	The "Machine Gun" is the third weapon in the game, and is based on the [[~~Thompson Submachine Gun#~~M1921 Thompson~~\|Thompson M1921~~]], with a charging handle on both sides of the weapon and long barrel like the M1927 Carbine.		The "Machine Gun" is the third weapon in the game, and is based on the [[M1921 Thompson]], with a charging handle on both sides of the weapon and long barrel like the M1927 Carbine.
	At the early stages of the game after it's found, ammo is very scarce. The weapon and its ammo become increasingly more common when Leadhead Splicers upgrade to this weapon from their revolvers towards the end of the game. The Splicer model is smaller and lacks the foregrip and stock (Which, oddly enough, is very similar to the Thompson No. 8 prototype:[https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTvaanT3pF30U75xQ8re6GwtpaeWp4tfEDDd4k141cA6GDjekRnEw]).

A modified version is the standard armament for security bots.
	The weapon's casings eject to the left, as is common in video games. The weapon uses a forty-round drum (as opposed to actual Thompson drums, which hold 50 rounds). The Thompson can fire standard ammo, rare antipersonnel rounds, and inventable armor-piercing rounds. It can be upgraded with a damage boost and a recoil reduction which resembles a suppressor. The ones used by Security Bots appear to be [[M1 Thompson\|M1/M1A1 Thompson]]s.		The weapon's casings eject to the left, as is common in video games.

	The [[Browning M1919]] is mounted on the automated gun turrets found throughout the game. It is not directly available to player character, but the turrets can be hacked to fight for them instead. Destroyed gun turrets sometimes drop .45 ammunition, implying that this gun somehow uses that instead of .30-06, which would mean technically it has been converted into an SMG.

	The "Grenade Launcher" is the fifth weapon in the game. It is a custom setup built from common household and industrial parts. The Grenade Launcher seems to be made from one of the many pipes available in Rapture, complete with their Art Deco patterns, a converted handle and trigger to fit that pipe, and various other parts - even including a box of "Home-Grown Asparagus" for the magazine/grenade box. Jack loads the next round by twisting the rear of the gun to the left, which exposes the breech and loads a new grenade from the box, and reloads by replacing the entire module behind the barrel. Ammo is somewhat rare until the final areas, where it suddenly becomes extremely abundant. Luckily, no enemies wield this weapon, though Rosie Big Daddies will often throw proximity mines when attacking, and RPG turrets fire RPGs (which may be heat-seeking like the ones you can get for the grenade launcher).

The three ammo types for the Grenade Launcher are:

	- Fragmentation Grenades; a very crude concoction of empty sardine cans filled with explosives. After shot from the grenade launcher, these will explode on impact with the nearest enemy or surface - but will often take some time before they explode, and will not explode after hitting the first surface due to their very primitive and simplistic design and manufacture. They are fired in a ballistic arc, so long-distance aiming might be more difficult. Fragmentation grenades are the standard ammo type and by far the most common.		*Fragmentation Grenades; a very crude concoction of empty sardine cans filled with explosives.

They are fired in a ballistic arc, so long-distance aiming might be more difficult. Fragmentation grenades are the standard ammo type and by far the most common.

	- Proximity Mines; these are a significant technological step up from the regular grenades. These will only explode when an enemy/NPC (including friendly Big Daddies and Little Sisters) enters a certain radius around them - basically anyone except Jack. These are most effectively used as traps, to set up a defensive radius, or to inflict massive damage in a single attack to enemies who require it, by using telekinesis to throw an object covered in mines (the so-called "Doomcan," so called because the usual object used is a trashcan). These also fire in a ballistic arc but adhere to any surface, including walls and ceilings. Since they will also stay in place until detonated (even after transitioning to a different level), proximity mines are ideal for setting up on the known paths of Big Daddies so they take immediate damage and have to hunt you down. These are considerably rarer than the normal fragmentation grenades but also become more abundant towards the end of the game.		*Proximity Mines; these are a significant technological step up from the regular grenades.

These are considerably rarer than the normal fragmentation grenades but also become more abundant towards the end of the game.

	- Heat-Seeking RPG; the most advanced and rarest of the ammo types for the grenade launcher. As the name suggests, these projectiles are not only propelled by rockets - so don't follow a ballistic arc - they also actively seek the closest heat source. This is very useful if that closest source of heat are enemies, as you only need to aim in their general direction and the rocket will seek and destroy on its own. However, they will also aim towards fires and other hot masses if they are larger and/or hotter than your target. These are ideal in taking down Big Daddies as quickly as possible, as you don't need to precisely aim; just back away while facing their general direction while shooting RPG's at them from a very long distance. These are also ideal against targets who are not only very far off, but also semi-obstructed from direct line of sight, as well as groups of splicers due to its large radius of damage.		*Heat-Seeking RPG; the most advanced and rarest of the ammo types for the grenade launcher.

	The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver. This is also the weapon of choice for Leadhead Splicers for most the game. Its ammunition is very common until the Splicers begin to use other weapons. The pistol uses .38 caliber rounds, and it can use rare armor-piercing rounds or rarer antipersonnel rounds. The pistol can be upgraded with a damage boost and a strange device that seems to be a drum magazine feeding into the right side of the cylinder, which increases the weapon's capacity to twenty-four rounds. The pistol model held by Splicers is smaller than the one held by the player.		The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver.

The pistol model held by Splicers is smaller than the one held by the player. The hammer is portrayed as cocked by default, with it somehow cocking itself ''after'' it has been fired. This is a leftover from an early build of the game, where the Webley was single-action. Another interesting thing to note is that Jack reloads the gun by replacing the entire cylinder, rather than using a speedloader (indeed, ammo packs for the pistol are of multiple cylinders, even when upgraded with the capacity increase).

	The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver. This is also the weapon of choice for Leadhead Splicers for most the game. Its ammunition is very common until the Splicers begin to use other weapons. The pistol uses .38 caliber rounds, and it can use rare armor-piercing rounds or rarer antipersonnel rounds. The pistol can be upgraded with a damage boost and a strange device that seems to be a drum magazine feeding into the right side of the cylinder, which increases the weapon's capacity to twenty-four rounds. The pistol model held by Splicers is smaller than the one held by the player.		The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver.

	Also, it should be noted that the hammer is always locked back, even though there is no animation for cocking it. This is a leftover from an early build of the game, where the Webley was single-action. Another interesting thing to note is that Jack reloads the gun by replacing the entire cylinder, rather than using a speedloader (indeed, ammo packs for the pistol are of multiple cylinders, even when upgraded with the capacity increase).

	'''Bioshock''' is the award-winning First-Person Shooter from 2007, created by Irrational Games. Set in 1960, player character "Jack" (who is never actually called that in-game) is stranded in the middle of the ocean after his place crash-lands. Seeking shelter in a lighthouse, he soon comes across the city of Rapture, an underwater Heaven-turned-Hell filled to burst with leaks, a powerful element called ADAM, power-giving Plasmids, violently ADAM-addicted "Splicers", little girls with giant diving-suited protectors, and a friendly Irish man called Atlas. Arming himself with these powerful Plasmids and various weapons, Jack ventures out into Rapture to defeat the tyrannical Andrew Ryan, the founder of Rapture, and find out that not all is what it seems.

	The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver. This is also the weapon of choice for Leadhead Splicers for most the game. Its ammunition is very common until the Splicers begin to use other weapons. The pistol uses .38 caliber rounds, and it can use rare armor-piercing rounds or rarer antipersonnel rounds. The pistol can be upgraded with a damage boost and a strange device that seems to be a drum magazine feeding into the right side of the cylinder, which increases the weapon's capacity to twenty-four rounds. The pistol model held by Splicers is smaller than the one held by the player.		The first firearm the player character finds is the "Pistol," based on the [[Webley Mk VI]] Revolver.

	Also, it should be noted that the hammer is always locked back, even though there is no animation for cocking it. This is a leftover from an early build of the game, where the Webley was single-action. Another interesting thing to note is that Jack reloads the gun by replacing the entire cylinder, rather than using a speedloader (indeed, ammo packs for the pistol are of multiple cylinders, even when upgraded with the capacity increase)~~. One interesting thing to note is that in the beta release, the "Pistol" operated via cocking the hammer after every shot rather then how it's fired now~~.
