Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The standard handgun used by almost everyone in the game is a barely-modified Desert Eagle Mark XIX. Washington has two of these in the games cut scenes. The guns have AMS Research Magnum written on the slide, which could be referencing the DE, and engraved is .44 Magnum on the side again referencing it to the DE.

In the Extended Cut, each character's AMS Magnum(s) are slightly different. Agent G's, the one used in normal gameplay, is given a redesigned Picatinny rail above the barrel and a second rail attached underneath. Washington's are given white (possibly pearl) grips with gold-plated hammers and safeties; this is an unlockable version of the weapon given the name "Gwendolyn".

Agent G holds his Desert Eagle. It is the Mark XIX version with a very low-detailed "teardrop" safety and unused picatinny rails. ".44" can be seen written on the barrel. Note also that the rear sight on the model is a single post like the front sight.

Hand Cannon

Possibly based on the Taurus Raging Bull. Available to buy after you complete the main story mode once in the original game. This weapon can be upgraded to carry a maximum of 7 rounds, instead of the 5 it originally carried. There is also a Wii Remote adapter based on this weapon. In the Extended Cut version, the model is changed to a Colt Python customized similarly like Barry Burton's model in Resident Evil. Papa Caesar is seen carrying a short-barreled version in the opening cutscene to the fifth level, "The Fetid Waters".

Benelli Nova Tactical

The Benelli Nova appears in the original game as the "Shotgun". Has a slow reload time and rate of fire, due to it being pump-action, but makes up for this in the damage it does.

Mossberg 500

The Mossberg 500 is seen on the same poster and cover art as the Beretta mentioned above, only being wielded by Washington. In the Extended Cut, this replaces the Benelli Nova as the "Shotgun".

Benelli M3 Super 90

Appears in the original game as the "Automatic Shotgun". Is by far one of the best weapons in the game, due to its immense damage rate, high rate of fire and quick reload time compared to the standard Shotgun.

SPAS-12

The SPAS-12 appears in the PS3 and PC ports as the "Automatic Shotgun".

Steyr TMP

Called the "SMG" in game, the Steyr TMP has a nickel finish with black grips and can be purchased from the gun shop. Does relatively low damage, but the amount of bullets fired makes up for this.

Minebea M-9

In the Extended Cut, the above TMP is replaced as the "SMG" with what appears to be Minebea M-9, judging by the attached foregrip and overall blocky appearance.

Heckler & Koch XM8

The Heckler & Koch XM8 appears as the "Assault Rifle" in the game. Does very good damage, fires in an inaccurate 3-round burst mode, and has a decent magazine capacity, and is very accurate. G and Washington are seen loading these up in the intro to the final level, "Overkill", and later use them in the cutscene before the final boss is battled.

Right now he is slapping the bolt catch release button with isn't even there (on the gun model and on the real gun either). The real XM8 has a bolt catch release button inside the trigger guard. This mistake is not present in the original Wii version of the game.

Hand Held Minigun

Used against the final boss. Due to a "missing reel" prank, it is unknown where Agent G and Washington get these weapons from (they were apparently just lying around). G and Washington are also seen wielding them on the poster for the level "Overkill", with Agent G wielding his one-handed! Once the Director's Cut mode of the game has been beaten (in the original; the Extended Cut only requires beating the normal game), this weapon becomes available for purchase. This weapon never has to be reloaded, but can overheat quickly, and is fairly inaccurate.
