The '''Remington 1875''' revolver is an improved version of the percussion '''[[Remington 1858 New Army]]''', and was manufactured by Remington & Sons from 1875 to 1889. The Remington 1875 features a bored through cylinder to facilitate the usage of metallic cartridges, and like the 1858 can detach its cylinder at will. It was made as a competitor to the '''[[Colt Single Action Army]]''' and saw some success in that regard due to its sturdy quality.

'''''Call of Juarez: Gunslinger''''' is a first-person shooter video game developed by Techland and published by Ubisoft, released for PC, Xbox Live Arcade, and PSN on May 22, 2013. The game is not a follow-on from any previous ''[[Call of Juarez]]'' game's plot. However, in-game secrets reveal that the main antagonists were in the employ of Juan "Juarez" Mendoza between the events of the first two ''Call of Juarez'' games. ''Gunslinger'' focuses on aging bounty hunter Silas Greaves as he recounts his exploits in a saloon, telling the tale of how he sought revenge against those who committed a great wrong against him in the past, meeting many figures from the Old West along the way. The game is narrated by Silas and actually takes place in the imagination of one of the bar patrons listening to him, allowing for many amusing and surreal sequences.

The game's graphics have a slightly cel-shaded style to them, along with a screen border designed to make the game look like a cheap colour illustration in a dime novel.

'''The following guns are seen in the video game ''Call of Juarez: Gunslinger'':'''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=

''Call of Juarez: Gunslinger'' features a variant of the standard two-weapon system, with the player character able to carry one pistol and one long gun at a time, along with a limited supply of dynamite. The game features an experience system which allows additional skills to be unlocked with points gained by shooting enemies and chaining combos, with an unlock granted for each level attained. The game has three skill trees with 12 skills each; Gunslinger grants pistol skills (including dual-weilding) and extra combo abilities, Trapper mostly focuses on shotgun skills and dynamite, and Ranger on long ranged combat and the rifle. Each tree includes two "legendary" weapon upgrades, which will retexture all weapons of that type used by Silas, and grant them improved stats.

Several of the Wild West figures the game includes are fought in duels, which use a different system to the rest of the game. Here, the player controls a 'focus circle' they must keep on their opponent for accuracy, and Silas' hand which must be kept close to his weapon for a faster draw.

=Handguns=

==Remington 1890==
The [[Remington 1875|Remington 1890]], referred to as the "Six-Shooter," is the most common handgun in the game, and is used by Silas Greaves and various outlaws during duels. It is the most balanced of the three revolvers, having moderate range, speed, power and accuracy, and is a starting weapon in most levels. The upgraded version is referred to as the "Inlaid Six-Shooter". It is anachronistic for about half the game and a strange pick considering that the Remington 1890 was made as a look-alike of the famous [[Colt Single Action Army]], and the developers could have just used the SAA to begin with.

==Colt 1851 Navy (Cartridge Conversion)==
The [[Colt_1851_Navy#Colt_1851_.28Cartridge_Conversion.29|Colt 1851 Navy]], called the "Ranger," is the game's most powerful and long-ranged handgun, but also the slowest-firing. It is largely based on the revolver used in the film ''[[The_Good,_The_Bad,_and_The_Ugly#Colt_1851_Navy_.28Cartridge_Conversion.29|The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly]]'' as ammunition is inserted via a loading gate, and has similar rear sights. The reload animation is more or less the same from the Remington 1890 and it has a squareback trigger guard of the very early production Colt Navy revolvers. The upgraded version is known as the "Engraved Ranger".

==Smith & Wesson Schofield==
The [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]], called the "Quickshooter," is the rarest of the game's handguns; it is extremely fast-firing and the break-open mechanism means it is quick to reload, but accuracy and power are both mediocre. John Wesley Hardin uses two Schofields in chest holsters during Silas' duel with him. The upgraded version is known as the "Ivory-Handled Quickshooter".

[[Image:CoJG-Schofield-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|John Wesley Hardin draws his dual Schofields. This is actually accurate: Hardin was known for carrying pistols in pair of holsters sewn inside his vest, he claimed this was the fastest way to draw.]]

==Colt Single Action Army==
A [[Colt Single Action Army]] appears on the ammo boxes for the revolvers.

[[Image:CoJ4_coltsaa.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Colt Single Action Army on the ammo box. Note the claim of ".30 Caliber Cartridges"; this isn't correct for any of the game's 3 revolvers.]]

=Shotguns=

== Remington Model 1889 ==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|double-barrel shotgun]] is available; while the game calls it a 10 gauge Whitney, it appears to actually be a [[Remington Model 1889]]. It is shown with dual side-by-side triggers, and is always fired one barrel at a time, the game correctly showing it with one hammer down if it has been shot once. The shotgun is first encountered in the second level when Silas Greaves makes his getaway from prison; the first one found is said to belong to Bob Ollinger. In the real-life version of the escape, Billy the Kid was said to have fatally shot deputy Ollinger with his own weapon; in the game, Silas instead defeats him in a duel. It is anachronistic for the first part of the game. The upgraded version is known as the "Silver Shotgun."

A sawed-off version is also available (known as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun"), which can be equipped to the pistol slot; one of the Trapper skills allows this to be dual-wielded like any other pistol weapon. The final Trapper skill grants a "loaded shotgun" in focus mode, which effectively makes both shotgun variants belt-fed as long as focus is active.

==Colt Model 1878 Shotgun==
The [[Colt Model 1878 Coach Gun|Colt Model 1878 Shotgun]] appears on the ammo box for shotguns.
[[Image:Colt1878.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt Model 1878 Shotgun - 12 gauge]]
[[Image:CoJ4_colt1878.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Colt Model 1878 shotgun on the ammo box. These are supposedly 12 gauge; while this is correct for the Remington in reality, it doesn't match up with the game's claims about the shotgun's bore size being 10 gauge.]]

=Rifles=

==Winchester Model 1892==
The [[Winchester Model 1892]] is the first long gun available, called the "Rifle;" the first one is thrown to Silas by Billy the Kid during the defense of Billy's farmhouse. It is incorrectly shown being loaded by inserting cartridges into the bottom of the receiver instead of the loading port. It is anachronistic for about half of the game. The upgraded version is known as the "Golden Rifle".

[[Image:CoJ4_rifle9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and its receiver. There's a fair bit to unpack here; apart from the rather oddly-placed and oddly-shaped sling hook, there appears to be roughly half of a loading gate on this side of the receiver; there's also an extra rear sight attached to the ''bolt'' of all things, which is made somewhat more sensible by the fact that neither it nor its locking lugs ever move. Topping it all off is the hammer (which is cocked spontaneously upon each cycling of the rifle's action); this features an exposed firing pin that isn't nearly long enough to get all the way through the rifle's bolt, nevermind that Winchesters have flat-faced hammers with firing pins in their bolts to begin with.]]

==Winchester Model 1892 "Mare's Leg"==
A sawed-off version of the [[Winchester Model 1892]] (referred as the "Sawed-off Rifle") similar to the classic "Mare's Leg" but with a full stock is also available. Supposedly, this version was done in real-life to allow it to be accessed quicker in the event one stumbled onto a bear or mountain lion, and was mainly used by farmers, cowboys, and ranchhands. It is not particularly clear what it is for in the game: it is the only weapon that has no "legendary" upgrade, and still takes up the long gun weapon slot. It shares the same incorrect loading animation as the full-length version.

=Mounted Weapons=
==Model 1874 Gatling Gun==
Hand cranked Model 1874 [[Gatling Gun]]s are encountered several times throughout the story, often used by Silas' enemies. While used by enemies they are fired in bursts with reloading pauses, but when controlled by the player they instead feature a somewhat unlikely overheating mechanic and infinite ammunition. At one point in the story it is commented on that Silas seems to encounter an awfully large number of them, to which Silas protests that he is simply telling it how it was.

It is a reused model from ''[[Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood]]'' but slightly modified and this time around it fits historically.

[[Image:AlienNationPoster.jpg‎|thumb|right|300px|Alien Nation (1988) ]]

'''''Alien Nation''''' is a 1988 science fiction film set in a future where a race of worker aliens (derisively termed "Slags") have accidentally landed on Earth and have faced constant prejudice in the ensuing years from the human population. [[James Caan]] stars as Matthew Sykes, an LAPD detective with some prejudice against the aliens, who unexpectedly partners with "George" Francisco ([[Mandy Patinkin]]), a "Slag" officer recently promoted to detective. The film was subsequently adapted into a [[Alien Nation - The Series|FOX television series]] and several television films.

==Freedom Arms Model 83 Revolver==
Upset over the lower power his [[Beretta 92F]] offered in stopping a newcomer, Det. Sgt. Matthew Sykes ([[James Caan]]) trades out his Beretta and picks up a [[Freedom Arms Model 83/97 Revolver|Freedom Arms Model 83]] Revolver chambered in .454 Casull. This is much more powerful, as they demonstrate on the range. His Model 83 appears to be the 'Premiere' grade; Freedom arms offers two grades of the Model 83 (and the shorter barreled Model 97). The Field grade has a matte stainless finish, the Premiere grade has a high polish stainless finish.

And even if a Casull round did penetrate, it would not blow a huge hole in the vest like an overstuffed down pillow either.]]

==Beretta 92F==
Detective Matthew Sykes ([[James Caan]]) at the beginning of the film uses a [[Beretta 92F]]. He fires this in 2 volleys at an advancing newcomer who is hyped up on an alien drug. The first volley is about 10 rounds and has little effect. It offers nearly zero stopping power. The second volley is 8 to 9 rounds, and manages to stop the new comer just before he reaches Sykes.

=Shotguns=
==Benelli M1 Super 90==

A modified [[Benelli M1 Super 90]] Shotgun is used by Rudyard Kipling ([[Kevyn Major Howard]]) at the beginning of the film. The shotgun is fitted with a pistol grip stock, extended magazine tube, rifle sights and both box or drum magazines. The drum and box magazines used on the Benelli appear to be non-functioning props, as it would be impossible in real life to enable a detachable magazine to function from a tube-fed shotgun which operates from a closed breach. This movie is the first-known cinema appearance of the Benelli M1 Super 90, which had just been introduced two years prior to this movie's release.

It would be impossible in real life for any magazine attached to the breach to cycle rounds into the chamber of the weapon, given its design. Also note the rail on the left side of the receiver, which is how the prop magazine actually attaches to the gun.]]

==Remington 870==
A full sized [[Remington 870]] police shotgun is used by Det. George Francisco ([[Mandy Patinkin]]) when he is pursuing the mutated slag monster. Also a short barreled Remington 870 with a synthetic black pistol grip (with no stock) is used by the 2nd Newcomer robber at the beginning of the film.

Resident Evil 4

2023-04-28T16:57:39Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called Ganados, who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados who infect people with parasites named "Las Plagas". Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

[[Resident Evil 4 (2023 VG)|A remake of this game]] in the same vein as other recent installments was released on March 24, 2023.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd increases in ammo capacities. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which, according to unsourced reports citing the statements of a "designer Ryoumura Jyoshin", was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

The name "Silver Ghost" is not used at any point inside ''Resident Evil 4''; it appears to be an unofficial nickname that originated from the [https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Matilda aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon aiming his Matilda.]]

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

Note the 6-round cylinder, while the real Model 500 is only available with a 5-round cylinder. When reloading the upgraded Handcannon, Leon uses a 6-round speed loader. Otherwise he would toss loose rounds into the cylinder like he does with the Broken Butterfly.]]

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded its range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving the (visually absent) wind-up key a crank. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:SteyrTMP.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr TMP - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPStockAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Only with its proprietary stock fitted, will the player characters actually shoulder the thing when firing, making shot grouping a wee bit more consistent at long ranges as well as reducing shaking and sway when trying to line up a shot.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Sniper Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which implies that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 Springfield to .223 Remington. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its hand crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

In the Castle, Leon fires a giant cannon to destroy a gate so he can proceed.

[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Full view of the cannon.]]

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry similar to those found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

=Unusable Guns=

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Colt 1851 Navy==
What appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver can be seen on a painting in the castle. The picture itself is based on 'King Charles I At The Hunt' by Anthony Van Dyck, which makes it out of time.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort walls, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality.

[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]

Resident Evil 4

2023-04-28T16:35:30Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called Ganados, who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados who infect people with parasites named "Las Plagas". Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

[[Resident Evil 4 (2023 VG)|A remake of this game]] in the same vein as other recent installments was released on March 24, 2023.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd increases in ammo capacities. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which, according to unsourced reports citing the statements of a "designer Ryoumura Jyoshin", was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

The name "Silver Ghost" is not used at any point inside ''Resident Evil 4''; it appears to be an unofficial nickname that originated from the [https://web.archive.org/web/0/https://www.projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Matilda aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon aiming his Matilda.]]

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

Otherwise he would toss loose rounds into the cylinder like he does with the Broken Butterfly.]]

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded its range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving the (visually absent) wind-up key a crank. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:SteyrTMP.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr TMP - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPStockAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Only with its proprietary stock fitted, will the player characters actually shoulder the thing when firing, making shot grouping a wee bit more consistent at long ranges as well as reducing shaking and sway when trying to line up a shot.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Sniper Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which implies that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 Springfield to .223 Remington. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its hand crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

[[Image:Naval cannon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Naval cannon - 18th century]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cannon was left loaded, so Leon doesn't have to ram in ammunition, wads, and place a gunpowder charge inside the breech. He then fires the cannon without igniting the touch hole.]]

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry similar to those found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

=Unusable Guns=

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Smith & Wesson image is marked with #1.]]

==Flintlock Pistol==
An image of a [[Flintlock Pistol]] can also be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range.

==Colt 1851 Navy==
What appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver can be seen on a painting in the castle. The picture itself is based on 'King Charles I At The Hunt' by Anthony Van Dyck, which makes it out of time.

==Remington 700 BDL==

In a cutscene, one of Ganados with the village chief Bitores Mendez uses what appears to be a [[Remington 700 BDL]] rifle modified to fire tranquilizer darts to knock out Ada Wong.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bowgun in the attache case.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Hand Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hand Grenade painted olive drab.]]

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

Upon inspection Leon ponders just where did the Merchant get all these munitions.]]

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort walls, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Molotov Cocktail thrown.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hiding in the village tower isn't exactly safe, as this thrown Molotov implies.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game. The lettering on the side also states the rounds are "Hi-Shok JHP" or Jacketed Hollow Points, which may explain their ability to occasionally explode enemies heads.]]
[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality. This is probably a modeling mistake of the devs since in the ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' games (which released before RE4) .45 ACP is correctly classified as a standard handgun caliber, albeit more powerful than 9mm.]]
[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]
[[Image:RE4shotgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shotgun Shells. The ammo box calls the ammo 12 gauge sabot slugs, although you can't fire a sabot slug from a smoothbore shotgun, they have a wide spread anyway. "Hybred" appears to be a misspelling of Hybrid.]]

'''''Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II''''' is the nineteenth installment in the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' first-person shooter series. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, it is a direct sequel to ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)]]'', and it was released on October 28, 2022.

A continuation of ''Modern Warfare'''s storyline, the plot follows the newly-formed elite multinational Task Force 141 in their continuing fight against the terrorist organization Al-Qatala, who have formed an alliance with the deadly Las Almas drug cartel.

{{VG Title|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II}}

__TOC__ 

=Overview=
The weapon system in ''Modern Warfare II'' is a modified version of the weapons and Gunsmith system found in ''Modern Warfare'', with a limit of five mod slots. Primary weapons are divided into seven types: submachine guns, assault rifles, shotguns, battle rifles (high damage, high recoil select-fire rifles with low capacity), marksman rifles (high damage, accurate, exclusively semi-auto/manually-operated rifles, with iron sights), light machine guns, and sniper rifles. Weapon inspection animations are more intricate than it was in ''Modern Warfare'', with the user often checking the magazine and/or chamber in each of the inspect animations. The current ammunition type (hollow points, incendiary rounds and the like) can also be seen. As of Season 1, inspect animations now correctly account for if the weapon is empty or not; this was not the case during the multiplayer beta and launch builds of the game.

Many weapons are now classified under a "Weapon Platform" system, which groups multiple weapons (which may cover several different types) in the same real world weapon family into a single set, with individual weapons within the Weapon Platform being classified as "Receivers". Weapons under a Weapon Platform share a progression system that lets the player unlock platform-specific shared attachments.

Because of this, a number of weapons can make identical clones, allowing you to run two of the same weapons in one loadout, with only very marginally different stats (a difference of a few percent). The AK-103 and RPK can both become an [[AKM|AKMN]], and the AUG A3's LMG and assault rifle variants can be changed around to be the [[Steyr AUG A3-CQC]]. Additionally, the SR9 and HK91, as well as the M4 and 16 can be turned into each other, and the SCAR-H can be turned into the Mk20 SSR, though these all have different fire modes or calibers in game, justifying different damage, range, and accuracy stats. Why something like an AKMN built from an RPK has slightly higher accuracy than one built from an AK-103 but slightly lower damage is entirely unexplained.

The current known Weapon Platforms with multiple receivers in ''Modern Warfare II'' are the following:
* Bruen Bullpup Platform (Steyr AUG-based weapons)
* Bruen Ops Platform (MCX-based weapons, as well the Honey Badger)
* Bryson 800 Series (Mossberg-based shotguns)
* Bryson Long Range Platform (Remington 700-based weapons)
* Kastovia Platform (AK-based weapons)
* Lachmann Meer (Heckler & Koch roller-delayed weapons)
* M4 Platform (AR-based weapons)
* Ordnance Weapon Platform (M14-based rifles)
* Tactique Verte (FN SCAR-based weapons)
* XRK (Glock pistols)

Through the use of grip attachments, the "Tactical Pistol Raise" benefit introduced in MWII is the ability to instantly draw the player's sidearm without fully lowering their primary weapon. Dual-wielding makes a return in ''Modern Warfare II'', although it is regulated to the grip attachment of the weapon instead of being a weapon perk and it's only restricted to handguns exclusively.

Various executions (finishing moves) that use a firearm in this game now involve other weapon types, in addition to a pistol unlike in prior games. If the player has a weapon of the same class (assault rifle, SMG, etc) as a given execution's default weapon, the player's custom weapon will be featured instead.

''Modern Warfare II'' introduces extensive and realistic water physics, a significant improvement over ''Black Ops: Cold War'', the previous game in the series to feature water mechanics. Unlike in ''Cold War'', primary weapons can't be fired underwater and only handguns can, albeit with a reduced efficiency. Shooting into water and explosions cause ripples and mines float when thrown onto water. When swimming on the surface, water flows into the weapon's details and the weapon along with its user can get wet.

=Handguns=
==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] returns as the ".50 GS" and is said to be manufactured by Sakin ("Sakin" meaning "Knife" in Hebrew). The new model is a bit more stylized and features Picatinny rails on the 12 o'clock and 6 o'clock positions, a skeletonized hammer, and has a two-tone finish that is basically the reverse of the Desert Eagle in the original ''[[Modern Warfare 2]]''; the ''MW2'' pistol had a chrome frame and trigger, while the ''MWII'' pistol has a chrome slide, barrel, and hammer. It is frequently used by Las Almas cartel members.

The standard magazine capacity is of 7 rounds, but extended baseplates that take the capacity to 10 or 13 rounds are available. The weapon can be modified with a ported barrel via the "SA Comp Barrel".

==Glock 17 MOS==
The "X12", manufactured by the in-game XRK, is a stylized [[Glock 17|Glock 17 MOS]] with front slide serrations. It is based on a 5th generation version, though it is depicted with two pins above the trigger like the Gen 3 and Gen 4 models (as opposed to one pin for the Gen 5). It's equipped with a plate system to mount red dots, just like the real Glock MOS System and many of its stylized parts include the rounded bottom beaver-tail, the MIL-STD 19-13 rail, the hinged trigger (which turns into a more Glock-style one with some customization options), a small port on top of the slide just rear of the front sight and the grip texture.

It can be fitted with a Flux Defense Brace, called "XRK Pistol Stock". It feeds by default from Magpul 17 round Glock magazines with an orange follower, a +7 extended baseplate, a 33-round stick magazine stylized to look like a Kriss MagEx2 (that holds 40 rounds) and a Magpul PMAG D-50 GL9 50 round drum magazine. The same options are available for the Glock 18.

Judging by the square hole in the pistol's frame, where a QR code is painted out, the XRK pistol platform seems to be modular just like the [[SIG-Sauer P320]] or the ZEV OZ-9.

It is frequently used by Las Almas Cartel members, Soap, Rodolfo and Russian Konni PMCs in the campaign. Glocks are also seen in many character's holsters, including Ghost and Alejandro.

==Glock 18==
A stylized [[Glock 18]] appears as the "X13 Auto", a part of the XRK pistol platform, and features its fire selector on the right side of the slide instead of the left, as well as sporting a tan finish, similar to the [[Glock 19X]]. It has the same Gen 5 MOS FS setup as the "X12", even though the real Glock 18 isn't known to exist in this configuration. Other differences from the "X12" include a different grip texture and a tritium front sight. Of note, the "X12", "X13", and MW19's "X16" (Glock 21) feature the same relationship between their numbers as the real pistols (G17, G18, skip two, G21 / X12, X13, skip two, X16), which is almost certainly intentional.

In the campaign it's seen used by Russian PMCs and the Mexican Army (which is inaccurate, as the latter are issued the [[Beretta 92FS]] or the [[SIG-Sauer P226]]).

A carbine conversion kit with an AR-15 style T-handle, resembling the [[FAB Defense KPOS Scout]], is available for the X13.

A 3D printed pistol apparently based on the in-game Glock 18 model appears in the post-credits scene.

Or maybe it's just a safety and the gun is full-auto only, as it cannot be switched to semi-auto in gameplay.]]
[[File:Mw 22 x13 (2).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another small change from the X12 are the standard iron sights, which now have a green front post.]]

==SIG-Sauer P220 Elite==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220|SIG-Sauer P220 Elite]] with a less pronounced beaver-tail, a squared magazine release and suppressor height sights (that co-witness with optics) appears as the "P890" (or "Bruen .45" during the beta). The decocker is actually used during the inspect animation and when reholstering the pistol, when drawing it the user will cock the hammer manually, so the gun always fires in single action (in third person the gun fires the first shot double-action and the following ones single-action, this cycle resets after a few seconds). A double-action only DAK trigger group is available, removing the decocking and cocking animation and adding a fire delay, reflecting the long squeeze of the DAO trigger mechanism. At launch, the trigger was not animated during the decocking sequence, though this has since been patched. When using the double-action-only trigger group, the trigger is still incorrectly in the more rearward single action position, however. It feeds from stainless steel 8-round magazines by default, but magazine baseplates that increase the capacity to either 10 or 12 are available.

Like the two Glock variants, the P220 features a slide equipped with a cut for micro red dot optics (that mount directly onto the slide, instead of having different plates between the slide and the optic, which would mean that either all the MRDs in the game share the same mounting system or the cut is universal), a feature not available out of the box on the real SIG.

It seems to be a favorite of various members of TF 141 and US MARSOC in "Capture or Kill" are seen with the pistols in their holsters instead of the more fitting M45A1 or the Glock 19 (which could have been made as the X14 in-game).

===SIG-Sauer P220 X-Six===
Fitting the P220 with the "Matuzek Cottonmouth Barrel" (which is stated to be 140mm long, while the X-Six's is 153mm long), the "Bruen RSH-80 Grip" and the "XRX Heavy V3" trigger group will make it somewhat resemble the P220 X-Six, retaining the double-action trigger mechanism and black standard frame.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Basilisk" (or "Centum 5" in pre-release). The barrel appears to be somewhere between the 4 and 8 inch barrel options for the real Model 500, most likely 6 inches. Similar to [[Battlefield 2042]]'s Taurus Raging Hunter, unfired rounds in the chamber are retained while reloading. Having the "Fast Reload" perk or "Akimbo" attachment omits retaining rounds entirely, but keeps it in the player's ammunition pool.

The primers will always appear as intact, however.]]

=Submachine Guns=
==AR-57==
A short-barreled [[AR-57]] appears as the "FSS Hurricane" as an SMG in the "M4 Platform". It is depicted with traditional AR-15 style charging handle at the rear, whereas the real AR-57 has a right-side charging handle. The handguard is also different, instead of a quad-rail it seems to be based on an M-LOK system. It's fitted with a Troy M7A1 PDW stock and seems to use the same SIG-inspired lower receiver as the "M4" with an A2 grip by default, options to change the stock and grip are available, as they are shared with the M4 platform.

==FN P90 TR==
A stylized [[FN P90 TR]] (inspired by some blueprints from ''Modern Warfare'') appears as the "PDSW 528" as part of the Tactique Defense platform. The "528" designation is an abridgement of of its '''5'''.7x'''28'''mm caliber. The stylized magazine from those blueprints is now transparent, and tracks the feeding ammunition. The P90 TR can be turned into a regular P90 with its integrated optic, however unlike MW19 this attachment isn't in the Optic category, but rather a new "Rail" category that allows for three different upper receivers: The (stylized) P90 TR upper by default, the P90 upper with optic, or the aftermarket EFFEN 90 upper with a tiny low profile rail. Equipping the integrated optic upper blocks use the optics attachment category. The longer-than-normal barrel can be returned to its proper length with the "9.5" Duke-30" barrel attachment.

==Heckler & Koch HK94A3==
The "Lachmann Sub" is a [[Heckler & Koch HK94A3]] chopped and converted to resemble an [[MP5A5]]. The giveaway is that, along with other guns in the "Lachmann Meer" platform (which is clearly supposed to represent the Heckler & Koch roller-delayed family of weapons), it lacks a paddle magazine release, leaving only the (extended) button release. The game's HK94 has a 3-round burst trigger group installed, as well as an MP5's barrel with attachment lugs. Curiously enough, the trigger group lacks a semi-auto position; accordingly, the weapon can be switched between full-auto and three-round burst during gameplay, but not semi-auto. The in-game weapon also sports a strange cylindrical charging handle that differs from the other weapons in its family.
15, 30 (the default one) and 40 round metal magazines are available, along with a 50 round drum inspired by the Magpul PMAG D-50 MP.

The "Lachmann Pulsar" barrel attachment gives it a short barrel approximating that of an [[MP5K]]. The "LM Cronus Grip" gives it the same [[PTR 9KT]]-style trigger group as the one seen on ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]''’s MP5 blueprints, with the triangular parts still facing the wrong directions, but this time the selector markings are "S-3-F".

The HK94A3 is mostly used by the Las Almas Cartel and Colonel Vargas' "Los Vaqueros" federal special forces unit in the campaign story.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A2==
A fictionalized [[Heckler & Koch MP7A2]] appears as the "VEL 46" as part of the LMP platform.
It feeds from 40 round magazines by default, and 30 round stylized magazines, a fictional quadstack 50 rounder and 60 round drum are available to extend the gun's capacity.

==KRISS Vector==
The Gen I/Gen II hybrid [[KRISS Vector]] from ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'' returns as the "Fennec 45", still missing the piece that connects the pistol grip and the receiver, which is once again too small to accommodate the Super-V recoil dampening system the real Vector is known for. The in-game description notes that its use of subsonic ammo hides the death skulls that appear to the enemy team, and as it's not using any sort of "special" ammo type in-game this implies that ''all'' weapons using .45 ACP (which is inherently subsonic) will hide enemy death skulls.

The default magazines for the Fennec are KRISS MagEx2's with a 30 round capacity. The two other magazine options are a 13-round Glock 21 magazine underloaded to 12 rounds (it actually does have one less witness hole, a very nice detail) which converts the Fennec to 2-round burst, and a Magpul D-50 9mm Glock drum magazine adapted to .45 ACP and with a 45 round capacity.

The weapon has an extended barrel and handguard, the former similar in length to the 8" export model available in Ukraine, and the latter seemingly inspired by the KRISS MK1 Modular Rail. Barrel customization options include the “5.5" Fennec Minitac” (a standard Vector's 5.5" barrel), “FTac 8.5" Recon” (actually a 6.5" barrel with a stylized MK5 Modular Rail), and "Fennec Covert Force" (a barrel shroud based on a Vector CRB Enhanced, depicted as an integral suppressor in-game).

Stock options include the "Agile Assault-7 Stock" (based on the early TDI Vector prototype stock) and the "FTac Stock Cap" (a Vector SDP's quick-detach sling swivel).

==PP-19 Bizon-2==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] returns from ''Modern Warfare'' as the "Minibak", now with a more correctly modeled receiver, forend and stock. It still uses the earlier Bizon-1's 64-round helical magazine by default, but this time with the magazine front attachment point of the Bizon-2.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] appears as the "Vaznev-9K". It is fitted with a railed AK-100 series polymer style forend. Prior to the Season 1 update, the Vityaz could not accept any underbarrel accessories in multiplayer. Vityazs with underbarrel grips can be found in the Campaign in the hands of Al-Qatala and Russian PMCs.

In addition to the standard 30-round stick mag the gun feeds from by default, the Vityaz can accept fictional quad-stack 45 round magazines. It can also be modified with a [[Saiga 9]]'s 367mm barrel via the "SA Response III" barrel attachment.

==SIG-Sauer MPX==
A [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] Gen 2 with a stock inspired by the SIG PSB collapsible brace appears as the "BAS-P". It is Alejandro Vargas' main weapon throughout the campaign, and was added to multiplayer on Season 1. It is part of the "Bruen Ops" platform, suggesting that the in-game manufacturer Bruen (which also manufactures the Bruen Bullpup/AUG platform) is a mishmash of SIG and Steyr.

The optional barrels are the following: “12" Bruen SZ-36” (a fictional-length barrel with a Midwest Industries-style M-LOK handguard), “10.5" Bruen Typhon” (an integrally suppressed barrel with an MPX Gen 1 style handguard), “6.5" Bruen Drake” (a 6.5" barrel with a factory MPX-style M-LOK handguard), and “4" Thunderfire” (an [[SIG-Sauer MPX K|MPX K]]'s 4.5" barrel).

=Shotguns=
==Benelli M4 Super 90==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "Expedite 12." It is used by Shadow Company and Task Force 141 members in the story.

The first port-loaded shell in a reload sequence will play a slower animation showing the player character palming the shell before loading it. This does not happen with the "Fast Reload" perk. Customization options include a 14" short barrel and a collapsible stock. Interestingly, it is shown having the option to use Dragon's Breath shells, firing and cycling them easily; Dragon's Breath shells have difficulty powering a semi-automatic shotgun action as they are considered low-power rounds which require manual cycling.

==Browning Citori 725==
The [[Over and Under Shotgun|Browning Citori 725]] returns as the "Lockwood 300", with an altered handguard and stock compared to the ''Modern Warfare'' rendition. It is still used as an apparently favored weapon by Al-Qatala in the story.

=="Corvus Masterkey"==
The underbarrel "12-Gauge Deputy" returns from ''Modern Warfare'', now under a different name. It has a new model that appears to have a Mossberg-style trigger guard, and now it can be reloaded. The reload animation is of a similar style to the Benelli M4, first (if empty) loading a shell into the chamber and pressing the bolt release, then loading three shells into the tube.

==Mossberg 590M==
A [[Mossberg 590M]]-style detachable box magazine variant with a collapsible stock and a short barrel appears as the "Bryson 890". It was apparently supposed to be a [[Vepr-12]] since it's called "mviktor" (Molot Vepr) in the game files, and it even retained the Vepr-12's magazine well and uses its correct magazines capacities as well (8, 10 and 12). It was probably going to be part of the AK platform being unlocked from the RPK as the Vepr-12 is based on it.

A Los Vaqueros operative uses the 590M to breach a door in the "Cartel Protection" mission.

=Rifles/Carbines=
==AK-103==
The [[AK-103]] appears as the "Kastov 762". The "Kastov" label implies that the rifle was developed in the fictional country of Kastovia from ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]''. Magazine options include the standard 30-round polymer mag, and 20 or 40 round steel magazines.

The weapon can be modified with an [[AKM]]'s gas block and wooden handguard via the "KAS-7 406mm" barrel attachment, as well as AKM's stock via the "Ivanov Wood Stock", while retaining the AK-103's front sight block, smooth dust cover, and folding stock hardware on the left side of the receiver. It can also be fitted with an [[AKMS]]'s underfolding stock via the "Prolite TL3 Stock". Some of these combinations can be found in the campaign.

===AK-104===
Equipping the "Kastovia 343" barrel turns the weapon into an [[AK-104]].
[[File:Ak104.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AK-104 - 7.62x39mm]]
[[File:Mw22 ak thing (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|An AK-104 in the gunsmith preview screen.]]

==AK-105==
An [[AK-105]] with light tan furniture and magazines appears as the "Kastov 545". It employs the "Iraqi reload" technique when reloading from empty, even when the stock is removed, which would make this technique impossible to pull off.

The default magazines are tan 30-rounders (6L23) and alternative options include 20-round black polymer mags, a 45-round classic red 6L18 magazine and a 60-round quad-stack black magazine (6L31).

===AK-74M===
Equipping the "Kastovia 406" barrel turns the weapon into an [[AK-74M]].

===AKS-74N===
The rifle can be turned into a pseudo [[AKS-74|AKS-74N]], except that it retains the partly smooth top cover. This is achieved by pairing the "Kastov-Rama" stock with either the "Kastovia 406" barrel (which has a synthetic handguard) or the "KAS-7 406mm" barrel (which has a wooden handguard, along with an earlier AKM's 62 degree gas block and slant brake). The weapon can alternatively be fitted with the "Ivanov Wood Stock" to make it resemble the [[AK-74|AK-74N]].

==AKS-74UN==
The [[AKS-74U]] appears as the "Kastov-74u". It is specifically the AKS-74UN variant with a side-mounted bracket for attaching optics. For the ''first'' time in the Call of Duty series, it is correctly classified as an assault rifle as opposed to an SMG. As with the aforementioned AK-105, it employs the "Iraqi reload" technique when reloading from empty, even including the impossible reloading technique without the stock.

The progression screen in the beta shows it with a polymer 7.62x39mm magazine, though an [[AKMSU]] conversion or separate weapon does not appear in the released game. At the moment the gun uses black polymer 30 round magazines (6L23) by default, 20 rounders serve as fast mags, and the same 45 round magazine available from the AK-105 (6L18) serves as the only extended option.

The gun can be customized with ZenitCo furniture like handguards and stocks.

==Colt Model 901==
The [[M16A4|Colt Model 901]] (which was marketed as an M16A3) appears in the game as the "M16". It fires in three-round bursts, meaning it is intended to pass for an M16A4, but the fire selector has the Safe/Semi/Auto markings of the A3 rather than the A4's Safe/Semi/Burst. It is fitted with a KAC M5 railed handguard and feeds from the same stylized windowed PMAGs used with the "M4". Along with the two extended magazine options available for the "M4", the M16 can also use short 20-round GI magazines that hold 15 rounds for some reason (maybe because 20 isn't a multiple of 3 or to align it with the same magazine option seen on the HK93, which also is a 20 rounder limited to a capacity of 15).

A properly functioning R0901-style rifle can also be achieved by modifying the "M4" mentioned below, although keeping the non-milspec upper and lower receiver.

Numerous factions in the campaign use the Model 901 M16 rifle, including Al-Qatala, the Las Almas Cartel, and the Mexican Army.

Note the "M16A2" markings on the magwell, which (intentionally or not) would be correct for an M16A3, as the receiver of the real weapon is indeed marked as such.]]

===Mk 18 Mod 0===
The "11.5 Carbine Shroud" attachment gives it an AR carbine handguard/10.5" barrel/AR front sight, effectively turning it into a [[Mk 18 Mod 0]] when combined with one of the telescoping stock options (though it still fires in three-round bursts due to the faux M16A4 receiver).
[[File:Mk18SpecializedArmaments.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with standard M4 handguard and 6-position stock - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Mw22 m16 (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Combine the M16, the "11.5 Carbine Shroud" and telescopic stock and you got yourself a Mk18 Mod 0.]]

===Mk 18 Mod 1===
Fitting the M16 with the "11.5 T-H4 Barrel" and any telescoping stock will create a Mk 18 Mod 1.
[[File:Mk18Mod1SOPMOD.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 1 with Crane stock, KAC back-up iron sights, EOTech XPS3, AN/PEQ-15 ATPIAL, vertical foregrip, and dual pressure activation switch - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

===M4A1 Carbine===
The “14" Carbine Shroud Barrel” attachment gives it an AR carbine handguard/14.5" stepped barrel/AR front sight, turning it into an [[M4A1]] (or an [[M4 Carbine|M4]] in gameplay terms).
[[File:ColtM4A1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt M4A1 with 6 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Mw22 m16 (2).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M4A1 in the loadout preview screen.]]

==FN SCAR-H==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "TAQ-V". The default magazine is a black 20-round proprietary model; a 30-round polymer magazine inspired by the Molon Labe Industries (couldn't get a more pretentious name) offerings and a two-tone XS Products X-25 50 round drum, are available as extended options. Interestingly, the rifle features its internal file name in its receiver markings, placed as if "SCHotel" is its in-universe model name; following the standards of internal file names, "S C Hotel" naturally stands for "'''SC'''AR-'''H'''". This time, it is correctly classified as a battle rifle instead of an assault rifle.

[[File:Scar h std.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN SCAR-H STD - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:MW22 SCAR 17.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SCAR-H in the loadout screen. The model has undergone a stylistic redesign from ''MW19'''s "FN Scar 17," with three vent holes, shorter rails for the correct barrel block placement, and ACR-like stock. The magwell still has the AR-15 style outdent. During an early stage of the game, a typo in the gunsmith described the weapon as firing "7.26" rounds, but this has been fixed.]]

==FN SCAR 17S==
In addition to the standard SCAR-H, the [[FN SCAR 17S|SCAR 17S]] semi-auto only version appears under the marksman rifles class. It is referred to as the "TAQ-M", and is fitted with a 20" barrel, a rail extension and an [[FN SSR]]/SCAR 20S style fixed stock. It is chambered in 6.5mm Creedmoor like the SCAR 20S. The Los Vaqueros unit uses this SCAR variant as its sniper rifle in the campaign story.

==FN SCAR-L==
A black [[FN SCAR-L]] appears as the "TAQ-56" and it's manufactured by "Tactique Verte", the in-universe equivalent to FN Herstal, which also makes the PDSW 528, a fictionalized P90 variant. It is depicted with incorrect H&K style fire selector markings and a stylized lower receiver.

It feeds from black STANAG style 30 round magazines, but 40 round PMAGs and 60 round Surefire MAG5-60s are also available.

It comes with a (swappable) stylized A2 grip by default and the magazine release on the right side seems to be an aftermarket extended one.

It is the standard rifle for both Shadow Company operators and the Los Vaqueros unit in the campaign, being commonly found with various attachments.

===FN SCAR-L CQC===
Equipping the SCAR-L with the "12' Tacshort Barrel" will give it a CQC-length barrel.

==Heckler & Koch HK91A2==
A [[Heckler & Koch HK91A2]] with a safe/semi/auto select fire trigger group appears as the "Lachmann-762". Like the other guns in the "Lachmann Meer" platform, it lacks a paddle magazine release, distinguishing it from the military [[G3]]. It appears to be fitted with a stylized slimline handguard.

It is a standard rifle of the Mexican Army in-game.

===Heckler & Koch HK91A3===
Fitting the rifle with the "Lachmann S9 Factory" stock makes it resemble an HK91A3.

==Heckler & Koch HK93A2==
A shortened [[Heckler & Koch HK93A2]] with a Magpul-inspired trigger group with safe/semi/auto positions appears as the "Lachmann-556". Once again, the lack of a paddle magazine release distinguishes it from the military [[HK33]].

It is intended to be an [[HK53]], as evidenced by the game files referring to it as "ar_kilo53", though the barrel and the cocking tube are slightly longer than this version, with the length being between the HK53 and the HK33KA3. It can be made HK33-length with the "Lachmann Nova" or "LM Aurora 90 Barrel" attachments (these two having same cocking tube length as each other, and almost the same barrel length), or HK33K-esque length (shorter than proper, but longer than the game's default) with the "Lach-12 Barrel".

It feeds from translucent 30 round magazines by default, but it can also use 20 round magazines (that hold 15 rounds), 40 round extended magazines or a 60 round drum inspired by the X-Products drum available for the G3 family of rifles.

The rest of the bullets will appear after the animation is done. This can also be observed easily with the M4 and M16.]]

==Honey Badger / SIG-Sauer MCX hybrid==
A [[AAC Honey Badger|Honey Badger]]-based carbine appears as the "Chimera". Befitting its name, the in-game model is a hybrid; it is a variant of the "Bruen Ops" family and uses the same style of [[SIG-Sauer MCX]] bolt, using a bufferless upper/lower system (the upper also features the MCX style of charging handle port). In addition, the lower receiver has elements of the early AAC Honey Badger, while the right side of the upper receiver and the handguard resemble the current Q model.

It is integrally suppressed by default, and has three non-suppressed barrel options. It is briefly available in singleplayer during the opening mission (with the “10" SA Phoenix” barrel), but it serves no practical use as there are no enemies to effectively combat with it. It is available in multiplayer in Season 1 as an in-season reward.

As with the KRISS Vector above, firing the weapon will not produce tracers and killing enemies with the Honey Badger hides skull indicators, thanks to its use of .300 AAC Blackout ammunition.

=="M4"==
A fully-automatic custom [[AR-15]]-type carbine with a 12" barrel appears as the "M4". The lower receiver is from a [[SIG-Sauer 516 Series|SIG 516]]/SIG M400 while the upper most closely resembles a Mega Arms GTR-3H. It has a Geissele SMR MK16/MK8-style hybrid handguard (likely intended to make the gun resemble a Geissele URG-I-fitted M4A1 as used by USASOC), a stylized Magpul CTR stock and a SIG charging handle. The front sight is stylized Midwest Industries flip up and the rear one is a hybrid between KAC micro rear, MaTech BUIS and base MP7 rear sight. The muzzle is KAC birdcage and the grip is A2. It feeds from stylized windowed PMAGs in spite of the previous game having a proper non-stylized model. A 40 round metal magazine that holds 45 rounds and a quadstack Surefire MAG5-60 are also available.

The “14" Carbine Shroud Barrel” attachment gives it an AR carbine plastic handguard/14.5" stepped barrel/AR front sight with an added rail underneath and a small section of picatinny rail mounted on the right side of the gas block, essentially turning it into a pseudo-[[M4A1]]. The “Tempus High Tower 20" Barrel” attachment gives it a KAC M5 RAS/20" barrel/AR front sight, making it into a pseudo-[[M16A3]] when combined with the "Demo Precision Elite Factory" stock. Pairing this barrel with an M203 automatically swaps the rail system for the classic M203 heatshield, previously its own separate attachment in MW19; this also happens on the game's M16, which features this barrel attachment by default.

Other barrel options include the "7.5' Tempus Firebrand", the "Tempus Trench Pro", which retains the same barrel and rail length and swaps the handguard for a black KeyMod one, the "419mm EXF Barrel", a 16 inch barrel paired with an URX 3.1 inspired rail and the "11.5' T-H4 Barrel", which gives it a Daniel Defense Mk 18 rail and a 10.5 inch barrel, despite it being stated as longer.

In-game, it's stated to be manufactured by the fictional Tempus Armament.

==="Flatline"===
The same futuristic VLTOR/Magpul themed M4A1 Carbine from ''[[Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare|Infinite Warfare]]'' appears as the "Flatline" blueprint available for the in-game M4, named after the Epic rarity variant of the same name for the fictional "NV4" assault rifle (although not modeled after the actual variant that appears in that game). While both of the upper and lower receivers are retained, the handguard and sights are not and the muzzle, magazine, and stock are modeled after the ''MWII'''s variant instead, albeit rethemed to better match the NV4 itself.

[[File:AR-15 VLTOR CAS-V Midlength.jpg|thumb|none|400px|AR-15 with VLTOR CAS-V handguard - 5.56x45mm]]

=="FTac Recon"==
Another AR-15 variant, chambered in .458 SOCOM, appears as the "FTac Recon". It is classified as a battle rifle, even though the real .458 SOCOM cartridge isn't a full-powered one.

The rifle appears to be built on an otherwise generic milspec M16 lower, a la the default "M4" in-game, but with aesthetic similarities to the "XRK M4" from ''Modern Warfare'' (based on a Radian Weapons receiver) on the left side around the magazine well. The left side of the upper receiver bears a vague resemblance to a Mega Arms GTR-3H with grooves similar to the JP Enterprises CTR-02, but with said grooves cut in the opposite direction; the right side appears to be based on a Wilson Combat Stripped Billet AR-15 upper or a CMMG MkW-15 upper.

Unlike the 5.56 "M4" seen above, the upper receiver lacks a forward assist, which is reflected in the inspect animation when the operator does a brass check. By default it features what looks like a 12" barrel with an A2 flash hider, a KeyMod handguard based on the BCM KMR, an A2 pistol grip and a Magpul PRS stock. It also feeds from regular black stylized .458 SOCOM PMAG 10 round magazines.
[[File:MW22 FTAC RECON.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The .458 carbine in the loadout screen. The auto sear pin is not present, despite other select fire AR-15 variants correctly featuring this detail.]]

==M14==
Two [[M14]] variants appear in the game. The "SO-14" is a variant classed as a battle rifle. The base chassis of the "SO-14" appears to be based on an M14 SOCOM 16 CQB chassis but with the stock and pistol grip in the more traditional style. It is fitted with an M39 EMR-length gas block. For the first time in the series (and a rarity in most video games), the M14 is select-fire, with semi and full-auto options.

==Mk 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle==
The [[Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]] appears as the "EBR-14", classed as a marksman rifle.

==Marlin Model 336==
The [[Marlin Model 336]] appears as the "Lockwood Mk2", under the marksman rifles class. It is depicted as being chambered in the .45-70 Government cartridge, like the [[Marlin Model 1895]] that previously appeared in ''Modern Warfare'' as the "MK2 Carbine", but this time the shape of the ejection port indicates that it is a Model 336. It features the same basic ammo options as the other marksman rifles; notably, this includes armor-piercing ammo - while .45-70 AP rounds do exist (e.g. Lehigh Defense's X-Treme Penetrator rounds), the ones in-game are visually the same as the other calibers (likely for consistency's sake), with a black-finished case, a silver jacket, and a black spitzer-type point. Realistically, loading spitzer-pointed rounds in a tube magazine could lead to a chain-detonation (i.e. one round's point impacting the next round's primer), blowing the entire magazine tube apart.

==SIG-Sauer MCX VIRTUS==
The [[SIG-Sauer MCX VIRTUS]] appears as the "M13B". It is stylized similarly to the ''Modern Warfare'' version, with one of the differences being that it has a shorter barrel, between 9 and 11.5 inches. While not available in the campaign, it is seen in the hands of Kyle "Gaz" Garrick and Rodolfo Parra when they are NPCs. It was added to multiplayer as part of Season 1 content.

It has 6.75" and 14.5" barrel customization options, both of them with Midwest Industries-style handguards.

=Sniper Rifles=
==Accuracy International AW50==
The [[Accuracy International AW50]] appears as the "Victus XMR"; it is available in Season 1 under the Imperatorium platform. It is worth noting that the AW50 was planned for the original ''[[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare|Modern Warfare]]'' game, but only its code and firing sound (which sounds similar to the M82A1 in that game) are left as the weapon was scrapped, and it wasn't added to the ''Call of Duty'' series proper until ''MWII''.

==Barrett MRAD==
The [[Barrett MRAD]] appears as the "MCPR-300" (standing for "Multi-Caliber Precision Rifle", 300 magnum) under the MRBA weapon platform. Kyle Garrick's and Ghost's MRAD are incorrectly designated as "Victus XMR" in the campaign missions "Recon By Fire" and "Countdown" respectively, and all other MRADs found in the story have the same naming issue.

==Gepard GM6 Lynx==
The [[Gepard GM6 Lynx]] appears as the "Signal 50". It can be given its correct stock pad with the "FSS Echo Stock" attachment. A GM6 can be found atop the prison wall at the end of the "Prison Break" mission.

==Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)==
The [[Heckler & Koch SR9(TC)]] appears as the "LM-S", under the marksman rifles class. It holds 10 rounds in a 5-round magazine by default.

==M24 SWS==
Three [[M24 SWS]] variants appear in the game as separate weapons. The first one is the "SP-R 208", chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO, returning from ''Modern Warfare'', classified as a marksman rifle.
[[File:M24-2.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M24 sniper rifle with 10-round detachable magazine - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:MW22 SPR208.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M24 with a black stock in the loadout screen.]]

===M24 SWS (in FDE chassis)===
A variant chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum in an FDE chassis appears in the sniper rifles class as the "LA-B 330". This is essentially the "ZLR SP-R Overseer" chassis from ''Modern Warfare''. The name appears to imply that this is supposed to be a Long Action receiver, which is correct for the M24.
[[File:MW22 SPR 3.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

===M24 SWS (in custom chassis)===
The "SA-B 50" marksman rifle is another variant in a custom chassis, which is the "XRK SP-LITE 208 Blitz" chassis from ''Modern Warfare'' combined with the buttstock of MW's "XRK SP-TAC 208 Ultimate" chassis. Contrary to its name, which would suggest it is chambered in .50 BMG, the rifle is instead chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum.

==Dillon Aero M134 Minigun==
The handheld [[Dillon Aero M134 Minigun]] from ''Modern Warfare'' returns as the Juggernaut's primary weapon.

An unusable Minigun with a slotted flash hider can be found inside a building in the campaign mission "Kill or Capture".

==FightLite MCR==
A tan [[Ares Shrike#Ares-16 AMG|FightLite MCR]] appears in-game as the "556 Icarus." The MCR is commonly used by Shadow Company as their standard LMG.

==Heckler & Koch HK21==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] appears in-game as the "RAPP H". It has a stylized handguard and barrel, and incorrectly has the aforementioned [[PTR 9KT]]-style trigger group (this time with normal S-E-F markings), though it can be fitted with a more appropriate Navy-style trigger group with the "LMK64 Grip" attachment.

In the campaign, it's correctly used by the Mexican Army.

==IWI Negev NG7==
The [[IWI Negev NG7]] appears in-game as the "SAKIN MG38." It is relatively uncommon in the story, though one is present in the bed of Price's truck during "Violence and Timing."

==RPK==
The [[RPK]] appears in the game. It appears to be a Romanian clone, the PM md. 64, noted by the carrying handle and the ribbed receiver cover. Customization options include [[AKM]]-style barrels and stocks, giving it a similar appearance to certain RPK-receiver style AKs such as the Molot Vepr FM 7.62x39 or Century Arms BFT47, ribbed top cover and other details aside.
[[File:AES 10B.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Century Arms AES 10B - 7.62x39mm. This is a US import version of the Romanian PM md. 64]]

==SIG-Sauer MG 338==
The [[SIG-Sauer MG 338]]'s 2020 prototype returns from ''Modern Warfare'', still named the "RAAL MG" (which stands for Reconnaissance Auxiliary Assault Lightweight Machine Gun). It uses essentially the same model from the previous game complete with the SIG-Sauer LMG style stock and the A2 grip.

==Steyr AUG HBAR-T==
The [[Steyr AUG HBAR|Steyr AUG HBAR-T]] appears in the game as the "HCR 56". It feeds by default from the same 60 round magazines that were available for it in ''Modern Warfare'', which are based on the Magpul D60 drum, however this seem to be non-STANAG as the NATO variant of the AUG doesn't have a bolt release (which the gun in the game incorrectly features).

[[File:MWII M4 CG (0).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Carl Gustaf, as seen in the launcher camo customization tab.]]

==FGM-148 Javelin==

==FN40GL==
The [[FN40GL]] appears as the underbarrel grenade launcher option for the SCAR variants, identified as "Hellscream 40mm" in the Gunsmith, though it's called "M203" when picking up a SCAR from the ground.
[[File:Scar-L std 40gl.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN40GL mounted on a SCAR-L - 40x46mm]]

==GP-25==
A stylized [[GP-25]] appears as the underbarrel grenade launcher option for the AK/Kastov rifles, although like the FN40GL it is mislabeled as an M203 on dropped weapons featuring this attachment.
[[File:Gp-25 1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|GP-25 - 40mm]]
[[File:MWII GP-25 (0).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Closeup of the GP-25 underneath an AKMS mockup.]]

==LMT M203==
The [[LMT M203]] grenade launcher is available as an underbarrel option, under the name "SPW 40mm", despite being identified as an M203 when picking up a dropped weapon equipped with it.
[[File:LMT M203 9inch.jpg|thumb|none|350px|LMT M203 2003 L2B - 40x46mm]]

==Milkor AV-140 MSGL==
The [[Milkor Mark 14|Milkor AV-140 MSGL]] appears in the campaign and Special Operations as the "REV G-80", firing high-explosive grenades only. As with its ''Modern Warfare'' counterpart, it reloads through the use of a fictional grenade launcher speedloader, regardless of how many grenades were shot prior to reloading. Its designation refers to its revolver-type design and its original design date before its actual development for the SADF, which is 1980.

The AV-140 MSGL is given to Garrick in "Violence and Timing," and some MSGLs can be found in the watchtower at the end of the "Prison Break" mission.

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] is once again featured as a standard rocket launcher in ''MWII'', under the same name. Aiming down the sights now tilt the launcher diagonally as if they are shouldering the weapon, akin to [[Far Cry 3]] and its sequels. It is mainly used by the Las Almas cartel and the Mexican army.

[[File:MWII RPG-7 (0).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the RPG-7.]]

==SA-25==
The "PILA", an [[SA-25]] with an [[SA-14 Gremlin]]'s spherical battery coolant unit, returns from ''Modern Warfare'' with a different style of scope. It retains the ability to reload tubes, and dumbfire and lock on to ground vehicles.
[[File:9K333 Verba.jpg|thumb|none|450px|SA-25 (9K333 Verba) - 72mm]]

=Explosives=
==Model 7290 Flashbang Grenade==
A tooltip showing a [[Model 7290 flashbang grenade]] is seen in the gameplay trailer. It appears to be incorrectly dubbed the "[[M84 stun grenade|M84 Flash]]".
[[File:Model 7290.jpg|thumb|none|140px|Model 7290 flashbang grenade]]

==M7 Spider==
A heavily stylized M7 Spider mine is featured as the "Cluster Mine".

=Mounted Weapons=
==Browning M2HB==
Various vehicles have turret-mounted [[Browning M2HB]]s, returning from the previous game.
[[File:BrowningM2 plain.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG]]
[[File:MWII M2HB (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|As with the previous game, the character runs the Browning's action when first manning it, which is the correct military procedure.]]

[[File:M197Gatling.jpg|thumb|none|450px|General Dynamics M197 Vulcan - 20mm]]

==General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger==
A-10 Thunderbolt IIs return as the "Precision Airstrike" killstreak, performed with their [[General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger]] rotary cannons.
[[File:GAU-8 Avenger contrast.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|General Electric GAU-8/A Avenger - 30x173mm]]

==M230 Chain Gun==
AH-64D Apaches return as an attack helicopter in-game. They mount [[M230 Chain Gun]]s.

[[File:MWII AH-64 (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The AH-64 now apparently with both airframes' M230 autocannons - though only the one in the actual correct mounting position is actually used.]]

==FN M240B==
The [[M240B]] machine gun appears as the Sentry Gun killstreak in multiplayer; one of the few instances of the Sentry Gun not being some kind of a minigun in the series. A stockless M240 is used in the RWS turret atop the Merkava style tank.
[[File:M240-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN M240B with newer style lower handguard - 7.62x51mm NATO]]

==Minigun==
Some kind of minigun is mounted on the "Wheelson" UGV killstreak unlike the auto grenade launchers used on the wheelsons in ''Modern Warfare''.

== Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B ==
Mil Mi-24 "Hind" helicopters appear in ''MWII'' and feature the nose mounted [[Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B]] rotary cannons. Compared to the earlier games, the Mi-24 also correctly only has this chin gun, whereas unused 23/30mm twin GSh cannons were present in the original trilogy.
[[File:YakB-127mm.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Yakushev-Borzov Yak-B - 12.7x108mm]]

=Unusable Weapons=
==Kimber / Colt M1911 hybrid==
The previous game's [[Kimber Custom TLE/RL II]] is seen in a cartel member's waistband in the campaign during the mission "El Sin Nombre". It is modeled after the "Callous" blueprint from ''Modern Warfare'', which has a classic [[M1911 pistol series|Colt M1911]]-style slide with rear vertical serrations. This is a low quality model and it's unusable by the player.
[[File:RLII.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Kimber Custom TLE/RL II - .45 ACP]]
[[File:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]
[[File:1911 mw22.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The 1911 in the cartel member's belt.]]

==STI 2011==
An unusable STI 2011 resembling the [[STI Tactical|STI Tactical 5.0]] can be seen on a table during the mission "Recon by Fire". It appears to be the "Corax" blueprint from ''Modern Warfare'', which has a [[SIG-Sauer 1911]] style skeletonized trigger.
[[File:STI Tac.jpg|thumb|none|350px|STI Tactical 5.0 - 9x19mm / .40 S&W / .45 ACP]]

==AK-47==
A portrait of Diego inside the Las Almas mansion has two [[AK-47]]s crossed in the background. These appear to be the "Golden Dragon" blueprint from ''MW19''.

'''''Resident Evil: Apocalypse''''' is the second installment in the ''[[Resident Evil (disambiguation)|Resident Evil]]'' film series. The 2004 survival horror sequel once again stars [[Milla Jovovich]] as Alice, who struggles to find out what the Umbrella corporation has done to her as she leads survivors in an escape from a Raccoon City infested with the dead. Directed by [[Alexander Witt]], the film is directly inspired by ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' with several characters from the video game appearing including Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]), Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]), and Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]).

{{spoilers}}
=Handguns=
==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] is seen used several times during the film, by numerous characters, including S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella personnel (in the original ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game, S.T.A.R.S. members all carried Beretta 92s). Peyton Wells ([[Razaaq Adoti]]), Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]) and Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]) all use a 92FS. Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) also uses one near the end of the film. Cain ([[Thomas Kretschmann]]) also uses one at the end of the movie.

==Smith & Wesson 5946==
Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]) uses the [[Smith & Wesson 5946]] as her sidearm throughout the film, instead of her [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from the ''Resident Evil'' video games. She appears to carry two 5946s - One in a thigh holster and one in a shoulder holster. She later hands one to Terri Morales ([[Sandrine Holt]]) when they enter the school.
[[Image:S&W5946.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson 5946 - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:REA 3001.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jill grabs her S&W and extra mags. Odd choice of weapon, considering that she carried a Beretta 92FS in the games, and some S.T.A.R.S. members in the movie already carry Berettas.]]

==Smith and Wesson 629 Classic==
When the survivors enter a church to take refuge from the zombies, they find Mackenzie ([[Geoffrey Pounsett]]) armed with a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic]] hiding there. Jill ([[Sienna Guillory]]) uses his gun to shoot at the same licker until it's empty, and then discards it. In a continuity error, this gun becomes a [[Smith & Wesson Model 13]] in several instances. The 629 Classic in the movie is a nod to ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' where it functions as Jill's magnum revolver.

[[Image:RE2_5008.jpg|thumb|601px|none|Jill Valentine holding both the 629 and her 5906.]]

==Para-Ordnance P14 Limited==
Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) carries twin [[Para-Ordnance P14]] pistols as her sidearms. After she crashes through a church window, Alice uses her P-14s to blow up the motorcycle with a licker on it. According to the armorer, they shaved the beaver-tails and cleared up the back edges of her handguns. Later in the movie Cain confiscates her P-14s, then uses one against an approaching zombie horde. After some pointless kills he tries to commit suicide, but the gun clicks on an empty chamber. Like in true Hollywood fashion the slide stays in battery instead of locking back when he runs out of ammo.

==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] is briefly seen on the ground in the aftermath of the R.P.D. and S.T.A.R.S. last stand against the zombie horde.
[[Image:Glock173rdGen.jpg|thumb|none|300px|3rd Generation Glock 17 - 9x19mm]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) carries two black oxide finished [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]]s in .44 Magnum caliber.
[[Image:DesertEagle44ModelXIX.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Desert Eagle MK XIX - .44 Magnum. The newer Mark XIX models are most distinguishable by the scope rail mount above the barrel and the taller cocking serrations on the slide. The .44 Magnum version also has a fluted barrel.]]

[[Image:CTRes10.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Actor [[Oded Fehr]] prepares to swing through the air while firing his Desert Eagles in this BTS image.]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX (Gold Finish)==
L.J. ([[Mike Epps]]) carries twin .44 Magnum Gold-plated [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] handguns customized with orange-colored Millett front sights. The Nemesis digital vision specifies that his Desert Eagles are older [[Desert Eagle Mark VII|Mark VII]] models, however the fluted barrel, scope rails, and taller cocking serrations on the slide are all clearly visible in numerous shots. The .44 Magnum chambering is correct, however, given the fluted barrel (.50AE Mark XIXs do not have fluted barrels). This unusual caliber (in American movies) was probably chosen because the film was filmed in Canada.
[[Image:DesertGold44.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Gold-plated Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .44 Magnum]]
[[Image:REA 509.jpg|thumb|none|601px|L.J. shows off his custom Desert Eagles. The lengthened cocking serrations are clearly visible in this image.]]
[[Image:REA_DE_2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|L.J. ([[Mike Epps]]) holds his custom Desert Eagles in the air as he is confronted by the Nemesis. Note the fluted barrel and scope rails, both also indicative of the newer Mark XIX Desert Eagle.]]
[[Image:REA 530.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The Nemesis digital vision specifies that his Desert Eagles are (incorrectly) Mark VII models, but correctly chambered in .44 Magnum. This is still an improvement, since the previous film mistook an SMG for an assault rifle.]]
[[Image:CTRes4.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Charles Taylor shows off one of the two L.J. Desert Eagle. Again, note the fluted barrel and scope rail.]]

=Shotguns=
==High Standard K-1200 Riot Shotgun==
Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) grabs a [[High Standard Flite King Shotgun Series‎|High Standard K-1200 Riot Deluxe]] Shotgun with rifle sights, out of a police car in the abandoned streets in a flashback to the [[Resident Evil (2002 Film)|first film]]. She is later seen with the shotgun as she walks to a surplus store.

==Armscor M30SAS==
A S.T.A.R.S. officer offers L.J. ([[Mike Epps]]) an [[Armscor M30 Series Shotguns|Armscor M30SAS]] shotgun when he encounters them in the theater. He declines, showing off his golden Desert Eagles instead.

==Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"==
Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) carries and uses a [[Mossberg 590|Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"]] throughout the film. She is seen wielding the shotgun one-handed and most notably uses this weapon to blow away two lickers in the church.

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] is seen in hands of several S.T.A.R.S. members. In the games the MP5A3 was used by the R.P.D. SWAT, so its appearance in the movie is game-accurate.
[[Image:H&KMP5A3wSurefire628.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with surefire weaponlight - 9x19mm]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
In addition to carrying two [[Para-Ordnance P14|P14.45]]s, Alice also carries two [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]]s which had the upper receivers finished in silver by the armorer and fitted with modified [[Heckler & Koch SP89]] grips (likely due to the lack of two handed firing). These are carried by Alice in a dual shoulder rig. She most notably uses these weapons to shoot at a licker in the church, and trap it under a crucifix.

==Heckler & Koch UMP-9==
Peyton Wells ([[Razaaq Adoti]]) carries a [[Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP-9]] with SureFire light in the gate scene. For some reason he abandons the weapon while being medicated by Jill. A [[Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP-9]] is briefly seen carried by an Umbrella soldier that Alice takes out.

=Assault Rifles=
==SIG SG 552==
A commonly used rifle in the movie is the [[SIG SG 552]], most of the Umbrella "closed helmets" use them, as well as most of the S.T.A.R.S. officers seen in the film.
[[Image:SIG SG552.jpg‎|thumb|450px|none|SIG SG 552 - 5.56x45mm]]

==Colt M4A1==
Another commonly used rifle is the [[Colt M4A1]], used primarily by the S.T.A.R.S. There were several officers using this weapon during the shootout with the approaching zombies early on in the film. When L.J. meets the S.T.A.R.S., he is greeted with a few M4A1s to the face.

==IMI Tavor TAR-21==
Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]) is armed with an [[CTAR-21|IMI Tavor CTAR-21]] which is the compact version of the TAR-21 which Nicholai wields with an ITL MARS red dot sight, a flashlight and a laser sight. Yuri Loginova ([[Stefan Hayes]]) (and later Carlos Olivera) also uses a [[Tavor TAR-21]] with an ELCAN scope, normally mounted on Canadian Military C7s but since filming for this movie was done in Canada, they would be available.

[[Image:Tavortav2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) inspects the weapons cases with Yuri's rifle.]]

==Micro Galil==
Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) carries a [[Micro Galil]] as his primary weapon in the movie, instead of his [[Colt M4A1|M4A1]] from ''Resident Evil 3''. Olivera uses his Galil with C-More red dot sight, a lasersight, a flashlight and a vertical foregrip. The handguard is an Israeli made polymer version with Picatinny rail on the bottom. The gas tube was replaced with a modular gas tube with rail built into the top. Apparently, some S.T.A.R.S. officers and several Umbrella soldiers with the helmets on had this weapon as well.

==Heckler & Koch G36C==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36C]] is seen in the hands of Umbrella biohazard men re-opening the Hive at the beginning of the film as well as various S.T.A.R.S members and Umbrella guards.

=Sniper Rifles=
==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare==
A S.T.A.R.S. sniper (Frank Chiesurin) uses an [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] while behind a sign on the roof of a theater. He uses it to snipe zombies across the street, as well as save L.J. from attack.

==Barrett M82A1==
An Umbrella sniper (cameo role of director [[Alexander Witt]]) on top of Raccoon City's city hall (Actually Toronto City Hall) uses a [[Barrett M82A1]]. He was about to use it to shoot Carlos when Alice popped up and surprised the man. Apparently the scope of the gun, in the movie, had some sort of advanced computer targeting system that compensates for wind direction, wind speed, and target distance.

=Machine Guns=
==M60==
During the shootout with the overrunning zombies, a S.T.A.R.S. officer ([[Al Vrkljan]]) can be seen (maybe for a second) with an [[M60]] with the bipods folded.
[[Image:M60.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M60 machine gun 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:RE2 32005.jpg|thumb|none|600px|During the shootout with the overrunning zombies, a S.T.A.R.S. officer ([[Al Vrkljan]]) can be seen (in the foreground) with an [[M60]].]]
[[Image:REApBTS_17.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Charles Taylor has the M60 on his lap during the interview.]]

==Nemesis' Minigun==
A customized [[Minigun]] is one of the two weapons The Nemesis ([[Matthew G. Taylor]]) uses. This weapon is fitted with shortened barrels, individual flash hiders for each of the barrels, a green laser sight, custom aluminum barrel shroud and furniture featuring a fictitious ammo counter on the side. This is the first movie Minigun designed to be fired one handed. Unlike previous films featuring these weapons, the ammunition is fed from the weapon offscreen rather than carried on the actor's back. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the ammo chute leads into the back of his trench coat. In the film's context, the weapon supposedly has 5000 rounds loaded, though the two ammo cans left in the shipping container imply that he has no more than 400 rounds minus the three or four linked rounds he left behind. In reality the gun had about 200 rounds loaded in the ammo chute, and the armorers attached a larger ammo can to the chute for scenes where they needed more sustained fire. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the end of the chute is secured inside the actor's trench coat. In a continuity error, when he sets down his weapons for the final hand-to-hand fight with Alice, the Minigun doesn't have a chute installed at all, however, it does moments later when he uses it to destroy the Umbrella security detail. In addition to the weapon's fake ammo counter, the Nemesis also has a HUD that shows his health and weapon status for both the Minigun and the rocket launcher much like in a first person shooter. Surprisingly, the ammo displayed on the weapon's ammo counter is not only consistent with what is displayed in Nemesis' POV HUD shots, but the numbers also imply a consistent on screen fire rate of about 4200 RPM. In reality, the weapon was firing at a much slower rate, probably no more than the 1250 RPM of the Predator/T2 gun. The film's armorer, ([[Al Vrkljan]]), has commented the following on our forum -

''"The M134 mini was really simple, we just made our own barrels at 12 inches and also made a shorter barrel clamp.''
''Then the rest was furniture machined from aluminum to make it lighter, 60-80 pounds total, then we attached a feed chute that held 200 rounds in the chute and there you have it. It was fired by one arm, so take that Arnie.''

''For extended firing, the ammo can was below camera frame, the longest burst was when he was taking out the STARS unit, did about 15 seconds straight and that was a very long 15 seconds, funny watching the brass and link build up around his ankles."''

=Launchers=
==Nemesis' "U-RL-012" Rocket Launcher==

Alongside his Minigun, Nemesis is armed with his signature Rocket Launcher from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. The shipping crate for this weapon is labeled U-RL-012, no doubt a model number standing for "Umbrella Rocket Launcher." According to Nemesis' HUD the weapon is loaded with six rockets, which is precisely how many he fires in the film before being killed (it is also the number of rockets Nemesis has in the games whenever he appears). Like in RE3, the movie launcher bears resemblance to the [[FIM-92 Stinger]].

The launcher (like many movie rocket or missile launchers in movies) is a custom prop, designed and built from scratch. Since no rocket launcher in Hollywood actually fires real deadly rockets, the launcher has to only hold the 'flash' launch mechanism that the special effects people/pyrotechnicians require for the shot.

[[Image:REA_Rocketlauncher.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The Nemesis fires his Rocket Launcher.]]

==M203 Grenade Launcher==
What looks like an [[M203 grenade launcher]] is seen on one of the M16A2s in the Umbrella helicopter.

=Other=
==Surplus Store Guns==
When Alice breaks into a surplus store, she is seen grabbing her pistol from underneath a glass counter, which also displays several other pistols and revolvers.
[[Image:REA 3015.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Several revolvers and pistols are seen underneath the glass counter.]]

==Helicopter Machine Guns==
Umbrella helicopters are seen opening fire on Alice with their machine guns. These are most likely non-firing props with the muzzle flashes added in post-production. This particular sequence was inspired by the opening cutscene from ''[[Resident Evil: Code Veronica]]'', where Claire Redfield runs away from an Umbrella attack helicopter.

[[Image:REA 3096.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alice avoids the helicopter's machine gun fire, like Claire from ''Code Veronica''.]]

==Flamethrower==
When Nemesis fires the "U-RL-012" Rocket Launcher to blow-up the roof, the flamethrowers were used by cinematographers to imitate the large flame of "explosion".
[[Image:Resident Evil Apocalypse flamethrower.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Numerous flamethrowers are seen at the left.]]

'''''Resident Evil: Apocalypse''''' is the second installment in the ''[[Resident Evil (disambiguation)|Resident Evil]]'' film series. The 2004 survival horror sequel once again stars [[Milla Jovovich]] as Alice, who struggles to find out what the Umbrella corporation has done to her as she leads survivors in an escape from a Raccoon City infested with the dead. Directed by [[Alexander Witt]], the film is directly inspired by ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' with several characters from the video game appearing including Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]), Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]), and Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]).

{{spoilers}}
=Handguns=
==Beretta 92FS==
The [[Beretta 92FS]] is seen used several times during the film, by numerous characters, including S.T.A.R.S. and Umbrella personnel (in the original ''[[Resident Evil]]'' game, S.T.A.R.S. members all carried Beretta 92s). Peyton Wells ([[Razaaq Adoti]]), Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]) and Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]) all use a 92FS. Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) also uses one near the end of the film. Cain ([[Thomas Kretschmann]]) also uses one at the end of the movie.

==Smith & Wesson 5946==
Jill Valentine ([[Sienna Guillory]]) uses the [[Smith & Wesson 5946]] as her sidearm throughout the film, instead of her [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from the ''Resident Evil'' video games. She appears to carry two 5946s - One in a thigh holster and one in a shoulder holster. She later hands one to Terri Morales ([[Sandrine Holt]]) when they enter the school.

==Smith and Wesson 629 Classic==
When the survivors enter a church to take refuge from the zombies, they find Mackenzie ([[Geoffrey Pounsett]]) armed with a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic]] hiding there. Jill ([[Sienna Guillory]]) uses his gun to shoot at the same licker until it's empty, and then discards it. In a continuity error, this gun becomes a [[Smith & Wesson Model 13]] in several instances. The 629 Classic in the movie is a nod to ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'' where it functions as Jill's magnum revolver.

==Para-Ordnance P14 Limited==
Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) carries twin [[Para-Ordnance P14]] pistols as her sidearms. After she crashes through a church window, Alice uses her P-14s to blow up the motorcycle with a licker on it. According to the armorer, they shaved the beaver-tails and cleared up the back edges of her handguns. Later in the movie Cain confiscates her P-14s, then uses one against an approaching zombie horde. After some pointless kills he tries to commit suicide, but the gun clicks on an empty chamber. Like in true Hollywood fashion the slide stays in battery instead of locking back when he runs out of ammo.

==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] is briefly seen on the ground in the aftermath of the R.P.D. and S.T.A.R.S. last stand against the zombie horde.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) carries two black oxide finished [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]]s in .44 Magnum caliber.
[[Image:DesertEagle44ModelXIX.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Desert Eagle MK XIX - .44 Magnum. The newer Mark XIX models are most distinguishable by the scope rail mount above the barrel and the taller cocking serrations on the slide. The .44 Magnum version also has a fluted barrel.]]

[[Image:CTRes10.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Actor [[Oded Fehr]] prepares to swing through the air while firing his Desert Eagles in this BTS image.]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX (Gold Finish)==
L.J. ([[Mike Epps]]) carries twin .44 Magnum Gold-plated [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] handguns customized with orange-colored Millett front sights. The Nemesis digital vision specifies that his Desert Eagles are older [[Desert Eagle Mark VII|Mark VII]] models, however the fluted barrel, scope rails, and taller cocking serrations on the slide are all clearly visible in numerous shots. The .44 Magnum chambering is correct, however, given the fluted barrel (.50AE Mark XIXs do not have fluted barrels). This unusual caliber (in American movies) was probably chosen because the film was filmed in Canada.

[[Image:REA 530.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The Nemesis digital vision specifies that his Desert Eagles are (incorrectly) Mark VII models, but correctly chambered in .44 Magnum. This is still an improvement, since the previous film mistook an SMG for an assault rifle.]]
[[Image:CTRes4.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Charles Taylor shows off one of the two L.J. Desert Eagle. Again, note the fluted barrel and scope rail.]]

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] is seen in hands of several S.T.A.R.S. members. In the games the MP5A3 was used by the R.P.D. SWAT, so its appearance in the movie is game-accurate.
[[Image:H&KMP5A3wSurefire628.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with surefire weaponlight - 9x19mm]]

[[Image:RE2 32005.jpg|thumb|none|601px|The S.T.A.R.S. member on the near left is armed with the [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]].]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
In addition to carrying two [[Para-Ordnance P14|P14.45]]s, Alice also carries two [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]]s which had the upper receivers finished in silver by the armorer and fitted with modified [[Heckler & Koch SP89]] grips (likely due to the lack of two handed firing). These are carried by Alice in a dual shoulder rig. She most notably uses these weapons to shoot at a licker in the church, and trap it under a crucifix.

==Heckler & Koch UMP-9==
Peyton Wells ([[Razaaq Adoti]]) carries a [[Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP-9]] with SureFire light in the gate scene. For some reason he abandons the weapon while being medicated by Jill. A [[Heckler & Koch UMP|Heckler & Koch UMP-9]] is briefly seen carried by an Umbrella soldier that Alice takes out.

=Rifles=
==SIG SG 552==
A commonly used rifle in the movie is the [[SIG SG 552]], most of the Umbrella "closed helmets" use them, as well as most of the S.T.A.R.S. officers seen in the film.
[[Image:SIG SG552.jpg‎|thumb|450px|none|SIG SG 552 - 5.56x45mm]]

==Colt M4A1==
Another commonly used rifle is the [[Colt M4A1]], used primarily by the S.T.A.R.S. There were several officers using this weapon during the shootout with the approaching zombies early on in the film. When L.J. meets the S.T.A.R.S., he is greeted with a few M4A1s to the face.

==IMI Tavor TAR-21==
Nicholai Ginovaeff ([[Zack Ward]]) is armed with an [[CTAR-21|IMI Tavor CTAR-21]] which is the compact version of the TAR-21 which Nicholai wields with an ITL MARS red dot sight, a flashlight and a laser sight. Yuri Loginova ([[Stefan Hayes]]) (and later Carlos Olivera) also uses a [[Tavor TAR-21]] with an ELCAN scope, normally mounted on Canadian Military C7s but since filming for this movie was done in Canada, they would be available.

[[Image:Tavortav2.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) inspects the weapons cases with Yuri's rifle.]]

==Micro Galil==
Carlos Olivera ([[Oded Fehr]]) carries a [[Micro Galil]] as his primary weapon in the movie, instead of the [[Colt M4A1 Carbine|M4A1]] from ''Resident Evil 3''. Olivera uses his Galil with C-More red dot sight, a lasersight, a flashlight and a vertical foregrip. The handguard is an Israeli made polymer version with Picatinny rail on the bottom. The gas tube was replaced with a modular gas tube with rail built into the top. Apparently, some S.T.A.R.S. officers and several Umbrella soldiers with the helmets on had this weapon as well.

==Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"==
Alice ([[Milla Jovovich]]) carries and uses a [[Mossberg 590 "Compact Cruiser"]] throughout the film. She is seen wielding the shotgun one-handed and most notably uses this weapon to blow away two lickers in the church.

What looks like an [[M203 grenade launcher]] is seen on one of the M16A2s in the Umbrella helicopter.

[[Image:REApBTS_17.jpg|thumb|none|451px|Charles Taylor has the M60 on his lap during the interview.]]

==Barrett M82A1==
An Umbrella sniper (cameo role of director [[Alexander Witt]]) on top of Raccoon City's city hall (Actually Toronto City Hall) uses a [[Barrett M82A1]]. He was about to use it to shoot Carlos when Alice popped up and surprised the man. Apparently the scope of the gun, in the movie, had some sort of advanced computer targeting system that compensates for wind direction, wind speed, and target distance.

==Nemesis' Minigun==
A customized [[Minigun]] is one of the two weapons The Nemesis ([[Matthew G. Taylor]]) uses. This weapon is fitted with shortened barrels, individual flash hiders for each of the barrels, a green laser sight, custom aluminum barrel shroud and furniture featuring a fictitious ammo counter on the side. This is the first movie Minigun designed to be fired one handed. Unlike previous films featuring these weapons, the ammunition is fed from the weapon offscreen rather than carried on the actor's back. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the ammo chute leads into the back of his trench coat. In the film's context, the weapon supposedly has 5000 rounds loaded, though the two ammo cans left in the shipping container imply that he has no more than 400 rounds minus the three or four linked rounds he left behind. In reality the gun had about 200 rounds loaded in the ammo chute, and the armorers attached a larger ammo can to the chute for scenes where they needed more sustained fire. In wide shots where Nemesis doesn't fire the weapon, the end of the chute is secured inside the actor's trench coat. In a continuity error, when he sets down his weapons for the final hand-to-hand fight with Alice, the Minigun doesn't have a chute installed at all, however, it does moments later when he uses it to destroy the Umbrella security detail. In addition to the weapon's fake ammo counter, the Nemesis also has a HUD that shows his health and weapon status for both the Minigun and the rocket launcher much like in a first person shooter. Surprisingly, the ammo displayed on the weapon's ammo counter is not only consistent with what is displayed in Nemesis' POV HUD shots, but the numbers also imply a consistent on screen fire rate of about 4200 RPM. In reality, the weapon was firing at a much slower rate, probably no more than the 1250 RPM of the Predator/T2 gun. The film's armorer, ([[Al Vrkljan]]), has commented the following on our forum -

''"The M134 mini was really simple, we just made our own barrels at 12 inches and also made a shorter barrel clamp.''
''Then the rest was furniture machined from aluminum to make it lighter, 60-80 pounds total, then we attached a feed chute that held 200 rounds in the chute and there you have it. It was fired by one arm, so take that Arnie.''

''For extended firing, the ammo can was below camera frame, the longest burst was when he was taking out the STARS unit, did about 15 seconds straight and that was a very long 15 seconds, funny watching the brass and link build up around his ankles."''

==Nemesis' "U-RL-012" Rocket Launcher==

Alongside his Minigun, Nemesis is armed with his signature Rocket Launcher from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. The shipping crate for this weapon is labeled U-RL-012, no doubt a model number standing for "Umbrella Rocket Launcher." According to Nemesis' HUD the weapon is loaded with six rockets, which is precisely how many he fires in the film before being killed (it is also the number of rockets Nemesis has in the games whenever he appears). Like in RE3, the movie launcher bears resemblance to the [[FIM-92 Stinger]].

The launcher (like many movie rocket or missile launchers in movies) is a custom prop, designed and built from scratch. Since no rocket launcher in Hollywood actually fires real deadly rockets, the launcher has to only hold the 'flash' launch mechanism that the special effects people/pyrotechnicians require for the shot.

[[Image:REA 3015.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Several revolvers and pistols are seen underneath the glass counter.]]

==Helicopter Machine Guns==
Umbrella helicopters are seen opening fire on Alice with their machine guns. These are most likely non-firing props with the muzzle flashes added in post-production. This particular sequence was inspired by the opening cutscene from ''[[Resident Evil: Code Veronica]]'', where Claire Redfield runs away from an Umbrella attack helicopter.

==Flamethrower==
When Nemesis fires the "U-RL-012" Rocket Launcher to blow-up the roof, the flamethrowers were used by cinematographers to imitate the large flame of "explosion".

''Trigun'' (Japanese: トライガン, Hepburn: Toraigan) is a Japanese anime based on the manga series written and illustrated by Yasuhiro Nightow. ''Trigun'' was first serialized in Tokuma Shoten's shōnen manga magazine Monthly Shōnen Captain from April 1995 to January 1997. The series continued its publication in Shōnen Gahosha's seinen manga magazine Young King OURs, under the title ''Trigun Maximum'', from October 1997 to March 2007. ''Trigun'' was adapted into a twenty-six episode anime television series by Madhouse; it aired on TV Tokyo from April to September 1998.

Set on a desert planet called "Gunsmoke", populated by small towns of human settlers, ''Trigun'' follows Vash the Stampede, an outlaw known as the "Humanoid Typhoon" with a 60,000,000,000$$ ("double dollar") bounty on his head. The show draws heavily from the Hollywood portrayal of the American frontier (especially Spaghetti Westerns) and relies heavily on guns and gunplay, boasting a wide array of firearms ranging from real-world models to carefully designed fictional firearms. The series is notable for being one of the major anime titles in the U.S. in the late '90s and early 2000s, where it gained (and still maintains) far more popularity than in its native Japan.

A movie spinoff called ''[[Trigun: Badlands Rumble]]'' was released in 2010, which was based on the manga, but has several elements taken from the anime.

'''Note:''''' Many of the weapons in the series are based on real-world designs but have been modified to appear more futuristic. Most modifications are largely cosmetic and will simply be noted as "Futuristic" in the section header.''

'''The following weapons appear in the anime ''Trigun'':'''

{{spoilers}}

__TOC__ 

==Handguns==
===AGL Arms Factory .45 Long Colt (EF Auto Ejecting, Double Action) (Vash's Revolver)===
''Trigun'''s most iconic weapon is a fictional double-action, full-sized revolver chambered for .45 Long Colt. It possesses a 6 o' clock position barrel similar to a [[Mateba Autorevolver]], and a break-top mechanism similar to a [[Smith & Wesson Schofield|Schofield Model 3]].

The revolver's internal operation is somewhat unclear. The barrel mates up with the lowest chamber of the cylinder, but when fired, the hammer does not appear to be striking the round in that chamber. There may be an internal mechanism that redirects the force of the hammer down to the correct round. It appears to be styled in this way to keep the gun looking more conventional, instead of having the more unusual-looking hammers of the Mateba handguns. It sports an auto-ejector and thumb-activated cylinder releases on both sides of the frame, making the weapon very quick and easy to reload and allowing it to be used with either hand. The gun houses a Plant module on the upper part of the gun (hence the 6 o' clock barrel), which when activated transforms it into a super destructive weapon that fires beams capable of destroying entire cities.

At least two of these weapons exist in the series, the first belonging to Vash the Stampede, the other to his brother, Knives. While Knives claims to have "made" them, it is unclear if this means that he designed and built the two revolvers from scratch (suggesting that the "AGL Arms Factory" markings on the barrel weight are simply a coy reference to the "Angel Arms" system), or if they were manufactured by a regular weapons producer and that when Knives claims to have made them he is simply referring to the addition of the Plant modules over the barrels. Whichever is the case, they are most certainly rare specimens, as no other examples outside of these two are seen in the show.

====Vash's AGL Arms .45 Long Colt====
Vash the Stampede's primary weapon throughout the series is his AGL Arms .45 Long Colt with a silver (likely nickel-plated) finish. At the beginning of the series, the weapon has fallen into disrepair (Vash states that it is "three inches off from only ten yards") until episode 3 when the gunsmith Frank Marlon "changes the cylinder and hammer parts" and gives it a general tuneup.

====Knives' AGL Arms .45 Long Colt====
Knives' AGL Arms revolver is almost identical to Vash's weapon, but sports a black (possibly blued) finish, features a slightly different set of grips (which include a lanyard loop in the front), and lacks the fluteless cylinder upgrade of Vash's revolver.

[[File:Trigun0204.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Marianne confronts Cliff. (Ep.02)]]

===Mr. Cliff's pistol===
At the end of episode 2, Mr. Cliff uses a fictional semi-auto pistol with a ring trigger. While it doesn't appear to be based off of any particular weapon, the design is fairly believable and features a cut-away slide similar to many [[Beretta#Pistols|Beretta handguns]].
[[File:Trigun0205.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mr. Cliff aims his pistol. (Ep.02)]]

===Grader Single Hand 2043===
Nicholas Wolfwood carries several fictional [[1911|1911-style]] handguns called the "Grader Single Hand 2043". According to markings on the weapon, it is a .45 ACP handgun, manufactured by a "Grader Arms Co.", based out of July City. The most distinguishing feature about these weapons is the cocking lever; the front of the trigger guard is separate from the rest of the guard and acts as a non-reciprocating cocking lever, similar to the [[Type 77#Type 77B|Norinco Type 77B]]. This allows the shooter to rack the slide with their trigger finger, allowing the pistol to be used completely one-handed. It also sports a ported barrel and skeletal trigger.

===Belief Lightning===
A frequently-seen weapon is a futuristic version of the [[Colt Lightning]] revolver, called the "Belief Lightning", chambered in .45 LC with two ejector rods. It is shown in three different barrel lengths across the series.

==="Frank Marlon Special"===
A large portion of episode 3 centers around the history of a small town where gunsmith Frank Marlon had previously armed the population with custom-built revolvers referred to as "Frank Marlon Specials". The Special lacks a top strap like most cap-and-ball revolvers, features a semi-auto pistol style ring hammer, and its general shape resembles that of the [[Mars Automatic Pistol]]. All of these weapons are identical save for their finishes and some ornately engraved models.

===Lighter Pistols===
The gang leader in episode 3 uses a pair of lighter pistols modeled after the basic design of several [[Colt's Manufacturing Company#Revolvers|early Colt revolvers]] during his introduction. It is never shown if these are actual pistols with a lighter mechanism built in or just a pair of ostentatious cigarette lighters, as he never uses them again.

[[File:Trigun0507.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The waitress aims her pistol at Vash. (Ep.05)]]

===B.D. Neon's Magnum===
Brilliant Dynamites Neon carries a fictional .45 caliber (likely meaning that it's chambered for the .45 Winchester Magnum) magnum pistol that is a combination of the barrel and recoil spring setup from the [[AMC Auto Mag Pistol]], the grip design of a [[.475 Wildey Magnum|Wildey Magnum]], and a series of neon lights wrapped around the chamber.

===Unknown Revolver===
Knives is seen with a revolver other than his AGL Arms .45 Long Colt during a flashback to the destruction of July city. Due to the lighting and the fact that it is only visible for a split second, the weapon cannot be positively identified.
[[Image:Trigun2604.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Knives aims his weapon at Vash. (Ep.26)]]

==Submachine Guns==
===Futuristic IMI Micro Uzi===
Several of the assorted criminals and thugs in the show use futuristic [[Uzi#Micro Uzi|Micro Uzi]] submachine guns. The cocking handle on these submachine guns wraps around the top of the receiver (as opposed to the real Micro Uzi's cocking handle, which is just a hook-shaped protrusion), and the trigger guard has been altered.

===Mr. Cliff's coat guns===
Mr. Cliff carries six small submachine guns hidden in his coat. Each one is rigged up to a metal arm that raises them into position and fires them when he opens his jacket far enough. Despite their effectiveness as a surprise weapon, they are shown to have a very limited ammunition supply.
[[File:Trigun0206.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Mr. Cliff opens his jacket, revealing the submachine guns hidden beneath it. (Ep.02)]]

===Ingram MAC-15===
Several mercenaries, thugs, and lowlifes are seen using a fictional submachine gun variant marked as an "Ingram MAC-15". As the name suggests, the weapon is a compact, closed-bolt design that draws heavily from the [[MAC-10]], but also incorporates elements from the [[Uzi#Uzi|IMI Uzi]]. The MAC-15 appears to come standard with a (removable) vertical foregrip and can be fitted with a skeleton stock.

==Rifles==
===Futuristic AKMS===
Many of the larger gangs in the series make use of a futuristic [[AK-47#AKMS|AKMS]] assault rifle. The weapon is modeled after the custom-built short-barreled AKMS rifles seen in American films, but has been heavily altered around the muzzle and receiver.
[[Image:AKMSPistol.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Custom AKMS with shortened barrel, as seen in ''[[Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines]]'', ''[[Pineapple Express]]'', ''[[Rambo (2008)|Rambo]]'', and ''[[Taken]]'' - 7.62x39mm]]

===Ruth's Rifle===
Bounty hunter Ruth Loose (aka "The Constance Rifle") uses a fictional double--barreled lever-action rifle. The weapon feeds from two separate stick magazines, each one connected to a separate barrel. Operating the lever causes the barrels and magazines to rotate counter-clockwise, ejecting the spent round from the previously-fired barrel and chambering a round in the top-aligned barrel.

===Futuristic M1 Garand===
Several minor characters are seen with a fictionalized rendition of the [[M1 Garand]] rifle. The primary changes to the design are a detachable magazine (which now extends slightly below the stock) and the addition of small heat shields in the gaps between the stock and barrel shroud.

===Rai-Dei's Rifle===
While Rai-Dei the Blade, a member of the Gung-Ho Guns, mostly uses a katana (to go along with his overall samurai theme), the sheath for his katana doubles as a revolver rifle. With a curved barrel, no less.

==Shotguns==
===Futuristic Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"===
Several futuristic [[Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"]] shotguns are seen throughout the show. The forward sling/bayonet mount has been altered from its real-world counterpart, and the receiver has some sort of vent-like structure over its front half. Several short-barreled versions, sans bayonet mount, are also seen throughout the show.

==Machine Guns==
===Machine Gun Multi-Weapon===
The gang leader in episode 3 uses a fictional machine gun as his primary weapon. Racking the shotgun-style pump causes the barrel shroud to open up, revealing a large variety of alternate functions (none of which are actually used onscreen).

===Unidentified Machine Gun===
B.D.N.'s henchmen use an assortment of improvised armored vehicles in episode 7, most of which are armed with machine gun turrets. The only clear shot of these weapons is of the muzzle, making it difficult to positively identify them.

===Monev the Gale's Machine Guns===
Monev the Gale, an assassin hired to kill Vash, uses a massive and complex setup of two rotary machine guns, one mounted to each wrist with the barrels rotating around his forearm. These machine guns are connected to an ammo feed system attached to his back, containing six ammuntition canisters (three per gun) arranged in a circle with the two canisters on each side feeding the machine guns. After the active canisters run dry, the backpack system automatically disengages the active canisters, rotates the assembly until a pair of fresh canisters are lined up, then engages the fresh canisters so that Monev can resume firing.

===Shoulder-Mounted Mult-Weapon System===
After his primary weapon runs dry, Monev the Gale switches to his backup plan: a massive shoulder-mounted rotary machine gun (complete with two sets of barrels that spin in opposite directions and a built-in bullet shield) and rocket launcher combo. Both its size and the the level of devastation it causes suggests that it fires a round on par with most aircraft-mounted cannons.

[[ File:Trigun2102.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Gray fires his machine guns at Wolfwood. (Ep.21)]]

==Other Weapons==
===Milly's Stun-Gun===
Insurance agent Milly Thompson carries with her a large Gatling-style concussion gun, usually concealed under her coat. It fires long projectiles which unfold into 4-armed crosses which have enough force to incapacitate people, or flip over trucks. Despite its design and resemblance to a typical Gatling gun, Milly's Stun-Gun is semi-automatic.

===Punisher===
Nicholas D. Wolfwood and Chapel the Evergreen, two priests who routinely find themselves embroiled in the violence on Gunsmoke, both carry weapon systems called "Punishers" that are disguised as massive crucifixes befitting of their professions.

====Wolfwood's Punisher====
Nicholas D. Wolfwood usually keeps his Punisher concealed with a cloak and several leather straps to hide its nature as a weapon. Its primary weapon is a large machine gun that occupies the long end of the crucifix, while the opposite end houses a rocket launcher. One arm of the cross also contain a storage rack capable of holding five handguns for quick access, while the other houses the ammunition for the machine gun component.

Trigun: Badlands Rumble

2022-11-12T19:47:59Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Trigun Badlands Rumble poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Trigun: Badlands Rumble'' (2010)]]

''Trigun: Badlands Rumble'' is a 2010 Japanese animated action comedy film by Madhouse. It is based on the ''[[Trigun]]'' manga and anime, written by Yasuhiro Nightow. 20 years after meddling into the bank heist of a notorious robber named Gasback, Vash the Stampede is heading towards Macca City. Rumors say that the legendary thief might appear there causing an enormous influx of bounty hunters in the area who want to collect the $$300,000,000 prize for his head. A fiery young woman named Amelia is also searching for Gasback, for reasons unknown.

'''Note:''' ''Many futuristic versions of real firearms and fictional guns from the original ''Trigun'' anime return in this movie. A couple of new radically designed weapons appear in this sequel of sorts, and a few authentic firearm designs also can be seen. Most modifications on real world firearms are largely cosmetic and will simply be noted as "Futuristic" in the section header.''

{{Anime Film Title}}

__TOC__ 

==Handguns==
=== AGL Arms Factory .45 Long Colt (EF Auto Ejecting, Double Action) ===
Vash the Stampede's primary weapon is a top-break double action .45 Colt revolver with a 6'o clock barrel (called "45 Long Colt" by anime fans). ''Badlands Rumble'' uses the manga version of the 45 Long Colt, so the movie gun's barrel looks different from the the tv anime's. Vash is seen reloading his revolver with push type JetLoader speed loaders in the movie. Being the Humanoid Typhoon, Vash is extremely proficient with the gun; being able to shoot fast with perfect accuracy and reload very quickly.

[[Image:Badlands rumble 45 long colt sketches.jpg|thumb|none|400px|45 Long Colt design from the ''Badlands Rumble'' artbook. Note that in Japanese the weapon is simply called "Vash's Gun", not "AGL Arms Factory .45 Long Colt".]]

=== Leaf Arms Lever Action Pistol ===
Female gunslinger Amelia wields a lever action rifle modified into a "Mare's Leg" configuration with the [[Luger Carbine]]'s toggle lock mechanism and fore-end, detachable double stack magazines, and a hexagonal barrel. The pistol is chambered in .22 Hornet, and is fired in semi-automatic mode. According to the movie's artbook sketches, the lever is for securing the magazine while the toggle lock is for chambering a round.

=== Grader Single Hand 2043 ===
Nicholas D. Wolfwood uses a fictional .45 ACP pistol as his sidearm. The front of the triggerguard is separate from the rest and acts as a non-reciprocating cocking lever, allowing the shooter to rack the slide with their trigger finger for completely one-handed usage. A similar mechanism was used on the real Spanish JoLoAr pistol, though the gun otherwise bares little resemblance to the JoLoAr.

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-10T19:49:11Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called Ganados, who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados who infect people with parasites named "Las Plagas". Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TMP Special menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|HUNK with the custom TMP.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Sniper Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which implies that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 Springfield to .223 Remington. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

[[Image:RE4HDSpringfieldReload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon loads his 7-shot Springfield with what looks to be a ''9''-round stripper clip.

[[Image:RE4HDSpringfieldScope2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|View of the more powerful scope. The illuminated dot works wonders for aiming at night or in low-light areas, which are to say about 80% of the visitable locations.]]

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Machine Guns=

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its hand crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

=Heavy Weaponry=

==Cannon==
In the Castle, Leon fires a giant cannon to destroy a gate so he can proceed.

[[Image:Naval cannon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Naval cannon - 18th century]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cannon was left loaded, so Leon doesn't have to ram in ammunition, wads, and place a gunpowder charge inside the breech. He then fires the cannon without igniting the touch hole.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Full view of the cannon.]]

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

[[Image:M61vulcan.jpg|thumb|none|400px|GE M61 Vulcan Cannon - 20x102mm]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry similar to those found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.
===Anti-Aircraft Gun===

=Unusable Guns=

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

[[Image:S&wmodel2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 2 .32 Short]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Smith & Wesson image is marked with #1.]]

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flintlock Pistol image is marked with #2.]]

==Colt 1851 Navy==

==Remington 700 BDL==

In a cutscene, one of Ganados with the village chief Bitores Mendez uses what appears to be a [[Remington 700 BDL]] rifle modified to fire tranquilizer darts to knock out Ada Wong.

[[Image:Resident Evil rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rifle at the left.]]

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

[[Image:RE4armsdealer3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Low-detail H&K SL8-4 with a pistol grip and standard iron sights in place of the rail.]]

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bowgun in the attache case.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Hand Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hand Grenade painted olive drab.]]

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M67 fragmentation grenade with "jungle clip".]]

Upon inspection Leon ponders just where did the Merchant get all these munitions.]]

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort walls, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Molotov Cocktail thrown.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hiding in the village tower isn't exactly safe, as this thrown Molotov implies.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game. The lettering on the side also states the rounds are "Hi-Shok JHP" or Jacketed Hollow Points, which may explain their ability to occasionally explode enemies heads.]]
[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality. This is probably a modeling mistake of the devs since in the ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' games (which released before RE4) .45 ACP is correctly classified as a standard handgun caliber, albeit more powerful than 9mm.]]
[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]
[[Image:RE4shotgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shotgun Shells. The ammo box calls the ammo 12 gauge sabot slugs, although you can't fire a sabot slug from a smoothbore shotgun, they have a wide spread anyway. "Hybred" appears to be a misspelling of Hybrid.]]

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-10T19:26:15Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called Ganados, who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados who infect people with parasites named "Las Plagas". Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TMP Special menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|HUNK with the custom TMP.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Sniper Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which implies that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 Springfield to .223 Remington. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

[[Image:RE4HDSpringfieldReload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon loads his 7-shot Springfield with what looks to be a ''9''-round stripper clip.

[[Image:RE4HDSpringfieldScope2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|View of the more powerful scope. The illuminated dot works wonders for aiming at night or in low-light areas, which are to say about 80% of the visitable locations.]]

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Machine Guns=

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

=Heavy Weaponry=

==Cannon==
In the Castle, Leon fires a giant cannon to destroy a gate so he can proceed.

[[Image:Naval cannon.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Naval cannon - 18th century]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cannon was left loaded, so Leon doesn't have to ram in ammunition, wads, and place a gunpowder charge inside the breech. He then fires the cannon without igniting the touch hole.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Full view of the cannon.]]

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

[[Image:M61vulcan.jpg|thumb|none|400px|GE M61 Vulcan Cannon - 20x102mm]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.
===Anti-Aircraft Gun===

=Unusable Guns=

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

[[Image:S&wmodel2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 2 .32 Short]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Smith & Wesson image is marked with #1.]]

==Remington 700 BDL==

In a cutscene, one of Ganados with the village chief Bitores Mendez uses what appears to be a [[Remington 700 BDL]] rifle modified to fire tranquilizer darts to knock out Ada Wong.

[[Image:Resident Evil rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rifle at the left.]]

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

[[Image:RE4armsdealer3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Low-detail H&K SL8-4 with a pistol grip and standard iron sights in place of the rail.]]

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bowgun in the attache case.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Hand Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hand Grenade painted olive drab.]]

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M67 fragmentation grenade with "jungle clip".]]

Upon inspection Leon ponders just where did the Merchant get all these munitions.]]

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort walls, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Molotov Cocktail thrown.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hiding in the village tower isn't exactly safe, as this thrown Molotov implies.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game. The lettering on the side also states the rounds are "Hi-Shok JHP" or Jacketed Hollow Points, which may explain their ability to occasionally explode enemies heads.]]
[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality. This is probably a modeling mistake of the devs since in the ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' games (which released before RE4) .45 ACP is correctly classified as a standard handgun caliber, albeit more powerful than 9mm.]]
[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]
[[Image:RE4shotgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shotgun Shells. The ammo box calls the ammo 12 gauge sabot slugs, although you can't fire a sabot slug from a smoothbore shotgun, they have a wide spread anyway. "Hybred" appears to be a misspelling of Hybrid.]]

Black Cat

[[File:BC CC DVD R1 cover.jpeg|thumb|right|300px|''Black Cat'' (2005)]]

''Black Cat'' (Japanese: ブラックキャット Hepburn: Burakku Kyatto?) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Kentaro Yabuki. It was originally serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine from July 2000 to June 2004, with the chapters collected into twenty tankōbon volumes by Shueisha. The story centers on an elite assassin named Train Heartnet who withdrew from an international group of peacekeepers called the Chronos Numbers to become a bounty hunter.

The series was adapted into a twenty-four episode anime series by Gonzo studio, which originally aired on Tokyo Broadcasting System (TBS) channel from October 2005 to March 2006.

'''The following firearms were seen in the anime television series ''Black Cat'':'''
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=

== "Hades" ==
Train Heartnet A.K.A. Chronos Number XIII "Black Cat" wields the gun Hades, an ornate .45 caliber top-break revolver made of fictional Orichalcum metal. The gun's design mixes double action revolver and semi-automatic pistol designs, as evidenced by the barrel. Black Cat uses this revolver with extreme accuracy; and because of the gun's super tough construction, he also uses it as an active melee weapon to pistol whip enemies with, as well as block sword blades and even bullets.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called Ganados, who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados who infect people with parasites named "Las Plagas". Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:SteyrTMP.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr TMP - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which implies that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 Springfield to .223 Remington. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship.

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

Upon inspection Leon ponders just where did the Merchant get all these munitions.]]

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort walls, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Molotov Cocktail thrown.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hiding in the village tower isn't exactly safe, as this thrown Molotov implies.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality.

[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Matilda aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon aiming his Matilda.]]

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo.

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-01T09:58:38Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Matilda aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon aiming his Matilda.]]

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Handcannon acquired.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Merchant gives free Handcannons only to those who deserve them. Upgrades sold separately.]]

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.
[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality.

[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo.

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-01T09:46:59Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

[[Image:Ada Blacktail and Breasts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ashley isn't the only one equipped with ballistics.]]

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality.

[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-01T09:44:17Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Red 9 model in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.

Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game.

[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality.

Resident Evil 4

2022-11-01T09:42:17Z

Leon Okazaki:

[[Image:Resident Evil 4.jpg|right|thumb|300px|''Resident Evil 4'' (2005)]]

'''''Resident Evil 4''''' (known as '''''Biohazard 4''''' in Japan) is the fourth main entry in Capcom's popular series. First released in 2005 for the Nintendo Gamecube, it was later ported to the PS2 with some additional content and weaponry but downgraded graphics, followed by a straight PC port in 2007. A version for the Nintendo Wii with Wiimote motion controls, combining the extras of the PS2 version and the graphical quality of the Gamecube version was also released in 2007, and this was later followed by versions for Apple's iPhone in 2009 and iPad in 2010. In 2011 a high-definition version was released on PSN and XBox Live, followed by the "Ultimate HD Edition" for PC in early 2014. In 2021 Capcom announced a new version of Resident Evil 4 that incorporates a first-person perspective along with virtual reality headset and motion controller support via the Oculus Quest 2. The new version of the game will also include redesigned textures with increased resolution.

The main character is Leon Scott Kennedy, previously a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. Six years after Leon's escape from Raccoon City, he is now a special agent working for the US Government and investigating the disappearance of the President's daughter Ashley Graham in a remote area of Spain. He soon finds out that the local villagers have become mindless monsters called "Ganados", who attack any outsiders with vicious intent, and seem to be ruled by a mysterious religious cult called the Los Iluminados. Leon battles his way across this rural part of Spain as he rescues Ashley and foils the cult leader's schemes.

From the PS2 version onwards, an additional campaign called "Separate Ways" was added, which covers what Leon's sometimes-ally Ada Wong was doing during the events of the story. Another non-canon mini-campaign starring Ada, called Assignment: Ada, is available for all versions. Also introduced is The Mercenaries mode, an arcade mode where the player plays as characters from the game and the ''Resident Evil'' universe, each with their own abilities and equipment, and kill enemies in a timed arena to get the highest score possible. The mode, a fleshed out version of the "The Mercenaries - Operation: Mad Jackal" mode from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]'', would prove to be extremely popular, returning for ''[[Resident Evil 5]]'', ''[[Resident Evil 6]]'', even spawning its own spin-off game ''[[Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D]]''. All three side-games are unlocked upon beating the main game once.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=

''Resident Evil 4'' uses a third-person over-shoulder view with a toggle for aiming; player characters cannot shoot or reload outside of aim mode, and cannot move while aiming. To facilitate aiming, a red laser sight is fitted to almost every non-scoped weapon in the game, and will enamate a full solid laser beam when aiming; the only version where this is not the case is the Wii version, which has a large circular crosshair in place of the laser beam to compensate for the less precise motion control.

The game has a grid-based inventory system explained as an attache case the player character is conspicuously not carrying; this has a set number of squares into which all weapons, ammunition and other items except treasure and keys must be fitted. Characters can only equip a single weapon at a time, which is switched out from the inventory screen, though equipping a grenade will also allow every other grenade of that type the player has to be thrown.

Weapons can either be found in the game world or bought from the Merchant, a strange hooded man with a ridiculously hammy voice that will exchange priceless treasures for various hardware. Stores also allow weapons to be upgraded; most weapons can have their power, fire rate, reload speed and capacity upgraded in a series of increments that unlock as the campaign progresses; these do not alter the weapons visually, and often result in absurd magazine sizes. Almost every weapon has a high-priced "exclusive" upgrade which will boost a single aspect of its stats significantly. This system does not apply to Ada's campaign; her weapons are at a pre-set level and cannot be further upgraded.

A few weapons also have optional mods which take up additional inventory space; stocks can be attached to the C96 and TMP to remove the simulated hand sway effect and reduce recoil, and several other weapons can equip scopes.

=Handguns=

=="Silver Ghost"==
Leon Kennedy's starting weapon is the "Handgun", commonly nicknamed "Silver Ghost", and uses Handgun Ammo (9mm). The pistol is of fictional design, which designer Ryoumura Jyoshin stated was inspired by [[H&K USP]], [[Smith & Wesson Sigma|S&W Sigma]], and [[Ruger P-series pistol|Ruger P85]]; the latter makes the most sense, as the Silver Ghost replaced Leon's prior starting handgun, the [[Ruger KP94]], late in the game's development.

The Silver Ghost takes heavy design cues from all three handguns: From the USP it takes the Tactical version's threaded barrel for a sound suppressor, frame, trigger, and slide stop. From the Sigma it borrows its slide, magazine, and magazine well. From the P85 it claims its external hammer, iron sights, and grips with horizontal serrations.

As for its original features: Its slide is stainless steel with vertical slide serrations. Its polymer grip has checkered front and back straps, while the panels are wood framed with polymer inserts (featuring the P85's serrations) and a central medallion on each side. The grips in general strongly resemble the ones featured on [[Resident_Evil_3:_Nemesis#Beretta_92FS_.22Samurai_Edge.22|Jill's Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"]] from ''Resident Evil 3: Nemesis''. It lacks an external safety like a [[Glock]]. A red laser sight has been fixed to the frame, with its pressure switch attached to the grip.

In gameplay the Silver Ghost features average power, decent magazine capacity, good firing speed, and rather shaky aim compared to other handguns. When fully upgraded it receives a x5 critical headshot rate, making it much more likely to kill normal Ganados (and also Las Plagas parasites) in one hit.

"Silver Ghost" is an unofficial name as it originated from the [http://projectumbrella.net/articles/ARMS-Jan-06-Vol-211 January 2006 issue of the ''ARMS'' magazine] (Japanese: アームズ), a Japanese monthly airsoft enthusiast magazine. The issue was a ''Resident Evil 4'' PS2 release special, and contained an article on a custom airsoft reproduction of Leon's Handgun, alongside a staff-written story about how Leon conceived the pistol with Joseph Kendo, a gun maker from Raccoon City who previously designed the custom "Samurai Edge" handguns for the Raccoon City S.T.A.R.S. This story gave the weapon the name of "Silver Ghost" (which was given by Leon in reference of his current condition of being "a spirit pulled out from [his] body"), which became the common name for the gun.

The story was entirely unofficial, and was more or less a short fanfiction, but some elements were apparently official; the in-game weapon's slide is marked with the words "Kendo Custom Shop", meaning that the idea that of the pistol being custom work by Kendo gifted to Leon is likely true. The article was also apparently written based on interviews with ''Resident Evil'' weapon designer Ryoumura Jyoshin (who also designed weapons for Capcom's ''Devil May Cry'' and ''Dino Crisis'' series), meaning that some elements of the story, maybe even the name itself, possibly came straight out of the weapon designer.

Albert Wesker uses a separate Silver Ghost in The Mercenaries, where it is equipped with a suppressor. The suppressor was initially available for Leon's Silver Ghost which can be found in a room with treasures, but was cut in the final game for unknown reasons. Interestingly, Wesker also uses a silenced Silver Ghost in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles''.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Handgun in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==FN Five-seveN==
The Punisher is based off of the [[FN Five-seveN]] handgun. Though chambered in 5.7x28mm in reality, the in-game version uses regular Handgun Ammo (9mm) although in the VR version it correctly uses 5.7x28mm rounds as can be seen in the magazine model. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies, an exaggerated gameplay depiction of the real 5.7x28mm's armor penetrating capabilities. Its in-game model features an altered trigger.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun. When every handgun is upgraded to its maximum, the Punisher is the weakest, but it can penetrate through several enemies. The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
The [[Mauser C96 "Red 9"]] appears under its famous nickname. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 2-2, who also sells an attachable stock that improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful regular handgun in-game, and when coupled with its stock, also the most accurate, but it is also the slowest-firing. The original US edition has an Exclusive firepower rating of 5.0, while the PAL edition raises this to 6.5.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

[[Image:RE4red9left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the stock has a hinge; in real life it can be used as a holster, though Leon does not appear to know this since it still takes up an additional three inventory slots.

==Springfield Armory XD==
The Blacktail is based on the [[Springfield XD]] with grips inspired by the [[FN FNP-9]]. Though using regular Handgun Ammo (9mm), it appears to be a rather bulkier larger caliber version of the XD rather than 9mm, perhaps a design error. It can be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the castle. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Separate Ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. It has a better handling than the standard handgun. Fully upgraded, it is the second fastest firing and highest capacity handgun in the game, with the Matilda being at number 1. The PAL edition improves its maximum Firepower rating from 3.4 to 4.5.

==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
The Matilda is an [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]], the same handgun Leon uses as a rookie cop in ''[[Resident Evil 2]]''. It is unlocked for purchase from the Merchant after successfully completing the game once on Normal difficulty. It is fitted with its stock, which cannot be removed unlike the Red-9 or the TMP. It fires rapid three-round bursts, much faster than in RE2 and probably the closest a video game VP70 gets to the 2200 RPM burst fire of the real VP70M. Like in RE2 the slide incorrectly locks back upon expending all ammo.

Its exclusive upgrade grants a 100-round magazine: heavily exaggerated from its real life capacity, but with its high ROF even 100 rounds run out quickly. The name Matilda is inspired by the character Mathilda from the movie ''[[Leon The Professional|Léon: The Professional]]''.

=="Broken Butterfly"==

The Broken Butterfly is a top-break revolver chambered in Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP, misidentified by the developers as a high pressure magnum cartridge). It is a hybrid of the [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] and [[Colt Single Action Army]]; the barrel and hinge resemble the Model 3 Schofield, while the frame is nearly identical to the Colt SAA. Despite looking like an old fashioned single action revolver, the gun actually has a double action mechanism, which is convenient for rapid firing at big monsters without that thumb-cocking drivel. The Merchant tells the player about the "joy of reloading": because the ejector rod does not completely push out casings, Leon will dump empties behind his back then energetically ''throw'' cartridges into the chambers rather than simply sliding them into position.

It has a loading gate like the SAA which is not necessary given its top-break mechanism, however the gate lid is missing, meaning the cartridge in the chamber aligned with the loading gate is visible. This can mean two things: Either the aligned cartridge can fall entirely out of its chamber while pointing the gun upwards, wasting a good round. Or an expanded fired cartridge can partially fall out and get stuck, which would block the cylinder from turning and jam the gun (both scenarios not happening in the game for obvious reasons).

It can be purchased from the Merchant after Chapter 3–1, but a free one can found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley in Chapter 4-1. Its capacity can be upgraded up to 12, despite being a six shooter. It has a firepower of 50.0 after purchasing its exclusive upgrade.

==Colt M1911==
The Killer7 is a modified Colt [[M1911]] that may be purchased from the Merchant after Leon reaches the Island in Chapter 5-1, and uses Magnum Ammo (.45 ACP). Its model is a reference to the AMT Hardballer in ''[[The Terminator]]'', with a similar large custom laser mounted on top of the slide. It is the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The name of the weapon is a reference to another Capcom game ''Killer7'', in which the character Kaede Smith uses a similarly modified 1911.

==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] appears as the "Handcannon"; equipped with a fictional laser sight, a six chambered cylinder (the real thing has only five chambers), and checkered grips taken from [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Silver_Serpent_.28.44_Magnum_and_.357_Magnum_versions.29|Barry Burton's Silver Serpent]]. It is one of the earliest depictions of the S&W Model 500 in visual media.

This extremely powerful weapon can be unlocked free of charge when the player gets a five-star rank with all characters on all stages in Mercenary Mode. It uses its own unique ammunition (.50 caliber), which are dropped at random by enemies while the gun is in the inventory, and can also be sold at a high price. The first reload animation has Leon loading four rounds manually, which changes to a speed loader reload when the player upgrades its reload speed to max level.

When fully upgraded, the Handcannon acquires infinite ammunition and the second highest damage of any weapon in the game at 99.9, far exceeding the Broken Butterfly and Killer7.

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==
The first shotgun that Leon gets is a [[Remington 870]], more specifically the Express Combo model with its smoothbore barrel installed. May be obtained in one of three ways: on Easy difficulty, the weapon comes in Leon's inventory when the game starts; on Normal or higher difficulties, Leon can find it for free on the second floor of a house in the Ganado Village; alternatively, the player can purchase this weapon from the Merchant from the very beginning. Not an outstanding weapon, nonetheless when fully upgraded it's range exceeds that of any shotgun, enabling it to kill enemies normally out of shotgun range.

Ada uses her own unique version in Separate Ways; it has a stainless steel barrel, a pistol grip, and a foregrip attached to its fore-end. Its damage is average for a shotgun.

===VR version===
[[File:RE4VR 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Remington 870 Express Combo in Resident Evil 4 VR.]]

==Custom Benelli M3 Super 90==
This stainless-steel shotgun is a custom [[Benelli M3]] with elements from the [[Benelli M4]] added to it, notably the collapsible stock and the top rail on the receiver. Called the Riot Gun, it is identical to [[Resident_Evil_(2002_VG)#Benelli_M3_Super_90|Richard Aiken's Assault Shotgun]] from the ''Resident Evil 2002 Remake'' except for the lack of the S.T.A.R.S emblem on the receiver.

Despite the fact that many prefer the tighter spread of the Riot Gun over the Striker's wide-shot, it is rarely used once the Striker becomes available due to its compact design, despite the fact that the Riot Gun has clearly been intentionally modified with the M4 collapsing stock.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1 onwards. It is also used by Leon in The Mercenaries.

===VR version===
In Resident Evil 4 VR, the Riot Gun model has been changed. This version was based on the Remington 870 with an M4S90 stock and an M3S90 handguard.

==Cobray Street Sweeper / Armsel Protecta Hybrid==
A hybrid of a [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and [[Armsel Protecta]] may be purchased from the Merchant, and is called the Striker, which was the original variant of the weapon series. The weapon model lacks the rear lever and the wind-up key of the Street Sweeper, but it also lacks the Armsel Protecta's shell deflector. Functionally, the weapon has the semi-automatic firing of the Street Sweeper and the automatic shell ejection of the Armsel Protecta (which is animated in a bizarre way; the spent shell ejects itself after a short delay instead of immediately when the weapon is fired as it should be).

Being semi-automatic, the Striker fires much faster than the other pump-action shotguns, though Leon has an exaggerated recoil animation after every shot, meaning that there is still a delay between shots. The reload animation has Leon always putting two shells into the gun then giving "something" a crank; realistically, it would've been the wind-up key, but the wind-up key is absent on the in-game model. When upgraded to max level, the Striker's capacity expands to a whopping ''100 rounds''. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip like Ada's shotgun, despite a foldout stock being clearly present.

=Submachine Guns=
==Steyr TMP==
The [[Steyr TMP]], simply called the TMP in-game, may be purchased from the Merchant after the player's first encounter with him. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. Ada also uses the TMP in her cutscenes and campaign, as well as in The Mercenaries mode. The TMP uses its own custom 9mm Ammo, not shared with the handguns.

[[Image:RE4HDTMPAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming with the unmodified TMP shows just why its accuracy is so horrid: Leon and Ada will fire the TMP from the hip if used without the stock, thereby sending shots all over the place and the poor posture makes aiming it very wobbly and awkward.]]

[[Image:RE4HDTMPStockAim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Only with its proprietary stock fitted, will the player characters actually shoulder the thing when firing, making shot grouping a wee bit more consistent at long ranges as well as reducing shaking and sway when trying to line up a shot.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
Chapter 5-3 boss Jack Krauser wields a customized TMP based on the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]]. It is modified with a B&T MP9 folding stock, an RIS attached extended muzzle-end fitted with a different vertical-grip, and a PEQ laser sight. In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries this modified TMP as his weapon. HUNK also uses it in ''Resident Evil: The Umbrella Chronicles'' instead of his MP5A3 from RE2.

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[M1A1 Thompson|Thompson]] submachine gun appears in the game under one of its many famous historical nicknames, the ''Chicago Typewriter''. In the main campaign this weapon is unlocked for Leon by completing the Separate Ways side-story. In Separate Ways the Thompson is unlocked for Ada by finishing the non-canon Assignment Ada (On the GameCube Assignment Ada unlocks the gun for Leon). It may purchased from the Merchant for either 1 million (Leon) or 3 million pesetas (Ada). It comes with unlimited ammo and high damage.

The Chicago Typewriter appears as the M1A1 Thompson from WWII when using Leon's Normal and R.P.D. costumes, and can be redundantly reloaded with 30 round stick magazines. When donning Leon's Mafia costume or playing as Ada in Separate Ways, a second model of the M1A1 Thompson appears: it uses 50 round drum magazines and its handguard is replaced with the slanted foregrip found on the 1921/1928 Thompson variants (the M1A1 receiver is incapable of accepting drum mags in real life without modifications). Both Typewriters incorrectly fire from a closed bolt instead of an open bolt.

=Rifles=

==Springfield M1903A4==
A [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be purchased from the Merchant. It uses Rifle Ammo (.223), which are .223 caliber rounds, suggesting that the Springfield has been converted from .30-06 to .223. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing its accuracy at long range, and it could also be fitted with the Infrared Scope found on the island to help with defeating Regenerators and Iron Maidens. When fully upgraded, the bolt action Springfield's damage greatly exceeds that of its semi-auto counterpart: in the original NTSC editions it increases to 18.0, while in the PAL version and later releases it is raised to a rather absurd 30.0, and rivals the power of the Magnums.

==Heckler & Koch SL8==
A Semi-Auto [[Heckler & Koch SL8]] may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant, and also uses Rifle Ammo. The weapon uses a G36V export optical sight by default. Being a semi-auto it fires significantly faster. Like the bolt-action rifle, a separate custom scope can bought and attached, as well as the Infrared scope found on the Island. This gun is used by Ada in Separate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

=Launchers=

==RPG-7==
The [[RPG-7]] serves as the rocket launcher of the game. The standard single-shot Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, and a free one can be found in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher with red rocket is provided by Ada Wong during the final boss fight to finish off the boss (though they can be killed without using the Special Rocket Launcher, in which case the player can keep the launcher and sell it for extra money on New Game +). The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once. Obviously, the rocket launchers are capable of dealing heavy damage to any creature, often killing bosses with one shot when aimed at their weak spots.

Some Ganados such as Saddler's Army Men are also armed with RPG-7 rocket launchers.

[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cannon was left loaded, so Leon doesn't have to ram in ammunition, wads, and place a gunpowder charge inside the breech. He then fires the cannon without igniting the touch hole.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil cannon 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Full view of the cannon.]]

==Modified Gatling Gun==
At the end of sequence of Leon chasing a Los Iluminados priest in the Castle, the villain jumps on what appears to be an antique [[Gatling Gun]] with its crank and vertical magazine removed, and instead rigged up to the drive system and feed unit of an [[M134 Minigun]]. Later on the island, the same gun emplacements appear, used by enemy mercenaries.

==GE M134 Minigun==
Mike, the helicopter pilot who provides close air support to Leon during the endgame, has twin remote controlled [[GE M134 Minigun]]s mounted on the hull of his bird.

==M61 Vulcan==
In Separate Ways Ada Wong finds a [[M61 Vulcan]] Rotary Cannon which can be used against the gun batteries of a small warship manned by Los Iluminados soldiers.
[[Image:M61vulcan.jpg|thumb|none|400px|GE M61 Vulcan Cannon - 20x102mm]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Gatling Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada finds a M61 Vulcan mounted on an artillery base, which requires a computer chip to operate.]]

==Flak Artillery==
Aside from the Rotary Cannon, Ada can also use an artillery piece to destroy the warship's guns (needs identification).
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flak Cannon.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada and the artillery piece. It also requires a chip to use.]]

==Warship Artillery==
The Los Iluminados have a warship at their disposal, which seems to have been converted from a commercial vessel. It is armed with weaponry that can be found on a US Navy destroyer, though the gun positions are nonsensical for a fighting ship. Ada needs to destroy these armaments to proceed as they deal extreme damage to her.
===Anti-Aircraft Gun===

=Unusable Guns=

==Smith & Wesson Model 2==
An image of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 2]] revolver can be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range, found throughout the game.
[[Image:S&wmodel2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Smith & Wesson Model 2 .32 Short]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Smith & Wesson image is marked with #1.]]

==Flintlock Pistol==
An image of a [[Flintlock Pistol]] can also be seen on the door of the Merchant's shooting range.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 flintlock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flintlock Pistol image is marked with #2.]]

==Colt 1851 Navy==
What appears to be a [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver can be seen on a painting in the castle.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 colt.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The man in the painting with his 1851 Navy.]]

==Remington 700 BDL==

In a cutscene, one of Ganados with the village chief Bitores Mendez uses what appears to be a [[Remington 700 BDL]] rifle modified to fire tranquilizer darts to knock out Ada Wong.

[[Image:Resident Evil rifle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rifle at the left.]]

==Merchant Displays==
The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a [[Steyr SPP]] (or a [[TMP]] missing its fore-grip), a low-detail [[Heckler & Koch SL8]], and a few [[Ruger KP94]] handguns.

[[Image:SteyrSPPPistl.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr SPP with 30-round magazine - 9x19mm]]

[[Image:RE4armsdealer2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Low resolution handguns of some sort at the Merchant's shop.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 New Weapon Acquired.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ruger KP94 handguns can be seen in all special weapon unlock screens. Note the M1A1 Thompson and Steyr TMP submachine guns.]]
[[Image:HK SL8-4.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch SL8-4 - 5.56x45mm. This variant is not imported into the US due to its double stack magazine well, which allows it to use flush fitting 10 round magazines.]]
[[Image:RE4armsdealer3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Low-detail H&K SL8-4 with a pistol grip and standard iron sights in place of the rail.]]

=Other=

==Mine Thrower==
Leon can purchase a Mine Thrower from the Merchant. It fires explosive mine darts that stick to any surface, be it the ground or an enemy. The darts detonate after a few seconds, dealing heavy damage to anything near them. The Mine Thrower feeds from a detachable box magazine, but despite this it has to be "broken open" like a derringer to reload. Once fully upgraded, the Mine Thrower darts have a larger radius and become heat-seeking, just like the Mine Thrower from ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis]]''.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"''Not only will you need cash, but you'll need guts to buy that weapon.''" The Mine Thrower in the attache case.]]

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon reloads the Mine Thrower.]]

==Bowgun==
In Separate Ways, Ada Wong can buy a Bowgun from the Merchant that shoots crossbow bolts tipped with explosive broadheads. It deals roughly the same damage as a hand grenade.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun menu.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bowgun in the attache case.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ada loads up another quarrel after blasting J.J. in the face.]]

==Krauser's Drones==
During the buildup to Krauser's boss fight, several robotic drones will approach Leon and either shoot with machine guns or self destruct.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Robot.jpg.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the little machine gun on the drone, it even has a tiny ammo belt.]]

=Explosives=

==Custom Grenades==
There are three types of custom hand grenades found in RE4: Fragmentation grenades deal wide area explosive damage, Flashbangs stun all enemies in range and also have an added effect of instantly killing exposed Las Plagas parasites, and finally Incendiary grenades burn all targets in a small area. Weirdly, the pins are not pulled when throwing them.

[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Hand Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hand Grenade painted olive drab.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Flash Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Flashbang in blue. It doesn't have cutout holes in its body, which in real life are required for the flash and sound of the grenade to escape.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Incendiary Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Incendiary Grenade in red.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Krauser Grenades.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Krauser confronts Leon in a deadly knife fight with several grenades strapped to his belt. They seem to resemble the M67 grenade due to their rounded shape. During the buildup to his boss fight, he will toss a flashbang whenever Leon deals enough damage, then disappear.]]

==M67 Grenade==
[[M67 Hand Grenade|M67 Hand Grenades]] can be found in one of the Merchant's shops. They can't be bought and used.
[[Image:M67.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M67 fragmentation grenade with "jungle clip".]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Grenades and Artillery Shells.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A stockpile of seriously low resolution M67 Grenades (missing their pins and levers, and painted silver for some reason), machine gun belts, and artillery shells. Upon inspection Leon ponders just where did the Merchant get all these munitions.]]

==Dynamite==
Certain Ganados carry and throw sticks of dynamite at their enemies. Because of their reckless usage of explosives, they often get themselves or their own comrades killed, which the player can exploit. Their dynamite can also be shot in their hand or in mid-air, which provides even more options. In the mines, Leon must use dynamite to blow up a huge rock blocking the way.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Dynamite Ganado.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suicidal Ganado approaches Leon with a lit stick of dynamite. If Leon gets grabbed by a dynamite-wielding enemy he must shake him off, or else it will result in instant death as the explosive blows both of them up.]]

==TNT==
There are several traps scattered across the game consisting of bundles of TNT lashed together connected to two detonators with a tripwire running across two walls. During Krauser's final boss fight, several charges of TNT are rigged to blow inside the fort Leon and Krauser are fighting in.
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Trap.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon encounters a TNT tripwire trap. Its chest high so its rather easy to spot.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 TNT Krauser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TNT charges on the fort, giving the player a limited amount of time to defeat Krauser before they go boom.]]

==Molotov Cocktail==
During the first village encounter, Leon can climb a tall tower and be safe from enemy melee attacks. However the villagers will toss Molotov Cocktails at his position instead to flush him out.
[[Image:Molotovin cocktail.jpg|thumb|none|200px|Original Finnish Molotov cocktail.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Molotov Cocktail thrown.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hiding in the village tower isn't exactly safe, as this thrown Molotov implies.]]

=Ammunition images=
[[Image:RE4pistolAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handgun Ammo representing 9x19mm Parabellum. Though the box is marked with "30 pistol cartridges", the player will be hard pressed to find one with more than 20 in the game. The lettering on the side also states the rounds are "Hi-Shok JHP" or Jacketed Hollow Points, which may explain their ability to occasionally explode enemies heads.]]
[[Image:RE4magnumAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Magnum Ammo. Though the description may lead one to believe that the in-game magnum ammo is .45 Winchester Magnum, the side of the ammo box indicates that it's actually ''.45 ACP'', a non-magnum cartridge in reality. This is probably a modeling mistake of the devs since in the ''[[Resident Evil Outbreak]]'' games (which released before RE4) .45 ACP is correctly classified as a standard handgun caliber, albeit more powerful than 9mm.]]
[[Image:RE4handcannonAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Handcannon Ammo likely representing .500 S&W Magnum rounds. The devs clearly forgot to add the 0 to ".50 Caliber", so its mistakenly shown as ".5 Caliber".]]
[[Image:RE4tmpAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|TMP Ammo. Note that, since the TMP's ammo box explicitly refers to itself as 9mm Parabellum, this presumably means that the handguns are chambered in a more esoteric 9mm cartridge (e.g. 9x21mm IMI).]]
[[Image:RE4shotgunAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shotgun Shells. The ammo box calls the ammo 12 gauge sabot slugs, although you can't fire a sabot slug from a smoothbore shotgun, they have a wide spread anyway. "Hybred" appears to be a misspelling of Hybrid.]]
[[Image:RE4rifleAmmo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rifle Ammo representing .223 Remington.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Mine Thrower ammo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Mine Thrower ammo consisting of explosive mine darts.]]
[[Image:Resident Evil 4 Bowgun bolts.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ammo pickup icon for the Bowgun's explosive bolts. Note the arrowheads which resemble modern hunting broadheads for compound bows and crossbows.]]
