Valkyria Chronicles (2009)

These weapons were used in the anime adaptation of the PlayStation 3 video game Valkyria Chronicles

Fictional Pistol

Welkin, Alicia and Faldio make use of a fictional semi-automatic handgun as their primary sidearms and as such it can be assumed that this weapon is the standard issue handgun of the Gallian armed forces although it is not seen in any other hands but the protagonists. The design draws some aesthetic influence from the M1911 design.

Alicia takes aim at Selvaria with a pistol.

Alicia draws her pistol on an Imperial soldier who bursts into the hut they seek cover in

Welkin draws his own pistol on a hostage taker, interesting enough he had just attended a ceremony with the Princess Cordelia, just a thought but would a party guest carry a loaded semi-automatic handgun not account as a security risk given wartime conditions?

Faldio aims down the sight of his sidearm at Alicia

To go even further he later takes princess Cordelia hostage with the same handgun to make his demands

Fictional Semi-Automatic Rifle

This fictional semi-automatic rifle is the primary rifle of both Gallian Army and the Gallian Militia, these weapons are used by all military riflemen most notably Alicia, Welkin and Faldio. A scoped sniper variant is used by Faldio, Squad 7 members and some Imperial snipers. The weapon draws aesthetic influence from the Gewehr 43 rifle.

Fictional Carbine

In distant shots of Imperial soldiers, weapons that look like short, black colored M1 Carbines are used.

Fictional Submachine Gun

A fictional submachine gun that looks like an enlarged MP40 is used by Imperial army Shocktroopers.

These appear to be loosely based on MP40's or some similar weapon

Fictional Assault Rifle

A fictional short-barreled assault rifle appears as a standard arm of the Gallian military shocktroopers, notably by Rosiebas. It appears to be inspired by the AKS-74U.

Model 24 Stielhandgranate

The Model 24 Stielhandgranate grenade used by the German army during the Second World war makes an appearance in Valkyria Chronicles as part of the large military memorabillia inside the Gunther house, the grenade is described to have been used in "The First war" by Isara, it is used by Alicia and is shown being thrown into a room during the second opening song.

Isara holds the Model 24 handgrenade, although in the anime the actual explosive storage is considerably larger than reality

Alicia throws a Model 24 grenade at an Imperial soldier

RGD-5

The RGD-5 hand grenade is seen in the hands of a wounded Imperial army deserter, he uses this as a far greater persuasive tool to hold Welkin and Alicia hostage than a selfloading rifle, this handgrenade is standard issue to the Imperia Army.

RDG-5

This Imperial soldier takes an effective approach to hold Welkin and Alicia hostage by pre pulling the pin of his RDG-5 before entering the cottage

The same soldier upon befriending Welkin and Alicia attempts to re-attach the pin of the grenade all the while slowly bleeding out from gunshot wounds

Russian Nagant M1895

Maximilian uses a Nagant Revolver. The weapon's cylinder is different from its real-world counterpart, as it appears to have more than six chambers in its cylinder.
