Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka (Japanese: 魔法少女特殊戦あすか Hepburn: Mahō Shōjo Tokushusen Asuka) is a Japanese magical girl/military seinen manga series written by Makoto Fukami and illustrated by Seigo Tokiya. Naoya Tamura is the series' military advisor. It began publication in June 2015 in the manga magazine Monthly Big Gangan, published by Square Enix, and has five tankōbon volumes slated for North America Release as of January 2018. The series is published in North America by Seven Seas Entertainment. An anime television series adaptation by Liden Films began airing on January 12, 2019; the anime series is licensed in North America under Crunchyroll-Funimation partnership.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Magical Girl Spec-Ops Asuka:


Pistols

MP-443 Grach

GRU Operative Constantine Asimov points what appears to be an MP-443 "Grach" on Iizuka Yoshiaki in the battlefield outside Mt. Aso in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". This would make sense as the MP-443 is the standard service pistol of the Russian military and law enforcement.

Seeing their plans foiled, a terrorist tries to shoot Asuka with his vehicle mounted minigun in "The Magical Girl Comes Back". Doesn't work that well against a superhuman magical girl with shield powers and a magical karambit that can slice through anything.

Possible MP-5
