Billy's Handgun

(Can someone identify this one, please?) (It would appear to be an M1911A1, or one of the many variants thereof. ) (Don't know if it's really standard issue for the army, but it seems to be a Kimber of some sort.)

There aren't any 9mm Kimbers and the Army no longer uses 1911s as their standard sidearms in the 80s and they never used 9mm chambered 1911s. They now use the Beretta M9. It could be a clone of a 1911 that is chambered in 9mm. Excalibur01 10:10, 18 January 2009 (UTC)
It's defiantly a clone of the 1911, reflecting some designs from the SV Infinity line up of Handguns. It was possibly a custom gun, one of the Officer's kept with him prior to and during transport with Billy Cohen. Draco122

Well, keep in mind that Resident Evil is a Japenese game, so it could be the Japenese army's weapon of choice. I don't really know what the Japenese really uses anyway, so just a thought. ColonelTomb

-Definitely not. The J.S.D.F use SIG P22X (can't remember which derivative could be a P226) as their standard sidearm. Remember this was the period when they started to use 'Pseudo guns'(Guns that resemble realistic models but not 100% genuine) presumably to dodge copyright infringements.

Remember to keep in mind that the Resident Evil series isn't terribly realistic - the weapon is probably modeled after a .45 1911 and uses 9mm for gameplay reasons.

Plus the Resident Evil games have weapons in all kinds of wierd configurations. To me, it looks like an M1911 with an open slide, I would say the designers based it on an M1911, and designed it to look unique.--Alienqueen11 05:22, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Or the most obvious reason why this gun is in 9mm is because all the handgun ammo you find in the game are 9mm. Even if this was a 9mm 1911, it wouldn't hold 15 rounds. Most guns in Resident Evil would have to use the same kind of ammunition for gameplay purposes. Excalibur01 05:16, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

  • It does have an open-top slide, like a Beretta, guys. (protoAuthor)

This debate was getting a bit large, so I took the liberty of moving it to the discussion page. Hope doing so was okay. Spartan198 12:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC) Spartan198

- Billy's Handgun doesn't exist, it's just something Capcom threw together. An M1911 with an open top slide, using 15 9mm rounds, modified grip, multi-tone design. Like a lot of their guns, they just made it themsevles.

Magnum

Looks like a cross between a Desert Eagle, specificly the .357 verison and a 1911 variant. Excalibur01 05:17, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

(Not sure what this one is, but if I had to guess I'd say AMT Hardballer.)

I'd say an Automag Model 5. - Gunmaster45
Nah, it doesn't have the shape of an Automag Excalibur01 01:16, 2 April 2009 (UTC)
It's gun that Capcom made up to avoid paying the rights to use a real gun.Oliveira 00:58, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Moved to discussion page. Anyhow, the Resident Evil Wiki identified it as a "Sporting Int. Magnum Custom Edition chambered in .50 Action Express". Are there any existing pistols by that name? Spartan198

I don't know any guns with that name. You better Ask MT2008.-Oliveira 13:13, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

I think it's based off the LAR Grizzly Mark V. Some were chambered for the .50 AE cartridge.

I'm thinking it's a Coonan Arms .357 Magnum. The Coonan Models A & B look pretty much exactly like a beefed up 1911. The Cadet version was a bit more compact (for a .357 Magnum firing semi-auto, anyway). Lonecontractor 02:19, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

ALL of the guns in Resident Evil (2002) and Resident Evil 0 are fictional in some way. The Samurai Edge is called a Samurai Edge and not a Beretta 92 for licensing reasons. The "Magnum" is a totally fictional design, as is the Pump Shotgun, Sub-Machine Gun (a slightly "updated" version with a new UMP-like stock was seen in Umbrella Chronicles) and so on. This was done in Resident Evil 4 as well, to a much greater degree. DanKnyphausen
