Strike Witches
Strike Witches is a mixed-media project originally created by Humikane Shimada via a series of magazine illustration columns. It was later adapted into two light novel series, two manga series, an anime OVA, and a televised anime series. The story revolves around teenage girls who are essentially moe anthropomorphizations of military planes. The OVA preview episode was released on January 1, 2007. The televised anime series later premiered on July 3, 2008, concluding September 18. Official confirmation of a second season of the anime was announced on February 27, 2009.
STEN
Used by British troops who replace the Strike Witches with the Warlock unit.
PPK/S
Issued to Miyafuji when she first arrives in Britannia. She refuses it, however, stating a dislike for firearms. Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke carries one on her person, and is notably seen using it to threaten Sakamoto. It can be assumed that most, if not all, of the witches were issued a PPK upon their arrival at the base.
MG42
Carried by most members of the 501st JFW. Due to her strength ability, Gertrud Barkhorn prefers using two MG-42s at once, often with devastating effect. All Strike Witches MG-42s are equipped with double-drum magazines.
BREN
Carried by Perrine Clostermann. She states that she would prefer to use a Chatellerault MLE 1924-II, but is unable to obtain one. Instead, she uses the BREN, which is similar to the Chatellerault in many aspects but is presumably easier to obtain in Britannia.
Boys Anti-Tank Rifle
Carried by Lynette Bishop in her role as the squad's designated marksman. While she uses a Boys Mk. I, she has switched the muzzle brake to that of a Mk. II, which according to her makes it easier to use.
BAR
Carried by Charlotte Yeager. Shirley actually dislikes the gun for the most part, citing the relatively small ammo capacity, even with the custom 40 round magazines she uses. She also dislikes the fixed barrel, which she can't replace if the gun overheats (which she admits is unlikely due to the ammo capacity.) The one aspect Shirley does like about the BAR is it's durability, stating it can be used even if one doesn't take much care of it.
