Girls' Frontline (2022)

Girls' Frontline is a 2022 sci-fi anime, produced by Warner Bros. Japan and animated by Asahi Production; it is based on the mobile game of the same name created by MICA Team.

The story takes place in the 2060s, following a series of wars and ecological disasters that have left much of the world in shambles; with the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and robotics technology (coupled with a noticeable lack of human manpower), androids called "Dolls" have been pressed into service in many areas, combat in particular - in this role, they are referred to as "Tactical Dolls", or "T-Dolls" for short. Taking place in eastern Europe, the plot centers around Griffin & Kryuger, a Doll-using PMC tasked with combatting the forces of Sangvis Ferri (another PMC whose AI went rogue). Uniquely, each of G&K's T-Dolls uses, is named after, and to some extent personifies a particular real-world firearm; accordingly, the 4 main characters are members of the AR Team.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Girls' Frontline:

Handguns

Colt M1911

What appears to be a Colt M1911 variant of some sort is seen briefly in the official trailer; while only the pistol itself is seen, it is presumably wielded by the T-Doll M1911.

A shot of the M1911 variant from the trailer; note the angular front sight, possibly implying a more modern variant. The distortion effects are authentic; the trailer uses these effects during shot transitions, and this shot of the M1911 only appears briefly, so this is as good as it gets for now.

Nagant M1895

While the revolver itself isn't seen clearly, the T-Doll M1895 appears briefly in the trailer, implying that her Nagant M1895 revolver will likewise appear in the series.

A group of Russian Dolls confront Scarecrow; Nagant M1895 is at the right. Note that there are 3 of each unit present; this is presumably referencing the original game's "Dummy Link" system, where one Doll can control multiple identical bodies.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3

The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 makes no appearance whatsoever in the official trailer; however, the T-Doll MP5 makes a fleeting appearance (identified by her shoes), implying that her MP5 will likewise appear in the series.

MP5 opening fire at an approaching group of Dinergates; while the gun itself isn't visible, the rapid shower of pistol-caliber casings and unique shoe design confirm that the weapon in question (or, at least, the Doll in question) is an MP5.

For reference, this is MP5's artwork from the original game. It's not often that we ID a gun by a character's shoe here, but then again, it's not often that the gun IS the character, either.

PPSh-41

The T-Doll PPSh-41 is armed with the PPSh-41.

You can see the PPSh-41 when PPSh takes cover after being warned of Agent's presence.

PPS-43

The T-Doll PPS-43 makes a brief appearance in the trailer, along with her PPS-43.

Assault Rifles

Colt M16A1

The senior member of the AR Team, M16A1, appears along with her Colt M16A1.

An officially-released promo image of M16A1; here, her rifle appears to have been somewhat uncharacteristically fitted with a modern enlarged trigger guard.

Another promo image, showing the whole AR Team together. This was released before the one above, and seems to represent a slightly earlier iteration of the show's planned art style; notable changes since this image was released include the characters all being scaled somewhat smaller relative to their respective rifles, as well as various minor costume changes - these designs appear to more closely follow the original game's, while the later images take some liberties.

FN FNC Paratrooper

The muzzle of an FN FNC Paratrooper is seen briefly in the trailer; while its wielder isn't shown, it is presumably carried by the T-Doll FNC.

One-can-only-assume-FNC opens fire with her FNC Paratrooper; unfortunately, it appears that the muzzle flash doesn't respect the shape of the flash hider.

Heckler & Koch G36

Alongside the FNC above, the business end of a Heckler & Koch G36 appears in the trailer, presumably wielded by the T-Doll G36.

This is the same shot as before, but now your attention's being drawn to the G36 at the top instead.

M4A1 Carbine

The leader of the AR Team, M4A1, is seen with her M4A1 Carbine as her weapon.

The AR Team's designated wild card/loose cannon M4 SOPMOD II appears in the anime with her M4A1 SOPMOD Block II carbine.

A POV shot of SOPMOD's rifle as she prepares to give Agent an unsolicited lobotomy. Several details are visible here, including her rifle's detailed-but-apparently-opaque EOTech sight, folded backup irons, and extended charging handle latch.

Spike's Tactical 10th Anniversary AR-15

The final member of the AR Team, ST AR-15, is armed with her customized, auto-converted Spike's Tactical 10th Anniversary AR-15. She uses it with our with no suppressor, depending on the field conditions.

Spike's Tactical 10th Anniversary AR-15 - 5.56x45mm NATO

An officially-released promo image of ST AR-15. Like M4A1, she is left-handed in both the show and the original game; unlike the original game, however, she no longer has "SPR" written on her one sock, and her knife is more sensibly stored in a sheath instead of being inexplicably attached to her underwear.

Rifles

Gewehr 43

The T-Doll G43 uses the Gewehr 43. At one point in "THE SEED", a Schiessbecher is attached onto the barrel in order to fire a rifle grenade.
