Hunter X Hunter (October 2, 2011 - September 24, 2014)

Hunter X Hunter (pronounced "Hunter Hunter", without the "X") is a 2011 anime series produced by Madhouse, based on Yoshihiro Togashi's famous, and frequently on hiatus, manga series of the same name. Set in a fictional world (whose map looks conspicuously like the real world's rearranged), the story centers around Gon Freecss, a 12-year-old boy who seeks to join the exclusive, prestigious Hunter Association (a group composed of exceptionally capable individuals in a variety of fields, ranging from exploration to bounty hunting to cooking), in an effort to find his absent father, a noted member of the group. Soon after he begins, he is joined by 3 other aspiring hunters - Killua Zoldyck (another 12-year-old boy, and also an accomplished ex-hitman-for-hire), Kurapika Kurta (a 17-year-old seeking to avenge the murder of his family), and Leorio Paradinight (a 19-year-old who primarily wants access to the organization's funding, so he can go to medical school).

The following weapons were used in the anime series Hunter X Hunter (2011):

 Pakunoda briefly uses an [[IMI Desert Eagle]] in Episode 51. A guard in Episode 52 uses one in a continuity error, and Zenji also uses one in Episode 53 ("Fake X And X Psyche"). Some were also apparently owned by members of Gyro's drug cartel (though no living member is seen with one); at least two are collected and used by a Chimera Ant in Episode 80 ("Evil X And X Terrible").

 ==Ikalgo's Rifle==
-Ikalgo, another Chimera Ant, has the ability to turn his tentacles into an air rifle; first seen in Episode 100 ("Tracking X And X Pursuit"), he uses this as part of a Nen ability called "Fleadom", which allows him to fire giant, anticoagulant-secreting fleas at targets several hundred meters away. Upon being isolated from his puppet, Ikalgo's rifle takes on a noticeably different design, with a smaller receiver and shorter barrel; it also apparently gains the ability to fire ordinary-looking (though still organic and air-propelled) centerfire rounds, loaded through a port on top of the receiver. (NOTE: It's definitely based on something real - especially the muzzle brake, it's too specific to not be - but I can't figure out what, so suggestions would be appreciated.)
