Difference between revisions of "Hellsing"

Revision as of 07:23, 13 January 2010

The following guns were used in the anime series Hellsing and from it's OVA "Hellsing Ultimate"

Hellsing like many anime started as a manga or graphic novel. The story revolves on an English organization called Hellsing, most likely based on the original Van Helsing. It's mission is obvious, to hunt down vampires mainly, though on the side they do tackle demonic agents of vampires like ghouls, zombie like creatures that are essential like vampires but their wills are controlled by a head vampire.

The Anime was a bit different and somewhat tame compared to the events in the manga, as such, an "OVA", a direct to video series, was created, not complete yet, that shows the more main story of the series rather than filler.

Alucard is the main character of the series, which the series hints that he is Dracula, but now under the service of the head of the Hellsing family. He is not a vampire turned good. He's a true monster that is unleashed on other vampires.

The OVA was created several years after the original anime and with different artists and a bigger budget, resulting in a very different result compared to the TV anime.

Handguns

Hellsing Arms .454 Casull

Alucard's first gun, which is a longslide .454 Cassull Autoloader. The first custom handgun made by Hellsing, specifically designed by Walter. It's essentially a very big semiautomatic pistol, with a length of 39cm. It's chambered for the mighty .454 Casull round, which finds use primarily in hunting large game, such as deer and bears. Of course, these bullets are special, being made out of silver obtained from melted holy relics, with an exploding property as well, making for a rather devastating cartridge against the legions of the night.

The Casull is believed to be based upon the Colt 1911 (or its variants like the longslide). However it also bears a resemblance to early model Colt pistols.

In some close ups, one may note that the hammer is never fully cocked, indicative of either a double action or fast-action mechanism similar to

The lengthy barrel and slide gives this gun incredible accuracy, and the weight at the front of the gun makes the massive round significantly more controllable. Something this extreme suits Alucard perfectly.

Alucard's .454 in the original anime

OVA version

Trivia: During the flashbacks to World War II (specifically 1945), Alucard is seen using this same weapon. This is anachronistic, as the .454 Casull round was developed in 1957.

Jackal

Alucard's second handgun, also made especially for him. The Jackal was made by Walter after Alucard's first encounter with Anderson - in fact, it likely was specifically designed with him in mind, considering the phrase "'Jesus Christ is in Heaven Now'", a variation on a similar statement on Anderson's equipment, is engraved on the side. The Jackal has an overall length of 39cm (the same length as the Casull), is made from pure silver, and weighs 16kg. The slide covers the entire top frame, and there are thus no creases or lines on the top part of the gun, making room for the engraving. Obviously, no human could possibly use this gun without being blown away by it. The breech also faces the left, instead of the right, so it's more of a sister gun to the .454, though it's magazines can hold about the same amount of bullets that the Casull is capable of. The bullets are different as well, being a bigger 13mm, with a gold casing, a reinforced core for armor penetration, a mercury explosive and each bullet being baptized. Compared to the Casull, the Jackal is distinctly lacking in terms of aesthetic features, and is devoid of any contours on the side or frame save for the grip. This suggests that Walter designed the weapon immediately after Alucard's encounter with Anderson and did not have time to improve its appearance.

This gun is of fantastic proportions. No 13mm round was ever produced. A .50 alone would equal 12.7mm, meaning each bullet must be manufactured by Hellsing alone. It's curious as to how this weapon can weigh 16kg when a full size 7.62X51mm machine gun only weighs 11kg, the weight is probably necessary to control the 13mm rounds, though with a gun this heavy you could probably fire a .50cal BMG round and still have the same desired effect.

Colt Single Action Army

The Colt SAA is Pip's sidearm of choice.

Pip uses a Glock with a suppressor in the OVA. Seras also had a Glock as her sidearm when she joined Hellsing in the Anime. None of them can be seen clearly enough to distinguish the exact model/caliber.

Submachine guns

Yan Valentine's gun - Customized FN P90s

Jan's P90 is considerably customized, first having part of the stock and handle removed, with a more conventional pistol grip placed instead. A silencer has been added, along with an underbarrel laser dot sight. Of course, his eye sigil also adorns the side of the weapon. In the anime, one had a long scope attached to it and the other a red dot sight.

Rifles

Seras's Rifle, unnamed

This unknown rifle was used by Seras before she was given the Hallconnen. She also used it with a drum magazine later on in the Anime and OVA. In the original anime, the rifle had a more black polymer finish and stock, but in the OVA, it was switched to wood. Also in the original anime, this rifle was fully automatic, but in the OVA, Seras's only fires it in semi.

Luke Valentine's gun - Cut down M1 Garand

Luke's gun is a pair of cut-down M1 Garands. In the Anime, both the stock and barrel/fore-end have been cut down, effectively turning these rifles into high-caliber pistols. In the OVA, only the barrel and fore-end have been cut, and the stock has been left intact.

Heavy weapons

Hallconnon cannon

Seras Victoria gets this cannon later in the series. This is the weapon that Walter gives Seras in episode 5, "Brotherhood" and the OVA shows the same scene as well, in the 2nd episode. This weapon's name is actually pronounced "Harkonnen"and is a reference to the primary antagonists of the novel Dune, House Harkonnen (the spelling discrepancy is the result of the Japanese pronounciation of "Harkonnen"). The cannon is almost hilariously oversized, but Seras soon handles it like a normal rifle because of her strength as a vampire. Walter says that it uses depleted uranium shells, and high explosive rounds.

This is effectively an artillery piece scaled down to so a person can hold it like a rifle, which Seras does from time to time. It operates using a traditional breech-action system.

Incognito's Armscor 40mm MGL

This is a fictional multi-shot grenade launcher based off the South African Milkor MGL.

In the Anime, the weapon does not fire normal explosive grenades (though a wide range of ammo can be used, Incognito loads them with special shells containing multiple dart-like objects that have some magical property, which Alucard describes it as "magic from the dark continent").

Hallconnon II

A weapons system consisting of a pair 30mm semi-automatic cannons coupled with an incredibly large ammunition supply. She uses these weapons to barrage Zorin's blimp with an overwhelming display of firepower. The ammunition containers are detachable, and Seras is seen using Hallconnen II without them, though she quickly runs out of ammo.

Vladamir

Described as a "Wide area saturation, high explosive incendiary grenade launcher", the Vladamir is a set of muzzle-fired grenades that are part of the Hallconnon II weapon system. Seras uses these to deliver the final blow to Zorin's blimp.

Wall of Guns

Seen in the first episode of the OVA. It consists of

a Sig P220 series
an AK-74
an M16 with the three-pronged compensator [drawn upside down]
an M1911
an M16 with the birdcage compensator
a Colt Python
Franchi LM57

Near the end of the wall of guns several muzzle-loading muskets, one with a bayonet attached, can be seen.

And all these were pointed at Alucard, but were still not enough firepower to take down one of the most powerful vampires in existence.

There's also no one holding any of the guns.

 === Luke Valentine's gun - Cut down M1 Garand ===
-Luke's gun is an M1 Garand with cut down barrel and stock to give it a pistol grip, Luke carries two of these hidden in his jacket and uses them to but a pair of bullet in Alucard's head, for all the good that does.
+Luke's gun is a pair of cut-down M1 Garands. In the Anime, both the stock and barrel/fore-end have been cut down, effectively turning these rifles into high-caliber pistols. In the OVA, only the barrel and fore-end have been cut, and the stock has been left intact.
-In the OVA, Luke's cut down M1s only had the barrel cut down, but not the stocks.
