The following weapons can be seen in the videogame Far Cry:

Magnum Research Desert Eagle .357 Magnum Pistol

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.

Jack Carver brandishes his Desert Eagle in the game's opening level. Note the 9-round magazine, showing it is indeed a .357.

Jack 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.

FN P90 Submachine Gun

The FN P90 is featured as the "P90 SMG." It's a loud but potent weapon which is effective at short range, at least until the Jackhammer becomes available and largely makes it obsolete. Something terrible appears to have happened to the front grip.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD3 Submachine Gun

Colt M4A1 Carbine

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.

Heckler & Koch G36K Assault Rifle with AG36 Grenade Launcher

A Heckler& Koch G36K with an export sight and mounted Heckler & Koch AG36 Grenade Launcher is seen in game labelled as the "AG36." The weapon is fitted with a 2x / 4x scope.

XM29 OICW

The XM29 OICW is present as the "OICW," shown as a 5.56mm rifle with a fixed 3x magnification scope and repeating grenade launcher. The grenades travel in a much longer arc than those of the AG36, but are otherwise unremarkable; the complex HEAB functionality is not represented in-game.

M249-E2 Squad Automatic Weapon

The M249-E2 Squad Automatic Weapon is called the "Machine Gun" in game, and is the only weapon the all weapons cheat won't give you. It is the mercenary commander Crow's weapon of choice for facing Jack, and Jack first acquires it after defeating him. The SAW in Far Cry has a 100-round box magazine, and is one of the few weapons powerful enough to face the giant "Fat Boy" Trigens with.

Accuracy International AW50F

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.

Jack prepares to give one of Krieger's men a .50 calibre asprin.

Rocket Launcher

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.

Error creating thumbnail: File missing
While the Far Cry launcher has little basis in reality, it inspired a number of other multi-shot rocket launchers in games like Crysis and F.E.A.R. 2: Project Origin.

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.

Jack fires the M134 minigun. Notice that splashes are already appearing even though the bullets have not yet struck the water; this is a hitscan weapon.

Browning M2

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.

Mark 19 Grenade Launcher

The Mk 19 grenade launcher is depicted in-game as a mounted weapon called the "Mortar." The weapon is one of the least accurate to its real-life counterpart, depicted as an extremely slow-firing single-shot gun with a built-in rangefinder and trajectory calculation system.
