This is going to be a special project for me since I am a fan of anime and what guns are in anime and this one certain has a lot to show. Stay tune for more
Black Lagoon (ブラックラグーン, Burakku Ragūn?) is manga series written and illustrated by Rei Hiroe, published in Shogakukan's Sunday GX since 2002. An animated television series based on the manga aired in Japan from April 8, 2006 to June 24 of the same year, totaling twelve episodes. A second season, subtitled "The Second Barrage", ran for twelve weeks starting on October 2, 2006.
This series follows the crew of hired guns, pirates, contract workers, whatever term you prefer them. They usually smuggle goods in and around the seas of Southeast Asia. Their base of operations is located in the fictional city of Roanapur in Thailand, and they transport goods in the PT boat Black Lagoon. When on land, they move around and conduct business using Benny's 1969 Dodge Coronet R/T (with a '69 Plymouth Roadrunner side-scoop induction hood). Lagoon Company does business with various clients, but has a particularly friendly relationship with the Russian crime syndicate Hotel Moscow. The team takes on a variety of missions—which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, and nautical battles—in various Southeast Asian locations and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in Roanapur.
Throughout the entire series the 2 real fighters of the crew, Revy, and her black partner, Dutch wield their usual trademark guns along with some special surprises from time to time.
The series is plagued with an assortment of weapons used almost specificly by each of the mafia and gang factions in the story. A few extra characters also wield personally made guns and guns they each exclusively use over any other extras.
9mm Sword Cutlass aka Modded Beretta 92F
The weapons of choice for the main female character, Revy are twin modified Beretta 92Fs, which are stainless steel and have barrel and slide extended by 1cm each, most likely adapted for suppressors and covered with shrouds. If they were modded for suppressors, she never used them. They are engraved with "9mm Sword Cutlass", the Jolly Roger of the famous pirate Calico Jack (which is also inlaid into the ivory grips), and an inscription in Thai. Due to Revy's ambidextrous marksmanship skills, she is nicknamed "Two-Hands" by the people of Roanapur. Revy always wears her Cutlass pistols from a double cross draw shoulder shoulder and almost all the time draws them both at the same time to lay down an incredible rate of suppressing fire at any angle.
Smith & Wesson 629
This is the main handgun that Dutch always uses and he is so proficient with it that he can fire it from his hip and hit several targets dead on.
Remington 870
This is Dutch's secondary weapon he only uses when on a bigger mission such as the episode where he and Revy assaulted a ship full of Neo-Nazis. He wielded this gun with tactical ease.
M79 Grenade Launcher
This GL was used a few times, mostly in the first couple episodes where Revy single handedly destroyed at least 6 pirate ships with her perfect aim.
Unknown .50 cal rifle
H&K G3 Assault Rifle
AK-47
Modified Luger
MGL Unknown type
Glock 17L
Used by the "Nun", Eda who is part of a group called "The Church of Violence" in the trade, much known for their weapons dealing. Eda once asked Revy if Jesus had a gun, what would he use? Revy responded with a Jericho 941 since it's an Israel gun made in the land where Jesus lived. Eda disagreed and say he would have the same Glock she uses. A Glock 17L, introduced in 1988 and incorporates a longer slide and extended barrel. Initially the 17L had three holes in the top of the barrel and a corresponding slot in the slide, however later production pistols lack the holes in the barrel. The Glock 17L is effectively discontinued, with the exception of very limited production runs. Obviously as a gun runner, Eda got her hands on one.
M60
Seen only in one episode introduing the extra character, Rico an "Apprentice Priest" with the Church of Violence. He provided support fire while his "sisters" unloaded to intruders trespassing on their "sacred grounds". The M60 (formally the United States Machine Gun, Caliber 7.62 mm, M60) is a family of American general purpose machine guns firing 7.62x51mm NATO cartridges from a disintegrating belt of M13 links.
Introduced in 1957, until recently it remained in use in every branch of the U.S military and still serves in other armed forces. Its manufacture and continued upgrade for military and commercial purchase continues into the 21st century though it has been replaced or supplemented in most roles by other designs, notably the M240 (U.S. Forces' nomenclature for the FN MAG-58) in U.S service.
Desert Eagle
Used by the "mother supperior" of the Church of Violence, the one eyed, old Yolanda. She carries a special one with engravings and a bright gold construction, most likely to reflect on her personality. The Desert Eagle is a large caliber gas-operated semi-automatic pistol manufactured primarily in Israel by IMI (Israel Military Industries, now Israel Weapon Industries) for Magnum Research, Inc. Magnum Research has also marketed various versions of the short recoil Jericho 941 pistol under the Baby Eagle name; these have no functional relationship to the Desert Eagle and bear only a moderate cosmetic resemblance. The one used in the anime most likely fires the biggest bullet the Desert Eagle can handle and despite being huge, heavy and powerful, the old lady handles it like it was nothing.
Flame Thrower
Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A2
This was one of the speciality weapons used in the series to show a more personal aspect in how an assassin and her choice of gun is. This awesome weapon of the past is used by Gretel, the girl twin of a very disturbing pair of assassins. Because it's an anime, the artists several times drew the BAR to be extremely bigger than the user to show how freakishly strong she is. Apparently she uses the M1918A2 model introduced in 1940.
And Gretal usually hides it in a cute blanket with a small teddy bear attached to the end of a string holding the whole thing together.
Uzi SMG
MG3
Mac-10
Mauser C-96 Type 712
APS Underwater assault Rifle
TOW Missile Launcher
TT-33
APS-1 Stechkin
1911A1
Beretta 76
Hardballer
Colt Single Action Army
Sistema Colt Modelo 1927
Used by a one of the more interesting characters in the series, Roberta, a former FARC guerrilla trained as an assassin. This is one of the many guns she has, which she has 2 of these. The Sistema Colt 1927 is Argentina's adoption of the US made 1911s in 1927. It's essentially a Colt 1911, just made in Argentina and given a new name.
Franchi SPAS-12
The first weapon seen used by Roberta pretending to be a maid was disgused into an umbrella, giving the intention of the weapon a sort of Pengiun from Batman feel, except the Batman villian never fired a 12-gauge shotgun from his umbrella. It was fired in semi-auto since Roberta was holding her suitcase in the other hand which contained many other weapons.
