One of the typical "magical girl" anime characteristics that Madoka Magica stands out from is weaponry. While most such series feature weapons such as magical staffs and rods (when they show weapons at all), all heavily magic-related weaponry in Madoka is far more mundane, with the main characters using weapons such as [[Madoka|bows]], [[Sayaka|swords]] and [[Kyoko|spears]]. | One of the typical "magical girl" anime characteristics that Madoka Magica stands out from is weaponry.

|<center>Remington Model 870 (presumed)</center> | |||
|<center>A popular pump-action shotgun. Introduced in 1955 as a modern, streamlined, rugged, reliable, and relatively inexpensive shotgun, it has sold over ten million pieces by 2009, making it the best-selling shotgun in history. Its popularity is proven by its use in military and law enforcement in a dozen countries.</center> | |||

|<center>Wheels of Fate</center> | |||

|- | |||
| | |||
|<center>Desert Eagle Mark XIX</center> | |||
|<center>A very large caliber handgun, chambered for .50AE. It is very powerful, on par with most magnum revolvers, but possesses little value on the battlefield: it is very unwieldy, being exceedingly large and heavy, and its magazine hold only seven rounds, due to their large size. Furthermore, it produces a monstrous recoil, making it very difficult to control. Used to deter the Wheels of Fate from Madoka, later to destroy her Soul Gem and presumably against [[Roberta]].</center> | |||
|- | |||
| | |||
|<center>FN Minimi</center> | |||
|<center>A Belgian 5.56mm light machine gun developed by the venerable manufacturer FN Herstal. Best known by the designation for its American variety, the M249 light machine gun (previously known as Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW)), it is in widespread use across the western world, and has been present in nearly every conflict since its inception. It provides infantry squads with the heavy volume of fire of a machine gun combined with accuracy and portability approaching that of a rifle, while also useful as a mounted weapon both in structures and in vehicles. Homura's particular weapon appears to be a paratrooper version with a 200 round drum. Used against Roberta and presumably Walpurgisnacht.</center> | |||
|- | |||
| | |||
|<center>M26 grenade</center> | |||
|<center>A post-WW2 American fragmentation grenade, affectionately known as the "lemon grenade", due to its shape. The one used by Homura against Roberta appears to be a high explosive (HE) version, due to its large blast. </center> | |||

Latest revision as of 21:14, 9 June 2023
One of the typical "magical girl" anime characteristics that Madoka Magica stands out from is weaponry. While most such series feature weapons such as magical staffs and rods (when they show weapons at all), all heavily magic-related weaponry in Madoka is far more mundane, with the main characters using weapons such as bows, swords and spears.
Homura Akemi is particularly notable for using real-life firearms and explosives to great effect, lacking weapons of her own.

With it, Homura is pinpoint accurate: she connected exactly fifteen shots, a standard full magazine of the 92 series. As the 92FS was adopted by the US military as the M9 pistol, it led to speculation that it might have been stolen from a US base in Japan. |
