The .38 caliber Colt Detective Special snubnose revolver is the weakest firearm in the game. It has very limited range and stopping power. Usually carried by detectives but they are also occasionally carried by police officers and gangsters as a backup weapon. In the later missions of the game Tommy himself carries one as a backup weapon, but with no additional bullets for it.
The most common pistol in the game is the .45 caliber Colt M1911A1. It has good stopping power and a high rate of fire. Very effective at close range.The main sidearm of Tommy Angelo.
The .38 caliber Smith & Wesson Model 10 Military & Police is the weapon of choice of the Lost Heaven police department, but it is also carried by various gangsters and is given to the player in a couple of missions.
The most powerful pistol in the game is the .357 Magnum Smith & Wesson Model 27. It is used by some enemy gangsters. It is also used quite prominently as a sidearm by Paulie (in the mission "Great Deal"), and Don Salieri (in "Bon Appetit"). Paulie's use of it in "Great Deal" is anachronistic, because the mission takes place in 1933, even though the Model 27 was first manufactured in 1935.
The gun is also used in earlier missions, which take place in 1930 to 1935, making its use at least 5 years prior to is production
The .30-06 M1903 Springfield is used by various enemies, and is far more common than the Mosin-Nagant. Its 5-round magazine is always reloaded with (invisible) stripper clips, and for some reason triggering a reload will make any rounds left in the magazine disappear, as if Tommy is detaching and replacing the magazine like the other weapons.
A sawed-off shotgun of unknown manufacture, with the barrels and stock removed and using a break-open action. Often referred to as a "Lupara" (its traditional Italian name), it is occasionally issued to Tommy by Vincenzo, Salieri's armourer, for assassinations or executions (Vincenzo refers to its use as "the traditional Sicilian way"). Such missions include the "Omertà" and "Crème de la crème" levels. The weapon is also used by enemy gangsters, especially those riding in black cars in Free Ride mode.
The pump-action 12-gauge Winchester Model 1897 shotgun is a very dependable full size shotgun. Used by the police, both Mafia families, and various thugs the player encounters. Its ability to reload at any time without having to lose ammo (thanks to its tubular magazine) is also very helpful. Also, the shotgun in-game holds 8 rounds, instead the correct 5+1.
The Mk 2 hand grenade is the frag grenade used in the game. They are usable only in the missions "Great Deal" and "You Lucky Bastard". It is also used by enemy gangsters in "The Death of Art" about half way through the mission.
Early versions of the game included the anachronistic Smith & Wesson Model 442 revolver with a steel finish and wooden grips. The S&W 442 was later replaced by authentic Colt Detecive Special. The S&W 442 still remains in the game files; it can be used, if the player changes the game files.
