Оружия

**Оружия** (武器, ***Оружия***) in *Blue Archive* are variety of weapons, ranging from small arms to heavier equipment that assists the students during their missions by helping them gain combat advantages effectively.

## Основная информация

**Firearms operate like their real life counterparts.** The only difference between the real world and Kivotos is the ease of access to firearms. The given reason remains unknown.

All high school students are able to get access to firearms and to roam freely with weaponry openly visible; ammunition is also readily available and can be purchased from just about anywhere. While such depictions if applied in real life, would be highly illegal in every country in the world; we have to remember the world Sensei is located in is situated in an active conflict zone.

## Инструкция по калибрам

**Before you take a look at the lists of the students,** it's important to understand the different calibers:

### Notations and differences in units

**Metric Notation:** Ammunition types all have a detailed metric notation in which the first number indicates the diameter of the bullet, and the second number indicates the length of the cartridge. Below is a list with an explanation of how it works (keep in mind not all ammunition are exactly as measured, there might be slight deviation in dimension):

* 5.56x45mm (5.56mm is the bullet diameter, with the cartridge length being 45mm long).
* 9x19mm ( A 9mm diameter bullet with a 19mm long cartridge). Файл:Caliber guide.png

**Imperial Indicates:** Imperial indication usually display only the diameter of the bullet and rarely has the length, because there are quite a few amounts of ammo that have the same diameter, there have been unique names developed for them:

* .223 Remington (Civilian type of 5.56x45mm, less gas pressure, .223 inches = 5.56mm. Both rounds are identical in dimension but may not be fired interchangably between rifles due to difference in gas pressure).
* .308 Winchester (7.62x51mm imperial designation. .308 inches is technically not exactly 7.62mm but it has been a good way to differ the specific cartridge from other .30 caliber ammunitions).

### Abbreviations Index:

* **NATO:** North Atlantic Treaty Organization. Cartridges with this suffix have been designated by NATO as the standard ammunition for all general purpose uses under the NATO **STAN**dardization **AG**reement (STANAG).
* **ACP:** Automatic Colt Pistol, designated by Colt Manufacturing as their pistol calibers, more commonly available in .32 and .45 calibers.
* **S&W**: Smith & Wesson, designated by the gun manufacturer themselves.
* **AE**: Action Express, best known cartridge of the iconic Desert Eagle.
* **SIG:** SIG Sauer, consists of several sister companies, most notably SIG Sauer GmbH & Co. KG In Germany, SIG Sauer, Inc. in the United States of America and SIG Sauer AG in Switzerland, designated by the gun manufacturer themselves.
* **R:** Rimmed cartridge, cartridges with a flange at the end of it that has a slight greater diameter than the cartridge itself, R does *NOT* mean Russian.
* **AAC**: Advanced Armament Corporations, designed by the gun manufacturer themselves. Usually seen on .300 AAC Blackout.
* **HK/H&K**: Heckler & Koch, German gun manufacturing company, designated by the gun manufacturers themselves.
* **+P+**: Overpressure rounds, Russian developed rounds designed for maximum penetration.

## Список категорий Оружия

Below is a comprehensive list of firearms and weaponry used by students present in *Blue Archive*. Students who have a variant will not be included in this article as they are using the same firearm as their default appearance.

### Пистолеты

A Handgun is a small, lightweight, highly versatile, and portable firearm that can provide sufficient firepower without overburdening a user either offensively or defensively. The small nature of Handguns meant that they're usually meant as a backup weapon or on a self-defense role for auxiliary units. Handgun rounds are usually small and short ranged meaning they aren't exactly a primary pick for a firefight. This is compounded by the fact that most Handgun mechanisms only allows for semi-automatic operation thus their fire rate is rather limited.

For simplicity sake all revolvers and self loading pistols even the ones that have burst capabilities will define as a Handgun.

In the Blue Archive world most Handgun users are placed in a support role either as a Striker or a Special and rarely plays an offensive role as a DPS unit.  All Striker Handgunners occupy the middle line and would typically fire in single bursts.

Below are some of the handguns used by students in *Blue Archive*:

### Автоматы

The definition for an Assault Rifle is usually a point of contention but the Blue Archive world would define it as any rifle or carbine length firearm with a detachable magazine capable of automatic firing. Assault rifles are usually chambered in reduced-powered intermediate cartridges. However, Battle Rifles (chambered in full powered cartridges) that falls in the same definition as an assault rifle will be labeled as such considered said firearm isnt put in a fire support or a marksman/sniper role (eg. FN SCAR-H). Hare's weapon, the Kel-Tec RFB, will also be considered as an Assault Rifle in this universe despite being a semi-automatic only rifle.

In the Blue Archive universe Assault Rifles is the most common form of weaponry and users of it are usually placed in an offensive DPS role. All Striker Assault Riflewomen occupy the middle line and would usually fire in bursts of three.

### Пулемёты

A Machine Gun is a fully automatic firearm capable of sustained firepower for prolonged bursts. Machine Guns are usually placed in a fire support role such as suppressing enemy positions with a sustained hail of gunfire, or engaging lightly armoured vehicles and low flying aircraft. Most modern Machine Guns are belt-fed meaning their ammunition is only limited with how many rounds are linked together in the same "belt". Early light machine guns were magazine fed although some still exists today in a light support role. Multi-barreled rotary guns would also fall in this category.

In the Blue Archive universe Machine Guns are an alternative means of DPS although they cover more range than a standard assault rifle. Some heavier Machine Guns may need to deploy and pack when firing and moving respectively. Striker Machinegunners occupy the back line and would never seek cover. They would usually fire in bursts of three or seven.

### Дробовики

A Shotgun is a firearm specifically designed to fire "shotshells". Shotshells uses a variety of projectiles for different purposes. These projectiles include numerous lead or steel pellets known as shots, one larger singular shot more commonly known as a slug, magnesium incendiary shots, and sometimes non-lethal low velocity projectiles such as rubber or bean bags. The nature of these shells makes them popular in various close quarter engagements like trenches, jungle, and urban and indoor environments. As such shotguns has found many civilian, law enforcement, and even military purposes and has been around for around 150 years now.

In the Blue Archive universe most Shotgunners have defensive capabilities making them perfect for tanking duties though some still retain some offensive abilities. The buck ammunition they fire mean shotguns may hit more than one unit at a time in a short range. All Striker Shotgunners would occupy the front lines and would never seek cover. They would also usually fire in single or two bursts.

### Пистолеты-пулемёты

Submachine guns are shoulder-fired automatic firearms chambered in pistol rounds. They are usually much more compact than a regular rifle and thus they are often issued to vehicle and artillery crews. The compact size also means they are perfect for close quarters combat where raw firepower overshadows the necessity for a more powerful cartridge. The short ranged nature of pistol cartridges however means that they're virtually useless in long ranged engagements thus they are rarely found in environments where range is paramount.

In the Blue Archive universe submachinegunners have varying roles either offensively, defensively, or support. Defensive submachinegunners would usually carry a ballistic shield off-hand in conjunction with their firearm although there are some exceptions. Offensive submachinegunners are usually in a DPS role but their short-ranged nature means they have to be supported either by other strikers, by special supports, or they have an innate survival ability. Support submachinegunners are usually assigned in a special role. All Striker Submachinegunners occupy the front lines and would typically fire in bursts of three. Some Submachinegunners would not seek cover.

### Снайперские винтовки

Sniper Rifles are firearms that are specialized for accurate, long ranged fire. This meant that most sniper rifles are chambered in full powered rounds and are equipped with high power scopes. Most bolt-action battle rifles would fall under this category provided it is kitted in a marksman role. Large caliber Anti-materiel rifles would also fall into this category.

In the Blue Archive universe Sniper Rifles deals much more damage per shot than any firearm only offsetting its low rate of fire and limited ammunition capacity. Rarely a Sniper Rifle is found in a support role although they certainly exist. All Striker Snipers occupy the back line and would fire in single burst.

### Гранатомёты

Grenade Launchers are firearms specifically designed to fire grenade projectiles. These grenade munitions will come in many forms with different purposes due to the large projectile size much like a shotgun. Though unlike shotguns grenade munitions are strictly relegated in a military or law enforcement purpose only. Grenade Launchers are an easy way to increase the firepower capability of a rifle squad giving them access to long range explosives in the absence of mortar, artillery, or armoured support.

In the Blue Archive universe Grenade Launchers deals a very small splash damage when attacking. They will also need to re-aim when switching targets. Grenadiers are found either in an AoE DPS role or a support role. All Grenadiers would occupy the middle line and would only fire in single bursts.

Below are some of the grenade launchers used by students in *Blue Archive*:

### Ракетомёты

A rocket launcher is a device that launches an unguided, rocket-propelled projectile, although the term is often used in reference to mechanisms that are portable and capable of firing actual rockets. Designed to disable or destroy armored vehicles, tanks or aircraft. Although can be used against enemy infantry, it's effectiveness varies.

### Рейлганы

A Railgun is a linear motor device, typically designed as a weapon, that uses electromagnetic force to launch projectiles at high velocities. The projectile normally does not contain explosives, instead relying on the projectile's high speed, mass and kinetic energy to inflict damage.

A fictional weapon that is yet to be fully deployed. Currently, Alice is the only student who carries one (and it behaves like a plasma railgun). As a backline weapon, the wielder cannot hide in cover, however each shot always overpenetrates, allowing the shot to hit multiple targets in a straight line.

### Миномёты

A mortar is usually a simple, lightweight, man-portable, muzzle-loaded weapon, consisting of a smooth-bore (although some models use a rifled barrel) metal tube fixed to a base plate (to spread out the recoil) with a lightweight bipod mount and a sight. They usually launch explosive shells in high-arcing ballistic trajectories. Mortars are typically used as indirect fire weapons for close fire support with a variety of ammunition.

### Огнемёты

Flamethrowers are incendiary devices designed to project a stream of flammable liquid from long ranges. These devices has two parts, the tank and the gun. Contemporary models would have a two tank system, one to store the flammable liquid (such as napalm or petrol) and the other to store compressed inert gas to propel the flammable substance (usually nitrogen). The gun would consist of a small reservoir, a spring-loaded valve, and an ignition system. At war time these were highly effective at clearing out heavily fortified defensive positions such as bunkers and pillboxes. The use of these devices has since been restricted for military use though some are found in civilian purposes such as in agriculture, snow clearing, firefighting, and pest control.

In the Blue Archive Universe, flamethrowers deals an continous Area of Effect damage in a cone shaped area. They fire in relatively short bursts and has to constantly reload after every burst. All striker flame troopers would occupy the front lines and would not seek cover.
