Trigun is a 26 episode anime series from Madhouse Studio based on the manga by Yasuhiro Nightow. Set on a desert planet populated by small settlements of human settlers, the story follows Vash the Stampede, an outlaw known as the "Humanoid Typhoon" with a 6,000,000,000$$ ("double dollar") bounty on his head. The series is notable for being one of the major anime titles in the U.S. in the 90's, where it gained far more popularity than in Japan.
Note:Many of the weapons in the series are based on real-world designs but have been modified to appear more futuristic. Most modifications are largely cosmetic and will simply be noted as "Futuristic" in the section header.
The following weapons appear in the anime Trigun:
Handguns
Vash's Revolver
Vash the Stampede's primary weapon is a fictional silver-plated double-action, .45 Long Colt revolver. It possesses a 6 o' clock position barrel similar to a Mateba Autorevolver, a break-top mechanism similar to a Schofield Model 3. The revolver's internal operation is somewhat unclear. The barrel mates up with the lowest chamber of the cylinder, but when fired, the hammer does not appear to be striking the round in that chamber. There may be an internal mechanism that redirects the force of the hammer down to the correct round. It appears to be styled in this way to keep the gun looking more conventional, instead of having the more unusual-looking hammers of the Mateba handguns.
DA38 Derringer
Insurance agent Meryl Stryfe has around 50 BTJ DA38 Derringers lining the inside of her coat. As they are single shots she drops each gun after she fires it and gets a new one from her coat
Grader Single Hand 2043
Nicholas Wolfwood carries a pair fictional 1911-style handguns called the "Grader Single Hand 2043". According to markings on the weapon, it is a .45ACP handgun, manufactured by a "Grader Arms Co.", based out of July City. The most distinguishing feature about these weapons is the cocking lever; the front of the triggerguard is separate form the rest of the triggerguard and is attached directly to the slide. This allows the shooter to rack the slide with their shooting hand, allowing the pistol to be used completly one-handed.
Futuristic Single Action Army
Two thugs in a bar at the beginning of episode 1 are seen with a pair of Single Action Army revolvers. Both weapons appear to have two ejector rods.
Unidentified Pistol
The leader of the Badlands Gang uses an unidentified pistol, it appears to be based off the Wildey Magnum or AutoMag pistols (Note: In the Manga, Neon used a Single Action Army instead of this RugerAutomagWildey thing.)
The markings on the gun, notice the wording for "Magnum"
Submachine Guns
Rifles
Shotguns
Machine Guns
Milly's "stun-gun"
Insurance agent Milly Thompson carries with her a large gatling-style concussion gun, usually concealed under her coat. It fires long projectiles which unfold into 4-armed crosses which have enough force to incapacitate people, or flip over trucks.
Other Weapons
Vash's Arm cannon v.1
Located in Vash's prosthetic left arm, the hand pivots downward to rest on the trigger mechanism and reveal a gun mounted in the arm.
Vash's Arm cannon v.2
After visiting the flying ship, Vash recieves an upgraded arm cannon which appears to have a machine gun rate of fire.
Rocket Launcher
The shorter part of the Punisher is the rocket launcher.
