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.

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.

Although it has a combination action, it is only used as a pump-action shotgun by Lara.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

Mk 19 as it appears in-game

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.
