Revision as of 05:09, 18 August 2010
Gunsmith Cats is based on the manga series written by Kenichi Sonoda. It follows Rally Vincent, an excellent gunsmith and bounty hunter, and "Minnie" May Hopkins, an explosives nut.
Rally and May are recruited by ATF agent Bill Collins to help track down a group of gun runners. But things get complicated when a Russian assassin is called in to deal with the two girls.
Pistols
CZ 75
Rally Vincent carries an early model CZ 75 as her primary weapon of choice. She praises this weapon throughout the manga, considering it to be one of the best handguns ever made, due to the very high grade of steel used to make the first versions of the CZ 75.
Colt 1908
Rally keeps a Colt 1908 as a backup weapon. The gun is attached to a special harness that allows the gun to be drawn by flicking her wrist. This is an obvious shout-out to Taxi Driver (Kenichi Sonoda, the author of Gunsmith Cats, often cites American action films as a source of inspiration).
Walther PPK
ATF agent Bill Collins uses a Walther PPK as his weapon. At one point, Rally makes a joke at Bill calling him "Agent Double Oh 7-11".
Rally uses this gun briefly in the first episode, when gun runners tell her to shoot Bill as a sign of trust. She instead shoots the ropes used to tie him up, hitting one of the gun runners in the leg in the process.
Beretta 92FS
Near the begenning of the first episode, an off-duty cop brings his Beretta 92FS in to Rally's shop to get some custom work done. When checking the gun, Rally notices the weapon still has a round chambered and informs him to be more careful next time.
Another Beretta 92FS apears in the second Episode, when Russian assassin Natasha Radinov attacks an ATF safehouse. She either brought this weapon along or picked it up off a dead ATF agent.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
A Smith & Wesson Model 36 is shown during the opening credits. Rally also keeps one of these guns under the counter of her store.
Ruger SP101
Rally keeps a Ruger SP101 taped to the door of her fridge.
Colt Python
A Colt Python is shown briefly during the opening credits. The words "Python Hunter" are written on the side.
Colt Lawman
In the manga series, Roy Coleman mentions he carries a Colt Lawman with a 4-inch bull barrel. Roy only draws this weapon once, during the third episode after Radinov attacks Rally and May.
M1911
In the third episode, Rally is seen cleaning a disassembled M1911.
Makarov PM
Assassin Natasha Radinov breifly uses a Makarov PM to kill an ATF agent when she attacks the safe house.
Welrod Mark I
In the third episode, Radinov uses a rare British bolt action Mark I Welrod pistol to kill ATF chief George Black. The weapon exhibits some rather bizarre changes between shots.
Heckler & Koch VP70
In the third episode, Radinov attacks Rally and May at Senator Haint's campaign ralley with a Heckler & Koch VP70. The VP70 has a stock attachment, loaded with an extended magazine and seems to be converted to full auto fire.
SIG P226
Near the end of the third episode, Senator Haints grabs what appears to be a SIG P226 to shoot Natasha Radinov. The weapon turns out to be empty and part of a set up by Becky and Cathy to get Senator Haints to admit his crimes.
Heckler & Koch USP
A Heckler & Koch USP is shown during the opening credits.
Glock
During the third episode, Bill's partner is carrying what appears to be some type of Glock, although it is difficult to identify. One was also seen on the wall of the Gunsmith Cats shop.
Unknown Revolvers
Mauser C96
Seen in the Gunsmith Cats shop and at their home.
Smith and Wesson Schofield
Seen in the Gunsmith Cats shop
Submachine Guns
Beretta M12
A Beretta M12 can be seen when Rally was being stopped and check by gun runners in the first episode.
Micro Uzi
When Radinov attacks the ATF safehouse in the second episdoe, she guns down an agent attempting to fire a Micro Uzi. She then picks up the gun and kills another ATF agent with it.
In the same episode, when Rally and May are investigating the shipping yard, some of the thugs that attack are carrying Micro-uzis.
Heckler & Koch MP5
During the warehouse fire fight in the first episode, some of the thugs are carrying Heckler & Koch MP5s.
Steyr TMP
During the high speed chase in the second episode, Radinov draws a Steyr TMP and opens fire at Rally. Rally later shoots the gun out of her hand.
Calico M950A
In the third episode, Radinov attacks Rally and May with Calico M950A and a Heckler & Koch VP70.
She also uses the M950 to hunt down Rally and May during the final showdown.
Skorpion SA
Seen on the wall of the Gunsmith Cats' home basement.
Shotguns
Sawn Off Double Barrel
In the opening of the OVA, Rally and May move in on a gun runner who jumped his bail. When he discovers the two bounty hunters are after him, he grabs a sawn off double barrel shotgun. However, May gets the drop on him and stuns him with a smoke grenade.
Mossberg 500 Bullpup
One of the burglers in the first episode arms himself with a Mossberg 500 Bullpup. He never gets a chance to fire the weapon, as he and his pals are caught off guard by Rally and quickly subdued.
Mossberg 500
Used by one of the gun runners during the warehouse fire fight in the first episode.
Seen again in the second episode, in the hands of an ATF agent when Radinov attacks the safehouse. Also used by one of the thugs in the shipping yard fight.
Pistol Gripped Remington 870
Radinov uses this shotgun during the high speed chase in the second episode.It's a cut down Remington 870 Shotgun with front and back pistol grips.
Franchi PA8
During the warehouse fight the first episode, Rally grabs a Franchi PA8 with a folding stock and blindfires it, hitting two thugs in the legs.
It's colored incorrectly, it should be all black, but the horizontal lines on the grip, and the vent holes in the stock give it away as a Franchi shotgun.
Assault Rifles
AKS-74U
In the second episode, Rally and May investigate the shipping yard and find a crate full of weapons. Among them, is a AKS-74U.
Steyr AUG HBAR
One of the burglars in the first episode arms himself with a Steyr AUG HBAR from Rally's weapon collection.
Steyr AUG Para
Later two gun runners in the warehouse fire fight are armed with Steyr AUG Paras.
M16A2
An M16A2 was seen in the background at Rally's shop.
Light Machine Gun
M249
One of the burglars helps himself to a M249 from Rally's gun collection.
Misc
Bonnie's Leg and Grey's Arm
These are references to the original Gunsmith Cats manga. A character named Bonnie had a prosthectic leg which housed a PM9, a French submachinegun which was notable for its ability to fold its magazine to lie along the barrel, making it very compact; her shoe also housed a bounding antipersonnel mine. Grey, another character, lost his hand thanks to Rally and replaced it with the blade weapon seen here, which is high-grade carbon steel and mounted on a launching mechanism powered by a car suspension spring.
