Error creating thumbnail: File missing Webley RIC No. 1 New Model with 4.5" barrel - .476 Enfield Error creating thumbnail: File missing British police officers fire their revolvers in the OP sequence, "JoJo ~A Fate Determined By His Blood~". Error creating thumbnail: File missing A slightly later frame, showing the flying bullets. Error creating thumbnail: File missing These bullets are rendered somewhat oddly, being shown with a full brass jacket and a dimple on the exposed lead at the base. They may have been partially drawn based on unfired cartridges. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The police officers open fire on Dio. Note the onomatopoeia, a staple of the series. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The policemen hold their revolvers in the background. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close-up shot of one of the revolvers, as Jonathan reaches to grab it. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Jonathan holds the revolver on Dio.

Part 2: Battle Tendency Colt Official Police In Episode 10 ("New York's JoJo"), one of the two New York City police officers wields what appears to be a Colt Official Police revolver.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing Colt Official Police with 4" barrel - .38 Special Error creating thumbnail: File missing The police officer draws his revolver. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another view of the revolver. The muzzle appears somewhat oversized, though this is likely an issue of perspective. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close-up shot of the hammer moving backwards as the policeman pulls the trigger. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shot of the frame as Joseph's bottlecap flies towards the policeman's finger. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another shot, giving a good view of the revolver's frame.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Webley Mk VI - .455 Webley Error creating thumbnail: File missing The hijacker points his revolver at Joseph. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another view of the revolver. M1A1 Thompson The other two hijackers use M1A1 Thompson submachine guns without handguards. Seeing as this scene takes place in 1933, the M1A1 is anachronistic.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing M1A1 Thompson - .45 ACP Error creating thumbnail: File missing The hijacker points his Thompson at Joseph. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The third hijacker in the background with his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A full view of the submachine gun's profile.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing M1928 Thompson with 50-round drum magazine - .45 ACP Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph draws his M1928 Thompson. It isn't clear where he was carrying it. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph fires the Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another view. Note the star-shaped muzzle flash, inconsistent with the M1928's Cutts compensator. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close-up shot of the submachine gun's ejection port. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph firing the submachine gun, while Smokey Brown asks a rhetorical question. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another frame from the stitched shot above. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph ceases firing. Note how there are bullet impacts at the base of the window; it isn't clear how or why Joseph would shoot there. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph holding his Thompson upright while standing at the window. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph kicks a table while holding his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph holds the weapon towards the ground while ignoring Smokey next to him. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph inspects a fired .45 ACP bullet.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another close-up shot, showing the trigger; the weapon clicks empty as Joseph attempts to fire it. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph grabs his Thompson by the barrel. Error creating thumbnail: File missing He lifts the weapon over his head. Error creating thumbnail: File missing He then swings it. Due to this being an intermediary frame, the stock is blurry, and the barrel is bent. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph's strike hitting Straizo. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Straizo getting sent through a window by Joseph's stock-bash. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Joseph attempting to finish Straizo by channeling Hamon through his Thompson. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another frame from the above scene.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A later frame, showing how these wires are connected to several pins. Error creating thumbnail: File missing These pins were attached to the eight additional grenades hidden in Straizo's scarf. As with the Thompson, it isn't clear where Joseph was hiding these. 8.8cm FlaK 36 During Episode 11's explanation of World War II, German soldiers are seen firing an 8.8cm FlaK 36 anti-aircraft cannon.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing 8.8cm FlaK 36 - 88x571mmR Error creating thumbnail: File missing German soldiers firing the FlaK. Karabiner 98k In Episode 12 ("The Pillar Man"), two of the German guards outside the secret facility in Mexico use rifles; while they are not particularly detailed, their general features (and the context) make the most likely choice the Karabiner 98k .

Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another view, from behind the guards. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A side-on shot of the rifles; note the odd angle of their stocks. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A closer view. The rifles' receivers are simplistic in design. Error creating thumbnail: File missing One of the guards yells at Joseph; here, the receiver appears to be more detailed. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards hold their rifles. The structure under the barrel appears to be either an oversized cleaning rod or a misplaced gas tube. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards are hit with coconuts; this is the last time their rifles are seen. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guard in the center holds a similar rifle. MP40 The majority of the German guards inside the secret facility use MP40 submachine guns. Santana also takes one and disassembles it in Episode 13, "JoJo vs. The Ultimate Lifeforms". As this scene takes place in 1938, they are anachronistic.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing MP40 - 9x19mm Error creating thumbnail: File missing A guard next to Rudol von Stroheim with an MP40 slung over his shoulder. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim warns a guard with a slung MP40. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guard removes the submachine gun from his shoulder. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Some of the guards react to Santana's appearance with MP40s slung over their shoulders.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A later frame; note that their submachine guns are now more correctly proportioned. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards fire their MP40s at Santana. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards holding their empty weapons. Here they appear to have been drawn too large. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards react to their MP40s' ineffectiveness; the center-left guard appears to be pulling his gun's cocking handle. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guards stand back, holding their MP40s. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close-up shot of the receiver of an MP40 as the guard holding it is shot by Santana. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The guard falls, with the surrounding guards watching and holding their MP40s.

Note the exaggerated size of the head's base ring. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A close-up shot of the grenade. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim prepares to arm the grenade. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim pulls out the detonator string with his teeth. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The last shot of Stroheim with his grenade. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The grenade explodes as Joseph attempts to get closer. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another shot of the explosion. How it didn't kill Joseph isn't clear. Fictional Machine Gun Rudol von Stroheim has a collapsible machine gun of apparently fictional design in his torso in Episode 19 ("A Race Toward the Brink"). According to Stroheim, it fires at 600 rounds per minute, and is capable of piercing 30 millimeters of steel. After this episode, it also appears in the ending sequence.
Error creating thumbnail: File missing The ammunition belt of the machine gun. Error creating thumbnail: File missing The machine gun's belt feed opening. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A view of the belt winding into Stroheim's body. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim striking a pose.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing A closer view of the machine gun. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim fires. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim firing at Kars. Here, the belt appears to be CGI. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Another view of the weapon firing. The spent cases are unusually short here. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A view of the flip-up sight used to aim the weapon. It appears to use a single magnifying lens. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A view of the belt. Again, it appears to be rendered with CGI. Error creating thumbnail: File missing A shot of the muzzle. The barrel is shown reciprocating when the weapon fires, indicating a recoil-operated design. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Several bullets slashed by Kars. Error creating thumbnail: File missing More slashed bullets. Despite supposedly being armor-piercing rounds, these lack any sort of separate core. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Kars approaches Stroheim. Note the different color palette. This is the weapon's normal appearance, with the previous shots having been altered in the show's production. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Kars slashes the machine gun in two. Error creating thumbnail: File missing Stroheim firing his machine gun in the ED sequence, "Roundabout".
