 6-round drum. Chambered in an 8x27mm cartridge, the SE-92, the stopping power of this weapon has been found wanting in close quarters. Commonly found with ship's companies.
Budapest Arsenal Model 1912: The Imperial Marines recently signed a contract to procure this weapon as their new standard issue sidearm. Recoil operated semi-automatic with an 8 round stripper clip. Chambered in a 9x19mm cartridge, the BA-12 is the first semi-automatic pistol to be adopted by a branch of the Roman military. Talks are underway to offer the weapon to the Army as well.

Machine Guns & Automatic Rifles
Schneider Model 1907: An automatic rifle adopted by both the Army and Marines. Long recoil action with gas assist, 16 or 20 round magazines. Chambered in 6.5x52mm. Adopted as an ultralight machine gun, the weapon has proven unreliable a best. A redesigned version to correct the flaws is under development.
Hotchkiss Model 1909: A light machine gun adopted by both the Army and Marines. Gas-operated with strip or belt feeds available up to 30 rounds. Chambered in 6.5x52mm. Serves as the primary man-portable automatic weapon of the Army and Marines. Limited by it's ammunition capacity, the weapon provides almost all of the rifle-caliber automatic capabilities.
Naylor Model 1912: A medium machine gun recently adopted by both the Army and Marines. Recoil with gas boost action, variable belt feeds (250 rounds standard issue). Chambered in 6.5x52mm. Recently acquired by both the Army and Marines, the Naylor Model 1912 is poised to become the primary machine gun of both forces. While not as portable as the Hotchkiss Model 1909, it boasts a much better ammunition capacity and reliability.

Field Artillery
Cannon 65/20 Model 1906: An ultralight field gun used by alpine units and the Roman Marines. Fires a 4.4kg shell in both HE and shrapnel.  Rate of fire up to 18rpm. Features an extremely portable carriage that can be limbered and unlimbered quickly and packed by a comparatively small team of men and draft animals.
Cannon 75/32 Model 1897: The primary light field artillery piece of the Roman Army. The first mass produced artillery to feature hydropneumatic recoil system. Fires a 5.4kg HE shell or a 7.25kg shrapnel shell. Designed for support of infantry and calvary in the open field, this weapon can reach an incredible 30rpm with a skilled crew for a short period of time, with a continuous 3-4rpm over an extended period.
Cannon 105/10.5 Model 1909: The heaviest gun used by alpine units and the Roman Marines. Fires a 12kg shell in both HE and shrapnel.  Rate of fire up to 5rpm. Packable by small team of men and draft animals.
Cannon 105/28.5 Model 1910: The most numerous medium field artillery piece in service with the Army. Fires a 15.7kg shell in both HE and shrapnel. Rate of fire up to 5rpm.
