Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³ (2013)
Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³ (Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C³-bu) follows Yura Yamato as she joins the airsoft club at the prestigious Stella Women's Academy; the C³ Club's name is derived from "command, control, and communications". The anime is an adaptation of the manga of the same name, which itself is a sequel to Stella Women’s Academy, Middle School Division Class C³ (Stella Jogakuin Chuutou-ka C³-bu).
Note: As this anime is about the sport of airsoft, all of the guns in the show are airsoft replicas, with the exception of a Desert Eagle wielded by Sonora in the first episode.
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
The following weapons were used in the anime series Stella Women's Academy, High School Division Class C³:
Pistols
Glock 17
A Glock 17 is given to Yura Yamato by Sonora Kashima in Episode 2, and she uses it as her sidearm for the rest of the show.
Glock 17 - 9x19mm Parabellum
Sonora pulls the Glock 17 out of a broken cello. The only plausible explanation for the loaded Glock being there is that she planted it specifically for this match. (Ep.2)

IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Sonora Kashima, president of the C³ Club, uses two chromed Desert Eagle Mark XIXs as her weapons of choice, and uses a real one while at a shooting competition in the US. She carries them in an unidentified leather horizontal shoulder holster. Rin Haruna, leader of the team from Meisei Girls' Academy, uses two black Desert Eagles as her sidearms. Both Sonora and Rin have had their respective pairs of Desert Eagles since they were very young.
Miyagi Mochizuki of Team KGB uses a chrome Desert Eagle with 10-inch barrel and custom rear sight, safety, and grips. This Desert Eagle, called the "Leon Custom" by Tokyo Marui, is a replica of a pistol from the Resident Evil series.

Yachiyo Hinata uses a SIG-Sauer P228 as her main sidearm. This is the only gun regularly used by a member of the C³ Club that is not by Tokyo Marui; it is made by WE.
SIG-Sauer P228 - 9x19mm Parabellum
Yachiyo Hinata with her SIG-Sauer P228. The lighting in this shot makes it look nickel-plated. (Ep.1)

Springfield Armory XDᴹ-40 4.5
The team from Meisei Girls' Academy uses the XDᴹ-40 4.5 as their sidearm, and it is issued out to all members of the team. Although the team is always referred to my their school name, they actually do have a team name: "Dangan Uchuu", which translates to "Hail Of Bullets". It's never spoken, but is seen on the wall behind Rin's desk at their firing range.
Springfield Armory XDᴹ-40 4.5 - .40 S&W
Hail Of Bullets with their XDᴹ-40s out on the firing range. From left to right, they are Anna, Maya, Kyouko, Kazuha, and Chisato. Maya's XDᴹ can be seen cycling here. (Ep.9)
Another angle of the range, this time with Kyouko's pistol mid-cycle. In this shot in the airing show, the pistols were all Desert Eagles; the animator most likely used Rin's Desert Eagle as a reference by mistake, but it was fixed in the blu-ray release. (Ep.9)
Yura draws her XDᴹ in combat, needing something smaller than her MP5K-PDW. (Ep.10)
Yura fires her XDᴹ at the Hail Of Bullets range. (Ep.10)
Yura training with her XDᴹ, as Chisato and Rin discuss Yura's exceptional technical skill; Chisato serves as Rin's second-in-command. The lighting makes the pistol appear to have a two-tone finish in this scene. (Ep.10)
Beretta M9
Yura holds onto a Beretta M9 while participating in her first airsoft battle. This Tokyo Marui pistol has M9 trademarks, rather the 92FS's trademarks.
Beretta M9 - 9x19mm Parabellum
Yura holding the M9. (Ep.1)
Glock 26
Akane Seto of Team Seto uses two red Glock 26s. These are part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series, low-powered pistols intended for younger players, and are available in various bright colours along with standard black and two-tone silver finishes. As such, these pistols would be a poor choice as primary weapons due to their extremely low velocity and range.
Glock 26 - 9x19mm Parabellum
Tokyo Marui G26 "Gindan" (red) - 6mm BB
Moe Seto and Akane Seto fire their PPK/S and Glock 26, respectively. While the weapons are hard to distinguish here, features present later in the episode and the shooting sound show that they are TM Gindan series pistols. (Ep.5)
Akane Seto aims her pink Glock 26s. (Ep.5)
Akane gets hit. The lack of a safety along with the square slide profile identify these as the Glock. (Ep.5)
Walther PPK/S
Moe Seto, similar to her twin, uses a blue PPK/S, also part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series. A black PPK/S can be seen on the back of a Field Queen Contest poster. Of note, to avoid trademark issues Marui replaced the "Walther" markings with "Waffen" and "PPK/S" with "PPKSS".
Tokyo Marui PPK/S "Gindan" (blue) - 6mm BB
Moe Seto and Midori Seto get hit out while the former holds her blue PPK/S. The PPK/S safety lever and Walther logo can be seen here. (Ep.5)

We're gonna go out on a limb and assume they're ALL equipped with Five-seveNs.
GOD DAMN look at 'em all! (Ep.12)
Hawkins 1748
A Field Queen Contest participant going by the name Anne Bonny, a reference to the famous female pirate of the same name, appropriately uses a flintlock pistol. Although not particularly detailed, it is most likely the Hawkins 1748 replica made by KTW. While that model would be anachronistic for the character she's roleplaying, the KTW Hawkins 1878 is the only widespread airsoft flintlock pistol, making it the only real option for someone cosplaying a pirate and in need of a flintlock pistol.
Hawkins 1748 flintlock pistol. Denix-made non-firing replica of the one used by George Washington.
Anne Bonny with her 1748 as she gets hit by Yura in a battle summary. (Ep.13)
Beretta 92FS Brigadier "Samurai Edge"
The customized Beretta 92FS Brigadier from the Resident Evil series appears to be used by Kiku Nagato, who is cosplaying Jill Valentine (specifically her Resident Evil 3: Nemesis outfit) in the Field Queen Contest. Tokyo Marui makes a whole line of customized guns from the Resident Evil series, which is known as Biohazard in Japan.
Tokyo Marui 92FS Brigadier "Samurai Edge" - 6mm BB
Jill Valentine Kiku Nagato surrenders to Rin Haruna, holding up her exceptionally generic-looking pistol. However, given her outfit it can be assumed this is a Samurai Edge pistol; the proportions are also consistent with a 92FS, along with the slightly extended barrel. (Ep.13)
Mauser C96
Maiotome Ise uses a Mauser C96 in the Field Queen Contest.
Mauser C96 - 7.63x25mm Mauser

Though not especially detailed and incorrectly having forward cocking serrations (possibly to cover trademarks), a USP is seen in Sonora's drawer in Episode 1.
Heckler & Koch USP - 9x19mm Parabellum

The center player's pistol is fairly detailed, but what it is is unclear. (Ep.3)
Revolvers
Colt 1873
In Yura's imagination in Episode 6, she and Sonora are wielding Colt 1873s, more commonly known as Single Action Armys, in a wild west shootout. Given that it's in Yura's imagination, the guns can be assumed to be authentic Colt 1873s and not one of the more modern clones.

M3A1
Hail Of Bullets' team leader, Rin Haruna, uses an M3A1 "Grease Gun" as her main weapon. By process of elimination of the features found on the three airsoft M3 replicas (ICS, ARES, and S&T) Rin's is the S&T model. The ICS is a replica of the original M3, the ARES is an M3A1 but bizarrely also has the crank charging handle, and the S&T is a proper M3A1, but with a slightly-longer-than-correct pistol grip to fit its battery. Rin's lacks the crank and has the slightly longer pistol grip, making it the S&T.

Rin surrenders Yachiyo with her M3A1; this seems to be her preferred way of eliminating people. (Ep.13)
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW
Members of the Hail Of Bullets airsoft team under Rin's command are all equipped with identical Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDWs, fitted with castle-style rear sights (more common to the standard MP5K), MP5 claw mount red dot scopes, Gemtech Raptor-II suppressors, and 15-round magazines. In one shot the optic is shown to have both night vision and zoom, though in reality it's a simple co-witness red dot sight. The weapon is standard issue, as new recruits get them and are required to return them when they leave the club.
Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW with suppressor - 9x19mm Parabellum
MP5KA4 - 9x19mm Parabellum. The team's PDWs feature the castle-style rear sight and short magazine seen here.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1 - 4.6x30mm
A competitor aiming his MP7A1. Note how it is much larger in scale than the real version, so much so that the competitor can shoulder it despite the stock being collapsed all the way. (Ep.3)

M1A1 Thompson
A tournament competitor is shown firing his M1A1 Thompson in Episode 3, while couple of competitors in the 24-hour tournament are also seen with M1A1s. An info booklet included with the Japanese blu-ray releases includes a section covering the weapons of various teams, and lists Yoichi Mochizuki of Team KGB as using a Thompson, though by the time he first appears on-screen during the tournament he's carrying a flag for the team, with his Thompson nowhere to be seen.

Sonora scopes in on Yura. (Ep.12)
Heckler & Koch G36KA2
Honoka Mutsu uses a Heckler & Koch G36KA2 as her main weapon. The A2 upgrades to the G36 are the replacement of the built-in red dot sight with a picatinny rail, a slightly different handguard made of aluminum that features attachment points for rails, and the shorter G36C stock. The Marui replica uses a standard stock instead of the C-length one, however most real G36A2s seem to still use the standard stock as well. Marui's G36KA2 also features SEF fire selector markings, which makes sense as a German Army rifle. Also worth noting is that another G36KA2 airsoft replica exists (made by VFC) which has identical features to the Marui, and it is officially licensed by Heckler & Koch, making this setup rather official.

Yachiyo fires her Type 89-F at a confused Rento as the Stellas all fight each other. (Ep.12)
A good shot of Yachiyo and her Type 89-F. It looks really big for her size, but she could handle the length of the AWS so why not? (Ep.12)

Rento and Yachiyo ready their rifles. (Ep.12)
Yachiyo joins in the group cheer with her Type 89-F. (Ep.12)
M4A1
Yura uses an M4A1 as her first main weapon; she was found playing with it while daydreaming in her room in Episode 1 and uses it as her primary in Episode 2 and 3. Various competitors in the tournament and the 24-hour tournament are also seen using M4A1s.
Colt M4A1 - 5.56x45mm NATO
Sonora takes on a whole team in the intro sequence; the players in the foreground have M4A1s, while those in the background appear to have AKs. (OP)
Sonora teaching Yura how to use the M4A1. It's badly proportioned here, but looks great in Episode 3. (Ep.2)
Close up of the selector switch on Yura's M4A1. (Ep.2)
An M4 with a customized front end, ACOG, and pink paint is seen at the tournament. (Ep.3)
A competitor with her two-tone pink M4A1. This M4A1, called the Femme Fatale, is made by manufacturer G&G, though it comes with a SOPMOD stock rather than an LE one. (Ep.3)
Yura holding her M4A1 in the tournament. (Ep.3)
A competitor with his M4A1, customized with a tan handguard, stock, and pistol grip. (Ep.3)
Yura runs with her M4A1. (Ep.3)
This M4-ish rifle seen in a 24-hour tournament advertisement has a rather stretched handguard, but has the barrel indent and collapsible stock of an M4A1, so it's likely just an art error, seeing as it's also completely lacking a magwell. (Ep.7)
A competitor with an M4A1 (or similar rifle) in the 24-hour tournament. (Ep.8)
A member of the USMC team gets hit with his M4A1, which is fitted with a full stock, rail system, Aimpoint sight, and vertical grip. The full stock is not an uncommon modification in airsoft, as this allows the rifle to fit a much larger battery. (Ep.8)
AKS-47
Suiting his personality, Daishichi Hamakaze of Team KGB uses a gold AKS-47 as his main weapon. These were limited production rifles made by airsoft manufacturer SRC.
Daishichi on the left with his gold AKS-47. (Ep.8)
Daishichi runs for cover, showing he also has a holstered pistol. (Ep.8)
Daishichi firing at Team Stella with his AKS-47. The selector switch is on semi throughout the whole scene, but he's firing full auto. (Ep.8)
TM AK-47 β-Spetsnaz
Karila's twin brother Aila Hatsuse of Team KGB, uses a Tokyo Marui AK-47 β-Spetsnaz (pronounced "Beta-Spetsnaz") as his main weapon.

Aila takes on his sister while armed with his AK-47β in the Field Queen Contest. (Ep.13)
"AKMSU"
Custom AKs very close to AKMSUs appear several times, always in the exact same configuration; it's not unreasonable to assume they were modeled from a custom airsoft AK owned by someone involved in making the show. While airsoft replicas of the original MOD Pattern Room "AKMSU" model do exist, these weapons differ from them by having a standard AK top cover/rear sight, not having the unique handguard, and lacking a stock (though they're still built from AKS lower receivers, due to the stock attachment point). Put another way, they're AKS-47s with AKS-74U gas systems and no stocks, making them more similar to custom AKMSU-like models. Seira Yaguchi uses one with polymer furniture in the Field Queen Contest, a competitor on the first team faced in Episode 3 uses one, and nearly the entire team that Rin's Hail Of Bullets faces repeatedly in Episode 10 are armed with them.
Converted AKM pistol - 7.62x39mm
A competitor runs from Rento's impressive grenade throw with his AKMSU. Given this isn't even 10 seconds into the match it's acceptable that his rifle is still on safe. (Ep.3)
The same competitor gets hit by Sonora's Desert Eagle while holding his AKMSU. (Ep.3)
Two players with their AKMSUs. (Ep.10)
The same team gears up for another match with their AKMSUs. (Ep.10)
A good closeup showing the attachment point for the stock, and the rifle set to full auto. (Ep.10)
Seira Yaguchi uses her custom AK in the Field Queen Contest. (Ep.13)

The HK416 fitted with a red dot sight on the left, below the PSG1 on the poster. (Ep.13)
The HK416 fitted with an EOTech holosight on the back of the poster, above the AUG. (Ep.13)
M16A1
An M16A1 can be seen on a gun rack in the club room, and competitor can be seen with an M16A1 in the 24-hour tournament.
Colt M16A1 - 5.56x45mm NATO
The M16A1 can be seen in the background gun rack, second from the top. (Ep.1)
The competitor resting on the right has a M16A1 fitted with a three-prong flash hider. It's not an original M16 as it has a forward assist. (Ep.8)
M16
A Stella Regiment member has an M16 aimed at the C³ Club. The rifle clearly lacks a forward assist, and there is only one original M16 airsoft replica, a gas-powered rifle made by G&P; all other older-style M16 replicas are of the M16A1. Just like on real ones, the birdcage flash hider is an aftermarket part. Given how common it is for original M16s (or visually similar rifles) to be fitted with birdcage flash hiders, especially for film and TV, and that there is no airsoft replica of the M82A3 seen in the very next shot, it's highly likely that the animators used images of real rifles as reference for both of these guns, rather than airsoft versions.
Colt M16 with birdcage flash hider - 5.56x45mm NATO
A Stella student aiming an M16 with a birdcage flash hider. (Ep.12)
FAMAS F1
A FAMAS F1 can be seen in on a gun rack in the club room.
FAMAS F1 - 5.56x45mm NATO
The FAMAS F1 can be seen on the gun rack on the very top. (Ep.1)
Enfield L85A2
Competitors in Honoka's briefing on the rules of the 24-hour tournament are armed with L85s.
Enfield L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO
Although not especially detailed, the L85 has a pretty distinctive design. (Ep.8)
Fabrique Nationale SCAR-L
A FN SCAR-L is seen on the back of a magazine Sonora is reading.
Fabrique Nationale SCAR-L - 5.56x45mm NATO
The magazine with a SCAR-L on the back cover. (Ep.7)
TM AUG A3 High Cycle
A Tokyo Marui AUG A3 High Cycle can be seen on the cover of the Field Queen Contest poster. The High Cycle is an AUG A3 XS submachine gun, but chambered in 5.56mm using standard AUG magazines. The AUG A3 HC is the prize for the winner of the contest, along with free BBs for a year, while the other guns on the back of the poster are presumably prizes for second place and below. Being part of Tokyo Marui's "High Cycle" series, this rifle has a very impressive rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute!
Steyr AUG A3 XS - 9x19mm Parabellum
Steyr AUG A3 - 5.56x45mm NATO

Honoka holding her M1 Garand, while Rento appears to have misplaced hers. (Ep.5)
While no firearms are in this image, it's certainly worth being noted in this section. Also slightly ironic, being a Japanese show. (Ep.5)
M14
An M14 with a dark OD stock can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1. A bunch of M14s can also be seen coming out of a locker in Episode 12.
An M14 on the far left. (Ep.1)
The M14s in a locker. (Ep.12)
Fabrique Nationale SCAR-H
An FN SCAR-H can be seen on a gun rack in the club room, and a tournament competitor in the 24-hour tournament also has a SCAR-H.

The SCAR-H can be seen in the background gun rack on the very bottom. (Ep.1)
The competitor in the boonie hat has a SCAR-H with a red dot scope on it. (Ep.8)
Heckler & Koch G3A4
An H&K G3A4 can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1, and a competitor in the 24-hour tournament appears to use a G3A4. It is specifically an A4, as TM's G3A3 has the green slimline handguard while the G3/SG1 has a bipod.
Heckler & Koch G3A4 - 7.62x51mm NATO
The G3A4 is on the far right. The M24, M4A1, and AUG A1 are all seen outside the closet later in the show. (Ep.1)
The player in the middle just took a hit to his G3A4; depending on the rules used here this either means he's out, or the gun is out and he must use his sidearm. (Ep.8)
Heckler & Koch G3A3
An H&K G3A3 can be seen hanging on a gun wall in in club room, as well as on a banner for the first tournament, and a poster in an airsoft shop.
Heckler & Koch G3A3 - 7.62x51mm NATO
The G3A3 at the very bottom of the rack. (Ep.6)
A G3A3 is below the M60 and G36KA2, and above the AWS. (Ep.3)

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I - .303 British
As a Matilda II tank drives over Yura's trench, soldiers can be seen running alongside with their No. 4 Mk Is. (Ep.4)
A better view of a Lee-Enfield as a soldier jumps the trench. (Ep.4)
Machine Guns

Karila dual-wielding M60s in her imagination. (Ep.1)
Rambo fires his M60 in the movie. (Ep.1)

First Blood. The title is a pun; 乱暴 (
Ranbō) means "violent" or "rough" in Japanese. (Ep.1)
Trigger-happy Karila lets loose her M60 machine gun. (Ep.1)
...which then becomes a real one in Yura's first immersive vision. (Ep.1)

The Besa can be seen to the right of the Matilda II's main cannon, from its perspective. (Ep.4)
Sniper Rifles
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Suppressed
Yachiyo Hinata uses an Accuracy International AWS as her usual primary weapon. In addition to the rifle itself, the Parker-Hale bipod, raised rail mount, medium-height scope rings, and 3-9x40 scope are all Tokyo Marui products.

The M24 is seen in Sonora's closet, second from the left. (Ep.1)
Yura holding the M4A1 she ends up using as her primary, with the M24 on her back, and two M4 magazines strapped to her head. (Ep.1)
Yura tries to explain why she's become a mall ninja. (Ep.1)
TM VSR-10
Hibiki Tsubaki and another competitor in the 24-hour tournament use Tokyo Marui VSR-10s, which are essentially Remington Model 700 copies. It is identified by the far-forward placement of the magazine, and the little grooves on each side of the magazine well which let fingers pull the mag out, as standard mags fit flush.
Tokyo Marui VSR-10 - 6mm BB
Hibiki uses a VSR-10 with extended mags as his weapon of choice. (Ep.8)
The competitor second from left has a VSR-10; there isn't much identifiable detail other than the stock color. (Ep.8)
Barrett M82A3
A member of the Stella Regiment is armed with a Barrett M82A3. Distinguishable from other Barrett M82 variants by its raised accessory rail on top in combination with the rail stopping short of the front with a folding front sight, and lack of a rear sight. There is no airsoft replica of the M82A3; the only M82 series replicas are of the original M82A1 and the M107.
A Stella Regiment member with a M82A3 aimed at the Stella club; the scope appears to be the same as the one on the real rifle in the photo above. She seems to have removed the bipod in favor of using a comrade as a bipod, which if it was real would be a
BAD idea. (Ep.12)
Heckler & Koch PSG1
A Heckler & Koch PSG1 can be seen on a gun rack in the club room. A PSG1 can also be seen at a gun booth at the 24-hour tournament. A PSG1 fitted with its proprietary bipod can be seen on the Field Queen Contest poster as well. Notable is that this was Yachiyo's sniper rifle in the middle school manga set three years earlier (in which Rento was the protagonist and new member). Also noteworthy, Yachiyo's surname was romanized "Hyuuga" in the original manga ("Hinata" being an alternate reading of the same kanji), which is in line with virtually all of the characters' family names being taken from Japanese Navy warships.
Heckler & Koch PSG1 - 7.62x51mm NATO
The PSG1 can be seen in the background gun rack, second from the bottom. (Ep.1)
A PSG1 on a rack. This rack is a duplicate of the one in the club room, though mirrored (which ironically makes it correct). The rack on the left side of the screen is the one in question, just in case there was any confusion. (Ep.7)
The PSG1 can be seen on the poster's left side, above the HK416. (Ep.13)
The PSG1 on poster's back side, below the AUG. (Ep.13)
Unidentified sniper rifles
A long rifle's box can be seen behind the boonie hat and boots. It has a very distinctive gap between the barrel and stock near the front. (Ep.1)
A sniper rifle of some sort is seen in the middle, to the left of what appears to be an M9. What's especially odd here is what's clearly a Tokyo Marui booth has been changed to "Tokyo Kakui", despite the fact that TM actually sponsored the show. (Ep.7)
Other
Ordnance QF 2-pounder
The Matilda II tank in Yura's immersive vision is primarily armed with an Ordnance QF 2-pounder.
The QF 2-pounder is the Matilda II's main cannon. (Ep.4)
RPG-7

A smug Stella student wielding her RPG-7; the student next to her has a scoped rifle. (Ep.12)
Stella Women's Academy High School Regiment
Some members of the Stella Regiment are armed with various rifles, sniper rifles, and/or shotguns. All are more detailed than simple stick guns, but none enough for a solid ID.
Most students here are armed with a rifle of some sort. (Ep.12)
And another pair. Some reasonable guesses could be made in these pictures. (Ep.12)
