Blacklisted:

The long boxes strapped to her chest are holding shotgun speed loaders made by Ignition Custom Engineering of Australia, painted tac-black rather than the jaunty red and yellow they come in from the manufacturer. I have no idea why the artist paired an antique pump-action shotgun designed for trench warfare with some obscure speedloaders designed for Adler lever-action shotguns in IPSC competitions.

She appears to have modified the 1897 to incorporate the new Ignition loading gate that's required for the loaders to seat in place (which is absolute sacrilege to do to a genuine trench gun), although the gate is smaller than it should be, is installed too far back on the gun and is back to front. To cap it all off, she'll find out once she tries to do a reload that the loader holds 6 cartridges but the Winchester's magazine only holds 5.

Rifle on the one-point sling is the QBZ-95, rifle strapped to the backpack is the FY-JS sniper rifle. Both current PLA issue.

I believe the pistol is a Webley, but I don't have ours on hand to compare.

That's right - almost certainly the .455 Mk. VI, given the ~6 inch barrel, square-based grips with thumb rest and distinctive removable front sight. It's not a 100% perfect representation (e.g. the yoke should be scalloped in front of the hinge, not straight all the way down) but on the whole a very nice use of a classic revolver.

The long black front barrel tube, lack of a top rail and absence of the folding stock all indicate that she's holding the Steyr TMP, not the B&T MP9.

Submachine gun is the Mekanika URU.

Designed in the mid-70s, Mekanika Industria e Commercio Ltd of Rio de Janeiro made them in 9mm and later .38 for the Brazilian army and police.

Pretty obscure gun - but very appropriate for a mammal found throughout Brazil. She's using the original 9mm version with a fixed tubular stock.

Grenade launcher is the Lom-30, designed and manufactured in Chechnya. It uses Russian 30mm grenades and has powerful recoil - as Silver Fox is experiencing.

Rifle is not the Tavor as previously tagged, but a Ukrainian-made bullpup AK called the Malyuk, made by a company with the snappy name of Interproinvest. Fitted with an EOTech 518.

Shotgun is a Remington 870 7-shot with synthetic furniture, fitted with a Calvary Arms AR-15 stock adapter, Magpul CTR stock, Magpul MIAD pistol grip, ATI heat shield and tri-rail forend with Magpul XTM rail covers.

Shotgun is the Beretta A400 Xplor Action. Very well drawn and an unusual gun to see given that it's a sporting, not a tactical model.

Rifle held vertically on the left is the CZ805 Bren, fitted with Meopta red dot and top-mounted mini holographic sight, flip-up backup iron sights and a Fortis Manufacturing SHIFT angled foregrip, in red.

Rifle on the table on the right is the IWI X95 with a 13-inch barrel, fitted with Meprolight M21 reflex sight.

Beverage on the table is a 1500ml bottle of Vitamin C.C. Lemon, the popular carbonated soft drink manufactured by Suntory Beverage & Food Limited since 1994.

She also has a night vision system installed forward of her scope. Why she would want to use that device in what looks like broad daylight on a clear day is anyone's guess. But I suppose it won't matter too much given that she doesn't seem to be looking straight down it anyway, has an atrocious rear hand position that will guarantee a jerk of the trigger, appears to be taking a grip with only the fingertips of her forward hand, with no palm contact at all (perhaps mistaking the object in her grip for the Accuracy International Fine China Teacup) and has the butt hanging out in midair rather than tucked into her shoulder. Not that I necessarily disapprove of butts hanging out, just that there's one too many in this picture.

These various effects will combine to, as the previous poster outlined, scoop her eye out like a freaking spoon when the rifle recoils, without even the consolatory side-effect of having hit the target. The loss of one eye may make it even harder for her to single-load her next round from her belt into her rifle. If only she had saved up enough to afford some magazines, and maybe a fetching load-bearing vest.

Guns held, from left to right: AK-104 (or possibly 107?) with aftermarket forend, VSS Vintorez (or AS Val, can't tell without seeing the stock) H&K XM8, H&K MP7A2, M16 with UGL and M240.
