Gungrave (TV Series) (2003-2004)

Gungrave is a Japanese animated television series that ran for 26 episodes from 2003-2004, based on the videogame of the same name. Like the videogame, it features character designs by Trigun creator Yasuhiro Nightow. The story concerns two friends, Brandon Heat and Harry MacDowell, as they rise through the ranks of "Millenion" (a mafia organization) to become an established hitman and a cut-throat business tycoon.

The following guns were used in the animated television series Gungrave:

Brandon Arsenal

Cerberus

The pair of massive handguns the resurrected Brandon uses as "Beyond the Grave". Described as 15mm caliber handguns with 60cm barrels. The magazine is a rectangle shaped structure under the barrel and can be detached for loading.

Magazine is loaded by sliding under the barrel.

Coffin

Grave carries a huge, though technically small, as it isn't the size to hold a body, metal coffin on his back which contains a variety of weapons; in the videogame, these include a large missile launcher, a quadruple set of launch points for anti-tank missiles and a gatling gun; Grave uses these weapons for his special "Demolition Shots." The coffin is also the holster for his two handguns, one side unfolding to allow them to be drawn. The manner in which Grave carries and uses the coffin bears a strong resemblance to the cross carried by the Wolfwood from Trigun. It is also directly inspired by the 1966 movie Django in which the main character carries a coffin with a Gatling gun inside.

Pistol

SIG-Sauer P226

Brandon's daily carry handguns are SIG-Sauer P226, after he becomes a full fledged gunman. It was the first handgun he used to defend Big Daddy.

.475 Wildey Magnum

Brandon Heat acquires the .475 Wildey Magnum, powerful handgun when faced the prototype Orcmen. In the story it uses ammo called D-type and from the recoil, it is powerful enough to send the shooter flying back and hurt his arm. Though the real Wildey Magnum is plenty powerful, it wouldn't send someone flying back like a handcannon.

M1911

Brandon is given an M1911 when he starts working for Millennium as a loan shark. Maria's uncle keeps one in a box in his closet and uses it to intimidate Deed.
