	A pump-action shotgun named as the "Homeland 37" is one of the cheapest weapons in the game, and one of the first available to buy at the Arms Dealer. It is referred to in the pause menu and on the Arms Dealer's computer as the "Homeland 37," implying it is supposed to be an [[Ithaca 37]] "Homeland Security" version; however, the weapon itself is actually a long-barreled hunting style shotgun with a left-handed ejection port; completely lacking the Ithaca 37's most distinctive feature of the combined loading and ejection port. The "Homeland 37" appears to instead be a frankenshotgun with mixed elements from the Ithaca ~~and~~ the [[Remington 870]]. It has a six-round internal magazine, half that of the other two shotguns; coupled with the relatively slow pump-action, this leaves it distinctly inferior to the others.

The "Homeland 37" appears to instead be a frankenshotgun with mixed elements from the Ithaca, the [[Remington 870]], and some variety of auto-shotgun given that the bolt has a visible charging handle attached directly to it and a channel behind the ejection port for that handle to travel. It has a six-round internal magazine, half that of the other two shotguns; coupled with the relatively slow pump-action, this leaves it distinctly inferior to the others.

	The [[FN FAL]] is called the "FAL Paratrooper" by the Arms Dealer's computer and the in-game menus; this is odd, since it is shown with a fixed stock, not the folding stock of the Paratrooper variant.

A reliable and accurate rifle, it is a solid choice for general use. It also somehow holds 30 rounds in a 20 round magazine...

	The "Tranquilizer Rifle" is a version of the [[Remington 700]], most closely resembling an [[M40 Sniper Rifle\|M40]]; it has additional components from the Pneu-Dart Model 389 tranquilizer gun, a single-shot dartgun powered by .22 "primer load" rounds in a detachable magazine. It has the gas regulator tube of the latter weapon, but the barrel is at the same level it would be on a normal rifle.

	It can be surmised that the tranquilizer is not something intended for use on humans; a hit anywhere will kill the target instantly, and also kick up a spray of blood as with the normal rifles; odd behaviour for a dartgun.

The "AR-16" in ''Far Cry 2'' has single shot and burst fire modes, with a short tap of the trigger firing a single shot while a longer press fires a three-round burst.		An essentially fictional [[AR-15]]-based rifle labeled as the [[AR-18\|ArmaLite AR-16]] possibly to maintain a common calibre with the other assault rifles, ignoring that one of them already isn't chambered for the same cartridge as the other two. The real AR-16 never got out of the prototype phase, being the 7.62mm forerunner of the [[AR-18]] rifle, and has very little in common with the weapon seen in game. The "AR-16" in ''Far Cry 2'' has single shot and burst fire modes, with a short tap of the trigger firing a single shot while a longer press fires a three-round burst.

	The rifle itself is for the most part based on the [[M16A4]]-pattern receiver, with an additional ledge on the pistol grip, combined with a flat-top with Picatinny rails. The ejection port and the forward assist have been moved to the left side. The weapon has a mounted Truglo 1x30 Green Dot Sight, with a jungle pattern camouflage forearm and stock. Ahead of this is an [[FN FAL]]-style carrying handle, and ~~it also has~~ a ~~H&K-like~~ front sight. The only part similar to the real AR-16 is the forend with two side rows of holes on the top (although the overall shape is still closer to the AR-18).

	The [[FN FAL]] is called the "FAL Paratrooper" by the Arms Dealer's computer and the in-game menus; this is odd, since it is shown with a fixed stock, not the folding stock of the Paratrooper variant. It can be found in the hands of some soldiers in the North, but doesn't actually become available to buy until the Southern map is unlocked. A reliable and accurate rifle, it is a solid choice for general use. It also somehow holds 30 rounds in a 20 round magazine...
