Looks to have a eject-rod socket so I'd say a Smith & Wesson Model 10. StanTheMan (talk) 01:47, 8 April 2016 (EDT)

Automatic

One of the disguised Nova guards in the bar uses an automatic.

The disguised guard fires at Number 5.

A Walther P5 perhaps? --Funkychinaman 12:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

I agree, Walther P5. StanTheMan (talk) 01:47, 8 April 2016 (EDT)

Front view.

Actually, it's a rocket launcher. Do we cover missiles and rockets here? --Funkychinaman 12:37, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

Last I checked. - Kooshmeister

That's a 7-shot Hydra 70 unguided rocket pod, which is outside the scope of this wiki. Also, I believe the helicopter is a Bell OH-58A Kiowa scout helicopter, basically a militarized version of the Bell 206 JetRanger. Orca1 9904 (talk) 20:15, 7 April 2016 (EDT)

We don't have actual pages for aircraft ordinance like that but I think this can be noted on the page itself as is done on some other pages. That said, indeed that is a 7-cell Hydra FFAR pod. StanTheMan (talk) 01:47, 8 April 2016 (EDT)
