Jormungand (named for the serpent in Norse mythology that grew so big that 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 Johnathan "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 series is notable for the amount of research and detail put into both the weapons and the various military factions that appear throughout the series. The television adaptation began airing on April 10, 2012; a second season has already been greenlit and the first season has been licensed by Funimation for a North American release.
The following firearms were seen in the anime television series Jormungand :
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.
Koko gives Jonah a Colt XSE as a decoy weapon before their confrontation with Kroshkin in "Gun Metal, Calico Road" (S1E01). Mildo and Lu also use XSEs as their sidearms in "Pulsar".
Mao uses a Heckler & Koch G36K rifle as his primary weapon. A few other G36Ks show up throughout the series.

Lehm is seen firing a Remington 700PSS rifle during the opening sequence. Another 700PSS is seen in "Musica Ex. Machina, Part 1" in the hands of Dubai SWAT snipers.
During the chase scene in the pilot episode, a Voshkod 6 operator tries to take out Koko and Jonah's car with an FGM-148 Javelin. Koko manages to correctly identify the weapon by just the sound the rocket makes when it detonates.
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.
