Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory (May 23, 1991 – September 24, 1992).

Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory is a 13-episode OVA series intended to serve as a prequel to the 1985 TV series Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam. Three and a half years after the defeat of the Principality of Zeon in the original 1979 Mobile Suit Gundam series, an Earth Federation mobile suit training/testing program (drawing clear inspiration from Top Gun) is interrupted when a remnant Zeon force led by Zeon ace pilot Anavel Gato steals a nuclear warhead carrying prototype mobile suit. This sudden attack forces the largely untested and unprepared Federation forces to pursue a foe that vastly outmatches them in experience and skill.

The following weapons were used in the OVA Mobile Suit Gundam 0083: Stardust Memory:

Pistols

Earth Federation Force Pistol

The Earth Federation Force Pistol (called M71A1 in some sources) is seen with various EF military personnel as their standard sidearm.

Walther P08

The Walther P08 is seen with ex-Principality of Zeon officer Cima Garahau as her sidearm, seen prominently in "Assault on the Point of No Return". Ex-PZ officer Anavel Gato also uses it in "A Storm Raging Through" with Anaheim Electronics engineer Nina Purpleton taking it briefly.

Submachine Guns

MP40

The MP40 is likely seen with some of Cima's men when they seize control of the Gwaden in "Assault on the Point of No Return".

Assault Rifles

STG 44

The Sturmgewehr 44 is seen with a Zeon Afrika Korps soldier in the second OP sequence "Men of Destiny".

M72A1 Assault Rifle

The M72A1 futuristic bullpup assault rifle is seen with the Eart Federation military as their standard assault rifle. The assault rifle is visually based on the Enfield L85 assault rifle with the addition of an M16A1 carry handle and front sight. It is chambered in 4.8mm, which is a possible shoutout to the prototype 4.85x49mm cartridge.
