Blue Archive the Animation (2024)

Blue Archive the Animation (Japanese title: ブルーアーカイブ The Animation, Burūākaibu The Animation) is a 2024 science fiction-action anime series based on the 2021 South Korean tactical role-playing game of the same name.

The following weapons were used in the anime series Blue Archive the Animation:


Handguns

Heckler & Koch P30S

Onikata Kayoko uses a two tone Heckler &, Koch P30S pistol, which is named "Demon's Roar". It is fitted with a suppressor, fictional silver and black grips and red trigger. It has four serrations in the front instead of five and lacks rear serrations (the front serrations also have red highlights). The external safety is indented (unlike in the game where it is the normal safety) and the rear hammer is enlarged and flattened.

Ditto. Due to the angle the pistol appears longer than it is in reality.

Submachine Guns

SIG-Sauer MPX

Hayase Yuuka uses twin 20-round magazine equipped SIG-Sauer MPX 2012 prototype submachine guns, which are named "Logic & Reason" respectively. They have blue highlights in the magazine window, part of the stock and selector and in the divits if the handguard rails. In-game she uses twin SIG-Sauer MPX-K 2012 prototype SMGs instead).

Shotguns

Beretta 1301 Tactical

Takanashi Hoshino uses a customized mostly white Beretta 1301 Tactical shotgun, which is named "Eye of Horus". It has a 21" barrel from the Comp model, Nordic MXT +3 Extension Kit, Mesa Tactical Urbino Pistol Grip Stock + Riser (the buttpad doesn't seem to be based on any particular butt they make for their 1301 stock), Mesa Tactical SureShell Aluminum Carrier And Rail, and seemingly fictional choke and a fictional smooth version of the Rowe Tactical OEM Charging Handle.

Fabarm SDASS

Rifles & Carbines

Beretta AR-70/223

Kuromi Serika uses a Beretta AR-70/223, which is named "Sincerity". It is equipped with a Vortex Crossfire II 3-9x40 Riflescope (on semi-fictionalized Vortex Rings), which is mounted to a fictional piece of picatinny rail (possibly mounted on the scope mount rails). Its receiver, gas tube and barrel are colored white. The handguard is mostly the same, albeit it wraps around the top of the barrel as well unlike in reality. The magazine is incorrectly depicted as a STANAG magazine instead of the proprietary AR-70/223 magazine, while also having a fictional floor plate. In addition, the artist appears to have confused the top half of the magazine for part of the rifle's receiver. In-game, Serika never removes the magazine and instead will simply tug the charging handle when reloading.

Karabiner 98k

Shiromi Iori uses a Karabiner 98k, which is named "Crack Shot". It has a spiked cheek rest, which defeats the entire purpose of a cheek rest.

M16A4

Kayoko is seen handling a scoped M16A4 rifle at the Problem Solver 68 headquarters. It differs from the rifles seen in the game's background art, as they have MWS-styled configurations.

M231 Firing Port Weapon

Kaiser PMC Automatons are equipped with M231 Firing Port Weapons with some sort of suppressor. Unlike in the game, the ones used by regular Automatons lack camouflage.

Pattern 14 Enfield

Hanekawa Hasumi uses a black Pattern 14 Enfield rifle, which is named "Impalement". It has ornate gold engravings, a gold trigger and guard, front sight, bolt, and bolt handle. It also has a brown rear sight, brown bands and brown upper handguard. SR Sukeban use all black Pattern 14 Enfields with rubber recoil pads. All rifles appear to lack finger grooves in their stocks.

SIG-Sauer SIG556 Classic

Sunaookami Shiroko uses a custom all white SIG-Sauer SIG556 Classic rifle, which is named "WHITE FANG 465". It is equipped with a fictional handguard (which appears to be a hybrid of the Classic handguard and the Magpul MOE handguard), SUSAT L9A1 Telescopic Sight, Knight’s Armament Forward Pistol Grip and SIG-Sauer SRD 556 QD suppressor. Normal black versions of the rifle are also seen in the hands of Helmet Gang members and use the same attachments as Shiroko's rifle (including the mounts for the SUSAT sights for some reason).

Machine Guns

M134 Minigun (Handheld)

A handheld version of the GE M134 Minigun is carried by Izayoi Nonomi, named "Little Machine Gun V". Note: The weapon appears to feed from a box magazine based on the one used by the M249, and has an mostly white paint scheme. The Minigun is also used by MG Sukeban.

While operating the Minigun in this manner is highly unfeasible in real life, it must be noted that every student in Kivotos (the world Blue Archive is set in), like Nonomi, seem to have superhuman strength and endurance and are quite proficient with firearms, with some able to one-hand Desert Eagles with no loss in efficiency and others operating the MG 42, a general-purpose machine gun, as they would any other rifle.

Heckler & Koch MG5

Asagi Mutsuki uses a reddish-brown Heckler & Koch MG5, named "Trick or Treat". It has a stylized stock, black pistol grip, and what appears to be RAL8000 FDE colored carry handle, fire selector, charging handle, stock hinge and trigger guard pin.
