Off the top of my head:
- Blackjack
- Some variants of the Hunchback (look for the ones with the ballistic slot in the right torso)
- POSSIBLY the Hunchback IIC

There are others where if you free look (hold left ctrl by default) then you can see the arms if you wave them around. The Crab and King Crab come to mind

i know a few mechs where you see the weapons directly from your cockpit:

Light
Commando - laser arms
Urbanmech - ballisctic arm

Medium
Hunchbacks with big ballistic guns in torso - it's so big it blocks your view.
Phoenixhawk with laser arms

Heavy
no idea. not a fan of heavies.

Assault
Highlanders with ballistic arms

I would advise against that, for three reasons:
  • They block part of your field of view
  • The muzzle flash on cockpit-level ballistics can be - quite literally - blinding.
  • You're choosing mechs based on aesthetics and not their in-game performance
But if you really want to... take a Jagermech DD and put 4xUAC2 on it.

Roughneck has hunchback like RT weapon mounts. I believe the marauder2 withthe ballistic in the rt is the same, but I'm not sure. I don't run it.

The Summoner's chest PPCs (One of them anyway) is visible. I think certain. Ballistics are visible on the Huntsman as well.

You can't see the King Crabs guns, but you can watch the claws go clackity-clack.

This depends on whether or not you have your field of view set to default, or out to maximum. If you set it to maximum you'll see a LOT more weapons from pretty much any cockpit.

Some quick ones off the top of my head: Keep in mind I might not be running maximum field of view but I do run higher than normal.
Rifleman/Jagermech
Blackjack
King Crab (somewhat, depends on how high you're aiming with the armlock off).
Phoenix Hawk -- probably the coolest thing about this mech is guns in your hands. Weird, I know.
Crab.
Locust -- if you shove a big gun into it, you'll see it. ...Just don't recommend it, the loss of speed and limited ammo can be crippling.
Roughneck.
Thunderbolt.
Griffin.
Wolverine.
Zeus.
Highlander (may need wider field of view, like King Crab you'll see them better when aiming up higher).
Battlemaster (hand and shoulder weapons).

There's plenty more. I run between 75 and 90 FOV.

The arms on my Commando Death Knell can see its weapons, so yes the Commandos can see their weapons.

They are not yet updated to showcase new weapon models, though, as such PPCs and such don't show up correctly and the missile types seem limited. I am hoping it is on the list of mechs receiving updates for it this coming patch (Haven't got time to look at the moment).

No one's mentioned the Dragon yet. I run the 1C with 2 heavy PPCs in the high torso mount, they can be seen right from the cockpit.

Very true. Actually you can take any much in the store, view in mechlab, cockpit and see if you can see the arms.

Not a sure fire thing but if you can see them there you are guaranteed to be able to in battle.

Some in which you can't see the arms in the menu cockpit...may yet be visible in battle.

Thanatos 5S can see one side, the other is covered by the kill count display.
