AGL Arms .45 Long Colt



The .45 Long Colt (EF Auto Ejecting, Double Action) is Vash and Knives' weapon of choice. The modern .45 Long Colt cartridge has ballistic properties equal to, or even surpassing, those of a .44 magnum cartridge. These guns are not based on normal revolvers, but are a mash-up of features from various real-world revolvers. Probable examples include a break action frame reminiscent of an MP412 REX, and a barrel with a low bore axis, firing from the bottom of the cylinder, similar to some Mateba revolvers. The gun's chamber can hold a maximum of six rounds, which can be loaded quickly through use of a standard speed loader.

The two depicted in the series are unique in design, both built by Knives, and can be used in two modes. First, as an ordinary revolver, and second, in a configuration known as The Angel Arm. Each gun is designed with a miniature Plant contained in a break-away housing along the top of the barrel. Activation causes the gun to fuse with the user's arm, transforming both gun and arm into a high-yield energy weapon capable of mass destruction. As Knives demonstrates, it is possible to use both guns at the same time to activate the Angel Arm on both arms. Only Vash and Knives, being Plants themselves, are able to activate the Angel Arm function. Knives also demonstrated the ability to mentally force Vash's Angel Arm to activate against his will.

During his 17 years inside the SEED ship, Knives salvaged the needed parts and Plant material to fashion this set. When questioned by Vash, Knives referred to them as "our Brothers." After Knives had shown Vash the destructive power of the two guns, Vash shot Knives in the leg and escaped, taking both Brothers with him. Knives eventually retrieved his gun from Vash during the July incident, severing Vash's left arm with a shot through his shoulder in the process.

The gun carried by Vash is silver, while the one carried by Knives is black.
