Future Diary, or better known by the original Japanese title Mirai Nikki, is a 2011 anime series based on the manga of the same name written by Sakae Esuno. Yukiteru Amano lives in his world and largely dispenses with contacts with his classmates. His only hobby is keeping a diary of all everyday events on his cell phone. His only friend, a god named Deus Ex Machina, only exists in Yuki's imagination. Yuki's life goes crazy when he realizes that his cell phone diary is predicting the future. The enthusiasm quickly fades when his classmate Yuno explains that she too is the owner of a future diary. Yuki's imaginary friend Deus Ex Machina is more real than expected and is planning a cruel game: twelve participants with diaries that predict the future. Twelve people who kill each other. Because in the end, only one can win.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Future Diary:

Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 37

The standard revolver for the Japanese police is Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight, which resembles the Tanaka airsoft model. It is used by Chief inspector Keigo Kurusu in Ep. 02 "Contract Terms", Ep. 09 "Blocking Calls", and Ep. 11 "Service Terminated". Young police officer Masumi Nishijima uses one of these revolvers in Ep. 10 "Family Plan" against Number 3. Many other police officers in the eleventh episode make use of their revolvers in the Sakurami police station. In the same episode, Yuno and Yukiteru get in control of some Model 37s. They both also use these revolvers in Ep. 12 "No Service Area". The revolvers are also used in Ep. 19 "Clear Data" by Masumi Nishijima and Yukiteru. Officer Nishijima is last seen with his revolver in Ep. 20 "Transfer Data". The last use of the revolver by Yukiter is in Ep. 22 "Disconnect".

Pistols

Walther PPK

International terrorist Minene Uryuu's personal firearm is the Walther PPK pistol, that she carries throughout the series in Ep. 10 "Family Plan", Ep 11 "Service Terminated", Ep. 12 "No Service Area" Ep. 16 "Repair", Ep. 20 "Transfer Data" and Ep. 21 "Security Code". In some of these episodes, it can be seen in her chest holster.

Before inserting a magazine, which is seen below the gun, the PPK is seen in a close-up. The reloading itself is done off-screen, a few seconds later (Ep. 16).

Minene, this time as a referee, holds up her pistol which offers a good view of the Walther shape and a look at the sunrise, of course (Ep. 16).

Heckler & Koch USP

After performing a quick ammo check, she presses in the magazine. A few moments later, outside the hospital, it turns into the Walther PPK.

A Beretta 92FS pistol is used by an assassin in Ep. 18 "Crossed Lines". In the next episode, "Clear Data", Yuno Gasai, as well as John Bacchus and his bodyguards, use Beretta 92FS pistols during an ambush.

Rifles

Colt M16A1

One U.S. soldier is seen using an M16A1 rifle fitted with Aimpoint sights in Minene Uryuu's childhood flashback in an unnamed Middle East country (Ep. 03 "Initial Failure").

M16A1 with 30 round magazine - 5.56x45mm

A U.S. soldier opens fire with his M16A1. Note that the handguards appear triangular, but have ribbing reminiscent of the M16A2's cylindrical handguards.

AKM

During the same flashback, Arabic militiamen are armed with AKM assault rifles.

AKM, Stamped Steel Receiver w/ slant muzzle brake - 7.62x39mm

The man in the squat fires his AKM at U.S. troops.

Bolt Action rifle

Five guns can be seen in Ep. 26 "Format", hanging on an apartment's wall. A scoped rifle with left-handed bolt handle is seen among it. Considering the fact that bolt action rifles need two handed operators, even a left-handed bolt handle is useless for one-armed Minene.

Pre-1964 Winchester Model 70 - .30-06 (for comparison).

Grenades & Explosives

M84 stun grenade

Several M84 stun grenades can be seen in the Minene Uryuu's arsenal. The first M84 is used by her and Police inspector Masumi Nishijima in Ep. 10 "Family Plan" to set up a trap for Number 3. In Ep. 12 "No Service Area", she hands over one to Yukiteru when he was supposed to patrol the hospital corridors. This flashbang is also seen in the hands of an SAT officer and Yuno. Minene uses two more M84 grenades in Ep. 20 "Transfer Data".

M84 stun grenade

Minene about to demonstrate Number 3 the effects of a Stun grenade in a sealed room (Ep. 10).

"Pull the safety pin, release the lever and 5 seconds later the grenade will explode. Dead easy."
The stun grenade in Yukiteru's hand after thrown over by Minene (Ep. 12).

After taking Yukiteru's grenade, the well-educated SAT officer, oddly enough, calls it a "Frag Grenade". From his training he should have known what kind of grenade that is, but well, that's for the dramatic (Ep. 12).

The dropped grenade on the floor (Ep. 12).

A close view of the grenade's ring held by Yuno (Ep. 12).

"Not a step further or I'll blow everything up!" (Ep. 12).

"I will always be close to you."
Yuno pulled the safety pin...

"You will die here with me!"
... and releases the lever as Minene said to them (Ep. 12).

An M84 thrown by Minene detonates in mid-air (Ep. 20).

M83 Smoke Grenade

M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine

Running Minene spotted too late the claymore.

The last seconds of Minene as a two-handed terrorist. It's rather interesting, that her pistol wasn't destroyed by the explosion but mysteriously turns to her left hand, which allow her to continue using it.

Improvised Bombs

Minene uses several improvised bombs at several scenes.

Minene holds a bomb in Ep. 20 "Transfer Data".

This bomb a second later.
