Hellsing

The following guns were used in the anime series Hellsing

The Hellsing Ultimate OVA series shows more guns as well.

The Joshua Casull

Alucard's first gun, which is a longslide .454 Cassull Autoloader. The Joshua is the first custom handgun made by Hellsing, specifically designed by Walter. It's essentially a very big gun handgun, with a length of 39cm. It's chambered for the mighty .454 Casull round, which finds use primarily in hunting large game, such as deer and bears. Of course, these bullets are special, being made out of silver obtained from melted holy relics, with an exploding property as well, making for a rather devestating cartridge against the legions of the night. The clips only hold about six rounds, seven with a shell in the chamber

The Casull is based believed to be based upon the colt 1911 or its varients, however I have notices that it bears a greater resemblance to Early model Colt Pistols).

In the episodes of close ups, you'll notice the hammer is never fully cocked, and is moving back as he pulls the trigger, meaning a double action mechanism, the pivot trigger is another indication of this, the early colt were all single action.

The lengthy barrel and slide give this gun incredible accuracy and the weight at the front of the gun makes the massive round significantly more controllable. And the touch of anarchronism from the use of an anitique firearm suits an immortal like Alucard perfectly.

Jackal

Alucard's second handgun made espeically for him. Jackal was made after Alucard's first encounter with Anderson - in fact, it likely was specifically designed with him in mind, considering the 'Jesus Christ is in Heaven, Now!' engraved on the side. Though the gun looks essentially the same, with the same overall length of 39cm, it's radically different, being made from pure silver, weighing 16kg. Obviously, no human could possibly use this gun. The breech also faces the left, instead of the right, though its clips can hold the same amount of bullets that Joshua's are capable of. The bullets are different as well, being a slightly bigger 13mm, with a gold casing, a reinforced core for armor penetration, and each bullet being baptized. Of course, they still share the same explosive quality.

This gun is beyond belief, literally. No 13mm round is produced, meaning each bullet must be manufactured by hellsing, not good for extended field work, but Alucard is a big boy and I'm sure he can take care of himself.

I'm a bit curious as to how this weapon can weigh 16kg when a full size 7.62X51mm medium machine gun only weighs 11kg, the weight is probably necessary to control that 13mm round, though with a gun this heavy you could probaly fire a .50cal BMG (Browning Machine Gun) round and control it.

Hallconnon cannon

Seras Victoria gets this big cannon later in the series. This is the weapon that Walter gives Seras in Order5, Brotherhood. The 30mm Hallconnon (The name is derived from the Japanese pronunciation of the primary antagonists of the novel Dune, House Harkonnen) Anti-Midians cannon is almost hilariously oversized, but she soon handles it like a normal rifle (that's vampiric strength for you). This is how Walter describes it:

"The Hallconnon cannon uses two types of ammunition, one depleted uranium shells, the other; armour piercing explosive incindiary (that means they set fire to things) rounds."

The subtitles state that "It's combat effective against all ground and aerial weapons except main battle tanks"

In the next episode Walter gives us some more details on the ammunition by telling Seras to fire the "incindiary shell with VT bursting charge, 4 RED" (with four red meaning the designation on the case bottom for easy distinction in combat)

It is effecively an artillary piece scaled down to the size of a massive sniper rifle.

The lower reciever contains the pistol grip, stock, mechanism, firing pin and rear sight. The second part consists mainly of the barrel and forward sight.

The barrel is connected to the lower reciever by an hinge at the front of the lower reciever. To reload the barrel drops down at the forward end and moves up at the rear end, exposing the breech end of the barrel where spent cases are removed and fresh shells inserted (like a double barrel shotgun except with one, much larger barrel.

Luke Valentine's gun - Cut down M1 Garand

Luke's gun is an M1 Garland with cut down barrel and stock to give it a pistol grip, Luke carries two of these hidden in his jacket and uses them to but a pair of bullet in Alucard's head, for all the good that does.

The M1 was originally the standard issue rifle for the US Military, but later was replaced with the lighter and generally better M14. For its time, the M1 was a good gun - it boasted a semi-automatic, eight-bullet clip of .30-06 ammunition (each clip much be expended fully before reload), with enough durability to survive the rigors of warfare.

Yan Valentine's gun - Customized P90 SMG

The P90's appearance is unconventional, with an odd downward ejection port, but it's one of the more prized military SMGs, having formidable penetration power with the FN 5.7mm bullet, an rate of fire of 900 RPM, and even boasts a horizontal magazine that lies on top of the gun, which carries 50 bullets. Jan's version is considerably customized, first having part of the stock and handle removed, with a more conventional pistol grip placed instead, which allows for duel wielding, the original p90 was more geared toward two handed firing from the shoulder. A silencer has been added, along with an underbarrel laser dot sight. Of course, his eye sigil also adorns the side of the weapon. In the series, one had a long scope attached to it and the other a red dot sight.

Incognito's MGL - Armscor 40mm MGL

Armscor are a South African arms company, among their products is this 12-shot grenade launcher.

The mechism is similar to a double action revolver, a grenade is fired using the double action (presumably) trigger and the drum rotates to fire the next on, shot are loaded through an opening in the back of the drum housing because the drum is fixed on its axis.

In the Anime, the weapon does not fire normal explosive grenades (though a wide range of ammo can be used, Incognito loads this with special shell contain multiple dart like objects (which must have some magical property beacause Alucard describes it as "magic from the dark continent").
