Matty, i hope you don't mind my edit to make this article live up to the sites standards. - Flying Dane

FYI, none of the weapons other then Grigori's rifle are human made. They are all designed and produced by Combine Magick. 85.108.93.236 21:49, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Actually, most of the combine's tech is human made. If it isn't their black metal, dark energy or alive, it's human-made.--69.122.209.65 10:36, 28 November 2009 (UTC)

They are based on human design and possibly produced in converted factories of their respective real life brands, but still they are not the same since whole premise of the game is having human armies dismantled in 7 hours. Sure probably some gutted and amputated human slave worked on said factories :P 78.176.98.75 00:51, 24 December 2009 (UTC)

Introduction

Hey there Everybody im further here and lawful figured it make known myself in preference to i jumped into any conversations. has anyone noticed alyx has an unknown pistol. its not usp match or the revolver. its black and has cream coloured grips

its a glock17 modified to be fully automatic

i have a bunch of pics and its not a glock

-suggestion- alyx's gun looks (to me) like a modified version of this little-known gun: http://www.fsdip.com/website/VBRBelgiumHome/English/ThePDW792VBRBCompact/tabid/190/Default.aspx the VBR Belgium PDW.

itdoeslokmlike it. i have updated the page with alyxsgun and the gravity gun smish34

How-to get father grigorys shotgun

i have found a foolproof way of getting the prized shotgun of father grigory. i know thismight get deleted and isnt of any significance but i thought i would put it her anyway. ok first of all start the chapter @we dont go to ravenholm make sure you keep spare magnum rounds. at least 3. play though the level normally untill you get to the part where you first meet the dreaded 'fast zombies'. kill the zombie and instead of going up through the building where you meet father grigory at the top, go down the small steps untill you get below the water tower. dispose of thezombies and headcrabs. then look upwards and you will see the small platform where grigory is. if you zoom you will see the Spas-12 and the annabelle shotguns. get out your magnum and shoot the Spas-12. it should fly upinto the air either off of the map or down to where you are standing. go grab the spas-12 if it is in the vicinity. now look up again and only the annabelle should be there. now continue up through the building to the top, but be carful out side on the roof thereis a fast zombie waiting for you, instead of running over the opposite roof. then go to where father grigory speaks. instead of holding the spas-12 he will have the annabelle. a wierd animation glitch will occour, but then he will throw you the gun. but...there is always a but. it doesnt look like the annabelle. itwill look exactly the same as the Spas-12 butit will only fire 2 375. magnum rounds. these rounds are very very powerful and accurate, it is verysimilarto howthe revolver works. i have also found a glitch tofire this sort-of fully automatic. when fireing hold down the reload button and the fire button at the same time. all of the rounds will fire with quick succession very usefull for taking down a harder enemy. it is a worth while gun to get. this isnt a hack, cheat or a mod. the gun appears underneath the gravity gun and has the lable 'SHOTGUN' thanks for reading i hope this is useful smish34 22.50 gmt-0 05/01/2010

EDIT:sorry but this is only available on the XBOX version of the game, not on orange box andunknown for PC smish34

Well then,it works for me!--Pump_Shotty_Justice 02:42, 26 January 2010 (UTC) what console/platform are you on? smish34

I found that when you have annabelle you can't access the Overwatch rifle (forgot the name) unless annabelle is empty.--66.30.50.180 23:21, 1 March 2010 (UTC)

Or you could just turn down the gravity (I've only played it on PC). - Aml1989 14:29, 22 March 2010 (UTC)

Python issue

I've looked at the game's textures, and .357's texture seems to actually be that of a Colt Anaconda, as noted by the name appearing on the side of the barrel, at least on the world model.-protoAuthor 00:20, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

XM29

Funny story...I remember how, before the game was released, the DoD announced that it would not pursue further development on the XM29 because the damn thing was too huge and cost too much. On Gamespy's Planet Half-Life message board, somebody posted the article, and we all wondered if the cancellation of the XM29 meant that it would also be replaced in Half-Life 2. Sure enough, the first in-game images of the Combine Pulse Rifle started showing up a few months later. -MT2008 16:09, 16 May 2010 (UTC)

Is it possible to convert the SPAS-12's tube magazine into another barrel?

I know you would have to remove the pump mechanism and modify it heavily, but is it at all possible? That's One Angry Duck 18:11, 19 July 2010 (UTC)

Like most games by Valve, their weapons are only partially based on real design. They add things like burst fire on Glock 17s and double barrel firing on the SPAS-12 for balance. Dannysaysnoo 18:18, 19 July 2010 (UTC)
