The following firearms were seen used in the Anime Black Lagoon

File:BLmaincast.jpg
The main cast from the left to right, Dutch, Revy, Rock, and Benny. Rare image where Rock ever wields a gun like he knows how to use it wearing most likely a standard shoulder holster unlike Revy who has a double for her other gun.

Like many anime, Black Lagoon is a manga, currently still running. The anime consists of two 12 episode television series and a five part OVA which is currently airing.

The story takes places in the 1990s and follows Okajima Rokuro, an ordinary Japanese businessman who's happened to have mixed himself up with a band of mercenaries in the South China sea. Unable to return home, "Rock" joined this "company" in their many variety of missions, which may involve violent firefights, hand-to-hand combat, or nautical battles in various Southeast Asian locations, and when not doing much, the members of the Lagoon Company spend much of their down time at The Yellow Flag, a bar in the fictional city of Roanapur, Thailand.

Handguns

Custom Beretta 92FS Inox aka "Praiyachat Sword Cutlass Special"

The weapons of choice for the main female character, Revy are twin modified Beretta 92FS Inox model pistols, which are stainless steel and have a 5.9 inch barrel and slide configuration, 1 inch longer than any standard Beretta 92 model. They are engraved with "9mm Sword Cutlass", the Jolly Roger of the famous pirate Calico Jack (which is also inlaid into the ivory grips), and an inscription in Thai. Revy calls it the "Praiyachat Sword Cutlass Special". Due to Revy's ambidextrous marksmanship skills, she is nicknamed "Two Hands" by the people of Roanapur. Revy always wears her Cutlass pistols from double cross-draw shoulder holsters and almost always draws them simultaneously to lay down an incredible rate of suppressing fire.

OVA OP

Smith & Wesson Model 629

This Smith & Wesson Model 629 is Dutch's sidearm throughout the series and he is so proficient with it that he can fire it from his hip and hit several targets dead on.

I know what you're thinking, is he gonna make a Dirty Harry reference, or isn't he? Well, to tell you the truth in all it's years of circulation I've kinda lost my liking for the film. I mean it's gotten cheezy, so I decided to make my own little parody of the famous quote, and with that being said, you have to ask yourself one question; "Do I think this is funny?" Well do ya, lil' punk?

Glock 17

Glock 17s were shown as the most prominent handgun for the Colombian Mafia during the bar scene in the first episode of the OVA. It is somewhat anachronistic since the Glocks shown were 3rd Generation because they all have the accessory rail, which didn't come out until the late 90s. It is confirmed that the series takes place in 1995 so it is unlikely that the Colombian Mafia would have gotten a hold of any Glocks pass 2nd Generation.

Glock 17L

A Glock 17L is used by Sister Eda, who is part of a group called "The Church of Violence", an arms dealing racket.

Eda aims her Glock 17L at one of the "freaks" from the "Greenback Jane" story arc who informs Eda (and the audience) that he knows she is working for the CIA. Of course,that is classified information, and she's got a gun to his head, so she thinks that a little extension of discretion is in order. In other words, *BANG!*

Modified Luger P08 Artillery model

This seemed to be based off the Luger P08 Artillery Model Pistol and was seen used by one of the Aryan soldiers, but was never fired. It was seen cocked twice for some odd reason since the character already cocked it once in a previous scene. The unique Luger seen was apparently a custom built firearm with a gold finish, an artillery length barrel and chambered for .454 Casull rounds. The Soldier referred to the gun as "the Eiserne Reich Luger Special". He also mentions features for the gun such as a "two bullet chamber" (a bad translation for "double-stack magazine"), which don't entirely make sense, but the endless ranting matches the profile of a supremacist who does nothing but talk of the greatness of what he holds, both in his hand and heart, his dark, misguided heart.

Tokarev TT-33

Tokarev TT-33 Pistols were seen used by numerous characters, but primarily with the Russian Mafia, Hotel Moscow, and it is their standard sidearm. It is also seen used by the guerrilla Ibraha.

During a split second flashback in the OVA, we see Roberta clutching a Makarov PM.

1911

Multiple variants of the 1911 has been seen several times in the series either up close by central characters or in the foreground by random thugs. Most appear blued and not Parkerized, and feature the full bar safety.

AMT Hardballer Longslide

Chang dual wields two (somehow blued and not stainless steel) AMT Hardballer pistols with extended slide assemblies. You figure that since he is an allegory for Chow Yun-Fat's various characters in John Woo Films, he'd have two Beretta 92FS Pistols, but then he'd be so close to the inspiration there might just be a lawsuit of some sort. Interesingly enough in the most recent chapters of the manga he even claims to be a former cop.

Ruger Blackhawk

A Ruger Blackhawk was used by Chaka, who fancied himself as some kind of wild west gunman. It was later destroyed when Ginji sliced it up with his superhuman strength and sword. From the looks of it, Chaka's Ruger has a rear end sight. In this case it is not a Single Action Army; it is Ruger's base on an SAA.

Sistema Colt Modelo 1927

Two of these are used solely by Roberta, a former FARC guerrilla trained as an assassin, who cleverly disguises herself as a maid do escape her old life of warfare and death. It makes sense for Roberta to carry Sistemas since she comes from South America.

Accu-Tek HC-380

This was used in the last episode once by Balalaika when she asked her Yakuza equivalent in Japan to oblige her with his guard's weapons. The second gun, an Accu-Tek HC-380 causes her to lose it as she calls it an "atrocious" gun. On closer inspection it looked like the artist drew "Picatinny Rails" along the top of the slide (which are actually anti-glare serrations). She kills the Yakuza boss and his guard with it, and tosses it to Rock as a gift, claiming it was a good weapon after all. Rock, the ever passive businessman, declines the gun, and thanks Balalaika for her deed.

Smith & Wesson Model 439

Revy started her life of crime at a young age. The series alludes to her being responsible for a murder in her past, and she also explicitly stated that she killed people as a kid. In one of her flashbacks she is seen using a Smith & Wesson Model 439 to shoot cans.

Ruger P90

The leader of the Colombian cartel carries and fires a Ruger P90 at Roberta in the "Maid to Kill" story arc. Much later in the series, Balalaika requests to see the Japanese Bodyguard's weapons in the final negotiation. He hands her his Ruger P90, with a grey finish and wood grips, similar to the ".45 Ruger" seen in an episode of Law & Order: Criminal Intent.

Fabiola Iglesias uses 2 South African madeTechno Arms MAG-7 shotguns in the OVA. For some reason, Fabiola's MAG-7s fire in semi-auto instead of pump action as that is how the real shotgun works and she's using buckshots. The scene where Fabiola takes out her MAG-7s, has a very Desperado feel to it, because it involves the Colombians dealing with someone deceivingly dangerous in a bar and the MAG-7s comes out of her sleeves.

Assault Rifles

Heckler & Koch G3

The Heckler & Koch G3 was first seen in the first episode when Revy tossed one to Rock to use to defend himself. He didn't know anything about guns and refused. After a heated battled with a Hind helicopter, in a fit of rage, he threw the rifle in the air and into the ocean, pissing off Revy because it must have cost her plenty. G3 rifles have been seen in the hands of Triad boss, Chang's, security detail in a few episodes though they sometimes go back to AKs.

These are the weapons, obviously the AK-47, used by almost every faction in the entire anime. Symbolism to the obvious prolific nature of the infamous Assault Rifle. It has been used by all the factions. Balalaika's men during their services as part of the Russian special forces also used AK47s.

Though there are AK-47's seen all over the anime, I also think there's Norinco Type 56's thrown into the mix as well. This is determined by the hooded front sight seen on the majority of the assault rifles. That would also make sense since Black Lagoon takes place in Thailand (though the town itself is fictional), it would more likely be that there's more Type 56's than AK-47s, except for in the hands of the Russian Mafia members. -DJ T-Tom

AK-74

Since all of Balalaika's men were Ex-Russian Paratroopers or elements of Special Forces, they would use AK-74s.

APS Underwater Assault Rifle

An APS Underwater Assault Rifle was used once as one of those exotic 15 minutes of fame kind of guns that makes a "guest" appearence in an episode. This rifle was given to Revy from Dutch at the end of one episode for an underwater mission to retrieve a precious painting from a sunken Nazi submarine that ended up in the South Pacific. Revy fired the weapon inside the sub against the Neo-Nazis that also were after this prize. Since the weapon was designed to function both above and under water, the weapon was still able to function properly in the air-filled submarine. She later fired the gun underwater at two divers on the surface next to the pod, which is what the APS Underwater was designed for.

M16A1

In several scenes, we see random mercenaries in the background using M16A1s. On closer look, all of them are the kinds that were first seen in action during the Vietnam conflict. It makes sense since they are most likely mercenary groups in the South Pacific. After any major war, there is always surplus in arms supplies. During the flashback in the first OVA episode, US troops are seen using the M16A1, as noted with the forward assist on them.

Remington 700 Sniper Rifle

Have yet to get a picture of this weapon Revy uses once in episode 11. I know it's a Remington because she says in on screen and also mentions a type of ammo called Hydra API(Armor Piercing Incendiary). Whatever it is, it has a wooden frame, a very basic look to it. Nothing special almost like a hunting rifle. Attached was a scope, maybe a 10x. The Anime has her fire two shots from the gun while in scoped view, without any bolt action sounds, but there is spacing between the shots, so the sound reception for the viewer could just be at a distance.

File:Revy'srifle.jpg

Gepard Anti Materiel Rifle

In the first episode, Revy busted out this rifle only once. She referred to it as her anti-tank rifle, but never said what it was. It's either a Gepard M2 or M3 varient. As the size of the weapon changes with the shot I can't tell wich exact model it is. In the first picture it looks like a 14.5mm M6 model. Though oddly being an anti-tank rifle, the shots did no damage to a Hind that was attacking them in the first 2 episodes.

Karabiner 98k

A German soldier was seen wielding and shooting a Karabiner 98k in the flashback on the sub. Though I'm pretty sure any small arms fire inside a sub would be both loud and dangerous, but it wouldn't have mattered since the sub in the flashback was stuck.

Browning Automatic Rifle M1918A3

The Browning Automatic Rifle was one of the specialty weapons used in the series to show a more personal aspect in how an assassin and her choice of gun is. This awesome weapon of the past is used by Gretel, the girl twin of a very disturbing pair of assassins. Because it's an anime, the artists several times, drew the BAR to be extremely bigger than the user to show how freakishly strong she is. Apparently she uses the M1918A3 model introduced in 1940.

And Gretal usually hides it in a cute blanket with a small teddy bear attached to the end of a string holding the whole thing together. In the first instance Gretel busted her weapon out, there was a small doll handing at the end of the sling. BAR she uses has a more dark grey finish to it.

Handheld M134 Minigun

An extra part of a large group of mercenaries hired to get Jane held an M134 Minigun like he was in Teminator 2 hence the "Chainsaw Grip"(The Predator model had an M60 machine gun handguard instead) , shredding through a door, but in the end was defeated by the fact that it takes a split second for the barrel to spin up and fire.

Arwen 37

Twice in the series, an Arwen 37 Grenade launcher of unknown type was show it looked similar to the one in picture. The ARWEN 37 is a less-lethal launcher which fires 37 mm less-lethal rounds (foam or wooden or tear gas payload) designed for riot control. It has a 5-round rotary drum magazine. "ARWEN" is an acronym for "Anti Riot Weapon ENfield".

The real version was designed in 1977 by the British Royal Small Arms Factory (RSAF) Enfield, then part of the Royal Ordnance Factories. It came out of a British Military request for a multi-shot riot control weapon. Three prototypes were designed and tested: a semi-automatic weapon, a rotary-drum weapon, and a pump-action weapon. At the end of testing the rotary-drum model was put into production.

As of 2001, all ARWEN trademarks and patents are owned by Police Ordnance Company Inc. The weapon is manufactured under license in Canada.

Originally this weapon in real life is supposed to be a less than lethal launcher that would fire tear gas among other types of less than lethal ammo, but in the series it fired actual grenades, creating large explosions.

China Lake Launcher

In the first OVA, Fabiola takes out a China Lake Launcher from her back. Hers has a folding stock. It's noted that she fires each grenade without pumping it as the real world launcher is a pump action.

Special Weapons

RPG

Seen in use quite a few times in the series, but was first seen used by Revy at the end of episode one when she fired a "warning shot" at a larger carrier ship to make them stop so they can rob them. In Episode 11 when given a new job by Chang, one of the attackers fired an RPG into Lagoon's apartment, making Revy shot RPG in slow motion.

M2 Flamethrower

Seen in the used of a man who calls himself the "Torchweaver" for obvious reasons making comments that all have to deal with fire like grilling, cook outs, and BBQ. Apparently Torch has a simple looking lighter that actually spits out an amazing wall of flame and then pulls his actual flame thrower seeming out of no where.

BGM-71 TOW

BGM-71 TOW missile launchers are used by the Neo-Nazis on their ship they took to the South Pacific seas for their mission. The ship alone was just a research type freighter, so they wouldn't naturally have weapons against other ships. To the dismay and surprise of the Lagoon crew, the Neo-Nazis fired several missiles against them, which narrowly survived the attack by running out of missile range.
