Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³ is a story of Yura Yamato in the prestigious Stella Women's Academy. Yura has a hard time making friends with the other girls around until she bumps into Rento Kirishima, who tries to recruit Yura into the school's airsoft club, C³ (derived from command, control, and communications). The club currently consists of Rento, Karila Hatsuse, Honoka Mutsu, Yachiyo Hinata, and Sonora Kashima (President and Yura's roommate). The story revolves around Yura's interactions with the C³ Club's members and activities.
Note: As this anime is about the sport of airsoft, all of the guns in the show are airsoft replicas, with the exception of a Desert Eagle wielded by Sonora in the first episode.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C3:
Sonora Kashima, president of the C³ Club, uses two chromed Desert Eagle Mark XIXs as her weapons of choice, and uses a real one while at a shooting competition in the US. She carries them in an unidentified leather horizontal shoulder holster. Rin Haruna, leader of the team from Meisei Girls' Academy, uses two black Desert Eagles as her sidearms. Both Sonora and Rin have had their respective pairs of Desert Eagles since they were very young. Miyagi Mochizuki of Team KGB uses a chrome Desert Eagle with 10-inch barrel and custom rear sight, safety, and grips. This Desert Eagle, called the "Leon Custom" by Tokyo Marui, is a replica of a pistol from the Resident Evil series.
Karila Hatsuse uses a Tokyo Marui Strike Warrior as her sidearm. This M1911-based pistol features the distinctive slide of a Detonics Combat Master, but on full-size frame, while is otherwise almost entirely custom/aftermarket parts.
Rento Kirishima uses a Tokyo Marui Glock 26 Advance as her sidearm, a fictional customized Glock 26 fitted with a compensator, rear target sight, and extended magazine. The same handgun also appears in Resident Evil: Degeneration.
Yachiyo Hinata uses a SIG-Sauer P228 as her main sidearm. This is the only gun regularly used by a member of the C³ Club that is not made by Tokyo Marui; it is made by WE.
The team from Meisei Girls' Academy uses the XDᴹ-40 4.5 as their sidearm, and it is issued out to all members of the team. Although the team is always referred to my their school name, they actually do have a team name: "Dangan Uchuu", which translates to "Hail Of Bullets". It's never spoken, but is seen on the wall behind Rin's desk at their firing range.

(Ep.9)Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnother angle of the range, this time with Kyouko's pistol mid-cycle. In this shot in the airing show, the pistols were all Desert Eagles; the animator most likely used Rin's Desert Eagle as a reference by mistake, but it was fixed in the blu-ray release. (Ep.9)Error creating thumbnail: File missingYura draws her XDᴹ in combat, needing something smaller than her MP5K-PDW. (Ep.10)Error creating thumbnail: File missingYura fires her XDᴹ at the Hail Of Bullets range. (Ep.10)Error creating thumbnail: File missingYura training with her XDᴹ, as Chisato and Rin discuss Yura's exceptional technical skill; Chisato serves as Rin's second-in-command. The lighting makes the pistol appear to have a two-tone finish in this scene. (Ep.10)
Beretta M9
Yura holds onto a Beretta M9 while participating in her first airsoft battle. This Tokyo Marui pistol has M9 trademarks, rather the 92FS's trademarks.
Akane Seto uses two red Glock 26s. They are part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series, which are low-powered airsoft pistols intended for children between the age of 10 and 18, and are available in various bright colours along with the standard black and two-tone silver finishes. In real life however, these pistols would be a poor choice to bring to a game as primary weapons due to their extremely low velocity and range.
Moe Seto, similar to her twin, uses a blue PPK/S, also part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series. A black PPK/S can be seen on the back of a "Field Queen Contest" poster.
A Field Queen Contest participant going by the name Anne Bonny, a reference to the famous female pirate of the same name, appropriately uses a Flintlock Pistol. Although not particularly detailed, it is most likely the Hawkins 1748 replica made by KTW. While that model would be anachronistic for the character she's roleplaying, the KTW Hawkins 1878 is the only widespread airsoft flintlock pistol, making it the only real option for someone cosplaying a pirate and in need of a flintlock pistol.
The customized Beretta 92FS Brigadier from the Resident Evil series appears to be used by Kiku Nagato, who is cosplaying Jill Valentine (specifically her Resident Evil 3: Nemesis outfit) in the Field Queen Contest. Tokyo Marui makes a whole line of customized guns from the Resident Evil series, which is known as Biohazard in Japan.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingTM Beretta 92FS Brigadier "Samurai Edge" - 6mm BBError creating thumbnail: File missingJill Valentine Kiku Nagato surrenders to Rin Haruna, holding up her exceptionally generic-looking pistol. However, given her outfit it can be assumed this is a Samurai Edge pistol; the proportions are also consistent with a 92FS, along with the slightly extended barrel. (Ep.13)
Mauser C96
Maiotome Ise uses a Mauser C96 in the Field Queen Contest.
Though not especially detailed and incorrectly having forward cocking serrations (possibly to cover trademarks), a USP is seen in Sonora's drawer in Episode 1.
In Yura's imagination in Episode 6, she and Sonora are wielding Colt M1873s, more commonly known as Single Action Armys, in a wild west shootout. Given that it's in Yura's imagination, the guns can be assumed to be authentic Colt M1873s and not one of the more modern clones.
During Honoka's briefing for the Rambo scenario in the first episode, the deputies are armed with S&W Model 10s. This is fitting, as this pistol did appear in First Blood.

A notable detail is the rear end of the barrels, where they open, is visible. (Ep.13)
Benelli M3
A Benelli M3 shotgun can be seen on a gun wall in the club room.
Yura's new main weapon after Episode 3 is a vz. 61 Škorpion. Sonora's mentor wields the very same Škorpion during a flashback scene in Episode 2. Yura buys a drum magazine for it in Episode 7, which she uses in the 24 hour tournament.
Hail Of Bullets' team leader, Rin Haruna, uses an M3A1 as her main weapon. By process of elimination of the features found on the three airsoft M3 replicas (ICS, ARES, and S&T) Rin's is the S&T model. The ICS is a replica of the original M3, the ARES is an M3A1 but bizarrely also has the crank charging handle, and the S&T is a proper M3A1, but with a slightly-longer-than-correct pistol grip to fit its battery. Rin's lacks the crank and has the slightly longer pistol grip, making it the S&T.

(Ep.3)Error creating thumbnail: File missingRin, along with Kazuha and Chisato, takes out one of the US Marines with her (mirrored) Grease Gun, note the cocking grooves on the bolt. Also visible are her two Desert Eagles, holstered on the back of her belt, as well as two spare magazine pouches for the M3A1 on her leg. (Ep.8)Error creating thumbnail: File missingRin surrenders Yachiyo with her M3A1; this seems to be her preferred way of eliminating people. (Ep.13)Error creating thumbnail: File missingRin aims her M3A1 in the Field Queen Contest. Sonora, who is a commentator along with Daishichi, notes that the sailor outfit is complemented by a Grease Gun. (Ep.13)
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
Members of the Hail Of Bullets airsoft team under Rin's command are all equipped with identical Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDWs, fitted with castle-style rear sights (more common to the standard MP5K), MP5 claw mount red dot scopes, Gemtech Raptor-II suppressors, and 15-round magazines. In one shot the optic is shown to have both night vision and zoom, though in reality it's a simple co-witness red dot sight. The weapon is standard issue, as new recruits get them and are required to return them when they leave the club.
A tournament competitor uses an MP7A1 in Episode 3, and a few competitors in the 24 hour tournament also have them as well.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingHeckler & Koch MP7A1 - 4.6x30mmError creating thumbnail: File missingA competitor aiming his MP7A1. Note how it is much larger in scale than the real version, so much so that the competitor can shoulder it despite the stock being collapsed all the way. (Ep.3)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis whole team is armed with MP7A1s fitted with EOTech 552 holosights. Note the reference, though an M4A1/M203 combo would have been a better choice for everyone's favourite boonie hat-wearing, cigar-smoking, British badass. (Ep.8)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe female competitor on the left has an MP7A1 with a suppressor attached. Her pistol is not detailed enough to be IDed. (Ep.8)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe cover of an "ARMS Manual Book" has a man with an MP7 on it. It's a reused character model from the Episode 3 image, and the other person is a reuse of his teammate with the M4A1 with tan handguards from the same episode. (Ep.11)
Walther MPL
A tournament competitor wields a Walther MPL with the stock removed in Episode 3.
A tournament competitor is shown firing his M1A1 Thompson in Episode 3, while couple of competitors in the 24 hour tournament are also seen with M1A1s. An info booklet included with the Japanese bluray releases includes a section covering the weapons of various teams, and lists Yoichi Mochizuki of Team KGB as using a Thompson, though by the time he first appears on-screen during the tournament he's carrying a flag for the team, with his Thompson nowhere to be seen.
Honoka Mutsu uses a Heckler & Koch G36KA2 as her main weapon. The A2 upgrades to the G36 are the replacement of the built-in red dot sight with a picatinny rail, a slightly different handguard made of aluminum that features attachment points for rails, and the shorter G36C stock. The Marui replica uses a standard stock instead of the C-length one, however most real G36A2s seem to still use the standard stock as well. Marui's G36KA2 also features SEF fire selector markings, which makes sense as a German Army rifle. Also worth noting is that another G36KA2 airsoft replica exists (made by VFC) which has identical features to the Marui, and it is officially licensed by Heckler & Koch, making this setup rather official.
Yachiyo Hinata uses a Howa Type 89-F as her main weapon in games where her AWS would be impractical. While TM's replica comes standard with a bipod, Yachiyo has removed it from her rifle.
Yura uses an M4A1 as her first main weapon; she was first found playing with it while daydreaming in her room in Episode 1 and used it as her primary in Episode 2 and 3. Various competitors in the tournament and the 24 hour tournament are also seen using M4A1s.
Suiting his personality, Daishichi Hamakaze of Team KGB uses a gold AKS-47 as his main weapon. These were limited production rifles made by airsoft manufacturer SRC.
Custom AKs very close to AKMSUs appear several times, always in the exact same configuration; it's not unreasonable to assume they were modeled from a custom airsoft AK owned by someone involved in making the show. While airsoft replicas of the original MOD Pattern Room "AKMSU" model do exist, these weapons differ from them by having a standard AK top cover/rear sight, not having the unique handguard, and lacking a stock (though they're still built from AKS lower receivers, due to the stock attachment point). Put another way, they're AKS-47s with AKS-74U gas systems and no stocks, making them more similar to custom AKMSU-like models. Seira Yaguchi uses one with polymer furniture in the Field Queen Contest, a competitor on the first team faced in Episode 3 uses one, and nearly the entire team that Rin's Hail Of Bullets faces repeatedly in Episode 10 are armed with them.
A Stella Regiment member has an M16 aimed at the Stella club. The rifle clearly lacks a forward assist, and there is only one original M16 airsoft replica, a gas-powered rifle made by G&P; all other older-style M16 replicas are of the M16A1. Just like on real ones, the birdcage flash hider is an aftermarket part. Given how common it is for original M16s (or visually similar rifles) to be fitted with birdcage flash hiders, especially for film and TV, and that there is no airsoft replica of the M82A3 seen in the very next shot, it's highly likely that the animators used images of real rifles as reference for both of these guns, rather than airsoft versions.
A Tokyo Marui AUG A3 High Cycle can be seen on the cover of the Field Queen Contest poster. The High Cycle is an AUG A3 XS submachine gun, but chambered 5.56x45mm and uses standard AUG magazines. The AUG A3 HC is the prize for the winner of the contest, along with free BBs for a year, while the other guns on the back of the poster are presumably prizes for second place and below. Being part of Tokyo Marui's "High Cycle" series, this rifle has a very impressive rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute!
An M14 with a dark OD stock can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1. A bunch of M14 with black stocks can also be seen coming out of a locker in Episode 12.
A H&K G3A4 can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1, and a competitor in the 24 hour tournament appears to use a G3A4. It is an A4, as TM's G3A3 has the green slimline handguard, while the G3/SG1 has a bipod.
An M60 is C³ Club's support weapon, owned by Sonora. It makes a notable appearance in Episode 1, and is used by Rento as her primary in the 24 hour tournament.
Yachiyo Hinata uses an Accuracy International AWS as her usual primary weapon. In addition to the rifle itself, the Parker-Hale bipod, raised rail mount, medium-height scope rings, and 3-9x40 scope are all Tokyo Marui products.
Hibiki Tsubaki and another competitor in the 24 hour tournament use Marui VSR-10s, which are essentially Remington M700 copies. It is identified by the far-forward placement of the magazine, and the little grooves on each side of the magazine well, which let fingers pull the mag out, as standard mags fit flush.
A member of the Stella Regiment is armed with a Barrett M82A3. Distinguishable from other Barrett M82 variants by its raised accessory rail on top in combination with the rail stopping short of the front with a folding front sight, and lack of a rear sight. There is no airsoft replica of the M82A3; the only M82 series replicas are of the original M82A1 and the M107.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBarrett M82A3 - .50 BMGError creating thumbnail: File missingA Stella Regiment member with a M82A3 aimed at the Stella club; the scope appears to be the same as the one on the real rifle in the photo above. She seems to have removed the bipod in favor of using a comrade as a bipod, which if it was real would be a BAD idea. (Ep.12)
Heckler & Koch PSG-1
A Heckler & Koch PSG-1 can be seen on a gun rack in the club room. Notable is that this was Yachiyo's sniper rifle in the Middle School manga set three years earlier. A PSG-1 can also be seen at a gun booth at the 24H Tournament. A PSG-1 fitted with its proprietary bipod can be seen on the Field Queen Contest poster as well.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingA long rifle's box can be seen behind the boonie hat and boots. It has a very distinctive gap between the barrel and stock near the front. (Ep.1)Error creating thumbnail: File missingA sniper rifle of some sort is seen in the middle, to the left of what appears to be an M9. What's especially odd here is what's clearly a Tokyo Marui booth has been changed to "Tokyo Kakui", despite the fact that TM actually sponsored the show. (Ep.7)
Others
RPG-7
In Episode 12, some members of the Stella Regiment are armed with RPG-7s when preparing to engage the C³ Club.
Some members of the Stella Regiment are armed with various rifles, sniper rifles, and/or shotguns. All are more detailed than simple stick guns, but none enough for a solid ID.
