Jormungand (named for the serpent in Norse mythology that grew so big it wrapped around the world) is a twelve episode anime series based on the manga series of the same name by Keitarō Takahashi. It follows the exploits of Jonathan "Jonah" Mar, a child soldier recruited by Koko Hekmatyar to work for the black market side of HCLI, an international shipping corporation that secretly deals weapons all over the globe. The television adaptation began airing on April 10, 2012; a second season, Perfect Order began airing on October 10, 2012. Both seasons have been licensed by Funimation for a North American release.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Jormungand:
Chinatsu is armed with a Beretta 84, using it to attempt an assassination at Koko in Dubai in "Musica Ex. Machina, Part 2".
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS makes occasional appearances throughout the series, most notably as Chinatsu and Tojo's preferred sidearm. Tojo's use of the 92FS gets replaced in the 2nd season by the SP 2022.
Beretta M9
Wilee uses a Beretta M9 during the flashback to his time in the US Army in the First Gulf War in "Pazuzu".
Browning Hi-Power Mark III
Before introducing him to the rest of her crew, Koko hands Jonah a Browning Hi-Power Mark III in "Gun Metal, Calico Road", which he continues to use as his primary sidearm.
Colt M1911A1
A Spin bodyguard uses a Colt M1911A1 during Hex's visit.
Colt XSE
Koko gives Jonah a Colt XSE as a decoy weapon before their confrontation with C.K. Kloshkin in "Gun Metal, Calico Road". Mildo and Lu also use XSEs as their sidearms in "Pulsar".
CZ 52
Chen Guoming uses a CZ 52 as his main sidearm in a flashback in "Hill of Destruction, Part 1" and in "Hill of Destruction, Part 2". Since Chen is from China and the PLA uses Soviet/Russian-made weapons and indigenous small arms based on Soviet/Russian bullets, it would be justified for Chen to be armed with this pistol since he was deployed on covert missions in Central Asia and Africa.
CZ 75
A CZ 75 is used Yusuf Gasud, one of Kaspar's West Asian arms dealers, to threaten a war orphan in "Vein".
CZ 100
Dragan Nicolaevich uses a CZ 100 to wound Leon Riviere at the runway of Planina Airport in "Dragon Shooter, Part 1".
Glock 17 (3rd Gen)
Mao uses a 3rd generation Glock 17 pistol as his sidearm. Other members of the team occasionally use 3rd gen Glock 17s as well before they were replaced by SP 2022s in the 2nd season. Karen switches from her GSR to a 3rd generation Glock 17, first seen in "Pazuzu". Note that all the Glocks in the series are drawn without the notch on the rail.
Glock 36
Lehm draws a Glock 36 from his pocket following Gregoire's ambush in the hotel room before firing 8 rounds to lockback, implying an extended baseplate and a combat loaded firearm.
Heckler & Koch Mark 23
Lehm's preferred sidearm is the Heckler & Koch Mark 23, which he uses throughout the series.
R uses a Heckler & Koch USP as his main sidearm, which first appeared in "Hill of Destruction, Part 1." Lutz uses one as his main sidearm in the same episode.
IMI Desert Eagle
Ugo uses a chrome IMI Desert Eagle as his main sidearm, first appearing in "Hill of Destruction, Part 1". It appears again in "Hill of Destruction, Part 2."
SIG Pro SP 2022
The SIG Pro SP2022 is introduced in Perfect Order's "Dance with Undershaft, Part 1" by Koko to replace the sidearms of most of her bodyguards. Jonah does not get one since he continues to use his old sidearm instead.
SIG-Sauer GSR
Karen Lo uses dual SIG-Sauer GSRs as her main sidearm, first seen in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1". Karen's GSRs can have combat knife modules attached underneath the barrel via picatinny railing. It's used to execute one of her Taishinhai mercenary subordinates for failing to follow her orders. She later uses them to fight Valmet in close quarters in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 2".
SIG-Sauer P226
One of Hex's SOG operatives pulls a SIG-Sauer P226 on Jonah in "Dance with Undershaft, Part 2" (S2E03). Chiquita and her team all used suppressed P226s in "Kasper and Jonah" (S2E04) while Chiquita uses it in "Castle of Lies, Part 1" (S2E05). Jonah uses one in "Century of Shame" (S2E12) when he was under Kaspar.
Smith & Wesson M945 Compact
Dominique uses a Smith & Wesson M945 Compact as his main sidearm, used in "Hill of Destruction, Part 1" and in "Hill of Destruction, Part 2".
Star 30 PK
A wounded Iraqi soldier uses a Star 30 PK to shoot Wilee in the back in an Iraqi chemical weapons factory in "Pazuzu" (S2E07). This is not correct since the pre-2004 Iraqi military uses the Tariq, which is a licensed Beretta M1951 as its standard sidearm.
Taurus PT 24/7
Hex places a Taurus PT 24/7 to her head "Dance with Understaft, Part 2" (S2E03) as the payload from a B52 bomber approaches her and the remaining SOG operatives.
Vis wz. 35 Radom
One of the Major Pollack's soldiers uses a Vis wz. 35 Radom as his sidearm. This is justified since a lot of these pistols were produced in the 1930s when World War II took place and 9mm bullets are more common in small arms usage than the .45 ACP in Europe.
Walther PPK
What appears to be a stainless Walther PPK is used by an EAE bodyguard assigned to Amalia Trohovski in "Mondo Grosso".
Submachine Guns
FN P90 TAC
Chiquita is seen holding an FN P90 TAC submachine gun with an EOTech red dot sight in the opening credits. She and Edgar, Alan and Poe use it as their main weapon in "Vein". They use it again in "Castle of Lie, Part 1" (S2E05) while engaging Special Research Unit commandos in downtown Jakarta in a hotel building. Jonah uses one as seen in "Warmonger" and "Century of Shame" as his main weapon while working under Kaspar.
FN P90
Curry uses a pair of FN P90 submachine guns in "Pulsar".
Heckler & Koch MP5A4
The Heckler & Koch MP5A4 submachine gun makes numerous appearances throughout the series.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Members of Koko's team occasionally use Heckler & Koch MP5K submachine guns.
Heckler & Koch MP7
In "Century of Shame" (S2E12), Valmet is seen armed with a Heckler & Koch MP7A1 after the group is reunited. It has an EOTech sight mounted on the upper receiver.
Ingram MAC-11
Kaburagi, one of the last surviving SR squad operatives, fired a suppressed Ingram MAC-11 at Jonah and Tojo in Tokyo Bay Aqua Line's Umihotaru in "Castle of Lie, Part 2". Note the bolt has the extractor revealed, showing that it's an Ingram MAC-11, not a MAC-10 as previously thought.
Assault Rifles
AK-47
The AK-47 makes several appearances throughout the series.
AKMS
Jonah is seen holding an AKMS rifle during a flashback of the time he was a child soldier before he joined HCLI.
AKS-47
The AKS-47 rifle makes occasional appearances in the series.
AKS-74U
A majority of the soldiers serving under Major Pollack are armed with AKS-74U rifles. Lu also uses one, most likely taken from a dead soldier. Jonah is armed with one in a flashback in "The Snake that Admires the Heavens". Hex uses on in "Dance with Undershaft, Part 1" in a flashback when she was conducting a black ops mission as a CIA SOG operative.
Colt Model 733
A number of Colt Model 733 rifles appear in throughout the series. Lehm also uses the CAR-15 as his main weapon when he's not on sniper duty and is always equipped with an M68 type Aimpoint and suppressor. Occasionally, Lehem's rifle appeared to have a tan color to it and then back to grey. Lehm's rifle would later be replaced by a Masada in the 2nd season. Delta Force commandos led by Lehm in Iraq during the First Gulf War are all armed with 733s outfitted with the same M68 Aimpoint style red dot scopes in "Pazuzu", which would be anachronistic.
Colt M4A1
Wiley uses a Colt M4A1 as his personal weapon, which first appeared in South Africa in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1". In "Mondo Grosso", Jonah and Lutz take on each other in a paintball range in Britain's East Sussex with paintball rifles that externally resembles M4A1s. In "The Snake that Admires the Heavens", CIA Special Operations Group operators are armed with M4A1s in a flashback when Koko explains to Jonah the positions in the CIA and during the shootout in "Dance with the Undershaft Phase 2". SR Unit commandos use the M4A1 with EOTech sights in downtown Jakarta after one of their comrades is killed by Chiquita during a negotiation in "Castle of Lies, Part 1" (S2E05) and in Tokyo Bay Aqua Line's Umihotaru when they engage Koko's team in "Castle of Lies, Part 2" (S2E06). US Marines use them with EOTech sights and vertical foregrips in "Warmonger" (S2E11).
Colt M16A2
Colt M16A2s are seen in flashbacks in the hands of Wide Range Communications Platoon operators in "Dance with Undershaft, Part 1".
FN FNC Paratrooper
Jonah's primary weapon is an FN FNC Paratrooper(As noted with the shorter barrel) with tape wrapped around the stock struts for the 1st season until the 2nd season, when he changes to a Magpul Masada.
FN SCAR-L
Hex uses an FN SCAR-L in the second season as her main assault rifle. Note that she uses Magpul PMAGs which would work poorly in the rifle until later Gen M3 PMAGs. Navy SEAL commandos engage Koko's forces near Guantanamo Bay with the FN SCAR-L in "New World, Part 3".
Heckler & Koch G36K/V
Mao uses a Heckler & Koch G36KV rifle as his primary weapon, which was replaced by a Magpul Masada in the 2nd season. A few other G36Ks show up throughout the series.
Heckler & Koch G36
A Heckler & Koch G36 is seen in the hands of a GSG-9 operator in Lutz's flashback in "Mondo Grosso".
Heckler & Koch XM8
Lutz and R fire the Heckler & Koch XM8 during target practice in a HCLI-owned cargo ship in "Vein" while en route to Africa.
Magpul Masada
Koko gives her entire bodyguard team Gen 1 Magpul Masadas in the beginning of the second season, serving as their main assault rifle to replace their personal assault rifles. In the episode Castle of Lies Phase 2, they animated the charging handles reciprocating on several of the rifles.
Norinco Type 56-1
An Norinco Type 56-1 appears to be the rifle used by an Excalibur contractor firing at a civilian car passing by the HCLI convoy
Steyr AUG
R can be seen firing a Steyr AUG A1 out a car window during the opening credits. It serves as his primary weapon. Tojo and Valmet also use the AUG A1 as their main weapon, seen in their South African operation in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1". Valmet is seen with her AUG during a flashback in "Dance with Undershaft, Part 1." The AUGs used by Tojo and Valmet were replaced by the Masadas in the 2nd season.
Norinco Type 56-1
An Norinco Type 56-1 appears to be the rifle used by an Excalibur contractor firing at a civilian car passing by the HCLI convoy
Valmet Rk 62
Valmet Rk 62s are used by Finnish UN peacekeepers in Valmet's flashback in the episodes "African Golden Butterflies, Part 2" and "Hill of Destruction, Part 1".
Vektor R5
Daxinghai contractors are armed with the Vektor R5 as their main assault rifle throughout the series, first seen in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1" and then in "Hill of Destruction, Part 2". This makes sense in the episodes since they are deployed in African territory.
Shotguns
Remington 870
A young assassin named Liliane uses a Remington 870 with a pistol grip as her main weapon from the episode "Hill of Destruction, Part 1".
Machine Guns
FN Minimi Para
Valmet uses a FN Minimi Para as her main support weapon, first seen during the chase sequence in "Gun Metal, Calico Road".
"Master" uses an IMI Negev LMG to take down the CRV driven by Ugo in Dubai in the episode "Musica Ex. Machina, Part 2". It's also seen in a flashback at the start of the same episode.
Browning M2 Heavy Barrel
Orchestra uses a Browning M2HB mounted in the rear seat of a GMC-type pick-up truck in "Musica Ex. Machina, Part 2". It's seen mounted on a Ford F-150 pickup used by Excalibur contractors in "Pazuzu". One is used by Islamic extremists on a few technicals in "Warmonger".
M134 Minigun
Mao and Lehm uses a M134 Minigun mounted in the HCLI-owned cargo ship against Somali pirates in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1".
M61 Vulcan

Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-301
A MiG-29 armed with a Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30 is seen in "Gun Metal, Calico Road". Another one which a SU-37 armed with is seen in the OP sequence of Perfect Order and in "Century of Shame".
Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B
Several Mil Mi-24 "Hind" helicopter gunships armed with chin-mounted Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B Gatling guns appear throughout the series.

Denel Land Systems MG4
A South African Army Rooikat on static display in the DIESA Arms Expo is seen with the DLS MG4 machine gun as a secondary weapon in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1". The MG4 is the South African-made version of the Browning M1919.
Zastava M87 NSVT
A Zastava M87 NSVT, the Serbian-made version of the Russian NSV machine gun, is seen on a T Republic tracked APC in the episode "Dragon Shooter, Part 1". Since the nameless country is based in the Balkans, it would make sense for its armed forces to be armed with Serbian/Yugoslav-made weapons as a first priority, followed by Russian/Soviet-made weapons.
ZU-23-2
A ZU-23-2 "Sergey" 23 mm anti-aircraft twin-barreled autocannon is fielded by a Balkan Dragon militia force to shoot down Koko's HCLI Antonov An-12 in "Dragon Shooter, Part 2". Though the ZU-23-2 hasn't been fielded to any army/militia force in the Balkans in reality, it's possible that the Balkan Dragons acquired it from a Balkan-based standing army in the Jormungand universe, courtesy of the USSR/Russia.
A RPD is used by an Excalibur contractor in "Pazuzu". (S2E07) Islamic extremists use them on pick-up trucks in "Warmonger" (S2E11).
M230 Chain Gun
A Sikorsky MH-60L Direct Action Penetrator chopper carrying George Black and US Marines back to sea is armed with a M230 Chain Gun in "Warmonger".
2A38M autocannon
2A38M autocannons are seen in rogue 2K22 Tunguskas trying to take down NUSSRAF MiG-29s in "Century of Shame".

Machina, Part 1" in the hands of Dubai SWAT snipers. In a flashback in "The Snake that Admires the Heavens", a CIA SOG team uses a 700PSS in a war-torn city.

Knight's Armament SR-25
A Knight's Armament SR-25 is the hands of one of Hex's SOG operatives in "Dance with the Undershaft phase 2".
Barrett M82A1M

FIM-92 Stinger
One of Major Pollack's soldiers is seen unloading FIM-92 Stinger missile tubes in episode 2.
RPG-7
Ugo uses a RPG-7 to destroy a Somali pirate speedboat in "African Golden Butterflies, Part 1".
Strela 2M2J Sava
Balkan Dragon militiamen use Strela 2M2J Savas, the Yugoslav-made version of the 9K32 “Strela-2” (or SA-7 Grail as a NATO reporting name), against the Antonov An-12 taking off at Planina Airport in the episode "Dragon Shooter, Part 2". Dragan's militia would be first equipped with Yugoslav/Serbian-made weapons before Soviet/Russian-made weapons since the T Republic is based in the Balkans.
Grenades
M67 hand grenade
Jonah uses the blast from a M67 hand grenade to deflect an incoming 127mm rocket.
AN/M8 smoke grenade
An AN/M8 smoke grenade is used to facilitate Jonah's takedown in "Vein". Another one was used by a CIA SOG operative in "Dance with Undershaft, Part 1" in a flashback.

"Chinatsu Cannon Special"
In "Musica Ex. Machina, Part 1", Chinatsu uses a fictional weapon referred to as the Chinatsu Cannon Special to take out a Dubai Police Force cruiser responding to the shootout in downtown Dubai. It is a custom-made weapon, having the body of a Colt SAA revolver with a custom-made breech-loaded barrel, which is placed over where the barrel and cylinder of the revolver should be. It is fired similarly to other one-shot grenade launchers like the M79 and the HK69A1.
