The following weapons were used in the video game Postal 2
IMI Desert Eagle
The main pistol is a Desert Eagle .50 AE which is exceptionally weak (in the game), but has good range and accuracy. The drawback on the gun is the muzzle climb whenever you fire.
Franchi Spas 12
The main shotgun in the game is a Franchi SPAS 12. It is a twelve gauge shotgun with a powerful punch which can blow someone's head up with a couple rounds to the head. Like all of the guns in the game, muzzle climb is a drawback. If you have any cat in your inventory, you can use it as effective "silencer", but it only lasts several shots until it's blown away from the barrel.
Look at the screenshot you posted under the entry for the Desert Eagle...that is clearly a Remington 870 with a pistol grip and folding stock kit.
No, although, similar, the Remington 870 has a longer barrel, a different pump, and a different stock. Also, the 870 is smaller in comparison, and the image is listed as the SPAS. But it is very similar.
- Here is a picture we have under the Remington 870 entry:
- This looks FAR more like the shotgun in the game than the SPAS-12 (except that this one lacks a heat shield, unlike the one in the game). Remember that the 3D in-game model is never going to be perfectly proportional and accurate to the real firearm, but it seems clear to me that the artists used a folding-stock Remington 870 with a heat shield as their reference.
Yeah, that's cool, but I looked at some pictures of the game again, and I noticed that there is a section on the barrel in the game which contains venting holes near the chamber, and I've never seen that on an 870. And I also noticed that the ejector port on the shotgun (in-game) is on the other side of the gun. I've seen all of these things in a SPAS, but I haven't in an 870. Is there any models like that? (I'm serious, my expertise in weapons goes into Pistols, Sub-machines, machines etc, etc, but not shotguns.)
- I've looked at some screenshots from the game showing the gauge (i.e. http://www.postal2.com/postal2/screenshots/factory4.jpg). To be honest, that heat shield looks a bit more like the ones available for the Mossberg M590 than the 870. But everything else about the gun screams Remington 870 folder, particularly the holes on the top of the folding stock (you can see them in the pic of the 870 I posted...barely). The SPAS-12 also has holes on the sides of the arms of its folding stock...the shotgun in Postal 2 doesn't.
- As far as the left-hand ejection port goes, there is no shotgun I've ever seen that has that (certainly not the SPAS-12 or the 870). It's just something many game developers tend to do because they think the gun needs to be able to eject shells from the player's perspective even if the player is right-handed. All of the Counter-Strike guns are the same way; it's not at all accurate, just a bit of artistic license.
So I guess we still don't know the type of shotgun, huh? Well, I guess I might just write this down as an unknown shotgun. That alright with you?
- I dunno, I still stand by my belief that it was modeled on an 870 folder.
Well, I guess, I'll just let you do what you want with it. I'm still confused.
M16A2
The M16A2 is the sole automatic rifle in the game. It has a medium powered punch, but can take down gangs easily. The range goes quite far but the accuracy sucks. The cat-silencer can be used on this weapon as well, and just like with the shotgun, it's single-use only. After approximately ten shots, the cat-silencer is blown away from the barrel.
M26 hand grenade
This is the sole grenade in the game. The M26's blast radius is pretty far and is extraordinarily strong. Nice for taking out the bands and protesters in the game! KABOOM
Remington M40 sniper rifle
The Remington M40 sniper rifle is the only sniper rifle in the game. The rate of fire is exceptionally slow and is useless if not used with the help of the scope that is attached to the top of the rifle. If not, the accuracy is very very very very bad. If not used, the damage ratio goes down as well.
M136 AT4
This is one of the two rocket launchers in the game. Basically the M136 AT4 is just a grenade launcher with farther range in distance and has a heat seeker capability.
