I may be biased because I am a fan of "Archer", but I think it's fine to have a page for the show. Visually, "Archer" is way more like Japanese anime (which we allow) than "South Park" or "Simpsons"-style cartoons (which we don't allow), so I think that it technically would be in accordance with the rules.

When you categorize it, though, make sure the page has the "Anime" tag.

The guns themselves are also from various time periods. Characters on the show have used modern weapons (i.e. Desert Eagles, TMPs, PSG-1s) alongside really old weapons (broomhandle Mausers, Webleys, MP40s, etc.) I pretty much gave up on trying to make sense of the show's time period.
