Battle Royale
‘Battle Royale’ is a 1999 Japanese novel by Koushun Takami. It was later adapted into a live action film. Takami later published a 3,000 page illustrated manga version of the story.
The premise of ‘Battle Royale’ revolves around “The Program.” A government sponsored event which forces randomly selected junior high school classes to murder each other until there is only on survivor. Each student is given a duffle bag containing a randomly selected weapon. There weapons may be guns, knives, clubs, or toys. Many of the characters’ weapons differ in the three versions.
Ingram MAC-10 9mm
An Ingram MAC-10 9mm is the primary weapon used by villain Kazuo Kiriyama.
In the novel it is suggested that Kazuo’s weapon was in fact a blade as his first three victims were stabbed. It is from either Hiroshi Kuronaga, Ryuhei Sasagawa, or Izumi Kanai that the MAC-10 was obtained.
In the manga these three victims were killed with the MAC-10.
In the film Kazuo’s weapon is a paper fan. He quickly obtains an Uzi submachine gun which is his primary weapon. The MAC-10 is not featured.
Walther 9mm
In the novel Mitsuru Numai’s weapon is a Walther PPK 9mm. This becomes Kazuo’s backup weapon he keeps tucked in his belt.
In the manga the gun is changed to a Walther P99 9mm. Both guns were known for being used by James Bond.
