Baccano!

Baccano! (2007)

Baccano! (translated from Italian as "Ruckus") is a anime television series based on a series of light novels by Ryohgo Narita. The show consists of 13 televised episodes and 3 DVD-exclusive episodes, and is primarily set in New York City and Chicago between 1930 to 1932. The author has cited several American gangster flicks such as The Untouchables, The Public Enemy, Once Upon A Time In America and Miller's Crossing as being key inspirations.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Baccano!:

Pistols

M1911A1

The iconic M1911A1 is one of the more frequently seen weapons in the series. Most are unmodified, save for the Gandor brothers who all carry M1911A1s equipped with sound suppressors.

Rifles

M1903 Springfield

One of the Lemures uses a 1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle with an M84 scope.

Pump-Action Rifle

Ladd Russo's weapon of choice is a fictional rifle with a straight-grip stock, a hexagonal barrel, and (oddly) no sights; it appears to have been based on the Winchester Model 1873, but is pump-action rather than lever-action. Notably, Ladd typically uses the rifle one-handed; a lever-action rifle could actually be cycled with one hand, so the decision to make it a pump-action instead is rather bizarre.

Ladd chambers a round in his rifle.

Ladd yells at a subordinate, showing terrible trigger discipline; this is actually appropriate, as beyond Ladd's complete disregard for practically anyone's safety, trigger discipline was extremely uncommon during the 1930s.

One of the bullets from Ladd's rifle, shortly after Graham Spectre manages to grab it out of the air with his adjustable wrench; this isn't even the most impossible thing he does during this scene. Note that the bullet is spitzer-pointed, which would cause some serious problems with his clearly tube-fed rifle.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897

The Winchester Model 1897 makes an appearance in the hands of a police officer during the first episode.

Submachine Guns

M1928 Thompson Submachine Gun

Keeping with the classic Depression-era feel, the most prevalent weapon in Baccano! is the iconic M1928 Thompson Submachine Gun.

M1928 "Tommy Gun" - .45 ACP with 50-round drum magazine, made famous through countless classic gangster movies.

Other Weapons

Type 93/Type 100 flamethrower

Near the end of the Flying Pussyfoot arc, Goose is seen using a flamethrower which appears to be a Japanese Type 93 / 100 Flamethrower.

Glove Gun

Goose's glove has a semi-automatic gun built into it that fires when the barrel is pressed inward with the intent of pressing the barrel up against a target. This general concept is similar to the OSS Pistol Glove.
