I remember the anime series revolving around two girls, an older and a younger
one. The younger one was some kind of android of sorts and she was sad because
she wanted a heart.

The girls were both dressed as maids and the younger girl had short orange
hair.

It was an older anime for sure, I must have watched it around late 90's or
early 00's.

At the end of the anime, the younger android girl went into some kind of
facility, probably a government facility, for some reason.

I vividly remember the ending being a bit violent, the older girl (I think she
was an android too but with a heart) came to save the younger girl and they
were falling down a huge circular pit type thing while being shot at.

I am pretty sure they survived but I cannot remember the name!

Looking for an old anime about two (android?) girls in search of a heart

This sounds like [Mahoromatic
2](http://myanimelist.net/anime/277/Mahoromatic_2) (Something more beautiful),
the second season of the series which involves battle androids (dressed as
Maids in the case of these 2) and spans 14 episodes.

From the [Wikipedia entry](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahoromatic) for
Minawa, the orange-haired younger android:

> Minawa is first introduced in Mahoromatic ~Something More Beautiful~. Clumsy
> and anemic, she ends up living with Mahoro and Suguru and going to school
> under the pretext of being Mahoro's younger sister. She has a habit of
> apologizing for everything she does, even if she has done nothing wrong. She
> claims to be a runaway member of The Management, but is later revealed to
> have been sent to gather information on VESPER's battle android Mahoro after
> being promised a heart in return. Mahoro, however, convinces her that the
> fact that she can cry means she already has a heart.

The original series aired in 2001, but the one with Minawa, the orange-haired
girl aired in 2002. The first series didn't have Minawa in it.

Episode 10:

> Where the enemy android from The Management tells Minawa that it's time for
> her to hold up her end of the bargain, so she kidnaps Suguru (the male lead)
> and takes him to the laboratory (where the large cylindrical room is).
> Mahoro comes to save him but is captured, then Minawa has a change of heart
> and frees everyone but gets shot in the process.

The ending of the 2nd season:

> Is pretty violent as a culmination of both Mahoro's lifespan ending and the
> final battle. It's also pretty sad as well as controversial for an ending.
