The [[GE M134 Minigun]] is seen mounted in fixed positions and on Krieger's helicopters. It replicates the grip of the minigun from ''Terminator 2'': it's not clear precisely ''why'', since it's never carried by anyone in-game.

The following weapons can be seen in the videogame Far Cry:
The Desert Eagle is referred to as the "Falcon 357" and is the first firearm acquired by Jack Carver. It holds 9 rounds and is the only pistol in the game.

Note the 9-round magazine, showing it is indeed a .357.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJack fires his Desert Eagle in the third level. Aside from the machete, the Desert Eagle is the lightest weapon in the game; useful since Far Cry uses a stamina gauge to regulate how much Jack can sprint; for gameplay reasons, only Jack's currently equipped weapon is taken as weighing anything.
The M4A1 Carbine is the second weapon Jack acquires, and is called the "M4 Assault Weapon" in game. It's a reasonably potent weapon, though outclassed by later assault rifles as it lacks a scope or grenade launcher.
The Accuracy International AW50F [identified by the distinctive Madco barrel] is present as the "Sniper Rifle." It features a precision optic scope with a built-in rangefinder and variable magnification; 3x, 6x, 12x and 18x.
A fictional rocket launcher is used in-game, possibly extremely loosely based on the M202 FLASH multi-shot rocket launcher; the Far Cry launcher, however, has a single common exhaust for all four tubes, and reloads using a four-rocket magazine located at the weapon's midpoint.

General Electric M134 Minigun
The GE M134 Minigun is seen mounted in fixed positions and on Krieger's helicopters. It replicates the grip of the minigun from Terminator 2: it's not clear precisely why, since it's never carried by anyone in-game.
Browning M2 heavy machine guns are seen mounted on various vehicles throughout the game, and can be controlled by Jack when he is using them. They have limited ammunition supplies, but do not overheat as in many other games.
