NikoB Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 (edited) THIS IS THE OFFICIAL WEAPON GUIDE Fists/Held Item Pretty self explanatory, use your fists to beat people up. You can also pick up bottles, bricks, cans etc. - and throw them. So dont just think guns and melee are the only things you can use to defend yourself. Pistol Basis: Glock 17 Range: 50 Accuracy: decent Capacity: 17 Reload: 2 sec Damage: 25 Rate: 3 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $600 Little Jacobs Price: $420 Developed in the '80s by Austrian engineer, Gaston Glock, the eponymous pistol went on to become the world's most popular civilian and law enforcement sidearm. Thanks to its polymer frame and simple, internal striker-fired mechanism, the Glock is both lightweight and extremely durable. The Glock has very good accuracy within its effective range, and one shot to the head is always a kill, even against armored targets. Combat Pistol Basis: Desert Eagle Range: 50 Accuracy: decent Capacity: 9 Reload: 2 sec Damage: 40 Rate: 3 rnds/sec Price: $1500 Little Jacobs Price: N/A In 1979, Magnum Research Inc. set out to create the first gas-operated, magnum-caliber pistol. While the end product is generally considered too heavy and expensive to serve as a practical combat pistol, it hasn't stopped the Desert Eagle from becoming the weapon of choice for Hollywood (and video game) bad guys. Micro-SMG Basis: Micro Uzi Range: 50 Accuracy: decent Capacity: 50 Reload: 2.2 sec Damage: 20 Rate: 15 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $1200 Little Jacobs Price: $840 The smallest member of the Uzi family was introduced by Israel Military Industries in 1986 as a security weapon to fill the gap between pistols and fill-size submachine guns. It lacks a bit in the accuracy department due to its short barrel, but the extreme rate of fire and capacity make up the difference. A submachine gun with a high rate of fire. SMG Basis: SW MP-10 Range: 60 Accuracy: good Capacity: 30 Reload: 1.7 sec Damage: 20 Rate: 15 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $2500 Little Jacobs Price: $1750 The Special Weapons MP-10 (also known as the PXP-10) is essentially an MP5 clone with a custom polymer upper. Not much is really known about it, as it's apparently made in very small numbers by an equally small and mysterious company. Pump Shotgun Basis: Winchester 1300 Range: 35 Accuracy: poor Capacity: 8 Reload: 2.9 sec Damage: 20* Rate: 0.8 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $1400 Little Jacobs Price: N/A Based roughly on the classic Remington model 870, the Winchester 1300 line is also known as the "Speed Pump" series thanks to the short, fast cycling of the action. This feature has made the shotgun popular for both sporting and security purposes. It packs a punch at close range, but is ineffective at a distance. Combat Shotgun Basis: Beretta 1201 (?) Range: 40 Accuracy: poor Capacity: 10 Reload: 2.9 sec Damage: 10* Rate: 2 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $2500 Little Jacobs Price: $1500 This seems to be based on the Baretta 1201 FP, but with the barrel of a military Remington 870. The combat shotgun has a much higher rate of fire than the pump action, and a somewhat longer effective range, but is not quite as powerful. Assault Rifle Basis: AK-47 Range: 65 Accuracy: decent Capacity: 30 Reload: 2.1 sec Damage: 30 Rate: 7.5 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $3500 Little Jacobs Price: $2450 A fan favorite. Same capacity as the M4 but not as powerful. Even after sixty years, Mikhail Kalashnikov's legendary AK-47 rifle is still a hard act to follow; both in reliability and popularity. Created with mass production in mind, the simple design and loose clearances resulted in a rifle that's practically indestructible, and that will remain functional with little maintenance or cleaning. Carbine Rifle Basis: M4 Carbine Range: 70 Accuracy: good Capacity: 30 Reload: 2.1 sec Damage: 30 Rate: 7.5 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $5000 Little Jacobs Price: $3500 Despite some teething problems with the earlier M16 variant during the Vietnam War, Eugene Stoner's 1958 AR-15 design went on to become one of the most popular and versatile rifles in the world. Given its light weight and compact size, the M4 carbine comes in handy for urban combat and police work. Sniper Rifle Basis: M40A1 Range: 1.5K Accuracy: great Capacity: 5 Reload: 1.3 sec Damage: 75 Rate: 3 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $6000 Little Jacobs Price: N/A The M40A1 started its life as a Remington 700, and was then customized by the US Marine Corps to fit their sniping needs. Strangely enough, the one in the game appears to have been further customized to use an external 10 round magazine, yet it only holds 5. Combat Sniper Basis: PSG-1 Range: 1.5K Accuracy: great Capacity: 10 Reload: 2.1 sec Damage: 75 Rate: 2.5 rnds/sec Gun Store Price: $8500 Little Jacobs Price: $5000 The PSG-1 is one of the most accurate, yet heaviest and most expensive semi-automatic sniper rifles created. An overpriced piece of stamped steel German engineering; it does the job. You'll have too much money to ever spend by the end of the game anyway. RPG Basis: RPG-7 Range: 100 Accuracy: decent Capacity: 1 Reload: 2.1 sec Damage: explosive Rate: N/A Gun Store Price: 15,000 Litlle Jacobs Price: N/A This classic anti-tank, rocket propelled grenade launcher was first used by the Soviets back in 1961. It's remained popular ever since because of its durability and low cost. Molotov Cocktail Basis: N/A Range: 35 Accuracy: N/A Capacity: NA Reload: N/A Damage: fire Rate: N/A Price: $500 Gun Store Price: $350 Rag in Alcohol. Throw and Boom. Simple as that. Only takes one to cook a human. Grenade Basis: Mk2 grenade Range: 35 Accuracy: N/A Capacity: NA Reload: N/A Damage: explosive Rate: N/A Gun Store Price: $1000 Little Jacobs Price: $700 Hand held Explosive that can easily clear any room for you. Just pull and toss, but don't hold it for too long otherwise you will blow yourself up. Baseball Bat Basis: N/A Range: 1.6 Accuracy: N/A Capacity: NA Reload: N/A Damage: 1 Rate: N/A Gun Store Price: $5 Little Jacobs Price: N/A More effective than the knife, but somewhat less subtle. Knife Basis: N/A Range: 1.6 Accuracy: N/A Capacity: NA Reload: N/A Damage: 1 Rate: N/A Gun Store Price: N/A Little Jacob Price: $100 Fast but somewhat lacking in reach compared to the bat, the knife is still an excellent melee weapon when used properly. * Damage stats seem to work on a per projectile basis. Since buckshot spreads, actual damage would depend on the number of particles which hit the target. I think this will be a use for people so pin the topic mods Edited January 18, 2009 by NikoB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
