10 Coolest Guns In Anime History
9. The AGL Arms .45 Long Colt - Trigun
Affectionately named “the Brothers” by Vash’s psychopathic brother, Knives, this pair of break action revolvers are more than just simple weapons. Both guns were created by Knives to harness their abilities and house an engine that serves as a catalyst for transforming the weapons into the deadly Angel Arm cannons.
Powerful enough to level an entire city – which it
has – the Angel Arm is the unique ability of Knives and Vash as humanoid
plant-like... beings.
It’s complicated.
What’s not complicated, however, is the design of these weapons. While the module inside makes the mechanics complicated, the outside aesthetics of the Brothers is crisp, clean, and simple. The designs are incredibly reflective of the polarized personalities of both siblings.
The
simplicity both reflects Vash’s desire to lead and enjoy a simple life, while
also reflecting the unadorned superiority that Knives feels to the human race.
