Seburo

Seburo is a fictional small arms manufacturer commonly found in many of the works of manga artist Masamune Shirow. He frequently attributes the Seburo name to advanced, high-velocity, small-caliber weapons similar in design to Fabrique Nationale's FN P90.
Notable Seburo weapons
- Bobson- A small-framed, high-velocity handgun chambered in 4.2 mm, 5 mm, or 6 mm calibers. (Appleseed)
- C-25A and C-26A- 6 mm x 25 mm submachineguns. Both are bullpup weapons, have 50-round magazines, and forward ejection (with a top-mounted brass catcher). The C-26A is smaller and could be more correctly said to be a machine pistol than a submachine gun. (Ghost in the Shell)
- Gover- A 10 mm semiautomatic handgun primarily based on a Browning M1911 frame. It features a ported compensator for recoil reduction and quick recovery time. Despite its centuries-old mechanism and its chambering in pistol ammunition, it is quite capable of neutralizing cyborgs and Landmates. (Appleseed)
- MN-23- A 5.56 mm bullpup assault rifle, based off the P90 and the FAMAS assault rifle. The real story behind this was that Shirow designed it as an airsoft gun, fitting a "P90" style to the mechanism of the FAMAS rifle (as it the first Tokyo Marui electric firing air gun in Japan). While the original company, Moon-Net, produced a thousand copies before ceasing production, another garage kit circle, named Poseidon (taking its name from Shirow's other signature fictional company), produced at two versions, with the latest copy being reportedly higher quality than the Moon-Net version.

- C-X - Compact eXploder is a small bullpup handgun that uses a similar ammo feed to the P90. A garage kit version exists, based on the frame of a Walther PPK replica airsoft gun.
