The guns of Scrapped Princess

[Kaligraphic]

So, how many people here noticed the overwhelming use of names of firearms in Scrapped Princess?

You've got Raquel, Shannon, and Pacifica Casull (casullarms.com) leaving the city of Manurhin on a cart pulled by horses named Makarov and Dragunov. Of course, Leo has a well-armed horse too, named Parabellum.

And then there's the former knight Doyle Barrett.

Meanwhile, they run into a kid named Christopher Armalite, and a Winia Chester (Winchester)

Then you've got the whole religious issue of Lord Mauser v. the Devil Lord Browning.

And of course you've got the Peacemakers,
Galil,
Cz,
Steyr,
and Socom.

(note: all links are to world.guns.ru unless specified otherwise. It's more convenient that way. And when a name applies to more than one weapon, I've only linked to one anyway. I'm lazy like that.)

Hmm, maybe I should mention that Giat is an arms manufacturer as well.

So, have I missed any? (Perhaps I should pull out the series again to make sure I remember them all.)

What can ya say the Bones guys love their firearms. In every series they've put out with guns they've always paid special attention to the guns used, the sounds, and the appropiatness of them in situations.

gotta love H&K man

I'm not a guns person so I had no idea. o_o; Hmm...

[Shinja]

all i have to say is giving the bad guy the name browning isnt cool, browing's are way better than any mauser

[true_noir_chloe]

Interesting, I hadn't noticed that.

I'm more of a Sig Saur fan myself. ^^ They make the grips nice and small for women's hands.

Now i'm getting scared. The average person in Australia wouldn't know that!

She is from Texas.

Well give me a good old Glock 19, Colt M1911, or a Baby Desert Eagle, any day of the week. Reliability, accuracy, and comfort makes a good handgun.

Frankly, I don't think the average American would know this either. I don't know any Texas mom's who would know this fact from PTA. I had to study guns and shoot them in a past life. ]please[/i], let's not get into a discussion about the viability of gun ownership and take this further off topic. -__-)\

Anyway, nice to meet you fellow anime parent. I'm sure now you think all of us Americans are just a bunch of rootin' tootin' cowboys... and girls. *laughs*

Back on topic, I thought this name, Winia Chester (Winchester), was the most creative. ^__^

[Gypsy]

I never would have picked that up ... I hardly know a pistol from a rifle. ^^; That's cool that someone noticed, though. ^^

[Anime Dad]

AND everyone, please, let's not get into a discussion about the viability of gun ownership and take this further off topic. -__-)\

Absolutely not! Sorry

You too, it seems we're about the same age too but no, I don't think all Americans are cowboys... just a large portion of 'em ]

Very creative indeed even though I know very little about guns, and have never even seen a handgun up close, I did pick up on a few of those names

I'm gonna start a 'Guns and Gun Handling in Anime' thread.
(That way I hope it will stay on topic.)

I am a bit of a 2nd Amendment fan myself. and I noticed the gun names in Scrapped Princess immediately. I learned a lot about the names because a couple of my older (and $$$) friends collect historically significant pieces (which are as unlikely to be fired except as a rare test or a special occasion - consider of whether you would 'test' an original Muromasa blade or a Bizen sword if you wre its owner.)

So relax.

LOL!!! I couldn't help it, but this did make me laugh out loud. ^^

ive always likes the franchi spas-12... it being in both half-life and half-life 2, as well as one of the n64 bond games XD i just love the look of it

I don't play very many computer games, but one game I -do- like is "Fighting Steel," which is fleet-to-fleet WW2 fantasy combat. (I am a bit of a WW2 naval architectur buff ...) but I would love to try out Rally Vincent's M249SAW from Gunsmith Cats. The ol' Browning M2 .50cal is a little tricky to set up, but a kick in the pants to fire.

I have twice seen an MG42 (Gin Roh) - one in a collector's collection, and another who actually took his out to TEST. This is an 8mm Mauser x 1200 rounds/min LEAD HOSE. A few years back I saw one US-legal, NFA transferrable MG42 go for about $40K, and one M249SAW for about $18K.

I would possibly like to make a D/D using an "ATF Form-1" one day. I hope I can do so while it is still legal - and please, while we're on this, OBEY THE LAW, ( Rule #1!) and Be Careful (Rule #2.)

i plan on buying a .357 revolver before college. im thinking of a taurus. to bad they didnt include colt or taurus.

and i wouldnt mind owning my freind saigonov shotgun (sp?) the thing is semiautomatic and magazine fed.

[termyt]

Nice bit of research there, Kaligraphic.

I think it's amusing that many around the world think of us as both yankees and cowboys when here in the states no one is likely to claim to be both.

[Kaligraphic]

desperado - you mean a Russian Saiga 12?

[desperado]

thats the gun except it has a normal grip instead of the rifle grip on it (my freind plans on getting that)

[GhostPoet]

I can't wait to watch this show...havn't seen it yet but it's on my netflix queue!! =)

The trailer I saw looked freakin awesome. I'm just finishing up Rahxephon soon..that'll be my next for sure!
