Line 84:
* ''[[Golgo 13]]'' generally uses an M-16. They're easy to find (so he can acquire one on site), easy to have modified, and cheap enough to dispose of if necessary (whereas specialized sniper rifles tend to be expensive and hard to get on short notice). In addition, this gives him a close-combat weapon if circumstances go sour. He has, however, used other guns as needed. Notably, Golgo tends to upgrade to the latest model of M-16 five to ten years after their release. Fans speculate he waits for their reliability to be proven before switching preferences.
* Shu from ''[[Now and Then, Here and There]]'' favors a simple wooden stick, reflecting his generally peaceable mindset. He doesn't want anyone to die and rejects knives and guns when they're offered to him or forced on him.
* Many characters from ''[[Blood Plus+]]'': Each of the Schiff uses a different kind of weapon, many of them [[BFS|fairly oversized]]. Saya wields a [[Katanas Are Just Better|specially designed katana]] {{spoiler|later reforged with a crystal from George}}, David uses a [[Revolvers Are Just Better]], Kai wields [[Tragic Keepsake|his father's handgun]] with [[Abnormal Ammo|explosive ammo]], [[Man of Wealth and Taste|Solomon]] chooses to transform his hand into a [[Awesome Yet Practical|simple and functional]] [[Blade Below the Shoulder|blade]]..... the list goes on. The weapons represent either their personalities or their history and emotions. Or both.
