I am assuming that the reason is that they didn't want to animate it. But
really, I think it's a little odd seeing it, as it doesn't tackle on that much
more effort to animate it.

Why do the pistols and rifles not have trigger guards in Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood?


**Why do the pistols and rifles not have trigger guards?** _Because that is by
design_ and not just because they do not want to animate it. Also, not all
firearms in the anime do not have trigger guards. [![enter image description

This was one of the images I found when searching for firearms in _Full Metal
Alchemist: Brotherhood_. A complete list of
[firearms](http://www.imfdb.org/wiki/Fullmetal_Alchemist:_Brotherhood) from
the anime can be found here, as mentioned by @Maroon, in which some standard-
issue firearms _have no trigger guards_.

In [Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trigger_guard), it is stated that
guns can have no trigger guard so

While this might not be in arctic conditions, the fact that some characters in
the anime wear gloves proves the point that _this is for ease of use_. It
would be difficult to press the trigger with a trigger guard if you have
gloves on, especially large and thick ones.
