The following weapons were used in the anime Toshokan Senso :
Library Defense Forces
All weapons used by the LDF are known to be used/taken from JSDF stockpiles as "donated" by local governments to defend libraries against the Media Betterment Act (MBA).
Sig Sauer P220
Main sidearm of the LDF. Since most of the LDF's firearms are taken from JSDF stockpiles, the P220 is known as the 9mm Pistol or 9 Milimeter Kenjū license made by Minebea and Shin Chuo Kogo KK.
