'''''Cowboy Bebop''''' (カウボーイビバップ) is a 1998 Japanese anime series developed by Sunrise. It featured a production team led by director Shinichirō Watanabe, screenwriter Keiko Nobumoto, character designer Toshihiro Kawamoto, mechanical designer Kimitoshi Yamane, and composer Yoko Kanno. The twenty-six episodes of the series are set in the year 2071. It follows the adventures, misadventures and tragedies of a bounty hunter crew travelling on the Bebop, their starship.
 
The crew is made up of five main characters: Spike Spiegel, an exiled hitman of the ruthless Red Dragon Syndicate; Jet Black, a former ISSP officer who retired following a mob hit that cost him his arm; Faye Valentine, an amnesiac con artist who awakened in the future after a lengthy period of cryogenic hibernation; "Radical" Edward, a barefooted preteen girl who is a prolific computer hacker; and Ein, a hyper-intelligent, genetically-engineered Welsh Corgi dog.

== Jericho 941 R==
 
Spike Spiegel's signature pistol is a customized IMI [[Jericho 941 R]] chambered in 9x19mm. He has installed custom grips and a frame mounted laser sight on the right side, although we never see him use it.


Spike Spiegel's signature pistol is a IMI [[Jericho 941]] on which he has installed custom grips.
The original Jericho 941 came with two barrels for use with either 9mm or .41AE ammunition. A blued steel rod was intended for the 9mm round with a lighter spring, and a stainless steel rod with heavier springs for the larger load of the .41AE round. Spike's Jericho is chambered in 9mm but features a silver recoil spring. We can assume this was either due to artistic license, or part of the modifications Spike made to the gun. Worth noting that many actual owners of a Jericho 941 chambered in 9mm change the stock rod/recoil spring with an aftermarket chrome kit based on the .41 AE version, to reduce recoil and increase rate of fire.

== Walther P99 ==
 
Jet Black's signature pistol is an original-model [[Walther P99]]. Despite a lack of markings, including caliber and importer as contrasted to Spike's Jericho 941, it is specifically identifiable as a 9mm version because the slide has weight reduction cuts at the front, while the .40S&W slide does not. Of all the gun-wielding members of the ''Bebop'''s crew, Jet is perhaps the least likely to be seen with his weapon drawn; preferring instead to get up close and personal with the enhanced strength of his cybernetic arm.
 
The pistol appears to be a holdover from his days as an ISSP officer, since he can be seen using it in a flashback during the episode 'Black Dog Serenade'.

== Glock 30 ==
== Glock 30 ==


Faye's signature pistol in ''Cowboy Bebop'' is a .45 ACP [[Glock#Glock 30|Glock 30]]. Despite her often fiery temper, she rarely draws it, though in one episode can be heard firing it off-screen when Spike goes to confront her while she's using the shower aboard the ''Bebop'', eliciting an amused reaction from Jet. Faye most notably uses it in the final episode, "Real Folk Blues", to shoot out the tires of a car belonging to Red Dragon Syndicate members chasing after Julia and again holding it on Spike when questioning why he's going to face Vicious, firing several rounds into the ceiling of the ''Bebop'' in frustration when she fails to talk him out of it.
Faye's signature pistol is a .45 ACP [[Glock 30]]. She draws the pistol frequently to threaten bounties but is rarely seen firing it, one of the most notable exceptions being in the episode "The Real Folk Blues Part I", when she uses it to shoot out the tires of two cars belonging to the Red Dragon Syndicate during a chase. She later fires several rounds into the ceiling of the ''Bebop'' in frustration when she fails to prevent Spike from leaving on a clear suicide mission.

== Heckler & Koch MP5K ==
== Ruger P85 ==
 
While preparing for the confrontation with Vicious and his men at the church in "Ballad of Fallen Angels", Spike stocks up on weapons, one of the weapons he retrieves is a [[Ruger P85]] that he had kept hidden in the fridge of the ''Bebop''. Though it is shown being loaded and cleaned, it is never seen in use on screen.

== Heckler & Koch USP ==
 
In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", several prisoners aboard the ISSP prison ship can be seen with a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] when they take control, including using one to kill the pilot.
 
Gren also carried one in the two-part episode "Jupiter Jazz" and used it against Vicious. Police forces can also be seen using the pistol in the episode "Jamming With Edward".

== Heckler & Koch Mark 23 ==
 
In the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", ISSP bodyguards can be seen using [[Heckler & Koch Mark 23]] pistols as their sidearms, fitted with AN/PEQ-6 Laser Aiming Modules, which prove to be no match for Mad Pierrot's skill and arsenal.

== Smith & Wesson Model 29 ==
 
In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", Jet's former ISSP partner Fad can be seen using a [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] with a 4 inch barrel as his sidearm, which he keeps in a shoulder holster.

== Beretta 92FS ==
 
Surprisingly given the series' heavy John Woo influence, the [[Beretta 92FS]] is seen in only two episodes. In "Ballad of Fallen Angels", Annie gives Spike a Beretta 92FS with a stainless steel barrel along with a carton of 9x19mm ammo. Spike later dual-wields it with his Jericho during his fight with Vicious and his men.
 
In "The Real Folk Blues Part I", a Red Dragon member uses a Beretta 92FS to fire at Julia and Faye.

== Beretta 950BS Jetfire ==
 
In the episode "Stray Dog Strut", the three scientists after Hakim appear to be using modified [[Beretta 950 Jetfire]]s sporting wood grips and suppressors. Unfortunately, they never get the chance to use them.

== Browning Hi-Power ==


In Faye's debut episode, she uses a [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5K|Heckler & Koch MP5K]] with a 15-round magazine to defend herself from the mobsters she was trying to escape, though is forced to surrender when she finds herself outgunned. It is also used by Red Dragon Syndicate henchmen in "The Real Folks Blues".
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] and its variants seem to be popular weapons in the ''Cowboy Bebop'' universe, appearing in the episodes "Honky Tonk Women", "Ballad of Fallen Angels", and "Ganymede Elegy".

== Heckler & Koch MP5  ==
== Colt Combat Commander ==


In "The Real Folk Blues Part I", Vicious uses a 9mm [[Colt Commander]] to threaten Julia. She later uses it when she and Spike are engaged in a shootout with Red Dragon Syndicate members.

== Hand Held GE M134 Minigun ==
== Walther P5 ==
 
A [[Walther P5]] is used by a bounty named 'Giraffe' in the episode "Sympathy for the Devil".


In Faye's debut episode, the mobsters that capture her force her to surrender when they respond to her MP5K barrage by returning fire with a [[GE M134 Minigun#Hand Held M134 Minigun|hand held GE M134 Minigun]], decimating the Chinese pharmacy she was in but amazingly harming none of the human occupants.
One can also be seen in the hands of one of the gangsters that captures Faye following the shootout at the Chinese pharmacy in "Honky Tonk Women".

Jet Black's signature pistol is a [[Walther P99]]. Of all the gun-wielding members of the ''Bebop'''s crew, Jet is perhaps the least likely to be seen with his weapon drawn.
== SIG-Sauer P226 ==


[[Image:Walther-P99-Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Walther P99 9x19mm]]
Shin (and likely his brother Lin) carries a [[SIG-Sauer P226]] as his weapon of choice.

== Colt Single Action Army ==
== Colt Single Action Army ==


Cowboy Andy used a pair of [[Colt Single Action Army]] revolvers as his main weapons in the episode "Cowboy Funk", keeping with his old west motif. These weapons also appeared in the title sequence of ''Big Shots'', a TV series watched by the protagonists that featured information on various bounties, as well as in the hands of the hosts on occasion.
In the episode "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses a pair of [[Colt Single Action Army]] revolvers as his primary sidearm, in keeping with his old west motif.  
 
The Colt SAA also makes infrequent appearances in the title sequence of ''Big Shot'', the bounty-hunting show featured throughout the series.

== Desert Eagle ==
 
In episode 2, "Stray Dog Strut", Hakim uses a [[Desert Eagle]] to threaten the man who stole his briefcase. The weapon is drawn smaller than normal in his hands, close to the size of a compact pistol, possibly to emphasize Hakim's towering stature.

== Fictional Thompson Contender ==
 
Appearing in only one episode, "Sympathy for the Devil", Spike uses a break-action, single-shot pistol loaded with a custom round made from a rare mineral against the primary antagonist in the climax of the episode.


[[Image:ColtSingleActionArmy.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Colt Single Action Army .45 Long Colt "Artillery model" with 5" barrel]]
Its function and form appears to be based on the [[Thompson Center Arms Contender]], but is entirely fictional, including a cut in the muzzle to act as a compensator.

== MAC-10 ==
== Fictional Colt 1911 ==


In the episode "Gateway Shuffle", a group of environmental terrorists calling themselves the "Space Warriors" can be seen brandishing [[MAC-10#MAC-10|MAC-10]] machine pistols when they assassinate a bounty Spike and Jet had been tracking at a lavish restaraunt. Red Dragon Syndicate members can also be seen with them near the end of the series. Some of the gangsters that capture Faye in her debut episode can also be seen armed with MAC-10's fitted with silencers.
Also appearing only once in the episode "Sympathy for the Devil", this fictional pistol appears to be partially based on the [[M1911]]. Some variety of compensator or barrel weight is attached to the front of the pistol. Beside, magazine capacity is not 7 in real life, but it holds 18-rounds.

== Ruger P89 ==
== Heckler & Koch MP5K ==


During the upcoming confrontation with Vicious and his men at the church, Spike stocks up on weapons, one of the weapons he retrieves is a [[Ruger P-series pistol#Ruger P89|Ruger P89]], that he had kept hidden in the fridge of the ''Bebop''. Though it is shown being loaded and cleaned, it is never seen in use on screen.
In "Honky Tonk Women", Faye's debut episode, she uses a [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] to defend herself from the mobsters she was trying to escape from, though is forced to surrender when they answer her MP5K with their own handheld minigun.  


[[Image:P89.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Ruger P89 9x19mm]]
It is also used by Red Dragon henchmen in "The Real Folks Blues", and briefly seen in a photograph when Jet is describing the history of the 'Space Warriors' (an eco-terrorist group) in "Gateway Shuffle".

When Spike faces Vicious at the church, one of his men fires on him with an [[M79 grenade launcher]], though fails to score a hit and is ultimately killed by Spike. Later on, in the episode: "Mushroom Samba", one of the outlaws (the guy with the Afro) is seen firing an M79  several times during the train chase near the end. In "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses what appears to be a customized, or heavily modified M79 during chase scene with Teddy Bomber. The grenade launcher is fitted with a large lever loop, (a-la ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day|Terminator 2]]''). During the chase, Andy, (after flip cocking it with one hand) fires it at Spikes ship, and misses, but manages to destroy a great amount in private property before he escaped the scene with Faye, leaving a bewildered Spike, and Teddy Bomber behind.

One of the weapons he retrieves is a pistol-gripped [[Remington Model 870 Shotgun|Remington 870]]. Spike loads and uses the gun throughout the gun fight that ensues at Annie's store and on surrounding rooftops with Julia before she is shot, at which point Spike drops the Remington to be at her side.

In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", Jet's corrupt partner Fade uses a [[Heckler & Koch G3#H&K PSG-1|Heckler & Koch PSG-1]] sniper rifle to shoot off Jet's arm in a flashback.
This episode borrows heavily from ''[[Alien]]'', and appears to be partially based on the [[(Aliens) - M240 Flamethrower|M240 Flamethrower]] from its sequel ''[[Aliens]]'', however the similarities are limited.

In the episode "Honky Tonk Women", the mobsters that capture Faye force her to surrender when they respond to her MP5K barrage by returning fire with a handheld [[M134 Minigun]], decimating the Chinese pharmacy she was in.


In the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", the title character can be seen brandishing a [[cane gun]] as his primary weapon, though it appears to be capable of firing numerous rounds (as opposed to real cane guns usually being loaded with only one round) with incredible accuracy, able to shoot out the window of an armored car with repeated hits to the same spot.

In the episode "Sympathy For the Devil", Spike uses a customized [[Thompson Center Arms Contender]] loaded with a custom round with a bullet made from an extremely rare mineral to kill the episode's villain, who through a freak accident has maintained the outside appearance of a young boy while in fact being many decades old. It should be noted that the casing for the round Spike fires is that of a 7.62x39mm round, one of the many calibers that can be used with interchangeable barrels.
In the episode "Jupiter Jazz Part II", a [[ZU-23-2]] is very briefly seen in Gren's flashbacks to his service days with Vicious.

The crew is made up of five main characters: Spike Spiegel, an exiled hitman of the ruthless Red Dragon Syndicate; Jet Black, a former ISSP officer who retired following a mob hit that cost him his arm; Faye Valentine, an amnesiac con artist who awakened in the future after a lengthy period of cryogenic hibernation; "Radical" Edward, a barefooted preteen girl who is a prolific computer hacker; and Ein, a hyper-intelligent, genetically-engineered Welsh Corgi dog.

The following weapons are seen in the anime Cowboy Bebop:


Pistols

Jericho 941 R

Spike Spiegel's signature pistol is a customized IMI Jericho 941 R chambered in 9x19mm. He has installed custom grips and a frame mounted laser sight on the right side, although we never see him use it.

The original Jericho 941 came with two barrels for use with either 9mm or .41AE ammunition. A blued steel rod was intended for the 9mm round with a lighter spring, and a stainless steel rod with heavier springs for the larger load of the .41AE round. Spike's Jericho is chambered in 9mm but features a silver recoil spring. We can assume this was either due to artistic license, or part of the modifications Spike made to the gun. Worth noting that many actual owners of a Jericho 941 chambered in 9mm change the stock rod/recoil spring with an aftermarket chrome kit based on the .41 AE version, to reduce recoil and increase rate of fire.

Walther P99

Jet Black's signature pistol is an original-model Walther P99. Despite a lack of markings, including caliber and importer as contrasted to Spike's Jericho 941, it is specifically identifiable as a 9mm version because the slide has weight reduction cuts at the front, while the .40S&W slide does not. Of all the gun-wielding members of the Bebop's crew, Jet is perhaps the least likely to be seen with his weapon drawn; preferring instead to get up close and personal with the enhanced strength of his cybernetic arm.

The pistol appears to be a holdover from his days as an ISSP officer, since he can be seen using it in a flashback during the episode 'Black Dog Serenade'.

Glock 30

Faye's signature pistol is a .45 ACP Glock 30. She draws the pistol frequently to threaten bounties but is rarely seen firing it, one of the most notable exceptions being in the episode "The Real Folk Blues Part I", when she uses it to shoot out the tires of two cars belonging to the Red Dragon Syndicate during a chase. She later fires several rounds into the ceiling of the Bebop in frustration when she fails to prevent Spike from leaving on a clear suicide mission.

Ruger P85

While preparing for the confrontation with Vicious and his men at the church in "Ballad of Fallen Angels", Spike stocks up on weapons, one of the weapons he retrieves is a Ruger P85 that he had kept hidden in the fridge of the Bebop. Though it is shown being loaded and cleaned, it is never seen in use on screen.

Heckler & Koch USP

In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", several prisoners aboard the ISSP prison ship can be seen with a Heckler & Koch USP when they take control, including using one to kill the pilot.

Gren also carried one in the two-part episode "Jupiter Jazz" and used it against Vicious. Police forces can also be seen using the pistol in the episode "Jamming With Edward".

Heckler & Koch Mark 23

In the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", ISSP bodyguards can be seen using Heckler & Koch Mark 23 pistols as their sidearms, fitted with AN/PEQ-6 Laser Aiming Modules, which prove to be no match for Mad Pierrot's skill and arsenal.

Beretta 92FS

Surprisingly given the series' heavy John Woo influence, the Beretta 92FS is seen in only two episodes. In "Ballad of Fallen Angels", Annie gives Spike a Beretta 92FS with a stainless steel barrel along with a carton of 9x19mm ammo. Spike later dual-wields it with his Jericho during his fight with Vicious and his men.

In "The Real Folk Blues Part I", a Red Dragon member uses a Beretta 92FS to fire at Julia and Faye.

Colt Single Action Army

In the episode "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses a pair of Colt Single Action Army revolvers as his primary sidearm, in keeping with his old west motif.

The Colt SAA also makes infrequent appearances in the title sequence of Big Shot, the bounty-hunting show featured throughout the series.

Fictional Thompson Contender

Appearing in only one episode, "Sympathy for the Devil", Spike uses a break-action, single-shot pistol loaded with a custom round made from a rare mineral against the primary antagonist in the climax of the episode.

Its function and form appears to be based on the Thompson Center Arms Contender, but is entirely fictional, including a cut in the muzzle to act as a compensator.

Also appearing only once in the episode "Sympathy for the Devil", this fictional pistol appears to be partially based on the M1911. Some variety of compensator or barrel weight is attached to the front of the pistol. Beside, magazine capacity is not 7 in real life, but it holds 18-rounds.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5K

In "Honky Tonk Women", Faye's debut episode, she uses a Heckler & Koch MP5K to defend herself from the mobsters she was trying to escape from, though is forced to surrender when they answer her MP5K with their own handheld minigun.

It is also used by Red Dragon henchmen in "The Real Folks Blues", and briefly seen in a photograph when Jet is describing the history of the 'Space Warriors' (an eco-terrorist group) in "Gateway Shuffle".

The Uzi also makes two other minor appearances, once in the episode "Toys in the Attic" where a full-sized Uzi can be seen among the many items Faye has won from Jet, and once in the episode "Pierrot Le Fou", briefly being drawn together with a MAC-10 by Tongpu.

Converted Winchester 1894

In the episode "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses a lever-action grenade launcher during the chase with Teddy Bomber which appears to be at least stylistically based on a Winchester Model 1894.

The grenade launcher is fitted with a large lever loop (a la the earlier Winchester Model 1887 from Terminator 2). In a sequence very reminiscent of the film, Andy draws and flip-cocks the Launcher one handed while riding a horse.

M67 Hand Grenade

In the episode "Ballad of Fallen Angels", Spike empties a paper bag full of M67 hand grenades onto a table while preparing to confront Vicious at the Church, later using them to dispatch several of his men.

Unlike the real M67 grenade, these have grey bodies and no apparent markings.

Appearing in the episode "Toys in the Attic", Spike initially uses this flamethrower to roast some kebabs, but later turns it against an unknown creature incapacitating the crew.

This episode borrows heavily from Alien, and appears to be partially based on the M240 Flamethrower from its sequel Aliens, however the similarities are limited.
