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.

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.
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.
