The following firearms appear in the game Perfect Dark Zero.

Pistols

Walther P99

The standard pistol is a Walther P99, renamed as the "P9P", with a mounted rail for attachments, including a 4x scope on the top and a tactical light on the bottom, as well as a detachable suppressor that reduces damage to give pinpoint accuracy. In cutscenes that feature it, it has no attachments. It holds 9 rounds and can be dual-wielded.

-=== Falcon ===
-Resembles a [[Glock]] 17L with an unusable attached LAM. Holds double the capacity of the P9P, and has slightly better accuracy but lower damage per shot.  The secondary fire uses the 18 round magazine as an improvised grenade.
+A [[Glock 17L]] with an unusable attached LAM goes by the "Falcon" name, serving as the predecessor (at least in name) to the original ''Perfect Dark'''s Double Eagle-derived "Falcon 2". Holds double the capacity of the P99, and has slightly better accuracy (at least when the P99 is not suppressed) but lower damage per shot. The secondary fire pulls out the magazine and tosses it, setting off the bullets in it in sequence to act as an improvised grenade.

-=== DY357 Magnum===
+== Colt Python ==
-The only revolver in the game, it is a [[Colt Python]] with minor visual differences. It is Jack's weapon of choice and also in use by Zhang Li's elite guards. Strangely, while Jack can be seen firing the weapon in double action mode, Joanna will only fire it in single-action, except when the chambers are all empty.
+The only revolver in the game, a [[Colt Python]] with minor visual differences returns as the "DY357 Magnum". Two variants appear in the game: the regular one in gameplay, with wooden grips, is used by Zhang Li's elite guards and can be acquired and used by the player. A second one shows up in cutscenes, where it is Jack's weapon of choice, featuring synthetic grips and a laser attached to the frame just below the barrel. Strangely, while Jack can be seen firing the weapon in double-action mode, Joanna will only fire it in single-action (including fanning the hammer when the weapon is fired at the fastest rate possible), except when the chambers are all empty. Why exactly this is the case is unknown, especially since it is one of only two weapons where pulling the trigger on empty plays a dry-fire animation rather than automatically triggering a reload.

-=== Magsec 4 ===
+== Beretta 93R "Auto 9" ==
-A pistol holding 9 rounds. It bears a strong resemblance to the [[Beretta 93R#Beretta 93R "Auto 9"|Auto 9]], of [[Robocop]] fame.
+Returning from the first game, the "MagSec 4" bears an even stronger resemblance to the [[Beretta 93R#Beretta 93R "Auto 9"|Auto 9]] of ''[[Robocop]]'' fame. The weapon functions nearly identically to the original version, including its 9-round capacity and options of semi-auto and three-round bursts, differing only in that a reflex sight has been attached to justify the ability to zoom in.

+[[Image:PDZ_mag_1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Magsec 4 while in cover, looking a little M1911-ish.]]
-=== Psychosis Gun ===
+== "Psychosis Gun" ==
 Small pistol used to "negate the target's distinction between friends and foes".  Capacity is 6 rounds.

-=== DW-P5 ===
+== Heckler & Koch MP5A3==
-A nearly-unmodified [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5A3|H&K MP5A3]], featuring a detachable suppressor, red dot scope, and tactical light.  Holds 24 rounds.
+A nearly-unmodified [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]] features as the "DW-P5". It is for all intents and purposes a straight upgrade to the P99, featuring a larger magazine of 24 rounds, detachable suppressor, red dot scope, and tactical light, with its only downsides being that it takes up more space (two inventory slots to the P99's one) and cannot be dual-wielded with another weapon.

 [[Image:PDZ-DWP5.JPG|thumb|none|600px|DW-P5 in-game. Note attached suppressor.]]
-=== UGL Liberator ===
+== IMI Uzi ==
-An [[IMI Uzi]]-based submachine gun.  Capacity is 24 Rounds. Secondary function is booby trap, turning the gun into an improvised proximity mine. It can be dual-wielded.
+An [[IMI Uzi]] appears in-game as the "UGL Liberator". Capacity is 24 rounds. It acts as a counterpart to the old "Dragon" assault rifle, as its secondary function drops the weapon and turns it into an improvised proximity mine. It is otherwise deficient in nearly every way to the MP5 save for its ability to be used alongside a second one-handed gun.

-=== CMP-150 ===
+== Steyr TMP ==
-A fast-firing SMG based on the [[Steyr TMP]], holding 24 rounds and featuring a "hologram projector". Dual-wieldable.
+Another returning weapon, the fast-firing [[Steyr TMP]] once again goes by the "CMP-150" name. Like the MP5 and Uzi, it holds 24 rounds per magazine, its secondary function being a "hologram projector" which places a holographic copy of the user nearby to distract enemies. It can also be dual-wielded.

-=== RCP-90 ===
+== FN P90 ==
-Another SMG with a fast ROF, based on the [[FN P90]]. Secondary and tertiary functions are Threat Detector and Reprogram. Unlike the real P90, the RCP-90 holds only 40 rounds.
+A returner from ''GoldenEye'', in a manner of speaking, the [[FN P90]] goes by its old and infamous "RCP-90" moniker. Another SMG with a fast rate of fire, it features a secondary function of Threat Detector (placing a dull red filter over the user's view, which outlines and highlights enemies and traps, in return for reducing accuracy while active) and Reprogram (disabling and hijacking enemy gadgets). Unlike the real P90, the RCP-90 holds only 40 rounds. It's animated as if it is an open-bolt weapon, with the charging handle at the rear position normally, visibly sliding forward and then back between shots, and pushing forward when the trigger is pulled after emptying the magazine (also dutifully locking itself back on its own during the reload animation, since outside of the animation for equipping the weapon for the first time Joanna never feels the need to touch it). On the other hand, it's also correctly modeled with translucent magazines that properly empty as the player fires the weapon.

-No sci-fi shooter is complete without a Plasma Rifle, and in this game it's a barely-disguised [[FAMAS]] G2. The gun has unlimited ammo, recharging up to 200 units at a time and using 5 per shot. Secondary fire is Cloak, spending ammo to make the user invisible.

+== AK-47 ==
-A Kalashnikov-style assault rifle - despite its name suggesting it is an [[AK-74]], it has the overall appearance of a standard [[AK-47]], fitted with the straight stock of an [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]]. It holds 30 rounds per magazine, and features a Soviet ballistic knife as a bayonet, which can only hold a single knife at a time.

-=== FAC-16 ===
+== Colt Model 727 w/ M203 ==
-An assault rifle based on the [[M16 rifle series#Colt Carbine/Model 653/Model 727/Model 733|Colt Model 727]], with an ACOG mounted on the carrying handle and what appears to be an [[M203 grenade launcher]] underneath the barrel. Can use a suppressor. Holds 30 rounds per magazine, alongside up to six grenades for the launcher.
+The "FAC-16" assault rifle is based on the [[Colt Model 727]], with an ACOG mounted on the carrying handle and what appears to be an [[M203 grenade launcher]] underneath the barrel. It can use a suppressor, making it the second and final straight upgrade in the P99 to MP5 chain. Holds 30 rounds per magazine, alongside up to six grenades for the launcher.

-=== Superdragon ===
+== Heckler & Koch G36KV ==
-An assault rifle resembling an [[Heckler & Koch G36#Heckler & Koch G36K| H&K G36K]] with a mounted magazine-fed, semi-auto grenade launcher resembling the [[Heckler & Koch AG36]] or [[Heckler & Koch M320|M320]]. It holds 20 rounds while the launcher holds 6. Features Night Vision as the secondary function. The animations suggest the weapon is an open-bolt design.
+The "Superdragon", a predecessor to the original game's vaguely [[Heckler & Koch XM8]]-inspired future rifle; this time, rather appropriately for a prequel, it's a [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] with a mounted magazine-fed, semi-auto grenade launcher resembling the [[Heckler & Koch AG36]] or [[Heckler & Koch M320|M320]]. The weapon is modified slightly from the real thing, including a charging handle shifted down along the center of the left side, rather than being directly attached to the bolt carrier along the top, which animates in such a way to suggest the weapon is an open-bolt design. The weapon also includes integrated ironsights along the top of the carry handle, while the actual sight is apparently repurposed as a night-vision optic, giving the weapon a night vision overlay as a secondary function. It holds 20 rounds while the launcher holds 6.

-Based on a shortened, stockless [[Franchi SPAS-12]] and holding 6 rounds with radar sweep and mimic as secondary and tertiary functions.
+The "DEF-12 Shotgun" is a shortened, stockless [[Franchi SPAS-12]] with a left-mounted shell rack and unusable laser sight. Holds 6 rounds at a time with radar sweep as its secondary function, revealing nearby enemies on the user's radar, but giving away their own position as well. Multiplayer also assigns it a "mimic" tertiary mode, which makes the user appear on enemy radar as a friendly.

Secondary fire uses four bullets to place a caltrop, injuring players that run over them.
