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.

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 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; preferring instead to rely on the cybernetically-enhanced strength of his prosthetic arm.
+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 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 two cars 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 USP ==
-In the episode "Black Dog Serenade", a prisioner on an ISSP prision ship can be seen with a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] handgun when the prisioners take over the ship. He first uses it to kill the pilot of the ship and then to threaten a fellow prisioner. Gren used one to shoot at Vicious in Jupiter Jazz pt. 2. It's also used by Earth policemen in episode 9, "Jammin' With Edward", as well as Europan police in "Mushroom Samba".

-== Fictional Multi-Barrel Grenade Launcher ==
-In episode 20, "Pierrot Le Fou", Pierrot uses a fictional multi-barrel grenade launcher, somewhat similar in design to a Pepperbox Revolver. It has five barrels, staggered vertically, which seems like an odd design choice. Then again, it's possible that Pierrot designed it himself.

+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]].
-In "Cowboy Funk", Cowboy Andy uses what appears to be a heavily modified 1894 converted to launch grenades, during a 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.
+The grenade launcher is fitted with a large lever loop (a la the earlier [[Winchester Model 1887]] from ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day|Terminator 2]]''). In a sequence very reminiscent of the film, Andy draws and flip-cocks the Launcher one handed while riding a horse.
