Weapons in anime can come in all shapes and sizes. Since anime is fiction that means weapons don’t have to be realistic at all and are usually embellished quite a bit. Anything is possible, from massive swords that should be impossible to wield to characters that can actually turn into weapons.
In anime, the possibilities are endless, and one of the craziest weapons is large guns. It is not at all uncommon to see anime characters wielding guns that are way bigger than them.
