Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto find two [[Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight|Smith & Wesson Model 37]]s on a pair of dead police officers, though one has its handle broken (the broken one is not seen on screen). Takashi comments on the gun having only five shots as most revolvers have six, and while inexperienced with firearms, knows to keep his finger off the trigger when not intending to shoot. Takashi later hands the revolver to Kohta Hirano due to the latter's expertise with firearms. Several police officers are seen firing their M37s at zombies trying to breach their roadblocks and a senior officer uses his to execute an anarchist inciting a unruly mob on live television. The author commented on how the [[Nambu Model 60]] was no longer the official sidearm for all Japanese police officers and therefore chose the Smith & Wesson to show the unique choice of weapon for each department. This is correct since the NPA imported Model 37s from America to outfit officers who are going to be armed with revolvers.

In Episode 8; "The Dead Way Home", a Secret Service agent uses [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG P226 |SIG P226Rs]] to gun down zombies trying to reach the wounded President and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs alongside a few remaining staff members on board Air Force One. Another staff member armed with a P226R uses it to shoot the wounded Chairman in the head upon the latter's request after he shows signs of zombification. Rika Minami uses a P226R fitted with a scope mount, small red dot sight, and flashlight as her sidearm, however because the battle at the offshore airport didn't happen on-screen in the anime, it's only seen in the opening sequence and in her leg holster.

Saya Takagi's mother, Yuriko Takagi, hands her daughter a Navy model [[Luger P08]] complete with a 32 round "snail" drum magazine and a stock. It is referred to as "Luger P08's Holland colonial military model". It is most likely a artillery model of P08, since it has a long barrel and a drum magazine. But it could be based off of the Luger P04 Navy model, because the sights are raised and appear to be adjustable but are on the rear of the frame, this is a feature found only on the P04. The P08 artillery (the only other luger with an elongated barre)l has it's adjustable rear sight on the barrel.

An [[Ithaca 37]] is found in Rika's household, in a firearms locker which Takashi and Kohta break into. Kohta initially uses it before handing it to Takashi, who uses it as his main weapon for the rest of the show. Kohta instructs Takashi on how to slamfire the M37 (holding the trigger down and pumping the shotgun, causing it to fire as soon as it's back in battery) when the group is cornered at the wire blockade, and Saya uses the dropped M37 later in the same scene. Takashi later uses it a melee weapon after running away from the wire blockade. The M37 is fitted with a rail and Aimpoint CompM2, which is later disabled by the EMP due to it being powered by a 3-Volt Lithium Battery. A couple Nationalists at the Takagi estate are seen using standard M37s.

A [[M14 Rifle#Super Match M1A|Springfield Super Match M1A]] is found in Rika's household, and is used by Rei as her main weapon. It has an OD stock and is fitted with a standard M14 flash hider (which has a bayonet mount), M14 DMR cheek riser, KAC rail system, custom-fitted lower rail, KAC QD sling mount, Surefire M900V foregrip/light combo, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight with a killflash, its magazines are fitted with Magpuls, and the rifle is later fitted with an M6 bayonet to complement Rei's fighting style. As with the CompM2 on the M37, this one is also later disabled by the EMP. In episode 7, Takashi handles the rifle to shoot at zombies about to eat Rei. Kohta, like in the Manga, incorrectly calls it an M1A1 with the extra number 1.

It is fitted with a Knight's Armament rail system and rail covers, Leupold M3A scope with a sunshade, and a bipod; Kohta uses it as his primary weapon. The author comments Rika seduced an American soldier to import the illegal rifle into Japan via the American military air service, avoiding customs. An error in the English dubbing caused Kohta to misidentify it as an "AR-110" instead of an AR-10.

Latest revision as of 21:53, 28 May 2022

The world is overtaken with a very deadly disease that turns humans into zombies. In Japan, several students of Fujimi High School, and the school nurse, band together to survive the present apocalypse. The story follows Takashi Komuro, one of the students who survived the initial outbreak.

High School of the Dead (2010)

The following weapons were used in the anime series High School of the Dead:



Revolvers

Smith & Wesson Model 37

Takashi Komuro and Rei Miyamoto find two Smith & Wesson Model 37s on a pair of dead police officers, though one has its handle broken (the broken one is not seen on screen). Takashi comments on the gun having only five shots as most revolvers have six, and while inexperienced with firearms, knows to keep his finger off the trigger when not intending to shoot. Takashi later hands the revolver to Kohta Hirano due to the latter's expertise with firearms. Several police officers are seen firing their M37s at zombies trying to breach their roadblocks and a senior officer uses his to execute an anarchist inciting a unruly mob on live television. The author commented on how the Nambu Model 60 was no longer the official sidearm for all Japanese police officers and therefore chose the Smith & Wesson to show the unique choice of weapon for each department. This is correct since the NPA imported Model 37s from America to outfit officers who are going to be armed with revolvers.

Smith and Wesson Model 37 Airweight, right side - .38 Special
Tanaka S&W M37 Airsoft revolver
Takashi armed with the M37 in the opening credits. Note the incredible detail despite this shot being a fraction of a second long.
On a news broadcast officers fire their M37s at zombies that are already in body bags.
The M37 taken with a pair of handcuffs and a baton from a dead officer's duty belt.
Takashi holding the M37; note the rubber grips, which all of the M37's in the show are seen with.
Takashi opens the cylinder to examine the number of shots he has at his disposal.
Takashi presses the M37's barrel against a crazy survivor and cocks the hammer. Note the "Smith & Wesson" on the barrel.
Kohta using the M37 to gun down a zombie.
A panicked officer on the bridge opens fire without being ordered to. The cylinder spins and the hammer moves as well. S&W trades on the barrel again.
A line of officers fire their M37s, again the cylinders and hammers are animated.
The senior police officer executes the mob leader, as per the order given to "do whatever is necessary" to hold the bridge against zombies and panicked/unruly refugees.
Rei hands Takashi the M37 as he goes on a rescue mission to save another survivor. The S&W logo is visible, as is the "Airweight" inscription.
Takashi takes out a zombie that was sneaking up behind him with his M37.

Pistols

Luger P08

Saya Takagi's mother, Yuriko Takagi, hands her daughter a Navy model Luger P08, complete with a 32 round "snail" drum magazine and a stock (both more commonly used on the long barrel Artillery model). Kohta notes that it's one made for the Dutch military, and in the manga the marking associated with that is visible on the ejection port section.

Yuriko hands her daughter the Luger P08...
And then the 'snail' drum magazine and the attachable stock.
Saya shoulders the P08...
Aims it at the zombie on the ground...
And executes it with a single shot, splattering herself and the gun with blood.

SIG-Sauer P226R

In Episode 8; "The Dead Way Home", a Secret Service agent uses SIG P226Rs to gun down zombies trying to reach the wounded President and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs alongside a few remaining staff members on board Air Force One. Another staff member armed with a P226R uses it to shoot the wounded Chairman in the head upon the latter's request after he shows signs of zombification. Rika Minami uses a P226R fitted with a scope mount, small red dot sight, and flashlight as her sidearm, however because the battle at the offshore airport didn't happen on-screen in the anime, it's only seen in the opening sequence and in her leg holster.

Browning M1910

Yuriko's Browning M1910 is seen in the opening sequence, and it is seen in the show proper in her leg holster.

Yuriko's M1910 strapped to her leg; she's never seen using it. Her holstered Vz. 83 is also visible, and she's holding the P08 she's about to give to Saya.

M1911A1

Two Right Wing members (or Nationalists) are seen firing a M1911A1s at the approaching zombie horde during the final battle at the Takagi estate with the zombies. Saya's mother, Yuriko, used one during a training course years ago when she worked on Wall Street, before she met Saya's father, Souichiro.

Shotguns

Ithaca M37

An Ithaca 37 is found in Rika's household, in a firearms locker which Takashi and Kohta break into. Kohta initially uses it before handing it to Takashi, who uses it as his main weapon for the rest of the show. Kohta instructs Takashi on how to slamfire the M37 (holding the trigger down and pumping the shotgun, causing it to fire as soon as it's back in battery) when the group is cornered at the wire blockade, and Saya uses the dropped M37 later in the same scene. Takashi later uses it a melee weapon after running away from the wire blockade. The M37 is fitted with a rail and Aimpoint CompM2, which is later disabled by the EMP due to it being powered by a 3-Volt Lithium Battery. A couple Nationalists at the Takagi estate are seen using standard M37s.

Remington 870

Yakuza members and several civilians are seen running amok with Remington 870s. Another Yakuza gang member is seen using a Remington 870 Field Shotgun with the barrel (presumably) cut down for easier handling. A flashback reveals that Kohta trained with a black 870 while on vacation in the U.S. undergoing a firearm training course.

A citizen is seen firing an over and under shotgun, but fumbles in loading the shells and is promptly surrounded and devoured by zombies.

Browning O/U - 12 gauge.
Ejecting the first pair of shells.
Firing the second pair. Cocky bastard are we?
At least until that bottom shell gets dropped... oops.

Remington 1100

What looks like a Remington 1100 is used by a Nationalist member outside the Takagi estate. It differs in a few details, mainly that enormous front sight ring.

Remington 1100 - 12 gauge
A Nationalist member in charge of roadblocking against zombies is seen using his Remington 1100 against the approaching horde. His partner is the one running back with an M1911, seen above.
A side view of the shotgun as he yells at his partner for running.

Submachine Guns

Vz. 83 Skorpion

Yuriko is seen fighting zombies with a Sa. Vz. 83 Skorpion as her primary weapon. She only uses it set to semi-auto, a wise decision considering the number of zombies, and that a headshot is required to kill them.

Vz. 83 Skorpion w/ 30-round magazine - .380 ACP
Yuriko hipfires her Vz. 83 Skorpion in semi-automatic while running, and still scores a headshot every time.
Yuriko using her Skorpion against the zombie horde, while her husband Souichiro prefers using his sword.
You know this picture is totally badass.

Heckler & Koch MP5

Riot Police (機動隊 Kidotai) officers are seen firing Heckler & Koch MP5s fitted with Aimpoint sights at zombies. They are presumibly MP5Fs, standard issue in reality.

When they shift their aim, the side of the MP5s become visible, showing more of their features.

Battle Rifles

Springfield Super Match M1A

A Springfield Super Match M1A is found in Rika's household, and is used by Rei as her main weapon. It has an OD stock and is fitted with a standard M14 flash hider (which has a bayonet mount), M14 DMR cheek riser, KAC rail system, custom-fitted lower rail, KAC QD sling mount, Surefire M900V foregrip/light combo, Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight with a killflash, its magazines are fitted with Magpuls, and the rifle is later fitted with an M6 bayonet to complement Rei's fighting style. As with the CompM2 on the M37, this one is also later disabled by the EMP. In episode 7, Takashi handles the rifle to shoot at zombies about to eat Rei. Kohta, like in the manga, incorrectly calls it an M1A1 with the extra number 1.

Springfield Armory M1A - 7.62x51mm NATO
Rei holding the M1A in the opening sequence with Takashi next to her. Note that she keeps the rifle on a one-point sling which is wrapped around the rifle between the stock and pistol grip area, despite the rifle having a QD sling mount attached to the left rail.

Kohta cocking the M1A. Note the cocking handle is extremely oversized in this particular shot.

SPARKLES!
With the rifle still attached to Rei, Takashi is stuck shooting like this.
Takashi disengages the safety, as instructed by Kohta.
While Takashi most definitely likes his new bipod, Rei must be really regretting not using that QD sling mount right about now.
Takashi fires the rifle.

Rei points the M1A's M6 bayonet at her corrupt teacher as she contemplates killing him for making her fail a grade because Rei's father (who is a police officer) was investigating a scandal involving her teacher's father (who was a corrupt politician).
A view through the rifle's CompM2 as Rei checks it after the EMP. Saya is not thrilled it was pointed at her.
Rei uses the M1A in the final battle against the zombie horde at the Takagi estate. Rei apparently didn't learn from the last time she didn't use the proper sling mount, and the rifle being tied to her gets her into another sticky situation moments later.

Armalite AR-10(T)

An Armalite AR-10(T) modified to resemble a Knight's Armament SR-25 is found in Rika's household, and due to the aftermarket parts Kohta initially mistakes for the latter rifle. It is fitted with a Knight's Armament rail system and rail covers, Leupold M3A scope with a sunshade, and a bipod; Kohta uses it as his primary weapon. The author comments Rika seduced an American soldier to import the illegal rifle into Japan via the American military air service, avoiding customs. An error in the English dubbing causes Kohta to misidentify it as an "AR-110" instead of an AR-10.

Assault Rifles

Howa Type 89

JGSDF soldiers are seen wielding Howa Type 89s as their service rifle, as well as one being used by Kohta in his imaginary FPS. Rika's personal rifle is a highly customized Type 89 with an entire M4A1 front end, including the barrel, front sight and picatinny rail system, as well as an M4A1 LE stock, and is fitted with an Aimpoint CompM2 and Surefire M900 foregrip/light. However, due to the airport battle, where she used this as her primary, not appearing on-screen in the anime, it's only seen in the opening credits.

Also in the opening credits, the stock of one can be seen at the bottom right, while the bottom part of another can be seen up top.

Colt M16A1

Many Nationalists are seen firing M16A1s at the approaching zombie horde during the final battle at the Takagi Estate.

The Nationalist beside Souichiro aims his M16A1. The one to his right appears to have another Ithaca M37.

Sniper Rifles

Heckler & Koch PSG-1

Rika uses a Heckler & Koch PSG-1 fitted with a Harris bipod in her role as a Special Assault Team sniper, clearing an airport of zombies wandering around its runways. Very notable is that she correctly fires the full load of six rounds in this scene; proper magazine capacities are usually the first thing ignored in fiction, however attention to detail in this regard is seen throughout the show.
