Akiba Maid War (JP:アキバ冥途戦争Akiba Meido Sensō lit. "Akiba Underworld War") is an original Black Comedy anime produced by Cygames and P.A. Works. It was directed by Sōichi Masui and written by Yoshihiro Hiki. Taking place in Akihabara in 1999, the show follows a 17-year-old girl named Nagomi Wahira as she inadvertently finds herself sucked into the criminal underworld of maid cafés.
Note the "Meido" part of the title is a pun of the Japanese pronunciation of the word "Maid/メイド" and pronunciation of the word "Underworld/冥途" (as in criminal underworld).
The following weapons were used in the anime series Akiba Maid War:
The Colt M1911A1 with nickel plating and wood grips is used by many different characters throughout the show, and is the standard armament of the Maidalien Group maids. The assassin in Episode 10, is seen with a M1911A1 which is missing its ejection port.
The Smith & Wesson Model 10 is used by Ranko Mannen as her primary weapon. It is also frequently used by other characters and the standard armament of the Creatureland Group. Due to animation inconsistency, the barrel/front sight frequently change back and forth between the standard tapered barrel Model 10 and the heavy barrel Model 10.
What appears to be a M20B1 "Super Bazooka" is first seen being held by Yasuko Yaegashi. The rocket launcher is subsequently used by Shino "Shiipon" Gotou to destroy the Creatureland Group wood carving. The launcher lacks any sights, is missing the contactor box, and has no monopod.
A Mk 2 hand grenade is thrown by the Maid Casino Dealer at Ranko Mannen, but Ranko catches the grenade and throws it back. Note the screenshots have had their brightness edited due to how dark the scene is.
A cork-firing air gun, a staple of Japanese festivals, is seen being being used by children during the "Lady Omoe Festival" It is also held by the Bear Ace Maid when the Creatureland maids harass the protagonists at the festival.
