Brynhildr in the Darkness (極黒のブリュンヒルデ Gokukoku no Buryunhirude, lit. "Extreme-Black Brynhildr") is a 2014 anime adaptation of the manga of Lynn Okamoto (Elfen Lied). In search of evidence of extraterrestrial life, Ryōta Murakami and childhood friend Kuroneko tumble down a dam. Ryōta survives seriously injured, Kuroneko dies. Ten years later, Ryōta has still not got over her death and spends all his free time in the planetarium. When he met his new classmate Neko Kuroha one day, Ryōta couldn't believe his eyes because she looks exactly like Kuroneko. He then suddenly becomes the host and protector of Neko and other most unusual girl-witches, namely, who have escaped a laboratory and are hunted by members of a sinister organization called Vingulf who are also magically gifted.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Brynhildr in the Darkness:


Handguns

Nambu Model 60

Policemen can be seen with Nambu Model 60 revolvers with black grips in Ep. 08 "The Last Lead". In Ep. 11 "A Sudden Reunion", more Police officers can be seen with these revolvers in holsters.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5

Two members of the Hexenjagd resistance group of in Ep. 12 "Witch Hunt" and Ep. 13 "Things to Protect" are armed with Heckler & Koch MP5s. A more detailed view of these submachine guns can be seen during the second opening "Virtue and Vice". However, it is still difficult to say which version of the MP5 it is, either an A3 or A5.

Machine Guns

Browning M2HB

Two Type 96 Armored Personnel Carrieres of the Vingulf Laboratory, seen in Ep. 02 "Magician", were equipped with Browning M2HBs which seem to have the trigger grip from a Browning M1919A4E1.

While he wonders what these vehicles are doing in this area, the first Type 96 passes by. Note the trigger part (that is wrongly positioned anyway) without the spade grip. However, the other parts, e.g. the barrel, match a genuine M2HB that is actually the top-mounted armament of this vehicle.
