Unless the barrel catastrophically fails first...like this

Admittedly the test is not very accurate but it still serves as a general guide...

im surprised that sig was the first "confirmed" lesbian of the 4 of them. she struck me as the neutral and peace keeper one, not one who'd be part of the romantic antics.

MY HOPE HAS BEEN RENEWED NOW!
yuri is alive and kicking in this series.

There's also this example. The kind of damage as shown in the previous picture maybe rare, but it happens.

It seems though that military rifles are more resilient to that sort of thing....

Except FNC is normal, but girl around her are lesbian, and her harem increase without FNC know

well, its because of the new teacher thats why. funco already fell for him, who's to say several others will not?
I feared that instead of a yuri fest, we'd get a harem from the teacher's side.

also, what I didnt expect was for sig. as said, she struck me as the "big sister" who'd make sure they all got along and defuse fights while remaining calm and collected.
having her confirmed to like funco was unexpected.
makes what she did in that bath part in a previous ep(where ichiroku was touching the girls) come in different light now, once you remember she specifically protected funco.

Well, the girls eat regular human food, they can bleed and even secrete vaginal fluids, if Sako is anything to go by, so I'd say they're definitely human in some way. I'd say the girls represent the guns they are named after, rather than actually being the guns, but this may depend on your interpretation.

Roll for SAN.

Chiaki_chan · 2012-05-15, 22:49

Yes they are "weapons" but with the appearance of girls using weapons ... yes it can seem as complicated after her hahaha if it was the girls "cyborgs" but this is not the case ... in fact I think as soon as they entered the academy in their immediately told "You are weapons"

chaos_animagic · 2012-05-15, 23:29

They are "advanced" "dolls" (if you get what I meant, LOL)

Since they are "Guns" they can't really get injured nor "die" from any normal means. (as proven in the previous episodes)

Now... as also proven they have some sort of normal human's body but with internal organs based on "guns"... (as given by Ellie's very frequent "dud")

I am not even sure how they would "breed" since as given many many times...

"In between their legs"... may secrete "fluid" (as given by Sako) but in early episodes, it was said that part can also be the "Trigger" "Hammer" or even the "stock" (as given by Fuuko)

If so... than what would happen if you "insert" anything "in between" would it active the trigger or hammer? thus making the girl fire bullets like crazy? or will it be just normal human reaction?

Now... what do you think would happen if a Gun girl "insert" their "Gun" into another Gun girl's "in between"? (Yuri madness? since Guns are technically the Girl's themselves, and I think they can also feel what the Gun feels....)
Bad thing is... if it happens to be "loaded" would it break the other Gun?...

Myssa Rei · 2012-05-15, 23:47

As mentioned very VERY early in the thread, it's best not to think about the hows and why's of the girls' existences too hard. Really. Just accept the fact that they're personifications of various firearms, and move on. Less trouble that way.

And if this isn't confusing enough, then consider this fact: there are actually mentions of "parents" in the series (particularly by the H&K sisters). So we not only have personified guns, we likely also have personified gun manufacturers. Think about it.

Just treat it as they are the spirits of the guns and you won't go wrong...

It might be hard for some people to comprehend, if their local culture doesn't have a history of polytheism or the concept of "spirits".

That was one explanation offered for why Japan is so accepting of the idea of a thinking android compared to America. It is much easier to believe a robot is "alive" if culturally many inanimate objects can be considered living.

Sometimes I like to explain Upotte by talking about cars, ships, and houses. About how people can believe their beloved car/house that they owned for years has a personality, gave it a name, and is sad when they had to leave it behind one day.

Anh_Minh · 2012-05-16, 12:22

The problem with Upotte is that the girls aren't just personifications of guns a la Soul Eater. They're also personifications of the idea of guns.

sapper · 2012-05-16, 18:37

ok im gonna go with that they are girls who have names but are also called by theyre weapon names and are just extremely good with theyre guns and call theyre organs and stuff specific parts of the gun. in that case if i were one of them i'd be the barret xm109 25mm sniper rifle cuz im a hard hittin sumbitch

o and btw why is the sako an elf and the galil a cat? kinda confused me there XD

HandofFate · 2012-05-16, 22:44

wtf @ the beginning of episode 6, what that girl did, shouldn't she get like penalized or expelled for that?

Go back several pages, we talked about it there. Put simply, since SAKO and Galil are basically just modified AKs using NATO rounds, they're different from the other kids at the school, since the AKs themselves are... different to say the least (it's a pun, but since it's a detail revealed in the manga so it counts as a spoiler).

I don't think SAKO cares about regulations, as she was actually cheating for most of the match.
