Re: rally's sleeve gun
This article seems to be conflating the manga and anime versions, however, since it's been a while since I watched it, I don't like to disrupt things I'm not certain of. I don't recall the details as the anime presents them, but in the manga, in fact, the Colt .25 is a gun that Rally keeps under her pillow at night - it only appears in the manga issue where she is kept in hospital overnight and can't sleep without its familiar feel and smell under her pillow. Her sleeve-mounted gun is a Czech-made Duo (like this one), also in .25 (or 6.35mm) and can be distinguished from the Colt .25 by its sawnoff trigger guard, while the Colt still has a trigger guard. At a later stage in the manga's story she bemoans all her guns being confiscated by the police, in which she refers to the Duo by name.
Also, (IIRC) the anime and manga differ regarding her spring-rigged sleeve armature, in that in the manga it is triggered by pulling a string, rather than flexing her wrist. This is clearly visible in the story where a thug holds Minnie-Mae hostage and forces her to strip, during which process she pops the Duo out and shoots his trigger finger off. I think the anime simplified this as simply popping out with a flick of the wrist.

I love this anime
Seriously, the creators did some serious research on this. At least for the manga, the creators actually took a trip to Chicago to get correct settings and detailed backgrounds, went to a real gun story to get information. The characters knows about bullet in the chamber indicator. They really went all out for this one. And as a resident of Chicago, I'm impressed. Excalibur01 05:26, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
