Gunsmith Cats

Gunsmith Cats (1995 - 1996)

The following weapons were used in the OVA Gunsmith Cats:

Pistols

CZ 75

Rally Vincent carries an early model CZ 75 as her primary weapon of choice. She praises this weapon throughout the manga, considering it to be one of the best handguns ever made, due to the very high grade of steel used to make the first versions of the CZ 75.

Colt 1908

Rally keeps a Colt 1908 as a backup weapon. The gun is attached to a special harness that allows the gun to be drawn by flicking her wrist, and has the triggerguard removed. This is an obvious shout-out to Taxi Driver (Kenichi Sonoda, the author of Gunsmith Cats, often cites American action films as a source of inspiration).

Colt Model 1908 Vest Pocket - .25 ACP

Rally shows off her hidden backup piece. In this shot, you can see the square the Colt rollmark normally resides in, differentiating the gun from the Czech 'DUO' Rally normally carries in the manga.

"Hidden Weapons? Does this count?"

Rally's back up piece alongside her CZ-75 and some of May's grenades.

Walther PPK

ATF agent Bill Collins uses a Walther PPK as his weapon. At one point, Rally makes a joke at Bill calling him "Agent Double Oh 7-11".

Rally uses this gun briefly in the first episode, when gun runners tell her to shoot Bill as a sign of trust. She instead shoots the ropes used to tie him up, hitting one of the gun runners in the leg in the process.

Walther PPK - .380 ACP

Bill arrests one of the burglars outside Rally's house.

One of the gun runners hands Rally Bill's PPK and tells her to kill him with it.

Rally holds the PPK and realizes immediately it's unloaded.

Bill holds his PPK once again after Rally rescues him from the gun runners.

Bill and another ATF agent cautiously enter a safe house.

Beretta 92FS

Near the beginning of the first episode, an off-duty cop brings his Beretta 92FS in to Rally's shop to get some custom work done. When checking the gun, Rally notices the weapon still has a round chambered and informs him to be more careful next time.

Another Beretta 92FS appears in the second Episode, when Russian assassin Natasha Radinov attacks an ATF safehouse. She either brought this weapon along or picked it up off a dead ATF agent.

The chamber indicator is a protrusion the pops out and also reveals a red mark to tell you there's a round inside.

Rally informs the cop he left a live round in the chamber before ejecting it.

Radinov guns down two ATF agents with a Beretta 92FS. With all those security monitors, you'd think they would've saw her coming.

Colt M1911A1

In the third episode, Rally is seen cleaning a disassembled nickel M1911A1.

Welrod Mark IIA

In the third episode, Radinov uses a rare British bolt action Mark IIA Welrod pistol to kill ATF chief George Black. The weapon exhibits some rather bizarre changes between shots.

Welrod pistol Mark II - .32 ACP

Radinov points the Welrod at George Black. Here the Welrod Mark IIA appears to have been drawn too short.

Radinov chambers another round. Note that she does not pull the bolt straight back and she turns the action. Again, it's been drawn too short. The only version of the Welrod that can be this short is the Mark I with its detachable suppressor removed, but this is obviously not a Mark I for many reasons.

Radinov then finishes off George Black with a shot to the head. Here, it is now the correct length.

Heckler & Koch VP70

In the third episode, Radinov attacks Rally and May at Senator Haints' campaign rally with a Heckler & Koch VP70M. The VP70M has its stock attached, loaded with an extended magazine.

SIG P226

Near the end of the third episode, Senator Haints grabs what appears to be a SIG P226 to shoot Natasha Radinov. The weapon turns out to be empty and part of a set up by Becky and Cathy to get Senator Haints to admit his crimes.

Misc

Bonnie's Leg and Grey's Arm

These are references to the original Gunsmith Cats manga. A character named Bonnie had a prosthetic leg which housed a PM9, a French submachine gun which was notable for its ability to fold its magazine to lie along the barrel, making it very compact; her shoe also housed a bounding antipersonnel mine. Grey, another character, lost his hand thanks to Rally and replaced it with the blade weapon seen here, which is high-grade carbon steel and mounted on a launching mechanism powered by a car suspension spring.

Rather than being a PM9 or pump-action shotgun as in the manga (Bonnie used one then the other), Bonnie's leg weapon is shown as a generic AR-style rifle with the grip and part of the trigger guard removed.
