Unless confirmed otherwise I'm just gonna assume that all RE airsoft replicas are Tokyo Marui. Please add image sources people so I won't accidentally identify some guy's custom work as TM official.

Seburo & Posiedon things (mainly Poseidon)

Seburo (Japanese: セブロ) is a fictional arms company created by Japanese science fiction mangaka Masamune Shirow. The company and its products have appeared in multiple works by Shirow (Ghost in the Shell, Appleseed, New Dominion Tank Police, Black Magic M-66, etc).

Dai-Nihon Giken Poseidon is a Japanese indie studio (named after Poseidon Global Industrial Technologies in Appleseed) led by artist Seiji Tanaka that produces airsoft conversion kits and model replicas for anime and manga weapons, including Seburo weapons. They also produce other Anime-inspired original creations, such as the CQB TYPE-0 "RAISEN" conversion kit seen in Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries (2003) or the Type 06 IkaZuchi conversion kit; the latter was notably cloned without license by Jing Gong as the Jing Gong Thunder Maul.

This list primarily documents creations Dai-Nihon Giken Poseidon. It is likely that other Seburo weapons not covered by Poiseidon will have their own replicas done by other studios. Some of the following products may no longer be available. Most are not available outside of Japan anyways.

Also: Trident Works. Distributor for custom models? Including Poseidon?

  • Compact eXploder Note: Multiple Japanese (and a few English) sources I read specify the in-universe caliber as the 5.7mm Compact round, based on the 5.7x28mm used on the P90. The weapon was also described by these sources as holding 30 rounds in universe. I am not sure if these originate from an official source from Shirow or somewhere else.
  • Note on the Gundam gun: I could not find a primary source for the image; Wayback Machine shows that they used to have a Gundam gun on their website, but it was apparently later pulled from the website for unknown reasons (maybe a case of screwed by the lawyers?), and the images on the website are not archived on the Wayback Machine. The current image is from a secondary source that I did not verify thoroughly.

Thoughts on Gun Names

Rule 0, or the descriptivism rule: There is no rule on formal gun naming conventions. Any name that most people agree upon is a valid name.

...buuuuuut, wouldn't it be "cleaner" if we use official names for our page titles? Guns adopted by national militaries can be cleanly listed side-by-side under their official designations. M1, M2, M3. Company gun models get to be listed with consistent naming conventions.

But what is an official name? How clean do we want to be?

Considerations:

  • Gun type affixes: e.g. "M249 machine gun", "AK-74M assault rifle", "QSZ-92 pistol". Most IMFDB users prefer to remove these things, because they're an eye sore and redundant with the gun description in the page contents. They tend to be preserved only for disambiguation.
    • ...however, what if a gun type affix is actually a part of an official gun name? Consider Mateogala's statements on Beryl's official Polish name, <Kbs wz. 96 Beryl>. Kbs (karabin szturmowy) is not optional, and Wz. 96 Beryl is actually an incorrect name.
  • Company name prefixes: e.g. "FN FAL", "Colt M1911", "B&T USW-A1". IMFDB users tend to agree to add company name prefixes for gun manufacturers. However, there are multiple issues with this habit:
    • Company name changes: Daewoo renamed itself to S&T Motiv, Brügger & Thomet renamed itself to B&T (did you know who Henry Girard (Bradley Cooper) was based on?), and STI renamed itself to Staccato. Do we rename guns as company names change?
    • Not actually companies: Communist countries had state-owned firearm manufacturers; often times they would take one gun model and manufacture it at several different arms plants. Conventionally we would just omit the company name prefixes in these cases. (But what about post-Communist countries with now-privatized formerly-state-owned firearm manufacturers?)
    • Manufacturer changes: Izhmash is now known as Kalashnikov Concern. I know some people call AKs "Izhmash AKs", so do we rename them as "Kalashnikov Concern AKs"?
    • Branded by exporter, not manufacturer: alright I gotta admit Norinco was an actual gun manufacturer during the Norinco (G) period, so there is still some merit prefixing some gun names with Norinco (my bad!). But still, should we really call Springfield Hellion Springfield Hellion?
    • Multiple manufacturers for one mil-spec weapon: would you call M16s manufactured by FN "FN M16s"? If you don't, would you call Colt-made M16s "Colt M16s"?
  • Designer name prefixes: Dragunov SVD? (literally "Dragunov Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova" / still less egregious than SVD Dragunov lol)
  • Inventing gun names for weird prototypes: Consider the Hellriegel situation. Who named it Standschütze Hellriegel 1915? The only source that named it called it Maschinengewehr des Standschützen Hellriegel. Also things like Tokyo Arsenal SMGs.
  • Translated names
  • Unofficial/Undesignated variants
  • Convoluted military designations
    • Simplification of military designations. Is it MP 18,I or MP 18?
  • Old guns might get nationality prefixes
