Petah
If you're looking for realistic gun fights you are watching the wrong medium. If you are a fan of cheesy 90s action movies, then this show is your holy grail. This show does an excellent job of creating characters that you give a shit about and leaving enough room for high intensity action scenes. As far as over-the-top action goes in anime, this is hard to beat and by the time you are done watching the series, there will be a .50 calibre hole in your appetite yearning for more.

I like this show. I like watching a nun with an eyepatch blow up a car using her custom, gold-plated Desert Eagle. I like crazy gun fights involving a bar, a bunch of thugs, and a maid. I like watching a boat ramp off of another boat to torpedo an Apache helicopter in midair. There really isn't any deep analysis needed here. Animation by Madhouse. It's good.
