Strike Witches

Strike Witches is a mixed-media project originally created by Humikane Shimada via a series of magazine illustration columns. It was later adapted into two light novel series, two manga series, an anime OVA, and a televised anime series. The story revolves around teenage girls who are essentially moe anthropomorphizations of military planes. The OVA preview episode was released on January 1, 2007. The televised anime series later premiered on July 3, 2008, concluding September 18. Official confirmation of a second season of the anime was announced on February 27, 2009.

STEN

Used by British troops who replace the Strike Witches with the Warlock unit.

PPK/S

Issued to Miyafuji when she first arrives in Britannia. She refuses it, however, stating a dislike for firearms. Minna-Dietlinde Wilcke carries one on her person, and is notably seen using it to threaten Sakamoto. It can be assumed that most, if not all, of the witches were issued a PPK upon their arrival at the base.

MG42

Carried by most members of the 501st JFW. Due to her strength ability, Gertrud Barkhorn prefers using two MG-42s at once, often with devastating effect. All Strike Witches MG-42s are equipped with double-drum magazines.

BREN

Carried by Perrine Clostermann. She states that she would prefer to use a Chatellerault MLE 1924-II, but is unable to obtain one. Instead, she uses the BREN, which is similar to the Chatellerault in many aspects but is presumably easier to obtain in Britannia.

Boys Anti-Tank Rifle

Carried by Lynette Bishop in her role as the squad's designated marksman. While she uses a Boys Mk. I, she has switched the muzzle brake to that of a Mk. II, which according to her makes it easier to use.

BAR

M1919A6

Type 99
