Of the Devil Characters and Guns I Associate With Them
In Of the Devil's fictional future of 2086, kinetic guns as we know them have been ultimately phased out. They've been replaced by various (somewhat) fictional means of shooting such as electromagnetically slung rounds. The kink the hose here is that a serial killer known as The Heartbreak Killer made headlines by killing 6 women with an "old fashioned" kinetic revolver. Completely fictional (A "Calver M54" Revolver), but familiar all the same.
Being a gun lover (not republican) myself, I thought about the importance of guns in OtD. I then thought about what gun I could assign to each character based on their personalities.
So here's the main cast of OtD and guns I think they resonate with or otherwise would own/use, and why I think such.
Note: This is only with an understanding of the characters up to the release of Episode 2. The future episodes could radically change each character.

London - Mateba MTR-8
Qasim London is an older detective who himself isn't necessarily corrupt, but also isn't disillusioned about the corrupt nature of the police force. He's an old dog who's seen quite a lot from what we can tell. He looks like the dictionary definition of a detective, but also stands out as unique and interesting. Someone who both blends in and stands out.
Considering his depicted sharpshooter abilities in episode 2, he's the kind that seems like he enjoys and practices shooting. With all that in mind, The Mateba MTR-8 feels like a very Qasim London gun.
The Mateba MTR-8 was designed and made to be a competition shooter. Made by Emilio Ghisoni, it is a front heavy revolver that looks like a Mateba Autorevolver got mishmashed around.
It's an old, obscure, yet unique piece. Blends in while standing out, meant for sport shooting, and meant to be reliable. The aesthetic and means fit, even if the gun itself was noted for its slower and awkward reloading.
More time to consider the shots that you better not miss.
Reyes - S&W Model 60
Farah Reyes is the near polar opposite of London. She's new to being a detective, has given up a part of her body to advance herself in the force, and has fully bought into the esprit de corps of law enforcement. She's of two minds, one that believes in the ability to make a difference as an officer of the law, and facing the reality that this same force is corrupt and abuses their power. She's a cop's cop, for better or worse.
With that in mind, she'd opt for a Model 60. Why a model 60? We need to go back to a prior model first real quick;
The S&W Model 36 is known as the Chief's special. It is a compact revolver, classic in nature, and very often associated with AND depicted with figurehead officers in fiction (or otherwise actual officers- it was called the Chief's Special because this design was shown off at a cop convention [WHICH IS A THING????], and a vote held to name it.) The 36 is chambered in .38 special and was favored by cops for its ease, size, and affordability. It is the COP'S gun.
Reyes would opt for a Model 60 because it's the stainless steel older brother of the Model 36 - has an updated tac-grip and doesn't look as old. Reyes would probably say something like "I don't want a wood grip, because it looks old like London." and be like a pedantic shit or something.
She'd hold it and feel a false weight of responsibility in her hands. Whether she uses it correctly or not remains to be fully seen.
Diamani - Sig Custom Works Equinox Series 1911 (Kintsugi Special)
This one is a bit of a stretch as we've only had one episode to get to know Diamani. But going off of what we know, Diamani is a peer to Morgan who offers advice and guidance, as well as information and where to source firearms, per the end of episode 1. He's sharp, careful, collected, and would want two things out of a firearm;
It needs to shoot good.
It needs to look good.
The SIG Equinox 1911 is effectively just a 1911 made by SIG. It looks good, it shoots very well, it's chambered in .45, and I made a mockup of how Diamani would customize it.
The 1911 has always been a reliable, classic piece. It's almost universally recognizable for what it is. It's imposing, well-crafted, reliable, and powerful.
Diamani would accept no less than something that looks, feels, and shoots like a dream.
Serra - Metal Storm O'Dwyer VLe
Serra is probably the second or third most important character of the entire game. All of episode 1 revolves around her.
Serra is a machine, but one that has heart, soul, and good intentions in her.
She's kind, values others, but is extremely powerful because of her being an Add.
She's the "Maya Fey" character of the game, the catch being that the themes of humanization vs soullessness center around her and Morgan both.
The Metal Storm VLe was an experiment that never got off the ground. It was an electric handgun with big ideas. Ideas with some legs that could have been a safer, powerful gun. It was a prototype "SMART" gun that would use RF waves to identify the user, and lock it if it wasn't the owner.
Taurus USA (a big name weapons manufacturer) would have thrown money at it to produce the gun and sell it under their name. Keep that name in mind for later.
In theory, it is a gun with one of the highest firing speeds of any pistol.
In theory, it has no mechanical delay, with no cycling process or hammer necessary.
It could not live up to its ambitions.
It's not modular, it's inconvenient to reload, it's not easy or reliable to pick your shots.
It is an expensive and overengineered designer baby that nobody but its creator really wanted.
Only a few people believed it in, only for it to be dashed by other safety laws and overall disinterest after repeated tests.
A lonely existence where it couldn't be what someone else wanted it to be.
And yet, it exists as a piece of machinery that means something to someone in the right hands, but for the time is something the people aren't ready for yet.
Morgan has taken to her, and sees her potential and something more and deeper in her.
But how could others understand what it means for everything around them?
Morgan - Taurus Defender (Wood Grip)
The Taurus Defender. A .357 magnum which is equal parts powerful as it is stripped away by capitalism. A gun that, despite the big name behind it, despite the money poured into it, isn't all it can be.
Taurus's main schtick is that their guns are the whole foods of firearms - stale, artificially clean, gentrified pieces of work that are almost cookie cutter. Topped with coats of paint that at the right angle make it look like an imposing piece in any owner's hands.
But at the end of the day are cheap, pale imitations that you're spending too much money on.
It looks like a cowboy's revolver. It isn't.
It looks like it's reliable. Not always.
It looks like it's big and scary. Nope.
But it kills away all the same. A soulless tool that offers nothing but what it was made for. Nothing fancy, nothing too flashy, nothing too advanced. A revolver with no fanfare or meaning beyond shooting. A gun is a gun. It's a constant that no matter how much you dress up remains the same. It will do what it needs to do in anyone's hands.
Kill indiscriminately.
The only notable thing being a wood grip, if just for the aesthetic and "classique" of it, which Morgan would opt for just for her own self indulgence.
I will note the Taurus Defender is not at all like the gun she used in Episode 0. From what my amateur-level analysis can garner, the Episode 0 revolver, the "Calver M54" is a S&W revolver of some variety. I think a slight mishmash of maybe 2 or 3 of them but still. I never said I was an expert.
Also further note: the gun she purchases in episode 1 is not a Taurus Defender. It looks to be based on the Maxim9. At least loosely.
Emma - Taurus Defender (Tactical Grip)
It starts with an itch at the back of your mind.
Where something mundane and par-for-the-course happens, but you specifically bare witness to that one little out of place detail.
You see it. Nobody else does. And if they do, they don't care enough.
So you take it upon yourself to look closer.
And you get a glimpse of the big picture.
And you're sunk.
Emma Rockford is analytical, careful, intelligent, and yet has an obsessive chip on her shoulder prevalent in episodes 0-2. From the word go, she's been laser-focused on catching Heartbreak. Analyzing 'him', seeing what makes him tic, why he does this, trying to unravel him.
But where she speeds, others halt.
Her superiors don't want her to focus on the case, despite its renown. "Call us back when he kills someone important." And yet she persists.
The great dramatic irony of the game is how close yet so apart Emma is from Heartbreak, who is actually Morgan, of course. Emma doesn't know how close to the truth she is- but the kicker is that her methodology in court runs parallel to Morgan's.
Do whatever it takes to win.
Emma would one hundred percent not fully grasp what she's getting into, and yet all the same jump headlong into it. She would employ the same tactics as the one she's ultimately chasing after to get what she wants. She'd look at the name "defender" and feel a sense of duty without knowing the deeper implications of what's behind it.
Obsession leads you to places you think you have control over, and yet you simply wind up stumbling through a mirror maze.
In OTD ep.2 it's kinda interesting how much time is spent on how different people with different experiences react to violence. You start the case with Morgan's quadruple murder, where you have Creek, the most experienced, reacting instantly, than Miller, who is used to street fights, makes multiple mistakes that gets them killed, finally Tre, who is the newest member of the gang, freezes.
Than you go to the courthouse shooting, where you have Emma, Serra, and Reyes, who are strangers to violence, freeze up (with a really fun bit on Serra's cut in slide where she thinks "I'm supposed to be fast"), you have Sosuke, who is a bodyguard, and who immediately finds the smallest thing nearby (Serra) and moves to protect it, finally you have Morgan and London who react immediately by reaching for there gun (that in Morgan's case she doesn't have). This is interesting in Morgan's case that she reached for a gun specifically, which implies a bit more familiarity with guns than I thought she might have had (than again she must have a lot of familiarity, she's a good shot, and never good at anything the first time). What really interests me though, is London. We do get a scene that points out that London was paying attention to the guy from the beginning, because he's observant, but he still reacts instantly when a gun is pulled out. His reaction is closer to Creek or Morgan than Reyes or any other cop in that room. With the added context of the additional scenes post chapter 2 we know London is friends with the leader of the Rust. However, with his reactions, I think he might be more than just some long-serving cop who's corrupt, I think, at some point, he was working directly for the Rust doing what the Rust does (murdering people and stealing their mods. This would explain why a detective who spent their time working in arson and organized crime and not on patrol somehow got that used to violence and how he reacts immediately to kill the person who is about to conduct it.
