Death Gun

Death Gun is the main antagonist of the Phantom Bullet arc of the anime/manga/light novel series Sword Art Online. It is the avatar used by the Kyouji Shinkawa and Shouichi Shinkawa to commit murders in Gun Gale Online.

Death Gun is the avatar of Shouichi Shinkawa and his followers, said to have the ability to kill a player in real life from a virtual world. Death Gun was feared among the players of Gun Gale Online (GGO) as serial killer after killing a veteran player who was recording live within the game.

The name of his weapon is also Death Gun, it is a Chinese Type 54 "Black Star" pistol. His gun is said to have the ability to kill a player in real life when a bullet hits a players avatar, but it is later revealed that it is physically impossible to do so. In actuality, Death Gun and his followers had come up with a clever method of making it appear that Death Gun could kill anyone. One of Shoichi's followers broke into the target's house and injected a drug into their body at nearly the same time they were being shot in the virtual world, The drug would cause the victim to go into cardiac arrest almost immediately, causing a force logout from GGO and thus making it appear they had died from the initial shot fired by Death Gun.

The avatar of Death Gun is voiced by Souichirou Hoshi in the original Japanese version and by Benjamin Diskin in the English dubbed version.
