Upotte!! is a slice-of-life (roughly analogous to an American sitcom) Japanese anime series based on the manga of the same name by Kitsune Tennouji. Most of the main characters are school girls who are personified versions of various firearms (the main character, Funco, is literally an FN FNC assault rifle).

The series first aired on April 7, 2012 and is simulcast in English via Crunchyroll.com.
