What might appear to be a smoke grenade launcher on the front-left of Infested Tank's turret is actually a training aid called a Hoffman Gunfire Simulator or more simply "Hoffman Device," a part of the MILES (multiple integrated laser engagement system) training suite. The Hoffman device is essentially a rack of snub barrels each loaded with a quarter-stick of dynamite to simulate the sound and flash of the main gun during exercises. Quite why this is still fitted when the tanks are in combat is not clear. | What might appear to be a smoke grenade launcher on the front-left of Infested Tank's turret is actually a training aid called a Hoffman Gunfire Simulator or more simply "Hoffman Device," a part of the MILES (multiple integrated laser engagement system) training suite.

Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons are used in the Devil May Cry series:
Devil May Cry
Ebony and Ivory
Dante’s hand-made guns, Ebony and Ivory are heavily customized 1911s pistols. They are similar to certain STI pistols, due to their extended frames. Both weapons sport one-port compensators to reduce felt recoil and muzzle flip in firing, molded wood grips with miniaturized Victorian portraits, custom slides with side exterior ejectors, custom frames, special engraving, gold assets which include; the triggers, slide releases, thumb safeties, and hammers, and extended magazines with slam pads. Despite being paired, Ebony and Ivory are not identical, aside from the colors, the other differences are:
- Ebony has Bo-mar rear sights, A long spur hammer for one handed cocking, And if you notice, Ebony's slide is also designed to eject from the left instead of the right as the Ivory is. The Ebony is exclusively a left hand gun.
- Ivory has smaller sights (Novak or MMC), a shorter tactical safety lever and a ring hammer.
Luce & Ombra
The Legendary Dark Knight Sparda's handguns are customized Colt 1911s similar to Dante's, save the engravings of their names.
Shotgun
An unknown sawed-off 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun Dante holds one-handed and "reloads" by flicking the weapon open and closed, though he never actually puts new shells into it.
Grenade launcher
Resembling an RG-6 but appearing to be mostly fictional, this is a straight-pull bolt action grenade launcher with a revolver magazine operated with a charging handle attached to the left-hand side of the barrel, resembling the more normal underside foregrip rotated ninety degrees. The pause menu animation shows this being operated to rotate the cylinder; it's impossible to tell if this happens in the game, since Dante lets the weapon recoil to the point it's almost vertical during the firing animation.
Devil May Cry 2
Ebony & Ivory
Dante has learned a few new tricks with his handguns in DMC2, most notably the ability to fire at two enemies at the same time, a move similar to the fictional "Gun Kata" martial art in the movie Equilibrium.
Shotgun
Dante finds the shotgun next to a motorbike, in what appears to be a homage to Terminator 2: Judgment Day; however, it's still the same break-open design from the previous game. Among other moves, Dante acquires a technique in this game called "Fireworks" in which he spins the shotgun around like a nunchaku, firing several times.
Heckler & Koch MP5K
Called the "Machine Guns" and used in a pair as with Dante's handguns.
FIM-92A Stinger
The FIM-92A Stinger is useable by Dante, called the "Rocket Launcher."
Rheinmetall MG3A1
The boss "Infested Tank" is a fictional variant of the German Leopard 2 A5 (identified by the shorter L44 main gun); this version mounts a coaxial flamethrower rather than one MG3, but still has the other on the commander's hatch and will attack Dante or Lucia with it if either tries to get on top of the turret.
Hoffman Tank Gunfire Simulator
What might appear to be a smoke grenade launcher on the front-left of Infested Tank's turret is actually a training aid called a Hoffman Gunfire Simulator or more simply "Hoffman Device," a part of the MILES (multiple integrated laser engagement system) training suite. The Hoffman device is essentially a rack of snub barrels each loaded with a quarter-stick of dynamite to simulate the sound and flash of the main gun during exercises. Quite why this is still fitted when the tanks are in combat is not clear.
M230 Chain Gun
The boss "Infested Chopper" is an AH-64 Apache mounting what appear to be two giant Maverick air-to-ground missiles, Hydra rocket packs, and a M230 Chain Gun under the chin.
Devil May Cry 3
Ebony & Ivory
Dante's signature handguns. Even in his early days, Dante can do extraordinary tricks with them.
Shotgun
The same unknown sawed-off double barreled shotgun from the previous games.
Lahti L-39
A gigantic anti-material rifle that uses an overhead magazine, "Spiral" is Devil May Cry 3's heavy long-ranged weapon; it is actually a Lahti L-39 with a shortened barrel, a carrying handle ahead of the magazine, and a wooden foregrip replacing the more usual ski-equipped bipod. One of the special moves has perhaps the most ridiculous physics in the series, which is saying something in a series where being impaled through the chest often fails to even injure the victim's clothes: Dante is said to use a "trick shot" to ricochet the bullet off multiple surfaces to make it go faster.
Kalina Ann
Lady's rocket launcher resembles a highly modified M20 "Super Bazooka" fitted with multiple rear launch tubes for micro-missiles and a bayonet that can be projected on a chain, allowing the launcher to be used as a piton gun. It can be used by Dante; the rockets the main launcher fires have an extremely short self-destruct, making the launcher only useful at close to medium range.
Custom Browning Hi-Power/CZ 75B Hybrid
Lady's handgun of choice is what appears to be a customized Browning Hi-Power/CZ 75B hybrid, with a longer barrel and a longer and heavier slide with compensator ports. In the "Welcome Back" cinematic, she performs some truly unbelievable reloads, including slapping a magazine into it in midair, as it falls from the sky. The handgun is a 9mm as evidenced in the cut-scene before level 9, it shows a close-up of a casing from Lady's handgun and it says 9mm on it.
Vz.61 Skorpion
One of Lady's guns is a Czech SA Vz.61 Skorpion submachine gun with a large bayonet mounted on it. A note of interest is that it's modeled with a much larger than normal magazine, about the size of a 5.56 type magazine.
