To serve as a WIP version of the article until it is finished.

Developed by Vertigo Games and Jaywalkers Interactive, Arizona Sunshine is an action-focused virtual reality (VR) zombie shooter. Released on December 6, 2016, the game follows a nameless, wisecracking protagonist (the player) on their post-apocalyptic expedition through the zombie-infested American southwest. Arizona Sunshine can be played in single-player or cooperatively with up to 3 other players. For defending against the ever-present zombie threat, various firearms (including handguns, submachine guns, and assault rifles) and plenty of ammunition may be discovered and utilized by the player.
The following weapons appear in the video game Arizona Sunshine:
Overview
In the interest of keeping the game accessible to a playerbase which was, at the time, unaccustomed to realistic virtual guns, many of the game's weapons are one-handed only. An update in December 2019, aptly titled the "Two-Handed Weapons Update," however, added several new two-handed rifles and carbines to diversify the game's weapon offerings. All guns feature a universal, simple reloading procedure. This consists of pressing a button to eject the magazine and moving the (now empty) firearm to the player's "ammunition belt," which is located roughly near their belly button, to reload the weapon instantly. This also allows for easy dual-wielding reloads. Ammunition is stored on the player and can be looted throughout the game. It is split into four types, each of which is used by a different type (or types) of weapon:
- Pistol ammunition - used by handguns
- Submachine gun ammunition - used by submachine guns, rifles, and carbines
- Shotgun ammunition - used by the shotgun
- Grenade launcher ammunition - used by the grenade launcher
Handguns
Handguns are the most common class of weapon in Arizona Sunshine. They all pull from the "pistol ammunition" weapon pool, always kill a zombie in a single headshot, and are one-handed only.
Beretta M9
A Beretta M9 can be found in the "Refinery" level. It has an incorrect 12-round magazine capacity and has relatively clear, easy-to-use iron sights. It deals average damage on bodyshot, killing a zombie in 3 shots when not aiming for the head.
Colt M1911A1
A Colt M1911A1 with an oversized hammer and tritium glow sights is the player's starting weapon. It can hold 7 rounds and deals somewhat low damage (despite its caliber), meaning that it is best replaced by almost any other sidearm. It correctly fires in single-action only.
