Resident Evil 4 (2023 VG)
The following weapons appear in the video game Resident Evil 4 (2023 VG):
Overview
Handguns
All pistols except for the C96 can hold one in the chamber. The ammo cartridge in-game claims the caliber used is 9x19mm Parabellum.
Heckler & Koch USP
A customized Heckler & Koch USP appears as the "SG-09 R". It is the replacement for Leon's original handgun, with the "SG" possibly standing in for "Silver Ghost". The SG-09 R has a slightly longer frame in order to fit a built-in compensator.
FN Five-seveN FDE
The FN Five-seveN returns as the "Punisher" in Resident Evil 4. Rather than being purchased with pesetas, the player can now trade it in for 5 spinels. It retains its unique ability among pistols to penetrate multiple enemies through a single shot. Its usage of 9x19mm Parabellum is incorrect.
Mauser C96 "Red 9"
The Mauser C96 returns under its classic moniker, the "Red9". One can be found for free in the middle of the lake in Chapter 4.
Springfield Armory XD
The Springfield Armory XD returns as the "Blacktail". Compared to the other pistols, it takes up the least space in the attache case.
Heckler & Koch VP70M
The Heckler & Koch VP70M reappears under its series name, the "Matilda". Instead of an endgame unlock, it can be purchased for 10 spinels, and its stock permitting 3 round bursts now comes separately.
SIG-Sauer P226 E2 "Sentinel Nine"
Leon's sidearm of choice from Resident Evil: Vendetta, a custom SIG-Sauer P226 E2, appears in Resident Evil 4 under its in-universe name "Sentinel Nine". It can be obtained by purchasing its DLC or through the Deluxe edition.
Funnily enough, this weapon's appearance is anachronistic; the grip of the gun is branded with the in-universe organization Division of Security Operations' (DSO) logo, which was not formed until 2011.
Magnums
Magnums in-game use .45 ACP.
Smith & Wesson Schofield
The "Broken Butterfly" returns, and is now entirely a Smith & Wesson Schofield, rather than mix of it and the Colt Single Action Army. The weapon's ammo capacity can humorously be upgraded, despite only 6 rounds being visible in the cylinder.
LAR Grizzly
The LAR Grizzly Pistol replaces the Colt M1911 as the "Killer7". It still retains its Terminator-esque laser sight mounted on the top of the slide. Unlike its original counterpart, it now has an exclusive upgrade, which increases its critical hit rate. It also benefits from the "one in the chamber" mechanic that the other pistols have.
Smith & Wesson Model 500
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 returns as the "Handcannon". It is unlocked by completing a New Game on Professional without using any bonus weapons (The M1A1 Thompson and "Primal Knife"). Its exclusive upgrade once again grants it infinite ammunition.
Wearing Leon's "Pinstripe" outfit with the Handcannon while it has infinite ammo will have Leon perform a stylish move.
Shotguns
Remington 870
The Remington 870 returns as the "W-870" and reuses its model from Resident Evil 2. It is obtained in the exact same method as the original game.
Benelli M3 Super 90
The Benelli M3 Super 90 fitted with an M4 stock from Resident Evil 3 appears as the "Riot Gun". It is made available in Chapter 6 and has the tightest spread of all the shotguns.
Cobray Street Sweeper
The SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper is available as the "Striker" and can be purchased during and after Chapter 10. It holds 12 shells at base, up to an absurd 48 with its exclusive upgrade. Fully upgraded, Leon can also inexplicably reload 12 shells into his gun by inserting a single shell in.
Winchester Model 1887
A sawed off Winchester Model 1887 appears as the "Skull Shaker". It can be purchased as its own DLC or with the Deluxe Edition, and then obtained from the typewriter.
The Skull Shaker starts off horrifically underloaded with a 2 round capacity, but can be upgraded to 6. Upon firing, Leon will flip cock the weapon; though this is inadvisable due to the possibility of the user breaking their fingers, viewing Leon performing the action in Photo Mode will reveal that he only uses a finger or two to flip the weapon.
Submachine Guns
Steyr TMP
The Steyr TMP returns in Resident Evil 4. The TMP's stock must now be purchased with spinels rather than pesetas.
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
The Heckler & Koch MP5A5, a new addition to the remake, appears as the "LE 5". For some reason, it is missing both the rear and front sight, though this is probably because it is the only SMG able to mount optics.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson returns as the "Chicago Sweeper" and is unlocked by completing the game on Professional difficulty with at least an A rank (under 7 hours). It then can be obtained from the typewriter. It is severely nerfed from its previous incarnation, no longer sporting absurd damage and infinite ammunition upon purchase. Its exclusive upgrade grants the weapon infinite ammo, as well as updating the model to include a drum magazine. This is incorrect, as M1 models can only utilize stick magazines.
Wearing Leon's "Pinstripe" outfit with the Chicago Sweeper while it has infinite ammo will have Leon perform a stylish move.
Rifles
M1903 Springfield
The M1903 Springfield returns as the "SR M1903". It no longer reloads through stripper clips, instead being reloaded individually.
Heckler & Koch SL8
The Heckler & Koch SL8 with a gray polymer stock returns as the "Stingray".
Colt Model 933
The same Colt Model 933 that appears in 2020's remake of Resident Evil 3 also shows up in Resident Evil 4, once again as the "CQBR Assault Rifle". It can be obtained for free after completing a puzzle in the library of the castle. It holds 20 rounds by default and can be upgraded to 32, and is also compatible with optics.
In-game, it uses rifle (.223 Remington) ammo. Even though this mostly makes sense (.223 Remington is almost identical to 5.56x45mm NATO), the CQBR's longevity is put into question once you realize that having an automatic weapon use an ammo type meant for snipers will probably burn through reserves rather quickly.
Launchers
RPG-7
The RPG-7 returns as the generic "Rocket Launcher". Once again, it is disposed after firing a single round, although it will quickly destroy just about anything, including bosses. If one does not feel like throwing their money away for a one-time use weapon, an infinite variant is also available in New Game+ for 2,000,000 pesetas.
Certain Ganados on the island may also be equipped with the RPG-7.
