Steins;Gate (April 6 - September 14, 2011)
Steins;Gate is a 2011 anime series produced by White Fox, based on the 5pb. visual novel of the same name. It centers around a group of college students (led by Rintaro "Okarin" Okabe) and their accidental creation of a device capable of sending text messages back in time, allowing them to alter the past.
A non-chronologically-linear sequel, Steins;Gate 0, was released in 2018.
The following weapons were used in the anime series Steins;Gate:
Handguns
Unknown 1911 Variant
In Episodes 12 ("Dogma in Ergosphere") and 13 ("Metaphysics Necrosis), Moeka Kiryu and another unnamed Rounder use presently-unidentified M1911A1-pattern pistols, as opposed to the Walther PPKs they used in the VN; in the latter episode, Suzuha Amane commandeers and uses one as well.
A masked Rounder raises his Colt...
...and points it directly at the members of the lab. And the screen.
He then pistol-whips the lab's TV.
Moeka Kiryu, the only non-masked member of the raiding group, points her 1911 at Mayuri Shiina.
Silently muttering about "FB", she pulls the trigger.
An expressionless Moeka holds her still-smoking Colt.
A side-on shot of the pistol; note the unusual presence of a
Colt Commander-style ring hammer on a full-sized 1911. Said hammer is also uncocked, despite the pistol having been fired mere seconds earlier.
Moeka aims her 1911 at Okabe.
Another pistol (the one belonging to the aloha-shirted Rounder at the top of this section) lies on the floor.
Picking it up, Suzuha engages in a Mexican standoff with Moeka, in one of the series's more famous moments.
Suzuha fires her pilfered pistol, creating an opening for the rest of the people in the room who understand the significance of that statement.
Moeka aims her Colt at Kurisu.
However, Okabe's impromptu smokescreen blocks her view, leaving her to fire randomly into the mist.
Rifles
AK-47
Several of the Rounders in Episodes 12 and 13 also use AK-47 rifles, seemingly of the Type III variety.

...followed by the handguard, rear sight, and part of the receiver (including the currently-engaged safety)...
...and then the silhouetted trigger group and magazine of another AK.
A brief, lower-detail shot of the Rounders and their weapons. Note that they're all wearing masks; in the VN, they were instead all bare-faced.
A good view of an AK's stock and pistol grip as it gets launched through the air by Suzuha.
Several low-detail AKs lie on the floor as Moeka and Suzuha stare each other down.
Explosives
M18A1 Claymore
First seen in Episode 10 ("Chaos Theory Homeostasis III"), "Future Gadget #4 - Moad Snake" is a replica M18A1 Claymore mine. Aside from serving as a reference to Metal Gear Solid, its actual purpose is a "super-instant humidifier", which translates to it producing a massive amount of steam as soon as it's opened.
Ruka Urushibara finds the Moad Snake, mistaking it for a camping/cooking kit.
Attempting to open the device, she removes the pin...
...and causes it to blow open.
This creates a large blast of steam, as per the device's intended function.
It's remarkably effective in doing so; the entire room is quickly filled with steam. It'd be even more impressive if someone could find an actual use for it.

Noted on how the screencaps have Funi on them. Ominae (talk) 03:02, 15 May 2020 (EDT)
- Yeah, they’re the only site that legally streams the show, unfortunately enough. If you want, I could edit out the watermark. BrandonColeford1992 (talk) 10:49, 15 May 2020 (EDT)
