The following weapons were used in the anime series Hellsing:
Hellsing like many anime started as a manga or graphic novel. The story revolves on an English organization called Hellsing, most likely based on the original Van Helsing. It's mission is obvious, to hunt down vampires mainly, though on the side they do tackle demonic agents of vampires like ghouls, zombie like creatures that are essential like vampires but their wills are controlled by a head vampire.
The Anime was a bit different and somewhat tame compared to the events in the manga, as such, an "OVA", a direct to video series, was created, not complete yet, that shows the more main story of the series rather than filler.
Alucard is the main character of the series, which the series hints that he is Dracula, but now under the service of the head of the Hellsing family. He is not a vampire turned good. He's a true monster that is unleashed on other vampires.
The OVA was created several years after the original anime and with different artists and a bigger budget, resulting in a very different result compared to the TV anime.
Handguns
Hellsing Arms .454 Casull
Alucard's first gun, which is a longslide .454 Cassull Autoloader. The first custom handgun made by Hellsing, specifically designed by Walter. It's essentially a very big semiautomatic pistol, with a length of 39cm. It's chambered for the mighty .454 Casull round, which finds use primarily in hunting large game, such as deer and bears. Of course, these bullets are special, being made out of silver obtained from melted holy relics, with an exploding property as well, making for a rather devastating cartridge against the legions of the night.
The Casull is believed to be based upon the Colt 1911 (or its variants like the longslide). However it also bears a resemblance to early model Colt pistols.
In some close ups, one may note that the hammer is never fully cocked, indicative of either a double action or fast-action mechanism similar to the Daewoo DP51.
The lengthy barrel and slide gives this gun incredible accuracy, and the weight at the front of the gun makes the massive round significantly more controllable. Something this extreme suits Alucard perfectly.
Trivia: During the flashbacks to World War II (specifically 1945), Alucard is seen using this same weapon. This is anachronistic, as the .454 Casull round was developed in 1957.
Jackal
Alucard's second handgun, also made especially for him. The Jackal was made by Walter after Alucard's first encounter with Anderson - in fact, it likely was specifically designed with him in mind, considering the phrase "'Jesus Christ is in Heaven Now'", a variation on a similar statement on Anderson's equipment, is engraved on the side. The Jackal has an overall length of 39cm (the same length as the Casull), is made from pure silver, and weighs 16kg. The slide covers the entire top frame, and there are thus no creases or lines on the top part of the gun, making room for the engraving. Obviously, no human could possibly use this gun without being blown away by it. The breech also faces the left, instead of the right, so it's more of a sister gun to the .454, though it's magazines can hold about the same amount of bullets that the Casull is capable of. The bullets are different as well, being a bigger 13mm, with a gold casing, a reinforced core for armor penetration, a mercury explosive and each bullet being baptized. Compared to the Casull, the Jackal is distinctly lacking in terms of aesthetic features, and is devoid of any contours on the side or frame save for the grip. This suggests that Walter designed the weapon immediately after Alucard's encounter with Anderson and did not have time to improve its appearance.
This gun is of fantastic proportions. No 13mm round was ever produced. A .50 alone would equal 12.7mm, meaning each bullet must be manufactured by Hellsing alone. It's curious as to how this weapon can weigh 16kg when a full size 7.62X51mm machine gun only weighs 11kg, the weight is probably necessary to control the 13mm rounds, though with a gun this heavy you could probably fire a .50cal BMG round and still have the same desired effect.
Heckler & Koch Mk 23 Mod 0
This was Seras's sidearm in the original Anime. It was replaced by a more sensible P226 in the OVA.
SIG-Sauer P226
This pistol is first seen in the OVA in the hands of Seras during her time as a police officer. Integra also uses a P226 as her sidearm as choice, stating that it is loaded with silver Heavy Explosive rounds.
M1911
Seen in the hands of Integra's uncle in a flashback.
Browning Hi-Power
A Browning Hi-Power was seen as the sidearm of a British traitor in the OVA.
Walther PPK
Used by Integra on the shooting range and against Jan in the meeting room in the Anime. Used with a fictive incendiary round.
Mauser C96
Two C96s are used by "The Captain". The normal pistol barrels have been replaced with meter-long carbine barrels.
Beretta 92FS
Seen in the hands of a round table council member in the OVA and in the hands of a Hellsing turncoat in the anime.
Webley Mk VI
Used by round table council president Sir Hugh Irons in the OVA.
Beretta 93R
Used on the shooting range by Integra in the anime.
Colt Single Action Army
The Colt SAA is Pip's sidearm of choice.
Glocks
Pip uses a Glock with a suppressor in the OVA. Seras also had a Glock as her sidearm when she joined Hellsing in the Anime. None of them can be seen clearly enough to distinguish the exact model/caliber.
Submachine guns
Yan Valentine's gun - Customized FN P90s
Jan's P90 is considerably customized, first having part of the stock and handle removed, with a more conventional pistol grip placed instead. A silencer has been added, along with an underbarrel laser dot sight. Of course, his eye sigil also adorns the side of the weapon. In the anime, one had a long scope attached to it and the other a red dot sight.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Carried by Hellsing members and police officers.
Heckler & Koch MP5K PDW
Carried by Yan Valentine's ghouls. Equipped with PVS-14 night vision scopes and suppressors. This design was also seen in the hands of some police.
Beretta PM12S
The Beretta PM12S was seen in OVA. It is possible that these are Taurus PM-12s (a licensed copy of the Beretta PM12S made in Brazil) since these are used by a Brazilian police SWAT team.
Skorpion SA Vz 61
Carried by the vampire teens in the anime. In the OVA, it was switched to a Micro Uzi.
Micro Uzi
A Micro Uzi was see seen in the hands of a vampire teen in the OVA.
Uzis
A Police Officer can be seen wielding an Uzi during the first episode of the OVA.
MP40
MP40s were seen in the hands of Nazi Vampires.
?
Steyr MPi81
A vampire stole this from a police station in the anime.
Thompson Submachine Gun
A Thompson can be seen in Alucard's dream sequence at the beginning of the 5th OVA, though the shot is not clear enough to determine the exact varaint. The entire dream revolves around films based on Frederick Forsyth novels. The Thompson is seen during a reference to The Fourth Protocol.
- Top mounted bolt and sights suggest either a 1921 or 1928 model. The Wierd It 23:06, 1 April 2010 (UTC)
Rifles
Seras's Rifle (Hellsing Anti-Midians 13.7mm)
This unknown rifle was used by Seras before she was given the Hallconnen. She also used it with a drum magazine later on in the Anime and OVA. In the original anime, the rifle had a more black polymer finish and stock, but in the OVA, it was switched to wood. Also in the original anime, this rifle was fully automatic, but in the OVA, Seras's only fires it in semi. This weapon is clearly manufactured by the Hellsing organization for anti-vampire combat, though it is uncertain who was intended to wield it before Seras joined. The stock engraving reads "Anti-Midians" and gives the caliber of the round as a massive 13.7mm - put wheels on that thing and it's a cannon.
Luke Valentine's gun - Cut down M1 Garand
Luke's gun is a pair of cut-down M1 Garands. In the Anime, both the stock and barrel/fore-end have been cut down, effectively turning these rifles into high-caliber pistols. In the OVA, only the barrel and fore-end have been cut, and the stock has been left intact.
Colt Model 733
Colt Model 733s are carried by Hellsing members in the OVA
M16A1s
Used by Hellsing forces in the original anime.
M16A2
Used by Brazilian solders/officers in an (unsuccessful) attempt to kill Anderson.
L85A1
Traitorous British soldiers in the OVA are seen wielding L85A1 service rifles. Another is seen in the hands of a member of the Wild Geese during Zorin's assault.
AKs
Assorted AKs were seen in the OVA, mostly in the hands of the Wild Geese.
AKS-74U
Used by members of the Wild Geese while working for Hellsing.
Sturmgewehr 44
The Nazi vampires are seen with Sturmgewehr 44s.
Kar98K
The Nazi vampires are seen with Kar98k.
Sniper rifles
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare L96A1
Used by Seras in the anime as well as other Hellsing members. Seras was told to not equip hers with a scope because, as a vampire, she can see farther than any human could.
PSG-1
Used by Brazilian police sniper team.
Day of the Jackal Sniper Rifle
During Alucard's dream, he encounters The Jackal, Edward Fox's character from The Day of the Jackal. The Jackal can be seen carrying the same custom rifle that he uses in the original 1973 film.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37 Stakeout
Stolen by a vampire when he tried to escaped from a police station.
Heavy weapons
Hallconnon cannon
Seras Victoria gets this cannon later in the series. This is the weapon that Walter gives Seras in episode 5, "Brotherhood" and the OVA shows the same scene as well, in the 2nd episode. This weapon's name is actually pronounced "Harkonnen"and is a reference to the primary antagonists of the novel Dune, House Harkonnen (the spelling discrepancy is the result of the Japanese pronounciation of "Harkonnen"). The cannon is almost hilariously oversized, but Seras soon handles it like a normal rifle because of her strength as a vampire. Walter says that it uses depleted uranium shells, and high explosive rounds. The Hallconnon fires 30mm cannon shells.
This is effectively an artillery piece scaled down to so a person can hold it like a rifle, which Seras does from time to time. It operates using a traditional breech-action system.
Incognito's Armscor 40mm MGL
This is a fictional multi-shot grenade launcher based off the South African Milkor MGL.
In the Anime, the weapon does not fire normal explosive grenades (though a wide range of ammo can be used, Incognito loads them with special shells containing multiple dart-like objects that have some magical property, which Alucard describes it as "magic from the dark continent").
M202 Flash
Used by Luke Valentine in the anime series.
Arwen 37
Seras uses this grenade launcher a few times in the anime.
Manville Projectile Launcher
In Alucard's dream, "Christopher Walken" can be seen using the Manville 25mm Launcher from The Dogs of War.
Mk 47 Striker 40 ALGL
The Mk 47 Grenade Machine Gun is used by the Wild Geese to defend Hellsing manor against Millennium's forces with devastating effect.
Panzerfaust
Used by nazi vampires.
Panzerschreck
Seen in hand of nazi vampires during the attack on London.
CIWS
Used on the captured British aircraft carrier against Alucard's Blackbird.
These are the American Phalanx CIWS, using a 20mm M61 Vulcan Gatling gun. Pravda616
Hallconnon II
A weapons system consisting of a pair 30mm semi-automatic cannons coupled with an incredibly large ammunition supply. She uses these weapons to barrage Zorin's blimp with an overwhelming display of firepower. The ammunition containers are detachable, and Seras is seen using Hallconnen II without them, though she quickly runs out of ammo.
Vladamir
Described as a "Wide area saturation, high explosive incendiary grenade launcher", the Vladamir is a set of muzzle-fired grenades that are part of the Hallconnon II weapon system. Seras uses these to deliver the final blow to Zorin's blimp.
Wall of Guns
Seen in the first episode of the OVA. It consists of
- a Sig P220 series
- an AK-74
- an M16 with the three-pronged compensator [drawn upside down]
- an M1911
- an M16 with the birdcage compensator
- a Colt Python
- Franchi LM57
- Sten MkII
Near the end of the wall of guns several muzzle-loading muskets, one with a bayonet attached, can be seen.
And all these were pointed at Alucard, but were still not enough firepower to take down one of the most powerful vampires in existence.
There's also no one holding any of the guns.
Other Weapons
Blessed Bayonets
Father Anderson's weapons.
Katana
Yumie Takagi's weapon.
Unknowns
- A custom job possibly based on the South African Mamba 9mm??
Unknown Rifle
Unknown rifle used by zombie in left of picture.
