‘Battle Royale’ is a 1999 Japanese novel by Koushun Takami. It was later adapted into a live action film. Takami later published a 3,000 page illustrated manga version of the story.
The premise of ‘Battle Royale’ revolves around “The Program.” A government sponsored event which forces randomly selected junior high school classes to murder each other until there is only on survivor. Each student is given a duffle bag containing a randomly selected weapon. There weapons may be guns, knives, clubs, or toys. Many of the characters’ weapons differ in the three versions.
Ingram MAC-10 9mm
An Ingram MAC-10 9mm is the primary weapon used by villain Kazuo Kiriyama.
In the novel it is suggested that Kazuo’s weapon was in fact a blade as his first three victims were stabbed. It is from either Hiroshi Kuronaga, Ryuhei Sasagawa, or Izumi Kanai that the MAC-10 was obtained.
In the manga these three victims were killed with the MAC-10. The MAC-10 is used by Shuya in final escape on the government boat.
In the film Kazuo’s weapon is a paper fan. He quickly obtains an Uzi submachine gun which is his primary weapon. The MAC-10 is not featured.
Walther 9mm
In the novel Mitsuru Numai’s weapon is a Walther PPK 9mm. This becomes Kazuo’s backup weapon he keeps tucked in his belt.
In the manga the gun is changed to a Walther P99 9mm. Both guns were known for being used by James Bond.
In the film neither pistol is featured.
Remington M31 Pump Shotgun
In both the novel and manga hero Shogo Kawada’s weapon is a Remington M31 12 gauge pump shotgun.
In the film it is a SPAS 12 pump shotgun.
Uzi
In the novel and manga girl #17 Satomi Noda’s weapon is an Uzi 9mm. After her death at the lighthouse it is recovered by Shuya and is later used by Shogo Kawada during the climatic car chase until it runs out of ammunition.
In the film Boy #10 Ryuhei Sasagawa’s weapon is an Uzi. It has been substituted for the MAC-10 featured in the novel and manga.
In the film Satomi’s weapon is a Mini Uzi with a barrel extension.
Luger 9mm
A Luger 9mm is featured in the manga only as Girl #16 Yuka Nakagawa’s weapon at the Lighthouse. It is also used by Shuya during the climatic car chase with Kazuo.
