Each of these mangas tells the tale of a group of deadly weapons which take the form of human girls/women.

If you want more girl-weapon transformations you could try reading Kandachime. It has has swords take form of human girls (rather than guns like it was in Upotte!!) and it's probably better than Upotte!! in terms of story, characters and art.

Mission! School

Mission! School

Ishikawa Takuya, a high-school student who doesn't stand out in any particular way, is surprised when his principal asks him to take care of some transfer students. He is even more surprised to find that there are actually 30 charming female transfer students in his care, who have come from a boarding school that was destroyed in a fire! At first it seems like a dream come true, but then he notices their knives... and guns... What kind of school did these girls come from?

Both of these series are about a group of cute schoolgirls who are surprisingly vicious and deadly warriors.

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

Arpeggio of Blue Steel

It's been seventeen long years since the Fleet of Fog―a mysterious, unmanned fleet of powerful vessels that appeared out of nowhere―took control of the oceans, barring humanity from traveling between continents or islands. During those years, people the world over have dreamed of a revolt that would let them take back the seas, but there's been no hope―until now. A weapon powerful enough to damage the Fog's vessels has finally been invented, and there's just one way of getting the critical information and prototypes from Japan to America, where the weapon can produced! The submarine I-401, with its humanoid avatar―a "mental model" named Iona, who's taken the shape of a young girl―was once part of the Fleet of Fog, but has chosen to side with humanity. Now captained by Chihaya Gunzo and his crew, the I-401 is the only ship under human control that can move freely through the seas. But she answers only to her captain, and he answers to no one.

If you liked the concept of weapons taking form of girls, you might want to give Aoki Hagane no Arpeggio a try. It features battleships personified as girls and woman.

Looks like it's the season for making manga targeted at military otakus (or trying to turn those people into lolicons). Like Upotte!!, Girls & Panzer revolves around moe schoolgirls handling military equipment, except instead of girls with guns we get girls with tanks. The tank trivia is also there (just like gun trivia could be found in Upotte!!). At least Girls & Panzer doesn't have fanservice...

Both manga revolve around schoolgirls with guns. Riot Girls has adventage over Upotte!! in that it's just a oneshot, so the nonsens ends after a single chapter. Nonetheless if you liked one, you might like the other one too (keep in mind Upotte!! has some instances of questionable ecchi).
