			== Togusa's Backup Gun ==

			I was thinking, considering the shape and pattern of the grips, plus some other details that line up, isn't it actually the 2007M from the movie, rather than just a normal 2006M? The barrel ''is'' shorter, but everything else seems pretty similar. --[[User:Yocapo32\|yocapo32]] ([[User talk:Yocapo32\|talk]]) 22:59, 16 May 2021 (EDT)

	This is interesting... the episode is about a rebellious hacker/armed robber who rips off the rich and privileged and has a major web following, and he has a stylized "JD" logo that morphs into something uncannily resembling the Laughing Man symbol from Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, with the same half-circles for eyes above the D as a laughing mouth, and the J resembling the cap shape (although moved a bit to the left). And I doubt it's a coincidence that the character here goes by "JD" (short for Jamie D) and the Laughing Man logo includes a quote from Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger. Plus Jamie D is a hacker who engages in misdirection and hides his true face, while the Laughing Man hacked cameras and cyberbrains to replace his face with his logo. There's no way all of that could be a coincidence -- I'd say we've got an intentional GitS:SAC homage in a place I never would've expected to see one.

			== "Unidentified Pistol" ==

			The "unidentified pistol" appears to be based on a short-barreled M1911 variant with adjustable sights. Compensating for the fact that the weapon is hand-drawn, most of the details seem clearly based on the model 1911 (such as the distinctive slide shape and trigger). Even the rear sight appears to be an approximation of the popular L-shaped adjustable sight commonly seen on 1911 variants. The only components that do not fit the 1911 diagnosis are the slide lock and the safety catch (not to mention the lack of a spring tube for both). The slide lock appears to be a flipped version of the normal 1911 lock, while the safety catch is a much simpler design and seems similarly flipped. I have so far been unsuccessful in finding a 1911 clone that has anything even vaguely resembling the flipped slide lock / safety catch, so I would tentatively suggest that these are mistakes by the artist rather than a depiction of a yet-unknown gun.
