Upotte! - A "Girl X Guns" anime

Hello y'alls~
Yup, it's been weeks since my last post.
Alright, cut the chatter, let's just get right to the point
So, it's finally time(actually damn long already) for Spring 2012 Anime.
I only watched Accel World, Kore Zombie 2nd and Hyouka for the time being but then i came across this anime in www.animetake.com releases, it's just what i've been searching for.
Relating myself for having gun fetishes since i was a kid(thanks to COD/MOH for that), an anime with girls AS the guns are quite interesting, not to mention creative in its ways.
Upotte! brings you the nichijou of the main character, FNC(nicknamed Funco) along with her friends, A18(nicknamed Ichihachi), M16A2(nicknamed Ichiroku), SIG SG 550(nicknamed Sig) and L85A1(nicknamed Eru) Assault Rifles.

What's the cool?
It's just awesome on how they relate the girls characteristic with the rifles specs. For example, M16A2 Assault Rifles could shoot a burst of 3 bullets per shot to conserve bullets, while Ichiroku could do work super seriously, but need to have a short break after a burst.
In my opinion, i found it super-creative through how the rifles parts are related to the girls bodies. I just can't say them here, can't i?

Anyway, here's the OP:
It's an "Okay" to me if i were to say so.
Of course, you could even say that Upotte! is an anime about Assault rifles and guns specs.

More info could be found from the main site: http://www.upotte.jp/
Another all-time-trustworthy source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upotte!!

Btw, through all the episodes i've watched (until ep 9 recently) i've come to liking Galil-chan and Sig-chan.
Galil-chan is actually Galil AR, an Israeli rifle while Sig-chan is SIG SG 550 Assault Rifle.
Still i liek Sig-chan moar :3
here's the spec:

also source regarding SG550 Assault Rifle : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SG_550

So yeah, can't wait for ep 10 where Seishou Academy is going all out war with some unknown hostiles :3
And here's something for impression:
