This weapon was seen used by one of the neo-nazi soldiers, but was never fired. It was seen cocked twice for some odd reason since the character already cocked it once in a previous scene. I guess it's just for showmanship. The unique Luger seen was a very specialized gun with a golden finish, a huge barrel and apparently designed to fire .454 Casull rounds, but while the Nazi was gloating and flaunting his gun, Revy shot him before he could use it. Before the guy died, he called his weapon the Eiserne Reich Luger Special, based on the Luger artillery long and the frame is hardened carbon with a thick grip and a two-bullet chamber. So it's safe to say this gun at least outwardly was based on the P17 Luger Artillery Model Pistol. | This weapon was seen used by one of the neo-nazi soldiers, but was never fired.

There is one depiction of an SVD like weapon with a large magazine capacity, but it could just be a mistake in drawing, or it could might as well be a custom long barrel AK-47 with a scope attached to it.

== | == APS Underwater Assault Rifle == | ||
This was used once as one of those exotic 15 minutes of fame kind of guns that makes a "guest" appearence in an episode. This rifle was given to Revy from Dutch at the end of one episode for an underwater mission to retrieve a precious painting from a sunken Nazi submarine that ended up in the South Pacific.

Have yet to get a picture of this weapon Revy uses once in episode 11.

Nothing special almost like a hunting rifle. Attached was a scope, maybe a 10x. The Anime has her fire two shots from the gun while in scoped view, without any bolt action sounds, but there is spacing between the shots, so the sound reception for the viewer could just be at a distance. | |||

Revision as of 21:57, 12 August 2009
The following firearms were seen used in the Anime Black Lagoon
Like many anime, Black Lagoon is a manga, currently still running. The anime lasted 2 short seasons before ending once it caught up with the manga.
The story takes places in the 1990s and follows Okajima Rokuro, an ordinary Japanese businessman who's happened to have mixed himself up with a band of mercenaries in the South China sea. Unable to return home, "Rock" joined this "company" in their many variety of missions, which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, or 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 the fictional city of Roanapur, Thailand.
Modified Beretta 92FS Inox aka "9mm Sword Cutlass"
The weapons of choice for the main female character, Revy are twin modified Beretta 92FS Inox, which are stainless steel and have a 5.9 inch barrel and slide configuration, 1 inch longer than any standard Beretta 92 model. 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. Revy calls it the "Praiyachat Sword Cutlass Special". Due to Revy's ambidextrous marksmanship skills, she is nicknamed "Two Hands" by the people of Roanapur. Revy always wears her Cutlass pistols from double cross-draw shoulder holsters and almost always draws them simultaneously to lay down an incredible rate of suppressing fire at any angle.
Smith & Wesson Model 629
This is Dutch's sidearm throughout the series and he is so proficient with it that he can fire it from his hip and hit several targets dead on.
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 Israeli gun made in the land where Jesus lived. Eda disagreed and say he would have the same Glock she uses, a Glock 17L. Revy argued that Jesus was a Jew so it would be nature for him to use an Israeli gun.
Modified Luger P08 Artillery model
This weapon was seen used by one of the neo-nazi soldiers, but was never fired. It was seen cocked twice for some odd reason since the character already cocked it once in a previous scene. I guess it's just for showmanship. The unique Luger seen was a very specialized gun with a golden finish, a huge barrel and apparently designed to fire .454 Casull rounds, but while the Nazi was gloating and flaunting his gun, Revy shot him before he could use it. Before the guy died, he called his weapon the Eiserne Reich Luger Special, based on the Luger artillery long and the frame is hardened carbon with a thick grip and a two-bullet chamber. So it's safe to say this gun at least outwardly was based on the P17 Luger Artillery Model Pistol.
Desert Eagle
Used by the "mother superior" 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. Despite being huge, heavy and powerful, the old lady handles it like it was nothing.
Mauser C96 Type 712
One character carries 2 of these pistols, type 712 of the Mauser C96 which had a detachable magazine instead of just loading through the top with stripper clips. They were never seen used because Revy shot him while the character Rotton the Wizard made his dramatic entrance.
Tokarev TT-33
This pistol was seen in used by plenty of people but was more prominent with the Russian Mafia, Hotel Moscow and is seen used as their standard sidearm.
Stechkin APS
This gun is Balalaika's sidearm throughout the series, and is also used by Yukio Washimine on full auto.
M1911A1
One of the most commonly seen guns in the series.
Beretta 76
For some odd reason, the crimelord of the Triad in the Roanapur wields 2 of these light caliber handguns as he did with his 1911s. The gun is chambered for .22 LR. These were seen only once when Chang fought off Gretel's firing and drove her off. His pistols could most likely be just based on the look of a Beretta 76 since in the anime it had custom pearl grips with dragons engraved on them and the Chinese word "Tentai", which means "Heavenly King" or something along that line.
Ruger Blackhawk Single Action Revolver
A Ruger Blackhawk was used by the Japanese character Chaka, who fancied himself as some kind of wild west gunman and wasn't a horrible shot with this old style pistol. It was later destroyed when Ginji sliced it up with his superhuman strength and sword. From the looks of it, Chaka's Ruger has a rear end sight. In this case it is not a Single Action Army; it is Ruger's base on an SAA.
Sistema Colt Modelo 1927
Used by 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, of which she has two. 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. It makes sense for Roberta to carry this weapon since she is from South America.
Accu-Tek AT-380 II
This was used in the last episode once by Balilaika when she asked her Yakuza equalivent in Japan to oblige her with his guard's weapon to see their readiness on guns. Rock translates from English to Japanese and gets handed first this basic looking handgun. She laughs and calls it an "atrocious" gun. On closer inspection it looked like the artist drew "Picatinny Rails" along the top of the slide (which are actually anti-glare serrations). She kills the Yakuza boss and his guard with it, and comments that it was actually a good weapon to use and tossed it to Rock as a gift, who in the end declines it and tosses it away.
Smith & Wesson Model 439
As a child, Revy was a criminal. The series alludes to her being responsible for a murder in her past, and she also explicitly stated that she killed people as a kid. In one of her flashbacks she is seen using a Smith & Wesson Model 439 to shoot cans.
Walther P38
Seen used by the SS officer in a flashback and found in the corresponding sunken submarine.
Sig Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226|SIG-Sauer P226
Remington 870 Marine Magnum
Dutch packs a Remington 870 Marine Magnum when he and Revy assault a ship full of Neo-Nazis. He wields this gun with tactical ease, reload only after expending all seven rounds.
Franchi SPAS-12
The first weapon seen used by Roberta pretending to be a maid was disguised into an umbrella, giving the intention of the weapon a sort of Pengiun from Batman feel, except the Batman villain 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.
Double Barrel Shotgun
Seen in the hands of Japanese gang members.
Uzi
One of the many type of common weapons used by thugs, mercenaries, mobsters, and gangs. In one episode it was prominently shown in the hands of security detail for one of the major mafia groups in Roanapur.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
One of the Neo-Nazi's uses an MP5 to fire on Revy & Rock when they surface after escaping from the German submarine.
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
Also known as the Grease Gun was seen in the last arc of the the series, a driveby with Yakuza had a couple of these weapons firing out. It is even possible these guns are old war relics left by American occupied troops after World War II.
Pistolet Maszynowy wz.63 AKA PM-63 Submachine gun
In this picture, you can clearly see Revy wielding a submachine gun from the picture. She only used this in the first episode. The Submachine gun she uses is a PM-63 SMG. It's a Polish made weapon that fires 9x18 Makarov PM.
MAC-10
Another common weapon used by any random thug or mercenary or even the mafia groups.
Heckler & Koch G3
First seen in the first episode when Levy tossed one to Rock to use to defend himself. He didn't know anything about guns and refused. After a heated battled with a Hind helicopter, in a fit of rage, he threw the rifle in the air and into the ocean, pissing off Revy because it musta cost her plenty.
The old G3 rifles have been seen in the hands of Triad boss, Chang's security detail in a few episodes though they sometimes go back to AKs.
AK-47 - AK-74 - SVD and other variants
These are the weapons, obviously the AK47, used by almost every faction in the entire anime. Symbolism to the obvious prolific nature of the imfamous Assault Rifle. It has been used by all the mafia groups, but more or less seen more prominently by the Russian group, Hotel Moscow, a group comprised mainly of ex-Russian Special Forces, a lot of them veterans of the war in Afganistan during the late 80s. The main weapon seen as a standard are the AKs that uses the 5.45mm rounds mostly AK-74s, sometimes 74Us and even current models. There is one depiction of an SVD like weapon with a large magazine capacity, but it could just be a mistake in drawing, or it could might as well be a custom long barrel AK-47 with a scope attached to it. The actual SVD has been seen used by the leader of Hotel Moscow in her days in the Afgan war and by her men later on. While the other groups are seen with usually AK-47 and its variants, Hotel Moscow is seen more with the AK-74, AKS-74, and AK-74Us among other Russian weapons.
APS Underwater Assault Rifle
This was used once as one of those exotic 15 minutes of fame kind of guns that makes a "guest" appearence in an episode. This rifle was given to Revy from Dutch at the end of one episode for an underwater mission to retrieve a precious painting from a sunken Nazi submarine that ended up in the South Pacific. Revy fired the weapon inside the sub against the Neo-Nazis that also were after this prize. Since the weapon was designed to function both above and under water, the weapon was still able to function properly in the air-filled submarine. She later fired the gun underwater at two divers on the surface next to the pod, which is what the APS Underwater was designed for.
M16A1
In several scenes, we see random mercenaries in the background. On closer look of screenshots, all of them are the kinds that were first seen in action during the Vietnam conflict. It makes sense since they are most likely mercenary groups in the south pacfic where Vietnam is. After any major war, there is always surplus in arms supplies.
VSS Vintorez
One of the Hotel Moscow soldiers was using this rifle on Yakuza.
Remington 700 Rifle
Have yet to get a picture of this weapon Revy uses once in episode 11. I know it's a Remington because she says in on screen and also mentions a type of ammo called Hydra API(Armor Piercing Incendiary). Whatever it is, it has a wooden frame, a very basic look to it. Nothing special almost like a hunting rifle. Attached was a scope, maybe a 10x. The Anime has her fire two shots from the gun while in scoped view, without any bolt action sounds, but there is spacing between the shots, so the sound reception for the viewer could just be at a distance.
Gepard anti material rifle
In the first episode, Revy busted out this rifle only once. She refered to it as her anti-tank rifle, but never said what it was. It's either a Gepard M2 or M3 varient. As the size of the weapon changes with the shot I can't tell wich exact model it is. In the first picture it looks like a 14.5mm M6 model.
Karabiner 98k
Seen in the flashback on the Nazi sub. Though I'm pretty sure any small arms fire inside a sub would be both loud and dangerous, but it wouldn't have mattered since the sub in the flashback was stuck.
DShK
DShK heavy machine guns a soviet made Heavy Machine gun caliber 12.7x108mm.Seen on the back of a truck fired by Hotel Moscow troops.
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 one Rico used once in the series had the bipod in the very forward position and there was no foregrip for a second hand. His was meant solely as a fixed placement machinegun.
MG42
This was shown twice on the Neo-Nazi ship, fired once when Revy tried to surface. One of the leaders of the Nazis, panic when seeing Revy rampaging on the ship. When he tried to fit the belt of bullets, Revy was already behind him. The weapon was dropped when the man tried to grab a grenade, but Revy killed him.
It's an MG42. The MG3 uses a plastic ammo drum of a different design.
Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A3
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 M1918A3 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. In the first instance Gretel busted her weapon out, there was a small doll handing at the end of the sling. BAR she uses has a more dark grey finish to it.
Handheld M134 Minigun
An extra part of a large group of mercenaries hired to get the Black Lagoon held an M134 Minigun like he was in Teminator 2 hence the "Chainsaw Grip"(The Predator model had an M60 machine gun handguard instead) , shredding through a door, but in the end was defeated by the fact that it takes a split second for the barrel to spin up and fire.
M79 Grenade Launcher
This Grenade Launcher 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.
RPG
Seen in use quite a few times in the series, but was first seen used by Revy at the end of episode one when she fired a "warning shot" at a larger carrier ship to make them stop so they can rob them.
Arwen 37
Twice in the series, an Arwen 37 Grenade launcher of unknown type was show it looked similar to the one in picture. The ARWEN 37 is a less-lethal launcher which fires 37 mm less-lethal rounds (foam or wooden or tear gas payload) designed for riot control. It has a 5-round rotary drum magazine. "ARWEN" is an acronym for "Anti Riot Weapon ENfield".
The real version was designed in 1977 by the British Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) Enfield, then part of the Royal Ordnance Factories. It came out of a British Military request for a multi-shot riot control weapon. Three prototypes were designed and tested: a semi-automatic weapon, a rotary-drum weapon, and a pump-action weapon. At the end of testing the rotary-drum model was put into production.
As of 2001, all ARWEN trademarks and patents are owned by Police Ordnance Company Inc. The weapon is manufactured under license in Canada.
Originally this weapon in real life is supposed to be a less than lethal launcher that would fire tear gas among other types of less than lethal ammo, but in the series it fired actual grenades, creating large explosions.
M2 Flamethrower
Seen in the used of a man who calls himself the Torchweaver for obvious reasons making comments that all have to deal with fire like grilling, cook outs, and BBQ. Apparently Torch has a simple looking lighter that actually spits out an amazing wall of flame and then pulls his actual flame thrower seeming out of no where.
TOW Missile Launcher
Seen used by the Neo-Nazis on their ship they took to the South Pacific seas for their mission. The ship alone was just a research type freighter, so they wouldn't naturally have weapons against other ships. To the dismay and surprise of the Lagoon crew, the Neo-Nazis fired several missiles against them, which narrowly survived the attack by running out of missile range.
