Sword Art Online II

In December 2025, months after the end of the events of Sword Art Online (Season 1), and Kazuto Kirigaya (Username: Kirito) is living peacefully back in the real world. However, he is recruited by Seijirou Kikuoka of the Ministry of Internal Affairs' Virtual Division to investigate in a series of killings in the Virtual Reality MMORPG game Gun Gale Online. A player calling himself "Death Gun" is suspected of causing the deaths of two GGO players via shooting their avatars in the game, somehow coincidentally causing their real bodies to suffer an acute heart attack.
Gun Gale Online is a sci-fi, gun-based VRMMORPG set on a post-apocalyptic Earth, featuring both real firearms as well as sci-fi blaster-style weapons called optical guns which fire light-based ammo; the former are intended for Player vs. Player combat, while the latter are generally for hunting NPC monsters. The main event in the story is a PvP battle royale style tournament called the Bullet of Bullets. As the story is set in a video game, all of the guns in the show appear in that context, with the exception two; one of those two is an airsoft replica.
Sword Art Online as a series has multiple story arcs and settings within the first two seasons. Sword Art Online features the Aincrad and Fairy Dance story arcs, and Extra Edition bonus episode, while Sword Art Online II features the Phantom Bullet, Calibur, and Mother's Rosario story arcs. As Phantom Bullet is the only of these story arcs to feature firearms, it's the only part of the first two seasons covered on this site. The second season is followed by a movie, Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale.

__TOC__
=Pistols=
==Norinco Type 54==
The player calling himself "Death Gun" uses a Norinco Type 54 "Black Star" to supposedly murder players in Gun Gale Online. In the real world, a Type 54 was also used by a bank robber who was disarmed and killed with his own gun by Shino Asada (Username: Sinon) five years before the main story.
==FN Five-seveN==
After purchasing his Kagemitsu G4 photon sword, Kirito acquires an FN Five-seveN as his sidearm, per Sinon's recommendation. Sinon's HUD symbol for her sidearm, which is a Glock 18C, is occasionally misrepresented as a Five-seveN.
==Glock 18C==
Sinon uses a Glock 18C fitted with a 33-round magazine as her secondary weapon; in the original novels it was instead a Heckler & Koch MP7. Despite being in Sinon's holster for most of the story, it's easily the least-used weapon belonging to a main character.
==Colt M1911A1==
A sign for the Untouchable! mini-game in Gun Gale Online has an M1911A1 on it. In the real world, Endou, a school bully, later tries to use an airsoft M1911A1 borrowed from her brother to extort money from Shino.
==Beretta 92FS==
A player is seen firing a Beretta 92FS at the weapon market's firing range. The player's appearance, outfit, (lack of) expression, and choice of weapon all seem like a rather subtle reference to something else.
==Unknown Pistol==
Ginrou is seen dual-wielding a pair of unknown pistols in the Gun Gale Online introductory sequence.
=Revolvers=
==Colt Python==
A Colt Python was the first weapon used by Sinon in GGO.
==Smith & Wesson Model 3==
The mascot for the Untouchable! mini-game wields a Smith & Wesson Model 3 Schofield as his weapon. The mini-game requires the player to run up a narrow passage dodging the mascot's fire and successfully reach him. As a side note, the mascot speaks very good English, mostly consisting of taunts.
==Colt 1873==
A player competing in the Bullet of Bullets preliminaries is seen with a pair of Colt 1873s, better known as the Single Action Army. Also, during Sinon's explanation of the BoB tournament, players are seen in a Western face-off drawing Single Action Armys.
=Submachine Guns=
==Calico M900==
A Calico M900 in the long barreled, semi automatic carbine configuration without the M951 style foregrip is wielded by Yamikaze, previously the second-highest rated, and now highest-rated player in the Japanese GGO server. Sinon refers the Calico as an "ultra-lightweight machinegun, the Calico M900A". Despite M900A not being an official designation, given that the gun is a full-auto conversion of the civilian M900 model, it's the most appropriate designation given the rest of the Calico family's naming scheme.
==Heckler & Koch UMP40==
Ginrou, a member of Dyne's squad, uses a H&K UMP40 fitted with a foregrip as his main weapon, denoted by its straight magazine and 30-round capacity.
==IMI Uzi==
Jin, a member of Dyne's squad, wields an Uzi as his main weapon.
==CZ Vz. 61 Škorpion==
A player is armed with a Vz. 61 Škorpion in the GGO introduction sequence, while BoB participant Keith uses one during the tournament.
==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
A player participating in the Bullet of Bullets tournament is seen using a H&K MP5A2, while another in the BoB waiting room is seen with an MP5 as well.
==MAC M-10==
A player in the BoB tournament is seen using a MAC M-10 as his main weapon. One of the players that attempts to ambush Yamikaze during Sinon's explanation of his skill level was armed with an M-10 with the stock removed.
==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
A player with a H&K MP5K can be seen the first moment Kirito enters Gun Gale Online.
==Heckler & Koch MP5SD3==
A number of players are seen with MP5SDs with collapsible stocks in the BoB waiting room.
==Heckler & Koch MP7A1==
A player in a chatroom has an avatar with a H&K MP7A1 on it.
==Unknown SMG==
A player participating in the Bullet of Bullets preliminary matches is seen with an SMG of some sort slung over his shoulder, likely WWII-era or earlier.
=Assault Rifles=
==SIG SG 550==
Dyne wields a SIG SG 550 as his main weapon, said to be a rare and good weapon in GGO.
==M4A1 Carbine==
An M4A1 is used by Arashi, a member of Dyne's squad, as his main weapon; in the novels he is referred to as "the one with the M4". Arashi's M4A1 is fitted with a number of aftermarket parts, including its stock, rail system, and gas block, along with a SureFire foregrip/light combo and a red dot scope. One of the players who attempts to ambush Yamikaze is armed with an M4A1 fitted with an EOTech holosight and foregrip.
==Norinco Model 311==
BoB participant Kakouton attacks Kirito and Sinon with a Norinco Model 311; he reloads it with a Beta-C drum magazine when it runs empty.
==Howa Type 89==
Although Kyouji Shinkawa is never actually seen with his own main weapon in the show itself, he is seen with a Howa Type 89 on the bluray box cover art. In the novels, Kirito describes him as carrying a "somewhat large machine gun" slung over his shoulder; given Kirito's (lack of) expertise with firearms, this is an appropriate description for a full-size assault rifle like the Type 89.

==FN F2000==
XeXeeD is seen with an FN F2000 paired with the GL1 underbarrel grenade launcher and standard optical sight, said to be a rare and very good weapon in GGO. Sinon mentions that Yamikaze may be a more skilled player than XeXeeD, but the latter's F2000 and rare armour gave him the edge needed to win the previous BoB.
==FAMAS G2==
Player Usujio Tarako used a FAMAS G2 as his main weapon.
==Mk. 18 Mod 0==
A Mk. 18 Mod 0 with tan furniture is seen held by Usujio Tarako during GGO the introductory sequence.
==Steyr AUG A1==
A player is seen firing a Steyr AUG A1 at the gun market's firing range. The AUG will appear again in Sword Art Online, once the inevitable Season 3 (or more likely Season 4) is animated.
==Bushmaster ACR==
A player is seen wielding a Bushmaster ACR in the market's firing range.
==Heckler & Koch G36==
A H&K G36 with the built-in 3x scope carry handle is seen when Kirito first enters GGO. The specific variant is unknown as the front end isn't seen.
==FN SCAR==
A BoB player killed by "Death Gun" was using a SCAR rifle, caliber unknown due to the angle. These players were killed by "Death Gun"'s L115A3, not the Type 54 that supposedly murders people in the real world; they're simply "dead" in a traditional video game sense.
==AK-74==
A number of players watching the BoB tournament are seen with AK-74s.
=Battle Rifles=
==Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16==
A Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16 used by Miso as his main weapon, correctly depicted as semi-auto only.
==Heckler & Koch G3A3==
Uemaru wields a H&K G3A3 as his main weapon in the BoB preliminaries.
==Mk 14. Mod 0==
Musketeer X, a BoB competitor, wields a scoped Mk 14. Mod 0 as her primary weapon. Kirito later picks it up and uses it to provide cover fire for a downed Sinon.
=Machine Guns=
==M134 Minigun==
The hired bodyguard Behemoth wields a hand-held M134 Minigun to counter Dyne's PvP squad.

==FN Minimi==
An enemy squad that Dyne's squad engages has a player armed with a FN Minimi to defend against enemy players, as the rest of their squad is armed with optical guns for fighting monsters. Its firepower is a plot point and the gun is called by name frequently.
==Vickers Machine Gun==
Lion King Richie takes up a defensive position on a mountain with a Vickers machine gun during the BoB tournament.
==Browning Automatic Rifle==
A player is seen with a Browning Automatic Rifle in the Bullet of Bullets qualifier room.
==M60E4==
A player is seen with a M60E4 in the Bullet of Bullets qualifier room.
==Browning M1919==
BoB tournament competitor Shishigane appears to be wielding a Browning M1919. The novels state he uses only a Jatimatic SMG (to save weight for other equipment, such as armor), however this weapon is clearly not that.
=Shotguns=
==Armalite AR-17==
The agility-focused Pale Rider uses an Armalite AR-17 as his only weapon in the BoB tournament. Weighing in at a mere 5.5 pounds due to its almost entirely aluminum design, this shotgun is an excellent (and stylish) choice for Pale Rider's aggressive, agile playstyle. The weapon's 2-round capacity is depicted correctly, as is the bolt locking open when empty.
==Remington Model 870==
A player is seen racking a Remington Model 870 in the Bullet of Bullets qualifier room.
==Over And Under Shotgun==
A player in the BoB waiting room has an over and under shotgun slung over his shoulder.
=Sniper Rifles=
==PGM Hécate II==
Sinon uses a PGM Hécate II as her main weapon. Shino treats her Hécate as an extension of herself and calls it by name often; it is an inseparable part of her Sinon persona.
==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum==
"Death Gun"'s rifle is a suppressed Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum. According to Sinon, it's nicknamed the "Silent Assassin" in-game for its attached suppressor and very good performance. In the novels it's expressly and repeatedly referred to by its British military designation of L115A3. "Death Gun" uses this rifle to pick off opposing players that he's not trying to kill in a real world murder sense; it's only his Type 54 that's treated as having this ability. The extra rod running underneath the barrel is actually his melee weapon, an estoc; the handle is under the suppressor, while the pointy end is plugged into the usual bipod attachment slot.
==MAS FR F2==
The MAS FR F2 makes its anime debut as Sinon's main sniper rifle before she acquired her Hécate II. She's seen using the FR F2 about three months before the main story to defeat a large boss monster all by herself after accidentally running into it. Luckily for her, she could sit out if its effective range and simply snipe it to death, netting her the Hécate II as a reward.
==Unknown Rifle==
A modern scoped rifle is seen held by an entrant in the BoB tournament.
=Grenades=
==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
A "modernized" Model 24 Stielhandgranate is used by Keith in the BoB tournament, in an attempt to take out Lion King Richie.
thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate
==M18 smoke grenade==
Kirito uses a M18 smoke grenade borrowed from Musketeer X to cover his and Sinon's escape from "Death Gun". Though, "borrowing" a grenade, which is how Kirito put it, seems a bit like "borrowing" food...
==Plasma Grenade==
A futuristic high-explosive grenade is used by Sinon to end the Bullet of Bullets tournament.
=Weapon Market=
The weapon shop in GGO shows only silhouettes and images of the weapons available for purchase, with a weapon materializing upon being purchased by a player. As such, there is a large quantity of firearms that only appear in image form, and these are grouped here for the sake of not flooding the rest of the page with duplicate images and single-image entries.
Weapons shown in the market are grouped by weapon type, with pistols, SMGs/PDWs, assault rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, rocket launchers, and hand grenades being shown.

SMG/PDWs: H&K XM8 Compact Carbine, H&K MP5A3, H&K MP5N with tactical light forend and reflex sight, KRISS Vector. Assault Rifles: Colt R0635 (likely because AR-based), AK-47 with scope rail mount, H&K G36C, Colt M4A1 with Aimpoint sight. Shotguns: Maruzen CA870 CQB, two unknown shotguns, Benelli M4.
