The [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5SD|MP5 SD6]] used in the game can be identified from its integrated silencer, retractable stock and more modern "symbol" safety, as opposed to the "S-E-F" safety found on earlier models. The in-game model is modelled with what appears to be a 20-round magazine. However, there is no reloading required, as with most other weapons on the game. There also appears to be some kind of red-dot scope attached to the top of the weapon. However, this does not function in game. Oddly, despite using the same 9x19mm ammunition as the MAC-10 and Browning HP, this gun does far more damage per shot than the other two weapons in game. | The [[Heckler & Koch MP5#Heckler & Koch MP5SD|MP5 SD6]] used in the game can be identified from its integrated silencer, retractable stock and more modern "symbol" safety, as opposed to the "S-E-F" safety found on earlier models.

Revision as of 16:53, 28 July 2014
Tomb Raider III: Adventures of Lara Croft is a British videogame developed by now-defunct CORE Design and published by EIDOS (Now part of Square Enix), released on PC and PlayStation in 1998, with a mini-sequel The Lost Artifact released in 2000 for the PC. It was added to the PlayStation Network in 2009, and as a PC digital download from Steam and GOG Games in 2012. The 3rd instalment in the Tomb Raider series follows British Archaeologist and Explorer Lara Croft as she travels the world to discover pieces of an ancient meteorite made from a strange material that grants its users special powers.
Firearms
Handguns
Browning HP
A pair of Browning Hi-Power pistols serve as Lara's main weapons, with unlimited ammo and, like most of the weapons she uses on the game, an infinite magazine size. Not particularly powerful, they are undoubtedly chambered in the standard 9x19mm rounds, since official advertisements for the game describe a "pair of 9mms as [Lara's] passport". The models used in the artwork and FMVs differ in finish from the in-game models, the former being an all-nickel finish, whereas the in-game models feature black top slides and silvered lower receivers. At the time, the Browning HP was the standard-issue pistol of the British Army, which suggests Lara may have used this pistol for the patriotic touch.
IMI Desert Eagle Mark VII
A single Desert Eagle MK VII chambered in .50AE is used as Lara's secondary pistol in the game. It is extremely powerful, capable of killing a human enemy with two shots and an armoured guard with three. Unusually for this type of pistol, the in-game model features a nickel-plated top slide and barrel, and a black lower receiver. Also, there appears to be a hole underneath the muzzle whose purpose is not clear.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS 12
Lara's shotgun in the game is a Franchi SPAS-12, which can be seen by its distinctive curved pump handle and vented side cowling. The in-game model lacks a stock and also appears to have a hole in the front of the magazine, giving it the appearance of an "over and under" shotgun from the front. Although it has a combination action, it is only used as a pump-action shotgun by Lara.
Submachine Guns
Ingram MAC-10
Incorrectly referred to as "Uzis" in-game, a pair MAC-10s can be dual-wielded by Lara. Chambered in 9x19mm, these have the same power per shot as the Browning HP pistols, but are far more effective due to their increased rate of fire.
Heckler & Koch MP5 SD6
The MP5 SD6 used in the game can be identified from its integrated silencer, retractable stock and more modern "symbol" safety, as opposed to the "S-E-F" safety found on earlier models. The in-game model is modelled with what appears to be a 20-round magazine. However, there is no reloading required, as with most other weapons on the game. There also appears to be some kind of red-dot scope attached to the top of the weapon. However, this does not function in game. Oddly, despite using the same 9x19mm ammunition as the MAC-10 and Browning HP, this gun does far more damage per shot than the other two weapons in game.
Other Weapons
Launchers
Modified GM-94
The in-game model of the hand-held grenade launcher appears to be based off the model from Tomb Raider II, which was based on a GM-94 grenade launcher. It has been modified by adding an 8-round rotary chamber, like that of the Milkor MGL. Unlike TR2, the grenade launcher on this game does not have to be reloaded after every shot.
Carl Gustav M2
The Carl Gustav M2 used by Lara in the game appears to have a dark blue finish, rather than the olive drab finish of the standard rifle. Like the Browning HP, the Carl Gustav also saw extensive service in the British Army.
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
The Mk 19 Grenade Launcher appears at the end of the Crash Site level, mounted to a crashed Australian Air Force plane and used by Lara to kill some dinosaurs. Although the in-game model is out of proportion with the real Mk 19 - the receiver is much too small compared to the barrel and hand grips - it is still recognizable by the muzzle brake and the sliding mechanism directly behind the barrel.
Harpoon Gun
Lara's Harpoon gun in the game appears to have a very large air tank. It is also the only gun on the game that requires reloading, once every 4 shots.
