[File:HXH2011Cover.jpg|thumb|right|300px|Hunter X Hunter (October 2, 2011 - September 24, 2014)]]
Hunter X Hunter (pronounced "Hunter Hunter", without the "X") is a 2011 anime series produced by Madhouse, based on Yoshihiro Togashi's famous manga series of the same name. Set in a fictional world (whose map looks conspicuously like the real world's rearranged), the story centers around Gon Freeccss, a 12-year-old boy who seeks to join the exclusive, prestigious Hunter Association (a group composed of exceptionally capable individuals in a variety of fields, ranging from exploration to bounty hunting to cooking), in an effort to find his absent father, a noted member of the group. Soon after he begins, he is joined by 3 other aspiring hunters - Killua Zoldyck (another 12-year-old boy, and also an accomplished hitman-for-hire), Kurapika Kurta (a 17-year-old seeking to avenge the murder of his family), and Leorio Paradinight (a 19-year-old who primarily wants access to the organization's funding, so he can go to medical school).
The following weapons were used in the anime series Hunter X Hunter (2011):
A Mafia member in Episode 52 ("Assault X And X Impact") uses what appears to be an AMT Hardballer II.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAMT Hardballer II - .45 ACPError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Mafia guard uses his Hardballer to threaten a doctor; note the short beavertail (suggesting a Hardballer II rather than an original model) and the non-standard sights. The pistol appears to be mirrored here, with the left-side controls on the right side (though as the left side is never seen, it could simply be a custom model with ambidextrous controls like many modern M1911 variants); the hammer is also uncocked, making this a rather impotent threat.
Beretta 92FS Inox
A Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy") is briefly seen with a Beretta 92FS Inox.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta 92FS Inox - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Mafia members storm the auction hall, with the one in the center holding a Beretta. Presumably because of its brief appearance, the space in the trigger guard is drawn completely solid; the slide is also locked back for some strange reason.
Colt Defender
Another Mafia member in Episode 43 is seen with a Colt Defender; yet another Mafia member uses one against Uvogin in Episode 44 ("Buildup x To A x Fierce Battle").
What appears to be a Colt M1911A1 is (briefly) used by a Mafia member in Episode 44 ("Buildup X To A X Fierce Battle"); more are used by Mafia members in Episode 51 ("A X Brutal X Battlefield") and 52, with Pakunoda also using one in the former episode.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt M1911A1 - .45 ACPError creating thumbnail: File missingA Mafia member holds his M1911A1 on Uvogin...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...only for the latter to punch clear through it. Needless to say, driving an M1911's slide off the back of the frame would be an incredible feat of strength, especially since he manages to do so without even moving his opponent's arm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda prepares to wipe the smug look off a Mafia guard's face, with the aid of a somewhat stretched-out M1911.Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe fires, with the show oddly picking this exact moment alone to show some discretion.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda wields an M1911 akimbo with a Desert Eagle; it looks noticeably different from the pistol above (with a round-backed slide and seemingly shorter barrel, though the latter could be blamed on perspective), though whether this is simply a continuity error or she's actually supposed to be using a different pistol altogether is unclear.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe guard on the left wields a somewhat vague M1911 variant (along with an even less identifiable pistol) as they face down Franklin's barrage.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSeveral Mafia members watch as another approaches from the flames, the closest one holding a somewhat oversized M1911 variant.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA Mafia member with an M1911 takes cover behind a car, while another opens fire with an M16A1.
IMI Desert Eagle
Pakunoda briefly uses an IMI Desert Eagle in Episode 51. A guard in Episode 52 uses one in a continuity error, and Zenji also uses one in Episode 53 ("Fake X And X Psyche").
Error creating thumbnail: File missingIMI Desert Eagle Mark VII - .357 MagnumError creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda with her pistols; the Desert Eagle (right) appears to have been drawn a bit thin, though its distinctive muzzle profile is still apparent. What's not apparent is which exact version this is, so the choice of a Mark VII as a reference image was more or less arbitrary.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe guard on the right holds a Desert Eagle; this is a continuity error, as he was using an M1911 variant in the previous shot. The guard on the left, meanwhile, appears to be struggling to grasp the concept of a Thompson.Error creating thumbnail: File missingZenji threatens Kurapika Kurta with his Desert Eagle; like Pakunoda's, it appears to be drawn rather thin.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSeeing Kurapika's lack of response, Zenji then racks the slide; carrying the weapon with an empty chamber isn't the best idea, but then again, Zenji is a Mafia capo who likely doesn't expect to see much direct combat.
Smith & Wesson Model 36
What appear to be Smith & Wesson Model 36 revolvers (or possibly another similar S&W model) are used by the police officers that attempt to arrest Basho in Episode 39 ("Wish x And x Promise").
What appears to be a Smith & Wesson Model 66 (or, again, another similar model) is briefly seen in the hands of a Mafia member in Episode 43 ("A x Shocking x Tragedy").
What appear to be Steyr GB pistols are used by some of the Eleven Black Children, Shachmono Tocino's Nen-based soldiers; they are only used during the Children's first (i.e. planned) appearance, presumably because their armaments are separate from them, and thus need to be handed out to them in advance.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingSteyr GB - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingTwo of the Black Children burst into frame, GBs in hand; the further of the two holds his left-handed, showing that it has wood grip panels.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe closer Child fires his, while a third enters the shot even closer.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWith the blur gone, the third Child's pistol is more clearly visible; while some of the details are off from the real deal (most notably the boxier slide, along with smaller wooden grip panels and a shorter front sight), the resemblance is still apparent.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother view of the Children; the GB's characteristic front barrel collar (part of its gas-delayed blowback mechanism) is clearly visible here.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSeveral 9mm projectiles suspended on one of Kurapika's chains; the slugs appear to be solid copper, and were presumably moving rather slowly given that they're still in one piece (and the fact that they were stopped with a spinning chain).Error creating thumbnail: File missingA view of the Children from above; this being a relatively brief shot, their pistols' proportions are... inconsistent, to put it lightly.
Walther PPK
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with a stainless Walther PPK.
A nickel-plated Webley Mark VI is Pakunoda's signature weapon, seen first during the 2nd OP sequence, "Departure! -second version-". For all its association with the character, she only actually uses it twice; rather than conventional ammunition, it is used exclusively to fire Nen-based "Memory Bomb" rounds, which contain a fixed set of information that is instantly conveyed to anyone shot in the head with them.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingWebley Mark VI (nickel-plated) - .455 WebleyError creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda with her Webley in the second OP sequence; while her choice to point it straight at her own head with the hammer cocked seems a bit less suicidal when the nature of its ammunition is considered, it still doesn't make too much sense - the most she could hope to accomplish is transferring information directly to herself.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda and her revolver also show up (ableit silhouetted) in the 2nd ED sequence, "Hunting For Your Dream"; the hammer is cocked again here, though the position of the text makes it a bit hard to see.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe first shot of Pakunoda's Webley in the show proper, with the former cleaning the latter; this is seen in Episode 43.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAn imagine spot of the Phantom Troupe, with Pakunoda and her Webley on the bottom-right; this appears to be the same basic art as the ED sequence, but in full detail rather than silhouetted.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA series of frames from the secondary, Troupe-featuring version of the 2nd OP sequence (first seen in Episode 52); Pakunoda fades into frame...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...levels her revolver...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and points it straight at the camera, before firing and filling the entire screen with a muzzle flash.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda holds Squala at gunpoint, as seen in the revolver's first actual instance of use (in Episode 56, "Beloved X And X Beleaguered").Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe then conjures two of her special rounds...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...which, once they stop glowing, look more or less normal.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThey do not, however, look like anything a normal Mark VI (or any Webley, for that matter) would fire, being semi-rimmed, bottlenecked, and spitzer-pointed (rather than the rimmed, straight-walled, round-nosed profile of normal .455 Webley rounds). Notably, this also means that she was threatening Squala with an empty gun.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA series of frames from the subsequent sequence - first, Pakunoda raises the revolver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe apparently manages to cock the hammer during this motion, though no associated hand movement is shown.Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe then lowers the revolver...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and takes aim; the weapon's barrel seems a bit large here.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis, of course, brings her ability's title card into frame. The associated English subtitle is notably less dramatic.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda aiming at Nobunaga Hazama (only some of the Troupe's members seem to have surnames); the revolver seems a bit squashed here, though perspective likely plays a role in this.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda fires; while blurry, it appears that the projectile shown here is the entire loaded cartridge, rather than just a bullet. To be fair, it is made of Nen (i.e. literal magic, hence the purple muzzle flash), so it doesn't necessarily work like a conventional round. Now might also be a good time to point out that the revolver itself is presumably also conjured from Nen, unless the viewer is meant to believe that Pakunoda can somehow hide a full-size service revolver in that outfit.Error creating thumbnail: File missingDespite being made of Nen, these rounds still apparently produce smoke.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda holding her fully-loaded revolver during its second (and final) on-screen use, in Episode 58 ("Signal X To X Retreat").Error creating thumbnail: File missingSurrounded with Nen, she raises the Webley.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother view of the above scene, showing the underside of the revolver...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and the muzzle, as she aims it.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThese two shots are then repeated as close-ups, albeit with separate artwork (rather than the re-used assets one might expect - note the larger trigger guard compared to the previous side-on shot).Error creating thumbnail: File missingTo give this image an adequately dramatic caption would be a major spoiler, so it'll have to be taken at face value.
Unknown Revolver
Various patrons of the Hunter-exclusive information website carry holstered revolvers (in keeping with the site's Wild West theme); these are never unholstered, and thus difficult to give a specific ID.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingGon and Killua sit down at the website's bar, next to a presumably-virtual patron with a holstered revolver; the out-of-focus patron in the foreground also has one.
Submachine Guns
M1A1 Thompson
Starting in Episode 51, Mafia guards make frequent use of M1A1 Thompson submachine guns.
While most of the AK variants used by Mafia guards in Episode 51 are Norinco Type 56s (described below), at least a few appear to be AK-74s without muzzle brakes. Pakunoda also briefly uses one in Episode 52.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingAK-74 - 5.45x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingThe guard on the right holds an AK-74; this appears to be a continuity error, as the previous shot showed him with a Type 56, but the straighter magazine and 90-degree gas block are evident.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTwo guards under Machi's control unload onto another group; the upside-down guard on the left has an AK-74.Error creating thumbnail: File missingPakunoda hip-fires a pilfered AK while back-to-back with Shalnark; notably, while it correctly ejects casings to the right, it is shown with its charging handle and ejection port on the left.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA rather bored-looking guard stands outside the Ten Dons' meeting, AK-74 in hand; holding a rifle muzzle-up in the rain probably isn't the greatest idea.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother guard holding his AK somewhat more sensibly; notably, in addition to the 90-degree gas block and 5.45mm magazine, it also has a Type 56-esque hooded front sight.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA pair of AK-wielding guards approach Kurapika, informing him that the fighting has ended.
Colt M16A1
Some of the Mafia guards also use M16 variants, seemingly Colt M16A1s.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt M16A1 - 5.56x45mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingA guard looks over at Neon and Chrollo, M16A1 in hand; this is about the second shot of the rifle in the show, and probably the most detailed. The full-fence lower, early-style rear sight and forward assist, and lack of a brass deflector all peg this as an A1; notably, it lacks an autosear pin in the lower receiver, indicating that a civilian semi-auto variant may have been used as a reference.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother shot from the above scene, giving a good view of the handguard and front sight block.Error creating thumbnail: File missingGuards at the Cemetery Building's entrance speak to Light Nostrade and Kurapika; two wield M16s, whose distance from the "camera" is presumably to blame for their low detail.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA group of guards fail to respond in time to Franklin's barrage; the one on the right holds an M16A1 straight up.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother guard opens fire on... yet another guard; while some details are missing, the rifle's features are still evidently those of an A1.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMore guards under fire from Franklin; the center one's M16 seems slightly too short, though not quite short enough to confidently change the ID.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA guard's attempt at calling for backup is rather rudely interrupted by a large explosion.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe same shot as above, with Shalnark controlling an M16-wielding guard; despite being shown relatively briefly, and not being the focus of the shot, it is drawn with most of the appropriate details.
M4A1 Carbine
A Mafia member in Episode 43 is briefly seen with what appears to be an M4A1 Carbine (or a similar AR variant).
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt M4A1 - 5.56x45mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingThe Mafia member (center-left); while the proportions are rather wide of the mark (with an oversized receiver, a massive dustcover, and a comparatively tiny carrying handle and handguard), the combination of a clearly-detachable carrying handle and a carbine-length barrel and gas system (with the back of the front sight block just visible to the left of the middle man's head, nevermind that his head wouldn't cover the end of the gun if it had a full-length barrel) make an M4A1 or something of the sort the most reasonable guess.
Norinco Type 56
A substantial chunk of the Mafia guards in Episode 51 use Norinco Type 56s, both fixed-stock models and under-folding Type 56-1s.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingNorinco Type 56 with milled receiver and no bayonet - 7.62x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingA dead mafia guard lying next to his Norinco; precisely how the barrel managed to end up like that is never explained, though Phinks is probably to blame.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTwo guards hipfire and retreat, looking visibly distressed about shooting at one of their former comrades.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA close-up of a guard-turned-marionette's rifle; note that the safety is on, and the charging handle appears to be missing.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe shot sweeps down the length of the rifle, showing off the somewhat odd upper handguard...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and then the gas block and front sight, the latter (with its full-circle hood) being a telltale sign of a Type 56 (as opposed to an original Soviet AK).Error creating thumbnail: File missingA bewildered guard, mere moments before meeting his neck-twisting end; note how his AK features a "Swiss Grater"-style upper handguard.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother guard under Shalnark's control; again, note the fully-hooded front sight.Error creating thumbnail: File missingYet another guard displaying symptoms common to an encounter with the Troupe; an odd vertical line has been drawn in the middle of the receiver dimple, making it somewhat resemble an AR-15's dust cover.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA rather uneasy-looking guard holding a Type 56; the stock is rather oddly angled downwards...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...though it straightens out as soon as he raises the weapon. Notably, it starts ejecting brass the frame before he actually begins firing.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA (rather blurry) FPS view of the same guard's rifle, as seen on Shalnark's cell phone; his Nen ability, "Black Voice", allows him to control anyone stuck with one of his darts through this device. Precisely how he manages this with a phone that has so few buttons isn't ever explained.Error creating thumbnail: File missingNorinco Type 56-1 with milled receiver - 7.62x39mmError creating thumbnail: File missingSeveral guards stand by the elevator as Chrollo and Neon exit; the leftmost one has a Type 56-1.Error creating thumbnail: File missingTwo of Machi's guard-puppets fire their AKs; while neither is particularly detailed here, the one on the right features a folding stock.
Remington Model 700PSS
A Mafia sniper in Episode 44 is seen with what appears to be a Remington Model 700PSS; like most of the weapons used by the Mafia in this episode, it is used briefly, and to little effect.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingRemington Model 700PSS - 7.62x51mm NATOError creating thumbnail: File missingThe first view of the sniper's rifle is not of the rifle itself, but rather the reticle of its scope. The man under the crosshair should tell you everything you need to know about how this ends.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe audience is then treated to a sweeping shot of the rifle itself, first showing off the bipod and heavy-profile barrel...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...and then the scope, stock, receiver, and sniper. Note the oddly short ejection port; this is presumably a by-product of perspective, though as this is the only shot of the entire receiver provided and no rounds or spent cases are ever seen, it's possible that it was drawn that way intentionally.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA close-up of the trigger group and bolt handle as the sniper prepares to take his shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missingImmediately regretting his decision, the sniper shows off a decent view of his rifle's bolt and scope.
Unknown Sniper Rifle
The aptly-named character Siper uses a somewhat nondescript sniper rifle; based on its design, it is presumably semi-automatic, though it can't be said for sure since, despite practically never being seen without it, Siper never actually fires the rifle on-screen.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe first shot of Siper and her sniper rifle, seen in Episode 3 ("Rivals x For x Survival"; spaces in Hunter X Hunter episode titles are always filled with a silent "x").Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother group shot of the Hunter examinees, showing off more of the rifle; note how it has a rather oddly thick stock, and a front sight but no rear sight (not that one would be of much use, considering the height of the receiver).Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper runs through the Nemure Wetlands with her rifle on her back (in Episode 5, "Hisoka x is x Sneaky"); it appears to use a military-style 3-point sling, though where the front sling mount actually is isn't clear due to Gon's haircut.Error creating thumbnail: File missingWaiting for the exam's third phase to end in Episode 12 ("Last Test x of x Resolve"; the lack of an "x" between the first two words is deliberate, likely because "last test" is one word in Japanese), Siper cleans her rifle; its design is noticeably different here, with a less bulky (and more rounded) receiver, a shorter forend, a longer scope, and a considerably larger ejection port that sits oddly far forward in the equally-strangely-long receiver. The third hook point on the sling also isn't visible here, though it could simply be obscured by Siper's arm.Error creating thumbnail: File missingShe then stops and silently judges the camera (along with Sommy's weird human-faced monkey-thing); precisely how the scope is actually attached to her rifle isn't entirely clear.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper stands outside Trick Tower in Episode 14 ("Hit x The x Target"); note how here, she carries it with one sling strap over her left shoulder...Error creating thumbnail: File missing...whereas, in the next shot where she appears, it has a 3-point sling.Error creating thumbnail: File missingSiper takes careful aim at her target; this is probably the clearest shot of the rifle in the entire show. As mentioned, the layout of the ejection port suggests a semi-auto, though there isn't an obvious charging handle; if there is one, it's presumably on the left side of the receiver, since only the right side is ever shown. The scope now features a simple mount (two posts, and no rings or rails); the barrel is still rather odd, having some sort of thick section or shroud that runs the length of the handguard (possibly a free-float tube of some kind), and the receiver is once again large and boxy.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA view through Siper's rifle's duplex-crosshair scope as she lines up a shot on Gittarackur. This sequence is shown in both this episode and the next one ("Scramble x Of x Deception"), explaining what happened immediately afterwards: taking far too long to act (despite seemingly having a clear shot the entire time), Siper becomes the victim of the now-classic through-the-scope shot. With a needle.
Shotguns
Ithaca 37
Some of the Mafia guards in Episode 51 use Ithaca 37 shotguns.
One of the numerous Mafia men in Episode 44 uses an M20 "Super Bazooka" against Uvogin; notably, it is actually referred to by name (or rather, by nickname) by its user. Precisely why the Mafia thought such a weapon was necessary to bring along to what they believed would be a fight against ordinary human beings isn't ever elaborated upon; regardless, the fact that such a weapon would normally be overkill winds up being a bit of a moot point.
Several background characters (Mafia members in particular) are seen with generic firearms, often too low in detail to make a confident ID possible.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingTwo Mafia members in the background holding assault rifles vaguely reminiscent of the Beretta AR-70/90; given the similar(ly odd) folding stock design, the man in the foreground appears to have a similar rifle as well.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA Mafia member with a generic AK-esque rifle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother shot from the same scene, showing another man with a generic pistol-gripped pump-action shotgun.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMore Mafia men, with one holding another generic shotgun; given the grip angle, this one appears to have a sawn-down stock, rather than a proper pistol grip.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA police officer enforcing a checkpoint holds a somewhat generic rifle.Error creating thumbnail: File missingKurapika stops a group of Mafia guards and a doctor just outside Neon's room for being dressed too normally an examination with his Dowsing Chain ability; the one closest to the wall holds a weapon which seems to start as a flat-topped AR variant and then switch to being an AK behind the doctor's head.
Franklin's Hands
Franklin Bordeau's Nen ability is his "Double Machine Gun", a set of 10 submachine guns mounted in his fingers; being Nen-based, they fire Nen bullets, and thus don't have any obvious operating mechanism.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingFranklin popping the chain-retained ends off of his fingers; there isn't any apparent cause for this, so it's probably Nen.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe Phantom Troupe take their "No Flash Photography" policy very seriously.Error creating thumbnail: File missingMere frames before Franklin begins unloading into the crowd; note that, presumably because of this fact, many of his victims are already acting as though they've been shot.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFranklin fires; while they don't require casings, space for a bolt, or even any obvious storage location, Nen bullets apparently still make muzzle flashes.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnd require rifled barrels, for that matter.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFranklin once again disconnects his fingertips; the chains seem to just trail off into the ends of his fingers here, though this is simply a product of perspective.Error creating thumbnail: File missingA muzzle-on view; not something that most live to describe.Error creating thumbnail: File missingFranklin once again opens fire on the Mafia; here, the hooks holding onto his fingers' chains are apparent, though whether these are always conspicuously visible or only appear when he pops them off isn't quite as clear.
