His main equipment is his slingshot but Usopp is an expert when it comes to naval artillery as well.
His marksmanship was well showcased when he managed to hit Spandam and other Marines from a far distance.

Jigen is also very knowledgeable when it comes to firearms but his favorite model is model 19.
