Aside from the machete, the Desert Eagle is the lightest weapon in the game; useful since Far Cry uses a stamina gauge to regulate how much Jack can sprint; for gameplay reasons, only Jack's currently equipped weapon is taken as weighing anything.
The Accuracy International AW50F [identified by the distinctive Madco barrel] is present as the "Sniper Rifle." It features a precision optic scope with a built-in rangefinder and variable magnification; 3x, 6x, 12x and 18x.
A fictional rocket launcher is used in-game, possibly extremely loosely based on the M202 FLASH multi-shot rocket launcher; the Far Cry launcher, however, has a single common exhaust for all four tubes, and reloads using a four-rocket magazine located at the weapon's midpoint.

Browning M2 heavy machine guns are seen mounted on various vehicles throughout the game, and can be controlled by Jack when he is using them. They have limited ammunition supplies, but do not overheat as in many other games.
