BANG BANG BANG ★
An anime in which handguns are coolly portrayed and used as the primary weapon.

Anime with assassins.

aka girls with guns.
The genre that isn't.

As seen on fakemorisummer.wordpress.com/2021/04/01/militarymoe-recommendations/ minus the grayzone ones.

Animes which prominently feature female characters with firearms

Anime that have a female main character that is strong. This can include: strong willed, an intellectual, physically strong, magically adept or a mix of those traits. Most of the time they are portrayed as mature and respectful.

These traits makes the character(s) heads above the average female portrayal in the anime medium.

For this list, the character[s} are:
-- Strong (of course)
and
-- A Woman (adult female / mature for their age teen)
and
-- A Main Character
or
-- Not main but appears often in the anime (not a one episode cameo character)

Please let me know if there are others out there that I have yet to have the pleasure of viewing, or left out by accident.

Thanks!

Anime featured in the Nico Nico Medley video from 2008, if you don't know what that is, you can watch it on YouTube.
Note that some titles are adaptations of games, and other media featured in the video may not be here. Some information could be incorrect or missing, at the end of the day this stack was simply made out of boredom.
Big thanks to GraysWars for their "Kumikyoku Nico Nico Douga w/vocals and lyrics" video, thanks to it I managed to get the sources for all the songs.
Items in order of appearance of the video.
