Hand Guns

Silver Ghost

Leon Kennedy's standard weapon, the Silver Ghost[1] is often mistaken for an Heckler & Koch USP. However, Ryoumura Jyoshin (the weapon designer for the Devil May Cry, Biohazard and Dino Crisis series) claims that he designed the weapon himself with no individual base model.

Anatomically, the Silver Ghost bears a very close resemblance to the Smith & Wesson Sigma, especially in the slide, magazine, and lower frame. In the game the gun has brown checked grips and a stainless steel slide. The weapon however is shown with a hammer as opposed to a striker. It features an extended barrel, threaded for sound suppressor which is not a feature on the S&W Sigma pistols but are featured in the H&K USP. The Silver Ghost is a bit longer than the Sigma or USP.

Albert Wesker uses this weapon in the Mercenaries Mini game, albeit equipped with a detachable suppressor.

Punisher (FN Five-seveN)

Based off of Fabrique Nationale's Five-seveN handgun which normally chambers the 5.7mm cartridge originally intended to pierce low-levels of body armor. The version seen in-game chambers regular 9mm Parabellum. In game, the weapon has the ability to pierce shields and multiple enemies. It has a modified trigger.

This weapon, which is the smallest handgun in the game, can be purchased from the Merchant or won in a contest after shooting ten of fifteen blue medallions scattered across two areas. If all targets have been shot, the Punisher will have a free upgrade added onto it, making it slightly more powerful than the standard Handgun.

The gun is used by Ada in Assignment Ada and The Mercenaries, and by Leon in the main game.

Red 9 (Mauser C96 Red 9)

A 9mm version of the Mauser C96 handgun, one of the first automatic handguns to enter production in the world. The Red9 version was developed during World War I and chambered 9mm Parabellum to keep ammo supplies standard, but when soldiers began to load the weapon with the wrong type of ammunition, a large Red 9 was placed on the grip to differentiate the model from the standard Mauser.

This weapon can be purchased from the Merchant, along with a stock which improves its accuracy significantly. It is the most powerful 9mm handgun in the game.

Vagrant Spaniard Luis Sera uses this as his primary weapon in the main game.

Blacktail (Springfield Armory XD)

The Blacktail, based on a Springfield XD in 9x19mm has a better handling than the standard handgun. Purchased from the Merchant. Ada uses this as her handgun in the main game and Seperate ways. Leon uses it in The Mercenaries. Fully upgraded, it is the fastest firing handgun in the game. It also seems a bit bigger than the real Springfield XD

Matilda (Heckler & Koch VP-70)

The Matilda, an H&K VP-70 is unlocked to be purchased from the Merchant after successfully completing the Normal difficulty of the game. It has a stock, although, unlike other guns in the game the stock cannot be removed. It is the same gun Leon has in Resident Evil 2. Fires three-round bursts. The gun's name is a reference to the movie Leon The Professional, though they have spelled Mathilda's name incorrectly.

Thirty cartridges, yeah right. You'll be hard pressed to find one with more than 20.

Magnums

Broken Butterfly

The Broken Butterfly is a double action revolver chambered in .45 Magnum. Notice the gun is a top-break revolver, there are few revolvers it could be, one user stated that it was an Colt Single Action Army combined with a Smith & Wesson Schofield. May be found in a section of the castle after freeing Ashley, or may be purchased from the Merchant.

The barrel's frame resembles Model 3, while the body frame is nearly identical to Colt S.A.A. It uses the same ammunition as Killer7 despite the .45 Magnum is not fully interchangeable with some early .45 versions, especially between Revolvers and Semi-Autos.

Note: There is also a variant appear in another Capcom's historic Beat-em Up video game Devil Kings (used by Lady Butterfly).

Though black in detail view and in game, the Broken Butterfly shows up as nickel plated in the attache case.

Killer7 (Colt M1911 with AMT Hardballer-styled laser sight)

The Killer 7 is a magnum version of the Colt M1911 that may be purchased from the Merchant, the only weapon that has no exclusive ability when fully upgraded. The in game version is equipped with a scope-style laser. The name of the weapon is a reference to the game Killer7, in which the character Kaede uses a similarly modified 1911. The design of the gun is a Terminator homage.

A rare sight, but a welcome one.

Handcannon (Smith & Wesson Model 500)

The Handcannon, based on a S&W Model 500 is available if you can get a five-star rank with all characters on all stages (Mercenary Mode). When fully upgraded has infinite ammunition and deals the highest damage of any non-explosive weapon in the game. The in-game weapon is equipped with a laser sight.The recoil is noticeably stronger in the game than in real life (despite Leon being a strong, experienced magnum shooter), probably because the bullets it fires are more powerful than the real life .500 Magnum.

Bonus

A box of Handcannon ammo. .5 (.50) caliber, probably supposed to be Action Express. The cartridges looks to have a rim, which means .500 S&W magnum. Not .50AE.

The answer to this question is always yes.

Sub Machine Guns

TMP (Steyr TMP)

The Steyr TMP, simply called the TMP may be purchased from the Merchant. A stock may also be purchased to improve accuracy and reduce recoil. HUNK uses a TMP modified with a fixed stock, fore-grip, sawn-off barrel, and PEW laser sight box in The Mercenaries. Krauser also uses this same modified TMP in his boss battle in the main game. Ada also uses it in Mercenaries and regular game. The bullets it uses are custom 9mm ammunition, different from the 9mm handgun ammo

Brügger & Thomet MP9

In The Mercenaries minigame, HUNK carries a customized TMP based on the Brügger & Thomet MP9 as his weapon. It has several upgrades and looks slightly different from the standard TMP, as well as being already equipped with a folding stock.

The arms dealer from Far Cry 2 would love this stuff.

Chicago Typewriter (M1A1 Thompson)

The Thompson submachine gun or Chicago Typewriter as it is called in the game is unlocked by completing the sidestory assignment Ada and may be purchased from the Merchant for 1 million pesetas after that. Comes with unlimited ammo. If used with the Mafia costume (unique to the PS2, PC and Wii versions of the game), it will load from drum magazines, while the handguard is replaced with the foregrip normally found on the 1921 and 1928 Thompson variants.

Reloading is not necessary, but hey. Leon rocks in a new magazine, then tilts the Typewriter sideways to pull the bolt.

Shotguns

Shotgun (Remington 870)

May be obtained in one of three ways. On Easy mode the weapon is in your inventory, on Normal modes or higher you may obtain it for free in the upstairs section of a house in the Ganados Village, or you may purchase this weapon from the Merchant.

Easily the lowest detail weapon model in the game.
  • Actually this is particularly a Remington 870 Express Turkey Pump 21" Barrel.

Riot Shotgun (Benelli M3 Super 90)

A stainless shotgun that bears great resemblance of both Benelli M3 and M4 with the collapsible stock and pump action mechanism. It is identically the same version of Assault Shotgun from Resident Evil Remake (2002). Many fans mistakenly claim this one M4, however the real M4 is semi-auto only while M3 has both action types. The in-game version is actually a modified M3, because many of Benelli M1, M3 and M4 stocks are interchangeable, although no such weapon confirmed nor seen in the real world.

The weapon may be purchased from the Merchant from Chapter 3-1. It is also used by Leon in the Mercenaries.

Riot Shotgun. Rumor has it shotguns with pistol grip AND stock handle poorly, but whatever.

The same weapon as it appears in Resident Evil Remake (2002)

Striker (Armsel Protecta)

The Armsel Protecta may be purchased from the Merchant. Upgraded to maximum it has a 100-round drum, which Leon can reload completely by putting two cartridges into it. Leon aims and fires the Striker from the hip, like Ada's shotgun

Ada's Shotgun (Mossberg 500)

Rifles

Bolt Action Rifle (Springfield M1903A4)

A modified version of the Springfield rifle which fired .30-06 cartridges, while this version fires .223 caliber rounds. May be purchased from the Merchant. A higher magnification scope can be bought for the rifle, increasing it's accuracy at long range.

Semi-Auto Rifle (Heckler & Koch SL8)

A Semi-Auto H&K SL8 may be purchased by Leon from the Merchant. Like the bolt-action rifle, a custom scope can also be attached. This gun is used by Ada in Seperate Ways, Assignment Ada, and The Mercenaries. It is also used by Wesker in The Mercenaries.

Arms Dealer Exclusives

The Merchant has a few weapons on display that can not be purchased. These include a Steyr SPP, a few (very, very low-detail) Makarov PMs, and a strange low-detail rifle, looking something like a SIG SG 550.

Seriously low resolution Makarov at the Merchant's shop.

Perhaps a SIG SG 550. With a bayonet.

Actually, they don't look like Makarovs to me. I realize the programmers probably weren't gun experts but if anything they look like beretta or taurus autos. maybe a beretta cougar with brown grips?

That rifle isn't a '550, I'm sure. It looks like an SL8.

Special

Rocket Launcher/Special Rocket Launcher/Infinite Launcher (RPG-7)

The standard Rocket Launcher may be purchased any time from the Merchant, or you will find one in the Castle. The Special Rocket Launcher is a special-event item. The Infinite Rocket Launcher is available for purchase from the Merchant upon completion of the game once.

Not Guns

Bow Gun

May be purchased from Merchant in Separate Ways, and is often seen in the hands of monks and militia. The enemy version is unusable by the player and fires burning bolts (the fire doesn't have any effect) while the usable version shoots exploding bolts.

Minethrower

May be purchased from Merchant. The weapon fires custom darts with explosive tips that embed themselves in an enemy and detonate after a period of time. When fully upgraded its mines will automatically home in on the nearest enemy.

Krauser's Bow

Krauser uses this weapon in Mercenaries minigame. In the main boss battle it fires explosive arrows. Possibly a reference to Rambo.

Plaga Removal Laser(P.R.L.) 412

Available after beating game in Professional mode. The weapon uses a light based laser that will annihilate anyone/thing in Leon's line of sight. 300px

Los Illuminados Gatling Gun

Used by a senior monk of the Los Illuminados cult in the Castle section of the game and by the Militia in the Island section, it has alot of barrels but it has an average suppressive fire machine gun rate of fire, which makes all those barrels redundant, it caliber is probably between 5.56 NATO and 7.62 NATO, maybe even .50 BMG. Cannot be used by the player.

GE M134 Minigun

This gun is used by J.J. (The minigun wielding Gannado) and cannot be used by the player.

Dart Rifle

A Villager uses a dart rifle to render Ada unconscious.
