Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood:
Pistol
FN Model 1910
A .45 caliber semi-automatic pistol bearing a strong resemblance to the FN Model 1910 with an open trigger guard appears as the standard sidearm of Amestrian soldiers & Military Police throughout the series, typically carried in crossdraw hip holsters. Lt. Riza Hawkeye often carries two of these (one with a stainless steel finish), and is frighteningly accurate with them. In one episode, Lt. Gene Havoc uses one to fend of an attack by the soulless body of Barry the Chopper, but has the weapon stovepipe on him. In another episode, Winry Rockbelle picks up one of these from a slain MP and holds it on Scar when she discovers that Scar was the one who killed her parents while they were treating wounded Ishvalans during the war. After several tense moments however she discards the weapon, unable to bring herself to fire. When 2nd Lt. Ross is questioned about the murder of Maes Hughes, the officer conducting the questioning mentions that the pistol uses .45 caliber ammunition.
Mauser C96
In one episode, one of Maj. General Armstrong's subordinates, Captain Buccaneer can be seen armed with a Mauser C96, firing a shot at Edward Elric's feet when he suspects him of being a traitor. He's later seen holding it on the Elrics when forcing them to help defend Fort Briggs from Sloth.
Enfield No.2 Snubnose
Brother Cray pulls an Enfield No.2 Snubnose on the Elrics in Episode 3. Riza Hawkeye also uses one in episode 19.
Sub machine gun
Walther MPL
Another weapon used by Amestrian soldiers is the Walther MPL submachine gun, usually seen without a stock.
Rifle
M14 Rifle
A weapon bearing a strong resemblance to an M14 rifle appears as the standard-issue weapon of Amestrian solders in the series, although with different trigger guard and magazine design.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
In flashbacks to the Ishvalan War of Extermination, both Amestrian soldiers and Ishvalan resistance fighters can be seen armed with Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifles, the rifles used by the Ishvalans likely commandeered from Amestrians. The weapons are incorrectly shown firing in semi-auto, as the bolt is not cycled between shots.
Karabiner 98k
Lt. Hawkeye uses a Karabiner 98k fitted with a ZF-41 scope to snipe targets from a bell tower and fires on the homonculus Gluttony with it when he attacks her, though the weapon proves useless against him. She can later be seen with it when searching the catacombs beneath Central Command.
Machine Guns
Minigun
In one episode, a religious extremist known as Father Cornello uses a Philosopher's Stone to transmute his cane into a weapon resembling a handheld GE M134 Minigun. Unlike most handheld examples which are fired from the hip, Cornello fires his from the shoulder.
Maxim M1910 Machine Gun
In one episode, Roy Mustang has a flashback to the Ishvalan War of Extermination showing an Ishvalan resistance fighter engaging attacking Amestrian soldiers with a Maxim M1910 machine gun.
Browning M1919 Machine Gun
Another weapon seen in the series is the Browning M1919 machine gun, fitted with a slotted barrel shroud resembling the early model M1919A4. A pair of these weapons are seen being commandeered by soldiers from Briggs when attempting to fend off Central soldiers trying to retake the command center, and several more are seen being fired on Father later on. One can also be seen bow-mounted in a tank operated by Briggs soldiers, the gunner using it in a futile attempt to engage Fuhrer King Bradley when he attacks the tank.
Chauchat
In one episode, a Central soldier can be seen manning a Chauchat machine gun in a defensive position when Fuhrer King Bradley makes his return to Central.
Rocket Launchers
Panzerschreck
The Panzerschreck makes several appearances in the series, first being used by Major General Olivier Mira Armstrong, commanding officer of Fort Briggs when the homonculus Sloth attacks the outpost, then later by Central soldiers fighting against another homonculus, Greed. Briggs soldiers can also be seen firing numerous Panzerschrecks at Father (the creator and leader of the other homonculi) during the final battle near the end of the series. In each instance however, the weapons prove useless due the the homonculi's superhuman powers; even direct hits barely slowing them down.
Grenade
Model 24 Stielhandgranate
In one episode near the end of the series, Fuhrer King Bradley can be seen carrying a Model 24 Stielhandgranate tucked into his belt. He uses the weapon to destroy a tank operated by Briggs soldiers at the command center.
Artillery
7.5 cm Pak 40
Amestrian soldiers used the 7.5 cm Pak 40 in the Ishvalan War of Extermination. These were also used at Fort Briggs by Briggs soldier repelling the Drachman army attack.
