Trigun (Japanese: トライガン, Hepburn: Toraigan) is a Japanese anime based on the manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. Trigun was first serialized in Tokuma Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Captain from April 1995 to January 1997. The series continued its publication in Shōnen Gahosha's seinen manga magazine Young King OURs, under the title Trigun Maximum, from October 1997 to March 2007. Trigun was adapted into a twenty-six episode anime television series by Madhouse; it aired on TV Tokyo from April to September 1998.

Set on a desert planet called "Gunsmoke", populated by small towns of human settlers, Trigun follows Vash the Stampede, an outlaw known as the "Humanoid Typhoon" with a 60,000,000,000$$ ("double dollar") bounty on his head. The show draws heavily from the Hollywood portrayal of the American frontier (especially Spaghetti Westerns) and relies heavily on guns and gunplay, boasting a wide array of firearms ranging from real-world models to carefully designed fictional firearms. The series is notable for being one of the major anime titles in the U.S. in the late '90s and early 2000s, where it gained (and still maintains) far more popularity than in its native Japan.

A movie spinoff called Trigun: Badlands Rumble was released in 2010, which was based on the manga, but has several elements taken from the anime.

Note: Many of the weapons in the series are based on real-world designs but have been modified to appear more futuristic. Most modifications are largely cosmetic and will simply be noted as "Futuristic" in the section header.

The following weapons appear in the anime Trigun:

Handguns

AGL Arms Factory .45 Long Colt (EF Auto Ejecting, Double Action) (Vash's Revolver)

Trigun's most iconic weapon is a fictional double-action, full-sized revolver chambered for .45 Long Colt. It possesses a 6 o' clock position barrel similar to a Mateba Autorevolver, and a break-top mechanism similar to a Schofield Model 3.

The revolver's internal operation is somewhat unclear. The barrel mates up with the lowest chamber of the cylinder, but when fired, the hammer does not appear to be striking the round in that chamber. There may be an internal mechanism that redirects the force of the hammer down to the correct round. It appears to be styled in this way to keep the gun looking more conventional, instead of having the more unusual-looking hammers of the Mateba handguns. It sports an auto-ejector and thumb-activated cylinder releases on both sides of the frame, making the weapon very quick and easy to reload and allowing it to be used with either hand. The gun houses a Plant module on the upper part of the gun (hence the 6 o' clock barrel), which when activated transforms it into a super destructive weapon that fires beams capable of destroying entire cities.

At least two of these weapons exist in the series, the first belonging to Vash the Stampede, the other to his brother, Knives. While Knives claims to have "made" them, it is unclear if this means that he designed and built the two revolvers from scratch (suggesting that the "AGL Arms Factory" markings on the barrel weight are simply a coy reference to the "Angel Arms" system), or if they were manufactured by a regular weapons producer and that when Knives claims to have made them he is simply referring to the addition of the Plant modules over the barrels. Whichever is the case, they are most certainly rare specimens, as no other examples outside of these two are seen in the show.

The most distinguishing feature about these weapons is the cocking lever; the front of the triggerguard is separate from the rest of the triggerguard and is attached directly to the slide. This allows the shooter to rack the slide with their shooting hand, allowing the pistol to be used completely one-handed.
