10!!Funco/FNC

14-->“I can't help it, I have a skeleton stock!!”
15
16->Voiced by: Creator/IoriNomizu (Japanese), Creator/GenevieveSimmons (English)
17
18Based on the Belgian FN FNC. Very energetic, but a bit dumb.
19----
20* BerserkButton: Sensei repeatedly talking about her thong.
21* CombatPragmatist: She will often do things that seem unconventional, such as shooting through a fountain, or skipping bullets off water to hit someone not directly in her LOS.
22* EmbarrassingNickname: Doesn't like her nickname of "Funco" because she thinks it sounds weird. Strangely, the nearly-identical "Fukko" from Sixteen is perfectly fine to her (probably because they're best friends)
23* EvenTheGirlsWantHer Sako, Sig and Aug are [[IncrediblyLamePun all gunning]] for her.
24%%* GenkiGirl
25* HotForTeacher: Has a long-running crush on Sensei/Genkoku.
26* MsExposition: She is usually the one who tells Japanese Teacher, and by extension the audience, how the universe works.
27* RedEyesTakeWarning: Has red eyes. In a bit of a subversion, is generally a nice girl.
28
29!!Ichiroku/16

34
35->Voiced by: Creator/MisuzuTogashi (Japanese), Creator/BrittneyKarbowski (English)
36
37Funco's best friend. Kind, but has a rough personality and a foul mouth. Based on the American [=M16A4=].
38----
39* BathingBeauty: She likes to keep herself clean, to the point that, even after a day where the other three spent all day picking up trash (while Sixteen was absent), she ''still'' spent more time cleaning herself than anyone else. This references the tendency of the M16 to act up unless kept near-perfectly clean.
40* BerserkButton: Lame puns, specifically Ichiyon's.
41* CombatPragmatist: Keeps her barrel wrapped in a plastic bag when she needs to run through mud, and when her action gets mucked up, she works the forward assist by fanning it (cribbing a technique used for rapid-firing a single-action revolver).
42* GenreSavvy: She does as well as she does because she is very aware of her own shortcomings, and works to overcome or mitigate them.
43* HappilyAdopted: She was adopted into Ichiyon/14's family (Ichiyon was produced by Springfield, while Ichiroku was developed by Armalite then produced by Colt). Funco states that the clearest way to describe it in human terms is to say they're stepsisters.
44* {{Hypocrite}}: She spent two episodes berating Eru for her performance and breakdowns, even though the M16 had comparable problems during the Vietnam War.
45* TheIdiotFromOsaka: Although from the Kansai region, she speaks with an Osakan accent and has many of the associated mannerisms, such as being cheerful, stubborn, competitive, foul-mouthed and gluttonous. Also she's not exactly smart either.
46* TheIllegible: Her writing is bad enough that when she writes "Funco" (フンコ) in her diary she reads it as "Fucco" (フッコ).
47** Funco, not knowing about the diary, mistakes this for Ichiroku doing her a favor by not using [[EmbarrassingNickname the nickname that she hates]]. Ichiroku lets her keep believing that.
48* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's somewhat foul-mouthed and unpleasant but she also cares.
49* PhenotypeStereotype: Combined with a Kansai accent and its [[TheIdiotFromOsaka associated mannerisms]], she's pretty much designed to be how Japan interprets Americans as.
50* {{Shorttank}}
51
52!!Eru/L

74

78----
79* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: She's clingy to FNC because she's the first person to ''ever'' be friendly to her at the school.
80%%* BigDamnHeroes: Often.
81* ClingyJealousGirl: While not too clingy, she shows some signs of the jealous part for Funco when Ichiroku finishes "cleaning" her in Episode 3 [[spoiler:and when she watches Sako kissing her in Episode 6.]]
82** Comes out full force when FNC starts to befriend Mimi.
83* CombatPragmatist: Doesn't mind using G3's special position, even if it's really embarassing.
84* FriendlySniper: Nice to her friends, and finds amusement and enjoyment in her sniper duel with [=G3=].

92
9316's cousin and Funco's roommate. Based on the [=AR-18=].
94----
95* ButNotTooForeign: She is part American and part Japanese. This references the fact that she was designed by [=ArmaLite=] and one of her manufacturers is HOWA Machinery Co.
96* OnlySaneMan: Compared to her four friends, Ichihachi is less goofy and a ''lot'' more down-to-earth. She also seems to spot details that Funco or Ichiroku might brush off -- like G3 coming to school in her sister's place.
97
98!!Sako/RK 95 TP
99[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_SakoManga_351.png]]

104----
105%%* AxCrazy
106* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Ichiroku and Sig from the pincer attack in episode 10. She doesn't do this in the manga.
107%%* BloodKnight
108* CloseCallHaircut: [[spoiler:Sig]] returns the favor by shooting off Sako's side braid.
109%%* ColdSniper
110* CombatPragmatist: She uses any opportunity to cheat during the jungle wargame arc, including blinding Funco with a fragmented round glanced off the tree she was taking cover behind, and having allies in a watchtower obviously pointing out where the other team's members are for her.
111* CombatSadomasochist: In the animated jungle wargames tournament, she actually feels herself up during the fight against Funco's team. She pretty much gets off on shooting Funco after she's already won the match.
112** SexIsViolence: Gets turned on after watching Funco shoot Galil.
113%%* {{Jerkass}}
114* KickThemWhileTheyAreDown: After pinning down Funco, Sako repeatedly shoots her even after she won.
115* KnightOfCerebus: Her blood chillingly sadistic torture of Funco and attempted murder of Sig via sniper rifle coldly reminds the audience that ''Upotte'' is about weapons fighting battles, and in battles people die...
116* MasturbationMeansSexualFrustration: She gets ''far'' too [[SexIsViolence turned on by the heat of battle]] in episode 5 and fondles her magic spot out of pleasure behind a tree. Moments later, she masturbates, with the stuff visibly dripping off her hand -- er, if anthropomorphized assault rifles actually can do that sort of thing.
117* PointyEars: Owing to being an AK-pattern rifle that isn't directly derived from the AK.
118%%* PsychoLesbian
119* PutOnABus: In the manga, however...
120** TheBusCameBack: ... she's back for the end of the Atami shootout in the anime, taking over Galil's role.
121%%* RedEyesTakeWarning
122%%* TriggerHappy
123* VillainousCrush: Falls for Funco
124** InLoveWithYourCarnage: Watching Funco take down Galil really turned her on.

130
131Sako's partner and a fellow transferee. Like her, Galil plans on defeating the best students of Seisho Academy in the jungle wargames tournament. She stays in Seishou after the wargames end. Is a little slow. Based on the Israeli Galil AR.
132----
133* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Part of the reason why she sticks to Ichihachi after the jungle wargame. Well, that, and Ichihachi ''did'' fish her out of the lake.
134%%* CuteLittleFangs
135* LittleBitBeastly: Has the animal-ears and tail, like the AK series characters.
136** [[CatGirl Dog Girl]]:... but is actually a dog.

138
139!!Tei/T

142->Voiced by: Creator/YukaIguchi (Japanese), Creator/TiffanyGrant (English)
143
144Friend and partner of Aug. Like her friend, she is a member of the middle-school student council, and serves as the Treasurer. Based on the Taiwanese[[note]]Republic of China's[[/note]] T91.
145----
146* GirlishPigtails: She's a middle-schooler that has six pigtails. Ichiroku calls her "fountain" because of it.
147* GoingCommando: Stocks are generally supposed to be a representation of the girls' panties, so when Sixteen shoots off her stock in the wargames...
148%%* ChineseGirl:
149* VerbalTic: Ends her sentences with "~ne."
150
151!!Aug
152[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_AugManga_1950.png]]

157----
158* CompressedHair: Despite what may make more sense, her short-haired look is a wig, and her real hair underneath that is long.
159* HairTriggerTemper: Pun not intended, but while in her long-haired mode Aug gets angry ''very'' easily, to the point where she picks a fight with Miss Thompson over a relatively trivial matter.
160* MultiformBalance: Can switch between a short barrel or a long barrel, which is represented by her wearing a short-haired wig (short barrel) or letting her natural long hair out (long barrel).
161* SplitPersonalityMakeover: She could be short haired shy girl or long haired boisterous girl. This references the fact that she can change barrels depending on the situation.
162* StudentCouncilPresident: As revealed in Upotte Nano.
163
164!!Benelli
165[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_Benelli_1769.png]]

171!!EMFOUR/M4
172
173The student council vice prez, and one of M16's sisters based on the American Colt [=M4A1=] carbine.
174----
175* FullNameBasis: She prefers to go by her full name "[=M4A1=]" probably since there are other weapons and things also named "M4". It really triggers her if she is only called "M4".
176----
177!!Mimi/33
178[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_MimiManga_8011.png]]

180->Voiced by: Creator/ChinatsuAkasaki (Japanese)
181
182One of G3's two little sisters who are in the middle school-level, and the one who looks like her the most. Based on the [=HK33E=].
183----
184* AlphaBitch: She's incredibly snooty and likes to brag about her reliability as a gun.
185* ApologisesALot: Only when she's getting scolded by the teachers. Also comes with excessive bowing, sometimes going all the way down to her feet.
186* BerserkButton: Absolutely hates nicknames given to her such as "Chuusuri" or "Mimi".
187* InSeriesNickname: Mid-33/Chuusuri and Mimi.
188* StrongFamilyResemblance: To [=G3=]. To the point where they can (mostly) stand in for each other. She's half a head shorter, and has a different "magazine" size than her sister though.
189* TomboyishPonytail: To differentiate her from the rest of her sisters.
190* {{Tsundere}}: Unintentionally labeled as this, due to switching out with her elder sister G3 for a day.
191

207
208->Voiced by: Mina (Japanese), Shondra Marie (English)

211----
212* AwesomenessByAnalysis: During the battle against the Italian guns [[note]][=AR70/90=], SPAS-12, Benelli M4, [=BM59=][[/note]], FAL notices that [[spoiler: the [=AR70/90=] in the battle is a decoy (actually [=AR70=]) just by looking at the change of material on her watch.]]
213* CoolBigSis
214* OneeSama
215* StudentCouncilPresident: For the High School-level.
216
217!!Ichiyon/14

221
222->Voiced by Saeko Zogo (Japanese), Creator/KaraGreenberg (English)
223
224Ichiroku's older sister, and FAL's roommate at the high school dormitory. Beautiful, but crude and rowdy. Also likes making bad puns. She's based on the American M14.
225----
226* BerserkButton: Ichiroku insulting her puns.
227* TheDitz
228* TheDreaded[=/=]OhCrap: Her nickname, "G Cutie", is a comedic version of the former and invokes the latter: The G stands for [[spoiler:[[LamePunReaction God not again]].]]
229* HotBlooded: Quite so.
230* ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: When firing her M14 on full auto. Possibly in reference to the early, full-auto capable versions of the M14, which were impossible to control in that mode - according to 16, her spread is about 10 ''meters''. The uselessness of this feature resulted in the full auto trigger group being locked on semi-auto or removed entirely from almost all M14-style rifles made since.
231* InSeriesNickname: G Cutie. (The "G" stands for [[spoiler:"God, not again."]])
232* IncrediblyLamePun: Much to everyone's annoyance, Ichiyon ''loves'' dishing these out.
233
234!!Jiisuri/G3
235[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_G3A3manga_8302.png]]

245* FriendlySniper
246* HimeCut
247* OneeSama: To the rest of the HK sisters in the middle and elementary schools.
248* ProperTightsWithASkirt: A representation of the rifle's all-black fixed polymer stock.
249* StrongFamilyResemblance: All of her sisters strongly resemble her; in reality, nearly all of Heckler & Koch's product lines in the Cold War were derived from the G3.
250
251!!AR-10
252One of G3, M14, and FAL's classmates. Obviously based on the American AR-10, which means that she's related to Ichihachi, at least on her non-Japanese side. Featured in ''Upotte Nano''.
253----
254
255!!LF-59
256AR-10's friend, and yet another of G3, M14, and FAL's classmates. Based on the Italian Franchi LF-59, which is derived from the FN-FAL. She takes over for G3 during the Enoshima trip when the former is forced to attend remedial classes. Featured in ''Upotte Nano'', as well as the main manga.
257----
258
259[[/folder]]

267->Voiced by: Chika Horikawa (Japanese), Brittany Djie (English)
268
269One of G3's little sisters. Based on the [=MP5A2=]. Can be seen as the viewpoint character for the elementary school portions of ''Upotte Nano''.
270----
271* AccidentalMisnaming: Funco and the other middle schoolers call her "wee-3"[[note]]"chii-3" in the original Japanese (a mix of chiisai and 3)[[/note]] due to looking like her older sister G3.
272* CavalierCompetitor: Doesn't really care for the position of "leader" that Uzi think she holds, and is perfectly willing to give it up, but Uzi keeps on pushing the issue.
273* IdiotHair
274* StrongFamilyResemblance: Looks like a younger version of [=G3=] - because the [=MP5=] is essentially a [=G3=] in submachinegun size, chambered for 9mm. Taken further in that her younger sisters, [=MP5K=] and [=MP5SD=], could pass for being triplets with her.
275
276!!Emten/M10
277->Voiced by: Creator/AyumiFujimura (Japanese), Creator/AllisonSumrall (English)
278
279Based on the American MAC-10.
280----
281* GirlishPigtails
282* HiddenBuxom: She's apparently quite stacked. Reflects how the real-life M10 is top-heavy and tiring to handle for long.
283* MotorMouth: A reference to her ridiculously high firing rate of ''[[MoreDakka 1090 rounds per minute.]]''
284* TheQuietOne: ...However she turns into this when she runs out of bullets.
285%%* YouthfulFreckles
286
287!!Reta
288
289One of Empi's friends. Based on the Italian Beretta M125.
290----
291%%* YouthfulFreckles
292
293!!Cobra
294
295Yet another of Empi's classmates. Based on the Finnish Jatimatic.
296----
297* BeautifulAllAlong: Much to the shock of everyone.
298* CoolShades: Is almost never seen without her sunglasses. Apparently she only takes them off when she's bathing.
299* GirlishPigtails
300* GoingCommando: Implied by TMP.
301* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: ''No one'' ever calls her by her real name, and instead they just name her after the [[Film/{{Cobra}} movie]] that made the gun famous.
302
303!!Uzi
304
305One of Empi's classmates, who wants to be the "leader" of the elementary schoolers. As she thinks that Empi is the leader, she keeps on challenging her in order to take her place. Obviously based on the first model in the Israeli line of Uzi submachineguns.
306----
307* CanineCompanion: After Chapter 4 in ''Upotte Nano'', she got herself a wolf companion that she can ride.
308* TheRival: To Empi, or at least [[UnknownRival she thinks she is]].

310!!Gosan/53
311[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_53Manga_6555.png]]

313
314Another of G3's younger sisters. Despite being an elementary-schooler, she has the same height and figure as a middle-schooler. Based on the German [=HK53=].
315----
316* HugeSchoolgirl: She is as tall as a middle school student; it is something that embarrasses her. It is a reference to her firing assault rifle rounds instead of pistol rounds like other [=SMGs=].
317* StrongFamilyResemblance: To [=G3=], [=MP5=] and [=HK33E=]. However, she wears the standard Atami uniform and not the uniform worn by her sisters because the particular variant of the [=HK53=] that she's based on, the A3 variant, uses a retractable stock, unlike the solid fixed stock on the other G3 derivatives.
318
319!!Tampi/TMP
320
321Aug's younger sister, and the "boss" of the grade school dorm (much to Uzi's chagrin). Blunt and more than a little too sure about herself and her sister.
322----
323%%* TheAce
324%%* BrutalHonesty
325* GoingCommando: Apparently lacking a stock causes this.
326%%* {{Pride}}
327
328[[/folder]]
329
330[[folder:Faculty]]
331The faculty of the school.
332!!"Sensei/Genkoku"

334[[quoteright:250:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/Upotte_Genkoku_5622.png]]
335->Voiced by: Creator/TakayukiKondo (Japanese), Creator/DavidMatranga (English)
336
337A human middle school teacher who teaches modern literature. Despite specializing in Japanese literature, he's apparently not Japanese himself ([[spoiler: He's American]]).
338----
339* DrivingQuestion: What is his name and nationality?

454An assault rifle who met up with the friends on their trip to Enoshima. While being a gun personification like Funco and her friends, the school that she goes to is a normal public school, meaning that it's attended by human students. She seems to have a history with Funco, which makes things awkward when around her. She obviously is based on the Italian Beretta [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beretta_AR70/90 AR70/90]].
