You have to remember the AR-15 type platforms are made by quite a few companies including a few foreign licensed versions. There is even a Chinese knock off version.

While conducting my research on AR platforms, I about split my sides when I came across the DPMS MOE Warrior. I think anime has ruined my ability to take "Magpul Original Equipment" seriously. tongue

The AR-15 isn't a very moeish gun.

[up] No but the MOE AR's are invariably sold as the shorter carbines, which given moe's association with child(ish) characters, was too much of a coincidence for me to ignore.

Aren't there several bullpup versions available as well? On the subject of AR-series rifles, there's a somewhat infamous yet influential version — the AR-18, the "widowmaker" of The Troubles in Northern Ireland.

[up]The only bullpup AR-15 variant I've heard of is the Iranian KH2002, which is a bullpup version of a license-produced Norinco unlicensed copy of the M-16.

She is the gun.

It's that kind of series.

And if we're honest, she's not the really moe one. (MILD NSFW: UPSKIRT)

That's nothing. I just found this while looking up the IMFDB page on this anime.

Those can't be accurate moe representations of the M16 and the L85. They're not falling apart and generally being literally the most incompetent things ever.

Hell it's not even the L85A2

And the M16A4 is something of a Neat Freak. And can't handle spicy foods as an analogue to how finnicky the AR-15 family is about powder loads.

:P

There was a neat kludgish weapon I found the other day I need to find it again. It was some weird experimental gun I can't remember the details and it is driving me nuts.

... It's just a bikini or underwear shot of one of those anthromorphized girls (a busty blonde one) on the cover of a magazine on the floor of an an empty room. Nothing pornographic.

Yeah to be honest I never got the whole cutesy moe schoolgirl alongside the meticulously detail battle rifle thing.

Like it just kinda clashes the wrong way.

Heh, Mrs. Thompson pinup art.

I wish the anime had kept the bit from the Manga where when Mrs. Thompson discovered that someone was gunning for her students, she switched from her 1940's US military getup to a 1930's gun-toting Mafia doll.

[up]Girls Und Panzer Abridged made a joke that nicely explained it: Their target demographic happens to be the intersection between horndog perverts and gun nuts (in the case of Girls Und Panzer Abridged, it was history nerds and dirty old men, IIRC)

Which, of course, doesn't account for Periphery Demographics that fit neither category.

Girls Und Panzer was surprisingly mild compared to more then a few anime works. Certainly liked to push its luck though.

There is only one solution for that gun anime though.
