Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³ is a story of Yura Yamato in the prestigious Stella Women's Academy. Yura has a hard time making friends with the other girls around until she bumps into Rento Kirishima, who tries to recruit Yura into the school's airsoft club, C³ (derived from command, control, and communications). The club currently consists of Rento, Karila Hatsuse, Honoka Mutsu, Yachiyo Hinata, and Sonora Kashima (President and Yura's roommate). The story revolves around Yura's interactions with the C³ Club's members and activities.
Warning: Some descriptions and images are potential spoilers for the series, read at your own risk.
Note: As this anime is about the sport of airsoft, all of the guns in the show are airsoft replicas, with the exception of a Desert Eagle wielded by Sonora in the first episode.
The following firearms were seen in the anime television series Stella Women’s Academy, High School Division Class C³ :
Yura Yamato holds onto a Beretta M9 while participating in her first airsoft battle. This Tokyo Marui pistol has M9 trademarks, rather the 92FS's trademarks.
The customized Beretta 92FS Brigadier from the Resident Evil series appears to be used by Kiku Nagato, who is cosplaying Jill Valentine (specifically her Resident Evil 3: Nemesis / Umbrella Chronicles outfit) in the Field Queen contest. Tokyo Marui makes a whole line of customized guns from the Resident Evil series, which is known as Biohazard in Japan.

However, given her outfit it can be assumed this is a Samurai Edge pistol; the proportions are consistent with a 92FS, and this is further supported by the slightly extended barrel. (Ep.13)
Beretta Px4 Storm
Two Beretta Px4 Storm can be seen on the back of a "Field Contest Queen" poster.
Yachiyo Hinata uses a SIG-Sauer P228 as her main sidearm. This is the only gun regularly used by a member of the C3 Club that is not made by Tokyo Marui; it is made by WE (even if full metal airsofts gas pistols are forbidden in Japan).
Sonora Kashima, president of the C³ Club, uses two chromed Desert Eagle Mark XIXs as her weapons of choice, and uses a real one while at a shooting competition in the US. She carries them in an unidentified leather horizontal shoulder holster. Meisei Girls' Academy team leader Rin Haruna uses two black Desert Eagles as her sidearms. Both Sonora and Rin have had their respective pairs of Desert Eagles since they were very young. Miyagi Mochizuki of Team KGB uses a chrome Desert Eagle with 10-inch barrel and custom rear sight, safety, and grips. This Desert Eagle, called the "Leon Custom" by Tokyo Marui, is a replica of a pistol from the Resident Evil series.
Yura uses a Glock 17 as her side arm. It was given to her in Episode 2 by Sonora, who pulled it out of a broken Violin in the club building. Why the pistol was stored while loaded with BBs, gas, a round in the chamber, and the hammer cocked, while sitting inside a broken violin remains a mystery.
Akane Seto uses two red Glock 26s. They are part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series, which are available in various bright colours along with the standard black and two-tone silver finishes. In real life however, these pistols would be a poor choice to bring to a game as primary weapons due to their extremely low velocity and range.
Rento Kirishima uses a Glock 26 Advance as her sidearm, a fictional customized Glock 26 fitted with a compensator, rear target sight, and extended magazine.
Moe Seto, similar to her twin, uses a blue PPK/S, also part of Tokyo Marui's "Gindan" series. A black PPK/S can be seen on the back of a "Field Queen Contest" poster.
Though not very detailed and incorrectly having forward cocking serrations, a USP.40 is seen in Sonora's drawer in Episode 1. Tokyo Marui's replica is of the .40 version.

Some Airsoft speed loaders, protective gears, batteries, airsoft gas cans, M1911 magazines, a 7.62mm magazine, and another magazine are also visible. (Ep.1)
Springfield Armory XDM-40 4.5
Meisei team's sidearm is the XDM-40 4.5. It is issued out to all members of the team.
Bonny Anne uses a Flintlock pistol Model 1748 made by Hawkins. While not many identifiable feature can be found to determine exact model, the KTW M1748 Hawkins is the only widespread airsoft flintlock pistol out there.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingHawkins 1748 Flintlock Pistol. This is a replica of the one George Washington uses.Error creating thumbnail: File missingBonny with her flintlock as she gets hit in a battle summary. As you can see, it isn't very detailed and the fact there is only one mass-produced airsoft flintlock narrows the search down drastically. (Ep.13)
Unknown Revolver
In the "Rambo" Movie, Rambo shoots a sheriff holding this revolver.
Yura's new main weapon after Episode 3 is a Vz. 61 Skorpion. Sonora's mentor wields the very same Skorpion during a flashback scene in Episode 2. Yura buys a drum magazine for it in episode 7, which she uses in the 24 hour tournament.
Members of Meisei Girl's Academy airsoft team under Rin's command are all equipped with identical Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDWs, fitted with red dot scopes, Gemtech Raptor-II suppressors, and 15-round magazines. The red dot sights are shown to have both night vision and zoom, which isn't terribly likely. The weapon seems to be standard issued as new recruits get them and are required to return them when they leave the club.
A tournament competitor is shown with a MP7A1 in Episode 3, and a few competitors in the 24H Tournament also have them as well.

Note how it is much larger in scale than the real version, so much so that the competitor can shoulder it despite the stock being collapsed all the way.(Ep.3)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe girl on the left has an MP7A1 with a suppressor attached. Here, the MP7 is much closer in proportion to the real thing compared to the picture above. (Ep.8)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis whole team is armed with MP7A1s fitted with EOTech 552 holosights. Note the reference, though an M4A1/M203 combo would have been a better choice. (Ep.8)Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe cover of a "ARMS Manual Book" has a man with a MP7 on it. It seems to be a reused character model from the Episode 3 image. The other person is a reuse of the player with the M4A1 with tan handguards from the same episode. (Ep.11)
MAC-10
Aoi Seto uses a MAC-10, and a tournament competitor in episode 3 uses one with a suppressor.
Meisei Girl's Academy squad leader, Rin Haruna, uses an M3A1 as her main weapon. By process of elimination of the features found on the three airsoft M3 replicas (ICS, ARES, and S&T) Rin's is the S&T model. The ICS is a replica of the original M3, the ARES is an M3A1 but bizarrely also has the crank charging handle, and the S&T is a proper M3A1, but with a slightly longer than correct pistol grip (to fit its battery). Rin's lacks the crank and has the slightly longer pistol grip, making it the S&T.
Yura uses a M4A1 Carbine as her main weapon, she was first found playing with it while daydreaming in her room in Episode 1 and used it as her primary in Episode 2 and 3. Competitors in the first tournament and the 24H Tournament are also seen using M4A1s.
In Yura's imagination scene, a "Stella Regiment" member has a M16 Rifle aimed at the Stella club. The rifle clearly lacks a forward assist, and there is only one original M16 airsoft replica, a gas-powered rifle made by G&P; all other older-style M16 replicas are of the M16A1. Just like on real ones, the birdcage flash hider is an aftermarket part. Given how common it is for original M16s (or visually similar rifles) to be fitted with birdcage flash hiders, especially for film and TV, and that there is no airsoft replica of the M82A3 seen in the very next shot, it's highly likely that the animators used images of real rifles as reference for both of these guns, rather than airsoft versions.
In an ad for the 24H Tournament, a team is equipped with somewhat modded M16s.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe customized M16 in the tournament ad, the M16 seems to have the barrel indent of a M4, a collapsible stock, and a unique handguard. (Ep.7)
Heckler & Koch HK416
A competitor has a HK416 in the 24H Tournament. A HK416 can also be seen on a "Field Queen Contest" poster.
Honoka Mutsu uses a Heckler & Koch G36KA2 as her main weapon. The A2 upgrades to the G36 are the replacement of the built-in red dot sight with a picatinny rail, a slightly different handguard made of aluminum that features attachment points for rails, and the shorter G36C stock. The Marui replica uses a standard stock instead of the C-length one, however most real G36A2s seem to still use the standard stock as well. Marui's G36KA2 also features SEF fire selector markings, which makes sense as a German Army rifle. Also worth noting is that another G36KA2 airsoft replica exists (made by VFC) which has identical features to the Marui, and it is officially licensed by Heckler & Koch, making this setup rather official.
Rento Kirishima uses an AK-47 as her main weapon. Team Grizzly from Hokkaido in the 24h Tournament are all also equipped with AK-47s. Competitors going against Meisei are also equipped with AKs.
Yachiyo Hinata uses a Howa Type 89-F as her main weapon in games where her AWS would be impractical. While TM's replica comes standard with a bipod, Yachiyo has removed it from her rifle.
On the cover of the "Field Queen Contest" poster, a Tokyo Marui AUG Hich Cycle can be seen. The High cycle appears to be a hybrid of two variants of the AUG A3, with the external body of a Steyr AUG A3 9mm XS submachine gun while being chambered in 5.56 like a Steyr AUG A3. The AUG is the prize for the winner of the contest, along with free BBs for a year, while the other guns on the back of the poster are presumably prizes for second place and below. Being part of Tokyo Marui's "High Cycle" series, this rifle has a rate of fire of 1500 rounds per minute!
Karila's twin brother Aila, of Team KGB, uses a Tokyo Marui AK47 Beta-Spetsnaz as his main weapon. Seira Yaguchi also uses a TM AK Beta without a stock in the "Field Queen Contest".
A H&K G3A4 can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1. It is an A4 as TM's G3A3, seen above, has the green slimline handguard, while the G3/SG1 has a bipod.
An M14 with a dark OD stock can be seen in Sonora's closet in Episode 1. A bunch of M14 with black stocks can also be seen coming out of a "Stella Regiment" locker in Episode 12.
An M60 Machine Gun is C³ Club's support weapon, and Karila mentions that Sonora owns more than one. It makes a notable appearance in Episode 1, and is used by Rento as her primary in the 24H Tournament.
Yachiyo Hinata uses an AWS as her usual primary weapon. In addition to the rifle itself, the Parker-Hale bipod, raised rail mount, medium-height scope rings, and 3-9x40 scope are all Tokyo Marui products.
A Heckler & Koch PSG-1 can be seen in the background of a scene in Episode 1 on a gun rack, it stays there throughout the entire series. On the "Field Queen Contest" poster, a PSG-1 can be seen as well.
A member of the "Stella Regiment" is armed with a Barrett M82A3. Distinguishable from other Barrett M82 variants by its raised accessory rail on top in combination with the rail stopping short of the front with a folding front sight, and lack of a rear sight. There is no airsoft replica of the M82A3; the only M82 series replicas are of the original M82A1 and the M107.

She seems to have removed the bipod in favor of using a comrade as a bipod, which if it was real would be a BAD idea. (Ep.12)
TM VSR-10
Hibiki Tsubaki and another competitor use TM VSR-10, which itself is a Remington M700 copy.

Shotguns
Benelli M3
A Benelli M3 shotgun can be seen in the background in Episode 9.
