Upotte!! is a slice-of-life (roughly analogous to an American sitcom) Japanese anime series based on the manga of the same name by Kitsune Tennouji. Most of the main characters are school girls who are personified versions of various firearms (the main character, Funco, is literally an FN FNC assault rifle). Submachine guns are grouped into Elementary School, assault rifles are in Middle School, and battle rifles are in High School. The series first aired on April 7, 2012 and is simulcast in English via Crunchyroll.com.
The following firearms were seen in the anime television series Upotte!!:
Assault Rifles
FN FNC
Funco is the personification of the FN FNC Assault Rifle. Hilariously, Genkoku first referred to her as the 'girl with the thong', a reference to the fact FN FNC's came with skeleton stocks.
M16A4
Ichiroku (Japanese for One Six) is the personification of the M16A4 Assault Rifle.
L85A1
Eru is the personification of the L85A1. She adores Faru and often jams, which is unfortunately true as the British and the Jamaicans (A major user of the L85A1 since 1992) often encountered jamming issues as a major source of discontent for the rifle before Heckler & Koch was able to improve the rifle to bring it the L85A2 standard.
SIG SG 550
Sig is the personification of the SIG SG 550; smart yet somewhat of a ditz.
Steyr AUG
Steyr (name unconfirmed), the personified version of the Steyr AUG, can be seen on the range next to Sig.
Armalite AR-18
An Armalite AR-18 can be seen on the shooting range next to Eru and Steyr.
Battle Rifles
FN FAL
Funco's elder sister Faru is based off the FN FAL. She is described as being beautiful and smart.
M14
Ichiroku's elder sister Ichiyon is based off the M14.
G3A3
Jiisuri is based off the G3A3. She has several younger sisters in elementary school (i.e. the MP5 series).
