The following weapons were used in the anime series JoJo's Bizarre Adventure:

WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!

Part 1: Phantom Blood

Webley RIC

British police officers in the intro sequence and in Episode 3 ("Youth With Dio") use late-model Webley RIC revolvers. Jonathan Joestar and Robert Speedwagon also commandeer these revolvers.

British police officers fire their revolvers in the OP sequence, "JoJo ~A Fate Determined By His Blood~".

A slightly later frame, showing the flying bullets.

These bullets are rendered somewhat oddly, being shown with a full brass jacket and a dimple on the exposed lead at the base. They may have been partially drawn based on unfired cartridges.

The police officers open fire on Dio. Note the onomatopoeia, a staple of the series.

The hijacker points his revolver at Joseph.

Another view of the revolver.

M1A1 Thompson

The other two hijackers use M1A1 Thompson submachine guns without handguards. Seeing as this scene takes place in 1933, the M1A1 is anachronistic.

The hijacker points his Thompson at Joseph.

A full view of the submachine gun's profile.

The hijacker hits Joseph in the face with his Thompson.

8.8cm FlaK 36

During Episode 11's explanation of World War II, German soldiers are seen firing an 8.8cm FlaK 36 anti-aircraft cannon.

8.8cm FlaK 36 - 88x571mmR

German soldiers firing the FlaK.

Karabiner 98k

In Episode 12 ("The Pillar Man"), two of the German guards outside the secret facility in Mexico use rifles; while they are not particularly detailed, their general features (and the context) make the most likely choice the Karabiner 98k. Later on in the same episode, another guard inside the facility uses a similar rifle.

Karabiner 98k - 7.92x57mm

The muzzle of the guard's rifle is seen over his shoulder.

MP40

The majority of the German guards inside the secret facility use MP40 submachine guns. Santana also takes one and disassembles it in Episode 13, "JoJo vs. The Ultimate Lifeforms". As this scene takes place in 1938, they are anachronistic.

Fictional Machine Gun

Rudol von Stroheim has a collapsible machine gun of apparently fictional design in his torso in Episode 19 ("A Race Toward the Brink"). According to Stroheim, it fires at 600 rounds per minute, and is capable of piercing 30 millimeters of steel. After this episode, it also appears in the ending sequence.

Kars slashes the machine gun in two.

Joseph fires the machine guns.

The machine guns are visible as the plane touches the water. They are absent in several other shots.

Rudol von Stroheim's Weapons

In Episode 26 ("The Ascendant One"), Rudol von Stroheim is seen in Stalingrad with a variety of weapons, listed below.

PPSh-41 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

MG34 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

MG42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

M1A1 Bazooka - 2.36 inch

The first four weapons emerge from Stroheim's back. Left to right, they are a PPSh-41, an MG34, an MG42, and an M1A1 Bazooka.

Walther P38 - 9x19mm

MAC-10 with Sionics Two-Stage Sound Suppressor - .45 ACP

An additional two weapons appear. The one on the left is a Walther P38, and the one on the right is a MAC-10 with a suppressor. As this scene takes place in 1943, the latter weapon is anachronistic.

The final frame in which the weapons are shown.

Part 3: Stardust Crusaders
