[[Image:FalloutNewVegasUltimateEditionCoverPC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition'' (2012). The game and all its DLC was released together as the Ultimate Edition in February 2012.]]

'''''Fallout: New Vegas''''' is the fourth installment in the long-running ''Fallout'' series. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Nevada, roughly four years after (but not influenced by) the events of the previous title, ''[[Fallout 3]]''. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (''[[Alpha Protocol]]'') and published by Bethesda in 2010. The game is available for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. [[Ron Perlman]], [[Danny Trejo]], [[Kris Kristofferson]], and [[Matthew Perry]] can be found among the voice actors of the game.

The game follows the story of Courier 6, who is ambushed while carrying a mysterious package bound for New Vegas at the behest of Mr. House, the reclusive ruler of the city. Shot in the head, Courier 6 survives and soon finds themself wrapped up in the oncoming battle between the New California Republic and a band of slavers from Arizona and Colorado known as Caesar's Legion.

A host of DLC were released for the game, which were then collected into the ''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition''. The first, ''Dead Money'', revolves around a long-planned casino heist in the Sierra Madre, a famous casino locked since the Great War. ''Honest Hearts'' takes place in the post-War Zion National Park and, among other things, adds a new caliber to the game, .45 ACP. ''Old World Blues'' takes place at the scientific research facility Big Mountain or the Big MT. The final regular DLC, ''Lonesome Road'', adds backstory for the main character, Courier 6, as well as taking place in the ruins of various military installations in the towns of Hopeville and Ashton. A fifth pack, ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'', did not add any story content, but instead added a host of weapons to various vendors around the game. The sixth, ''Courier's Stash'', also did not add any new story content, nor technically any new content at all, but instead made the pre-order exclusive item packs available to everyone.

''Fallout: New Vegas'' has a very in-depth ammunition system. The player can reload ammo, and there are many variants of each ammunition type. For a list, see the [[Talk:Fallout: New Vegas|discussion page]]. Director Joshua Sawyer, via his account on the now defunct Formspring (an archive of which can be found [https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/an-archive-of-josh-sawyers-formspring-from-april-2010-through-march-2013-over-1-mb-of-text.128571/ here]) has confirmed several details about the firearms the game's weapons are based on among the many questions he has answered.

(*) indicates that the weapon was added in DLC.

{{VG Title}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
As an interesting note for the three "hammered" handguns (the Hi-Power and the two Colts): upon drawing the weapon, they will have an uncocked hammer. The first trigger pull is therefore technically in double-action mode; afterward, each subsequent shot the entire time the handgun is equipped is in single-action. While this is not correct for any of the three single-action handguns, it's still a nice touch.

==Browning Hi-Power==
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] appears as the "9mm Pistol", made by a fictional "M&A Guns Manufacturers" according to the slide legends. It can be modified with a short-range scope and a 20-round magazine. It weighs 1.5 pounds, lower than the 2.2 of the real thing. It's the most common gun in the game, standard issue to most factions like the NCR and given to the player by Doc Mitchell at the start of the game, unless the player rolled their stats into another skill beyond Guns. The standard Hi-Power is seen in the hands of series mascots Vault Boy and Vault Girl in various perk icons, and is used by Vault Boy on the achievement icon for the quest "You'll Know it When It Happens". It also appears in NCR propaganda posters. The Hi-Power is a very adequate firearm, with mediocre damage and accuracy that benefits from its high capacity (and thus DPS against lightly/unarmored opponents) and how common 9mm ammo is, but still leads to it getting replaced quickly for better sidearms.

A unique version called "Maria", based on the factory-engraved "Renaissance" model with grips painted with Our Lady of Guadalupe, is carried by Benny (voiced by Matthew Perry), which he uses to execute the Courier in the opening FMV. The player can later acquire it from him (either by killing him or pickpocketing it from him, the latter allows the player to complete the "Talk About Owned" challenge by killing Benny with Maria). Besides being fashionable, Maria boasts a higher fire rate, damage per shot and accuracy over the normal 9mm pistol at a cost of not allowing mods to be attached.

==Ruger Vaquero/Colt Single Action Army==
The ".357 Magnum Revolver" appears to blend elements of the [[Colt Single Action Army]], the [[Ruger Vaquero]], and various other SAA replicas. Like the Vaquero, the cylinder can be moved without the hammer being half-cocked, uses a transfer bar instead of a firing pin, and the cylinder can rotate in either direction. However, it shares similarities with the Colt, such as the three pins on the frame, where the Vaquero only has two. The base gun appears to have a 5" barrel, but can be modified with a 7.5" barrel that increases the damage by +3, as well as an engraved "heavy duty" cylinder which increases its maximum condition by +50%. It weighs 2 pounds, which is appropriate for its initial barrel length, but is not affected by the barrel length upgrade. A Single Action Army also appears on the boxart and title screen, with slight differences due to these images being illustrations instead of using the game's 3D model.

The .357 Magnum Revolver is a very common lower tier gun, used by everyone from Powder Gangers to NCR Patrol Rangers and is one of the first revolvers and magnum caliber guns the player will get. Decent damage and accuracy tempered by middling returns on power and a slow reload as you'd expect from a gate loader.

A unique version called "Lucky" can be found in a safe in the Bison Steve casino in Primm, with a club symbol on ivory grips and an engraved black-and-gold finish. "Lucky" is the fastest-firing revolver in the game. It serves as a high-level eater of .357 Magnum ammo, with its fast ROF and increased damage muted only by its 6-round capacity.

[[File:FNV True Police Stories.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A loading screen prominently features several of the game's skill magazines, a copy of "True Police Stories" (which boosts the Courier's crit chance by 5%) front and center. This magazine's cover, which seems to feature some sort of SAA-type revolver, is actually derived from a cover for the 1945 movie ''Dick Tracy, Detective''.]]

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', renamed the ".44 Magnum Revolver" as it no longer has a scope by default. The .44 is a relatively common find at higher levels, carried by some Legionaries, Gomorrah lieutenant Cachino, some Fiends, and Old Ben in Freeside. Raul Tejada ([[Danny Trejo]]), former ''vaquero'' and vagrant handyman, carries one as his signature weapon. The .44 Magnum is as powerful as it was in ''Fallout 3'' and can be used more freely now that it lacks the scope. The scope is still available as a modification, plus a "heavy frame" that gives the gun a matte finish and bright S&W rosewood grips. It weighs 3.5 pounds, rounded down from its real counterpart. Incorrectly, the Model 29 uses the Pip-Boy icon for the [[Smith & Wesson Model 2 Double Action]] from ''Fallout 3'', which does not appear in ''New Vegas''.

The unique version of the Model 29 is known as the "Mysterious Magnum" and features a nickel-plated finish with engravings, a mother of pearl grip, and a mysterious tune that plays whenever the pistol is drawn or holstered. The Mysterious Magnum is carried by the Lonesome Drifter, who can be found by a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard near the El Dorado Dry Lake, and can be acquired from him during the quest "Talent Pool". The Mysterious Magnum has a faster fire rate, better accuracy, increased critical hit damage but a lower durability stat, but is still a very powerful and frankly stylish high level sidearm. A version of the Mysterious Magnum with extremely buffed damage is also used by the Mysterious Stranger. The Mysterious Magnum appears to have a blocked barrel (due to the bore on the default .44 Magnum being a texture) which can be seen when reloading it.

=="12.7mm Pistol"==
The "12.7mm Pistol" is a fictitious pistol chambered for the also fictitious 12.7mm round (the in-universe equivalent to .50 AE or .50 Beowulf). It is based on the "SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'', though the magazine is inserted into the grip instead of being housed in front of the trigger like the original 14mm. Like the original design, it is roughly a 50% ultra-chunky [[Hämmerli 280]] (now minus the separate magwell) and 50% the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|"LAPD 2019 Blaster"]] from the movie ''[[Blade Runner]]'', though a standalone gun even closer to the ''Blade Runner'' weapon exists too. Its only modification is a suppressor. The pistol's grip also has a loose similarity to that of the Finnish [[Jatimatic]] submachine gun. The 12.7mm Pistol is as rare as its ammo, found in Bloodborne Cave and carried by NCR troops at Hoover Dam as well as NCR Ranger Presidential Guards. While it needs a high Strength and Guns skill to properly use, the 12.7mm's power is one to be reckoned with, piercing flesh and armor alike with ease and making it a solid choice for a high-level sidearm when armor's a problem.

A unique variant was added with the ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC, named "Lil' Devil". This unique compact variant has a shorter barrel and synthetic black grips, as well as a dark matte finish. Lil' Devil, besides being an adorable name for a sidearm, is better than the standard 12.7mm in almost every way, from damage to the fact it can be snuck into Strip casinos. The only disadvantage is that it can't be fitted with a silencer.

=="10mm Pistol"==
The "10mm Pistol" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. As in that game, it is loosely based on a [[Desert Eagle|Magnum Research Desert Eagle]]. The 10mm is a very common weapon, sold and carried by many merchants, Vault 19 Powder Gangers, and many members of the Kings. Unlike the Browning and two Colt pistols, it seems to operate entirely in double-action. It can be modified with a laser sight, suppressor, and extended magazine. The 10mm is a reliable sidearm for the mid point of the game, with higher damage and DPS than the standard 9mm offerings alongside decent mods to keep it in the power band long enough to be useful.

The pre-order bonus "Classic Pack", also included in the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, adds the "Weathered 10mm Pistol"; aside from the different skin, it features slightly higher damage and durability at the cost of not being a holdout weapon.

==LAPD 2019 'Blaster'==
The [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]] from ''[[Blade Runner]]'' makes a return to the ''Fallout'' series. Called "That Gun" in-game, in reference to "That Gun from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]''", the .223 Pistol. Like its predecessor, it chambers 5.56x45mm NATO and can also chamber .223, which wears out the gun slower at the cost of less damage. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a non-unique variant of this weapon, called the "5.56mm Pistol". "That Gun" can be purchased from Cliff Briscoe in Novac or stolen from the back room. The 5.56mm Pistol is more than just old ''Fallout'' nostalgia, but a potent side-grade pistol for mid to high level players. Sure it's not fast firing, but 5.56 AP is very common and very effective for pesky Legionnaires.

The handgun is useable to complete two movie-related challenges (tasks the player can complete to earn XP). "Benefit or a Hazard" refers to the film the gun originated in, ''Blade Runner'', and requires the Courier (fittingly) to kill robots with the pistol, while "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'" (a reference to Clint Eastwood's line to a bounty hunter in ''[[The Outlaw Josey Wales]]'') requires the Courier kill members of enemy faction hit squads with "Cowboy" themed weapons (which includes all revolvers and lever-action weapons, including the decidedly un-Western 5.56mm).

[[Image:FalloutNV223pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier aims his 5.56mm Pistol at the suite's wallpaper.]]

==Ruger 22/45==
The [[Ruger 22/45]] appears as the "Silenced .22 Pistol". It has an integral sliencer and will not alert enemies (who have not been shot) of the player's presence. It will not dismember on hit and does less damage to limbs. It is also one of the two guns players can always sneak into casinos regardless of their sneak skill, the other being the Police Pistol. The .22 Pistol is very common, being found in Camp McCarran, the Vikki and Vance Casino, as well as being sold by Mr. Holdout on the Strip; one will always be used to kill the White Glove Society member Chauncey during "Beyond the Beef," even if something would physically prevent the bullets from reaching him (such as a party member).

[[Image:FalloutNV22pistol-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier aims his Ruger 22/45 at an old wall.]]

==Colt New Service*==
The [[Colt New Service]] appears in the first ''New Vegas'' DLC, ''Dead Money'', as the "Police Pistol", and like some versions of the New Service, this revolver in-game chambers .357 Magnum. When fired, the Courier will cock the hammer after every shot, but firing the first round after drawing the weapon will be done so in double-action. The inclusion of this revolver is a reference to ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', which was a major influence for the DLC alongside the Japanese suspense film ''[[Battle Royale]]''.

The weapon is extremely useful in ''Dead Money'' due to its very high critical hit ratio, mostly for killing unconscious Ghosts, the zombie-like residents of the Sierra Madre. The New Service can be found in surprising numbers around the Sierra Madre in various containers, as well as in Dean Domino's Secret Stashes. It weighs 3 pounds, which is significantly higher than its real weight of 2.3.

This is because the New Service's model reuses parts from the S&W M29 such as its cylinder and frame.]]

[[File:Fnvnewservice-9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier shows off his Police Pistol while decked out in Sierra Madre Security armour.]]

==Magnum Research BFR==
The [[Magnum Research BFR]] appears as the "Hunting Revolver", chambered in .45-70 Govt'. Unlike the real BFR, which is a single-action only revolver that feeds from a loading gate, the Hunting Revolver is a double-action revolver that feeds through a swing-out cylinder. It always has an unremovable scope. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant which can accept modifications; this includes a 6-shot cylinder and a match barrel, decreasing weapon spread. The Hunting Revolver can be found in a variety of places; carried by the mercenary Orris in Freeside, at the campfire in Bloodborne Cave, and tucked away in the REPCONN Test Site. The Hunting Revolver is a solid way to tap into your early .45-70 reserves, with high raw damage and a scope to let you select and delete heads with ease.

The Ranger Sequoia is a unique scopeless version given to NCR Rangers, with a black finish, gold engraving, the NCR bear and Ranger symbol on the wood grip, a brass plate reading "20 Years" on the underside, and "For Honorable Service" and "Against All Tyrants" engraved on the different sides of the barrel. The Ranger Sequoia is much rarer, found on some NCR Veteran Rangers as well as their commander, Chief Hanlon ([[Kris Kristofferson]]); his can be acquired during the quest "Return to Sender," depending on its resolution. The Ranger Sequoia is one of the game's most powerful weapons, with a higher damage, rate of fire and even crit chance than the normal Hunting Revolver and with no scope to stop you from whipping this thing out.

==Colt M1911A1*==
The ''Honest Hearts'' DLC introduces the [[M1911A1]] as the ".45 Auto Pistol". Joshua Graham ([[Keith Szarabajka]]) describes the gun as "designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago", referring to fellow LDS follower John Moses Browning. The Dead Horses, and most tribes in Zion, make extensive use of it. After beating the main questline of Honest Hearts, .45 Auto ammunition, and the weapons which fire it, are carried by the Gun Runners outside New Vegas; the weapons themselves are never used by NPCs outside the Park, however. The .45 Auto Pistol can take two upgrades: the "HD Slide" improves the weapon's durability, while the suppressor eliminates the gun's report. After these upgrades, the pistol resembles a [[Colt XSE]]. At one point, the in-game iron sights were going to be an upgrade, with the gun having default, more traditional M1911 sights; this ended up being cut, and the upgraded 3-dot sights are permanent on the default weapon in the final game. The M1911 used by Follows-Chalk still has the original iron sights, but it is normally unobtainable. The M1911A1 correctly holds 7 rounds.

The M1911A1 is a powerful weapon, with damage in the semi-auto pistol department only beaten out by the 12.7mm Pistol and (illogically) vastly outperforming the 10mm Pistol; according to director Joshua Sawyer, the reason for this was to make it an intermediate pistol caliber between 10mm and 12.7mm, and to fit player expectations of "''[[Last Man Standing]]''-style .45s that throw guys 20' through the air". It is the most powerful holdout weapon compatible with a suppressor, but ammo is hard to come by outside of Zion, as .45 ACP can only be obtained by purchasing it from certain merchants or reloading spent .45 casings. It weighs 1.5 pounds, quite light for a 1911 variant (for reference, an original M1911 weighs about 2.3). Follows-Chalk mentions that Joshua tells him the M1911A1's cartridge “Won the West”; this seems to be a misplaced reference to the .45 Long Colt, since both it and the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) could be referred to simply as ".45 Colt".

==Colt New Agent*==
Joshua Graham from the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC carries a unique .45 Auto pistol, a [[M1911|Colt New Agent]] with a snakeskin-pattern grip and Greek script engraved into the slide. The script ("καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει" on the right side and "και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν" on the left side) is a quote from the Bible (John 1:5) ''"And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"'', from which the weapon's name, "A Light Shining in Darkness", is derived. In keeping with this name, the slide glows in the dark, making it easier to use in poorly lit caves and ruins. It holds 6 rounds of .45 Auto in its magazine.

Despite the decreased ammo capacity, A Light Shining in Darkness is in every other way superior to the base .45 Auto, having higher damage, reduced weight, a faster rate of fire, and increased crit chance and damage. Really the only negative is its guttersnipe sights and lack of a suppressor, but that didn't stop Joshua from using it.

==Brescia Model 00*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds an Italian WWII-era Brescia Model 00 (with features of the WWI-era Lanciarazzi Very), appearing simply as the "Flare Gun". Many Marked Men have it (and, in some cases, are scripted to fire it into the air, presumably signaling for help), and some emergency kits do as well. Bizarrely, while the animations suggest that the weapon fires ordinary flares, it actually consumes 10 units of flamethrower fuel per shot; as a consequence, it is oddly classed as an energy weapon in-game. Even more bizarrely, the Flare Gun is also an improved holdout weapon, perfect for dealing with the ever present danger of Deathclaw attacks on the Strip.

As an in-game weapon, it cannot be used for any sort of signaling, but can be used to do damage to (and ignite) enemies from a distance - provided, that is, that the player can compensate for the arc-type trajectory of the flares. However, its main advantage is its ability to frighten away abominations - even the mighty Deathclaw is terrified by flares.

==Ruger GP100==
While not usable in-game, a [[Ruger GP100]] appears on the cover of the "Guns and Bullets" skill book, which permanently raises the user's Guns skill by 3 points.

==Shansi Type 17==
Similarly, while the [[Shansi Type 17]] can't be used in-game, it still makes an appearance, being one of the unusable weapons in Mick's weapon stash in the back of Mick & Ralph's. It is exactly the same model as the one used in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.

=Submachine Guns=
=="10mm Submachine Gun"==
The "10mm Submachine Gun" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', and is again essentially a [[Browning M2HB]] receiver reversed and put into a package similar to the defunct [[Heckler & Koch SMG]] prototype, along with a pistol grip and trigger guard reminiscent of the [[Thompson]] line of submachine guns. It can be found on many mid-level humanoid mobs such as Jackal gang members and members of the Kings. It can also be found as level-adjusted loot in gun lockers once the player reaches a high enough level.

Although the in-game description for the 10mm SMG lists a high DPS, it shares the common weakness of most shotguns and automatic weapons in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' in that much of its theoretical power is negated by the Damage Threshold system. In addition to losing much of its damage, the high spread of this weapon requires the player to be at close ranges for all of the rounds fired to impact on the target. Despite this, if the player does manage to get into close range via stealth or ambushing it can be a powerful weapon against unarmored enemies.

It can be modified with a 40-round magazine and a recoil compensator.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as "Sleepytyme", which has an integral suppressor attached, greater damage, and a higher rate of fire. It is also an improved holdout weapon that can be carried into casinos (if the player's sneak skill is high enough) and is the only automatic holdout weapon available.

[[File:FalloutNewVegas10mm_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The in-game model for the 10mm SMG. Note the two selector switches pointing opposite directions above the pistol grip, a setup presumably based on the aforementioned Thompson; assuming that these markings are HK-style pictograms, the rear one (which would be rather awkward to operate) has one "safe" position and two "fire" ones (with the top one selected), while the front seemingly has 3-round burst, 4-round burst (selected), and a six-notch setting that presumably represents full-auto. While it could be argued that the rear selector offers safe, semi-auto, and a position that can be either burst or full-auto depending on the front switch's setting (akin to the dual-switch setup on the [[FAMAS F1]]), this idea is somewhat undermined by the two "fire" markings being completely identical.]]
[[File:10mm SMG with extended mag and recoil comp.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The 10mm SMG fitted with an extended magazine and a recoil compensator. It's not entirely clear how the latter attachment is actually attached, given that the weapon's muzzle (shown above, and seemingly based on the M2's buffer tube given its placement) is a smooth, tapered tube with no threads or notches; given its placement, it appears to be just ''barely'' attached at all, overlapping almost none of the barrel.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier holds his 10mm SMG.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then reloads it, wondering why it has what seems to be an unusable underfolding stock (which could never be unfolded with the magazine in place). After swapping mags, the Courier then "pulls" the weapon's charging handle; the handle doesn't actually move, presumably because it's placed all the way at the end of its slot - since the receiver was modeled off of a Browning M2 with the bolt forward, its reversal puts the bolt all the way back, with no space for it to be pulled further.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the weapon in third-person. The right side is more or less exactly the same as the left.]]

[[File:FalloutNVSleepytyme.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Out on the streets, the Courier holds "Sleepytyme".]]

==M3 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3 Grease Gun]] chambered for 9mm rounds appears as the "9mm Submachine Gun". It has a heavily shortened barrel and is scaled down so it can be held one-handed. It can be modified with drum magazines that increase ammo capacity by 30 rounds and a "light bolt" that increases the rate of fire. The 9mm SMG is fairly common, with the player being able to acquire one right at the start of the game with a high enough Repair skill. Its standard 30-round magazine and easy-to-find 9mm ammo make it one of the better starter weapons, but it loses its effectiveness once armor gets involved due to low damage and the thin 30 rounder mags.

The unique variant, "Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun", can be acquired by completing an unmarked quest to track it down after it was stolen from a casino dedicated to fictitious criminals Vikki & Vance, the latter of which owned the gun. Vikki & Vance are stated to have been contemporaries of Bonnie & Clyde, making their use of an M3 anachronistic by about ten years. Vance's 9mm SMG comes with a pristine black finish, wood or bakelite grips, no stock, and express-type sights. While like a majority of unique variants it cannot be modified, it comes with 60-round magazines and a rate of fire inbetween the default 9mm SMG and it with the light bolt modification, in addition to the usual unique variant upgrades. Increased damage, hit probability and the weird in-between rate of fire so you can spray wildly and actually hit what you're aiming at, a perfect way to spend your 9mm stocks late game.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "H&H Tools Nail Gun" as a weapon. The Nail Gun bears a striking resemblance to the M3, featuring a very similar profile and layout, even having the M3's crank lever and replacing the M3's ejection port with a safety switch. Should you find enough nails in either The Divide or the Mojave, keep them for this. Sure it's not as powerful as either of its original versions, but the double damage to limbs makes this an entertaining way to stop an annoying enemy from shooting you.

==American-180==
The [[American-180]] appears in-game as the "Silenced .22 SMG". It lacks a stock and is integrally suppressed. In-game, it uses 180-round magazines which can be replaced with a larger pan magazine that holds 240 rounds, both of which are not available for the gun's real life counterpart. The American 180 can be found on Gomorrah Bank Guards and Fiend raiders in Vault 3. In-game, the gun is incorrectly depicted as closed-bolt with a reciprocating charging handle.

Rare, yes as is having even close to enough ammo to even commit to a reload, but the gun is a raucous little riot in the right set of extremely specific circumstances. Full auto .22 HP on low armored enemies makes this a strange but incredibly entertaining bee dispenser.

==Thompson Submachine Guns==
Two variants of the Thompson SMG series appear in game, one as an energy weapon, the other as a conventional slug-thrower.

===M1928 Thompson===
An [[M1928 Thompson]]-inspired energy weapon appears as the "Laser RCW" (Rapid Capacitor Weapon, according to the game's director Josh Sawyer). It holds 60 Electron Charge Packs in a drum and can be modified with a Recycler attachment, which replenishes 1 shot per 4 fired. In addition, on the rear portion of the receiver, it has a rail-top carry handle based on the H&K [[G36C]]'s.

The RCW is a fairly common energy weapon, used by Fiends, Brotherhood of Steel scribes, and members of the Bright Brotherhood found scattered across the waste or at REPCONN. Using the somewhat uncommon ECP packs and allowing for a recycler to maximize its charge, the RCW is a proto-Gatling Laser and a good high ROF weapon for an early to mid game Energy Weapons build that lets you ditch a Recharger Rifle and have something to panic spray middling damage at.

Though not usable, normal M1928s appear on the cover for the "Milsurp Review" skill magazine, which temporarily raises the player's Guns skill by 10.

===M1A1 Thompson*===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the ".45 Auto Submachine Gun", introduced in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It can be modified with a Cutts compensator to reduce spread, as well as M1921/M1928 50-round drum magazines which somehow work with the M1A1's magazine well. The weapon is used heavily by the White Legs tribe, who call them "storm drums," and is stocked by a variety of traders in the Mojave following the completion of the DLC's campaign.

The .45 Auto SMG is a powerful SMG on par with the 12.7mm SMG, with a high rate of fire combined with powerful rounds, but tempered by poor accuracy, a heavy weight (11 pounds, about the weight of a fully loaded M1A1) and the rarity of it's ammo at first. With a decent stash of .45 and the Grunt perk, you have a solid contender for an end-game SMG.

=="12.7mm Submachine Gun"==
The heavy-hitter of the submachine gun category, the "12.7mm submachine gun", while largely fictional, has some distinct features from some real-world weapons, using a top-mounted 21-round magazine that lies flat along the top of the weapon, rather like that of an [[FN P90]] (interestingly, the rear sight is mounted to this magazine, rather like the [[Calico]] series), and what appears to be a [[TDI Vector]]-style offset recoil system (which, given the caliber, would probably be necessary). It can be found on the Legion's Veteran Decanii, and other high-ranking officials, as well as some of their assassins and vexillarius at higher levels, high-level White Legs in ''Honest Hearts'', and both high-level marked men and Ulysses in ''Lonesome Road''; one can also be found in Bloodborne Cave, and can be bought from some weapon merchants and the Great Khans at higher levels, as well as the Vendortron, and occasionally Knight Torres.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a version that can be customized further than the one in the base game - while the standard version can accept a suppressor (which, like the [[PGM Hecate II]]'s suppressor, reduces enemies' ability to hear the weapon, rather than eliminating it), the ''GRA'' version can also be fitted with a laser sight (which increases accuracy), and a "Stacked Magazine" (which raises the capacity from 21 rounds to 27). The 12.7mm SMG is the best submachine gun in the game, due to the extremely powerful 12.7mm round. It shreds through light, medium and heavy armor and can take down high-end enemies like Rangers, Deathclaws and Paladins within a few mags. However, the scarcity of the ammo plus the relatively small magazine somewhat limits the 12.7mm SMG's power.

=Rifles=
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]] appears as the "Assault Carbine". It is chambered for the fictional 5mm round (also used by the Minigun) and is the fastest firing rifle in the base game, tied with the LMG. It has a 24-round magazine by default (although the magazine itself is modelled after a 20-round one), but can be upgraded with a 30-round magazine. It, along with the other AR-15 derivatives below, lacks a charging handle on the rear of the carry handle, instead having a knob located directly on the bolt on the right side. The Assault Carbine can be found in many former military installations in the Mojave such as Vault 34 as well as the Nellis Air Force Base. Companion Lily Bowen's personal Assault Carbine is fitted with a suppressor, which is not available as a mod for either of the two playable Assault Carbine variants.

The Assault Carbine is a good armor breaker, allowing an easily aimed usage of 5mm ammo than the Minigun tempered by its still ridiculously fast fire rate. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant of the Assault Carbine with additional modifications; a "forged receiver" which increases the weapon's durability, a "light bolt" which increases rate of fire, and an extended magazine which raises its capacity to 30 rounds.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with a SIR railed foregrip, a Magpul PRS stock, and a low-power ACOG-style scope appears as the "Marksman Carbine". The Marksman Carbine is a somewhat uncommon weapon, with a few being located in Vault 34 and is purchasable from the Vendortron and Knight Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker; it will, however, be frequently used by Legion assassins at high levels. It only holds 20 rounds, even though it is modelled with a 30-round magazine. The Marksman Carbine is a powerful carbine with some of the spicier 5.56 variants like HP or AP, capped mostly by how middling the damage is for 5.56 in-game.

The "All-American", the unique variant of the Marksman Carbine, is found only in the armory at the bottom of the irradiated, ghoul-infested Vault 34 located east of New Vegas. It has a woodland camo finish, a 24-round magazine (which is visually identical to the 20-round magazine on the base carbine), and an 82nd Airborne Division badge on the magazine well (although it tends to glitch and not show properly). The All-American is one of ''New Vegas'''s best scoped weapons, dealing accurate, high-damage shots without eating through rare ammunition. This damage can be further enhanced with the "Hand Loader" perk added with the ''Gun Runner's Arsenal'' DLC, which enables the creation of match 5.56 ammo that increases damage and accuracy with no downside.

==Colt Model 715/Diemaco C7==
A [[Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715]] with [[M16A1]]-styled wood furniture (''Fallout'''s world ran out of oil long ago) appears as the "Service Rifle". The prescence of a round forward assist button and M16A1E1 shell deflector pin it as a C7/Model 715. While rarely seen due to the weapon's high durability and low jam rate even at poor condition, the jam animation involves one of the few instances of the forward assist actually being used in fiction. It can be modified with a "forged receiver" that increases its durability and "upgraded springs" that increase its fire rate. An aperture sight and bayonet are included in the files, but were not implemented. As the name suggests, the Service Rifle is standard issue to the NCR Military and can be found wherever NCR Army troops are or were stationed.

It's a terrifically average rifle that allows a phase-out of the Varmint Rifle as the player's 5.56 caliber rifle, with better stats overall beyond a middling accuracy and lack of a suppressor option, but making up for it with semi automatic firepower. Strangely, the Service Rifle can ''not'' normally be cannibalized for parts to repair the Assault Carbine or Marksman Carbine and vice versa, even though in reality the three would share nearly all parts.

A unique Service Rifle chambered in 12.7mm called the "Survivalist's Rifle" appears in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. Its 12.7mm chambering is a nod to the real world .50 Beowulf conversions for the AR-15 platform. This rifle was the weapon of Randall Clark, a US Army serviceman who fled to Zion Canyon after the Great War. It features a blocky handguard somewhat reminiscent of the M16 LSW/LMG along with a shortened barrel similar to that of the Colt Model 605, but has numerous makeshift repairs along the body work and a damaged front sight. The English and French words "STOP!" and "ARRÊT!" are scrawled onto the stock of the weapon, a marking on the receiver reads "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT CHKPNT CARBINE 12.7MM CAL", and another marking above the trigger reads "LONG BRANCH ARSENAL ONTARIO, USA TERRITORY". The Survivalist's Rifle can be found on top of the Red Gate, in a duffle bag next to the remains of the Survivalist himself. The Survivalist's Rifle lives up to its name - the accuracy of the standard Service Rifle combined with the power of the 12.7mm round are a lethal combination for any target, only capped by the damaged front sight hindering aiming (although in a roundabout way compensates for the game's slightly bugged iron sights system).

==PGM Hecate II==
The [[PGM Hecate II]] appears as the "Anti-Materiel Rifle". It is the first gun seen in the game; one is used during the opening FMV by an NCR Ranger to kill a Fiend countersniper. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant that can be modified with a "carbon fibre body" which decreases weight, a "custom bolt" that increases rate of fire, and a suppressor which doesn't actually suppress gun noise but merely lowers and muffles the gun's extremely loud report to a more comfortable level. The Hecate appears very late in the game, sold by the Gun Runners or Knight Torres of the Brotherhood of Steel and only seen on Veteran Rangers, a few Legion troops and various DLC enemies.

The Hecate is a weapon intended for long-range shooting, easily able to pick through highly armored enemies including deathclaws, but has a slow fire rate, fires rare .50 BMG rounds, and requires a Strength of 8 and a Guns skill of 100 to even shoot properly. Because the Hecate II uses pre-existing animations shared with other bolt-action rifles, the Courier will hold the gun as if it had a rifle grip rather than by the PGM's pistol grip. According to project director Joshua Sawyer, the PGM Hecate II was modeled in the game for the .50 caliber rifle role because he thought [[Barrett]] rifles in other games were too repetitive.

=="Varmint Rifle"==
The "Varmint Rifle" is a fictitious bolt-action rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine. Originally, it was intended to use .22 LR rounds which were fed from a long, curved magazine, but this proved unpopular during play testing and was changed to 5.56mm rounds feeding from a small box magazine; some NPCs using the rifle still carry .22 LR rounds instead of 5.56mm. It can be upgraded with 8-round extended magazines, a night vision scope and a silencer. It is one of the first weapons available, as a free one is received from Sunny Smiles during the "Back in the Saddle" quest. It is a good starter rifle, boasting decent DPS and accuracy, but after armor is introduced, it becomes quickly obsolete. The combination of a scope and silencer remains unique for quite some time however.

The unique variant is called the "Ratslayer", which can be found in Broc Flower Cave. It has a black polymer stock featuring a stylized mole rat skull and 69 tally marks on the rear right. Should you manage to find this cave in the Level 9-12 range, you've picked up a delightful sidegrade rifle with an increased fire rate, damage and scope zoom to the fully modded Varmint Rifle and a very effective way to silently take down enemies at range until you get the suppressed Sniper Rifle.
[[Image:FalloutNewVegasVarmintrifle.jpg|thumb|500px|none|In-game model for the standard Varmint Rifle. Note that though the hole in the stock is inletted similar to a thumbhole, its placement would make using it as one somewhat uncomfortable due to a very thin grip. The grip itself also is at a rather steep angle, though this is likely to line it up better with animations shared with other guns.]]

==M1 Garand==
An [[M1 Garand]] rechambered for .308 rounds was supposed to appear in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' as the "Battle Rifle", but was cut from the final game. The unique variant of the Battle Rifle, however, was not cut and appears in the base game. Named "This Machine" (a reference to Woodie Guthrie's famous guitar sticker, which read "This Machine Kills Fascists"; seemingly as a response, the in-game weapon's stock is marked "Well This Machine Kills Commies"), it can be acquired by completing the unmarked quest "Dealing with Contreras". Both This Machine and the Battle Rifle weigh the correct 9.5 pounds for an M1 Garand. This Machine is a deceiving rifle, seemingly boring with its damage statistics and middling long range accuracy but making up the dividend in repeat fire power. You don't think it's good until 8 shots of .308 AP crit a Centurion.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC added the base Battle Rifle back into the game. The Battle Rifle can only be obtained from traders. The Battle Rifle serves as a semi-automatic .308 rifle to not so much replace the Hunting Rifle but give you more options. Decently accurate bar its high spread at range with a quick reload and decent damage, it's a good mid-game rifle.

==Winchester 1886==
The [[Winchester 1886]] appears as the "Cowboy Repeater". It is chambered for .357 Magnum, and can be upgraded with an extended magazine tube that increases its capacity from 7 rounds to 11, a maple stock to reduce weight, and a "custom action" that engraves the receiver and increases rate of fire. The rifle is scattered in most of the early game areas, including the various former Powder Gangers in Primm and the NCRCF and other factions sporadically in the wasteland. It's a functional and serviceable mid game rifle, with a high rate of fire in comparison to the bolt action Varmint or Hunting Rifles and a relatively effective damage to boot. It doesn't hold up once metal armor shows up, but you wouldn't expect a .357 rifle to punch through plates.

The unique variant is named "La Longue Carabine" (a reference to ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'') fitted with a scope, the extended magazine tube available for the base rifle, an engraved stock, and an octagonal barrel. It also lacks a loading gate, and as such recycles ''[[Fallout 3]]'''s reloading animations for the [[Henry 1860]], opening the muzzle-end of the magazine tube and then inserting rounds in (although there is no follower tab to lead the cartridges in the tube). Likely due to a bug, the action on this specific repeater remains still during cycling animations with it only moving in its reload animation where it clips through the static hammer, which is also static. It is found on Corporal Sterling of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp McCarran. Take all of the normal rifle's benefits and make it have a decent scope and reload faster. You have a gun made to bully Fiends in their dorky raider armor.

==Marlin Model 336==
The [[Marlin Model 336]] appears as the "Trail Carbine", and fires .44 Magnum. It was likely at some point meant to chamber .30-30 WCF but the cartridge was cut from the game due to having too much overlap with the gameplay role .308 Win chambered weapons play in-game, this is evident by the thinner loading gate on the side of the rifle. The Trail Carbine can be found in places such as Bonnie Springs or Red Rock Canyon and it can be modified with a scope. The Trail Carbine is mostly a straight upgrade over the Cowboy Repeater, with more damage and critical hit power and the ability to mount a scope as a mod. Don't knock it till you try it.

=="Hunting Rifle"==
The [[Winchester Model 70]]-inspired "Hunting Rifle" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. Like its counterpart in ''Fallout 3'', it is a bolt-action rifle feeding from a five-round detachable magazine, but now has proper iron sights and chambers .308 Winchester. It can be modified with 10-round magazines, a "custom action" that cleans the bolt and reciever, as well as increasing rate of fire, and a 3.5x scope for long-range shooting. The rifle is fairly common in the hands of some NCR soldiers, Fiends, Legionaries, and other Wastelanders; a Fiend during the opening cutscene makes the incredibly poor choice of using one in an attempt to counter-snipe an NCR Ranger, which ends rather predictably. Companion Craig Boone uses a scoped version, the only companion weapon to have a modification installed (excluding Lily Bowen's Assault Carbine, though the suppressor on that rifle is unobtainable by the player). The Hunting Rifle is one of the perfect mid to high level rifles, accurate, reliable on damage and moddable to let it carry you all the way towards the AMR or Sniper Rifle.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "Paciencia" (Spanish for Patience) unique variant, which can be bought from Cliff Briscoe in Novac. It is cleaner than the regular rifle and lacks the makeshift repairs done to that version, as well as having a Mexican flag wrapped around the stock and a gold bead sight. Panciencia deals extra critical damage and has high reliability, but only has a three-round magazine (identical to the regular rifle's 5-round magazine). It also boasts a 3.5x zoom, despite only having iron sights. According to lead designer Josh Sawyer, this rifle was called "Paciencia" because its user "better make them (the three shots per magazine) count".

==Marlin Model 1895==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] appears as the "Brush Gun", firing .45-70 Gov't rounds out of a six-round tube magazine. Although it is said by Josh Sawyer, the game's lead designer, that it "is not based on one gun specifically, but guns like the [[Winchester Model 1886]] and Marlin Guide Gun", the Winchester influence only comes with the "forged receiver", the Brush Gun's only modification, which gives it the receiver of a Model 1886, as well as increasing the weapon's durability. It is a rare weapon, primarily used by NCR Veteran Rangers and Legion assassins. The Brush Gun is one of the best rifles in the game, with high power and decent accuracy with a plethora of flavors of custom ammo to sink the skill points you need to make this thing effectively into. Do not doubt how utterly busted the HP .45-70 is out of this thing.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as the "Medicine Stick" (presumably a reference to Theodore Roosevelt's [[Winchester Model 1895]] in .405 Winchester, which he called his "Big Medicine"). It features a much less intrusive ghost ring sight, a stainless steel or nickel finish on the reciever, and what appears to be a medicine wheel on its stock. The Medicine Stick is better in every way than the Brush Gun, albeit not as overwhelmingly as the other GRA weapons. That being said it's still a high powered and accurate boomstick with more accuracy and an easier to read sight picture.

=="Gauss Rifle"==
The "Gauss Rifle" returns from ''Fallout 3'''s ''Operation: Anchorage'' DLC, now sporting a buttplate on the stock. While fictional, the Gauss Rifle is rather clearly inspired by the [[Lahti L-39]] anti-tank rifle, particularly in the receiver area; it even retains the L-39's crank-type cocking handle (which is only used when the rifle "jams" by rotating it back into place). The weapon uses microfusion cells, of which it holds 5, and consumes 5 per shot, essentially making it a single-shot rifle. Bizarrely, while the weapon still does behave as a coilgun logically should, propelling ferromagnetic projectiles with electromagnetism, these projectiles (presumably contained in the weapon's side-mounted box magazine) are never replenished, and never run out. It is found on BoS Paladins, Y-17 Trauma Override Harnesses in ''Old World Blues'', and Father Elijah in ''Dead Money'', and can be bought from Knight Torres (provided the appropriate quests have been completed) and the Silver Rush. The Gauss Rifle is the sniper rifle option for characters using energy weapons, with very high damage outclassing even the Hecate II that will cause hilarious overkill on anything short of Deathclaws, though this damage can only be dealt slowly.

The unique variant of the Gauss Rifle, the "YCS/186" (a reference to Your Console Sucks, a Something Awful forum with the ID of 186) is found on a mercenary in a camp east of Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch (unless the trait Wild Wasteland is selected, where it is replaced with aliens and unavailable in normal gameplay). The YCS/186 uses only 4 MFCs per shot, does more damage, and is slightly more accurate than the Gauss Rifle, but is one pound heavier. Make of that what you will, but you'll have to sacrifice getting the Alien Blaster to get this.

==Heckler & Koch G3==
An early-pattern [[G3]] (or, more precisely, the R91 Assault Rifle from ''[[Fallout 3]]''), while not a playable weapon in-game, appears on the "Commando" perk icon, as well as the "Aggressive" Companion wheel setting.

Additionally, the "Infiltrator" (a variant of the G3 with a longer magazine, no stock, a black synthetic forearm, and a suppressor) from the ''Fallout 3'' DLC ''The Pitt'' is visible in Mick's special weapon stash, but is also unusable.

=="Chinese Assault Rifle"==
A poster for Freddy Fear's House of Scares (seen in ''[[Fallout 3]]'') can be found in the El Rey Motel, and another can be found in a collapsed office building in the "Lonesome Road" DLC. This poster depicts several children dressed in the company's costumes, one of whom wields a rifle; while highly indistinct, given how the rifle appears to have an AK-style magazine and an [[RPD]]-like handguard, and that this costume is meant to be a Chinese soldier, it is reasonable to assume that it is supposed to represent the "Chinese Assault Rifle" from ''Fallout 3''.

The rifle itself also appears in the game in a non-usable form. During the quest "How Little We Know" the Courier may be tasked with destroying a weapons stockpile using thermite; amid the rubble is the front sight and muzzle of a Chinese Assault Rifle. The rifle's magazines also appear as the pickup model for 5.56mm rounds.

=="Sniper Rifle"==
The fictitious "Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout 3]]'' (based on the also fictitious "DKS-501 Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'') returns. It is a semi-automatic rifle with a 3.5x scope and a five-round detachale magazine holding .308 rounds. It is rather rare, only being purchasable from a handful of merchants, or found in some rather out-of-the-way locations. It has two available modifications - a suppressor to reduce the weapon's report, and "carbon fiber parts", which impressively lower its weight from 8 pounds to 3. As the name implies, the Sniper Rifle is one of the best long-range weapons in the game, suffering only from a slow fire rate and low durability.

There is one unique variant of the Sniper Rifle in the base game, the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle, which is found in a locked gun case in the Sniper's Nest near Cottonwood Cove. It has an extended magazine, a more solid thumbhole stock (rather than the odd partially-completed skeletal thumbhole stock of the standard variant), a slightly shortened barrel (in spite of the noticeably better accuracy), and a desert camouflage paint scheme. According to the game's lore, it was originally issued to the U.S. Armed Forces in the Gobi Desert campaign in China prior to the 2077 nuclear war (although how it then managed to wind up in a sniper's nest in the Mojave isn't particularly clear). Gameplay-wise, it has a lower weight (4.5 pounds), an extended magazine holding 6 rounds, slightly higher damage, a lower AP cost in VATS, a higher fire rate, better durability, better critical damage, and better accurate, with the only downside being the inability to accept mods.

The ''Old World Blues'' DLC added a second unique variant, "Christine's CoS Silencer Rifle". It is found in a decrepit building to the north of Little Yangtze. It has the highest damage of the 3 variants (not to mention the highest damage of any suppressed weapon, and the highest non-crit damage of anything chambering .308), a weight of 5.5 pounds, slightly better durability (though not as good as that of the Gobi rifle), and a critical chance multiplier of 2.5 (compared to the 2 of the other variants), at the cost of a higher AP cost in VATS, and the inability to accept mods (although it already has a suppressor and is only 2.5 pounds heavier than the Sniper Rifle with carbon fiber parts). The weapon was originally owned by Christine Royce of the Circle of Steel (hence the name), a sub-group within the Brotherhood of Steel, and was later left behind while she hunted for Elijah.

[[File:FNV Sniper Rifle Modded.jpg|thumb|none|500px|A Sniper Rifle fitted with both of its modifications. The parts replaced with carbon fiber seem to be the stock, much of the upper receiver, and the barrel shroud, which could explain the impressive weight reduction.]]

==M1903 Springfield==
While it is quite hard to spot, the model of the BB Gun's loader has a logo that features an [[M1903 Springfield]]. The weapon does not make any sort of physical appearance in-game.
[[File:M1903Mark1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mark 1 M1903 Springfield - .30-06]]

=Machine Guns=
=="Light Machine Gun"==
The "Light Machine Gun" consists of the receiver and stock of an [[M249]], and the handguard and barrel assembly from an [[M60]]. It also has some other non-standard features including a shortened stock (presumably to prevent clipping into character models when shouldered), a wooden carry handle, pistol grip and handguard, a differently designed front sight post, and a detachable 90-round magazine as opposed to a belt box. The last can be modified with the "expanded drums" upgrade to hold 200 rounds. The weapon's sights are a somewhat bizarre reversed notch setup. It can be found on a few high-level enemies, in the back of the Deathclaw-infested Quarry Junction, or purchased at a high enough level. Unlike the real M249, the LMG appears to fire from a closed bolt and its charging handle reciprocates when fired. The Light Machine Gun is a powerful weapon for players with a large supply of 5.56mm rounds, giving them a large magazine and a controllable rate of fire to allow them to fulfill their fantasies of being post-apocalyptic [[Rambo]].

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the fictitious, seemingly [[Barrett M82A1]]-inspired "Bozar", which previously appeared in ''Fallout 2'', though it lacks that version's bizarre 15-round burst. While ostensibly the unique variant of the Light Machine Gun, in practice the Bozar has nothing to do with the LMG outside of reusing its animations and being compatible with repairing the former when its condition has deteriorated enough, having a completely different design. The Bozar essentially acts as a fully-automatic long-range rifle, with a 2.43x scope and 30-round magazines. How viable that exactly ''is'' will be up to you.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle*==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] was added in ''Dead Money'', the first DLC for ''New Vegas'', as the "Automatic Rifle". It has a pistol grip and stock that resemble those on the Colt Monitor and European copies. This weapon is chambered in .308 ammunition and as such is the only fully automatic weapon in the game that utilizes this ammo. It can be modified with "upgraded internals" that increase its rate of fire by 10%. Interestingly, the menu icon for the BAR shows the bipod unfolded, whereas it is folded and unusable in the game itself. It is hidden in a number of locations around the Sierra Madre.

Rather bizarrely, it is the least accurate automatic weapon in the game, even worse than the SMGs. This problem is compounded by its small capacity magazines, low fire rate (even when upgraded), high weight at 16lbs (even beating out the LMG which is a pound lighter), and poor durability. It is however one of the few full auto .308 weapons, allowing you to combo silly ammo with it's high damage. ''The'' highest of NV's automatic weapons, including all of the more zanier options available.

Also of note is the smaller magazine due to the rifle's in-game chambering of .308 Winchester and not the longer .30-06.]]

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870 Wingmaster==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 Wingmaster]] (with the magazine tube cap of a Winchester) appears as the "Hunting Shotgun". Sprinkled in random Vegas caves, used by mid tier NPC's like Great Khans, Viper Leaders, NCR Heavy troopers and in certain corners of farmhouses, it has both a choke and extended mag tube as mods. It's also ruthlessly effective, being not only incredibly powerful but accurate. In comparison to the Riot Shotgun, the Hunting Shotgun's accuracy focus makes it a more utilitarian scattergun for all encounters.

The unique version, "Dinner Bell", has synthetic camo furniture and is the most accurate shotgun in the game. Dinner Bell is a reward for the quest "Bleed Me Dry", given by Red Lucy, who runs The Thorn. The most accurate shotgun tip is not a joke, the Dinner Bell is a VERY accurate shotgun that makes very effective use of almost any custom ammo you can stuff in it. Slugs, Coin Shot, Magnum shells, you name it and this gun will pattern that blast directly into whatever you need dead.

==Over-and-Under Shotgun==
A 20 gauge over/under double-barrel shotgun called the "Caravan Shotgun" appears in game. Visually, it bears resemblance to a Winchester Model 101 and Otto Seelig brand Over/Unders. The "Caravan Shotgun" is commonly found on, fittingly, Crimson Caravan guards, alongside any other caravan affiliates like the Gun Runner's guards, Caleb McAfferty and potential companion Cass. The Caravan Shotgun is a decent weapon, being an almost direct upgrade over the Single Shotgun with moderately less accuracy at a cost of still being capped by the 20 gauge chambering.

Players who pre-ordered the 'Caravan Pack' version of ''New Vegas'' (or purchased the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC) acquired a "Sturdy Caravan Shotgun" at the start of the game. There is little difference visually aside from colors; gameplay-wise it has increased damage and durability at the cost of accuracy.

[[File:Fnvcaravan-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The model for the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun.]]

=="Riot Shotgun"==
The "Riot Shotgun" is a fictitious semi-automatic shotgun (bearing some very loose similarites to the [[Hawk shotgun series#Hawk Semi-Auto|Hawk Semi-Auto]]) chambered for 12 gauge rounds fed from a 12-round drum magazine. It is a rare find in the Mojave, usually being found on specific troops at Hoover Dam, or on Gomorrah Bank Guards. It may also be wielded by enemies during the ''Honest Hearts'' and ''Lonesome Road'' DLCs if the player's level is high enough.

The Riot Shotgun is far and away the fastest-firing shotguns in the game allowing you to send shells as fast as you think you need to. It's also one of the heaviest in the game, with a middling spread and damage alongside eating up a lot of 12 gauge ammo if you're not careful. That being said, the Riot Shotgun is a great candidate to pair with the "And Stay Back" perk which grants each fired pellet a chance to knock down targets.

==Winchester 1887==
A sawn-off [[Winchester Model 1887]] appears as the "Lever-action Shotgun". Unlike the real weapon, it is chambered for 20 gauge shells. It is not the most common weapon in the game, being found on a few vendors, carried by guards of the Followers of the Apocalypse or Crimson Caravan guards and sold by many vendors.

It is generally the best 20 gauge shotgun, being given a proper magazine and a fast rate of fire to capitalize on sending as much 20 gauge as fast as possible. That being said the middling returns on damage you get with 20 gauge and the overall bad ability for 20 gauge to kill anything you're aiming at once armor is involved makes this less ideal long-term. That and a sluggish reload. It is affected by both the Cowboy and Shotgun Surgeon perks, so you can make an interesting combo with that.

==New England Pardner==
The [[New England Firearms Pardner]] appears in the game as the "Single Shotgun". The Single Shotgun is used by members of the Powder Gangers and lower level enemies. One such shotgun can be found in one of the houses in Goodsprings. The Single Shotgun is a good starter shotgun, with very good accuracy and the highest per-shot damage of any 20 gauge shotgun in the game at a cost of its lack of real damage to anything wearing armor, and it being outclassed by any other shotgun in almost every other respect.

Occasionally, the Courier will encounter Single Shotguns rigged up as tripwire-based traps, commonly set at doorways, replacing the fictional "Combat Shotgun" from ''Fallout 3''. Bizarrely, when a rigged shotgun is disarmed, it will remove the shotgun from the trap (unlike other traps, this can be done even after the trap has been activated - provided, that is, that the player character has a Repair skill of at least 45), and will grant the Courier a 20 gauge shell; it will not, however, give them the shotgun itself, despite removing it from the trap, which begs the question of where it actually goes when this happens. Additionally, if a trap was disarmed after it has been triggered, it will still yield one full shell, instead of an empty hull (which is also an item in the game).

[[File:FNV Rigged Shotgun.jpg|500px|thumb|none|A Single Shotgun set up as a trap. Note the presence of what appears to be an electric motor powered by a microfusion cell (an energy weapon ammo type) set up to spool up a wire to pull the trigger, begging the question why the tripwire activates this motor rather than pulling the trigger itself. The weapon also seems to be held in place with aluminum foil.]]

==Sawn-Off Side-By-Side Shotgun==
The [[Sawn-off double barreled shotgun|sawn-off side-by-side shotgun]] from ''Fallout 3'' returns, again as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun". It has mostly the same model as that game, but has a completely different texture (with an overall cleaner look, different screw placement, and a different pistol grip) and only has one trigger, which somehow fires both barrels at the same time. As it is also held one-handed, this would likely be extremely painful for the user. This does mean it is effectively a single-shot weapon gameplay-wise, but the large amount of pellets fired and its 12 gauge chambering mean that it is the highest-damage shotgun (and the second highest damage of any weapon) in the game. As expected of a sawn-off shotgun the spread is extreme, and it is also the least durable shotgun. Rounding out this odd package, it can be brought into weapon-free areas if the player character has a Sneak skill of 50 or above. The Sawed-off is quite common in the Mojave, being carried by Ralph of Mick and Ralph's, some Fiends, Jessup, Omerta "button men", and bartenders at The Tops and Gomorrah, and being purchasable from Mick of Mick and Ralph's, and the Vendortron. Notably, they can also be obtained from Heck Gunderson during "Beyond the Beef", if the player chooses to tell him where his son is, and from Cachino during "How Little We Know" (along with thirty 12 gauge Magnum shells) if the player chooses to help him deal with Big Sal and Nero.

A unique variant with a darker, more worn look called the "Big Boomer" is carried by Old Lady Gibson, and can only be acquired by either stealing it from or killing her. Compared to the standard Sawed-Off, it is nearly a direct upgrade, with higher damage, a tighter spread, higher rate of fire, and a lower AP cost in VATS, with the only downside being the inability to carry it into weapons-free areas (regardless of the player's Sneak skill).

=Launchers=
==M79 Grenade Launcher==
The [[M79 Grenade Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Rifle". It can be found in several locations and is sold by many different vendors. It can be upgraded with a "long barrel" to increase grenade velocity and range. Because the launcher reuses the 20 gauge Pardner's reload animation, its user will cock a non-existent external hammer. The M79 is baby's first explosive weapon, with middling damage and a fast rate of fire but inferior to later grenade launchers. Don't knock it though, it's got a key fun trick. Knocking over enemies.

The M79 has the distinction of having the highest number of unique variants of any weapon in the game. The first is "Thump-Thump" found in the Nellis Array. It comes with the long barrel modification built-in and has a lighter-colored stock with a drawing of an angry beaver holding a rifle on it. In addition to having the effects of the long barrel modification built-in, Thump-Thump also fires faster, is more durable, and weighs slightly less. All for the low cost of finding it amongst the ants of the Array.

If the player preordered a version of the game that came with the "Mercenary Pack" or bought the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, they acquire the "Mercenary's Grenade Rifle" at the start of the game. It is almost identical to the base Grenade Rifle, only with a slightly darker color, slightly less weight, and not requiring skill in Explosives to use.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "Red Victory Grenade Rifle", with a stock painted to resemble the Chinese flag, and the "Great Bear Grenade Rifle", which has a blue grip and forend and a white Army star on the grip. The Red Victory can only be acquired if the player chooses to nuke the Legion at the end of the DLC, and the Great Bear only if the player chooses to nuke the NCR. The Red Victory is faster firing, weighs less, and is more durable compared to the base Grenade Rifle. The Great Bear is slightly heavier than the Red Victory (but still lighter than the base Grenade Rifle), but is much more durable and does more damage than the base Grenade Rifle.

[[File:FNV Great Bear.jpg|thumb|none|500px|...and the fourth one, the Great Bear, with a white star-in-circle design similar to that seen on some US Army vehicles.]]

==China Lake Launcher==
The [[China Lake Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Launcher". Unlike the real weapon, it has a 4-round tube magazine (as opposed to the real China Lake's 3-round tube magazine) and a much lower stock, presumably so that it can reuse animations from the Remington 870. Most Boomers carry it, along with one of the caravan guards at the start of the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC, and it can also be found in a few locations or purchased from several traders.

Consistent with ''New Vegas'''s design philosophy of making less powerful weapons still valuable after the player has found an "upgrade", while it initially appears to be an upgrade in every way over the Grenade Rifle, the Grenade Launcher is a fiddly beast with a less consistent damage output than the Grenade Rifle, due to the longer reloads. Additionally unlike the Grenade Rifle, the Launcher has no extended barrel upgrade to increase its range, which limits its potential for long range bombardment without extensive practice in learning its projectile arc.

A modified version named the "Holorifle" appears in the ''Dead Money'' DLC, with a futuristic short-range scope and various electronic pieces to convert the weapon to a microfusion cell-based energy weapon, firing some kind of odd hard light projectiles, and loading microfusion cells into the tube magazine and ejecting them after firing. It is given to the player once they arrive at the Sierra Madre. The Holorifle is decent against the enemies that stalk the Madre, though microfusion cells are hard to find there.

[[File:FNV Holorifle Side.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The right side of the Holorifle, as seen shortly after firing.]]

=="Grenade Machinegun"==
The "Grenade Machinegun" is a fictitious large fully-automatic grenade launcer firing 25mm grenades. It is comparable to the game's miniguns and flamethrowers in size and layout, also having an ammo storage carreid on the user's back. The gun carries a large amount of electronics, complete with a monitor at the top that displays Bash script; as the "high-speed kit" modification which improves the rate of fire changes the colors of the electronics on the side, they appear to assist in feeding the weapon. The large muzzle brake, drum magazine, side-mounted handle and use of small-caliber grenades bears some resemblance to the [[Norinco QLZ-87]] automatic grenade launcher, though unlike the QL, the barrel is reciprocating, implying recoil operation instead of the gas operation of the QLZ. Instead of the drum being replaced when reloading, the side of the drum opens up and the Courier inserts in a disc-shaped rack of grenades, which is presumably kept in the ammo storage on their back. The Grenade Machinegun is a fairly powerful late game explosive weapon in comparison to the Missile Launcher or Fatman, a high damage but relatively controllable death machine capped by the rarity of 25mm ammo in the wastes.

The unique variant, "Mercy", can be found in Dead Wind Cavern. Apparently a relic from before the nukes fell, it has "Hei Gui Bye Bye" spraypainted on its body (Hei Gui is the name of a group of Chinese commandos in the game) and is in an extremely rusty state, though it still has two-and-a-half times the durability of a standard grenade machinegun. It also rocks a rechambering to 40mm, drastically improving its damage and power at a cost of reduced ammo capacity and making it harder to keep this stocked up when playing on Hardcore due to how heavy 40mm ammo is.

=="25mm Grenade APW"*==
The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "25mm Grenade APW" (Anti-Personnel Weapon), a fictitious semi-automatic grenade launcher firing 25mm grenades from a six-round detachable box magazine. While fictional, the 25mm Grenade APW bears a very loose resemblance to some semi-auto shotguns, like the [[Remington 1100]]. Being a ''GRA'' weapon, it is only available from traders, being sold by the Gun Runners, the Boomers, Alexander at the 188 Trading Post, among others.

It serves as an interesting midway in the explosives category, doing slightly less damage than the 40mm launchers and not providing as much overall firepower as the Grenade Machinegun, but is lighter and more portable than either, while still retaining great lethality. The APW has three available modifications: "Upgraded Internals" which increases fire rate by 25%; a longer barrel, which doubles projectile velocity and range; and an 8-round extended magazine (called an "expanded drum", despite not actually being a drum magazine).

=Grenades & Explosives=
==M84 Stun Grenade*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the [[M84 stun grenade]] as the "Flash Bang". Unlike regular grenades, it deals fatigue damage, reduces enemy weapon skills, and has a chance to frenzy Tunnelers.

Prior to its addition in ''Lonesome Road'', the M84 appeared as an unused weapon in the base game named the "Stun Grenade". This version had circular holes in the body and a differently-shaped fuse and lever.
[[File:M84-Flash-Bang-Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M84 stun grenade]]

[[Image:FNV Stun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier finds a M84 stun grenade in some rubble.]]

=="Frag Grenade"==
The fictional "Frag Grenades" returning from ''Fallout 3'' are heavily based on the Danish [[M23 Haanbombe]]. In-game, they can be found in boxes and crates in certain locations, looted from Recruit Legionaries, and bought from some merchants (including the Vendortron). The Frag Grenade is also an improved holdout weapon, meaning that any Courier with a Sneak skill of 50 or higher can take them into weapons-free zones, though their quality as a stealth weapon is obviously highly dubious.

Occasionally, the Courier will run into traps consisting of three frag grenades hanging from a ceiling, a setup that the game rather affectionately calls a "Grenade Bouquet". If the Courier has an Explosives skill of 30 or more, then they can retrieve these grenades for later use.

If the player has the Wild Wasteland trait, a box in the basement of Camp Searchlight's church that normally contains mini-nukes will instead contain three unique "Holy Frag Grenades", identical to the regular grenades except for a white cross painted onto the body. Compared to the standard frag grenade, the Holy Frag Grenade has a far larger and more damaging explosion, and leaves radiation in its wake, much like a mini-nuke. The Holy Frag Grenades as a whole, as well as the text found near to them on a box, are a reference to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''.

Perhaps the Explosives skill requirement to disarm a rather rudimentary trap gives the Courier the resources to fashion new pins.]]

==AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade==
The game's "Incendiary Grenade", while somewhat generic, seems to be an [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]] with a black-and-orange coloration. Its markings claim it is an "AN-2051 INCENDIARY GRENADE", as well as a "MODEL 0531". The incendiary grenade can be found in several locations, though it isn't as widespread as the Frag Grenade. Like other grenades, the Incendiary Grenade is an improved holdout weapon.

==M112 C4 Demolition Charge==
The in-game C4 charges are composed of 4 US-issue M112 C4 charges held together with tape. In-game, they are quite powerful, and can be found in several locations, albeit in small numbers. While the player requires a detonator to set them off normally, one is not absolutely necessary, as the in-game C4 can erroneously be detonated by gunfire, something which does not happen with actual C4.

==TM-46 Anti-Tank Mine==
The "Frag Mine", a recoloured and shrunken [[TM-46 anti-tank mine]], returns from the previous game. It functions more or less the same as it did in ''Fallout 3'', producing a small explosion after beeping for a few seconds when a target gets close enough, the duration and proximity for detection depending on the Courier's Explosives skill. Mines planted as traps can be found in a variety of locations, sometimes hidden under corpses or other objects.

In ''Dead Money'', another variant of the TM-46 appears; it is known as the "Demolition Charge", and must be bought from Sierra Madre vending machines for 75 chips each after the appropriate holotape is found. Compared to the more common Frag Mine, Demo Charges feature a negligibly higher amount of damage and no Explosives skill requirement, but are also three times as heavy, weighing 1.5 pounds instead of 0.5. It also has a different skin, sporting a yellower body with diagonal black stripes along the sides and a partially-obscured radiation symbol on top (though the charge does not afflict any radiation damage).

=Other=
==Fictional AA Gun==
A fictional type of anti-aircraft gun, seemingly based on the [[80 cm Kanone (E)|''Schwerer Gustav'' 80cm railway gun]] and heavily scaled down, is seen in pre-war emplacements on Hoover Dam. Additionally, the fixed artillery pieces found at the X-7a site at Big MT in ''Old World Blues'', which can be used to fire a Saturnite round at the X-7b site, seem to be a variant of the AA gun, being constructed of some of the same parts.

[[File:FNV Fixed Artillery Big MT.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artillery pieces, as seen at the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch site.]]

=="Flamer"==
The fictitious "Flamer" flamethrower returns from ''Fallout 3''. Due to the Big Guns skill no longer existing, it is classed as an Energy Weapon. Its model is identical to the ''Fallout 3'' version, and so again seems to be based on the [[M9 Flamethrower|M9A1-7 Flamethrower]], with a backpack similar to that of the [[M2 Flamethrower]]. In-game, it is found in a few locations, including two of The Strip's casinos (the Gomorrah and the Ultra Luxe), in the Silver Rush, on the Fiend leader Cook-Cook, in Vaults 3 and 22, and on the Marked Man Blister in Lonesome Road. The Flamer has one modification - "Expanded Tanks", which double its ammunition capacity. Low damage, high rate of ''fire'' and usually defeating armor, if you can take the brunt of getting shot while using it, it's a messy but fun main arm for Energy Weapon builds.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant of the Flamer to the game, the "Cleansing Flame". Compared to the standard Flamer, it weighs more (22 pounds instead of 15), costs slightly more AP to use in VATS, does slightly less base damage, has a lower crit chance, and has a higher spread, but is more durable, holds 100 units of fuel (higher than the Flamer's base capacity, but lower than the Flamer with expanded tanks), and has a slightly longer after-burn effect that increases in both damage and duration with the user's Energy Weapons skill. Visually, it has 2 moderately-sized fuel tanks and 1 smaller pressure tank (rather than the 2 small fuel tanks and one large pressure tank of the standard version), a narrower nozzle, three orange fuel lines on the wand (rather than the single black one of the normal Flamer), and a distinctive blue flame effect.

==M101 Howitzer==
Somewhat oversized M101 Howitzers appear in a few locations in the game, notably at Nellis AFB and The Fort. The one at the Fort is broken, and the Legion sidequest "I Hear You Knocking" has the player go to Nellis AFB to retrieve a replacement firing mechanism.

==Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun==
The [[Red Ryder]] returns from ''Fallout 3'', again as the "BB Gun". Markings on the loader claim it to be a "Raider BB Rifle". It is the weakest ranged weapon in the game - which makes sense, it being a toy rather than an actual weapon. It has a capacity of 100 BBs instead of the real gun's 650, and its accuracy is somewhat poor. It can be found in a variety of locations, including (but not limited to): toy boxes, the Nellis schoolhouse, a shack at the top of Coyote Mines, Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals, a house in Nipton, the Great Khan armorer (sometimes), and Coach's office in ''Old World Blues''. Amusingly enough, despite being an airgun firing BBs, it it still considered a firearm by the game, and is thus capable of certain odd things, such as igniting flammable vapors with its nonexistent muzzle blast.

The unique variant of the weapon, the "Abilene Kid LE BB Gun", is visually identical to the base version visually except for a marking on the stock denoting it as part of a 200-strong limited edition. It is nearly identical statistics-wise to the standard BB Gun, save for better durability, a slightly higher crit chance (1.5 instead of 1), and secretly boasts an extremely high critical damage boost, bumping it from a base damage of 4 to a whopping 70 on a critical hit (compared to the standard variant's critical damage of 6.2 and higher than any weapon in the game except for the Brush Gun, Medicine Stick, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Paciencia and Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.); furthermore, with the correct perks, this can be raised all the way to 157. The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun can be found in Fields' Shack, or in Jimmy's Well if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait (which is located directly in front of Fields' Shack).

[[Image:FalloutNewVegasUltimateEditionCoverPC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition'' (2012). The game and all its DLC was released together as the Ultimate Edition in February 2012.]]

'''''Fallout: New Vegas''''' is the fourth installment in the long-running ''Fallout'' series. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Nevada, roughly four years after (but not influenced by) the events of the previous title, ''[[Fallout 3]]''. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (''[[Alpha Protocol]]'') and published by Bethesda in 2010. The game is available for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. [[Ron Perlman]], [[Danny Trejo]], [[Kris Kristofferson]], and [[Matthew Perry]] can be found among the voice actors of the game.

The game follows the story of Courier 6, who is ambushed while carrying a mysterious package bound for New Vegas at the behest of Mr. House, the reclusive ruler of the city. Shot in the head, Courier 6 survives and soon finds themself wrapped up in the oncoming battle between the New California Republic and a band of slavers from Arizona and Colorado known as Caesar's Legion.

A host of DLC were released for the game, which were then collected into the ''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition''. The first, ''Dead Money'', revolves around a long-planned casino heist in the Sierra Madre, a famous casino locked since the Great War. ''Honest Hearts'' takes place in the post-War Zion National Park and, among other things, adds a new caliber to the game, .45 ACP. ''Old World Blues'' takes place at the scientific research facility Big Mountain or the Big MT. The final regular DLC, ''Lonesome Road'', adds backstory for the main character, Courier 6, as well as taking place in the ruins of various military installations in the towns of Hopeville and Ashton. A fifth pack, ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'', did not add any story content, but instead added a host of weapons to various vendors around the game. The sixth, ''Courier's Stash'', also did not add any new story content, nor technically any new content at all, but instead made the pre-order exclusive item packs available to everyone.

''Fallout: New Vegas'' has a very in-depth ammunition system. The player can reload ammo, and there are many variants of each ammunition type. For a list, see the [[Talk:Fallout: New Vegas|discussion page]]. Director Joshua Sawyer, via his account on the now defunct Formspring (an archive of which can be found [https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/an-archive-of-josh-sawyers-formspring-from-april-2010-through-march-2013-over-1-mb-of-text.128571/ here]) has confirmed several details about the firearms the game's weapons are based on among the many questions he has answered.

(*) indicates that the weapon was added in DLC.

{{VG Title}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
As an interesting note for the three "hammered" handguns (the Hi-Power and the two Colts): upon drawing the weapon, they will have an uncocked hammer. The first trigger pull is therefore technically in double-action mode; afterward, each subsequent shot the entire time the handgun is equipped is in single-action. While this is not correct for any of the three single-action handguns, it's still a nice touch.

==Browning Hi-Power==
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] appears as the "9mm Pistol", made by a fictional "M&A Guns Manufacturers" according to the slide legends. It can be modified with a short-range scope and a 20-round magazine. It weighs 1.5 pounds, lower than the 2.2 of the real thing. It's the most common gun in the game, standard issue to most factions like the NCR and given to the player by Doc Mitchell at the start of the game, unless the player rolled their stats into another skill beyond Guns. The standard Hi-Power is seen in the hands of series mascots Vault Boy and Vault Girl in various perk icons, and is used by Vault Boy on the achievement icon for the quest "You'll Know it When It Happens". It also appears in NCR propaganda posters. The Hi-Power is a very adequate firearm, with mediocre damage and accuracy that benefits from its high capacity (and thus DPS against lightly/unarmored opponents) and how common 9mm ammo is, but still leads to it getting replaced quickly for better sidearms.

A unique version called "Maria", based on the factory-engraved "Renaissance" model with grips painted with Our Lady of Guadalupe, is carried by Benny (voiced by Matthew Perry), which he uses to execute the Courier in the opening FMV. The player can later acquire it from him (either by killing him or pickpocketing it from him, the latter allows the player to complete the "Talk About Owned" challenge by killing Benny with Maria). Besides being fashionable, Maria boasts a higher fire rate, damage per shot and accuracy over the normal 9mm pistol at a cost of not allowing mods to be attached.

[[File:FalloutNV9mmMaria.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Courier, in an ironic twist of fate, holds Benny's own "Maria" on him while visiting Benny at The Fort.]]

==Ruger Vaquero/Colt Single Action Army==
The ".357 Magnum Revolver" appears to blend elements of the [[Colt Single Action Army]], the [[Ruger Vaquero]], and various other SAA replicas. Like the Vaquero, the cylinder can be moved without the hammer being half-cocked, uses a transfer bar instead of a firing pin, and the cylinder can rotate in either direction. However, it shares similarities with the Colt, such as the three pins on the frame, where the Vaquero only has two. The base gun appears to have a 5" barrel, but can be modified with a 7.5" barrel that increases the damage by +3, as well as an engraved "heavy duty" cylinder which increases its maximum condition by +50%. It weighs 2 pounds, which is appropriate for its initial barrel length, but is not affected by the barrel length upgrade. A Single Action Army also appears on the boxart and title screen, with slight differences due to these images being illustrations instead of using the game's 3D model.

The .357 Magnum Revolver is a very common lower tier gun, used by everyone from Powder Gangers to NCR Patrol Rangers and is one of the first revolvers and magnum caliber guns the player will get. Decent damage and accuracy tempered by middling returns on power and a slow reload as you'd expect from a gate loader.

A unique version called "Lucky" can be found in a safe in the Bison Steve casino in Primm, with a club symbol on ivory grips and an engraved black-and-gold finish. "Lucky" is the fastest-firing revolver in the game. It serves as a high-level eater of .357 Magnum ammo, with its fast ROF and increased damage muted only by its 6-round capacity.

This magazine's cover, which seems to feature some sort of SAA-type revolver, is actually derived from a cover for the 1945 movie ''Dick Tracy, Detective''.]]

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', renamed the ".44 Magnum Revolver" as it no longer has a scope by default. The .44 is a relatively common find at higher levels, carried by some Legionaries, Gomorrah lieutenant Cachino, some Fiends, and Old Ben in Freeside. Raul Tejada ([[Danny Trejo]]), former ''vaquero'' and vagrant handyman, carries one as his signature weapon. The .44 Magnum is as powerful as it was in ''Fallout 3'' and can be used more freely now that it lacks the scope. The scope is still available as a modification, plus a "heavy frame" that gives the gun a matte finish and bright S&W rosewood grips. It weighs 3.5 pounds, rounded down from its real counterpart. Incorrectly, the Model 29 uses the Pip-Boy icon for the [[Smith & Wesson Model 2 Double Action]] from ''Fallout 3'', which does not appear in ''New Vegas''.

The unique version of the Model 29 is known as the "Mysterious Magnum" and features a nickel-plated finish with engravings, a mother of pearl grip, and a mysterious tune that plays whenever the pistol is drawn or holstered. The Mysterious Magnum is carried by the Lonesome Drifter, who can be found by a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard near the El Dorado Dry Lake, and can be acquired from him during the quest "Talent Pool". The Mysterious Magnum has a faster fire rate, better accuracy, increased critical hit damage but a lower durability stat, but is still a very powerful and frankly stylish high level sidearm. A version of the Mysterious Magnum with extremely buffed damage is also used by the Mysterious Stranger. The Mysterious Magnum appears to have a blocked barrel (due to the bore on the default .44 Magnum being a texture) which can be seen when reloading it.

=="12.7mm Pistol"==
The "12.7mm Pistol" is a fictitious pistol chambered for the also fictitious 12.7mm round (the in-universe equivalent to .50 AE or .50 Beowulf). It is based on the "SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'', though the magazine is inserted into the grip instead of being housed in front of the trigger like the original 14mm. Like the original design, it is roughly a 50% ultra-chunky [[Hämmerli 280]] (now minus the separate magwell) and 50% the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|"LAPD 2019 Blaster"]] from the movie ''[[Blade Runner]]'', though a standalone gun even closer to the ''Blade Runner'' weapon exists too. Its only modification is a suppressor. The pistol's grip also has a loose similarity to that of the Finnish [[Jatimatic]] submachine gun. The 12.7mm Pistol is as rare as its ammo, found in Bloodborne Cave and carried by NCR troops at Hoover Dam as well as NCR Ranger Presidential Guards. While it needs a high Strength and Guns skill to properly use, the 12.7mm's power is one to be reckoned with, piercing flesh and armor alike with ease and making it a solid choice for a high-level sidearm when armor's a problem.

A unique variant was added with the ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC, named "Lil' Devil". This unique compact variant has a shorter barrel and synthetic black grips, as well as a dark matte finish. Lil' Devil, besides being an adorable name for a sidearm, is better than the standard 12.7mm in almost every way, from damage to the fact it can be snuck into Strip casinos. The only disadvantage is that it can't be fitted with a silencer.

=="10mm Pistol"==
The "10mm Pistol" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. As in that game, it is loosely based on a [[Desert Eagle|Magnum Research Desert Eagle]]. The 10mm is a very common weapon, sold and carried by many merchants, Vault 19 Powder Gangers, and many members of the Kings. Unlike the Browning and two Colt pistols, it seems to operate entirely in double action. It can be modified with a laser sight, suppressor, and extended magazine. The 10mm is a reliable sidearm for the mid point of the game, with higher damage and DPS than the standard 9mm offerings alongside decent mods to keep it in the power band long enough to be useful.

The pre-order bonus "Classic Pack", also included in the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, adds the "Weathered 10mm Pistol"; aside from the different skin, it features slightly higher damage and durability at the cost of not being a holdout weapon.

==LAPD 2019 'Blaster'==
The [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]] from ''[[Blade Runner]]'' makes a return to the ''Fallout'' series. Called "That Gun" in-game, in reference to "That Gun from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]''", the .223 Pistol. Like its predecessor, it chambers 5.56x45mm NATO and can also chamber .223, which wears out the gun slower at the cost of less damage. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a non-unique variant of this weapon, called the "5.56mm Pistol". "That Gun" can be purchased from Cliff Briscoe in Novac or stolen from the back room. The 5.56mm Pistol is more than just old ''Fallout'' nostalgia, but a potent side-grade pistol for mid to high level players. Sure it's not fast firing, but 5.56 AP is very common and very effective for pesky Legionnaires.

The handgun is useable to complete two movie-related challenges (tasks the player can complete to earn XP). "Benefit or a Hazard" refers to the film the gun originated in, ''Blade Runner'', and requires the Courier (fittingly) to kill robots with the pistol, while "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'" (a reference to Clint Eastwood's line to a bounty hunter in ''[[The Outlaw Josey Wales]]'') requires the Courier kill members of enemy faction hit squads with "Cowboy" themed weapons (which includes all revolvers and lever-action weapons, including the decidedly un-Western 5.56mm).

==Ruger 22/45==
The [[Ruger 22/45]] appears as the "Silenced .22 Pistol". It has an integral sliencer and will not alert enemies (who have not been shot) of the player's presence. It will not dismember on hit and does less damage to limbs. It is also one of the two guns players can always sneak into casinos regardless of their sneak skill, the other being the Police Pistol. The .22 Pistol is very common, being found in Camp McCarran, the Vikki and Vance Casino, as well as being sold by Mr. Holdout on the Strip; one will always be used to kill the White Glove Society member Chauncey during "Beyond the Beef," even if something would physically prevent the bullets from reaching him (such as a party member).

==Colt New Service*==
The [[Colt New Service]] appears in the first ''New Vegas'' DLC, ''Dead Money'', as the "Police Pistol", and deviates from the real revolver in that it chambers .357 Magnum in-game. The Courier will cock the hammer after every shot, but the first round fired from the pistol will be in double-action. The inclusion of this revolver is a reference to ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', which was a major influence for the DLC alongside the Japanese suspense film ''[[Battle Royale]]''.

The weapon is extremely useful in ''Dead Money'' due to its very high critical hit ratio, mostly for killing unconscious Ghosts, the zombie-like residents of the Sierra Madre. The New Service can be found in surprising numbers around the Sierra Madre in various containers, as well as in Dean Domino's Secret Stashes. It weighs 3 pounds, which is significantly higher than its real weight of 2.3.

This is because the New Service's model reuses parts from the S&W M29 such as its cylinder and frame.]]

==Magnum Research BFR==
The [[Magnum Research BFR]] appears as the "Hunting Revolver", chambered in .45-70 Govt'. Unlike the real BFR, which is a single action only revolver that feeds from a loading gate, the Hunting Revolver is a double action revolver that feeds through a swing-out cylinder. It always has an unremovable scope. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant which can accept modifications; this includes a 6-shot cylinder and a match barrel, decreasing weapon spread. The Hunting Revolver can be found in a variety of places; carried by the mercenary Orris in Freeside, at the campfire in Bloodborne Cave, and tucked away in the REPCONN Test Site. The Hunting Revolver is a solid way to tap into your early .45-70 reserves, with high raw damage and a scope to let you select and delete heads with ease.

The Ranger Sequoia is a unique scopeless version given to NCR Rangers, with a black finish, gold engraving, the NCR bear and Ranger symbol on the wood grip, a brass plate reading "20 Years" on the underside, and "For Honorable Service" and "Against All Tyrants" engraved on the different sides of the barrel. The Ranger Sequoia is much rarer, found on some NCR Veteran Rangers as well as their commander, Chief Hanlon ([[Kris Kristofferson]]); his can be acquired during the quest "Return to Sender," depending on its resolution. The Ranger Sequoia is one of the game's most powerful weapons, with a higher damage, rate of fire and even crit chance than the normal Hunting Revolver and with no scope to stop you from whipping this thing out.

==Colt M1911A1*==
The ''Honest Hearts'' DLC introduces the [[M1911A1]] as the ".45 Auto Pistol". Joshua Graham describes the gun as "designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago", referring to fellow LDS follower John Moses Browning. The Dead Horses, and most tribes in Zion, make extensive use of it. After beating the main questline of Honest Hearts, .45 Auto ammunition, and the weapons which fire it, are carried by the Gun Runners outside New Vegas; the weapons themselves are never used by NPCs outside the Park, however. The .45 Auto Pistol can take two upgrades: the HD Slide improves the weapon's durability, while the suppressor eliminates the gun's report. After these upgrades, the pistol resembles a [[Colt XSE]]. At one point, the in-game iron sights were going to be an upgrade, with the gun having default, more traditional M1911 sights; this ended up being cut, and the upgraded 3-dot sights are permanent on the default weapon in the final game. The M1911 used by Follows-Chalk still has the original iron sights, but it is normally unobtainable. It correctly holds 7 rounds.

The M1911A1 is a powerful weapon, with damage in the semi-auto pistol department only beaten out by the 12.7mm Pistol and (illogically) vastly outperforming the 10mm Pistol; according to director Joshua Sawyer, the reason for this was to make it an intermediate pistol caliber between 10mm and 12.7mm, and to fit player expectations of "''[[Last Man Standing]]''-style .45s that throw guys 20' through the air". It is the most powerful holdout weapon compatible with a suppressor, but ammo is hard to come by outside of Zion, as .45 ACP can only be obtained by purchasing it from certain merchants or reloading. It weighs 1.5 pounds, quite light for a 1911 variant (for reference, an original M1911 weighs about 2.3). Follows-Chalk mentions that Joshua tells him the M1911A1's cartridge “Won the West”; this seems to be a misplaced reference to the .45 Long Colt, since both it and the .45 ACP (Automatic Colt Pistol) could be referred to simply as ".45 Colt".

==Colt New Agent*==
Joshua Graham from the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC carries a unique .45 Auto pistol, a [[M1911|Colt New Agent]] with a snakeskin-pattern grip and Greek script engraved into the slide. The script ("καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει" on the right side and "και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν" on the left side) is a quote from the Bible (John 1:5) ''"And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"'', from which the weapon's name, "A Light Shining in Darkness", is derived. In keeping with this name, the slide glows in the dark, making it easier to use in poorly lit caves and ruins. It holds 6 rounds of .45 Auto in its magazine.

Despite the decreased ammo capacity, A Light Shining in Darkness is in every other way superior to the base .45 Auto, having higher damage, reduced weight, a faster rate of fire, and increased crit chance and damage. Really the only negative is the guttersnipe sights and the lack of a suppressor, but that didn't stop Joshua using it.

==Brescia Model 00*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds a visually-altered Italian WWII-era Brescia Model 00, appearing simply as the "Flare Gun". Many Marked Men have it (and, in some cases, are scripted to fire it into the air, presumably signaling for help), and some emergency kits do as well. Bizarrely, while the animations suggest that the weapon fires ordinary flares, it actually consumes 10 units of flamethrower fuel per shot; as a consequence, it is oddly classed as an energy weapon in-game. Even more bizarrely, the Flare Gun is also an improved holdout weapon, perfect for dealing with the ever present danger of Deathclaw attacks on the Strip.

As an in-game weapon, it cannot be used for any sort of signaling, but can be used to do damage to (and ignite) enemies from a distance - provided, that is, that the player can compensate for the arc-type trajectory of the flares. However, its main advantage is its ability to frighten away abominations - even the mighty Deathclaw is terrified by flares.

==Ruger GP100==
While not usable in-game, a [[Ruger GP100]] appears on the cover of the "Guns and Bullets" skill book, which permanently raises the user's Guns skill by 3 points.

==Shansi Type 17==
Similarly, while the [[Shansi Type 17]] can't be used in-game, it still makes an appearance, being one of the unusable weapons in Mick's weapon stash in the back of Mick & Ralph's. It is exactly the same model as the one used in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.
[[Image:C96-10.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Shansi Type 17 - .45 ACP]]
[[File:Fnvshansi-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier looks at a Shansi imprisoned in Mick's stash, never to be used. Above it is one of the two "Infiltrators", another ''Fallout 3'' weapon.]]

=Submachine Guns=
=="10mm Submachine Gun"==
The "10mm Submachine Gun" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', and is again essentially a [[Browning M2HB]] receiver reversed and put into a package similar to the defunct [[Heckler & Koch SMG]] prorotype, along with a pistol grip and trigger guard reminiscent of the [[Thompson]] line of submachine guns. It can be found on many mid-level humanoid mobs such as Jackal gang members and members of the Kings. It can also be found as level-adjusted loot in gun lockers once the player reaches a high enough level.

Although the in-game description for the 10mm SMG lists a high DPS, it shares the common weakness of most shotguns and automatic weapons in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' in that much of its theoretical power is negated by the new Damage Threshold system. In addition to losing much of its damage, the high spread of this weapon requires the player to be at close ranges for all of the rounds fired to impact on the target. Despite this, if the player does manage to get into close range via stealth or ambushing it can be a powerful weapon against unarmored enemies.

It can be modified with a 40-round magazine and a recoil compensator.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as "Sleepytyme", which has an integral suppressor, greater damage, and a higher rate of fire. It is also a holdout weapon that can be carried into casinos and is the only automatic holdout weapon available.
[[File:BrowningM2_plain.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG]]
[[File:HK SMG II.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch SMG II - 9x19mm]]
[[File:FalloutNewVegas10mm_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The in-game model for the 10mm SMG. Note the two selector switches pointing opposite directions above the pistol grip, a setup presumably based on the aforementioned Thompson; assuming that these markings are HK-style pictograms, the rear one (which would be rather awkward to operate) has one "safe" position and two "fire" ones (with the top one selected), while the front seemingly has 3-round burst, 4-round burst (selected), and a six-notch setting that presumably represents full-auto. While it could be argued that the rear selector offers safe, semi-auto, and a position that can be either burst or full-auto depending on the front switch's setting (akin to the dual-switch setup on the [[FAMAS F1]]), this idea is somewhat undermined by the two "fire" markings being completely identical.]]
[[File:10mm SMG with extended mag and recoil comp.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The 10mm SMG fitted with an extended magazine and a recoil compensator. It's not entirely clear how the latter attachment is actually attached, given that the weapon's muzzle (shown above, and seemingly based on the M2's buffer tube given its placement) is a smooth, tapered tube with no threads or notches; given its placement, it appears to be just ''barely'' attached at all, overlapping almost none of the barrel.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier holds his 10mm SMG.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then reloads it, wondering why it has what seems to be an unusable underfolding stock (which could never be unfolded with the magazine in place). After swapping mags, the Courier then "pulls" the weapon's charging handle; the handle doesn't actually move, presumably because it's placed all the way at the end of its slot - since the receiver was modeled off of a Browning M2 with the bolt forward, its reversal puts the bolt all the way back, with no space for it to be pulled further.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the weapon in third-person. The right side is more or less exactly the same as the left.]]

[[File:FalloutNVSleepytyme.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Out on the streets, the Courier holds "Sleepytyme".]]

==M3 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3 Grease Gun]] chambered for 9mm rounds appears as the "9mm Submachine Gun". It has a heavily shortened barrel and is scaled down so it can be held one-handed. It can be modified with drum magazines that increase ammo capacity by 30 rounds and a "light bolt" that increases the rate of fire. The 9mm SMG is fairly common, with the player being able to acquire one right at the start of the game with a high enough Repair skill. Its standard 30-round magazine and easy-to-find 9mm ammo make it one of the better starter weapons, but it loses its effectiveness once armor gets involved due to low damage and the thin 30 rounder mags.

The unique variant, "Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun", can be acquired by completing an unmarked quest to track it down after it was stolen from a casino dedicated to fictitious criminals Vikki & Vance, the latter of which owned the gun. Vikki & Vance are stated to have been contemporaries of Bonnie & Clyde, making their use of an M3 anachronistic by about ten years. Vance's 9mm SMG comes with a pristine black finish, wood or bakelite grips, no stock, and express-type sights. While like a majority of unique variants it cannot be modified, it comes with 60-round magazines and a rate of fire inbetween the default 9mm SMG and it with the light bolt modification, in addition to the usual unique variant upgrades. Increased damage, hit probability and the weird in-between rate of fire so you can spray wildly and actually hit what you're aiming at, a perfect way to spend your 9mm stocks late game.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "H&H Tools Nail Gun" as a weapon. The Nail Gun bears a striking resemblance to the M3, featuring a very similar profile and layout, even having the M3's crank lever and replacing the M3's ejection port with a safety switch. Should you find enough nails in either The Divide or the Mojave, keep them for this. Sure it's not as powerful as either of its original versions, but the double damage to limbs makes this an entertaining way to stop an annoying enemy from shooting you.

==American-180==
The [[American-180]] appears in-game as the "Silenced .22 SMG". It lacks a stock and is integrally suppressed. In-game, it uses 180-round magazines which can be replaced with a larger pan magazine that holds 240 rounds, both of which are not available for the gun's real life counterpart. The American 180 can be found on Gomorrah Bank Guards and Fiend raiders in Vault 3.

Both it and the stocks of .22 necessary to keep it running aren't particularly common, but combo the two and you have a delightfully silly gun for any combat encounter where any enemy can be dropped in a endless swarm of .22 caliber bees.

==Thompson Submachine Guns==
Two variants of the Thompson SMG series appear in game, one as an energy weapon, the other as a conventional slug-thrower.

===M1928 Thompson===
An [[M1928 Thompson]]-inspired energy weapon appears as the "Laser RCW" (Rapid Capacitor Weapon, according to the game's director Josh Sawyer). It holds 60 Electron Charge Packs in a drum and can be modified with a Recycler attachment, which replenishes 1 shot per 4 fired. In addition, on the rear portion of the receiver, it has a rail-top carry handle based on the H&K [[G36C]]'s.

The RCW is a fairly common energy weapon, used by Fiends, Brotherhood of Steel scribes, and members of the Bright Brotherhood found scattered across the waste or at REPCONN. Using the somewhat uncommon ECP packs and allowing for a recycler to maximize its charge, the RCW is a proto-Minigun and a good high ROF weapon for an early to mid game Energy Weapons build that lets you ditch a Recharger Rifle and have something to panic spray middling damage at.

Though not usable, normal M1928s appear on the cover for the "Milsurp Review" skill magazine, which temporarily raises the player's Guns skill by 10.

===M1A1 Thompson*===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the ".45 Auto Submachine Gun", introduced in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It can be modified with a Cutts compensator to reduce spread, as well as M1921/M1928 50-round drum magazines which somehow work with the M1A1's magazine well. The weapon is used heavily by the White Legs tribe, who call them "storm drums," and is stocked by a variety of traders in the Mojave following the completion of the DLC's campaign.

The .45 Auto SMG is a powerful SMG on par with the 12.7mm SMG, with a high rate of fire combined with powerful rounds, but tempered by rather poor accuracy. The weapon incorrectly fires in a closed bolt manner due to it reusing animations for other autoloading firearms.

=="12.7mm Submachine Gun"==
The heavy-hitter of the submachine gun category, the "12.7mm submachine gun", while largely fictional, has some distinct features from some real-world weapons, using a top-mounted 21-round magazine that lies flat along the top of the weapon, rather like that of an [[FN P90]] (interestingly, the rear sight is mounted to this magazine, rather like the [[Calico]] series), and what appears to be a [[TDI Vector]]-style offset recoil system (which, given the caliber, would probably be necessary). It can be found on the Legion's Veteran Decanii, and other high-ranking officials, as well as some of their assassins and vexillarius at higher levels, high-level White Legs in ''Honest Hearts'', and both high-level marked men and Ulysses in ''Lonesome Road''; one can also be found in Bloodborne Cave, and can be bought from some weapon merchants and the Great Khans at higher levels, as well as the Vendortron, and occasionally Knight Torres.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a version that can be customized further than the one in the base game - while the standard version can accept a suppressor (which, like the [[PGM Hecate II]]'s suppressor, reduces enemies' ability to hear the weapon, rather than eliminating it), the ''GRA'' version can also be fitted with a laser sight (which increases accuracy), and a "Stacked Magazine" (which raises the capacity from 21 rounds to 27). The 12.7mm SMG is the best submachine gun in the game, due to the extremely powerful 12.7mm round. It shreds through light, medium and heavy armor and can take down high-end enemies like Rangers, Deathclaws and Paladins within a few mags. However, the scarcity of the ammo plus the relatively small magazine somewhat limits the 12.7mm SMG's power.

=Rifles=
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]] appears as the "Assault Carbine". It is chambered for the fictional 5mm round (also used by the Minigun) and is the fastest firing rifle in the base game, tied with the LMG. It has a 24-round magazine by default (although the magazine itself is modelled after a 20-round one), but can be upgraded with a 30-round magazine. It, along with the other AR-15 derivatives below, lacks a charging handle on the rear of the carry handle, instead having a knob located directly on the bolt on the right side. The Assault Carbine can be found in many former military installations in the Mojave such as Vault 34 as well as the Nellis Air Force Base. Companion Lily Bowen's personal Assault Carbine is fitted with a suppressor, which is not available as a mod for either of the two playable Assault Carbine variants.

The Assault Carbine is a good armor breaker, allowing an easily aimed usage of 5mm ammo than the Minigun tempered by its still ridiculously fast fire rate. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant of the Assault Carbine with additional modifications; a "forged receiver" which increases the weapon's durability, a "light bolt" which increases rate of fire, and an extended magazine which raises its capacity to 30 rounds.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with a SIR railed foregrip, a Magpul PRS stock, and a low-power ACOG-style scope appears as the "Marksman Carbine". The Marksman Carbine is a somewhat uncommon weapon, with a few being located in Vault 34 and is purchasable from the Vendortron and Knight Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker; it will, however, be frequently used by Legion assassins at high levels. It only holds 20 rounds, even though it is modelled with a 30-round magazine. The Marksman Carbine is a powerful carbine with some of the spicier 5.56 variants like HP or AP, capped mostly by how middling the damage is for 5.56 in-game.

The "All-American", the unique variant of the Marksman Carbine, is found only in the armory at the bottom of the irradiated, ghoul-infested Vault 34 located east of New Vegas. It has a woodland camo finish, a 24-round magazine (which is visually identical to the 20-round magazine on the base carbine), and an 82nd Airborne Division badge on the magazine well (although it tends to glitch and not show properly). The All-American is one of ''New Vegas'''s best scoped weapons, dealing accurate, high-damage shots without eating through rare ammunition. This damage can be further enhanced with the "Hand Loader" perk added with the ''Gun Runner's Arsenal'' DLC, which enables the creation of match 5.56 ammo that increases damage and accuracy with no downside.

==Colt Model 715/Diemaco C7==
A [[Diemaco C7/Colt Model 715]] with [[M16A1]]-styled wood furniture (''Fallout'''s world ran out of oil long ago) appears as the "Service Rifle". The prescence of a round forward assist button and M16A1E1 shell deflector pin it as a C7/Model 715. While rarely seen due to the weapon's high durability and low jam rate even at poor condition, the jam animation involves one of the few instances of the forward assist actually being used in fiction. It can be modified with a "forged receiver" that increases its durability and "upgraded springs" that increase its fire rate. An aperture sight and bayonet are included in the files, but were not implemented. As the name suggests, the Service Rifle is standard issue to the NCR Military and can be found wherever NCR Army troops are or were stationed.

It's a terrifically average rifle that allows a phase-out of the Varmint Rifle as the player's 5.56 caliber rifle, with better stats overall beyond a middling accuracy and lack of a suppressor option, but making up for it with semi automatic firepower. Strangely, the Service Rifle can ''not'' normally be cannibalized for parts to repair the Assault Carbine or Marksman Carbine and vice versa, even though in reality the three would share nearly all parts.

A unique Service Rifle chambered in 12.7mm called the "Survivalist's Rifle" appears in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. Its 12.7mm chambering is a nod to the real world .50 Beowulf conversions for the AR-15 platform. This rifle was the weapon of Randall Clark, a US Army serviceman who fled to Zion Canyon after the Great War. It features a blocky handguard somewhat reminiscent of the M16 LSW/LMG along with a shortened barrel similar to that of the Colt Model 605, but has numerous makeshift repairs along the body work and a damaged front sight. The English and French words "STOP!" and "ARRÊT!" are scrawled onto the stock of the weapon, a marking on the receiver reads "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT CHKPNT CARBINE 12.7MM CAL", and another marking above the trigger reads "LONG BRANCH ARSENAL ONTARIO, USA TERRITORY". The Survivalist's Rifle can be found on top of the Red Gate, in a duffle bag next to the remains of the Survivalist himself. The Survivalist's Rifle lives up to its name - the accuracy of the standard Service Rifle combined with the power of the 12.7mm round are a lethal combination for any target, only capped by the damaged front sight hindering aiming (although in a roundabout way compensates for the game's slightly bugged iron sights system).

==PGM Hecate II==
The [[PGM Hecate II]] appears as the "Anti-Materiel Rifle". It is the first gun seen in the game; one is used during the opening FMV by an NCR Ranger to kill a Fiend countersniper. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant that can be modified with a "carbon fibre body" which decreases weight, a "custom bolt" that increases rate of fire, and a suppressor which doesn't actually suppress gun noise but merely lowers and muffles the gun's extremely loud report to a more comfortable level. The Hecate appears very late in the game, sold by the Gun Runners or Knight Torres of the Brotherhood of Steel and only seen on Veteran Rangers, a few Legion troops and various DLC enemies.

The Hecate is a weapon intended for long-range shooting, easily able to pick through highly armored enemies including deathclaws, but has a slow fire rate, fires rare .50 BMG rounds, and requires a Strength of 8 and a Guns skill of 100 to even shoot properly. Because the Hecate II uses pre-existing animations shared with other bolt-action rifles, the Courier will hold the gun as if it had a rifle grip rather than by the PGM's pistol grip. According to project director Joshua Sawyer, the PGM Hecate II was modeled in the game for the .50 caliber rifle role because he thought [[Barrett]] rifles in other games were too repetitive.

[[Image:FalloutNVAntiMat-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A third person view of the Anti-Materiel Rifle.]]

=="Varmint Rifle"==
The "Varmint Rifle" is a fictitious bolt-action rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine. Originally, it was intended to use .22 LR rounds which were fed from a long, curved magazine, but this proved unpopular during play testing and was changed to 5.56mm rounds feeding from a small box magazine; some NPCs using the rifle still carry .22 LR rounds instead of 5.56mm. It can be upgraded with 8-round extended magazines, a night vision scope and a silencer. It is one of the first weapons available, as a free one is received from Sunny Smiles during the "Back in the Saddle" quest. It is a good starter rifle, boasting decent DPS and accuracy, but after armor is introduced, it becomes quickly obsolete. The combination of a scope and silencer remains unique for quite some time however.

The unique variant is called the "Ratslayer", which can be found in Broc Flower Cave. It has a black polymer stock featuring a stylized mole rat skull and 69 tally marks on the rear right. Should you manage to find this cave in the Level 9-12 range, you've picked up a delightful sidegrade rifle with an increased fire rate, damage and scope zoom to the fully modded Varmint Rifle and a very effective way to silently take down enemies at range until you get the suppressed Sniper Rifle.
[[Image:FalloutNewVegasVarmintrifle.jpg|thumb|500px|none|In-game model for the standard Varmint Rifle. Note that though the hole in the stock is inletted similar to a thumbhole, its placement would make using it as one somewhat uncomfortable due to a very thin grip. The grip itself also is at a rather steep angle, though this is likely to line it up better with animations shared with other guns.]]

==M1 Garand==
An [[M1 Garand]] rechambered for .308 rounds was supposed to appear in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' as the "Battle Rifle", but was cut from the final game. The unique variant of the Battle Rifle, however, was not cut and appears in the base game. Named "This Machine" (a reference to Woodie Guthrie's famous guitar sticker, which read "This Machine Kills Fascists"; seemingly as a response, the in-game weapon's stock is marked "Well This Machine Kills Commies"), it can be acquired by completing the unmarked quest "Dealing with Contreras". Both This Machine and the Battle Rifle weigh the correct 9.5 pounds for an M1 Garand.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC added the base Battle Rifle back into the game. The Battle Rifle can only be obtained from traders. The Battle Rifle serves as a semi-automatic .308 rifle to not so much replace the Hunting Rifle but give you more options. Decently accurate bar its high spread at range with a quick reload and decent damage, it's a good mid-game rifle. And This Machine keeps that going into the late game with more damage and crit chance to make use of that delightful .308 AP.

==Winchester 1886==
The [[Winchester 1886]] appears as the "Cowboy Repeater". It is chambered for .357 Magnum, and can be upgraded with an extended magazine tube that increases its capacity from 7 rounds to 11, a maple stock to reduce weight, and a "custom action" that engraves the receiver and increases rate of fire. The Cowboy Repeater is an early choice for subbing out the Varmint Rifle, doing more damage and using a more versatile cartridge than the Varmint tempered by how mediocre .357 gets against armor.

The unique variant is named "La Longue Carabine" (a reference to ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'') fitted with a scope, the extended magazine tube available for the base rifle, an engraved stock, and an octagonal barrel. It also lacks a loading gate, and as such recycles ''[[Fallout 3]]'''s reloading animations for the [[Henry 1860]], opening the muzzle-end of the magazine tube and then inserting rounds in. It is found on Corporal Sterling of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp McCarran. Faster reload than the normal Repeater, faster fire rate and DPS combo'd with a scope, this thing was built to pop lightly armored Fiends.

==Marlin Model 336==
The [[Marlin Model 336]] appears as the "Trail Carbine", and fires .44 Magnum. It was likely at some point meant to chamber .30-30 WCF but the cartridge was cut from the game due to having too much overlap with the gameplay role .308 Win chambered weapons play in-game, this is evident by the thinner loading gate on the side of the rifle. The Trail Carbine can be found in places such as Bonnie Springs or Red Rock Canyon and it can be modified with a scope. The Trail Carbine is mostly a straight upgrade over the Cowboy Repeater, with more damage and critical hit power and the ability to mount a scope as a mod. Don't knock it till you try it.

=="Hunting Rifle"==
The [[Winchester Model 70]]-inspired "Hunting Rifle" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. Like its counterpart in ''Fallout 3'', it is a bolt-action rifle feeding from a five-round detachable magazine, but now has proper iron sights and chambers .308 Winchester. It can be modified with 10-round magazines, a "custom action" that cleans the bolt and reciever, as well as increasing rate of fire, and a 3.5x scope for long-range shooting. The rifle is fairly common in the hands of some NCR soldiers, Fiends, Legionaries, and other Wastelanders; a Fiend during the opening cutscene makes the incredibly poor choice of using one in an attempt to counter-snipe an NCR Ranger, which ends rather predictably. Companion Craig Boone uses a scoped version, the only companion weapon to have a modification installed (excluding Lily Bowen's Assault Carbine, though the suppressor on that rifle is unobtainable by the player). The Hunting Rifle is one of the perfect mid to high level rifles, serving as a sniping tool between varmint and sniper rifles. It's precise, reliable and good at dealing with anything short of a BoS Paladin or a Deathclaw.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "Paciencia" (Spanish for Patience) unique variant, which can be bought from Cliff Briscoe in Novac. It is cleaner than the regular rifle and lacks the makeshift repairs done to that version, as well as having a Mexican flag wrapped around the stock and a gold bead sight. Panciencia deals extra critical damage and has high reliability, but only has a three-round magazine (identical to the regular rifle's 5-round magazine). It also boasts a 3.5x zoom, despite only having iron sights. According to lead designer Josh Sawyer, this rifle was called "Paciencia" because its user "better make them (the three shots per magazine) count".

==Marlin Model 1895==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] appears as the "Brush Gun", firing .45-70 Gov't rounds out of a six-round tube magazine. Although it is said by Josh Sawyer, the game's lead designer, that it "is not based on one gun specifically, but guns like the [[Winchester Model 1886]] and Marlin Guide Gun", the Winchester influence only comes with the "forged receiver", the Brush Gun's only modification, which gives it the receiver of a Model 1886, as well as increasing the weapon's durability. It is a rare weapon, primarily used by NCR Veteran Rangers and Legion assassins. The Brush Gun is one of the best rifles in the game, with high power and decent accuracy with a plethora of flavors of custom ammo to sink the skill points you need to make this thing effectively into. Do not doubt how utterly busted the HP .45-70 is out of this thing.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as the "Medicine Stick" (presumably a reference to Theodore Roosevelt's [[Winchester Model 1895]] in .405 Winchester, which he called his "Big Medicine"). It features a much less intrusive ghost ring sight, a stainless steel or nickel finish on the reciever, and what appears to be a medicine wheel on its stock. The Medicine Stick is better in every way than the Brush Gun, albeit not as overwhelmingly as the other GRA weapons. That being said it's still a high powered and accurate boomstick with more accuracy and an easier to read sight picture.

=="Gauss Rifle"==
The "Gauss Rifle" returns from ''Fallout 3'''s ''Operation: Anchorage'' DLC, now sporting a buttplate on the stock. While fictional, the Gauss Rifle is rather clearly inspired by the [[Lahti L-39]] anti-tank rifle, particularly in the receiver area; it even retains the L-39's crank-type cocking handle (which is only used when the rifle "jams" by rotating it back into place). The weapon uses microfusion cells, of which it holds 5, and consumes 5 per shot, essentially making it a single-shot rifle. Bizarrely, while the weapon still does behave as a coilgun logically should, propelling ferromagnetic projectiles with electromagnetism, these projectiles (presumably contained in the weapon's side-mounted box magazine) are never replenished, and never run out. It is found on BoS Paladins, Y-17 Trauma Override Harnesses in ''Old World Blues'', and Father Elijah in ''Dead Money'', and can be bought from Knight Torres (provided the appropriate quests have been completed) and the Silver Rush. The Gauss Rifle is the sniper rifle option for characters using energy weapons, with very high damage outclassing even the Hecate II that will cause hilarious overkill on anything short of Deathclaws, though this damage can only be dealt slowly.

The unique variant of the Gauss Rifle, the "YCS/186" (a reference to Your Console Sucks, a Something Awful forum with the ID of 186) is found on a mercenary in a camp east of Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch (unless the trait Wild Wasteland is selected, where it is replaced with aliens and unavailable in normal gameplay). The YCS/186 uses only 4 MFCs per shot, does more damage, and is slightly more accurate than the Gauss Rifle, but is one pound heavier. Make of that what you will.

==Heckler & Koch G3==
An early-pattern [[G3]] (or, more precisely, the R91 Assault Rifle from ''[[Fallout 3]]''), while not a playable weapon in-game, appears on the "Commando" perk icon, as well as the "Aggressive" Companion wheel setting.

Additionally, the "Infiltrator" (a variant of the G3 with a longer magazine, no stock, a black synthetic forearm, and a suppressor) from the ''Fallout 3'' DLC ''The Pitt'' is visible in Mick's special weapon stash, but is also unusable.

=="Chinese Assault Rifle"==
A poster for Freddy Fear's House of Scares (seen in ''[[Fallout 3]]'') can be found in the El Rey Motel, and another can be found in a collapsed office building in the "Lonesome Road" DLC. This poster depicts several children dressed in the company's costumes, one of whom wields a rifle; while highly indistinct, given how the rifle appears to have an AK-style magazine and an [[RPD]]-like handguard, and that this costume is meant to be a Chinese soldier, it is reasonable to assume that it is supposed to represent the "Chinese Assault Rifle" from ''Fallout 3''.

The rifle itself also appears in the game in a non-usable form. During the quest "How Little We Know" the Courier may be tasked with destroying a weapons stockpile using thermite; amid the rubble is the front sight and muzzle of a Chinese Assault Rifle. The rifle's magazines also appear as the pickup model for 5.56mm rounds.

=="Sniper Rifle"==
The fictitious "Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout 3]]'' (based on the also fictitious "DKS-501 Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'') returns. It is a semi-automatic rifle with a 3.5x scope and a five-round detachale magazine holding .308 rounds. It is rather rare, only being purchasable from a handful of merchants, or found in some rather out-of-the-way locations. It has two available modifications - a suppressor to reduce the weapon's report, and "carbon fiber parts", which impressively lower its weight from 8 pounds to 3. As the name implies, the Sniper Rifle is one of the best long-range weapons in the game, suffering only from a slow fire rate and low durability.

There is one unique variant of the Sniper Rifle in the base game, the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle, which is found in a locked gun case in the Sniper's Nest near Cottonwood Cove. It has an extended magazine, a more solid thumbhole stock (rather than the odd partially-completed skeletal thumbhole stock of the standard variant), a slightly shortened barrel (in spite of the noticeably better accuracy), and a desert camouflage paint scheme. According to the game's lore, it was originally issued to the U.S. Armed Forces in the Gobi Desert campaign in China prior to the 2077 nuclear war (although how it then managed to wind up in a sniper's nest in the Mojave isn't particularly clear). Gameplay-wise, it has a lower weight (4.5 pounds), an extended magazine holding 6 rounds, slightly higher damage, a lower AP cost in VATS, a higher fire rate, better durability, better critical damage, and better accurate, with the only downside being the inability to accept mods.

The ''Old World Blues'' DLC added a second unique variant, "Christine's CoS Silencer Rifle". It is found in a decrepit building to the north of Little Yangtze. It has the highest damage of the 3 variants (not to mention the highest damage of any suppressed weapon, and the highest non-crit damage of anything chambering .308), a weight of 5.5 pounds, slightly better durability (though not as good as that of the Gobi rifle), and a critical chance multiplier of 2.5 (compared to the 2 of the other variants), at the cost of a higher AP cost in VATS, and the inability to accept mods (although it already has a suppressor and is only 2.5 pounds heavier than the Sniper Rifle with carbon fiber parts). The weapon was originally owned by Christine Royce of the Circle of Steel (hence the name), a sub-group within the Brotherhood of Steel, and was later left behind while she hunted for Elijah.

==M1903 Springfield==
While it is quite hard to spot, the model of the BB Gun's loader has a logo that features an [[M1903 Springfield]]. The weapon does not make any sort of physical appearance in-game.
[[File:M1903Mark1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mark 1 M1903 Springfield - .30-06]]

=Machine Guns=
=="Light Machine Gun"==
The "Light Machine Gun" consists of the receiver and stock of an [[M249]], and the handguard and barrel assembly from an [[M60]]. It also has some other non-standard features including a shortened stock (presumably to prevent clipping into character models when shouldered), a wooden carry handle, pistol grip and handguard, a differently designed front sight post, and a detachable 90-round magazine as opposed to a belt box. The last can be modified with the "expanded drums" upgrade to hold 200 rounds. The weapon's sights are a somewhat bizarre reversed notch setup. It can be found on a few high-level enemies, in the back of the Deathclaw-infested Quarry Junction, or purchased at a high enough level. Unlike the real M249, the LMG appears to fire from a closed bolt and its charging handle reciprocates when fired. The Light Machine Gun is a powerful weapon for players with a large supply of 5.56mm rounds, giving them a large magazine and a controllable rate of fire to allow them to fulfill their fantasies of being post-apocalyptic [[Rambo]].

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the fictitious, seemingly [[Barrett M82A1]]-inspired "Bozar", which previously appeared in ''Fallout 2'', though it lacks that version's bizarre 15-round burst. While ostensibly the unique variant of the Light Machine Gun, in practice the Bozar has nothing to do with the LMG outside of reusing its animations and being compatible with repairing the former when its condition has deteriorated enough, having a completely different design. The Bozar essentially acts as a fully-automatic long-range rifle, with a 2.43x scope and 30-round magazines. How viable that exactly ''is'' will be up to you.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle*==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] was added in ''Dead Money'', the first DLC for ''New Vegas'', as the "Automatic Rifle". It has a pistol grip and stock that resemble those on the Colt Monitor and European copies. This weapon is chambered in .308 ammunition and as such is the only fully automatic weapon in the game that utilizes this ammo. It can be modified with "upgraded internals" that increase its rate of fire by 10%. Interestingly, the menu icon for the BAR shows the bipod unfolded, whereas it is folded and unusable in the game itself. It is hidden in a number of locations around the Sierra Madre.

Rather bizarrely, it is the least accurate automatic weapon in the game, even worse than the SMGs. This problem is compounded by its small capacity magazines, low fire rate (even when upgraded), high weight at 16lbs (even beating out the LMG which is a pound lighter), and poor durability. Its only redeeming quality is its damage - the highest of any automatic weapon.

Also of note is the smaller magazine due to the rifle's in-game chambering of .308 Winchester and not the longer .30-06.]]

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870 Wingmaster==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 Wingmaster]] (with the magazine tube cap of a Winchester) appears as the "Hunting Shotgun". It can be upgraded with a choke to reduce spread and a "long tube" to increase ammunition capacity from 5 rounds to 8. The Hunting Shotgun is the most accurate non-unique 12 gauge shotgun in the game, allowing for greater accuracy and precision at the cost of a lower fire rate and magazine capacity compared to the Riot Shotgun, making it ideal for Magnum and Slug shells.

The unique version, "Dinner Bell", has synthetic camo furniture and is the most accurate shotgun in the game. Dinner Bell is a reward for the quest "Bleed Me Dry", given by Red Lucy, who runs The Thorn. The most accurate shotgun tip is not a joke, the Dinner Bell is a VERY accurate shotgun that makes very effective use of almost any custom ammo you can stuff in it. Slugs, Coin Shot, Magnum shells, you name it and this gun will pattern that blast directly into whatever you need dead.

==Over-and-Under Shotgun==
A 20 gauge over/under double-barrel shotgun called the "Caravan Shotgun" appears in game. Visually, it bears resemblance to a Winchester Model 101 and Otto Seelig brand Over/Unders. The "Caravan Shotgun" is commonly found on, fittingly, Crimson Caravan guards. The Caravan Shotgun is a decent weapon, being an almost direct upgrade over the Single Shotgun with moderately less accuracy at a cost of still being capped by the 20 gauge chambering.

Players who pre-ordered the 'Caravan Pack' version of ''New Vegas'' (or purchased the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC) acquired a "Sturdy Caravan Shotgun" at the start of the game. There is little difference visually aside from colors; gameplay-wise it has increased damage and durability at the cost of accuracy.

[[File:Fnvcaravan-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The model for the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun.]]

=="Riot Shotgun"==
The "Riot Shotgun" is a fictitious semi-automatic shotgun (bearing some very loose similarites to the [[Hawk shotgun series#Hawk Semi-Auto|Hawk Semi-Auto]]) chambered for 12 gauge rounds fed from a 12-round drum magazine. It is a rare find in the Mojave, usually being found on specific troops at Hoover Dam, or on Gomorrah Bank Guards. It may also be wielded by enemies during the ''Honest Hearts'' and ''Lonesome Road'' DLCs if the player's level is high enough.

The Riot Shotgun is far and away the fastest-firing shotguns in the game allowing you to send shells as fast as you think you need to. It's also one of the heaviest in the game, with a middling spread and damage alongside eating up a lot of 12 gauge ammo if you're not careful. That being said, the Riot Shotgun is a great candidate to pair with the "And Stay Back" perk which grants each fired pellet a chance to knock down targets.

==Winchester 1887==
A sawn-off [[Winchester Model 1887]] appears as the "Lever-action Shotgun". Unlike the real weapon, it is chambered for 20 gauge shells. It is not the most common weapon in the game, being found on a few characters and purchasable from the Gun Runners.

It is generally the best 20 gauge shotgun, being given a proper magazine and a fast rate of fire to capitalize on sending as much 20 gauge as fast as possible. That being said the middling returns on damage you get with 20 gauge and the overall bad ability for 20 gauge to kill anything you're aiming at once armor is involved makes this less ideal long-term. That and a sluggish reload.

==New England Pardner==
The [[New England Firearms Pardner]] appears in the game as the "Single Shotgun". The Single Shotgun is used by members of the Powder Gangers and lower level enemies. One such shotgun can be found in one of the houses in Goodsprings. The Single Shotgun is a good starter shotgun, with very good accuracy and the highest per-shot damage of any 20 gauge shotgun in the game at a cost of its lack of real damage to anything wearing armor, and it being outclassed by any other shotgun in almost every other respect.

Occasionally, the Courier will encounter Single Shotguns rigged up as tripwire-based traps, commonly set at doorways, replacing the fictional "Combat Shotgun" from ''Fallout 3''. Bizarrely, when a rigged shotgun is disarmed, it will remove the shotgun from the trap (unlike other traps, this can be done even after the trap has been activated - provided, that is, that the player character has a Repair skill of at least 45), and will grant the Courier a 20 gauge shell; it will not, however, give them the shotgun itself, despite removing it from the trap, which begs the question of where it actually goes when this happens. Additionally, if a trap was disarmed after it has been triggered, it will still yield one full shell, instead of an empty hull (which is also an item in the game).

Note the presence of what appears to be an electric motor powered by a microfusion cell (an energy weapon ammo type) set up to spool up a wire to pull the trigger, begging the question why the tripwire activates this motor rather than pulling the trigger itself. The weapon also seems to be held in place with aluminum foil.]]

==Sawn-Off Side-By-Side Shotgun==
The [[Sawn-off double barreled shotgun|sawn-off side-by-side shotgun]] from ''Fallout 3'' returns, again as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun". It has mostly the same model as that game, but has a completely different texture (with an overall cleaner look, different screw placement, and a different pistol grip) and only has one trigger, which somehow fires both barrels at the same time. As it is also held one-handed, this would likely be extremely painful for the user. This does mean it is effectively a single-shot weapon gameplay-wise, but the large amount of pellets fired and its 12 gauge chambering mean that it is the highest-damage shotgun (and the second highest damage of any weapon) in the game. As expected of a sawn-off shotgun the spread is extreme, and it is also the least durable shotgun. Rounding out this odd package, it can be brought into weapon-free areas if the player character has a Sneak skill of 50 or above. The Sawed-off is quite common in the Mojave, being carried by Ralph of Mick and Ralph's, some Fiends, Jessup, Omerta "button men", and bartenders at The Tops and Gomorrah, and being purchasable from Mick of Mick and Ralph's, and the Vendortron. Notably, they can also be obtained from Heck Gunderson during "Beyond the Beef", if the player chooses to tell him where his son is, and from Cachino during "How Little We Know" (along with thirty 12 gauge Magnum shells) if the player chooses to help him deal with Big Sal and Nero.

A unique variant with a darker, more worn look called the "Big Boomer" is carried by Old Lady Gibson, and can only be acquired by either stealing it from or killing her. Compared to the standard Sawed-Off, it is nearly a direct upgrade, with higher damage, a tighter spread, higher rate of fire, and a lower AP cost in VATS, with the only downside being the inability to carry it into weapons-free areas (regardless of the player's Sneak skill).

=Launchers=
==M79 Grenade Launcher==
The [[M79 Grenade Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Rifle". It can be found in several locations and is sold by many different vendors. It can be upgraded with a "long barrel" to increase grenade velocity and range. Because the launcher reuses the 20 gauge Pardner's reload animation, its user will cock a non-existent external hammer. The M79 is baby's first explosive weapon, with middling damage and a fast rate of fire but inferior to later grenade launchers. Don't knock it though, it's got a key fun trick. Knocking over enemies.

The M79 has the distinction of having the highest number of unique variants of any weapon in the game. The first is "Thump-Thump" found in the Nellis Array. It comes with the long barrel modification built-in and has a lighter-colored stock with a drawing of an angry beaver holding a rifle on it. In addition to having the effects of the long barrel modification built-in, Thump-Thump also fires faster, is more durable, and weighs slightly less. All for the low cost of finding it amongst the ants of the Array.

If the player preordered a version of the game that came with the "Mercenary Pack" or bought the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, they acquire the "Mercenary's Grenade Rifle" at the start of the game. It is almost identical to the base Grenade Rifle, only with a slightly darker color, slightly less weight, and not requiring skill in Explosives to use.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "Red Victory Grenade Rifle", with a stock painted to resemble the Chinese flag, and the "Great Bear Grenade Rifle", which has a blue grip and forend and a white Army star on the grip. The Red Victory can only be acquired if the player chooses to nuke the Legion at the end of the DLC, and the Great Bear only if the player chooses to nuke the NCR. The Red Victory is faster firing, weighs less, and is more durable compared to the base Grenade Rifle. The Great Bear is slightly heavier than the Red Victory (but still lighter than the base Grenade Rifle), but is much more durable and does more damage than the base Grenade Rifle.

==China Lake Launcher==
The [[China Lake Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Launcher". Unlike the real weapon, it has a 4-round tube magazine (as opposed to the real China Lake's 3-round tube magazine) and a much lower stock, presumably so that it can reuse animations from the Remington 870. Most Boomers carry it, along with one of the caravan guards at the start of the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC, and it can also be found in a few locations or purchased from several traders.

Consistent with ''New Vegas'''s design philosophy of making less powerful weapons still valuable after the player has found an "upgrade", while it initially appears to be an upgrade in every way over the Grenade Rifle, the Grenade Launcher is a fiddly beast with a less consistent damage output than the Grenade Rifle, due to the longer reloads. Additionally unlike the Grenade Rifle, the Launcher has no extended barrel upgrade to increase its range, which limits its potential for long range bombardment without extensive practice in learning its projectile arc.

A modified version named the "Holorifle" appears in the ''Dead Money'' DLC, with a futuristic short-range scope and various electronic pieces to convert the weapon to a microfusion cell-based energy weapon, firing some kind of odd hard light projectiles, and loading microfusion cells into the tube magazine and ejecting them after firing. It is given to the player once they arrive at the Sierra Madre. The Holorifle is decent against the enemies that stalk the Madre, though microfusion cells are hard to find there.

[[File:FNV Holorifle Side.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The right side of the Holorifle, as seen shortly after firing.]]

=="Grenade Machinegun"==
The "Grenade Machinegun" is a fictitious large fully-automatic grenade launcer firing 25mm grenades. It is comparable to the game's miniguns and flamethrowers in size and layout, also having an ammo storage carreid on the user's back. The gun carries a large amount of electronics, complete with a monitor at the top that displays Bash script; as the "high-speed kit" modification which improves the rate of fire changes the colors of the electronics on the side, they appear to assist in feeding the weapon. The large muzzle brake, drum magazine, side-mounted handle and use of small-caliber grenades bears some resemblance to the [[Norinco QLZ-87]] automatic grenade launcher, though unlike the QL, the barrel is reciprocating, implying recoil operation instead of the gas operation of the QLZ. Instead of the drum being replaced when reloading, the side of the drum opens up and the Courier inserts in a disc-shaped rack of grenades, which is presumably kept in the ammo storage on their back. The Grenade Machinegun is a fairly powerful late game explosive weapon in comparison to the Missile Launcher or Fatman, a high damage but relatively controllable death machine capped by the rarity of 25mm ammo in the wastes.

The unique variant, "Mercy", can be found in Dead Wind Cavern. Apparently a relic from before the nukes fell, it has "Hei Gui Bye Bye" spraypainted on its body (Hei Gui is the name of a group of Chinese commandos in the game) and is in an extremely rusty state, though it still has two-and-a-half times the durability of a standard grenade machinegun. It also rocks a rechambering to 40mm, drastically improving its damage and power at a cost of reduced ammo capacity and making it harder to keep this stocked up when playing on Hardcore due to how heavy 40mm ammo is.

=="25mm Grenade APW"*==
The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "25mm Grenade APW" (Anti-Personnel Weapon), a fictitious semi-automatic grenade launcher firing 25mm grenades from a six-round detachable box magazine. While fictional, the 25mm Grenade APW bears a very loose resemblance to some semi-auto shotguns, like the [[Remington 1100]]. Being a ''GRA'' weapon, it is only available from traders, being sold by the Gun Runners, the Boomers, Alexander at the 188 Trading Post, among others.

It serves as an interesting midway in the explosives category, doing slightly less damage than the 40mm launchers and not providing as much overall firepower as the Grenade Machinegun, but is lighter and more portable than either, while still retaining great lethality. The APW has three available modifications: "Upgraded Internals" which increases fire rate by 25%; a longer barrel, which doubles projectile velocity and range; and an 8-round extended magazine (called an "expanded drum", despite not actually being a drum magazine).

=Grenades & Explosives=
==M84 Stun Grenade*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the [[M84 stun grenade]] as the "Flash Bang". Unlike regular grenades, it deals fatigue damage, reduces enemy weapon skills, and has a chance to frenzy Tunnelers.

Prior to its addition in ''Lonesome Road'', the M84 appeared as an unused weapon in the base game named the "Stun Grenade". This version had circular holes in the body and a differently-shaped fuse and lever.
[[File:M84-Flash-Bang-Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M84 stun grenade]]
[[File:FNV Flashbang.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game M84 model. Note the square holes and the lowered pin so the game can reuse the normal grenade animation.]]
[[Image:FNV Stun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier finds a M84 stun grenade in some rubble.]]

=="Frag Grenade"==
The fictional "Frag Grenades" returning from ''Fallout 3'' are heavily based on the Danish [[M23 Haanbombe]]. In-game, they can be found in boxes and crates in certain locations, looted from Recruit Legionaries, and bought from some merchants (including the Vendortron). The Frag Grenade is also an improved holdout weapon, meaning that any Courier with a Sneak skill of 50 or higher can take them into weapons-free zones, though their quality as a stealth weapon is obviously highly dubious.

Occasionally, the Courier will run into traps consisting of three frag grenades hanging from a ceiling, a setup that the game rather affectionately calls a "Grenade Bouquet". If the Courier has an Explosives skill of 30 or more, then they can retrieve these grenades for later use.

If the player has the Wild Wasteland trait, a box in the basement of Camp Searchlight's church that normally contains mini-nukes will instead contain three unique "Holy Frag Grenades", identical to the regular grenades except for a white cross painted onto the body. Compared to the standard frag grenade, the Holy Frag Grenade has a far larger and more damaging explosion, and leaves radiation in its wake, much like a mini-nuke. The Holy Frag Grenades as a whole, as well as the text found near to them on a box, are a reference to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''.

[[File:FNV Grenade Bouquet.jpg|thumb|none|400px|A "bouquet" of frag grenades. Note that they all seem to lack pins, which would make sense as they detonate after being triggered and dropped. This does not, however, explain where the pins come from when the Courier takes these grenades for their own personal use. Perhaps the Explosives skill requirement to disarm a rather rudimentary trap gives the Courier the resources to fashion new pins.]]

[[File:FNV Holy Frag Grenade Box.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The box that the Holy Hand Grenades are found in.]]

==AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade==
The game's "Incendiary Grenade", while somewhat generic, seems to be an [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]] with a black-and-orange coloration. Its markings claim it is an "AN-2051 INCENDIARY GRENADE", as well as a "MODEL 0531". The incendiary grenade can be found in several locations, though it isn't as widespread as the Frag Grenade. Like other grenades, the Incendiary Grenade is an improved holdout weapon.

[[File:FNV Incendiary Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game model for the incendiary grenade.]]

==M112 C4 Demolition Charge==
The in-game C4 charges are composed of 4 US-issue M112 C4 charges held together with tape. In-game, they are quite powerful, and can be found in several locations, albeit in small numbers. While the player requires a detonator to set them off normally, one is not absolutely necessary, as the in-game C4 can erroneously be detonated by gunfire, something which does not happen with actual C4.
[[File:M112.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M112 C4 charge]]
[[File:FNV C4.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The in-game model for the C4 charge. The M112 charges are somewhat shorter and wider than they are in reality; however, while not entirely visible, the first 2 lines of text are spot-on (the 3rd line has vanished, however).]]
[[File:FNV C4 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier uses a detonator to set off several C4 charges, with spectacular results.]]

==TM-46 Anti-Tank Mine==
The "Frag Mine", a recoloured and shrunken [[TM-46 anti-tank mine]], returns from the previous game. It functions more or less the same as it did in ''Fallout 3'', producing a small explosion after beeping for a few seconds when a target gets close enough, the duration and proximity for detection depending on the Courier's Explosives skill. Mines planted as traps can be found in a variety of locations, sometimes hidden under corpses or other objects.

In ''Dead Money'', another variant of the TM-46 appears; it is known as the "Demolition Charge", and must be bought from Sierra Madre vending machines for 75 chips each after the appropriate holotape is found. Compared to the more common Frag Mine, Demo Charges feature a negligibly higher amount of damage and no Explosives skill requirement, but are also three times as heavy, weighing 1.5 pounds instead of 0.5. It also has a different skin, sporting a yellower body with diagonal black stripes along the sides and a partially-obscured radiation symbol on top (though the charge does not afflict any radiation damage).
[[File:Tm-46.jpg|thumb|none|450px|TM-46 anti-tank mine]]

=Other=
==Fictional AA Gun==
A fictional type of anti-aircraft gun, seemingly based on the [[80 cm Kanone (E)|''Schwerer Gustav'' 80cm railway gun]] and heavily scaled down, is seen in pre-war emplacements on Hoover Dam. Additionally, the fixed artillery pieces found at the X-7a site at Big MT in ''Old World Blues'', which can be used to fire a Saturnite round at the X-7b site, seem to be a variant of the AA gun, being constructed of some of the same parts.

[[File:FNV Fixed Artillery Big MT.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artillery pieces, as seen at the X-7a "Left Field" artillery launch site.]]

=="Flamer"==
The fictitious "Flamer" flamethrower returns from ''Fallout 3''. Due to the Big Guns skill no longer existing, it is classed as an Energy Weapon. Its model is identical to the ''Fallout 3'' version, and so again seems to be based on the [[M9 Flamethrower|M9A1-7 Flamethrower]], with a backpack similar to that of the [[M2 Flamethrower]]. In-game, it is found in a few locations, including two of The Strip's casinos (the Gomorrah and the Ultra Luxe), in the Silver Rush, on the Fiend leader Cook-Cook, in Vaults 3 and 22, and on the Marked Man Blister in Lonesome Road. The Flamer has one modification - "Expanded Tanks", which double its ammunition capacity. Low damage, high rate of ''fire'' and usually defeating armor, if you can take the brunt of getting shot while using it, it's a messy but fun main arm for Energy Weapon builds.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant of the Flamer to the game, the "Cleansing Flame". Compared to the standard Flamer, it weighs more (22 pounds instead of 15), costs slightly more AP to use in VATS, does slightly less base damage, has a lower crit chance, and has a higher spread, but is more durable, holds 100 units of fuel (higher than the Flamer's base capacity, but lower than the Flamer with expanded tanks), and has a slightly longer after-burn effect that increases in both damage and duration with the user's Energy Weapons skill. Visually, it has 2 moderately-sized fuel tanks and 1 smaller pressure tank (rather than the 2 small fuel tanks and one large pressure tank of the standard version), a narrower nozzle, three orange fuel lines on the wand (rather than the single black one of the normal Flamer), and a distinctive blue flame effect.

==M101 Howitzer==
Somewhat oversized M101 Howitzers appear in a few locations in the game, notably at Nellis AFB and The Fort. The one at the Fort is broken, and the Legion sidequest "I Hear You Knocking" has the player go to Nellis AFB to retrieve a replacement firing mechanism.

[[File:FNV Howitzer Legion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Legion's broken howitzer, on Fortification Hill.]]

==Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun==
The [[Red Ryder]] returns from ''Fallout 3'', again as the "BB Gun". Markings on the loader claim it to be a "Raider BB Rifle". It is the weakest ranged weapon in the game - which makes sense, it being a toy rather than an actual weapon. It has a capacity of 100 BBs instead of the real gun's 650, and its accuracy is somewhat poor. It can be found in a variety of locations, including (but not limited to): toy boxes, the Nellis schoolhouse, a shack at the top of Coyote Mines, Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals, a house in Nipton, the Great Khan armorer (sometimes), and Coach's office in ''Old World Blues''. Amusingly enough, despite being an airgun firing BBs, it it still considered a firearm by the game, and is thus capable of certain odd things, such as igniting flammable vapors with its nonexistent muzzle blast.

The unique variant of the weapon, the "Abilene Kid LE BB Gun", is visually identical to the base version visually except for a marking on the stock denoting it as part of a 200-strong limited edition. It is nearly identical statistics-wise to the standard BB Gun, save for better durability, a slightly higher crit chance (1.5 instead of 1), and secretly boasts an extremely high critical damage boost, bumping it from a base damage of 4 to a whopping 70 on a critical hit (compared to the standard variant's critical damage of 6.2 and higher than any weapon in the game except for the Brush Gun, Medicine Stick, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Paciencia and Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.); furthermore, with the correct perks, this can be raised all the way to 157. The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun can be found in Fields' Shack, or in Jimmy's Well if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait (which is located directly in front of Fields' Shack).

'''Operation: Harsh Doorstop''' is a free-to-play, tactical, first person shooter made as sort of tribute to games similar to the likes of ''[[Insurgency]]'', ''[[Rising Storm 2: Vietnam]]'', and ''[[Project Reality]]''. It is also being advertised as a type of sandbox game for the modding community, everything can be configured to the user's desire in the SDK. The current released build features multiple factions of various time periods, such as the Imperial German Army, North Vietnamese Army, and Middle Eastern Insurgents.

__TOC__ 

=Pistols=

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911]] appears as a primary weapon for the Squad Leaders for the (anachronistic for the era) WWI US Army faction, and as sidearm for the WWII and Vietnam era US forces.

==Walther P38==
The [[Walther P38]] incorrectly appears under the nomenclature of "Luger P38" and is the sole weapon for the Squad Leader kit of the Imperial German Army faction, a more accurate choice would have been an actual [[Luger P08]], or a [[Mauser C96]]. However, it is more accurately depicted as the sidearm for the Wehrmacht.

==Beretta M9==
Unlike the entry above, the [[Beretta M9]] correctly appears as the sidearm to the Gulf War era US Army faction. Available only to Squad Leader and Marksman kits.

==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov]] appears as the sidearm available to the NVA, Russian military, and Insurgent factions. Much like the M9, it's also exclusive to Squad Lead and Marksman kits.

==Glock 19 Gen 5==
A [[Glock 19]] appears exclusively as a sidearm for the PMC faction at the date of this writing. Appropriately named "Triarc" in game, due to it sporting an aftermarket Triarc slide. For obvious reasons, it lacks animations as far as engaging the safety or cocking the hammer is concerned.

=Rifles & Carbines=

===M16A2===
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is correctly depicted as the standard issue rifle for the Gulf War US forces. A grenadier variant is also available. As per usual, it is capable of semi auto and three-round burst.

==AK-74==
An [[AK-74]] is available as the main rifle to the Russian military and Insurgent factions. Oddly enough, it is a standard AK-74 that is fitted with an AK-74M's handguard, and is fitted with a fixed black synthetic stock much like the Bulgarian produced variant.

__TOC__ 

=Pistols=

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911]] appears as a primary weapon for the Squad Leaders for the (anachronistic for the era) WWI US Army faction, and as sidearm for the WWII and Vietnam era US forces.

[[File:COLTM1911 1913.jpg|350px|thumb|none|Original Colt M1911 - .45 ACP]]

[[File:OHD 1911 Safety.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Whenever the player character unequips any sidearm, the character will always engage the safety, and also disengage it every time it is re-equipped.]]

==Walther P38==
The [[Walther P38]] incorrectly appears under the nomenclature of "Luger P38" and is the sole weapon for the Squad Leader kit of the Imperial German Army faction, a more accurate choice would have been an actual [[Luger P08]], or a [[Mauser C96]]. However, it is more accurately depicted as the sidearm for the Wehrmacht.

[[File:OHD P38Safety.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The officer flips the safety on his anachronistic sidearm.]]

==Beretta M9==
Unlike the entry above, the [[Beretta M9]] correctly appears as the sidearm to the Gulf War era US Army faction. Available only to Squad Leader and Marksman kits.
[[File:M9-pistolet.jpg|350px|thumb|none|Beretta M9 - 9x19mm]]

[[File:OHD M9Safety.jpg|600px|thumb|none|...only to engage the safety and decocker while unequipping it.]]

==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov]] appears as the sidearm available to the NVA, Russian military, and Insurgent factions. Much like the M9, it's also exclusive to Squad Lead and Marksman kits.

==Glock 19 Gen 5==
A [[Glock 19]] appears exclusively as a sidearm for the PMC faction at the date of this writing. Appropriately named "Triarc" in game, due to it sporting an aftermarket Triarc slide. For obvious reasons, it lacks animations as far as engaging the safety or cocking the hammer is concerned.

=Rifles & Carbines=

===M16A2===
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is correctly depicted as the standard issue rifle for the Gulf War US forces. A grenadier variant is also available. As per usual, it is capable of semi auto and three-round burst.
[[File:M16A2.jpg||thumb|none|350px|M16A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

==AK-74==
An [[AK-74]] is available as the main rifle to the Russian military and Insurgent factions. Oddly enough, it is a standard AK-74 that is fitted with an AK-74M's handguard, and is fitted with a fixed black synthetic stock much like the Bulgarian produced variant.

__TOC__ 

=Pistols=

==M1911A1==
An [[M1911]] appears as a primary weapon for the Squad Leaders for the (anachronistic for the era) WWI US Army faction, and as sidearm for the WWII and Vietnam era US forces.

[[File:OHD 1911 Safety.jpg|600px|thumb|none|Whenever the player character unequips any sidearm, the character will always engage the safety, and also disengage it every time it is re-equipped.]]

==Walther P38==
The [[Walther P38]] incorrectly appears under the nomenclature of "Luger P38" and is the sole weapon for the Squad Leader kit of the Imperial German Army faction, a more accurate choice would have been an actual [[Luger P08]], or a [[Mauser C96]]. However, it is more accurately depicted as the sidearm for the Wehrmacht.

[[File:OHD P38Safety.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The officer flips the safety on his anachronistic sidearm.]]

==Beretta M9==
Unlike the entry above, the [[Beretta M9]] correctly appears as the sidearm to the Gulf War era US Army faction. Available only to Squad Leader and Marksman kits.
[[File:M9-pistolet.jpg|350px|thumb|none|Beretta M9 - 9x19mm]]

==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov]] appears as the sidearm available to the NVA, Russian military, and Insurgent factions. Much like the M9, it's also exclusive to Squad Lead and Marksman kits.

==Glock 19 Gen 5==
A [[Glock 19]] appears exclusively as a sidearm for the PMC faction at the date of this writing. Appropriately named "Triarc" in game, due to it sporting an aftermarket Triarc slide. For obvious reasons, it lacks animations as far as engaging the safety or cocking the hammer is concerned.

=Rifles & Carbines=

===M16A2===
The [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2]] is correctly depicted as the standard issue rifle for the Gulf War US forces. A grenadier variant is also available. As per usual, it is capable of semi auto and three-round burst.
[[File:M16A2.jpg||thumb|none|350px|M16A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

==AK-74==
An [[AK-74]] is available as the main rifle to the Russian military and Insurgent factions. Oddly enough, it is a standard AK-74 that is fitted with an AK-74M's handguard, and is fitted with a fixed black synthetic stock much like the Bulgarian produced variant.

The first game in the hugely successful ''[[Battlefield]]'' series, '''''Battlefield: 1942''''' was released in 2002 for the PC, with two expansion packs (''The Road to Rome'' and ''Secret Weapons of WWII'') following later.

The base game follows the main theaters of World War II, focusing primarily on the Americans, British, and Soviet forces (patches later added a mission for Canada as well) facing off against the Axis powers, Germany and Japan. The first DLC, ''Road to Rome'' focuses heavily on the Italian campaign and introduces the forces of the Free French and Fascist Italy. ''Secret Weapons of World War II'' was the final expansion, and is a more fictionalized take on the war, with the British and Americans facing off against Nazi Germany, with both sides using increasingly more outlandish weapons. The game and both DLCs, along with ''Battlefield Vietnam: Redux'' were later made available in a box set, titled ''Battlefield Anthology.''

'''The following weapons can be seen in ''Battlefield: 1942'' and its two expansions:'''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
Weapons in ''Battlefield: 1942'' are class-locked and faction-locked. The equipment for a class is known as a kit, and there is no way to change individual weapons in the kit. A kit is dropped upon death, and other players can pick up their kit. There are five classes in total:

*Assault: Uses LMGs and automatic rifles.
*Engineer: Uses battle rifles (mostly bolt-action, some semi automatic rifles).
*Anti-Tank: Uses an anti-tank launcher.
*Medic: Uses submachine guns.
*Scout: Uses sniper rifles (all bolt action, and all come with scopes).

Between the factions, many of the weapons are also statistically identical. Some weapons for some reason feature left-handed bolts.

Being a 2002 video game, there is only one reload animation per weapon, and no tracking of chambered rounds like later ''Battlefield'' games.

=Handguns=
Unlike many modern first person shooters, ''Battlefield'' treats handguns as a part of a player's "kit" and therefore switching to another faction's kit (i.e., playing as the Red Army, killing a German sniper, and stealing his rifle) will result in changing handguns. This is in practice purely cosmetic, as both sidearms are statistically identical, having the same damage, same 8-round capacity (technically incorrect for the M1911), same rate of fire, same accuracy, and even the same animations (including the always-double action only hammer animation error).

This animation shows the weapon immediately locking back at the start of the reload (the weapon's slide is always forwards when idle), the player character then replacing the magazines, the slide popping back in upon loading in the magazine, and ending with the player character giving the slide a rack.

==Walther P38==
The [[Walther P38]] appears in the game with black grips and a silver finish. It is the standard pistol for all Axis forces, including the German, Italian, and Japanese forces, despite Japan ''never'' issuing it to their forces. The main sidearms for the Italians and Japanese were the [[Beretta M1935]] and [[Nambu Type 14]] respectively.

[[File:P38Black.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Walther P38 WWII dated with black grips - 9x19mm]]

[[File:BF1942 Walther P38 Reload 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Not to be left out, an Italian anti-tank soldier begins the reload cycle for ''his'' Walther. Note that his slide has partially locked back, just like on the Colt. Almost as if they use the same animations...]]
[[File:BF1942 Walther P38 Reload 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Finishing the reload animation makes him look far too happy to be on a modern battlefield.]]

==M1911==
The [[M1911]] (referred as the "Colt") is the standard sidearm for all Allied forces. The pistol is the standard handgun of all American military forces, but is also seen in the hands of Commonwealth, Soviet, and Free French soldiers as well. While it's possible in the case of the Canadians and French, the British should be using a [[Webley revolver]] or [[Browning Hi-Power]] (when playing as the SAS) and the Soviets should be using the [[Tokarev TT-33]]. The French could also use the [[MAB Model D]] if they're feeling more patriotic.

[[File:BF 1942 Colt 1911 Reload Frame 1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|An SAS Commando begins the process of reloading his 1911, the slide helpfully locking back for him. It's possible this is accurate to the time, as the SAS ''did'' field a few Colts chambered in .455, although it's likely more a matter of DICE being lazy. The streak to the player's right is from a bazooka, though perspective conspires to make it seem the Colt is firing rockets.]]
[[File:BF 1942 1911 Reload Frame 2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A US Army Ranger, likely a member of the 101st Airborne, finishes the reload animation for his 1911. He is preparing to rack the slide; he is ''not'' applauding the empty tank before him.]]

=Submachine Guns=
Submachine guns are the mainstay of ''Battlefield'''s Medic Class. SMGs have identical stopping power (which is realistically depicted as identical to the handguns), so the only real difference between them is their capacity. Some of the expansion maps feature suppressed SMGs, for variety's sake.

==SIG M1920==
The [[SIG M1920]], named as its predecessor "MP18" in-game, is the standard weapon for the Japanese and Russian Medic classes. It is identified by its round charging handle. It has an incorrect 32-round capacity, which was that of the later MP28. Like the Sten, the player grips the magazine when holding the gun, which increases the risk of jamming the weapon.

The SIG M1920 was actually used by Japan under the designation Type Be (short for "Bergmann"). The in-game model even features the Japanese Type Be's bayonet lug under the barrel, indicating that it was modeled after a Japanese gun. The use of the weapon by the Soviets is much more unrealistic (it would make much more sense for them to be using the [[PPSh-41]]), but the Soviet Union did use a small amount of captured MP18s during WWII.

[[Image:BF1942_mp18_3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While angry, he simply tugs the bolt and makes do with what the Empire could give him.]]

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is the standard weapon for the German and Italian Medic classes. While the Italians used MP40s to some extent, their main submachine gun was the [[Beretta Model 38]].
[[Image:MP40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MP40 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:BF1942 MP.40 Round Chambered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|before chambering a round in the weapon. Since the MP.40 fires from an open bolt, this shouldn't be necessary or even possible.]]

==Sten MK.II==
The [[Sten Mk II|Sten Mk.II Submachine Gun]] (called the Sten SMG) serves as an alternative for the British and as the standard for the Free French Forces Medic class in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome'' and is statistically identical to the MP 40. A suppressed version, the [[Sten Mk IIS|Sten Mk.IIS]] (Called simply the Sten) is also available in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII'' for the SAS Medic class and is slightly more accurate than its unsilenced counterparts.

[[Image:BF 1942 Aiming the Suppressed STEN.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The same soldier "aims" his Sten, giving us a better look at the model, including its apparently empty magazine.]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
The [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|M1A1 Thompson Submachine Gun]] is the standard weapon for the American, British, and Canadian Medic classes. While the latter two factions made use of Thompsons during the early part of the war, they later made much more use of the Sten after it was developed although Thompsons would persist in service with both until the end of the war.

=Shotguns=
==Browning Automatic 5==
Introduced in the expansion pack ''Secret Weapons of WWII,'' the [[Browning Auto-5|Browning Automatic 5]] is issued to the SAS Engineer class and is simply called "shotgun." It is the first shotgun in the series, and is extremely lethal in close quarters. Due to the game not having the ability to keep track of individual shells, the A-5 has an extremely odd reload, wherein the player awkwardly tilts the weapon, apparently inserts a few shells, then pulls the charging lever; ammo is represented in full magazines, as it is for all other guns, and reloading from a non-empty magazine will result in lost shells.

The A5 is the most powerful close quarters weapon in the game, and is surprisingly deadly at range as well, often lethal from the chest up even at medium range.

Somehow, this completely empties the weapon (and destroys any unfired shells) and refills it, all in the space of about three seconds, with no noise.]]

= Rifles=
There are several kinds of rifles in ''Battlefield 1942''. Bolt-action rifles are only available to two classes: the Scout (who function as snipers) and the Engineer. The differences between the two is that Scout rifles (called Sniper Rifles in-game) are issued a scope, have a higher velocity of 2000 meters per second compared to the standard 1000 m/s for primary weapons and are more accurate on the move; while Engineer rifles (labeled as Standard Issue Rifles in-game) have more ammo and a slightly higher rate of fire. Semi-Auto Rifles (again, labeled as Standard Issue Rifles) have a higher rate of fire compared to their bolt action rifles counterpart; but are slightly less accurate in general. Some factions' Assault classes use automatic rifles (Labeled as Assault Rifles in-game) instead of light machine guns.

Like the pistols, the Kar98k and Lee-Enfield are statistically identical. Their reload animations are given the off-screen reload treatment.

==Fallschirmjägergewehr 42==
The [[FG 42|Fallschirmjägergewehr 42]] (using its long form name) serves as an alternative to the STG-44 that is given to the German Elite Forces Assault class in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII''.
[[Image:FG421stPattern.jpg|thumb|none|480px|Fallschirmjägergewehr 42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]

[[File:BF1942 FG42 Reload 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Oddly, the last half of the reload has an odd bit where the rifle is held up and the soldier flicks a lever offscreen to release the bolt.]]

==Gewehr 43 w/scope==
The [[Gewehr 43|Gewehr 43 w/ ZF4 scope]] (called Gewehr 43 ZF4 in-game) is the standard weapon for German Elite Forces Sniper class in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII''.
[[Image:Gew 43.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Gewehr 43 with ZF4 Scope - 7.92 x 57mm]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] is the standard weapon for all Axis Engineers, and the scoped variant is the standard weapon for all Axis Scouts. The Italians and Japanese should instead be using their own rifles, the [[Carcano]] and [[Arisaka]] respectively. Like the Auto-5, there is no tracking of individual rounds; ammo is represented in full magazines, as it is for all other guns, and reloading from a non-empty magazine will result in lost rounds.

==Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I]] is the standard weapon for the US Army, British and Russian Engineer classes. A bayonet version is available in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome'' for the Allied Engineer classes. The US Army should be using the [[M1 Garand]] or [[M1 Carbine]] and the Russians should be using a [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin-Nagant]] carbine. Being statistically identical to the Kar98k, it also has a capacity of five rounds, half that of the real rifle. Again, there is no tracking of individual rounds and ammo is represented in full magazines, though here it makes slightly more sense as the Lee-Enfield magazines were detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)==
The scoped [[Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)]] is the standard weapon for all Allied Scouts. This is highly incorrect, as it should only be available to British and Commonwealth soldiers. The American Scouts should instead be armed with scoped [[Springfield M1903]] rifles and the Russian scouts should be armed with scoped [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin-Nagant M91/30]] rifles. Like its unscoped counterpart, it is statistically identical to the scoped Kar98k, and thus has a five-round capacity.

[[Image:BF 1942 Lee-Enfield Bolt Animation.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An SAS sniper, someone who should actually carry this rifle, works the bolt, while hunting the man who told him it can only hold five rounds at a time.]]

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added in patch 1.5 as the main battle rifle for the USMC Engineer class; this was the update that added the USMC, as previously the Pacific maps used the US Army. In real life the USMC didn't actually receive it until every order for the rifle in the US Army was fulfilled. It would make more sense for them to be using the [[Springfield M1903]] in many of the early WWII era maps.

[[Image:BF1942_garand_1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American engineer stands on guard duty at Wake Island with his trusty M1 Garand.]]
[[Image:BF1942_garand_2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading is only possible after emptying the M1 Garand, which is as expected accompanied with the distinctive ping on the final shot. The reload animation starts with the soldier manually pulling back the bolt (which should have locked back after ejecting the clip) then shoving in a new en bloc clip into their M1.]]
[[Image:BF1942_garand_3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then forcefully slams the mirrored bolt home. While the "sticky bolt" is not what the M1 Garand is supposed to do, it is realistically possible if the weapon is poorly maintained, has a weak main spring or slightly tight clips.]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the primary weapon for the Assault classes of the Wehrmacht, and to a more anachronistic extent, the Afrika Korps and even the IJN of all forces (prior to the Type 99 replacing it in patch 1.4).
[[Image:Sturmgewehr 44.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sturmgewehr 44 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]

[[Image:BF1942_stg3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Gives the viewers at home a dramatic yank of the invisible charging handle.]]

==Type 5==
The extremely rare [[Type 5]], which never saw service, replaced the equally incorrect Karabiner 98k as the Standard Issue Rifle for the Japanese Engineer class in patch 1.5, presumably for balance with the USMC's M1 Garand added in the same update. It has an incorrect detachable magazine; in reality the magazine was integral and was loaded with two 5-round [[Arisaka]] stripper clips. A more plausible choice for the Japanese engineer would be the [[Arisaka#Arisaka_Type_44|Type 44 carbine]].

=Light Machine Guns=
Most "Assault Class" kits feature some form of easily man-portable LMG (called Assault Rifles in-game to the dismay of many). Unlike the rifles and handguns, these weapons for the most part have variable stats in terms of performance.

==Breda Modello 30==
The [[Breda Modello 30]] is the standard weapon for the Italian Assault class in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: The Road to Rome.'' It is incorrectly shown with a detachable magazine in lieu of a stripper clip which gave the already troubled weapon even more reliability issues.
[[Image:800px-Breda_30.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Breda Modello 30 - 6.5x52mm Mannlicher-Carcano]]

[[Image:BF1942 Breda Modello 30 Reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|''Che sera, sera'' he says, loading a new magazine into his LMG in a manner that should not work.]]

==Bren Mk.2==
The [[Bren Mk2]] simply named the "Bren LMG", is the standard weapon for the SAS Assault class in the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII''. The Canadians also made use of Brens during the war, but they were slightly different from the British models.

==Degtyaryov (DP) 28==
The [[Degtyaryov DP Series Machine Gun|Degtyaryov Light Machine Gun (DP)]], titled simply "DP" in-game, was added as the standard weapon for the Russian Assault class in patch 1.4, replacing the BAR.
[[Image:DP-28.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Degtyaryov Light Machine Gun (DP) - 7.62x54mmR]]

==M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[Browning Automatic Rifle|M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle]] under the name of "BAR 1918"; is the standard weapon for the American, British, and Free French Assault classes, as well as the Russians before patch 1.4. The Brits should be using the [[Bren]] as their main LMG and the French could use the [[FM 24/29]] as they considered it superior to the BAR.

[[Image:BF1942 Assault Class Pickup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The American Assault Class pickup model is a very low resolution BAR.]]

==M1941 Johnson Light Machine Gun==
The [[M1941 Johnson machine gun|M1941 Johnson Light Machine Gun]], called simply "Johnson LMG", is the standard weapon for the Canadian Assault class, added along with the Canadians themselves in patch 1.6. It erroneously holds 30 rounds when it should hold 20.
[[File:JOHNSON M1941.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1941 Johnson Light Machine Gun - .30-06 Springfield]]
[[File:BF1942 Johnson Idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Canadian machinegunner holds the M1941 Johnson while the Canadian ensign flies beside him.]]
[[File:BF1942 Johnson Reload.jpg|thumb|none|601px|There are a few bizarre errors with the reload animation.

[[File:BF1942 Johnson Reload 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The second is that the charging handle is relocated to the left, when it's actually on the right.]]

==Type 99 Light Machine Gun==
The [[Type 99 Light Machine Gun]], named simply "Type 99", is the main weapon for the Japanese Assault class, added in patch 1.4 to replace the completely out-of-place [[Sturmgewehr 44]]. It is essentially a reskin of the Bren, but its fire rate sounds faster (which it actually was in real life), and its 30-round magazine holds only 20 as balance against the BAR.
[[image:Type99LMG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Type 99 light machine gun 7.7x58mm Arisaka]]

[[Image:BF1942_type99_3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Then he gives the bolt a good old tug before moving out.]]

=Launchers=

==Gewehrgranatengerät==
The [[Gewehrgranatengerät Rifle Grenade Launcher]] is available for the K98k in the German engineer class with the expansion pack ''Battlefield 1942: Secret Weapons of WWII''.

==Panzerschreck==
The [[Panzerschreck]] is the standard weapon for all Axis Anti-Tank classes. While it's moderately logical for the Germans and Italians to use these weapons in the numbers they do (a better choice would be the Panzerfaust), things take a turn for the surreal when Japanese soldiers wield them ''during the Battle of Wake Island.''
[[Image:Tank h5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Panzerschreck]]
[[Image:Bf1942 Panzerschrek Aim Animation.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Aiming" the Panzerschrek results in the rather odd fact the model's sights are completely lined up due to the changed perspective...due to the game's mechanics, the shell will still not land anywhere near this point.]]

[[Image:Bf1942 Panzerschrek Reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A German soldier, having managed to ''schrek'' an actual panzer, reloads his AT launcher.]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Rocket Launcher "Bazooka"|M1 Bazooka]] is the standard weapon for all Allied Anti-Tank classes. The bazooka is surprisingly accurate at range and is lethal anywhere, making it an oddly effective sniper rifle.
[[Image:Bazookasmithsonian.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1 Bazooka]]
[[Image:BF 1942 Bazooka Idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An American Army Ranger holds an M1 Bazooka during a raid on the Eagle's Nest.]]

=Explosives=

==Mk 2 hand grenade==
The [[Mk 2 hand grenade]] is the standard frag grenade for Allied soldiers.

=Mounted Weapons=

==2cm FlaK 38==

==7.5 cm Pak 40==
[[7.5 cm Pak 40]] AT guns can be used on the "Monte Cassino" map.
[[Image:7,5 cm-Pak 40.jpg|thumb|none|400px|7.5 cm Pak 40 anti-tank gun - 75x714mm R]]

==Browning M2==
A [[Browning M2]] is the mounted weapon for Allied bases and vehicles, ranging from the normal M4A1 Shermans down hilariously to the motorcycle side car that came with Secret Weapons of WWII.
[[Image:BrowningM2HB.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG.]]

==Bofors 40mm==
Several [[Bofors 40mm]] Anti-Aircraft Guns are seen on the battlefield.
[[Image:Bofors 40mm trailer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Bofors 40mm L/60 AA gun in a wheeled trailer mounting - 40x311mmR]]

==MG34==
The [[MG34]] is mounted on German tanks.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] is the Axis's pintle mounted machine gun in the same way the M2 is for the Allies, which does mean both the Germans, Italians and Japanese get these in both stock machine gun mounts as well as adorning the medium tanks of each faction.

[[Image:FalloutNewVegasUltimateEditionCoverPC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition'' (2012). The game and all its DLC was released together as the Ultimate Edition in February 2012.]]

'''''Fallout: New Vegas''''' is the fourth installment in the long-running ''Fallout'' series. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Nevada, roughly four years after (but not influenced by) the events of the previous title, ''[[Fallout 3]]''. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (''[[Alpha Protocol]]'') and published by Bethesda in 2010. The game is available for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. [[Ron Perlman]], [[Danny Trejo]], [[Kris Kristofferson]], and [[Matthew Perry]] can be found among the voice actors of the game.

The game follows the story of Courier 6, who is ambushed while carrying a mysterious package bound for New Vegas at the behest of Mr. House, the reclusive ruler of the city. Shot in the head, Courier 6 survives and soon finds themself wrapped up in the oncoming battle between the New California Republic and a band of slavers from Arizona and Colorado known as Caesar's Legion.

A host of DLC were released for the game, which were then collected into the ''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition''. The first, ''Dead Money'', revolves around a long-planned casino heist in the Sierra Madre, a famous casino locked since the Great War. ''Honest Hearts'' takes place in the post-War Zion National Park and, among other things, adds a new caliber to the game, .45 ACP. ''Old World Blues'' takes place at the scientific research facility Big Mountain or the Big MT. The final regular DLC, ''Lonesome Road'', adds backstory for the main character, Courier 6, as well as taking place in the ruins of various military installations in the towns of Hopeville and Ashton. A fifth pack, ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'', did not add any story content, but instead added a host of weapons to various vendors around the game. The sixth, ''Courier's Stash'', also did not add any new story content, nor technically any new content at all, but instead made the pre-order exclusive item packs available to everyone.

''Fallout: New Vegas'' has a very in-depth ammunition system. The player can reload ammo, and there are many variants of each ammunition type. For a list, see the [[Talk:Fallout: New Vegas|discussion page]]. Director Joshua Sawyer, via his account on the now defunct Formspring (an archive of which can be found [https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/an-archive-of-josh-sawyers-formspring-from-april-2010-through-march-2013-over-1-mb-of-text.128571/ here]) has confirmed several details about the firearms the game's weapons are based on among the many questions he has answered.

(*) indicates that the weapon was added in DLC.

{{VG Title}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
As an interesting note for the three "hammered" handguns (the Hi-Power and the two Colts): upon drawing the weapon, they will have an uncocked hammer. The first trigger pull is therefore technically in double-action mode; afterward, each subsequent shot the entire time the handgun is equipped is in single-action. While this is not correct for any of the three single-action handguns, it's still a nice touch.

==Browning Hi-Power==
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] appears as the "9mm Pistol", made by a fictional "M&A Guns Manufacturers" according to the slide legends. It can be modified with a short-range scope and a 20-round magazine. It weighs 1.5 pounds, lower than the 2.2 of the real thing. It's the most common gun in the game, standard issue to most factions like the NCR and given to the player by Doc Mitchell at the start of the game, unless the player rolled their stats into another skill beyond Guns. The standard Hi-Power is seen in the hands of series mascots Vault Boy and Vault Girl in various perk icons, and is used by Vault Boy on the achievement icon for the quest "You'll Know it When It Happens". It also appears in NCR propaganda posters. The Hi-Power is a very adequate firearm, with mediocre damage and accuracy that benefits from its high capacity (and thus DPS against lightly/unarmored opponents) and how common 9mm ammo is, but still leads to it getting replaced quickly for better sidearms.

A unique version called "Maria", based on the factory-engraved "Renaissance" model with grips painted with Our Lady of Guadalupe, is carried by Benny (voiced by Matthew Perry), which he uses to execute the Courier in the opening FMV. The player can later acquire it from him (either by killing him or pickpocketing it from him, the latter allows the player to complete the "Talk About Owned" challenge by killing Benny with Maria). Besides being fashionable, Maria boasts a higher fire rate, damage per shot and accuracy over the normal 9mm pistol at a cost of not allowing mods to be attached.

==Ruger Vaquero/Colt Single Action Army==
The ".357 Magnum Revolver" appears to blend elements of the [[Colt Single Action Army]], the [[Ruger Vaquero]], and various other SAA replicas. Like the Vaquero, the cylinder can be moved without the hammer being half-cocked, uses a transfer bar instead of a firing pin, and the cylinder can rotate in either direction. However, it shares similarities with the Colt, such as the three pins on the frame, where the Vaquero only has two. The base gun appears to have a 5" barrel, but can be modified with a 7.5" barrel that increases the damage by +3, as well as an engraved "heavy duty" cylinder which increases its maximum condition by +50%. It weighs 2 pounds, which is appropriate for its initial barrel length, but is not affected by the barrel length upgrade. A Single Action Army also appears on the boxart and title screen, with slight differences due to these images being illustrations instead of using the game's 3D model.

The .357 Magnum Revolver is a very common lower tier gun, used by everyone from Powder Gangers to NCR Patrol Rangers and is one of the first revolvers and magnum caliber guns the player will get. Decent damage and accuracy tempered by middling returns on power and a slow reload as you'd expect from a gate loader.

A unique version called "Lucky" can be found in a safe in the Bison Steve casino in Primm, with a club symbol on ivory grips and an engraved black-and-gold finish. "Lucky" is the fastest-firing revolver in the game. It serves as a high-level eater of .357 Magnum ammo, with its fast ROF and increased damage muted only by its 6-round capacity.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', renamed the ".44 Magnum Revolver" as it no longer has a scope by default. The .44 is a relatively common find at higher levels, carried by some Legionaries, Gomorrah lieutenant Cachino, some Fiends, and Old Ben in Freeside. Raul Tejada ([[Danny Trejo]]), former ''vaquero'' and vagrant handyman, carries one as his signature weapon. The .44 Magnum is as powerful as it was in ''Fallout 3'' and can be used more freely now that it lacks the scope. The scope is still available as a modification, plus a "heavy frame" that gives the gun a matte finish and bright S&W rosewood grips. It weighs 3.5 pounds, rounded down from its real counterpart. Incorrectly, the Model 29 uses the Pip-Boy icon for the [[Smith & Wesson Model 2 Double Action]] from ''Fallout 3'', which does not appear in ''New Vegas''.

The unique version of the Model 29 is known as the "Mysterious Magnum" and features a nickel-plated finish with engravings, a mother of pearl grip, and a mysterious tune that plays whenever the pistol is drawn or holstered. The Mysterious Magnum is carried by the Lonesome Drifter, who can be found by a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard near the El Dorado Dry Lake, and can be acquired from him during the quest "Talent Pool". The Mysterious Magnum has a faster fire rate, better accuracy, increased critical hit damage but a lower durability stat, but is still a very powerful and frankly stylish high level sidearm. A version of the Mysterious Magnum with extremely buffed damage is also used by the Mysterious Stranger. The Mysterious Magnum appears to have a blocked barrel (due to the bore on the default .44 Magnum being a texture) which can be seen when reloading it.

=="12.7mm Pistol"==
The "12.7mm Pistol" is a fictitious pistol chambered for the also fictitious 12.7mm round (the in-universe equivalent to .50 AE or .50 Beowulf). It is based on the "SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'', though the magazine is inserted into the grip instead of being housed in front of the trigger like the original 14mm. Like the original design, it is roughly a 50% ultra-chunky [[Hämmerli 280]] (now minus the separate magwell) and 50% the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|"LAPD 2019 Blaster"]] from the movie ''[[Blade Runner]]'', though a standalone gun even closer to the ''Blade Runner'' weapon exists too. Its only modification is a suppressor. The pistol's grip also has a loose similarity to that of the Finnish [[Jatimatic]] submachine gun. The 12.7mm Pistol is as rare as its ammo, found in Bloodborne Cave and carried by NCR troops at Hoover Dam as well as NCR Ranger Presidential Guards. While it needs a high Strength and Guns skill to properly use, the 12.7mm's power is one to be reckoned with, piercing flesh and armor alike with ease and making it a solid choice for a high-level sidearm when armor's a problem.

A unique variant was added with the ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC, named "Lil' Devil". This unique compact variant has a shorter barrel and synthetic black grips, as well as a dark matte finish. Lil' Devil, besides being an adorable name for a sidearm, is better than the standard 12.7mm in almost every way, from damage to the fact it can be snuck into Strip casinos. The only disadvantage is that it can't be fitted with a silencer.

=="10mm Pistol"==
The "10mm Pistol" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. As in that game, it is loosely based on a [[Desert Eagle|Magnum Research Desert Eagle]]. The 10mm is a very common weapon, sold and carried by many merchants, Vault 19 Powder Gangers, and many members of the Kings. Unlike the Browning and two Colt pistols, it seems to operate entirely in double action. It can be modified with a laser sight, suppressor, and extended magazine. The 10mm is a reliable sidearm for the mid point of the game, with higher damage and DPS than the standard 9mm offerings alongside decent mods to keep it in the power band long enough to be useful.

The pre-order bonus "Classic Pack", also included in the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, adds the "Weathered 10mm Pistol"; aside from the different skin, it features slightly higher damage and durability at the cost of not being a holdout weapon.

==LAPD 2019 'Blaster'==
The [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]] from ''[[Blade Runner]]'' makes a return to the ''Fallout'' series. Called "That Gun" in-game, in reference to "That Gun from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]''", the .223 Pistol. Like its predecessor, it chambers 5.56x45mm NATO and can also chamber .223, which wears out the gun slower at the cost of less damage. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a non-unique variant of this weapon, called the "5.56mm Pistol". "That Gun" can be purchased from Cliff Briscoe in Novac or stolen from the back room. The 5.56mm Pistol is more than just old ''Fallout'' nostalgia, but a potent side-grade pistol for mid to high level players. Sure it's not fast firing, but 5.56 AP is very common and very effective for pesky Legionnaires.

The handgun is useable to complete two movie-related challenges (tasks the player can complete to earn XP). "Benefit or a Hazard" refers to the film the gun originated in, ''Blade Runner'', and requires the Courier (fittingly) to kill robots with the pistol, while "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'" (a reference to Clint Eastwood's line to a bounty hunter in ''[[The Outlaw Josey Wales]]'') requires the Courier kill members of enemy faction hit squads with "Cowboy" themed weapons (which includes all revolvers and lever-action weapons, including the decidedly un-Western 5.56mm).

==Ruger 22/45==
The [[Ruger 22/45]] appears as the "Silenced .22 Pistol". It has an integral sliencer and will not alert enemies (who have not been shot) of the player's presence. It will not dismember on hit and does less damage to limbs. It is also one of the two guns players can always sneak into casinos regardless of their sneak skill, the other being the Police Pistol. The .22 Pistol is very common, being found in Camp McCarran, the Vikki and Vance Casino, as well as being sold by Mr. Holdout on the Strip; one will always be used to kill the White Glove Society member Chauncey during "Beyond the Beef," even if something would physically prevent the bullets from reaching him (such as a party member).

==Colt New Service*==
The [[Colt New Service]] appears in the first ''New Vegas'' DLC, ''Dead Money'', as the "Police Pistol", and deviates from the real revolver in that it chambers .357 Magnum in-game. The Courier will cock the hammer after every shot, but the first round fired from the pistol will be in double-action. The inclusion of this revolver is a reference to ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', which was a major influence for the DLC alongside the Japanese suspense film ''[[Battle Royale]]''.

The weapon is extremely useful in ''Dead Money'' due to its very high critical hit ratio, mostly for killing unconscious Ghosts, the zombie-like residents of the Sierra Madre. The New Service can be found in surprising numbers around the Sierra Madre in various containers, as well as in Dean Domino's Secret Stashes. It weighs 3 pounds, which is significantly higher than its real weight of 2.3.

This is because the New Service's model reuses parts from the S&W M29 such as its cylinder and frame.]]

==Magnum Research BFR==
The [[Magnum Research BFR]] appears as the "Hunting Revolver", chambered in .45-70 Govt'. Unlike the real BFR, which is a single action only revolver that feeds from a loading gate, the Hunting Revolver is a double action revolver that feeds through a swing-out cylinder. It always has an unremovable scope. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant which can accept modifications; this includes a 6-shot cylinder and a match barrel, decreasing weapon spread. The Hunting Revolver can be found in a variety of places; carried by the mercenary Orris in Freeside, at the campfire in Bloodborne Cave, and tucked away in the REPCONN Test Site. The Hunting Revolver is a solid way to tap into your early .45-70 reserves, with high raw damage and a scope to let you select and delete heads with ease.

The Ranger Sequoia is a unique scopeless version given to NCR Rangers, with a black finish, gold engraving, the NCR bear and Ranger symbol on the wood grip, a brass plate reading "20 Years" on the underside, and "For Honorable Service" and "Against All Tyrants" engraved on the different sides of the barrel. The Ranger Sequoia is much rarer, found on some NCR Veteran Rangers as well as their commander, Chief Hanlon ([[Kris Kristofferson]]); his can be acquired during the quest "Return to Sender," depending on its resolution. The Ranger Sequoia is one of the game's most powerful weapons, with a higher damage, rate of fire and even crit chance than the normal Hunting Revolver and with no scope to stop you from whipping this thing out.

==Colt M1911A1*==
The ''Honest Hearts'' DLC introduces the [[M1911A1]] as the ".45 Auto Pistol". Joshua Graham describes the gun as "designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago", referring to fellow LDS follower John Moses Browning. The Dead Horses, and most tribes in Zion, make extensive use of it. After beating the main questline of Honest Hearts, .45 Auto ammunition, and the weapons which fire it, are carried by the Gun Runners outside New Vegas; the weapons themselves are never used by NPCs outside the Park, however. The .45 Auto Pistol can take two upgrades: the HD Slide improves the weapon's durability, while the suppressor eliminates the gun's report. After these upgrades, the pistol resembles a [[Colt XSE]]. At one point, the in-game iron sights were going to be an upgrade, with the gun having default, more traditional M1911 sights; this ended up being cut, and the upgraded 3-dot sights are permanent on the default weapon in the final game. The M1911 used by Follows-Chalk still has the original iron sights, but it is normally unobtainable. It correctly holds 7 rounds.

The M1911A1 is a powerful weapon, with damage output on par with the 12.7mm Pistol and (illogically) vastly outperforming the 10mm pistol. It is the most powerful holdout weapon compatible with a suppressor, but ammo is hard to come by outside of Zion, as .45 ACP can only be obtained by purchasing it from certain merchants or reloading. It weighs 1.5 pounds, quite light for a 1911 variant (for reference, an original M1911 weighs about 2.3). Follows-Chalk mentions that Joshua tells him the M1911A1's cartridge “Won the West”; this seems to be a misplaced reference to the .45 Long Colt.

==Colt New Agent*==
Joshua Graham from the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC carries a unique .45 Auto pistol, a [[M1911|Colt New Agent]] with a snakeskin-pattern grip and Greek script engraved into the slide. The script ("καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει" on the right side and "και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν" on the left side) is a quote from the Bible (John 1:5) ''"And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"'', from which the weapon's name, "A Light Shining in Darkness", is derived. In keeping with this name, the slide glows in the dark, making it easier to use in poorly lit caves and ruins. It holds 6 rounds of .45 Auto in its magazine.

Despite the decreased ammo capacity, A Light Shining in Darkness is in every other way superior to the base .45 Auto, having higher damage, reduced weight, a faster rate of fire, and increased crit chance and damage. Really the only negative is the guttersnipe sights and the lack of a suppressor, but that didn't stop Joshua using it.

==Brescia Model 00*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds a visually-altered Italian WWII-era Brescia Model 00, appearing simply as the "Flare Gun". Many Marked Men have it (and, in some cases, are scripted to fire it into the air, presumably signaling for help), and some emergency kits do as well. Bizarrely, while the animations suggest that the weapon fires ordinary flares, it actually consumes 10 units of flamethrower fuel per shot; as a consequence, it is oddly classed as an energy weapon in-game. Even more bizarrely, the Flare Gun is also an improved holdout weapon, perfect for dealing with the ever present danger of Deathclaw attacks on the Strip.

As an in-game weapon, it cannot be used for any sort of signaling, but can be used to do damage to (and ignite) enemies from a distance - provided, that is, that the player can compensate for the arc-type trajectory of the flares. However, its main advantage is its ability to frighten away abominations - even the mighty Deathclaw is terrified by flares.

==Ruger GP100==
While not usable in-game, a [[Ruger GP100]] appears on the cover of the "Guns and Bullets" skill book, which permanently raises the user's Guns skill by 3 points.

==Shansi Type 17==
Similarly, while the [[Shansi Type 17]] can't be used in-game, it still makes an appearance, being one of the unusable weapons in Mick's weapon stash in the back of Mick & Ralph's. It is exactly the same model as the one used in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.

=Submachine Guns=
=="10mm Submachine Gun"==
The "10mm Submachine Gun" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', and is again essentially a [[Browning M2HB]] receiver reversed and put into a package similar to the defunct [[Heckler & Koch SMG]] prorotype, along with a pistol grip and trigger guard reminiscent of the [[Thompson]] line of submachine guns. It can be found on many mid-level humanoid mobs such as Jackal gang members and members of the Kings. It can also be found as level-adjusted loot in gun lockers once the player reaches a high enough level.

Although the in-game description for the 10mm SMG lists a high DPS, it shares the common weakness of most shotguns and automatic weapons in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' in that much of its theoretical power is negated by the new Damage Threshold system. In addition to losing much of its damage, the high spread of this weapon requires the player to be at close ranges for all of the rounds fired to impact on the target. Despite this, if the player does manage to get into close range via stealth or ambushing it can be a powerful weapon against unarmored enemies.

It can be modified with a 40-round magazine and a recoil compensator.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as "Sleepytyme", which has an integral suppressor, greater damage, and a higher rate of fire. It is also a holdout weapon that can be carried into casinos and is the only automatic holdout weapon available.

[[File:HK SMG II.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch SMG II - 9x19mm]]
[[File:FalloutNewVegas10mm_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The in-game model for the 10mm SMG. Note the two selector switches pointing opposite directions above the pistol grip, a setup presumably based on the aforementioned Thompson; assuming that these markings are HK-style pictograms, the rear one (which would be rather awkward to operate) has one "safe" position and two "fire" ones (with the top one selected), while the front seemingly has 3-round burst, 4-round burst (selected), and a six-notch setting that presumably represents full-auto. While it could be argued that the rear selector offers safe, semi-auto, and a position that can be either burst or full-auto depending on the front switch's setting (akin to the dual-switch setup on the [[FAMAS F1]]), this idea is somewhat undermined by the two "fire" markings being completely identical.]]
[[File:10mm SMG with extended mag and recoil comp.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The 10mm SMG fitted with an extended magazine and a recoil compensator. It's not entirely clear how the latter attachment is actually attached, given that the weapon's muzzle (shown above, and seemingly based on the M2's buffer tube given its placement) is a smooth, tapered tube with no threads or notches; given its placement, it appears to be just ''barely'' attached at all, overlapping almost none of the barrel.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier holds his 10mm SMG.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then reloads it, wondering why it has what seems to be an unusable underfolding stock (which could never be unfolded with the magazine in place). After swapping mags, the Courier then "pulls" the weapon's charging handle; the handle doesn't actually move, presumably because it's placed all the way at the end of its slot - since the receiver was modeled off of a Browning M2 with the bolt forward, its reversal puts the bolt all the way back, with no space for it to be pulled further.]]

==M3 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3 Grease Gun]] chambered for 9mm rounds appears as the "9mm Submachine Gun". It has a heavily shortened barrel and is scaled down so it can be held one-handed. It can be modified with drum magazines that increase ammo capacity by 30 rounds and a "light bolt" that increases the rate of fire. The 9mm SMG is fairly common, with the player being able to acquire one right at the start of the game with a high enough Repair skill. Its standard 30-round magazine and easy-to-find 9mm ammo make it one of the better starter weapons, but it loses its effectiveness once armor gets involved due to low damage and the thin 30 rounder mags.

The unique variant, "Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun", can be acquired by completing an unmarked quest to track it down after it was stolen from a casino dedicated to fictitious criminals Vikki & Vance, the latter of which owned the gun. Vikki & Vance are stated to have been contemporaries of Bonnie & Clyde, making their use of an M3 anachronistic by about ten years. Vance's 9mm SMG comes with a pristine black finish, wood or bakelite grips, no stock, and express-type sights. While like a majority of unique variants it cannot be modified, it comes with 60-round magazines and a rate of fire inbetween the default 9mm SMG and it with the light bolt modification, in addition to the usual unique variant upgrades. Increased damage, hit probability and the weird in-between rate of fire so you can spray wildly and actually hit what you're aiming at, a perfect way to spend your 9mm stocks late game.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "H&H Tools Nail Gun" as a weapon. The Nail Gun bears a striking resemblance to the M3, featuring a very similar profile and layout, even having the M3's crank lever and replacing the M3's ejection port with a safety switch. Should you find enough nails in either The Divide or the Mojave, keep them for this. Sure it's not as powerful as either of its original versions, but the double damage to limbs makes this an entertaining way to stop an annoying enemy from shooting you.

==American-180==
The [[American-180]] appears in-game as the "Silenced .22 SMG". It lacks a stock and is integrally suppressed. In-game, it uses 180-round magazines which can be replaced with a larger pan magazine that holds 240 rounds, both of which are not available for the gun's real life counterpart. The American 180 can be found on Gomorrah Bank Guards and Fiend raiders in Vault 3.

Both it and the stocks of .22 necessary to keep it running aren't particularly common, but combo the two and you have a delightfully silly gun for any combat encounter where any enemy can be dropped in a endless swarm of .22 caliber bees.

==Thompson Submachine Guns==
Two variants of the Thompson SMG series appear in game, one as an energy weapon, the other as a conventional slug-thrower.

===M1928 Thompson===
An [[M1928 Thompson]]-inspired energy weapon appears as the "Laser RCW" (Rapid Capacitor Weapon, according to the game's director Josh Sawyer). It holds 60 Electron Charge Packs in a drum and can be modified with a Recycler attachment, which replenishes 1 shot per 4 fired. In addition, on the rear portion of the receiver, it has a rail-top carry handle based on the H&K [[G36C]]'s.

The RCW is a fairly common energy weapon, used by Fiends, Brotherhood of Steel scribes, and members of the Bright Brotherhood found scattered across the waste or at REPCONN. Using the somewhat uncommon ECP packs and allowing for a recycler to maximize its charge, the RCW is a proto-Minigun and a good high ROF weapon for an early to mid game Energy Weapons build that lets you ditch a Recharger Rifle and have something to panic spray middling damage at.

Though not usable, normal M1928s appear on the cover for the "Milsurp Review" skill magazine, which temporarily raises the player's Guns skill by 10.

===M1A1 Thompson*===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the ".45 Auto Submachine Gun", introduced in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It can be modified with a Cutts compensator to reduce spread, as well as M1921/M1928 50-round drum magazines which somehow work with the M1A1's magazine well. The weapon is used heavily by the White Legs tribe, who call them "storm drums," and is stocked by a variety of traders in the Mojave following the completion of the DLC's campaign.

The .45 Auto SMG is a powerful SMG on par with the 12.7mm SMG, with a high rate of fire combined with powerful rounds, but tempered by rather poor accuracy. The weapon incorrectly fires in a closed bolt manner due to it reusing animations for other autoloading firearms.

=="12.7mm Submachine Gun"==
The heavy-hitter of the submachine gun category, the "12.7mm submachine gun", while largely fictional, has some distinct features from some real-world weapons, using a top-mounted 21-round magazine that lies flat along the top of the weapon, rather like that of an [[FN P90]] (interestingly, the rear sight is mounted to this magazine, rather like the [[Calico]] series), and what appears to be a [[TDI Vector]]-style offset recoil system (which, given the caliber, would probably be necessary). It can be found on the Legion's Veteran Decanii, and other high-ranking officials, as well as some of their assassins and vexillarius at higher levels, high-level White Legs in ''Honest Hearts'', and both high-level marked men and Ulysses in ''Lonesome Road''; one can also be found in Bloodborne Cave, and can be bought from some weapon merchants and the Great Khans at higher levels, as well as the Vendortron, and occasionally Knight Torres.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a version that can be customized further than the one in the base game - while the standard version can accept a suppressor (which, like the [[PGM Hecate II]]'s suppressor, reduces enemies' ability to hear the weapon, rather than eliminating it), the ''GRA'' version can also be fitted with a laser sight (which increases accuracy), and a "Stacked Magazine" (which raises the capacity from 21 rounds to 27). The 12.7mm SMG is the best submachine gun in the game, due to the extremely powerful 12.7mm round. It shreds through light, medium and heavy armor and can take down high-end enemies like Rangers, Deathclaws and Paladins within a few mags. However, the scarcity of the ammo plus the relatively small magazine somewhat limits the 12.7mm SMG's power.

=Rifles=
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]] appears as the "Assault Carbine". It is chambered for the fictional 5mm round (also used by the Minigun) and is the fastest firing rifle in the base game, tied with the LMG. It has a 24-round magazine by default (although the magazine itself is modelled after a 20-round one), but can be upgraded with a 30-round magazine. It, along with the other AR-15 derivatives below, lacks a charging handle on the rear of the carry handle, instead having a knob located directly on the bolt on the right side. The Assault Carbine can be found in many former military installations in the Mojave such as Vault 34 as well as the Nellis Air Force Base. Companion Lily Bowen's personal Assault Carbine is fitted with a suppressor, which is not available as a mod for either of the two playable Assault Carbine variants.

The Assault Carbine is a good armor breaker, allowing an easily aimed usage of 5mm ammo than the Minigun tempered by its still ridiculously fast fire rate. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant of the Assault Carbine with additional modifications; a "forged receiver" which increases the weapon's durability, a "light bolt" which increases rate of fire, and an extended magazine which raises its capacity to 30 rounds.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with a SIR railed foregrip, a Magpul PRS stock, and a low-power ACOG-style scope appears as the "Marksman Carbine". The Marksman Carbine is a somewhat uncommon weapon, with a few being located in Vault 34 and is purchasable from the Vendortron and Knight Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker; it will, however, be frequently used by Legion assassins at high levels. It only holds 20 rounds, even though it is modelled with a 30-round magazine. The Marksman Carbine is a powerful carbine with some of the spicier 5.56 variants like HP or AP, capped mostly by how middling the damage is for 5.56 in-game.

The "All-American", the unique variant of the Marksman Carbine, is found only in the armory at the bottom of the irradiated, ghoul-infested Vault 34 located east of New Vegas. It has a woodland camo finish, a 24-round magazine (which is visually identical to the 20-round magazine on the base carbine), and an 82nd Airborne Division badge on the magazine well (although it tends to glitch and not show properly). The All-American is one of ''New Vegas'''s best scoped weapons, dealing accurate, high-damage shots without eating through rare ammunition. This damage can be further enhanced with the "Hand Loader" perk added with the ''Gun Runner's Arsenal'' DLC, which enables the creation of match 5.56 ammo that increases damage and accuracy with no downside.

==Colt M16A1==
An [[M16A1]] with wood furniture (''Fallout'''s world ran out of oil long ago) appears as the "Service Rifle". It is chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO and is semi-auto only. The upper receiver has a forward assist and a case deflector. While rarely seen due to the weapon's high durability and low jam rate even at poor condition, the jam animation involves one of the few instances of the forward assist actually being used in fiction. It can be modified with a "forged receiver" that increases its durability and "upgraded springs" that increase its fire rate. An aperture sight and bayonet are included in the files, but were not implemented. As the name suggests, the Service Rifle is standard issue to the NCR Military and can be found wherever NCR Army troops are or were stationed.

It's a terrifically average rifle that allows a phase-out of the Varmint Rifle as the player's generic long ranged 5.56 caliber rifle with better stats overall beyond a middling accuracy and lack of a suppressor option but making up for it with semi automatic firepower. Strangely, the Service Rifle can ''not'' normally be cannibalized for parts to repair the Assault Carbine or Marksman Carbine, even though in reality the three would share nearly all parts.

A unique Service Rifle chambered in 12.7mm called the "Survivalist's Rifle" appears in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It was the weapon of a US Army serviceman who fled to Zion Canyon after the Great War. It features a blocky handguard somewhat reminiscent of the M16 LSW/LMG along with a shortened barrel similar to that of the Colt Model 605, but has numerous makeshift repairs along the body work and a damaged front sight. The English and French words "STOP!" and "ARRÊT!" are scrawled onto the stock of the weapon, a marking on the receiver reads "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT CHKPNT CARBINE 12.7MM CAL", and another marking above the trigger reads "LONG BRANCH ARSENAL ONTARIO, USA TERRITORY". The Survivalist's Rifle can be found on top of the Red Gate, next to the remains of the Survivalist himself. The Survivalist's Rifle lives up to its name - the accuracy of the standard Service Rifle combined with the power of the 12.7mm round are a lethal combination for any target, only capped by the damaged front sight hindering aiming (although in a roundabout way compensates for the game's slightly bugged iron sights system).

==PGM Hecate II==
The [[PGM Hecate II]] appears as the "Anti-Materiel Rifle". It is the first gun seen in the game; one is used during the opening FMV by an NCR Ranger to kill a Fiend countersniper. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant that can be modified with a "carbon fibre body" which decreases weight, a "custom bolt" that increases rate of fire, and a suppressor which doesn't actually suppress gun noise but merely lowers and muffles the gun's extremely loud report to a more comfortable level. The Hecate appears very late in the game, sold by the Gun Runners or Knight Torres of the Brotherhood of Steel and only seen on Veteran Rangers, a few Legion troops and various DLC enemies.

The Hecate is a weapon intended for long-range shooting, easily able to pick through highly armored enemies including deathclaws, but has a slow fire rate, fires rare .50 BMG rounds, and requires a Strength of 8 and a Guns skill of 100 to even shoot properly. Because the Hecate II uses pre-existing animations shared with other bolt-action rifles, the Courier will hold the gun as if it had a rifle grip rather than by the PGM's pistol grip. According to project director Joshua Sawyer, the PGM Hecate II was modeled in the game for the .50 caliber rifle role because he thought [[Barrett]] rifles in other games were too repetitive.

[[Image:FalloutNVAntiMat-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A third person view of the Anti-Materiel Rifle.]]

=="Varmint Rifle"==
The "Varmint Rifle" is a fictitious bolt-action rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine. Originally, it was intended to use .22 LR rounds which were fed from a long, curved magazine, but this proved unpopular during play testing and was changed to 5.56mm rounds feeding from a small box magazine; some NPCs using the rifle still carry .22 LR rounds instead of 5.56mm. It can be upgraded with 8-round extended magazines, a night vision scope and a silencer. It is one of the first weapons available, as a free one is received from Sunny Smiles during the "Back in the Saddle" quest. It is a good starter rifle, boasting decent DPS and accuracy, but after armor is introduced, it becomes quickly obsolete. The combination of a scope and silencer remains unique for quite some time however.

The unique variant is called the "Ratslayer", which can be found in Broc Flower Cave. It has a black polymer stock featuring a stylized mole rat skull and 69 tally marks on the rear right. Should you manage to find this cave in the Level 9-12 range, you've picked up a delightful sidegrade rifle with an increased fire rate, damage and scope zoom to the fully modded Varmint Rifle and a very effective way to silently take down enemies at range until you get the suppressed Sniper Rifle.

==M1 Garand==
An [[M1 Garand]] rechambered for .308 rounds was supposed to appear in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' as the "Battle Rifle", but was cut from the final game. The unique variant of the Battle Rifle, however, was not cut and appears in the base game. Named "This Machine" (a reference to Woodie Guthrie's famous guitar sticker, which read "This Machine Kills Fascists"; seemingly as a response, the in-game weapon's stock is marked "Well This Machine Kills Commies"), it can be acquired by completing the unmarked quest "Dealing with Contreras". Both This Machine and the Battle Rifle weigh the correct 9.5 pounds for an M1 Garand.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC added the base Battle Rifle back into the game. The Battle Rifle can only be obtained from traders. The Battle Rifle serves as a semi-automatic .308 rifle to not so much replace the Hunting Rifle but give you more options. Decently accurate bar its high spread at range with a quick reload and decent damage, it's a good mid-game rifle. And This Machine keeps that going into the late game with more damage and crit chance to make use of that delightful .308 AP.

==Winchester 1886==
The [[Winchester 1886]] appears as the "Cowboy Repeater". It is chambered for .357 Magnum, and can be upgraded with an extended magazine tube that increases its capacity from 7 rounds to 11, a maple stock to reduce weight, and a "custom action" that engraves the receiver and increases rate of fire. The Cowboy Repeater is an early choice for subbing out the Varmint Rifle, doing more damage and using a more versatile cartridge than the Varmint tempered by how mediocre .357 gets against armor.

The unique variant is named "La Longue Carabine" (a reference to ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'') fitted with a scope, the extended magazine tube available for the base rifle, an engraved stock, and an octagonal barrel. It also lacks a loading gate, and as such recycles ''[[Fallout 3]]'''s reloading animations for the [[Henry 1860]], opening the muzzle-end of the magazine tube and then inserting rounds in. It is found on Corporal Sterling of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp McCarran. Faster reload than the normal Repeater, faster fire rate and DPS combo'd with a scope, this thing was built to pop lightly armored Fiends.

==Marlin Model 336==
The [[Marlin Model 336]] appears as the "Trail Carbine", and fires .44 Magnum. It was likely at some point meant to chamber .30-30 WCF but the cartridge was cut from the game due to having too much overlap with the gameplay role .308 Win chambered weapons play in-game, this is evident by the thinner loading gate on the side of the rifle. The Trail Carbine can be found in places such as Bonnie Springs or Red Rock Canyon and it can be modified with a scope. The Trail Carbine is mostly a straight upgrade over the Cowboy Repeater, with more damage and critical hit power and the ability to mount a scope as a mod. Don't knock it till you try it.

=="Hunting Rifle"==
The [[Winchester Model 70]]-inspired "Hunting Rifle" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. Like its counterpart in ''Fallout 3'', it is a bolt-action rifle feeding from a five-round detachable magazine, but now has proper iron sights and chambers .308 Winchester. It can be modified with 10-round magazines, a "custom action" that cleans the bolt and reciever, as well as increasing rate of fire, and a 3.5x scope for long-range shooting. The rifle is fairly common in the hands of some NCR soldiers, Fiends, Legionaries, and other Wastelanders; a Fiend during the opening cutscene makes the incredibly poor choice of using one in an attempt to counter-snipe an NCR Ranger, which ends rather predictably. Companion Craig Boone uses a scoped version, the only companion weapon to have a modification installed (excluding Lily Bowen's Assault Carbine, though the suppressor on that rifle is unobtainable by the player). The Hunting Rifle is one of the perfect mid to high level rifles, serving as a sniping tool between varmint and sniper rifles. It's precise, reliable and good at dealing with anything short of a BoS Paladin or a Deathclaw.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "Paciencia" (Spanish for Patience) unique variant, which can be bought from Cliff Briscoe in Novac. It is cleaner than the regular rifle and lacks the makeshift repairs done to that version, as well as having a Mexican flag wrapped around the stock and a gold bead sight. Panciencia deals extra critical damage and has high reliability, but only has a three-round magazine (identical to the regular rifle's 5-round magazine). It also boasts a 3.5x zoom, despite only having iron sights. According to lead designer Josh Sawyer, this rifle was called "Paciencia" because its user "better make them (the three shots per magazine) count".

==Marlin Model 1895==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] appears as the "Brush Gun", firing .45-70 Gov't rounds out of a six-round tube magazine. Although it is said by Josh Sawyer, the game's lead designer, that it "is not based on one gun specifically, but guns like the [[Winchester Model 1886]] and Marlin Guide Gun", the Winchester influence only comes with the "forged receiver", the Brush Gun's only modification, which gives it the receiver of a Model 1886, as well as increasing the weapon's durability. It is a rare weapon, primarily used by NCR Veteran Rangers and Legion assassins. The Brush Gun is one of the best rifles in the game, with high power and decent accuracy with a plethora of flavors of custom ammo to sink the skill points you need to make this thing effectively into. Do not doubt how utterly busted the HP .45-70 is out of this thing.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as the "Medicine Stick" (presumably a reference to Theodore Roosevelt's [[Winchester Model 1895]] in .405 Winchester, which he called his "Big Medicine"). It features a much less intrusive ghost ring sight, a stainless steel or nickel finish on the reciever, and what appears to be a medicine wheel on its stock. The Medicine Stick is better in every way than the Brush Gun, albeit not as overwhelmingly as the other GRA weapons. That being said it's still a high powered and accurate boomstick with more accuracy and an easier to read sight picture.

=="Gauss Rifle"==
The "Gauss Rifle" returns from ''Fallout 3'''s ''Operation: Anchorage'' DLC, now sporting a buttplate on the stock. While fictional, the Gauss Rifle is rather clearly inspired by the [[Lahti L-39]] anti-tank rifle, particularly in the receiver area; it even retains the L-39's crank-type cocking handle (which is only used when the rifle "jams" by rotating it back into place). The weapon uses microfusion cells, of which it holds 5, and consumes 5 per shot, essentially making it a single-shot rifle. Bizarrely, while the weapon still does behave as a coilgun logically should, propelling ferromagnetic projectiles with electromagnetism, these projectiles (presumably contained in the weapon's side-mounted box magazine) are never replenished, and never run out. It is found on BoS Paladins, Y-17 Trauma Override Harnesses in ''Old World Blues'', and Father Elijah in ''Dead Money'', and can be bought from Knight Torres (provided the appropriate quests have been completed) and the Silver Rush. The Gauss Rifle is the sniper rifle option for characters using energy weapons, with very high damage outclassing even the Hecate II that will cause hilarious overkill on anything short of Deathclaws, though this damage can only be dealt slowly.

The unique variant of the Gauss Rifle, the "YCS/186" (a reference to Your Console Sucks, a Something Awful forum with the ID of 186) is found on a mercenary in a camp east of Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch (unless the trait Wild Wasteland is selected, where it is replaced with aliens and unavailable in normal gameplay). The YCS/186 uses only 4 MFCs per shot, does more damage, and is slightly more accurate than the Gauss Rifle, but is one pound heavier. Make of that what you will.

==Heckler & Koch G3==
An early-pattern [[G3]] (or, more precisely, the R91 Assault Rifle from ''[[Fallout 3]]''), while not a playable weapon in-game, appears on the "Commando" perk icon, as well as the "Aggressive" Companion wheel setting.

Additionally, the "Infiltrator" (a variant of the G3 with a longer magazine, no stock, a black synthetic forearm, and a suppressor) from the ''Fallout 3'' DLC ''The Pitt'' is visible in Mick's special weapon stash, but is also unusable.

=="Chinese Assault Rifle"==
A poster for Freddy Fear's House of Scares (seen in ''[[Fallout 3]]'') can be found in the El Rey Motel, and another can be found in a collapsed office building in the "Lonesome Road" DLC. This poster depicts several children dressed in the company's costumes, one of whom wields a rifle; while highly indistinct, given how the rifle appears to have an AK-style magazine and an [[RPD]]-like handguard, and that this costume is meant to be a Chinese soldier, it is reasonable to assume that it is supposed to represent the "Chinese Assault Rifle" from ''Fallout 3''.

The rifle itself also appears in the game in a non-usable form. During the quest "How Little We Know" the Courier may be tasked with destroying a weapons stockpile using thermite; amid the rubble is the front sight and muzzle of a Chinese Assault Rifle. The rifle's magazines also appear as the pickup model for 5.56mm rounds.

=="Sniper Rifle"==
The fictitious "Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout 3]]'' (based on the also fictitious "DKS-501 Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'') returns. It is a semi-automatic rifle with a 3.5x scope and a five-round detachale magazine holding .308 rounds. It is rather rare, only being purchasable from a handful of merchants, or found in some rather out-of-the-way locations. It has two available modifications - a suppressor to reduce the weapon's report, and "carbon fiber parts", which impressively lower its weight from 8 pounds to 3. As the name implies, the Sniper Rifle is one of the best long-range weapons in the game, suffering only from a slow fire rate and low durability.

There is one unique variant of the Sniper Rifle in the base game, the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle, which is found in a locked gun case in the Sniper's Nest near Cottonwood Cove. It has an extended magazine, a more solid thumbhole stock (rather than the odd partially-completed skeletal thumbhole stock of the standard variant), a slightly shortened barrel (in spite of the noticeably better accuracy), and a desert camouflage paint scheme. According to the game's lore, it was originally issued to the U.S. Armed Forces in the Gobi Desert campaign in China prior to the 2077 nuclear war (although how it then managed to wind up in a sniper's nest in the Mojave isn't particularly clear). Gameplay-wise, it has a lower weight (4.5 pounds), an extended magazine holding 6 rounds, slightly higher damage, a lower AP cost in VATS, a higher fire rate, better durability, better critical damage, and better accurate, with the only downside being the inability to accept mods.

The ''Old World Blues'' DLC added a second unique variant, "Christine's CoS Silencer Rifle". It is found in a decrepit building to the north of Little Yangtze. It has the highest damage of the 3 variants (not to mention the highest damage of any suppressed weapon, and the highest non-crit damage of anything chambering .308), a weight of 5.5 pounds, slightly better durability (though not as good as that of the Gobi rifle), and a critical chance multiplier of 2.5 (compared to the 2 of the other variants), at the cost of a higher AP cost in VATS, and the inability to accept mods (although it already has a suppressor and is only 2.5 pounds heavier than the Sniper Rifle with carbon fiber parts). The weapon was originally owned by Christine Royce of the Circle of Steel (hence the name), a sub-group within the Brotherhood of Steel, and was later left behind while she hunted for Elijah.

==M1903 Springfield==
While it is quite hard to spot, the model of the BB Gun's loader has a logo that features an [[M1903 Springfield]]. The weapon does not make any sort of physical appearance in-game.
[[File:M1903Mark1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mark 1 M1903 Springfield - .30-06]]

=Machine Guns=
=="Light Machine Gun"==
The "Light Machine Gun" consists of the receiver and stock of an [[M249]], and the handguard and barrel assembly from an [[M60]]. It also has some other non-standard features including a shortened stock (presumably to prevent clipping into character models when shouldered), a wooden carry handle, pistol grip and handguard, a differently designed front sight post, and a detachable 90-round magazine as opposed to a belt box. The last can be modified with the "expanded drums" upgrade to hold 200 rounds. The weapon's sights are a somewhat bizarre reversed notch setup. It can be found on a few high-level enemies, in the back of the Deathclaw-infested Quarry Junction, or purchased at a high enough level. Unlike the real M249, the LMG appears to fire from a closed bolt and its charging handle reciprocates when fired. The Light Machine Gun is a powerful weapon for players with a large supply of 5.56mm rounds, giving them a large magazine and a controllable rate of fire to allow them to fulfill their fantasies of being post-apocalyptic [[Rambo]].

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the fictitious, seemingly [[Barrett M82A1]]-inspired "Bozar", which previously appeared in ''Fallout 2'', though it lacks that version's bizarre 15-round burst. While ostensibly the unique variant of the Light Machine Gun, in practice the Bozar has nothing to do with the LMG outside of reusing its animations and being compatible with repairing the former when its condition has deteriorated enough, having a completely different design. The Bozar essentially acts as a fully-automatic long-range rifle, with a 2.43x scope and 30-round magazines. How viable that exactly ''is'' will be up to you.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle*==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] was added in ''Dead Money'', the first DLC for ''New Vegas'', as the "Automatic Rifle". It has a pistol grip and stock that resemble those on the Colt Monitor and European copies. This weapon is chambered in .308 ammunition and as such is the only fully automatic weapon in the game that utilizes this ammo. It can be modified with "upgraded internals" that increase its rate of fire by 10%. Interestingly, the menu icon for the BAR shows the bipod unfolded, whereas it is folded and unusable in the game itself. It is hidden in a number of locations around the Sierra Madre.

Rather bizarrely, it is the least accurate automatic weapon in the game, even worse than the SMGs. This problem is compounded by its small capacity magazines, low fire rate (even when upgraded), high weight at 16lbs (even beating out the LMG which is a pound lighter), and poor durability. Its only redeeming quality is its damage - the highest of any automatic weapon.

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870 Wingmaster==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 Wingmaster]] (with the magazine tube cap of a Winchester) appears as the "Hunting Shotgun". It can be upgraded with a choke to reduce spread and a "long tube" to increase ammunition capacity from 5 rounds to 8. The Hunting Shotgun is the most accurate non-unique 12 gauge shotgun in the game, allowing for greater accuracy and precision at the cost of a lower fire rate and magazine capacity compared to the Riot Shotgun, making it ideal for Magnum and Slug shells.

The unique version, "Dinner Bell", has synthetic camo furniture and is the most accurate shotgun in the game. Dinner Bell is a reward for the quest "Bleed Me Dry", given by Red Lucy, who runs The Thorn. The most accurate shotgun tip is not a joke, the Dinner Bell is a VERY accurate shotgun that makes very effective use of almost any custom ammo you can stuff in it. Slugs, Coin Shot, Magnum shells, you name it and this gun will pattern that blast directly into whatever you need dead.

==Over-and-Under Shotgun==
A 20 gauge over/under double-barrel shotgun called the "Caravan Shotgun" appears in game. Visually, it bears resemblance to a Winchester Model 101 and Otto Seelig brand Over/Unders. The "Caravan Shotgun" is commonly found on, fittingly, Crimson Caravan guards. The Caravan Shotgun is a decent weapon, being an almost direct upgrade over the Single Shotgun with moderately less accuracy at a cost of still being capped by the 20 gauge chambering.

Players who pre-ordered the 'Caravan Pack' version of ''New Vegas'' (or purchased the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC) acquired a "Sturdy Caravan Shotgun" at the start of the game. There is little difference visually aside from colors; gameplay-wise it has increased damage and durability at the cost of accuracy.

=="Riot Shotgun"==
The "Riot Shotgun" is a fictitious semi-automatic shotgun (bearing some very loose similarites to the [[Hawk shotgun series#Hawk Semi-Auto|Hawk Semi-Auto]]) chambered for 12 gauge rounds fed from a 12-round drum magazine. It is a rare find in the Mojave, usually being found on specific troops at Hoover Dam, or on Gomorrah Bank Guards. It may also be wielded by enemies during the ''Honest Hearts'' and ''Lonesome Road'' DLCs if the player's level is high enough.

The Riot Shotgun is far and away the fastest-firing shotguns in the game allowing you to send shells as fast as you think you need to. It's also one of the heaviest in the game, with a middling spread and damage alongside eating up a lot of 12 gauge ammo if you're not careful. That being said, the Riot Shotgun is a great candidate to pair with the "And Stay Back" perk which grants each fired pellet a chance to knock down targets.

[[Image:FalloutNVRiotShotgun-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier prepares to fire his Riot Shotgun again at some imposing construction.]]

==Winchester 1887==
A sawn-off [[Winchester Model 1887]] appears as the "Lever-action Shotgun". Unlike the real weapon, it is chambered for 20 gauge shells. It is not the most common weapon in the game, being found on a few characters and purchasable from the Gun Runners.

It is generally the best 20 gauge shotgun, being given a proper magazine and a fast rate of fire to capitalize on sending as much 20 gauge as fast as possible. That being said the middling returns on damage you get with 20 gauge and the overall bad ability for 20 gauge to kill anything you're aiming at once armor is involved makes this less ideal long-term. That and a sluggish reload.

==New England Pardner==
The [[New England Firearms Pardner]] appears in the game as the "Single Shotgun". The Single Shotgun is used by members of the Powder Gangers and lower level enemies. One such shotgun can be found in one of the houses in Goodsprings. The Single Shotgun is a good starter shotgun, with very good accuracy and the highest per-shot damage of any 20 gauge shotgun in the game at a cost of its lack of real damage to anything wearing armor, and it being outclassed by any other shotgun in almost every other respect.

Occasionally, the Courier will encounter Single Shotguns rigged up as tripwire-based traps, commonly set at doorways, replacing the fictional "Combat Shotgun" from ''Fallout 3''. Bizarrely, when a rigged shotgun is disarmed, it will remove the shotgun from the trap (unlike other traps, this can be done even after the trap has been activated - provided, that is, that the player character has a Repair skill of at least 45), and will grant the Courier a 20 gauge shell; it will not, however, give them the shotgun itself, despite removing it from the trap, which begs the question of where it actually goes when this happens. Additionally, if a trap was disarmed after it has been triggered, it will still yield one full shell, instead of an empty hull (which is also an item in the game).

Note the presence of what appears to be an electric motor powered by a microfusion cell (an energy weapon ammo type) set up to spool up a wire to pull the trigger, begging the question why the tripwire activates this motor rather than pulling the trigger itself. The weapon also seems to be held in place with aluminum foil.]]

==Sawn-Off Side-By-Side Shotgun==
The [[Sawn-off double barreled shotgun|sawn-off side-by-side shotgun]] from ''Fallout 3'' returns, again as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun". It has mostly the same model as that game, but has a completely different texture (with an overall cleaner look, different screw placement, and a different pistol grip) and only has one trigger, which somehow fires both barrels at the same time. As it is also held one-handed, this would likely be extremely painful for the user. This does mean it is effectively a single-shot weapon gameplay-wise, but the large amount of pellets fired and its 12 gauge chambering mean that it is the highest-damage shotgun (and the second highest damage of any weapon) in the game. As expected of a sawn-off shotgun the spread is extreme, and it is also the least durable shotgun. Rounding out this odd package, it can be brought into weapon-free areas if the player character has a Sneak skill of 50 or above. The Sawed-off is quite common in the Mojave, being carried by Ralph of Mick and Ralph's, some Fiends, Jessup, Omerta "button men", and bartenders at The Tops and Gomorrah, and being purchasable from Mick of Mick and Ralph's, and the Vendortron. Notably, they can also be obtained from Heck Gunderson during "Beyond the Beef", if the player chooses to tell him where his son is, and from Cachino during "How Little We Know" (along with thirty 12 gauge Magnum shells) if the player chooses to help him deal with Big Sal and Nero.

A unique variant with a darker, more worn look called the "Big Boomer" is carried by Old Lady Gibson, and can only be acquired by either stealing it from or killing her. Compared to the standard Sawed-Off, it is nearly a direct upgrade, with higher damage, a tighter spread, higher rate of fire, and a lower AP cost in VATS, with the only downside being the inability to carry it into weapons-free areas (regardless of the player's Sneak skill).

=Launchers=
==M79 Grenade Launcher==
The [[M79 Grenade Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Rifle". It can be found in several locations and is sold by many different vendors. It can be upgraded with a "long barrel" to increase grenade velocity and range. Because the launcher reuses the 20 gauge Pardner's reload animation, its user will cock a non-existent external hammer. The M79 is baby's first explosive weapon, with middling damage and a fast rate of fire but inferior to later grenade launchers. Don't knock it though, it's got a key fun trick. Knocking over enemies.

The M79 has the distinction of having the highest number of unique variants of any weapon in the game. The first is "Thump-Thump" found in the Nellis Array. It comes with the long barrel modification built-in and has a lighter-colored stock with a drawing of an angry beaver holding a rifle on it. In addition to having the effects of the long barrel modification built-in, Thump-Thump also fires faster, is more durable, and weighs slightly less. All for the low cost of finding it amongst the ants of the Array.

If the player preordered a version of the game that came with the "Mercenary Pack" or bought the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, they acquire the "Mercenary's Grenade Rifle" at the start of the game. It is almost identical to the base Grenade Rifle, only with a slightly darker color, slightly less weight, and not requiring skill in Explosives to use.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "Red Victory Grenade Rifle", with a stock painted to resemble the Chinese flag, and the "Great Bear Grenade Rifle", which has a blue grip and forend and a white Army star on the grip. The Red Victory can only be acquired if the player chooses to nuke the Legion at the end of the DLC, and the Great Bear only if the player chooses to nuke the NCR. The Red Victory is faster firing, weighs less, and is more durable compared to the base Grenade Rifle. The Great Bear is slightly heavier than the Red Victory (but still lighter than the base Grenade Rifle), but is much more durable and does more damage than the base Grenade Rifle.

[[File:FNV Great Bear.jpg|thumb|none|500px|...and the fourth one, the Great Bear, with a white star-in-circle design similar to that seen on some US Army vehicles.]]

==China Lake Launcher==
The [[China Lake Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Launcher". Unlike the real weapon, it has a 4-round tube magazine (as opposed to the real China Lake's 3-round tube magazine) and a much lower stock, presumably so that it can reuse animations from the Remington 870. Most Boomers carry it, along with one of the caravan guards at the start of the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC, and it can also be found in a few locations or purchased from several traders.

Consistent with ''New Vegas'''s design philosophy of making less powerful weapons still valuable after the player has found an "upgrade", while it initially appears to be an upgrade in every way over the Grenade Rifle, the Grenade Launcher is a fiddly beast with a less consistent damage output than the Grenade Rifle, due to the longer reloads. Additionally unlike the Grenade Rifle, the Launcher has no extended barrel upgrade to increase its range, which limits its potential for long range bombardment without extensive practice in learning its projectile arc.

A modified version named the "Holorifle" appears in the ''Dead Money'' DLC, with a futuristic short-range scope and various electronic pieces to convert the weapon to a microfusion cell-based energy weapon, firing some kind of odd hard light projectiles, and loading microfusion cells into the tube magazine and ejecting them after firing. It is given to the player once they arrive at the Sierra Madre. The Holorifle is decent against the enemies that stalk the Madre, though microfusion cells are hard to find there.

[[File:FNV Holorifle Side.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The right side of the Holorifle, as seen shortly after firing.]]

=="Grenade Machinegun"==
The "Grenade Machinegun" is a fictitious large fully-automatic grenade launcer firing 25mm grenades. It is comparable to the game's miniguns and flamethrowers in size and layout, also having an ammo storage carreid on the user's back. The gun carries a large amount of electronics, complete with a monitor at the top that displays Bash script; as the "high-speed kit" modification which improves the rate of fire changes the colors of the electronics on the side, they appear to assist in feeding the weapon. The large muzzle brake, drum magazine, side-mounted handle and use of small-caliber grenades bears some resemblance to the [[Norinco QLZ-87]] automatic grenade launcher, though unlike the QL, the barrel is reciprocating, implying recoil operation instead of the gas operation of the QLZ. Instead of the drum being replaced when reloading, the side of the drum opens up and the Courier inserts in a disc-shaped rack of grenades, which is presumably kept in the ammo storage on their back. The Grenade Machinegun is a fairly powerful late game explosive weapon in comparison to the Missile Launcher or Fatman, a high damage but relatively controllable death machine capped by the rarity of 25mm ammo in the wastes.

The unique variant, "Mercy", can be found in Dead Wind Cavern. Apparently a relic from before the nukes fell, it has "Hei Gui Bye Bye" spraypainted on its body (Hei Gui is the name of a group of Chinese commandos in the game) and is in an extremely rusty state, though it still has two-and-a-half times the durability of a standard grenade machinegun. It also rocks a rechambering to 40mm, drastically improving its damage and power at a cost of reduced ammo capacity and making it harder to keep this stocked up when playing on Hardcore due to how heavy 40mm ammo is.

=="25mm Grenade APW"*==
The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "25mm Grenade APW" (Anti-Personnel Weapon), a fictitious semi-automatic grenade launcher firing 25mm grenades from a six-round detachable box magazine. While fictional, the 25mm Grenade APW bears a very loose resemblance to some semi-auto shotguns, like the [[Remington 1100]]. Being a ''GRA'' weapon, it is only available from traders, being sold by the Gun Runners, the Boomers, Alexander at the 188 Trading Post, among others.

It serves as an interesting midway in the explosives category, doing slightly less damage than the 40mm launchers and not providing as much overall firepower as the Grenade Machinegun, but is lighter and more portable than either, while still retaining great lethality. The APW has three available modifications: "Upgraded Internals" which increases fire rate by 25%; a longer barrel, which doubles projectile velocity and range; and an 8-round extended magazine (called an "expanded drum", despite not actually being a drum magazine).

=Grenades & Explosives=
==M84 Stun Grenade*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the [[M84 stun grenade]] as the "Flash Bang". Unlike regular grenades, it deals fatigue damage and reduces enemy weapon skills.
[[File:M84-Flash-Bang-Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M84 stun grenade]]

[[Image:FNV Stun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier finds a M84 stun grenade in some rubble.]]

=="Frag Grenade"==
The fictional "Frag Grenades" returning from ''Fallout 3'' are heavily based on the Danish [[M23 Haanbombe]]. In-game, they can be found in boxes and crates in certain locations, looted from Recruit Legionaries, and bought from some merchants (including the Vendortron). The Frag Grenade is also an improved holdout weapon, meaning that any Courier with a Sneak skill of 50 or higher can take them into weapons-free zones, though their quality as a stealth weapon is obviously highly dubious.

Occasionally, the Courier will run into traps consisting of three frag grenades hanging from a ceiling, a setup that the game rather affectionately calls a "Grenade Bouquet". If the Courier has an Explosives skill of 30 or more, then they can retrieve these grenades for later use.

If the player has the Wild Wasteland trait, a box in the basement of Camp Searchlight's church that normally contains mini-nukes will instead contain three unique "Holy Frag Grenades", identical to the regular grenades except for a white cross painted onto the body. Compared to the standard frag grenade, the Holy Frag Grenade has a far larger and more damaging explosion, and leaves radiation in its wake, much like a mini-nuke. The Holy Frag Grenades as a whole, as well as the text found near to them on a box, are a reference to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''.

This does not, however, explain where the pins come from when the Courier takes these grenades for their own personal use. Perhaps the Explosives skill requirement to disarm a rather rudimentary trap gives the Courier the resources to fashion new pins.]]

==AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade==
The game's "Incendiary Grenade", while somewhat generic, seems to be an [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]] with a black-and-orange coloration. Its markings claim it is an "AN-2051 INCENDIARY GRENADE", as well as a "MODEL 0531". The incendiary grenade can be found in several locations, though it isn't as widespread as the Frag Grenade. Like other grenades, the Incendiary Grenade is an improved holdout weapon.

==M112 C4 Demolition Charge==
The in-game C4 charges are composed of 4 US-issue M112 C4 charges held together with tape. In-game, they are quite powerful, and can be found in several locations, albeit in small numbers. While the player requires a detonator to set them off normally, one is not absolutely necessary, as the in-game C4 can erroneously be detonated by gunfire, something which does not happen with actual C4.

[[File:FNV C4 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier uses a detonator to set off several C4 charges, with spectacular results.]]

==TM-46 Anti-Tank Mine==
The "Frag Mine", a recoloured and shrunken [[TM-46 anti-tank mine]], returns from the previous game. It functions more or less the same as it did in ''Fallout 3'', producing a small explosion after beeping for a few seconds when a target gets close enough, the duration and proximity for detection depending on the Courier's Explosives skill. Mines planted as traps can be found in a variety of locations, sometimes hidden under corpses or other objects.

In ''Dead Money'', another variant of the TM-46 appears; it is known as the "Demolition Charge", and must be bought from Sierra Madre vending machines for 75 chips each after the appropriate holotape is found. Compared to the more common Frag Mine, Demo Charges feature a negligibly higher amount of damage and no Explosives skill requirement, but are also three times as heavy, weighing 1.5 pounds instead of 0.5. It also has a different skin, sporting a yellower body with diagonal black stripes along the sides and a partially-obscured radiation symbol on top (though the charge does not afflict any radiation damage).

=Other=
==Fictional AA Gun==
A fictional type of anti-aircraft gun, seemingly based on the [[80 cm Kanone (E)|''Schwerer Gustav'' 80cm railway gun]] and heavily scaled down, is seen in pre-war emplacements on Hoover Dam. Additionally, the fixed artillery pieces found at the X-7a site at Big MT in ''Old World Blues'', which can be used to fire a Saturnite round at the X-7b site, seem to be a variant of the AA gun, being constructed of some of the same parts.

=="Flamer"==
The fictitious "Flamer" flamethrower returns from ''Fallout 3''. Due to the Big Guns skill no longer existing, it is classed as an Energy Weapon. Its model is identical to the ''Fallout 3'' version, and so again seems to be based on the [[M9 Flamethrower|M9A1-7 Flamethrower]], with a backpack similar to that of the [[M2 Flamethrower]]. In-game, it is found in a few locations, including two of The Strip's casinos (the Gomorrah and the Ultra Luxe), in the Silver Rush, on the Fiend leader Cook-Cook, in Vaults 3 and 22, and on the Marked Man Blister in Lonesome Road. The Flamer has one modification - "Expanded Tanks", which double its ammunition capacity. Low damage, high rate of ''fire'' and usually defeating armor, if you can take the brunt of getting shot while using it, it's a messy but fun main arm for Energy Weapon builds.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant of the Flamer to the game, the "Cleansing Flame". Compared to the standard Flamer, it weighs more (22 pounds instead of 15), costs slightly more AP to use in VATS, does slightly less base damage, has a lower crit chance, and has a higher spread, but is more durable, holds 100 units of fuel (higher than the Flamer's base capacity, but lower than the Flamer with expanded tanks), and has a slightly longer after-burn effect that increases in both damage and duration with the user's Energy Weapons skill. Visually, it has 2 moderately-sized fuel tanks and 1 smaller pressure tank (rather than the 2 small fuel tanks and one large pressure tank of the standard version), a narrower nozzle, three orange fuel lines on the wand (rather than the single black one of the normal Flamer), and a distinctive blue flame effect.

==M101 Howitzer==
Somewhat oversized M101 Howitzers appear in a few locations in the game, notably at Nellis AFB and The Fort. The one at the Fort is broken, and the Legion sidequest "I Hear You Knocking" has the player go to Nellis AFB to retrieve a replacement firing mechanism.

==Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun==
The [[Red Ryder]] returns from ''Fallout 3'', again as the "BB Gun". Markings on the loader claim it to be a "Raider BB Rifle". It is the weakest ranged weapon in the game - which makes sense, it being a toy rather than an actual weapon. It has a capacity of 100 BBs instead of the real gun's 650, and its accuracy is somewhat poor. It can be found in a variety of locations, including (but not limited to): toy boxes, the Nellis schoolhouse, a shack at the top of Coyote Mines, Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals, a house in Nipton, the Great Khan armorer (sometimes), and Coach's office in ''Old World Blues''. Amusingly enough, despite being an airgun firing BBs, it it still considered a firearm by the game, and is thus capable of certain odd things, such as igniting flammable vapors with its nonexistent muzzle blast.

The unique variant of the weapon, the "Abilene Kid LE BB Gun", is visually identical to the base version visually except for a marking on the stock denoting it as part of a 200-strong limited edition. It is nearly identical statistics-wise to the standard BB Gun, save for better durability, a slightly higher crit chance (1.5 instead of 1), and secretly boasts an extremely high critical damage boost, bumping it from a base damage of 4 to a whopping 70 on a critical hit (compared to the standard variant's critical damage of 6.2 and higher than any weapon in the game except for the Brush Gun, Medicine Stick, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Paciencia and Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.); furthermore, with the correct perks, this can be raised all the way to 157. The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun can be found in Fields' Shack, or in Jimmy's Well if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait (which is located directly in front of Fields' Shack).

[[Image:FalloutNewVegasUltimateEditionCoverPC.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition'' (2012). The game and all its DLC was released together as the Ultimate Edition in February 2012.]]

'''''Fallout: New Vegas''''' is the fourth installment in the long-running ''Fallout'' series. The game takes place in a post-apocalyptic Nevada, roughly four years after (but not influenced by) the events of the previous title, ''[[Fallout 3]]''. It was developed by Obsidian Entertainment (''[[Alpha Protocol]]'') and published by Bethesda in 2010. The game is available for the PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3. [[Ron Perlman]], [[Danny Trejo]], [[Kris Kristofferson]], and [[Matthew Perry]] can be found among the voice actors of the game.

The game follows the story of Courier 6, who is ambushed while carrying a mysterious package bound for New Vegas at the behest of Mr. House, the reclusive ruler of the city. Shot in the head, Courier 6 survives and soon finds themself wrapped up in the oncoming battle between the New California Republic and a band of slavers from Arizona and Colorado known as Caesar's Legion.

A host of DLC were released for the game, which were then collected into the ''Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition''. The first, ''Dead Money'', revolves around a long-planned casino heist in the Sierra Madre, a famous casino locked since the Great War. ''Honest Hearts'' takes place in the post-War Zion National Park and, among other things, adds a new caliber to the game, .45 ACP. ''Old World Blues'' takes place at the scientific research facility Big Mountain or the Big MT. The final regular DLC, ''Lonesome Road'', adds backstory for the main character, Courier 6, as well as taking place in the ruins of various military installations in the towns of Hopeville and Ashton. A fifth pack, ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'', did not add any story content, but instead added a host of weapons to various vendors around the game. The sixth, ''Courier's Stash'', also did not add any new story content, nor technically any new content at all, but instead made the pre-order exclusive item packs available to everyone.

''Fallout: New Vegas'' has a very in-depth ammunition system. The player can reload ammo, and there are many variants of each ammunition type. For a list, see the [[Talk:Fallout: New Vegas|discussion page]]. Director Joshua Sawyer, via his account on the now defunct Formspring (an archive of which can be found [https://rpgcodex.net/forums/threads/an-archive-of-josh-sawyers-formspring-from-april-2010-through-march-2013-over-1-mb-of-text.128571/ here]) has confirmed several details about the firearms the game's weapons are based on among the many questions he has answered.

(*) indicates that the weapon was added in DLC.

{{VG Title}}
__TOC__ 

=Handguns=
As an interesting note for the three "hammered" handguns (the Hi-Power and the two Colts): upon drawing the weapon, they will have an uncocked hammer. The first trigger pull is therefore technically in double-action mode; afterward, each subsequent shot the entire time the handgun is equipped is in single-action. While this is not correct for any of the three single-action handguns, it's still a nice touch.

==Browning Hi-Power==
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] appears as the "9mm Pistol", made by a fictional "M&A Guns Manufacturers" according to the slide legends. It can be modified with a short-range scope and a 20-round magazine. It weighs 1.5 pounds, lower than the 2.2 of the real thing. It's the most common gun in the game, standard issue to most factions like the NCR and given to the player by Doc Mitchell at the start of the game, unless the player rolled their stats into another skill beyond Guns. The standard Hi-Power is seen in the hands of series mascots Vault Boy and Vault Girl in various perk icons, and is used by Vault Boy on the achievement icon for the quest "You'll Know it When It Happens". It also appears in NCR propaganda posters. The Hi-Power is a very adequate firearm, with mediocre damage and accuracy that benefits from its high capacity (and thus DPS against lightly/unarmored opponents) and how common 9mm ammo is, but still leads to it getting replaced quickly for better sidearms.

A unique version called "Maria", based on the factory-engraved "Renaissance" model with grips painted with Our Lady of Guadalupe, is carried by Benny (voiced by Matthew Perry), which he uses to execute the Courier in the opening FMV. The player can later acquire it from him (either by killing him or pickpocketing it from him, the latter allows the player to complete the "Talk About Owned" challenge by killing Benny with Maria). Besides being fashionable, Maria boasts a higher fire rate, damage per shot and accuracy over the normal 9mm pistol at a cost of not allowing mods to be attached.

[[File:FalloutNVhipowerposter.jpg|600px|thumb|none|While wandering Camp McCarren, the Courier finds a NCR poster warning soldiers about sexually transmitted diseases that features an image of a Hi-Power, which appears to be a render of its in-game model. This poster is derived from [https://rarehistoricalphotos.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/american-propaganda-posters-world-war-two-46.webp a US World War II poster] proclaiming "VD is not Victory", which featured an original [[M1911]] instead.]]

[[File:FalloutNV9mmMaria.jpg|600px|thumb|none|The Courier, in an ironic twist of fate, holds Benny's own "Maria" on him while visiting Benny at The Fort.]]

==Ruger Vaquero/Colt Single Action Army==
The ".357 Magnum Revolver" appears to blend elements of the [[Colt Single Action Army]], the [[Ruger Vaquero]], and various other SAA replicas. Like the Vaquero, the cylinder can be moved without the hammer being half-cocked, uses a transfer bar instead of a firing pin, and the cylinder can rotate in either direction. However, it shares similarities with the Colt, such as the three pins on the frame, where the Vaquero only has two. The base gun appears to have a 5" barrel, but can be modified with a 7.5" barrel that increases the damage by +3, as well as an engraved "heavy duty" cylinder which increases its maximum condition by +50%. It weighs 2 pounds, which is appropriate for its initial barrel length, but is not affected by the barrel length upgrade. A Single Action Army also appears on the boxart and title screen, with slight differences due to these images being illustrations instead of using the game's 3D model.

The .357 Magnum Revolver is a very common lower tier gun, used by everyone from Powder Gangers to NCR Patrol Rangers and is one of the first revolvers and magnum caliber guns the player will get. Decent damage and accuracy tempered by middling returns on power and a slow reload as you'd expect from a gate loader.

A unique version called "Lucky" can be found in a safe in the Bison Steve casino in Primm, with a club symbol on ivory grips and an engraved black-and-gold finish. "Lucky" is the fastest-firing revolver in the game. It serves as a high-level eater of .357 Magnum ammo, with its fast ROF and increased damage muted only by its 6-round capacity.

[[File:FNV True Police Stories.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A loading screen prominently features several of the game's skill magazines, a copy of "True Police Stories" (which boosts the Courier's crit chance by 5%) front and center. This magazine's cover, which seems to feature some sort of SAA-type revolver, is actually derived from a cover for the 1945 movie ''Dick Tracy, Detective''.]]

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', renamed the ".44 Magnum Revolver" as it no longer has a scope by default. The .44 is a relatively common find at higher levels, carried by some Legionaries, Gomorrah lieutenant Cachino, some Fiends, and Old Ben in Freeside. Raul Tejada ([[Danny Trejo]]), former ''vaquero'' and vagrant handyman, carries one as his signature weapon. The .44 Magnum is as powerful as it was in ''Fallout 3'' and can be used more freely now that it lacks the scope. The scope is still available as a modification, plus a "heavy frame" that gives the gun a matte finish and bright S&W rosewood grips. It weighs 3.5 pounds, rounded down from its real counterpart. Incorrectly, the Model 29 uses the Pip-Boy icon for the [[Smith & Wesson Model 2 Double Action]] from ''Fallout 3'', which does not appear in ''New Vegas''.

The unique version of the Model 29 is known as the "Mysterious Magnum" and features a nickel-plated finish with engravings, a mother of pearl grip, and a mysterious tune that plays whenever the pistol is drawn or holstered. The Mysterious Magnum is carried by the Lonesome Drifter, who can be found by a Sunset Sarsaparilla billboard near the El Dorado Dry Lake, and can be acquired from him during the quest "Talent Pool". The Mysterious Magnum has a faster fire rate, better accuracy, increased critical hit damage but a lower durability stat, but is still a very powerful and frankly stylish high level sidearm. A version of the Mysterious Magnum with extremely buffed damage is also used by the Mysterious Stranger. The Mysterious Magnum appears to have a blocked barrel (due to the bore on the default .44 Magnum being a texture) which can be seen when reloading it.

=="12.7mm Pistol"==
The "12.7mm Pistol" is a fictitious pistol chambered for the also fictitious 12.7mm round (the in-universe equivalent to .50 AE or .50 Beowulf). It is based on the "SIG-Sauer 14mm Pistol" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'', though the magazine is inserted into the grip instead of being housed in front of the trigger like the original 14mm. Like the original design, it is roughly a 50% ultra-chunky [[Hämmerli 280]] (now minus the separate magwell) and 50% the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|"LAPD 2019 Blaster"]] from the movie ''[[Blade Runner]]'', though a standalone gun even closer to the ''Blade Runner'' weapon exists too. Its only modification is a suppressor. The pistol's grip also has a loose similarity to that of the Finnish [[Jatimatic]] submachine gun. The 12.7mm Pistol is as rare as its ammo, found in Bloodborne Cave and carried by NCR troops at Hoover Dam as well as NCR Ranger Presidential Guards. While it needs a high Strength and Guns skill to properly use, the 12.7mm's power is one to be reckoned with, piercing flesh and armor alike with ease and making it a solid choice for a high-level sidearm when armor's a problem.

A unique variant was added with the ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC, named "Lil' Devil". This unique compact variant has a shorter barrel and synthetic black grips, as well as a dark matte finish. Lil' Devil, besides being an adorable name for a sidearm, is better than the standard 12.7mm in almost every way, from damage to the fact it can be snuck into Strip casinos. The only disadvantage is that it can't be fitted with a silencer.

=="10mm Pistol"==
The "10mm Pistol" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. As in that game, it is loosely based on a [[Desert Eagle|Magnum Research Desert Eagle]]. The 10mm is a very common weapon, sold and carried by many merchants, Vault 19 Powder Gangers, and many members of the Kings. Unlike the Browning and two Colt pistols, it seems to operate entirely in double action. It can be modified with a laser sight, suppressor, and extended magazine. The 10mm is a reliable sidearm for the mid point of the game, with higher damage and DPS than the standard 9mm offerings alongside decent mods to keep it in the power band long enough to be useful.

The pre-order bonus "Classic Pack", also included in the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, adds the "Weathered 10mm Pistol"; aside from the different skin, it features slightly higher damage and durability at the cost of not being a holdout weapon.

==LAPD 2019 'Blaster'==
The [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]] from ''[[Blade Runner]]'' makes a return to the ''Fallout'' series. Called "That Gun" in-game, in reference to "That Gun from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]''", the .223 Pistol. Like its predecessor, it chambers 5.56x45mm NATO and can also chamber .223, which wears out the gun slower at the cost of less damage. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a non-unique variant of this weapon, called the "5.56mm Pistol". "That Gun" can be purchased from Cliff Briscoe in Novac or stolen from the back room. The 5.56mm Pistol is more than just old ''Fallout'' nostalgia, but a potent side-grade pistol for mid to high level players. Sure it's not fast firing, but 5.56 AP is very common and very effective for pesky Legionnaires.

The handgun is useable to complete two movie-related challenges (tasks the player can complete to earn XP). "Benefit or a Hazard" refers to the film the gun originated in, ''Blade Runner'', and requires the Courier (fittingly) to kill robots with the pistol, while "Dyin' Ain't Much of a Livin'" (a reference to Clint Eastwood's line to a bounty hunter in ''[[The Outlaw Josey Wales]]'') requires the Courier kill members of enemy faction hit squads with "Cowboy" themed weapons (which includes all revolvers and lever-action weapons, including the decidedly un-Western 5.56mm).

==Ruger 22/45==
The [[Ruger 22/45]] appears as the "Silenced .22 Pistol". It has an integral sliencer and will not alert enemies (who have not been shot) of the player's presence. It will not dismember on hit and does less damage to limbs. It is also one of the two guns players can always sneak into casinos regardless of their sneak skill, the other being the Police Pistol. The .22 Pistol is very common, being found in Camp McCarran, the Vikki and Vance Casino, as well as being sold by Mr. Holdout on the Strip; one will always be used to kill the White Glove Society member Chauncey during "Beyond the Beef," even if something would physically prevent the bullets from reaching him (such as a party member).

[[Image:FalloutNV22pistol-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier aims his Ruger 22/45 at an old wall.]]

==Colt New Service*==
The [[Colt New Service]] appears in the first ''New Vegas'' DLC, ''Dead Money'', as the "Police Pistol", and deviates from the real revolver in that it chambers .357 Magnum in-game. The Courier will cock the hammer after every shot, but the first round fired from the pistol will be in double-action. The inclusion of this revolver is a reference to ''[[The Treasure of the Sierra Madre]]'', which was a major influence for the DLC alongside the Japanese suspense film ''[[Battle Royale]]''.

The weapon is extremely useful in ''Dead Money'' due to its very high critical hit ratio, mostly for killing unconscious Ghosts, the zombie-like residents of the Sierra Madre. The New Service can be found in surprising numbers around the Sierra Madre in various containers, as well as in Dean Domino's Secret Stashes. It weighs 3 pounds, which is significantly higher than its real weight of 2.3.

This is because the New Service's model reuses parts from the S&W M29 such as its cylinder and frame.]]

[[File:Fnvnewservice-9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier shows off his Police Pistol while decked out in Sierra Madre Security armour.]]

==Magnum Research BFR==
The [[Magnum Research BFR]] appears as the "Hunting Revolver", chambered in .45-70 Govt'. Unlike the real BFR, which is a single action only revolver that feeds from a loading gate, the Hunting Revolver is a double action revolver that feeds through a swing-out cylinder. It always has an unremovable scope. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant which can accept modifications; this includes a 6-shot cylinder and a match barrel, decreasing weapon spread. The Hunting Revolver can be found in a variety of places; carried by the mercenary Orris in Freeside, at the campfire in Bloodborne Cave, and tucked away in the REPCONN Test Site. The Hunting Revolver is a solid way to tap into your early .45-70 reserves, with high raw damage and a scope to let you select and delete heads with ease.

The Ranger Sequoia is a unique scopeless version given to NCR Rangers, with a black finish, gold engraving, the NCR bear and Ranger symbol on the wood grip, a brass plate reading "20 Years" on the underside, and "For Honorable Service" and "Against All Tyrants" engraved on the different sides of the barrel. The Ranger Sequoia is much rarer, found on some NCR Veteran Rangers as well as their commander, Chief Hanlon ([[Kris Kristofferson]]); his can be acquired during the quest "Return to Sender," depending on its resolution. The Ranger Sequoia is one of the game's most powerful weapons, with a higher damage, rate of fire and even crit chance than the normal Hunting Revolver and with no scope to stop you from whipping this thing out.

==Colt M1911A1*==
The ''Honest Hearts'' DLC introduces the [[M1911A1]] as the ".45 Auto Pistol". Joshua Graham describes the gun as "designed by one of my tribe almost four hundred years ago", referring to fellow LDS follower John Moses Browning. The Dead Horses, and most tribes in Zion, make extensive use of it. After beating the main questline of Honest Hearts, .45 Auto ammunition, and the weapons which fire it, are carried by the Gun Runners outside New Vegas; the weapons themselves are never used by NPCs outside the Park, however. The .45 Auto Pistol can take two upgrades: the HD Slide improves the weapon's durability, while the suppressor eliminates the gun's report. After these upgrades, the pistol resembles a [[Colt XSE]]. At one point, the in-game iron sights were going to be an upgrade, with the gun having default, more traditional M1911 sights; this ended up being cut, and the upgraded 3-dot sights are permanent on the default weapon in the final game. The M1911 used by Follows-Chalk still has the original iron sights, but it is normally unobtainable. It correctly holds 7 rounds.

The M1911A1 is a powerful weapon, with damage output on par with the 12.7mm Pistol and (illogically) vastly outperforming the 10mm pistol. It is the most powerful holdout weapon compatible with a suppressor, but ammo is hard to come by outside of Zion, as .45 ACP can only be obtained by purchasing it from certain merchants or reloading. It weighs 1.5 pounds, quite light for a 1911 variant (for reference, an original M1911 weighs about 2.3). Follows-Chalk mentions that Joshua tells him the M1911A1's cartridge “Won the West”; this seems to be a misplaced reference to the .45 Long Colt.

==Colt New Agent*==
Joshua Graham from the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC carries a unique .45 Auto pistol, a [[M1911|Colt New Agent]] with a snakeskin-pattern grip and Greek script engraved into the slide. The script ("καὶ τὸ φῶς ἐν τῇ σκοτίᾳ φαίνει" on the right side and "και η σκοτια αυτο ου κατελαβεν" on the left side) is a quote from the Bible (John 1:5) ''"And the light shineth in darkness and the darkness comprehended it not"'', from which the weapon's name, "A Light Shining in Darkness", is derived. In keeping with this name, the slide glows in the dark, making it easier to use in poorly lit caves and ruins. It holds 6 rounds of .45 Auto in its magazine.

Despite the decreased ammo capacity, A Light Shining in Darkness is in every other way superior to the base .45 Auto, having higher damage, reduced weight, a faster rate of fire, and increased crit chance and damage. Really the only negative is the guttersnipe sights and the lack of a suppressor, but that didn't stop Joshua using it.

==Brescia Model 00*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds a visually-altered Italian WWII-era Brescia Model 00, appearing simply as the "Flare Gun". Many Marked Men have it (and, in some cases, are scripted to fire it into the air, presumably signaling for help), and some emergency kits do as well. Bizarrely, while the animations suggest that the weapon fires ordinary flares, it actually consumes 10 units of flamethrower fuel per shot; as a consequence, it is oddly classed as an energy weapon in-game. Even more bizarrely, the Flare Gun is also an improved holdout weapon, perfect for dealing with the ever present danger of Deathclaw attacks on the Strip.

As an in-game weapon, it cannot be used for any sort of signaling, but can be used to do damage to (and ignite) enemies from a distance - provided, that is, that the player can compensate for the arc-type trajectory of the flares. However, its main advantage is its ability to frighten away abominations - even the mighty Deathclaw is terrified by flares.

==Ruger GP100==
While not usable in-game, a [[Ruger GP100]] appears on the cover of the "Guns and Bullets" skill book, which permanently raises the user's Guns skill by 3 points.

==Shansi Type 17==
Similarly, while the [[Shansi Type 17]] can't be used in-game, it still makes an appearance, being one of the unusable weapons in Mick's weapon stash in the back of Mick & Ralph's. It is exactly the same model as the one used in ''[[Fallout 3]]''.
[[Image:C96-10.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Shansi Type 17 - .45 ACP]]

=Submachine Guns=
=="10mm Submachine Gun"==
The "10mm Submachine Gun" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]'', and is again essentially a [[Browning M2HB]] receiver reversed and put into a package similar to the defunct [[Heckler & Koch SMG]] prorotype, along with a pistol grip and trigger guard reminiscent of the [[Thompson]] line of submachine guns. It can be found on many mid-level humanoid mobs such as Jackal gang members and members of the Kings. It can also be found as level-adjusted loot in gun lockers once the player reaches a high enough level.

Although the in-game description for the 10mm SMG lists a high DPS, it shares the common weakness of most shotguns and automatic weapons in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' in that much of its theoretical power is negated by the new Damage Threshold system. In addition to losing much of its damage, the high spread of this weapon requires the player to be at close ranges for all of the rounds fired to impact on the target. Despite this, if the player does manage to get into close range via stealth or ambushing it can be a powerful weapon against unarmored enemies.

It can be modified with a 40-round magazine and a recoil compensator.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as "Sleepytyme", which has an integral suppressor, greater damage, and a higher rate of fire. It is also a holdout weapon that can be carried into casinos and is the only automatic holdout weapon available.
[[File:BrowningM2_plain.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG]]

[[File:FalloutNewVegas10mm_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The in-game model for the 10mm SMG. Note the two selector switches pointing opposite directions above the pistol grip, a setup presumably based on the aforementioned Thompson; assuming that these markings are HK-style pictograms, the rear one (which would be rather awkward to operate) has one "safe" position and two "fire" ones (with the top one selected), while the front seemingly has 3-round burst, 4-round burst (selected), and a six-notch setting that presumably represents full-auto. While it could be argued that the rear selector offers safe, semi-auto, and a position that can be either burst or full-auto depending on the front switch's setting (akin to the dual-switch setup on the [[FAMAS F1]]), this idea is somewhat undermined by the two "fire" markings being completely identical.]]
[[File:10mm SMG with extended mag and recoil comp.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The 10mm SMG fitted with an extended magazine and a recoil compensator. It's not entirely clear how the latter attachment is actually attached, given that the weapon's muzzle (shown above, and seemingly based on the M2's buffer tube given its placement) is a smooth, tapered tube with no threads or notches; given its placement, it appears to be just ''barely'' attached at all, overlapping almost none of the barrel.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier holds his 10mm SMG.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then reloads it, wondering why it has what seems to be an unusable underfolding stock (which could never be unfolded with the magazine in place). After swapping mags, the Courier then "pulls" the weapon's charging handle; the handle doesn't actually move, presumably because it's placed all the way at the end of its slot - since the receiver was modeled off of a Browning M2 with the bolt forward, its reversal puts the bolt all the way back, with no space for it to be pulled further.]]
[[File:FalloutNV10mmSMG-3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the weapon in third-person. The right side is more or less exactly the same as the left.]]

[[File:FalloutNVSleepytyme.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Out on the streets, the Courier holds "Sleepytyme".]]

==M3 "Grease Gun"==
An [[M3 Grease Gun]] chambered for 9mm rounds appears as the "9mm Submachine Gun". It has a heavily shortened barrel and is scaled down so it can be held one-handed. It can be modified with drum magazines that increase ammo capacity by 30 rounds and a "light bolt" that increases the rate of fire. The 9mm SMG is fairly common, with the player being able to acquire one right at the start of the game with a high enough Repair skill. Its standard 30-round magazine and easy-to-find 9mm ammo make it one of the better starter weapons, but it loses its effectiveness once armor gets involved due to low damage and the thin 30 rounder mags.

The unique variant, "Vance's 9mm Submachine Gun", can be acquired by completing an unmarked quest to track it down after it was stolen from a casino dedicated to fictitious criminals Vikki & Vance, the latter of which owned the gun. Vikki & Vance are stated to have been contemporaries of Bonnie & Clyde, making their use of an M3 anachronistic by about ten years. Vance's 9mm SMG comes with a pristine black finish, wood or bakelite grips, no stock, and express-type sights. While like a majority of unique variants it cannot be modified, it comes with 60-round magazines and a rate of fire inbetween the default 9mm SMG and it with the light bolt modification, in addition to the usual unique variant upgrades. Increased damage, hit probability and the weird in-between rate of fire so you can spray wildly and actually hit what you're aiming at, a perfect way to spend your 9mm stocks late game.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "H&H Tools Nail Gun" as a weapon. The Nail Gun bears a striking resemblance to the M3, featuring a very similar profile and layout, even having the M3's crank lever and replacing the M3's ejection port with a safety switch. Should you find enough nails in either The Divide or the Mojave, keep them for this. Sure it's not as powerful as either of its original versions, but the double damage to limbs makes this an entertaining way to stop an annoying enemy from shooting you.

==American-180==
The [[American-180]] appears in-game as the "Silenced .22 SMG". It lacks a stock and is integrally suppressed. In-game, it uses 180-round magazines which can be replaced with a larger pan magazine that holds 240 rounds, both of which are not available for the gun's real life counterpart. The American 180 can be found on Gomorrah Bank Guards and Fiend raiders in Vault 3.

Both it and the stocks of .22 necessary to keep it running aren't particularly common, but combo the two and you have a delightfully silly gun for any combat encounter where any enemy can be dropped in a endless swarm of .22 caliber bees.

==Thompson Submachine Guns==
Two variants of the Thompson SMG series appear in game, one as an energy weapon, the other as a conventional slug-thrower.

===M1928 Thompson===
An [[M1928 Thompson]]-inspired energy weapon appears as the "Laser RCW" (Rapid Capacitor Weapon, according to the game's director Josh Sawyer). It holds 60 Electron Charge Packs in a drum and can be modified with a Recycler attachment, which replenishes 1 shot per 4 fired. In addition, on the rear portion of the receiver, it has a rail-top carry handle based on the H&K [[G36C]]'s.

The RCW is a fairly common energy weapon, used by Fiends, Brotherhood of Steel scribes, and members of the Bright Brotherhood found scattered across the waste or at REPCONN. Using the somewhat uncommon ECP packs and allowing for a recycler to maximize its charge, the RCW is a proto-Minigun and a good high ROF weapon for an early to mid game Energy Weapons build that lets you ditch a Recharger Rifle and have something to panic spray middling damage at.

Though not usable, normal M1928s appear on the cover for the "Milsurp Review" skill magazine, which temporarily raises the player's Guns skill by 10.

===M1A1 Thompson*===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the ".45 Auto Submachine Gun", introduced in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It can be modified with a Cutts compensator to reduce spread, as well as M1921/M1928 50-round drum magazines which somehow work with the M1A1's magazine well. The weapon is used heavily by the White Legs tribe, who call them "storm drums," and is stocked by a variety of traders in the Mojave following the completion of the DLC's campaign.

The .45 Auto SMG is a powerful SMG on par with the 12.7mm SMG, with a high rate of fire combined with powerful rounds, but tempered by rather poor accuracy. The weapon incorrectly fires in a closed bolt manner due to it reusing animations for other autoloading firearms.

=="12.7mm Submachine Gun"==
The heavy-hitter of the submachine gun category, the "12.7mm submachine gun", while largely fictional, has some distinct features from some real-world weapons, using a top-mounted 21-round magazine that lies flat along the top of the weapon, rather like that of an [[FN P90]] (interestingly, the rear sight is mounted to this magazine, rather like the [[Calico]] series), and what appears to be a [[TDI Vector]]-style offset recoil system (which, given the caliber, would probably be necessary). It can be found on the Legion's Veteran Decanii, and other high-ranking officials, as well as some of their assassins and vexillarius at higher levels, high-level White Legs in ''Honest Hearts'', and both high-level marked men and Ulysses in ''Lonesome Road''; one can also be found in Bloodborne Cave, and can be bought from some weapon merchants and the Great Khans at higher levels, as well as the Vendortron, and occasionally Knight Torres.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a version that can be customized further than the one in the base game - while the standard version can accept a suppressor (which, like the [[PGM Hecate II]]'s suppressor, reduces enemies' ability to hear the weapon, rather than eliminating it), the ''GRA'' version can also be fitted with a laser sight (which increases accuracy), and a "Stacked Magazine" (which raises the capacity from 21 rounds to 27). The 12.7mm SMG is the best submachine gun in the game, due to the extremely powerful 12.7mm round. It shreds through light, medium and heavy armor and can take down high-end enemies like Rangers, Deathclaws and Paladins within a few mags. However, the scarcity of the ammo plus the relatively small magazine somewhat limits the 12.7mm SMG's power.

=Rifles=
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]] appears as the "Assault Carbine". It is chambered for the fictional 5mm round (also used by the Minigun) and is the fastest firing rifle in the base game, tied with the LMG. It has a 24-round magazine by default (although the magazine itself is modelled after a 20-round one), but can be upgraded with a 30-round magazine. It, along with the other AR-15 derivatives below, lacks a charging handle on the rear of the carry handle, instead having a knob located directly on the bolt on the right side. The Assault Carbine can be found in many former military installations in the Mojave such as Vault 34 as well as the Nellis Air Force Base. Companion Lily Bowen's personal Assault Carbine is fitted with a suppressor, which is not available as a mod for either of the two playable Assault Carbine variants.

The Assault Carbine is a good armor breaker, allowing an easily aimed usage of 5mm ammo than the Minigun tempered by its still ridiculously fast fire rate. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant of the Assault Carbine with additional modifications; a "forged receiver" which increases the weapon's durability, a "light bolt" which increases rate of fire, and an extended magazine which raises its capacity to 30 rounds.

==Colt Model 933==
A [[Colt Model 933]] with a SIR railed foregrip, a Magpul PRS stock, and a low-power ACOG-style scope appears as the "Marksman Carbine". The Marksman Carbine is a somewhat uncommon weapon, with a few being located in Vault 34 and is purchasable from the Vendortron and Knight Torres in the Hidden Valley Bunker; it will, however, be frequently used by Legion assassins at high levels. It only holds 20 rounds, even though it is modelled with a 30-round magazine. The Marksman Carbine is a powerful carbine with some of the spicier 5.56 variants like HP or AP, capped mostly by how middling the damage is for 5.56 in-game.

The "All-American", the unique variant of the Marksman Carbine, is found only in the armory at the bottom of the irradiated, ghoul-infested Vault 34 located east of New Vegas. It has a woodland camo finish, a 24-round magazine (which is visually identical to the 20-round magazine on the base carbine), and an 82nd Airborne Division badge on the magazine well (although it tends to glitch and not show properly). The All-American is one of ''New Vegas'''s best scoped weapons, dealing accurate, high-damage shots without eating through rare ammunition. This damage can be further enhanced with the "Hand Loader" perk added with the ''Gun Runner's Arsenal'' DLC, which enables the creation of match 5.56 ammo that increases damage and accuracy with no downside.

==Colt M16A1==
An [[M16A1]] with wood furniture (''Fallout'''s world ran out of oil long ago) appears as the "Service Rifle". It is chambered for 5.56x45mm NATO and is semi-auto only. The upper receiver has a forward assist and a case deflector. While rarely seen due to the weapon's high durability and low jam rate even at poor condition, the jam animation involves one of the few instances of the forward assist actually being used in fiction. It can be modified with a "forged receiver" that increases its durability and "upgraded springs" that increase its fire rate. An aperture sight and bayonet are included in the files, but were not implemented. As the name suggests, the Service Rifle is standard issue to the NCR Military and can be found wherever NCR Army troops are or were stationed.

It's a terrifically average rifle that allows a phase-out of the Varmint Rifle as the player's generic long ranged 5.56 caliber rifle with better stats overall beyond a middling accuracy and lack of a suppressor option but making up for it with semi automatic firepower. Strangely, the Service Rifle can ''not'' normally be cannibalized for parts to repair the Assault Carbine or Marksman Carbine, even though in reality the three would share nearly all parts.

A unique Service Rifle chambered in 12.7mm called the "Survivalist's Rifle" appears in the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC. It was the weapon of a US Army serviceman who fled to Zion Canyon after the Great War. It features a blocky handguard somewhat reminiscent of the M16 LSW/LMG along with a shortened barrel similar to that of the Colt Model 605, but has numerous makeshift repairs along the body work and a damaged front sight. The English and French words "STOP!" and "ARRÊT!" are scrawled onto the stock of the weapon, a marking on the receiver reads "PROPERTY OF U.S. GOVT CHKPNT CARBINE 12.7MM CAL", and another marking above the trigger reads "LONG BRANCH ARSENAL ONTARIO, USA TERRITORY". The Survivalist's Rifle can be found on top of the Red Gate, next to the remains of the Survivalist himself. The Survivalist's Rifle lives up to its name - the accuracy of the standard Service Rifle combined with the power of the 12.7mm round are a lethal combination for any target, only capped by the damaged front sight hindering aiming (although in a roundabout way compensates for the game's slightly bugged iron sights system).

==PGM Hecate II==
The [[PGM Hecate II]] appears as the "Anti-Materiel Rifle". It is the first gun seen in the game; one is used during the opening FMV by an NCR Ranger to kill a Fiend countersniper. The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a variant that can be modified with a "carbon fibre body" which decreases weight, a "custom bolt" that increases rate of fire, and a suppressor which doesn't actually suppress gun noise but merely lowers and muffles the gun's extremely loud report to a more comfortable level. The Hecate appears very late in the game, sold by the Gun Runners or Knight Torres of the Brotherhood of Steel and only seen on Veteran Rangers, a few Legion troops and various DLC enemies.

The Hecate is a weapon intended for long-range shooting, easily able to pick through highly armored enemies including deathclaws, but has a slow fire rate, fires rare .50 BMG rounds, and requires a Strength of 8 and a Guns skill of 100 to even shoot properly. Because the Hecate II uses pre-existing animations shared with other bolt-action rifles, the Courier will hold the gun as if it had a rifle grip rather than by the PGM's pistol grip. According to project director Joshua Sawyer, the PGM Hecate II was modeled in the game for the .50 caliber rifle role because he thought [[Barrett]] rifles in other games were too repetitive.

=="Varmint Rifle"==
The "Varmint Rifle" is a fictitious bolt-action rifle with a 5-round detachable magazine. Originally, it was intended to use .22 LR rounds which were fed from a long, curved magazine, but this proved unpopular during play testing and was changed to 5.56mm rounds feeding from a small box magazine; some NPCs using the rifle still carry .22 LR rounds instead of 5.56mm. It can be upgraded with 8-round extended magazines, a night vision scope and a silencer. It is one of the first weapons available, as a free one is received from Sunny Smiles during the "Back in the Saddle" quest. It is a good starter rifle, boasting decent DPS and accuracy, but after armor is introduced, it becomes quickly obsolete. The combination of a scope and silencer remains unique for quite some time however.

The unique variant is called the "Ratslayer", which can be found in Broc Flower Cave. It has a black polymer stock featuring a stylized mole rat skull and 69 tally marks on the rear right. Should you manage to find this cave in the Level 9-12 range, you've picked up a delightful sidegrade rifle with an increased fire rate, damage and scope zoom to the fully modded Varmint Rifle and a very effective way to silently take down enemies at range until you get the suppressed Sniper Rifle.
[[Image:FalloutNewVegasVarmintrifle.jpg|thumb|500px|none|In-game model for the standard Varmint Rifle. Note that though the hole in the stock is inletted similar to a thumbhole, its placement would make using it as one somewhat uncomfortable due to a very thin grip. The grip itself also is at a rather steep angle, though this is likely to line it up better with animations shared with other guns.]]

==M1 Garand==
An [[M1 Garand]] rechambered for .308 rounds was supposed to appear in ''Fallout: New Vegas'' as the "Battle Rifle", but was cut from the final game. The unique variant of the Battle Rifle, however, was not cut and appears in the base game. Named "This Machine" (a reference to Woodie Guthrie's famous guitar sticker, which read "This Machine Kills Fascists"; seemingly as a response, the in-game weapon's stock is marked "Well This Machine Kills Commies"), it can be acquired by completing the unmarked quest "Dealing with Contreras". Both This Machine and the Battle Rifle weigh the correct 9.5 pounds for an M1 Garand.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC added the base Battle Rifle back into the game. The Battle Rifle can only be obtained from traders. The Battle Rifle serves as a semi-automatic .308 rifle to not so much replace the Hunting Rifle but give you more options. Decently accurate bar its high spread at range with a quick reload and decent damage, it's a good mid-game rifle. And This Machine keeps that going into the late game with more damage and crit chance to make use of that delightful .308 AP.

==Winchester 1886==
The [[Winchester 1886]] appears as the "Cowboy Repeater". It is chambered for .357 Magnum, and can be upgraded with an extended magazine tube that increases its capacity from 7 rounds to 11, a maple stock to reduce weight, and a "custom action" that engraves the receiver and increases rate of fire. The Cowboy Repeater is an early choice for subbing out the Varmint Rifle, doing more damage and using a more versatile cartridge than the Varmint tempered by how mediocre .357 gets against armor.

The unique variant is named "La Longue Carabine" (a reference to ''[[The Last of the Mohicans]]'') fitted with a scope, the extended magazine tube available for the base rifle, an engraved stock, and an octagonal barrel. It also lacks a loading gate, and as such recycles ''[[Fallout 3]]'''s reloading animations for the [[Henry 1860]], opening the muzzle-end of the magazine tube and then inserting rounds in. It is found on Corporal Sterling of the 1st Reconnaissance Battalion at Camp McCarran. Faster reload than the normal Repeater, faster fire rate and DPS combo'd with a scope, this thing was built to pop lightly armored Fiends.

==Marlin Model 336==
The [[Marlin Model 336]] appears as the "Trail Carbine", and fires .44 Magnum. It can be found in places such as Bonnie Springs or Red Rock Canyon. It can be modified with a scope. The Trail Carbine is mostly a straight upgrade over the Cowboy Repeater, with more damage and critical hit power and the ability to mount a scope as a mod. Don't knock it till you try it.

=="Hunting Rifle"==
The [[Winchester Model 70]]-inspired "Hunting Rifle" returns from ''[[Fallout 3]]''. Like its counterpart in ''Fallout 3'', it is a bolt-action rifle feeding from a five-round detachable magazine, but now has proper iron sights and chambers .308 Winchester. It can be modified with 10-round magazines, a "custom action" that cleans the bolt and reciever, as well as increasing rate of fire, and a 3.5x scope for long-range shooting. The rifle is fairly common in the hands of some NCR soldiers, Fiends, Legionaries, and other Wastelanders; a Fiend during the opening cutscene makes the incredibly poor choice of using one in an attempt to counter-snipe an NCR Ranger, which ends rather predictably. Companion Craig Boone uses a scoped version, the only companion weapon to have a modification installed (excluding Lily Bowen's Assault Carbine, though the suppressor on that rifle is unobtainable by the player). The Hunting Rifle is one of the perfect mid to high level rifles, serving as a sniping tool between varmint and sniper rifles. It's precise, reliable and good at dealing with anything short of a BoS Paladin or a Deathclaw.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "Paciencia" (Spanish for Patience) unique variant, which can be bought from Cliff Briscoe in Novac. It is cleaner than the regular rifle and lacks the makeshift repairs done to that version, as well as having a Mexican flag wrapped around the stock and a gold bead sight. Panciencia deals extra critical damage and has high reliability, but only has a three-round magazine (identical to the regular rifle's 5-round magazine). It also boasts a 3.5x zoom, despite only having iron sights. According to lead designer Josh Sawyer, this rifle was called "Paciencia" because its user "better make them (the three shots per magazine) count".

==Marlin Model 1895==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] appears as the "Brush Gun", firing .45-70 Gov't rounds out of a six-round tube magazine. Although it is said by Josh Sawyer, the game's lead designer, that it "is not based on one gun specifically, but guns like the [[Winchester Model 1886]] and Marlin Guide Gun", the Winchester influence only comes with the "forged receiver", the Brush Gun's only modification, which gives it the receiver of a Model 1886, as well as increasing the weapon's durability. It is a rare weapon, primarily used by NCR Veteran Rangers and Legion assassins. The Brush Gun is one of the best rifles in the game, with high power and decent accuracy with a plethora of flavors of custom ammo to sink the skill points you need to make this thing effectively into. Do not doubt how utterly busted the HP .45-70 is out of this thing.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant known as the "Medicine Stick" (presumably a reference to Theodore Roosevelt's [[Winchester Model 1895]] in .405 Winchester, which he called his "Big Medicine"). It features a much less intrusive ghost ring sight, a stainless steel or nickel finish on the reciever, and what appears to be a medicine wheel on its stock. The Medicine Stick is better in every way than the Brush Gun, albeit not as overwhelmingly as the other GRA weapons. That being said it's still a high powered and accurate boomstick with more accuracy and an easier to read sight picture.

=="Gauss Rifle"==
The "Gauss Rifle" returns from ''Fallout 3'''s ''Operation: Anchorage'' DLC, now sporting a buttplate on the stock. While fictional, the Gauss Rifle is rather clearly inspired by the [[Lahti L-39]] anti-tank rifle, particularly in the receiver area; it even retains the L-39's crank-type cocking handle (which is only used when the rifle "jams" by rotating it back into place). The weapon uses microfusion cells, of which it holds 5, and consumes 5 per shot, essentially making it a single-shot rifle. Bizarrely, while the weapon still does behave as a coilgun logically should, propelling ferromagnetic projectiles with electromagnetism, these projectiles (presumably contained in the weapon's side-mounted box magazine) are never replenished, and never run out. It is found on BoS Paladins, Y-17 Trauma Override Harnesses in ''Old World Blues'', and Father Elijah in ''Dead Money'', and can be bought from Knight Torres (provided the appropriate quests have been completed) and the Silver Rush. The Gauss Rifle is the sniper rifle option for characters using energy weapons, with very high damage outclassing even the Hecate II that will cause hilarious overkill on anything short of Deathclaws, though this damage can only be dealt slowly.

The unique variant of the Gauss Rifle, the "YCS/186" (a reference to Your Console Sucks, a Something Awful forum with the ID of 186) is found on a mercenary in a camp east of Brooks Tumbleweed Ranch (unless the trait Wild Wasteland is selected, where it is replaced with aliens and unavailable in normal gameplay). The YCS/186 uses only 4 MFCs per shot, does more damage, and is slightly more accurate than the Gauss Rifle, but is one pound heavier. Make of that what you will.

==Heckler & Koch G3==
An early-pattern [[G3]] (or, more precisely, the R91 Assault Rifle from ''[[Fallout 3]]''), while not a playable weapon in-game, appears on the "Commando" perk icon, as well as the "Aggressive" Companion wheel setting.

Additionally, the "Infiltrator" (a variant of the G3 with a longer magazine, no stock, a black synthetic forearm, and a suppressor) from the ''Fallout 3'' DLC ''The Pitt'' is visible in Mick's special weapon stash, but is also unusable.

=="Chinese Assault Rifle"==
A poster for Freddy Fear's House of Scares (seen in ''[[Fallout 3]]'') can be found in the El Rey Motel, and another can be found in a collapsed office building in the "Lonesome Road" DLC. This poster depicts several children dressed in the company's costumes, one of whom wields a rifle; while highly indistinct, given how the rifle appears to have an AK-style magazine and an [[RPD]]-like handguard, and that this costume is meant to be a Chinese soldier, it is reasonable to assume that it is supposed to represent the "Chinese Assault Rifle" from ''Fallout 3''.

The rifle itself also appears in the game in a non-usable form. During the quest "How Little We Know" the Courier may be tasked with destroying a weapons stockpile using thermite; amid the rubble is the front sight and muzzle of a Chinese Assault Rifle. The rifle's magazines also appear as the pickup model for 5.56mm rounds.

=="Sniper Rifle"==
The fictitious "Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout 3]]'' (based on the also fictitious "DKS-501 Sniper Rifle" from ''[[Fallout]]'' and ''[[Fallout 2]]'') returns. It is a semi-automatic rifle with a 3.5x scope and a five-round detachale magazine holding .308 rounds. It is rather rare, only being purchasable from a handful of merchants, or found in some rather out-of-the-way locations. It has two available modifications - a suppressor to reduce the weapon's report, and "carbon fiber parts", which impressively lower its weight from 8 pounds to 3. As the name implies, the Sniper Rifle is one of the best long-range weapons in the game, suffering only from a slow fire rate and low durability.

There is one unique variant of the Sniper Rifle in the base game, the Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle, which is found in a locked gun case in the Sniper's Nest near Cottonwood Cove. It has an extended magazine, a more solid thumbhole stock (rather than the odd partially-completed skeletal thumbhole stock of the standard variant), a slightly shortened barrel (in spite of the noticeably better accuracy), and a desert camouflage paint scheme. According to the game's lore, it was originally issued to the U.S. Armed Forces in the Gobi Desert campaign in China prior to the 2077 nuclear war (although how it then managed to wind up in a sniper's nest in the Mojave isn't particularly clear). Gameplay-wise, it has a lower weight (4.5 pounds), an extended magazine holding 6 rounds, slightly higher damage, a lower AP cost in VATS, a higher fire rate, better durability, better critical damage, and better accurate, with the only downside being the inability to accept mods.

The ''Old World Blues'' DLC added a second unique variant, "Christine's CoS Silencer Rifle". It is found in a decrepit building to the north of Little Yangtze. It has the highest damage of the 3 variants (not to mention the highest damage of any suppressed weapon, and the highest non-crit damage of anything chambering .308), a weight of 5.5 pounds, slightly better durability (though not as good as that of the Gobi rifle), and a critical chance multiplier of 2.5 (compared to the 2 of the other variants), at the cost of a higher AP cost in VATS, and the inability to accept mods (although it already has a suppressor and is only 2.5 pounds heavier than the Sniper Rifle with carbon fiber parts). The weapon was originally owned by Christine Royce of the Circle of Steel (hence the name), a sub-group within the Brotherhood of Steel, and was later left behind while she hunted for Elijah.

==M1903 Springfield==
While it is quite hard to spot, the model of the BB Gun's loader has a logo that features an [[M1903 Springfield]]. The weapon does not make any sort of physical appearance in-game.
[[File:M1903Mark1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mark 1 M1903 Springfield - .30-06]]

=Machine Guns=
=="Light Machine Gun"==
The "Light Machine Gun" consists of the receiver and stock of an [[M249]], and the handguard and barrel assembly from an [[M60]]. It also has some other non-standard features including a shortened stock (presumably to prevent clipping into character models when shouldered), a wooden carry handle, pistol grip and handguard, a differently designed front sight post, and a detachable 90-round magazine as opposed to a belt box. The last can be modified with the "expanded drums" upgrade to hold 200 rounds. The weapon's sights are a somewhat bizarre reversed notch setup. It can be found on a few high-level enemies, in the back of the Deathclaw-infested Quarry Junction, or purchased at a high enough level. Unlike the real M249, the LMG appears to fire from a closed bolt and its charging handle reciprocates when fired. The Light Machine Gun is a powerful weapon for players with a large supply of 5.56mm rounds, giving them a large magazine and a controllable rate of fire to allow them to fulfill their fantasies of being post-apocalyptic [[Rambo]].

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the fictitious, seemingly [[Barrett M82A1]]-inspired "Bozar", which previously appeared in ''Fallout 2'', though it lacks that version's bizarre 15-round burst. While ostensibly the unique variant of the Light Machine Gun, in practice the Bozar has nothing to do with the LMG outside of reusing its animations and being compatible with repairing the former when its condition has deteriorated enough, having a completely different design. The Bozar essentially acts as a fully-automatic long-range rifle, with a 2.43x scope and 30-round magazines. How viable that exactly ''is'' will be up to you.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle*==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] was added in ''Dead Money'', the first DLC for ''New Vegas'', as the "Automatic Rifle". It has a pistol grip and stock that resemble those on the Colt Monitor and European copies. This weapon is chambered in .308 ammunition and as such is the only fully automatic weapon in the game that utilizes this ammo. It can be modified with "upgraded internals" that increase its rate of fire by 10%. Interestingly, the menu icon for the BAR shows the bipod unfolded, whereas it is folded and unusable in the game itself. It is hidden in a number of locations around the Sierra Madre.

Rather bizarrely, it is the least accurate automatic weapon in the game, even worse than the SMGs. This problem is compounded by its small capacity magazines, low fire rate (even when upgraded), high weight at 16lbs (even beating out the LMG which is a pound lighter), and poor durability. Its only redeeming quality is its damage - the highest of any automatic weapon.

Also of note is the smaller magazine due to the rifle's in-game chambering of .308 Winchester and not the longer .30-06.]]

=Shotguns=
==Remington 870 Wingmaster==
The [[Remington 870|Remington 870 Wingmaster]] (with the magazine tube cap of a Winchester) appears as the "Hunting Shotgun". It can be upgraded with a choke to reduce spread and a "long tube" to increase ammunition capacity from 5 rounds to 8. The Hunting Shotgun is the most accurate non-unique 12 gauge shotgun in the game, allowing for greater accuracy and precision at the cost of a lower fire rate and magazine capacity compared to the Riot Shotgun, making it ideal for Magnum and Slug shells.

The unique version, "Dinner Bell", has synthetic camo furniture and is the most accurate shotgun in the game. Dinner Bell is a reward for the quest "Bleed Me Dry", given by Red Lucy, who runs The Thorn. The most accurate shotgun tip is not a joke, the Dinner Bell is a VERY accurate shotgun that makes very effective use of almost any custom ammo you can stuff in it. Slugs, CS, Magnum shells, you name it and this gun will pattern that blast directly into whatever you need dead.

==Over-and-Under Shotgun==
A 20 gauge over/under double-barrel shotgun called the "Caravan Shotgun" appears in game. Visually, it bears resemblance to a Winchester Model 101 and Otto Seelig brand Over/Unders. The "Caravan Shotgun" is commonly found on, fittingly, Crimson Caravan guards. The Caravan Shotgun is a decent weapon, being an almost direct upgrade over the Single Shotgun with moderately less accuracy at a cost of still being capped by the 20 gauge chambering.

Players who pre-ordered the 'Caravan Pack' version of ''New Vegas'' (or purchased the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC) acquired a "Sturdy Caravan Shotgun" at the start of the game. There is little difference visually aside from colors; gameplay-wise it has increased damage and durability at the cost of accuracy.

[[File:Fnvcaravan-1.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The model for the Sturdy Caravan Shotgun.]]

=="Riot Shotgun"==
The "Riot Shotgun" is a fictitious semi-automatic shotgun (bearing some very loose similarites to the [[Hawk shotgun series#Hawk Semi-Auto|Hawk Semi-Auto]]) chambered for 12 gauge rounds fed from a 12-round drum magazine. It is a rare find in the Mojave, usually being found on specific troops at Hoover Dam, or on Gomorrah Bank Guards.

The Riot Shotgun is far and away the fastest-firing shotguns in the game allowing you to send shells as fast as you think you need to. It's also one of the heaviest in the game, with a middling spread and damage alongside eating up a lot of 12 gauge ammo if you're not careful. That being said, great candidate to pair with the Shotgun Knockback perk.

==Winchester 1887==
A sawn-off [[Winchester Model 1887]] appears as the "Lever-action Shotgun". Unlike the real weapon, it is chambered for 20 gauge shells. It is not the most common weapon in the game, being found on a few characters and purchasable from the Gun Runners.

It is generally the best 20 gauge shotgun, being given a proper magazine and a fast rate of fire to capitalize on sending as much 20 gauge as fast as possible. That being said the middling returns on damage you get with 20 gauge and the overall bad ability to 20 gauge to kill anything you're aiming at once armor is involved makes this less ideal long-term.

==New England Pardner==
The [[New England Firearms Pardner]] appears in the game as the "Single Shotgun". The Single Shotgun is used by members of the Powder Gangers and lower level enemies. One such shotgun can be found in one of the houses in Goodsprings. The Single Shotgun is a good starter shotgun, with very good accuracy and the highest per-shot damage of any 20-gauge shotgun in the game at a cost of its lack of real damage to anything wearing armor, but is outclassed by any other shotgun in almost every other respect.

Occasionally, the Courier will encounter Single Shotguns rigged up as tripwire-based traps, commonly set at doorways, replacing the fictional "Combat Shotgun" from ''Fallout 3''. Bizarrely, when a rigged shotgun is disarmed, it will remove the shotgun from the trap (unlike other traps, this can be done even after the trap has been activated - provided, that is, that the player character has a Repair skill of at least 45), and will grant the Courier a 20 gauge shell; it will not, however, give them the shotgun itself, despite removing it from the trap, which begs the question of where it actually goes when this happens. Additionally, if a trap was disarmed after it has been triggered, it will still yield one full shell, instead of a case (which is also an item in the game).

Note the presence of what appears to be an electric motor powered by a microfusion cell (an energy weapon ammo type) set up to spool up a wire to pull the trigger, begging the question why the tripwire activates this motor rather than pulling the trigger itself. The weapon also seems to be held in place with aluminum foil.]]

==Sawn-Off Side-By-Side Shotgun==
The [[Sawn-off double barreled shotgun|sawn-off side-by-side shotgun]] from ''Fallout 3'' returns, again as the "Sawed-Off Shotgun". It has mostly the same model as that game, but has a completely different texture (with an overall cleaner look, different screw placement, and a different pistol grip) and only has one trigger, which somehow fires both barrels at the same time. As it is also held one-handed, this would likely be extremely painful for the user. This does mean it is effectively a single-shot weapon gameplay-wise, but the large amount of pellets fired and its 12 gauge chambering mean that it is the highest-damage shotgun (and the second highest damage of any weapon) in the game. As expected of a sawn-off shotgun the spread is extreme, and it is also the least durable shotgun. Rounding out this odd package, it can be brought into weapon-free areas if the player character has a Sneak skill of 50 or above. The Sawed-off is quite common in the Mojave, being carried by Ralph of Mick and Ralph's, some Fiends, Jessup, Omerta "button men", and bartenders at The Tops and Gomorrah, and being purchasable from Mick of Mick and Ralph's, and the Vendortron. Notably, they can also be obtained from Heck Gunderson during "Beyond the Beef", if the player chooses to tell him where his son is, and from Cachino during "How Little We Know" (along with thirty 12 gauge Magnum shells) if the player chooses to help him deal with Big Sal and Nero.

A unique variant with a darker, more worn look called the "Big Boomer" is carried by Old Lady Gibson, and can only be acquired by either stealing it from or killing her. Compared to the standard Sawed-Off, it is nearly a direct upgrade, with higher damage, a tighter spread, higher rate of fire, and a lower AP cost in VATS, with the only downside being the inability to carry it into weapons-free areas (regardless of the player's Sneak skill).

=Launchers=
==M79 Grenade Launcher==
The [[M79 Grenade Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Rifle". It can be found in several locations and is sold by many different vendors. It can be upgraded with a "long barrel" to increase grenade velocity and range. It is baby's first explosive weapon, with middling damage and a fast rate of fire but inferior to later grenade launchers. Don't knock it though, it's got a key fun trick. Knocking over enemies.

The M79 has the distinction of having the highest number of unique variants of any weapon in the game. The first is "Thump-Thump" found in the Nellis Array. It comes with the long barrel modification built-in and has a lighter-colored stock with a drawing of an angry beaver holding a rifle on it. In addition to having the effects of the long barrel modification built-in, Thump-Thump also fires faster, is more durable, and weighs slightly less.

If the player preordered a version of the game that came with the "Mercenary Pack" or bought the ''Courier's Stash'' DLC, they acquire the "Mercenary's Grenade Rifle" at the start of the game. It is almost identical to the base Grenade Rifle, only with a slightly darker color, slightly less weight, and not requiring skill in Explosives to use.

The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the "Red Victory Grenade Rifle", with a stock painted to resemble the Chinese flag, and the "Great Bear Grenade Rifle", which has a blue grip and forend and a white Army star on the grip. The Red Victory can only be acquired if the player chooses to nuke the Legion at the end of the DLC, and the Great Bear only if the player chooses to nuke the NCR. The Red Victory is faster firing, weighs less, and is more durable compared to the base Grenade Rifle. The Great Bear is slightly heavier than the Red Victory (but still lighter than the base Grenade Rifle), but is much more durable and does more damage than the base Grenade Rifle.

[[File:FNV Great Bear.jpg|thumb|none|500px|...and the fourth one, the Great Bear, with a white star-in-circle design similar to that seen on some US Army vehicles.]]

==China Lake Launcher==
The [[China Lake Launcher]] appears as the "Grenade Launcher". Unlike the real weapon, it has a 4-round tube magazine (as opposed to the real China Lake's 3-round tube magazine) and a much lower stock, presumably so that it can reuse animations from the Remington 870. Most Boomers carry it, along with one of the caravan guards at the start of the ''Honest Hearts'' DLC, and it can also be found in a few locations or purchased from several traders.

Consistent with ''New Vegas'''s design philosophy of making less powerful weapons still valuable after the player has found an "upgrade", while it initially appears to be an upgrade in every way over the Grenade Rifle, the Grenade Launcher is a fiddly beast with a less consistent damage output than the Grenade Rifle, due to the longer reloads. Additionally unlike the Grenade Rifle, the Launcher has no extended barrel upgrade to increase its range, which limits its potential for long range bombardment without extensive practice in learning its projectile arc.

A modified version named the "Holorifle" appears in the ''Dead Money'' DLC, with a futuristic short-range scope and various electronic pieces to convert the weapon to a microfusion cell-based energy weapon, firing some kind of odd hard light projectiles, and loading microfusion cells into the tube magazine and ejecting them after firing. It is given to the player once they arrive at the Sierra Madre. The Holorifle is decent against the enemies that stalk the Madre, though microfusion cells are hard to find there.

[[File:FNV Holorifle Side.jpg|thumb|none|500px|The right side of the Holorifle, as seen shortly after firing.]]

=="Grenade Machinegun"==
The "Grenade Machinegun" is a fictitious large fully-automatic grenade launcer firing 25mm grenades. It is comparable to the game's miniguns and flamethrowers in size and layout, also having an ammo storage carreid on the user's back. The gun carries a large amount of electronics, complete with a monitor at the top that displays Bash script; as the "high-speed kit" modification which improves the rate of fire changes the colors of the electronics on the side, they appear to assist in feeding the weapon. The large muzzle brake, drum magazine, side-mounted handle and use of small-caliber grenades bears some resemblance to the [[Norinco QLZ-87]] automatic grenade launcher, though unlike the QL, the barrel is reciprocating, implying recoil operation instead of the gas operation of the QLZ. Instead of the drum being replaced when reloading, the side of the drum opens up and the Courier inserts in a disc-shaped rack of grenades, which is presumably kept in the ammo storage on their back. The Grenade Machinegun is a fairly powerful late game explosive weapon in comparison to the Rocket Launcher or Fatman, a high damage but relatively controllable death machine capped by the rarity of 25mm ammo in the wastes.

The unique variant, "Mercy", can be found in Dead Wind Cavern. Apparently a relic from before the nukes fell, it has "Hei Gui Bye Bye" spraypainted on its body (Hei Gui is the name of a group of Chinese commandos in the game) and is in an extremely rusty state, though it still has two-and-a-half times the durability of a standard grenade machinegun. It also rocks a rechambering to 40mm, drastically improving its damage and power at a cost of reduced ammo capacity and making it harder to keep this stocked up when playing on Hardcore due to how heavy 40mm ammo is.

=="25mm Grenade APW"*==
The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds the "25mm Grenade APW" (Anti-Personnel Weapon), a fictitious semi-automatic grenade launcher firing 25mm grenades from a six-round detachable box magazine. While fictional, the 25mm Grenade APW bears a very loose resemblance to some semi-auto shotguns, like the [[Remington 1100]]. Being a ''GRA'' weapon, it is only available from traders, being sold by the Gun Runners, the Boomers, Alexander at the 188 Trading Post, among others.

It serves as an interesting midway in the explosives category, doing slightly less damage than the 40mm launchers and not providing as much overall firepower as the Grenade Machinegun, but is lighter and more portable than either, while still retaining great lethality. The APW has three available modifications: "Upgraded Internals" which increases fire rate by 25%; a longer barrel, which doubles projectile velocity and range; and an 8-round extended magazine (called an "expanded drum", despite not actually being a drum magazine).

=Grenades & Explosives=
==M84 Stun Grenade*==
The ''Lonesome Road'' DLC adds the [[M84 stun grenade]] as the "Flash Bang". Unlike regular grenades, it deals fatigue damage and reduces enemy weapon skills.
[[File:M84-Flash-Bang-Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|M84 stun grenade]]

[[Image:FNV Stun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Courier finds a M84 stun grenade in some rubble.]]

=="Frag Grenade"==
The fictional "Frag Grenades" returning from ''Fallout 3'' are heavily based on the Danish [[M23 Haanbombe]]. In-game, they can be found in boxes and crates in certain locations, looted from Recruit Legionaries, and bought from some merchants (including the Vendortron). The Frag Grenade is also an improved holdout weapon, meaning that any Courier with a Sneak skill of 50 or higher can take them into weapons-free zones, though their quality as a stealth weapon is obviously highly dubious.

Occasionally, the Courier will run into traps consisting of three frag grenades hanging from a ceiling, a setup that the game rather affectionately calls a "Grenade Bouquet". If the Courier has an Explosives skill of 30 or more, then they can retrieve these grenades for later use.

If the player has the Wild Wasteland trait, a box in the basement of Camp Searchlight's church that normally contains mini-nukes will instead contain three unique "Holy Frag Grenades", identical to the regular grenades except for a white cross painted onto the body. Compared to the standard frag grenade, the Holy Frag Grenade has a far larger and more damaging explosion, and leaves radiation in its wake, much like a mini-nuke. The Holy Frag Grenades as a whole, as well as the text found near to them on a box, are a reference to ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''.

==AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade==
The game's "Incendiary Grenade", while somewhat generic, seems to be an [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]] with a black-and-orange coloration. Its markings claim it is an "AN-2051 INCENDIARY GRENADE", as well as a "MODEL 0531". The incendiary grenade can be found in several locations, though it isn't as widespread as the Frag Grenade. Like other grenades, the Incendiary Grenade is an improved holdout weapon.

==M112 C4 Demolition Charge==
The in-game C4 charges are composed of 4 US-issue M112 C4 charges held together with tape. In-game, they are quite powerful, and can be found in several locations, albeit in small numbers. While the player requires a detonator to set them off normally, one is not absolutely necessary, as the in-game C4 can erroneously be detonated by gunfire, something which does not happen with actual C4.

The "Frag Mine", a recoloured and shrunken [[TM-46 anti-tank mine]], returns from the previous game. It functions more or less the same as it did in ''Fallout 3'', producing a small explosion after beeping for a few seconds when a target gets close enough, the duration and proximity for detection depending on the Courier's Explosives skill. Mines planted as traps can be found in a variety of locations, sometimes hidden under corpses or other objects.

In ''Dead Money'', another variant of the TM-46 appears; it is known as the "Demolition Charge", and must be bought from Sierra Madre vending machines for 75 chips each after the appropriate holotape is found. Compared to the more common Frag Mine, Demo Charges feature a negligibly higher amount of damage and no Explosives skill requirement, but are also three times as heavy, weighing 1.5 pounds instead of 0.5. It also has a different skin, sporting a yellower body with diagonal black stripes along the sides and a partially-obscured radiation symbol on top (though the charge does not afflict any radiation damage).

=Other=
==Fictional AA Gun==
A fictional type of anti-aircraft gun, seemingly based on the [[80 cm Kanone (E)|''Schwerer Gustav'' 80cm railway gun]] and heavily scaled down, is seen in pre-war emplacements on Hoover Dam. Additionally, the fixed artillery pieces found at the X-7a site at Big MT in ''Old World Blues'', which can be used to fire a Saturnite round at the X-7b site, seem to be a variant of the AA gun, being constructed of some of the same parts.

=="Flamer"==
The fictitious "Flamer" flamethrower returns from ''Fallout 3''. Due to the Big Guns skill no longer existing, it is classed as an Energy Weapon. Its model is identical to the ''Fallout 3'' version, and so again seems to be based on the [[M9 Flamethrower|M9A1-7 Flamethrower]], with a backpack similar to that of the [[M2 Flamethrower]]. In-game, it is found in a few locations, including two of The Strip's casinos (the Gomorrah and the Ultra Luxe), in the Silver Rush, on the Fiend leader Cook-Cook, in Vaults 3 and 22, and on the Marked Man Blister in Lonesome Road. The Flamer has one modification - "Expanded Tanks", which double its ammunition capacity. Low damage, high rate of ''fire'' and usually defeating armor, if you can take the brunt of getting shot while using it, it's a messy but fun main arm for Energy Weapon builds.

The ''Gun Runners' Arsenal'' DLC adds a unique variant of the Flamer to the game, the "Cleansing Flame". Compared to the standard Flamer, it weighs more (22 pounds instead of 15), costs slightly more AP to use in VATS, does slightly less base damage, has a lower crit chance, and has a higher spread, but is more durable, holds 100 units of fuel (higher than the Flamer's base capacity, but lower than the Flamer with expanded tanks), and has a slightly longer after-burn effect that increases in both damage and duration with the user's Energy Weapons skill. Visually, it has 2 moderately-sized fuel tanks and 1 smaller pressure tank (rather than the 2 small fuel tanks and one large pressure tank of the standard version), a narrower nozzle, three orange fuel lines on the wand (rather than the single black one of the normal Flamer), and a distinctive blue flame effect.

==M101 Howitzer==
Somewhat oversized M101 Howitzers appear in a few locations in the game, notably at Nellis AFB and The Fort. The one at the Fort is broken, and the Legion sidequest "I Hear You Knocking" has the player go to Nellis AFB to retrieve a replacement firing mechanism.

[[File:FNV Howitzer Legion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Legion's broken howitzer, on Fortification Hill.]]

==Daisy Red Ryder BB Gun==
The [[Red Ryder]] returns from ''Fallout 3'', again as the "BB Gun". Markings on the loader claim it to be a "Raider BB Rifle". It is the weakest ranged weapon in the game - which makes sense, it being a toy rather than an actual weapon. It has a capacity of 100 BBs instead of the real gun's 650, and its accuracy is somewhat poor. It can be found in a variety of locations, including (but not limited to): toy boxes, the Nellis schoolhouse, a shack at the top of Coyote Mines, Blue Paradise Vacation Rentals, a house in Nipton, the Great Khan armorer (sometimes), and Coach's office in ''Old World Blues''. Amusingly enough, despite being an airgun firing BBs, it it still considered a firearm by the game, and is thus capable of certain odd things, such as igniting flammable vapors with its nonexistent muzzle blast.

The unique variant of the weapon, the "Abilene Kid LE BB Gun", is visually identical to the base version visually except for a marking on the stock denoting it as part of a 200-strong limited edition. It is nearly identical statistics-wise to the standard BB Gun, save for better durability, a slightly higher crit chance (1.5 instead of 1), and secretly boasts an extremely high critical damage boost, bumping it from a base damage of 4 to a whopping 70 on a critical hit (compared to the standard variant's critical damage of 6.2 and higher than any weapon in the game except for the Brush Gun, Medicine Stick, Anti-Materiel Rifle, Paciencia and Gobi Campaign Scout Rifle.); furthermore, with the correct perks, this can be raised all the way to 157. The Abilene Kid LE BB Gun can be found in Fields' Shack, or in Jimmy's Well if the player has the Wild Wasteland trait (which is located directly in front of Fields' Shack).

PaperCake: "primary warm" is what my monkey brain says after a range day

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game. Boring, reliable, decent damage with little to write home about beyond a good concealment stat for early game stealth runs.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

[[File:PD2 1911 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that the Lightweight Operator is one of only a few pistols in-game modeled with a threaded barrel.]]

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

Slightly lower damage of the Chimano but with a full auto switch and mods that help make this a perfect gun to panic pull out and spray at a hallway of SWAT officers.

[[File:Pd2 x g18c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Details in this case being the small slide release levers. Oddly enough, the "Khaki" option paints them dark gray, while the dark gray paint paints them more like khaki.]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful pistols in the game, and that's saying something after so many updates that have added similar high power, slow ROF handcannons. The flexible mod list and allowing this thing to take magnified optics has kept the Deagle as a strong secondary option.

If their shield is destroyed before they are, they will switch to an SKO-12 shotgun, which uses detachable magazines, not loose shells to reload. The pistol having no sights is probably an artifact of reusing the player-available model that has an alternative iron sight option and as such isn't part of the barrel/slide and forgotten by developers in an oversight.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor's a decent alternative to the Crosskill with a slightly larger magazine and a similar mod pool, and with the advantage of the other Payday Steam Group guns of being unlocked at Level 0.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22's a weird gun at first, with similar statistics to the other non-9mm PAYDAY offerings and middling accuracy. However, it has a deep pool of ammo to play with, alongside the Chimano standard high concealment making it both a good backup option with large reserves and a useful stealth option with higher power than the Gruber.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK/S(**)==
The [[Walther PPK/S]] pistol appears as the "Gruber Kurz", perhaps a reference to the PPK's intended usage by the villain Hans Gruber in the 1988 film ''[[Die Hard]]'', though it was swapped out for a [[Heckler & Koch P7|P7M13]] in the final cut. The "Kurz" also seems to imply that the developers have made the immensely common mistake of taking the "K" in its name to stand for "Kurz", as it does with most German firearms, such as the [[Karabiner 98k]], [[G36K]], or [[MP5K]]. In reality, the K stands for "Kriminal", as it was the variant of the [[Walther PP]] that was designed for criminal investigators. It was added as part of the Armored Transport DLC, and it was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

Sure it has low damage, sure it isn't exactly accurate, but the Gruber puts its cards in concealment and having enough ammo to pick off every single camera on a stealth map. Don't knock it till you try it.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC.

This is the Crosskill except better in most to all departments, same damage and overall ammo pool but with better concealment, accuracy and available from the get-go at Level 0.
[[file:P226R.jpg|thumb|none|350px|SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm. The one in-game is a .40 S&W model.]]

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23.

The Broomstick is an oddball, arguably a gun that's been reworked to death to find a niche. Initially a fun alternative to the standard non-9mm sidearms limited by mods, it's now more so a pocket DMR with the extended magazine, stock, barrel and scope giving it a role as a silly M-308 in your pocket.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle. A frighteningly powerful pistol for the money, limited by low ammo and high recoil.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s. This model is the same as in ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', and different from the "Crosskill Chunky Compact" model.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

Of the Federales machine pistol trio, the Igor aims for maximum damage over anything else with Chimano Custom levels of power and a fun switch for good measure. This means it also has the thinnest pool of reserve ammo of any of the trio, with a low pickup rate and bad recoil to keep you from having too much fun.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

Boring and placid with normal damage, the Czech is the moderate option of the Funky Bunch. Good reserve ammo amounts and the only issue being recoil like its brothers, this leaves the gun as the perfect sidearm to do risky main armaments with. Because nothing says fun like the saw.

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

You'd think the lower damage of the Bernetti Auto would be a good thing and it would if it wasn't low enough to keep headbutting its own ammo pool. Low ammo capacity, worse replacement mags and its biggest parlor trick letting you play RoboCop don't really save this thing from getting sidelined by everything, even the STRYK.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9mm". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

Someone has stolen the Contractor's stats and applied it to this gun, which is fairly ironic given the H9 was to appear in one of the John Wick movies. Take those same pros and cons, add on the ability to actually swap grips on this thing and you'd have the HOLT dead to rights.

==Colt M1911/M1911A1 Hybrid(**)==
The [[Colt M1911]] and [[Colt M1911A1]] hybrid was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "Crosskill Chunky Compact".

Neither really chunky or compact, the Compact Chunky is a White Streak mixed with the ol' normal Crosskill. High damage, high rate of fire and higher than its rivals, it's not a terrible sidearm albeit capped off by a very limited mod pool to work with.

==Tokarev TT-33(**)==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" with akimbo option as "Káng Arms Model 54". Its name refers to the Chinese copy of the pistol, the [[Norinco Type 54]], however, the in-game pistol is based on the Russian version. Both single and dual wielded variants can mount an underbarrel shotgun attachment similar to the one in ''[[Kingsman: The Secret Service]]''.

Initially, this looks like another Crosskill. Same 85 damage stat, same relative accuracy, same amount of pros and cons until we get to that shotgun attachment. The ability to throw a blast of 850 damage shotshell into a target with decent concealment is a very fun trick to have on call.

==SilencerCo Maxim 9(**)==
The [[SilencerCo Maxim 9]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Gecko M2". It is integrally suppressed as you'd expect.

The Gecko exists so we can retire the meta of the silenced Judge. Yes, it's suppressed, and it has low ammo but this is powerful, accurate and allows you to push corpses out of the way so you don't immediately get caught just after you finally solved that guard's pager.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite its .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

It is without question one of the most hilarious guns in the game. Beyond the fact that the Judge is tiny, thus making it plus a Silent Killer suppressor the defacto stealth build meta, this gun has the damage of the game's double barreled shotguns combined with a ungodly fast rate of fire and a quick reload. Whenever you see a Judge come into a player's inventory, prepare for hijinks.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]].

The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

==Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model(**)==
The [[Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model]] was added to the game in the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack" with akimbo option as "Frenchman Model 87".

Decent accuracy, damage and a high ammo pool, the Frenchman is like a lot of the other historical firearms in PAYDAY, a fun sidegrade for a match or two. And that's about it, don't use this thing past the sell-by date.

==RSh-12(**)==
The [[RSh-12]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "RUS-12 Angry Tiger". Like the Five-seveN and sniper rifles, it has the ability to puncture armor, shields, and walls. And just like the Five-seveN, it has no akimbo option, likely for balancing reasons.

Stupidly high damage, stupidly low capacity and reserve ammo, stupidly fast fire rate for a 12.7mm handcannon and having the utter lunacy to have little to no drop off in damage so you can 100% whip this thing out of your pocket and turn the head of a sniper 200 yards away into strawberry danish filling. Nuttier than a bag of hammers.

==Korth NXA==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Kahn .357" is a [[Korth Combat|Korth NXS]] with a red-anodized barrel shroud and red/black laminate grip known as Korth NXA; this makes ''PD2'' the weapon's first known appearance.

As gamer as it looks, the Kahn's stats are bonkers. Deagle damage, good accuracy and the ability to swap the cylinders and make it do EVEN more damage on top of adding attachments like lights and any flavor of red dot that goes on a rifle? Yeah, you've got a winner even if it looks like an eyesore with every modification.

[[File:Pd2 korth (11).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Kahn's modifications can essentially turn it into a Korth STX, albeit retaining some features of the NXS frame such as the distinctive cylinder release. The underbarrel gadgets are moved to the right side as there's no longer an underbarrel rail. Both grip alternatives are based on real things (one of them is a familiar Hogue product). Funnily enough, both single and dual-wielded revolvers can exchange their eight-round cylinder for a six-round one, but both versions only reduce the capacity by 2, meaning the akimbo six-shooters can somehow be fired seven times before needing to reload.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMGs go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models as listed below.

Like the real steel, the Compact 5 is a boringly effective 9mm gun that can be spun in many ways that still keep it nice, boring and functional. Compact ones make perfect stealth SMGs, the deep ammo pool keeps it a popular albeit anemic sidearm, it just works.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired. While in a real P90 the ammo points towards the left, in game the rounds point towards the right; interestingly this seems to be an artistic decision (or just a goof) instead of related to using airsoft guns as references, as most airsoft P90s do have their dummy rounds pointing the right way.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a strange gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options.

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

Another cheap Level 0 weapon, the M/45 is almost fun with its high damage, decent accuracy and good concealment with the folded stock. That being said it is a king of low reserve ammo (only starting with one mag) that knee caps its potential a tad.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC.

Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development.

The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds.

The M11/9 is a weird alternative to a standard SMG high rate of fire SMG like the Mark 10 or the MP7, with a similar fast fire rate, good ammo pickup and decent damage. That being said there's little to be done with those classic Cobray sights, like the Thompson any replacement is mounted far out on the front sight, and the reload is dreadfully slow.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines.

The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack".

This occupies a similar slot to the other bullet hose SMGs, albeit with the fastest ROF in the SMG category and almost the fastest in the game bar the MG42 and Miniguns. It reloads nice and fast, is relatively stable and all around a decent option, should you get over the lack of sight mods and come to terms with lovely 90s irons.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded.

It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece). Same basic points, but now it's Das Vidanya.

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine. It's chunky, fires faster than you think and works well enough as a medium damage/ROF side piece to more larger primaries.

The impersonation is less than perfect as the USC stock is not integral to the gun's frame, plus the UMP's stock hinge, 3-point fire selector switch and gadget rails remain attached to the weapon.]]

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, it's cursed with Russian Weapon Pack disorder of having little mods to its name beyond the basics.

That being said, the Tatonka's very good. Sure it lacks total ammo and does frankly silly amounts of damage for a 9x18 SMG from the Yeltsin years but it's accurate, shelf stable and compact. Plus you have full Bizon mags. Only two to three of them but a full 64 round mag stock is lovely.

==MP40(**)==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines.

Fires relatively fast but not so fast you lose track of ammo, has a decent bit of mods to its name and was the first dual wield SMG so one could walk into a battle with three different MPX's on them should they desire. The Signature's as you'd expect for a tie-in promo gun.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz(**)==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "AK Gen 21 Tactical".

A slightly less powerful but much more versatile Tatonka, which is very on the nose given the Vityaz is a de-helical mag'd Bizon with mild improvements. More ammo, similar-ish damage, good ammo pool, the only thing this doesn't have going for it is not being able to take all of PD2's AK mods which is a stretch of a demerit.

==Minebea M-9(**)==
The [[Minebea M-9]] with its front grip removed was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" with akimbo option as "Miyaka 10 Special".

Filled with angry bees, the Miyaka is a Micro Uzi/Mark 10 fusion. For one, high rate of fire, decent damage and good enough concealment to keep it as a good gun even if you did accidently alert the authorities. On the other hand it fires so fast it eats the magazines up in seconds and it lacks any accuracy whatsoever. So y'know, what you'd expect from a M-9.

==Magpul FDC-9(**)==
The new semi-auto carbine version of the [[Magpul FMG-9]], the FDC-9, was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Wasp-DS". Unlike the real FDC-9 (and like the FMG-9 it descended from), the Wasp-DS is fully-automatic; firing at 1333 rounds a minute, it takes the crown of the the highest unmodded rate of fire in the game, being beaten only by the CZ-75 and Beretta 93R with the 50% ROF boost from the Aced "Gun Nut" skill. The weapon's blazing rate of fire is tempered by the complete lack of ability to use optics and a painfully long draw/holster animation that discourages the user from switching to a primary.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

The in-game model is depicted with a smooth top cover rather than a ribbed one. Additionally, while the weapon does have the folding stock's button at the rear of the receiver, it has some characteristics of a fixed-stock AK-74, namely the lack of a latch on the receiver's left side (for keeping the stock folded), and the presence of only two rivets at the rear as opposed to three.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The UAR works. That's the gimmick. For basegame players, this gun is a boringly reliable full auto rifle with more damage output than the CAR or AK with good stability and accuracy hindered by being so middling. You can't really complain since it works well enough but once you get access to funner stuff, the UAR fades out in favor of silly primaries.

[[file:AUG A2 PD2 reloading2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading. Note the bullets are actually modeled inside the magazine!]]
===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

What was once the high damage assault rifle option that made you keep in mind you only were able to stuff three spare mags on your heister is now a boring albeit effective weapon for someone latched to Fully Loaded. Powerful, accurate, relatively stable especially when modded and most importantly, allowing you to roll out like Jean Baptise with the gold version if you want.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have, and that the full auto switch does work.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

The attachment's name is a reference to ''[[The A-Team]]'', whose protagonists made frequent use of folding-stocked Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.

===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to keep on top of to use right. Not that it's bad, far from it, similar damage output to the AKMS but with a higher rate of fire, more stability and more interesting mods like the DMR kit that allow this to go full sniper rifle if you want to. But it still hits its own low ammo pool constantly, and you need to keep track of ammo so you're not stuck with one mag every 10 minutes.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies.

The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon.

In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kind of sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.

[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle.

The Clarion's a deceiving gun - at first, you think it's a normal assault rifle that operates like any other; once you actually use it, however, you'll quickly discover that it's a fast-firing bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment, making it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 35 rounds in the 25-round magazine (Update 210 increase this from 30 to 35, possibly due to confusing the 5.56 and 7.62 version) and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs.

The fact that this thing has been reworked about 5 to 6 times tells you what you need to know. The Gecko's an oddball. Weirdly specific mods that don't really compliment a build beyond shooting it wildly, decent damage, unbridled effective hipfire accuracy and enough ammo pickups that keep you alive longer than you'd think. That doesn't really solve how weird this thing is but it is trying.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine.

While in standard form the Gewehr is a decent battle rifle with high-ish damage, a good ROF and comparable to its stable mates of the Eagle Heavy or Falcon. The mods spin this into some interesting departments. The Assault barrel makes this into a slightly less powerful but more interesting close range bruiser, with a deep ammo pool to work with. The DMR kit makes it a very effective helmet popper that can hit the 100 Accuracy statistic without much of a sweat. Pick your flavor.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction.

With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar".

The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine.

Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model.

And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others. but it's in a slot that you shouldn't arguably have it in.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock.

It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant).

And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

In a nice touch of detail, the amount of rounds in the clip varies depending on how many were in the gun, although what keeps the rounds in such a still, orderly bunch is a mystery. Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

Like a union, it's boring, effective enough for what it is and does a job so well enough that you can't really notice it. It's a reliable bullethose that has no mods to really spice it up beyond the two listed above, decent ammo pickup and stability and not much else.

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead. This seems to be in line with whatever prejudice Overkill has against weapons with integral foregrips. ]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 selector.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While its appearance might mislead players into thinking it is a converted FS2000, the 3-point fire selector begs to differ.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes. To this end, it has a dust gasket in the magazine well that's specifically shaped to conform to the dimensions of the STANAG, meaning aftermarket ones like this PMAG (and '''especially''' PMAGs) would not physically fit inside the gun.]]

==OTs-14-4A Groza(**)==
The [[OTs-14-4A Groza]] assault rifle/grenade launcher complex was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2". as the "KETCHNOV Byk-1". It introduces the "electric grenades" which it uses by default, but can be switched for the more generic explosive ones.

This is the gun you make your friend use after he grenades a group of cops and fragged a few civvies. The electro grenades of the Byk allow you to fry some pork without cooking anything else in the meal, and the high fire rate, good damage and speed-pull mags make this an effective brawler. But like the Little Friend, it lacks a lot of ammo and requires you to have some modicum of patience. Because the rifle is a Groza and has a fire rate on par with a MAC-10.

==ShAK-12 (**)==
The [[ShAK-12]] also known as ASh-12 was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "KS12 Urban".

It's a ShAK, you expect high power, low rate of fire and a beast of a gun that lets you pop as many heads as possible and what you see is what you get for the most part. It's powerful, loud, effective, has low total ammo and an abysmal accuracy reflecting the issues of 12.7x55mm better than most games do.

==TKB-059 (**)==
The TKB-059, better known by its "Pribor 3B" ("device 3B") prototype name, was added to the game in the "McShay Weapon Pack 3" as "Rodion 3B" in what might be the first depiction of the weapon in popular media. This triple barreled bullpup rifle has a burst fire function similar to the earlier "Hailstorm", which penetrates shields but not walls and heavy armor.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and a 6-position stock attached with a LAW Tactical folding buffer tube adapter, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

It still lacks any obvious source for the taser projectile to come from.]]

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16.

A boringly reliable, boringly effective, decently accurate, very stable, quick firing, deep ammo pool having, sausage stuffing, kraut eating, easy joke making rifle. Do you need much else? It's a G36.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Payday2 K23B sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sight picture is the same as the AMCAR, but it works well at ranges this short. Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.]]

[[File:Pd2 x olympic (2).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding a pair of customized "Paras".]]
[[File:Pd2 x olympic (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting. The railed handguard is based on the one seen on the LR300, and is even named in the game files after it.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles.

In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout.

And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets. Which to be fair, it does very well.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21".

It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer.

The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it doesn't have a good pickup rate and sure there are better options but it's reliable and that's more important in the thick of it.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches.

The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

The Izhma's always been a weird shotgun to make work right. Low damage makes it less effective as far as a shotgun goes, and not helped by even mods that barely get this thing to scrape the high 70's. That being said it is also easy to keep topped up and fires fast enough to keep you on your toes and able to sweep enemies well with headshots. Good for lower ranks, pushing this thing to OVERKILL isn't ideal.

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate.

That is not a joke, it's an Izhma on steroids. Sure it has less damage than a Chimano, and yes it fires slower than the Izhma but that doesn't matter because it has a spread like a sawn off, has the same deep reserves of ammo and picks it back up so fast that you can dump the mags, reload and be back to blast again before you can say "wait, what?".

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39.

While it's only a two shot gun, the Mosconi is delightfully entertaining in how it works. 155 damage out the pipe with two to use, decently accurate and with a list of downsides that you'd expect since it's a double barreled shotgun and this isn't Tombstone, Arizona. That being said, the shotgun is delightfully entertaining, both stock, with big whoop 00 or the forever delightful combo of a sawn off Mosconi with frag shells.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who doesn't have the shotgun DLC and wishes for all of the fun with a dash of 80's zest. Which also means this is a middlingly effective heavy shotgun that fires fast, reloads fast, doesn't burn out your early bank account and will last about as long in your lineup as a cheap pair of Wal-Mart sneakers.

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E.

While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube.

Initially you look at this thing, middling damage, decent but mediocre accuracy and a good enough for a shotgun concealability and think it's not worth your time. And you are almost right until you get this thing into a battle, panic click and find out this Benelli sends out shots fast as snot. All of the Izhma fun without a fun switch!

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game was added with the Gage Shotgun DLC and depicted, typically for a game, with a continuous tube rather than two separate ones.

If you want a silenced shotgun to compliment the Judge with a oil cleaner you have shoved into a holster, this is your go-to. Perfectly compact enough to be a powerful mainline stealth arm and with enough damage, rate of fire and some accuracy to be a good gun when shit goes south.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

The big tube on the end is an exclusive fictional integral suppressor.]]

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC). It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto.

With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine.

There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

==Winchester Model 1897 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack", confusingly named the "Reinfeld 88".

As the name sort of implies, this is a Reinfeld abridged shotgun. Same basic mechanics of a pump shotgun but with more damage, a higher rate of fire akin to the Loco in the primary slot and the ability to make this thing very compact for a high damage dodge/crit build, if you can look yourself in the soul and say "Am I willing to saw down a 100 year old shotgun for better stats?"

==Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser (**)==
The [[Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser]] with buffer tube adapter was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" as "Mosconi 12G Tactical".

Read what I said about the 88, copy it down to here with the bonus of a few mods and we have basically the same thing. You wanted some fancy words? No.

==Baikal MP-155 Ultima(**)==
The [[Baikal MP-155 Ultima]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Argos III".

Take our good friend Mr. Loco, make him semi automatic, give it a fast reload since we've now learned how to load TWO shells at once and then also give it an ammo pool wide enough that you can keep this thing as a primary while you're busy doing the busy work for the team with the saw. It's a boringly functional set up for a gamer gun.

[[Image:Pd2 ultima (13).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The reloading animations aren't limited to double-loading either; here a single shell is seen loaded.]]

==Standard Manufacturing SKO-12(**)==
The [[Standard Manufacturing SKO-12]] was added to the game in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2", under the name "VD-12". Two variants are available, a standard SKO-12 with a 25-round drum magazine (that incorrectly holds 28 rounds), and an SKO-12 Shorty with a 9-round magazine (that holds an also-incorrect 10); the latter version is only available in dual-wielded form, making it the first dual-wielded version of a primary weapon.

Because the Steakout didn't have enough power or ammo for you, you may now have a Turkish shotgun. Slow rate of fire to maximize the accuracy of your shot, a drum so deep you'd struggle to run out of ammo even with that withering 65 damage of and a pickup that's almost Steakout levels of good but not quite there. It's trying, though.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

[[File:PD2 variousAKs.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The RPK seen along with various other AKs in the new safehouse. Note that this model still has its bipod despite it not being present on the current weapon model.]]

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist.

For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold.

The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game.

While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

[[File:Payday2 MG42 -hd1- menu 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The old MG42 model, before it had its bipod removed.]]

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns.

Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

[[File:PD2 M240 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The M240 fitted with the "Lion's bipod" and "Plastic stock", the latter being more in line with a proper M240 stock.]]

==M60(**)==
The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

Ironically given it's an M60, the gun most people expect to go Rambo with and fire wildly, this thing boasts one of the best accuracy stats in the entire LMG tree alongside good ammo pickup, damage and the deep, deep wells that are 200 round 7.62 NATO drums. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it, shocker, fires slow. Oh no, it lets you maximize damage, what ever will we do.

==Vollmer HK51-B(**)==
The [[Vollmer HK51-B]] was added to the game as part of the "McShay Weapon Pack" as "SG Versteckt 51D". This is the first machine gun to use sights.

Now you see the fact that this gun DOES allow you to use sights and you know that OVERKILL is Faustian in how it gives you such nice things. You're 100% right, this thing's got more problems than a Craigslist beater. Low stability, low accuracy, lowest total ammo in the entire LMG catagory, good concealability which you probably don't care for as an LMG and no bipods. Have fun!

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls. This model originates from ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', but it actually uses different textures in Raid.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

==Ohio Ordnance HCAR(**)==
A fully-automatic [[Ohio Ordnance HCAR]] was added to the game as part of the "McShay Weapon Pack 3", dubbed "Akron HC". Following the HK51-B, it is the second weapon classified in-game as a light machine gun that allows proper aiming with a plethora of optical attachments.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine.

A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine.

The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage.

If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily which counts as a building in DC, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M91/30 (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M91/30]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

By default it is fitted with a fictional barrel the length of which appears to be in between an actual M91/30 and a M38 carbine and that seems to roughly align with that of M1907 carbine. Despite that, the in-game version isn't an actual M1907 carbine due to the lack of its very distinct rear sight block, as well as the presence of M91/30 rear sight and front sight hood.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification.

With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine.

If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter].

And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish.

The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian.

The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom plays a lot of weird hands. High concealability, which is hilarious given a SVD is the length of several small children, good ammo pickup and a nice and fast reload, all of the fun of sniper chaos with the chance for cosmoline in the joints.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.

The fact it's a 700P, the predecessor to the more modern MSR and take the same logic to the stats here. Same shit, different toilet.

==Norinco QBU-88(**)==
The [[Norinco QBU-88]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2".

The Kang, and yes that is its real name, is a Contractor tier fast shot sniper rifle aiming to be the way to solve the constant problem of shield hoards. Fast rate of fire, mag change and the key thing, high stability stats makes this Beijing brawler not a bad choice if you're willing to forgive its middling returns on the damage investment.

==Marlin Model 1895(**)==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack".

A Repeater that lets you put red dots on it, a rifle with weirdly specific damage, a high rate of fire, dogshit accuracy and a scope so bad you will never use it. Sounds about right for a modernized .45-70 Government lever action that has the magical power to punch through riot shields.

==Steyr Scout(**)==
The [[Steyr Scout]] was added to the game in the McShay Weapon Pack under the name of "Pronghorn Sniper Rifle". It is the first sniper rifle in the secondary weapon slot.

Beyond asking the question of how we stuff an entire Steyr Scout into the secondary slot, the Pronghorn works. It has decent damage, the ability to use iron sights, good mods, good concealability, a good all rounder in a slot that you would not expect to put a rifle like the Steyr Scout in.

==SAINT Victor .308 AR-10 Rifle (**)==
The SAINT Victor .308 was added to the game in "A Criminal Carol" 2022 holiday event under the name of "North Star Sniper Rifle". Following the Steyr Scout, this is the second secondary slot sniper rifle.

The Rifle of the North Star (yo wa shock) operates in a similar veign to the Pronghorn. The Pronghorn is a standard bolt action sniper rifle shrunk to fit in your pocket by the magical bag of holding, and this is the same thing for a whole mess of semi snipers. 160 damage, fast rate of fire, good concealment, no ammo and not much in reserves.

==Thompson Center G2 Contender (**)==
The [[Thompson Center G2 Contender]] was added to the game in "McShay Weapon Pack 3" DLC under the name of "Aran G2" as the third secondary slot sniper rifle.
[[File:ThompsonCenterG2Contender.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Thompson Center G2 Contender 14" Target Pistol - .223 Remington]]

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt.

The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds.

Problem is that it's a GL40 with six chambers you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore. Have fun trying to reload this as a bulldozer barrels at you like a freight train.

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game.

It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday).

Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon. So you can whip out this fun surprise at any time!

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers.

That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference. It does require some ASININE requirements to get it though, so most players opt for other methods of shock and awe.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)).

Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm.

It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

[[File:PD2 M320 aiming.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Iron sights. Disappointingly, the M320's leaf sight is not actually usable, not even as a gadget like that of the M79 and China Lake.

==Metal Storm 3GL(**)==
The [[Metal Storm 3GL]] under the alias of "Basilisk 3V Grenade Launcher" was added the the game as part of McShay Weapon Pack, which also introduces poison gas grenade modifications to all grenade launchers. This secondary weapon only fires in a slow full-auto, but its reloading can be cancelled partway for conserving ammo and doing less collateral damage.

The burst fire of the Metal Storm system makes it interesting, although it is some low damage for a secondary slot grenade launcher. That being said having one that can dump the contents of itself in a few seconds is an advantage, especially as it's dumping out poisonous gas that is more than likely a violation of the Geneva Conventions. But the cops failed to stop you from breaking into the White House to steal a pardon signed by Abraham Lincoln so I doubt the concerns of international law really matter anymore.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

==VOG-25P Khattabka Grenade (**)==
The "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" DLC added, among other things, the "X1-ZAPper" grenade, a VOG-25P-based [[Khattabka grenade]]; unlike its real-world counterpart (a makeshift frag grenade made from a 40mm grenade launcher round with a hand grenade's fuze assembly), the X1 functions as an electric grenade, shocking any enemy caught in its blast radius.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay.

It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]

==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

It's a Minigun for those who didn't get the Overkill pack, which would be a complaint if it wasn't hilariously funny to trot into a combat encounter with either weapon. Mildly more ammo, mildly less damage, all the same blinding bee firepower.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]

=="Hailstorm Mk 5"==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Hailstorm Mk 5" is a fictional weapon loosely based on the [[Magpul PDR]] visually, and the [[Metal Storm]] "Bertha" technology demonstrator rig conceptually. It holds 120 rounds in a 5x3 set of partly-removable barrels (with the forward section of the barrels remaining in place, and the rear section being detached as a single large block in a manner similar to the conceptually-analogous "Typhoon" from ''[[Crysis 3]]''), and features an integral laser sight, flashlight, and optic (complete with an electronic round counter). Its only available modifications are textured grip pads and alternate barrels (or rather, barrel extensions, since they seemingly all attach to the end of the existing ones) - an extended set, an integrally-suppressed set, and an extended, integrally-suppressed set - alongside a unique "Prototype" exclusive set that gives it a boxier upper receiver and a somewhat battered, unfinished look; this set's name would make a fair bit more sense if the basic version wasn't already marked "PROTOTYPE R-033".

Gameplay-wise, the Hailstorm is effectively two guns in one, with its two firemodes functioning completely differently - it can either fire in full-auto at a downright ludicrous 2,000 RPM (on par with the XM556 above; for trivia's sake, however, it's still a fair bit shy of the "Bertha" rig upon which it was based, whose 36 9mm barrels together managed ''1,000,000'' RPM), or in a "volley-shot" mode that fires every barrel at once, essentially turning it into a semi-automatic shotgun that can pierce ballistic shields; presumably for balance-related reasons, the latter mode has a short charge-up period before each shot, and consumes 30 rounds per volley despite only firing 15 "projectiles" gameplay-wise.

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game. Boring, reliable, decent damage with little to write home about beyond a good concealment stat for early game stealth runs.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

===Akimbo===

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

[[File:PD2 1911 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that the Lightweight Operator is one of only a few pistols in-game modeled with a threaded barrel.]]
[[File:PD2 1911 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.
[[file:Beretta92Centurion.jpg|thumb|350px|none|Beretta 92FS Centurion - 9x19mm]]
[[File:PD2 92FS left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note that for some reason it is modelled with [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta Model 92S|Beretta Model 92S]] grip panels meant for a heel-magazine release, but still has a groove for the 92FS' proper thumb release.]]

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

Slightly lower damage of the Chimano but with a full auto switch and mods that help make this a perfect gun to panic pull out and spray at a hallway of SWAT officers.

[[File:Pd2 x g18c.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Details in this case being the small slide release levers. Oddly enough, the "Khaki" option paints them dark gray, while the dark gray paint paints them more like khaki.]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful pistols in the game, and that's saying something after so many updates that have added similar high power, slow ROF handcannons. The flexible mod list and allowing this thing to take magnified optics has kept the Deagle as a strong secondary option.

If their shield is destroyed before they are, they will switch to an SKO-12 shotgun, which uses detachable magazines, not loose shells to reload. The pistol having no sights is probably an artifact of reusing the player-available model that has an alternative iron sight option and as such isn't part of the barrel/slide and forgotten by developers in an oversight.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor's a decent alternative to the Crosskill with a slightly larger magazine and a similar mod pool, and with the advantage of the other Payday Steam Group guns of being unlocked at Level 0.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22's a weird gun at first, with similar statistics to the other non-9mm PAYDAY offerings and middling accuracy. However, it has a deep pool of ammo to play with, alongside the Chimano standard high concealment making it both a good backup option with large reserves and a useful stealth option with higher power than the Gruber.

[[File:PD2 G22 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the .40 S&W markings on the slide, denoting a Glock 22 variant. Also note the flared magazine-well.]]

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK/S(**)==
The [[Walther PPK/S]] pistol appears as the "Gruber Kurz", perhaps a reference to the PPK's intended usage by the villain Hans Gruber in the 1988 film ''[[Die Hard]]'', though it was swapped out for a [[Heckler & Koch P7|P7M13]] in the final cut. The "Kurz" also seems to imply that the developers have made the immensely common mistake of taking the "K" in its name to stand for "Kurz", as it does with most German firearms, such as the [[Karabiner 98k]], [[G36K]], or [[MP5K]]. In reality, the K stands for "Kriminal", as it was the variant of the [[Walther PP]] that was designed for criminal investigators. It was added as part of the Armored Transport DLC, and it was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

Sure it has low damage, sure it isn't exactly accurate, but the Gruber puts its cards in concealment and having enough ammo to pick off every single camera on a stealth map. Don't knock it till you try it.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC.

This is the Crosskill except better in most to all departments, same damage and overall ammo pool but with better concealment, accuracy and available from the get-go at Level 0.
[[file:P226R.jpg|thumb|none|350px|SIG-Sauer P226R - 9x19mm. The one in-game is a .40 S&W model.]]

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23.

The Broomstick is an oddball, arguably a gun that's been reworked to death to find a niche. Initially a fun alternative to the standard non-9mm sidearms limited by mods, it's now more so a pocket DMR with the extended magazine, stock, barrel and scope giving it a role as a silly M-308 in your pocket.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle. A frighteningly powerful pistol for the money, limited by low ammo and high recoil.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s. This model is the same as in ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', and different from the "Crosskill Chunky Compact" model.

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

Of the Federales machine pistol trio, the Igor aims for maximum damage over anything else with Chimano Custom levels of power and a fun switch for good measure. This means it also has the thinnest pool of reserve ammo of any of the trio, with a low pickup rate and bad recoil to keep you from having too much fun.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

Boring and placid with normal damage, the Czech is the moderate option of the Funky Bunch. Good reserve ammo amounts and the only issue being recoil like its brothers, this leaves the gun as the perfect sidearm to do risky main armaments with. Because nothing says fun like the saw.

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

You'd think the lower damage of the Bernetti Auto would be a good thing and it would if it wasn't low enough to keep headbutting its own ammo pool. Low ammo capacity, worse replacement mags and its biggest parlor trick letting you play RoboCop don't really save this thing from getting sidelined by everything, even the STRYK.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9mm". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

Someone has stolen the Contractor's stats and applied it to this gun, which is fairly ironic given the H9 was to appear in one of the John Wick movies. Take those same pros and cons, add on the ability to actually swap grips on this thing and you'd have the HOLT dead to rights.

==Colt M1911/M1911A1 Hybrid(**)==
The [[Colt M1911]] and [[Colt M1911A1]] hybrid was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "Crosskill Chunky Compact".

Neither really chunky or compact, the Compact Chunky is a White Streak mixed with the ol' normal Crosskill. High damage, high rate of fire and higher than its rivals, it's not a terrible sidearm albeit capped off by a very limited mod pool to work with.

==Tokarev TT-33(**)==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" with akimbo option as "Káng Arms Model 54". Its name refers to the Chinese copy of the pistol, the [[Norinco Type 54]], however, the in-game pistol is based on the Russian version. Both single and dual wielded variants can mount an underbarrel shotgun attachment similar to the one in ''[[Kingsman: The Secret Service]]''.

Initially, this looks like another Crosskill. Same 85 damage stat, same relative accuracy, same amount of pros and cons until we get to that shotgun attachment. The ability to throw a blast of 850 damage shotshell into a target with decent concealment is a very fun trick to have on call.

==SilencerCo Maxim 9(**)==
The [[SilencerCo Maxim 9]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Gecko M2". It is integrally suppressed as you'd expect.

The Gecko exists so we can retire the meta of the silenced Judge. Yes, it's suppressed, and it has low ammo but this is powerful, accurate and allows you to push corpses out of the way so you don't immediately get caught just after you finally solved that guard's pager.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite its .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

It is without question one of the most hilarious guns in the game. Beyond the fact that the Judge is tiny, thus making it plus a Silent Killer suppressor the defacto stealth build meta, this gun has the damage of the game's double barreled shotguns combined with a ungodly fast rate of fire and a quick reload. Whenever you see a Judge come into a player's inventory, prepare for hijinks.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]].

The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

==Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model(**)==
The [[Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model]] was added to the game in the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack" with akimbo option as "Frenchman Model 87".

Decent accuracy, damage and a high ammo pool, the Frenchman is like a lot of the other historical firearms in PAYDAY, a fun sidegrade for a match or two. And that's about it, don't use this thing past the sell-by date.

==RSh-12(**)==
The [[RSh-12]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "RUS-12 Angry Tiger". Like the Five-seveN and sniper rifles, it has the ability to puncture armor, shields, and walls. And just like the Five-seveN, it has no akimbo option, likely for balancing reasons.

Stupidly high damage, stupidly low capacity and reserve ammo, stupidly fast fire rate for a 12.7mm handcannon and having the utter lunacy to have little to no drop off in damage so you can 100% whip this thing out of your pocket and turn the head of a sniper 200 yards away into strawberry danish filling. Nuttier than a bag of hammers.

==Korth NXA==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Kahn .357" is a [[Korth Combat|Korth NXS]] with a red-anodized barrel shroud and red/black laminate grip known as Korth NXA; this makes ''PD2'' the weapon's first known appearance.

As gamer as it looks, the Kahn's stats are bonkers. Deagle damage, good accuracy and the ability to swap the cylinders and make it do EVEN more damage on top of adding attachments like lights and any flavor of red dot that goes on a rifle? Yeah, you've got a winner even if it looks like an eyesore with every modification.

[[File:Pd2 korth (11).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Kahn's modifications can essentially turn it into a Korth STX, albeit retaining some features of the NXS frame such as the distinctive cylinder release. The underbarrel gadgets are moved to the right side as there's no longer an underbarrel rail. Both grip alternatives are based on real things (one of them is a familiar Hogue product). Funnily enough, both single and dual-wielded revolvers can exchange their eight-round cylinder for a six-round one, but both versions only reduce the capacity by 2, meaning the akimbo six-shooters can somehow be fired seven times before needing to reload.]]

[[File:Pd2 korth (14).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The hammers are also animated. The reload, however, is done entirely off-screen.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMGs go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models as listed below.

Like the real steel, the Compact 5 is a boringly effective 9mm gun that can be spun in many ways that still keep it nice, boring and functional. Compact ones make perfect stealth SMGs, the deep ammo pool keeps it a popular albeit anemic sidearm, it just works.

===Heckler & Koch MP5/10===

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired. While in a real P90 the ammo points towards the left, in game the rounds point towards the right; interestingly this seems to be an artistic decision (or just a goof) instead of related to using airsoft guns as references, as most airsoft P90s do have their dummy rounds pointing the right way.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a strange gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options.

An unusable [[Thompson M1A1]] can be seen on display as part of Aldstone the butler's antique and heirloom collections in his quarters.

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

Another cheap Level 0 weapon, the M/45 is almost fun with its high damage, decent accuracy and good concealment with the folded stock. That being said it is a king of low reserve ammo (only starting with one mag) that knee caps its potential a tad.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC.

Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development.

The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds.

The M11/9 is a weird alternative to a standard SMG high rate of fire SMG like the Mark 10 or the MP7, with a similar fast fire rate, good ammo pickup and decent damage. That being said there's little to be done with those classic Cobray sights, like the Thompson any replacement is mounted far out on the front sight, and the reload is dreadfully slow.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines.

The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack".

This occupies a similar slot to the other bullet hose SMGs, albeit with the fastest ROF in the SMG category and almost the fastest in the game bar the MG42 and Miniguns. It reloads nice and fast, is relatively stable and all around a decent option, should you get over the lack of sight mods and come to terms with lovely 90s irons.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded.

It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece). Same basic points, but now it's Das Vidanya.

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine. It's chunky, fires faster than you think and works well enough as a medium damage/ROF side piece to more larger primaries.

The impersonation is less than perfect as the USC stock is not integral to the gun's frame, plus the UMP's stock hinge, 3-point fire selector switch and gadget rails remain attached to the weapon.]]

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, it's cursed with Russian Weapon Pack disorder of having little mods to its name beyond the basics.

That being said, the Tatonka's very good. Sure it lacks total ammo and does frankly silly amounts of damage for a 9x18 SMG from the Yeltsin years but it's accurate, shelf stable and compact. Plus you have full Bizon mags. Only two to three of them but a full 64 round mag stock is lovely.

==MP40(**)==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines.

Fires relatively fast but not so fast you lose track of ammo, has a decent bit of mods to its name and was the first dual wield SMG so one could walk into a battle with three different MPX's on them should they desire. The Signature's as you'd expect for a tie-in promo gun.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz(**)==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "AK Gen 21 Tactical".

A slightly less powerful but much more versatile Tatonka, which is very on the nose given the Vityaz is a de-helical mag'd Bizon with mild improvements. More ammo, similar-ish damage, good ammo pool, the only thing this doesn't have going for it is not being able to take all of PD2's AK mods which is a stretch of a demerit.

==Minebea M-9(**)==
The [[Minebea M-9]] with its front grip removed was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" with akimbo option as "Miyaka 10 Special".

Filled with angry bees, the Miyaka is a Micro Uzi/Mark 10 fusion. For one, high rate of fire, decent damage and good enough concealment to keep it as a good gun even if you did accidently alert the authorities. On the other hand it fires so fast it eats the magazines up in seconds and it lacks any accuracy whatsoever. So y'know, what you'd expect from a M-9.

==Magpul FDC-9(**)==
The new semi-auto carbine version of the [[Magpul FMG-9]], the FDC-9, was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Wasp-DS". Unlike the real FDC-9 (and like the FMG-9 it descended from), the Wasp-DS is fully-automatic; firing at 1333 rounds a minute, it takes the crown of the the highest unmodded rate of fire in the game, being beaten only by the CZ-75 and Beretta 93R with the 50% ROF boost from the Aced "Gun Nut" skill. The weapon's blazing rate of fire is tempered by the complete lack of ability to use optics and a painfully long draw/holster animation that discourages the user from switching to a primary.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

The in-game model is depicted with a smooth top cover rather than a ribbed one. Additionally, while the weapon does have the folding stock's button at the rear of the receiver, it has some characteristics of a fixed-stock AK-74, namely the lack of a latch on the receiver's left side (for keeping the stock folded), and the presence of only two rivets at the rear as opposed to three.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The UAR works. That's the gimmick. For basegame players, this gun is a boringly reliable full auto rifle with more damage output than the CAR or AK with good stability and accuracy hindered by being so middling. You can't really complain since it works well enough but once you get access to funner stuff, the UAR fades out in favor of silly primaries.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

What was once the high damage assault rifle option that made you keep in mind you only were able to stuff three spare mags on your heister is now a boring albeit effective weapon for someone latched to Fully Loaded. Powerful, accurate, relatively stable especially when modded and most importantly, allowing you to roll out like Jean Baptise with the gold version if you want.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have, and that the full auto switch does work.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

The attachment's name is a reference to ''[[The A-Team]]'', whose protagonists made frequent use of folding-stocked Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.

[[File:Payday2 Ak 5 preview-b.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.]]
===Ak 5C===
The modernized [[FN FNC#Specifications - Ak 5C|Bofors Ak 5C]] comes together by replacing almost everything that comes off the receiver.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to keep on top of to use right. Not that it's bad, far from it, similar damage output to the AKMS but with a higher rate of fire, more stability and more interesting mods like the DMR kit that allow this to go full sniper rifle if you want to. But it still hits its own low ammo pool constantly, and you need to keep track of ammo so you're not stuck with one mag every 10 minutes.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies.

The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon.

In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kind of sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.

[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle.

The Clarion's a deceiving gun - at first, you think it's a normal assault rifle that operates like any other; once you actually use it, however, you'll quickly discover that it's a fast-firing bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment, making it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 35 rounds in the 25-round magazine (Update 210 increase this from 30 to 35, possibly due to confusing the 5.56 and 7.62 version) and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs.

The fact that this thing has been reworked about 5 to 6 times tells you what you need to know. The Gecko's an oddball. Weirdly specific mods that don't really compliment a build beyond shooting it wildly, decent damage, unbridled effective hipfire accuracy and enough ammo pickups that keep you alive longer than you'd think. That doesn't really solve how weird this thing is but it is trying.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine.

While in standard form the Gewehr is a decent battle rifle with high-ish damage, a good ROF and comparable to its stable mates of the Eagle Heavy or Falcon. The mods spin this into some interesting departments. The Assault barrel makes this into a slightly less powerful but more interesting close range bruiser, with a deep ammo pool to work with. The DMR kit makes it a very effective helmet popper that can hit the 100 Accuracy statistic without much of a sweat. Pick your flavor.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction.

With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar".

The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine.

Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model.

And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others. but it's in a slot that you shouldn't arguably have it in.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock.

It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant).

And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

Like a union, it's boring, effective enough for what it is and does a job so well enough that you can't really notice it. It's a reliable bullethose that has no mods to really spice it up beyond the two listed above, decent ammo pickup and stability and not much else.

[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 selector.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While its appearance might mislead players into thinking it is a converted FS2000, the 3-point fire selector begs to differ.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

==OTs-14-4A Groza(**)==
The [[OTs-14-4A Groza]] assault rifle/grenade launcher complex was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2". It introduces the "electric grenades" which it uses by default, but can be switched for the more generic explosive ones.

This is the gun you make your friend use after he grenaded a group of cops and fragged a few civvies. The electro grenades of the Byk allow yo to fry some pork without cooking anything else in the meal, and the high fire rate, good damage and speedpull mags make this an effective brawler. But like the Little Friend, it lacks a lot of ammo and requires you to have some modicum of patience. Because the rifle is a Groza and has a fire rate on par with a MAC-10.

==ShAK-12 (**)==
The [[ShAK-12]] also known as ASh-12 was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "KS12 Urban".

t's a ShAK, you expect high power, low rate of fire and a beast of a gun that lets you pop as many heads as possible and what you see is what you get for the most part. It's powerful, loud, effective, has low total ammo and an abysmal accuracy reflecting the issues of 12.7x55mm better than most games do.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and a 6-position stock attached with a LAW Tactical folding buffer tube adapter, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

It still lacks any obvious source for the taser projectile to come from.]]

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16.

A boringly reliable, boringly effective, decently accurate, very stable, quick firing, deep ammo pool having, sausage stuffing, kraut eating, easy joke making rifle. Do you need much else? It's a G36.
[[file:HKG36KR.jpg|thumb|500px|none|Heckler & Koch G36KV - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 G36K preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The standard issue JP36. G36K and G36KV are all but indistinguishable these days, but the Navy style fire selector shows that this G36 is a KV.

[[File:Payday2 G36K attachments1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Festooned with toys.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

[[File:Pd2 x olympic (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting. The railed handguard is based on the one seen on the LR300, and is even named in the game files after it.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles.

In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.

[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout.

And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets. Which to be fair, it does very well.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles. The upper receiver of the rifle is modeled after the Noveske upper used on the actual TTI TR-1, but they are only made for AR-15s, not the .308/7.62x51mm AR-10.]]

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21".

It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer.

The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it doesn't have a good pickup rate and sure there are better options but it's reliable and that's more important in the thick of it.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches.

The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

The Izhma's always been a weird shotgun to make work right. Low damage makes it less effective as far as a shotgun goes, and not helped by even mods that barely get this thing to scrape the high 70's. That being said it is also easy to keep topped up and fires fast enough to keep you on your toes and able to sweep enemies well with headshots. Good for lower ranks, pushing this thing to OVERKILL isn't ideal.

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate.

That is not a joke, it's an Izhma on steroids. Sure it has less damage than a Chimano, and yes it fires slower than the Izhma but that doesn't matter because it has a spread like a sawn off, has the same deep reserves of ammo and picks it back up so fast that you can dump the mags, reload and be back to blast again before you can say "wait, what?".

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39.

While it's only a two shot gun, the Mosconi is delightfully entertaining in how it works. 155 damage out the pipe with two to use, decently accurate and with a list of downsides that you'd expect since it's a double barreled shotgun and this isn't Tombstone, Arizona. That being said, the shotgun is delightfully entertaining, both stock, with big whoop 00 or the forever delightful combo of a sawn off Mosconi with frag shells.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who doesn't have the shotgun DLC and wishes for all of the fun with a dash of 80's zest. Which also means this is a middlingly effective heavy shotgun that fires fast, reloads fast, doesn't burn out your early bank account and will last about as long in your lineup as a cheap pair of Wal-Mart sneakers.

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E.

While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube.

Initially you look at this thing, middling damage, decent but mediocre accuracy and a good enough for a shotgun concealability and think it's not worth your time. And you are almost right until you get this thing into a battle, panic click and find out this Benelli sends out shots fast as snot. All of the Izhma fun without a fun switch!

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game was added with the Gage Shotgun DLC and depicted, typically for a game, with a continuous tube rather than two separate ones.

If you want a silenced shotgun to compliment the Judge with a oil cleaner you have shoved into a holster, this is your go-to. Perfectly compact enough to be a powerful mainline stealth arm and with enough damage, rate of fire and some accuracy to be a good gun when shit goes south.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

The big tube on the end is an exclusive fictional integral suppressor.]]

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC). It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto.

With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine.

There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

==Winchester Model 1897 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack", confusingly named the "Reinfeld 88".

As the name sort of implies, this is a Reinfeld abridged shotgun. Same basic mechanics of a pump shotgun but with more damage, a higher rate of fire akin to the Loco in the primary slot and the ability to make this thing very compact for a high damage dodge/crit build, if you can look yourself in the soul and say "Am I willing to saw down a 100 year old shotgun for better stats?"

==Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser (**)==
The [[Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser]] with buffer tube adapter was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" as "Mosconi 12G Tactical".

Read what I said about the 88, copy it down to here with the bonus of a few mods and we have basically the same thing. You wanted some fancy words? No.

==Baikal MP-155 Ultima(**)==
The [[Baikal MP-155 Ultima]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Argos III".

Take our good friend Mr. Loco, make him semi automatic, give it a fast reload since we've now learned how to load TWO shells at once and then also give it an ammo pool wide enough that you can keep this thing as a primary warm while you're busy doing the busy work for the team with the saw. It's a boringly functional set up for a gamer gun.

==Standard Manufacturing SKO-12(**)==
The [[Standard Manufacturing SKO-12]] was added to the game in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2", under the name "VD-12". Two variants are available, a standard SKO-12 with a 25-round drum magazine (that incorrectly holds 28 rounds), and an SKO-12 Shorty with a 9-round magazine (that holds an also-incorrect 10); the latter version is only available in dual-wielded form, making it the first dual-wielded version of a primary weapon.

Because the Steakout didn't have enough power or ammo for you, you may now have a Turkish shotgun. Slow rate of fire to maximize the accuracy of your shot, a drum so deep you'd struggle to run out of ammo even with that withering 65 damage of and a pickup that's almost Steakout levels of good but not quite there. It's trying, though.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game.

While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns.

Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

[[File:PD2 M240 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The M240 fitted with the "Lion's bipod" and "Plastic stock", the latter being more in line with a proper M240 stock.]]

==M60(**)==
The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

Ironically given it's an M60, the gun most people expect to go Rambo with and fire wildly, this thing boasts one of the best accuracy stats in the entire LMG tree alongside good ammo pickup, damage and the deep, deep wells that are 200 round 7.62 NATO drums. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it, shocker, fires slow. Oh no, it lets you maximize damage, what ever will we do.

==Vollmer HK51-B(**)==
The [[Vollmer HK51-B]] was added to the game as part of the "McShay Weapon Pack". This is the first (and currently the only) machine gun to use sights.

Now you see the fact that this gun DOES allow you to use sights and you know that OVERKILL is Faustian in how it gives you such nice things. You're 100% right, this thing's got more problems than a Craigslist beater. Low stability, low accuracy, lowest total ammo in the entire LMG catagory, good concealability which you probably don't care for as an LMG and no bipods. Have fun!

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls. This model originates from ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', but it actually uses different textures in Raid.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine.

A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine.

The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

[[File:PD2 R93 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The R93 fitted with the "Wooden Body" giving it a similar look to the rifle pictured above.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage.

If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily which counts as a building in DC, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M91/30 (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M91/30]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

By default it is fitted with a fictional barrel the length of which appears to be in between an actual M91/30 and a M38 carbine and that seems to roughly align with that of M1907 carbine. Despite that, the in-game version isn't an actual M1907 carbine due to the lack of its very distinct rear sight block, as well as the presence of M91/30 rear sight and front sight hood.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification.

With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine.

If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter].

And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish.

The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian.

The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom plays a lot of weird hands. High concealability, which is hilarious given a SVD is the length of several small children, good ammo pickup and a nice and fast reload, all of the fun of sniper chaos with the chance for cosmoline in the joints.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.

The fact it's a 700P, the predecessor to the more modern MSR and take the same logic to the stats here. Same shit, different toilet.

The "Military Stock" for the Model 700 is a Magpul 700L chassis.

==Norinco QBU-88(**)==
The [[Norinco QBU-88]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2".

The Kang, and yes that is its real name, is a Contractor tier fast shot sniper rifle aiming to be the way to solve the constant problem of shield hoards. Fast rate of fire, mag change and the key thing, high stability stats makes this Beijing brawler not a bad choice if you're willing to forgive its middling returns on the damage investment.

==Marlin Model 1895(**)==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack".

A Repeater that lets you put red dots on it, a rifle with weirdly specific damage, a high rate of fire, dogshit accuracy and a scope so bad you will never use it. Sounds about right for a modernized .45-70 Government lever action that has the magical power to punch through riot shields.

==Steyr Scout(**)==
The [[Steyr Scout]] was added to the game in the McShay Weapon Pack under the name of "Pronghorn Sniper Rifle". It is the first sniper rifle in the secondary weapon slot.

Beyond asking the question of how we stuff an entire Steyr Scout into the secondary slot, the Pronghorn works. It has decent damage, the ability to use iron sights, good mods, good concealability, a good all rounder in a slot that you would not expect to put a rifle like the Steyr Scout in.

==SAINT Victor .308 AR-10 Rifle (**)==
The SAINT Victor .308 was added to the game in "A Criminal Carol" 2022 holiday event under the name of "North Star Sniper Rifle". Following the Steyr Scout, this is the second secondary slot sniper rifle.

The Rifle of the North Star (yo wa shock) operates in a similar veign to the Pronghorn. The Pronghorn is a standard bolt action sniper rifle shrunk to fit in your pocket by the magical bag of holding, and this is the same thing for a whole mess of semi snipers. 160 damage, fast rate of fire, good concealment, no ammo and not much in reserves.

===Hera Arms conversion===
It's "exclusive set" basically converts the entire thing into a Hera Arms short-barreled AR-10 rifle.
[[File:Pd2 victor (9).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The conversion replaces every part except the magazine and the front grip. The Hera Arms CQR Gen.2 stock is currently unavailable for AR-10/15 platform weapons in-game and is unique to this rifle.]]

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt.

The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds.

Problem is that it's a GL40 with six chambers you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore. Have fun trying to reload this as a bulldozer barrels at you like a freight train.

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game.

It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday).

Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon. So you can whip out this fun surprise at any time!

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers.

That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference. It does require some ASININE requirements to get it though, so most players opt for other methods of shock and awe.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)).

Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm.

It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

[[File:PD2 M320 aiming.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Iron sights. Disappointingly, the M320's leaf sight is not actually usable, not even as a gadget like that of the M79 and China Lake.

==Metal Storm 3GL(**)==
The [[Metal Storm 3GL]] under the alias of "Basilisk 3V Grenade Launcher" was added the the game as part of McShay Weapon Pack, which also introduces poison gas grenade modifications to all grenade launchers. This secondary weapon only fires in a slow full-auto, but its reloading can be cancelled partway for conserving ammo and doing less collateral damage.

The burst fire of the Metal Storm system makes it interesting, although it is some low damage for a secondary slot grenade launcher. That being said having one that can dump the contents of itself in a few seconds is an advantage, especially as it's dumping out poisonous gas that is more than likely a violation of the Geneva Conventions. But the cops failed to stop you from breaking into the White House to steal a pardon signed by Abraham Lincoln so I doubt the concerns of international law really matter anymore.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

[[File:PD2 M84 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Previewing the M84; note how it only has one pin, rather than the real grenade's two. While this could be excused by saying that the upper pin has simply been removed, there doesn't even appear to be a hole for it in the fuze assembly.]]
[[File:PD2 M84 misc2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|An M84 grenade on the floor. Note that the grenade's spoon actually flies off and is seen laying on the ground.]]

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

[[File:PD2 ANM14 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Throwing an incendiary grenade (which looks massive due to perspective) into a tire pyre.]]

==VOG-25P Khattabka Grenade (**)==
The "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" DLC added, among other things, the "X1-ZAPper" grenade, a VOG-25P-based [[Khattabka grenade]]; unlike its real-world counterpart (a makeshift frag grenade made from a 40mm grenade launcher round with a hand grenade's fuze assembly), the X1 functions as an electric grenade, shocking any enemy caught in its blast radius.
[[File:VOG-25P Khattabka.jpg|thumb|none|350px|VOG-25P-based Khattabka grenades with UZRGM fuzes]]

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay.

It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]

==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

It's a Minigun for those who didn't get the Overkill pack, which would be a complaint if it wasn't hilariously funny to trot into a combat encounter with either weapon.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]

=="Hailstorm Mk 5"==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Hailstorm Mk 5" is a fictional weapon loosely based on the [[Magpul PDR]] visually, and the [[Metal Storm]] "Bertha" technology demonstrator rig conceptually. It holds 120 rounds in a 5x3 set of partly-removable barrels (with the forward section of the barrels remaining in place, and the rear section being detached as a single large block in a manner similar to the conceptually-analogous "Typhoon" from ''[[Crysis 3]]''), and features an integral laser sight, flashlight, and optic (complete with an electronic round counter). Its only available modifications are textured grip pads and alternate barrels (or rather, barrel extensions, since they seemingly all attach to the end of the existing ones) - an extended set, an integrally-suppressed set, and an extended, integrally-suppressed set - alongside a unique "Prototype" exclusive set that gives it a boxier upper receiver and a somewhat battered, unfinished look; this set's name would make a fair bit more sense if the basic version wasn't already marked "PROTOTYPE R-033".

Gameplay-wise, the Hailstorm is effectively two guns in one, with its two firemodes functioning completely differently - it can either fire in full-auto at a downright ludicrous 2,000 RPM (on par with the XM556 above; for trivia's sake, however, it's still a fair bit shy of the "Bertha" rig upon which it was based, whose 36 9mm barrels together managed ''1,000,000'' RPM), or in a "volley-shot" mode that fires every barrel at once, essentially turning it into a semi-automatic shotgun that can pierce ballistic shields; presumably for balance-related reasons, the latter mode has a short charge-up period before each shot, and consumes 30 rounds per volley despite only firing 15 "projectiles" gameplay-wise.

[[File:Pd2 hailstorm (8).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the fresh one in like a glorified P90.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game. Boring, reliable, decent damage with little to write home about beyond a good concealment stat for early game stealth runs.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

Slightly lower damage of the Chimano but with a full auto switch and mods that help make this a perfect gun to panic pull out and spray at a hallway of SWAT officers.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful pistols in the game, and that's saying something after so many updates that have added similar high power, slow ROF handcannons. The flexible mod list and allowing this thing to take magnified optics has kept the Deagle as a strong secondary option.

If their shield is destroyed before they are, they will switch to an SKO-12 shotgun, which uses detachable magazines, not loose shells to reload. The pistol having no sights is probably an artifact of reusing the player-available model that has an alternative iron sight option and as such isn't part of the barrel/slide and forgotten by developers in an oversight.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor's a decent alternative to the Crosskill with a slightly larger magazine and a similar mod pool, and with the advantage of the other Payday Steam Group guns of being unlocked at Level 0.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22's a weird gun at first, with similar statistics to the other non-9mm PAYDAY offerings and middling accuracy. However, it has a deep pool of ammo to play with, alongside the Chimano standard high concealment making it both a good backup option with large reserves and a useful stealth option with higher power than the Gruber.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International.

The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush.

==Walther PPK/S(**)==
The [[Walther PPK/S]] pistol appears as the "Gruber Kurz", perhaps a reference to the PPK's intended usage by the villain Hans Gruber in the 1988 film ''[[Die Hard]]'', though it was swapped out for a [[Heckler & Koch P7|P7M13]] in the final cut. The "Kurz" also seems to imply that the developers have made the immensely common mistake of taking the "K" in its name to stand for "Kurz", as it does with most German firearms, such as the [[Karabiner 98k]], [[G36K]], or [[MP5K]]. In reality, the K stands for "Kriminal", as it was the variant of the [[Walther PP]] that was designed for criminal investigators. It was added as part of the Armored Transport DLC, and it was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

Sure it has low damage, sure it isn't exactly accurate, but the Gruber puts its cards in concealment and having enough ammo to pick off every single camera on a stealth map. Don't knock it till you try it.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC.

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23.

The Broomstick is an oddball, arguably a gun that's been reworked to death to find a niche. Initially a fun alternative to the standard non-9mm sidearms limited by mods, it's now more so a pocket DMR with the extended magazine, stock, barrel and scope giving it a role as a silly M-308 in your pocket.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle. A frighteningly powerful pistol for the money, limited by low ammo and high recoil.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s. This model is the same as in ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', and different from the "Crosskill Chunky Compact" model.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

Of the Federales machine pistol trio, the Igor aims for maximum damage over anything else with Chimano Custom levels of power and a fun switch for good measure. This means it also has the thinnest pool of reserve ammo of any of the trio, with a low pickup rate and bad recoil to keep you from having too much fun.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

Boring and placid with normal damage, the Czech is the moderate option of the Funky Bunch. Good reserve ammo amounts and the only issue being recoil like its brothers, this leaves the gun as the perfect sidearm to do risky main armaments with. Because nothing says fun like the saw.

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

You'd think the lower damage of the Bernetti Auto would be a good thing and it would if it wasn't low enough to keep headbutting its own ammo pool. Low ammo capacity, worse replacement mags and its biggest parlor trick letting you play RoboCop don't really save this thing from getting sidelined by everything, even the STRYK.

==Hudson H9(**)==
The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9mm". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

Someone has stolen the Contractor's stats and applied it to this gun, which is fairly ironic given the H9 was to appear in one of the John Wick movies. Take those same pros and cons, add on the ability to actually swap grips on this thing and you'd have the HOLT dead to rights.

==Colt M1911/M1911A1 Hybrid(**)==
The [[Colt M1911]] and [[Colt M1911A1]] hybrid was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "Crosskill Chunky Compact".

Neither really chunky or compact, the Compact Chunky is a White Streak mixed with the ol' normal Crosskill. High damage, high rate of fire and higher than its rivals, it's not a terrible sidearm albeit capped off by a very limited mod pool to work with.

==Tokarev TT-33(**)==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" with akimbo option as "Káng Arms Model 54". Its name refers to the Chinese copy of the pistol, the [[Norinco Type 54]], however, the in-game pistol is based on the Russian version. Both single and dual wielded variants can mount an underbarrel shotgun attachment similar to the one in ''[[Kingsman: The Secret Service]]''.

Initially, this looks like another Crosskill. Same 85 damage stat, same relative accuracy, same amount of pros and cons until we get to that shotgun attachment. The ability to throw a blast of 850 damage shotshell into a target with decent concealment is a very fun trick to have on call.

==SilencerCo Maxim 9(**)==
The [[SilencerCo Maxim 9]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Gecko M2". It is integrally suppressed as you'd expect.

The Gecko exists so we can retire the meta of the silenced Judge. Yes, it's suppressed, and it has low ammo but this is powerful, accurate and allows you to push corpses out of the way so you don't immediately get caught just after you finally solved that guard's pager.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite its .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

It is without question one of the most hilarious guns in the game. Beyond the fact that the Judge is tiny, thus making it plus a Silent Killer suppressor the defacto stealth build meta, this gun has the damage of the game's double barreled shotguns combined with a ungodly fast rate of fire and a quick reload. Whenever you see a Judge come into a player's inventory, prepare for hijinks.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]].

The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

==Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model(**)==
The [[Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model]] was added to the game in the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack" with akimbo option as "Frenchman Model 87".

Decent accuracy, damage and a high ammo pool, the Frenchman is like a lot of the other historical firearms in PAYDAY, a fun sidegrade for a match or two. And that's about it, don't use this thing past the sell-by date.

==RSh-12(**)==
The [[RSh-12]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "RUS-12 Angry Tiger". Like the Five-seveN and sniper rifles, it has the ability to puncture armor, shields, and walls. And just like the Five-seveN, it has no akimbo option, likely for balancing reasons.

Stupidly high damage, stupidly low capacity and reserve ammo, stupidly fast fire rate for a 12.7mm handcannon and having the utter lunacy to have little to no drop off in damage so you can 100% whip this thing out of your pocket and turn the head of a sniper 200 yards away into strawberry danish filling. Nuttier than a bag of hammers.

==Korth NXA==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Kahn .357" is a [[Korth Combat|Korth NXS]] with a red-anodized barrel shroud and red/black laminate grip known as Korth NXA; this makes ''PD2'' the weapon's first known appearance.

As gamer as it looks, the Kahn's stats are bonkers. Deagle damage, good accuracy and the ability to swap the cylinders and make it do EVEN more damage on top of adding attachments like lights and any flavor of red dot that goes on a rifle? Yeah, you've got a winner even if it looks like an eyesore with every modification.

The underbarrel gadgets are moved to the right side as there's no longer an underbarrel rail. Both grip alternatives are based on real things (one of them is a familiar Hogue product). Funnily enough, both single and dual-wielded revolvers can exchange their eight-round cylinder for a six-round one, but both versions only reduce the capacity by 2, meaning the akimbo six-shooters can somehow be fired seven times before needing to reload.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models as listed below.

Like the real steel, the Compact 5 is a boringly effective 9mm gun that can be spun in many ways that still keep it nice, boring and functional. Compact ones make perfect stealth SMG's, the deep ammo pool keeps it a popular albeit anemic sidearm, it just works.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired. While in a real P90 the ammo points towards the left, in game the rounds point towards the right; interestingly this seems to be an artistic decision (or just a goof) instead of related to using airsoft guns as references, as most airsoft P90s do have their dummy rounds pointing the right way.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a strange gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options.

==Thompson M1A1==
An unusable [[Thompson M1A1]] can be seen on display as part of Aldstone the butler's antique and heirloom collections in his quarters. Several are also seen in display cases in the McKendrick Museum's WW2-themed room found in the heist "The Diamond". This model is the same as in ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', and shares nothing with the "Chicago Typewriter" available to heisters.

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

Another cheap Level 0 weapon, the M/45 is almost fun with its high damage, decent accuracy and good concealment with the folded stock. That being said it is a king of low reserve ammo (only starting with one mag) that knee caps its potential a tad.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC.

Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development.

The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds.

The M11/9 is a weird alternative to a standard SMG high rate of fire SMG like the Mark 10 or the MP7, with a similar fast fire rate, good ammo pickup and decent damage. That being said there's little to be done with those classic Cobray sights, like the Thompson any replacement is mounted far out on the front sight, and the reload is dreadfully slow.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines.

The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

This occupies a similar slot to the other bullet hose SMG's, albeit with the fastest ROF in the SMG category and almost the fastest in the game bar the MG42 and Miniguns. It reloads nice and fast, is relatively stable and all around a decent option, should you get over the lack of sight mods and come to terms with lovely 90's irons.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded.

It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece). Same basic points, but now it's Das Vidanya.

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine. It's chunky, fires faster than you think and works well enough as a medium damage/ROF side piece to more larger primaries.

The impersonation is less than perfect as the USC stock is not integral to the gun's frame, plus the UMP's stock hinge, 3-point fire selector switch and gadget rails remain attached to the weapon.]]

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, it's cursed with Russian Weapon Pack disorder of having little mods to its name beyond the basics.

That being said, the Tatonka's very good. Sure it lacks total ammo and does frankly silly amounts of damage for a 9x18 SMG from the Yeltsin years but it's accurate, shelf stable and compact. Plus you have full Bizon mags. Only two to three of them but a full 64 round mag stock is lovely.

==MP40(**)==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

[[File:PD2 MP40 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Despite being proportioned after a real MP40 magazine, the in-game iteration stocks 40 rounds per box as opposed to the standard 32 (usually down-loaded to 30).

==SIG-Sauer MPX(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines.

Fires relatively fast but not so fast you lose track of ammo, has a decent bit of mods to its name and was the first dual wield SMG so one could walk into a battle with three different MPX's on them should they desire. The Signature's as you'd expect for a tie-in promo gun.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz(**)==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "AK Gen 21 Tactical".

A slightly less powerful but much more versatile Tatonka, which is very on the nose given the Vityaz is a de-helical mag'd Bizon with mild improvements. More ammo, similar-ish damage, good ammo pool, the only thing this doesn't have going for it is not being able to take all of PD2's AK mods which is a stretch of a demerit.

==Minebea M-9(**)==
The [[Minebea M-9]] with its front grip removed was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" with akimbo option as "Miyaka 10 Special".

Filled with angry bees, the Miyaka is a Micro Uzi/Mark 10 fusion. For one, high rate of fire, decent damage and good enough concealment to keep it as a good gun even if you did accidently alert the authorities. On the other hand it fires so fast it eats the magazines up in seconds and it lacks any accuracy whatsoever. So y'know, what you'd expect from a M-9.

==Magpul FDC-9(**)==
The new semi-auto carbine version of the [[Magpul FMG-9]], the FDC-9, was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Wasp-DS". Unlike the real FDC-9 (and like the FMG-9 it descended from), the Wasp-DS is fully-automatic; firing at 1333 rounds a minute, it takes the crown of the the highest unmodded rate of fire in the game, being beaten only by the CZ-75 and Beretta 93R with the 50% ROF boost from the Aced "Gun Nut" skill. The weapon's blazing rate of fire is tempered by the complete lack of ability to use optics and a painfully long draw/holster animation that discourages the user from switching to a primary.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

The in-game model is depicted with a smooth top cover rather than a ribbed one. Additionally, while the weapon does have the folding stock's button at the rear of the receiver, it has some characteristics of a fixed-stock AK-74, namely the lack of a latch on the receiver's left side (for keeping the stock folded), and the presence of only two rivets at the rear as opposed to three.

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The UAR works. That's the gimmick. For basegame players, this gun is a boringly reliable full auto rifle with more damage output than the CAR or AK with good stability and accuracy hindered by being so middling. You can't really complain since it works well enough but once you get access to funner stuff, the UAR fades out in favor of silly primaries.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

What was once the high damage assault rifle option that made you keep in mind you only were able to stuff three spare mags on your heister is now a boring albeit effective weapon for someone latched to Fully Loaded. Powerful, accurate, relatively stable especially when modded and most importantly, allowing you to roll out like Jean Baptise with the gold version if you want.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have, and that the full auto switch does work.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

The attachment's name is a reference to ''[[The A-Team]]'', whose protagonists made frequent use of folding-stocked Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.

===Ak 5C===

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to keep on top of to use right. Not that it's bad, far from it, similar damage output to the AKMS but with a higher rate of fire, more stability and more interesting mods like the DMR kit that allow this to go full sniper rifle if you want to. But it still hits its own low ammo pool constantly, and you need to keep track of ammo so you're not stuck with one mag every 10 minutes.
[[file:M16A4Standard.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|M16A4 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies.

The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon.

In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kind of sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.

[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle.

The Clarion's a deceiving gun - at first, you think it's a normal assault rifle that operates like any other; once you actually use it, however, you'll quickly discover that it's a fast-firing bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment, making it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 35 rounds in the 25-round magazine (Update 210 increase this from 30 to 35, possibly due to confusing the 5.56 and 7.62 version) and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs.

The fact that this thing has been reworked about 5 to 6 times tells you what you need to know. The Gecko's an oddball. Weirdly specific mods that don't really compliment a build beyond shooting it wildly, decent damage, unbridled effective hipfire accuracy and enough ammo pickups that keep you alive longer than you'd think. That doesn't really solve how weird this thing is but it is trying.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine.

While in standard form the Gewehr is a decent battle rifle with high-ish damage, a good ROF and comparable to its stable mates of the Eagle Heavy or Falcon. The mods spin this into some interesting departments. The Assault barrel makes this into a slightly less powerful but more interesting close range bruiser, with a deep ammo pool to work with. The DMR kit makes it a very effective helmet popper that can hit the 100 Accuracy statistic without much of a sweat. Pick your flavor.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction.

With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar".

The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine.

Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model.

And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others. but it's in a slot that you shouldn't arguably have it in.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock.

It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

Upon switching to launcher mode the player character will actually move his/her hand down to the M203's trigger.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant).

And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

Like a union, it's boring, effective enough for what it is and does a job so well enough that you can't really notice it. It's a reliable bullethose that has no mods to really spice it up beyond the two listed above, decent ammo pickup and stability and not much else.
[[Image:FN F2000 tactical.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN F2000 Tactical - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead. This seems to be in line with whatever prejudice Overkill has against weapons with integral foregrips. ]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 selector.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While its appearance might mislead players into thinking it is a converted FS2000, the 3-point fire selector begs to differ.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

==OTs-14-4A Groza(**)==
The [[OTs-14-4A Groza]] assault rifle/grenade launcher complex was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2". It introduces the "electric grenades" which it uses by default, but can be switched for the more generic explosive ones.

This is the gun you make your friend use after he grenaded a group of cops and fragged a few civvies. The electro grenades of the Byk allow yo to fry some pork without cooking anything else in the meal, and the high fire rate, good damage and speedpull mags make this an effective brawler. But like the Little Friend, it lacks a lot of ammo and requires you to have some modicum of patience. Because the rifle is a Groza and has a fire rate on par with a MAC-10.

==ShAK-12 (**)==
The [[ShAK-12]] also known as ASh-12 was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "KS12 Urban".

t's a ShAK, you expect high power, low rate of fire and a beast of a gun that lets you pop as many heads as possible and what you see is what you get for the most part. It's powerful, loud, effective, has low total ammo and an abysmal accuracy reflecting the issues of 12.7x55mm better than most games do.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and a 6-position stock attached with a LAW Tactical folding buffer tube adapter, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16.

A boringly reliable, boringly effective, decently accurate, very stable, quick firing, deep ammo pool having, sausage stuffing, kraut eating, easy joke making rifle. Do you need much else? It's a G36.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
[[file:Full-k23b.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:K23B Tactical.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Olympic Arms K23B Tactical - 5.56x45mm. The Para gets different rails and no vertical foregrip.]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Para in its basic state. There's more than one model that could claim to be the basis.]]

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles.

In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

This could mean that the magazines are simply retextured AKMSU magazines that are supposed to make the gun look like an AKS-74U.]]

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout.

And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets. Which to be fair, it does very well.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles.

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21".

It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer.

The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it doesn't have a good pickup rate and sure there are better options but it's reliable and that's more important in the thick of it.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches.

The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

The Izhma's always been a weird shotgun to make work right. Low damage makes it less effective as far as a shotgun goes, and not helped by even mods that barely get this thing to scrape the high 70's. That being said it is also easy to keep topped up and fires fast enough to keep you on your toes and able to sweep enemies well with headshots. Good for lower ranks, pushing this thing to OVERKILL isn't ideal.

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate.

That is not a joke, it's an Izhma on steroids. Sure it has less damage than a Chimano, and yes it fires slower than the Izhma but that doesn't matter because it has a spread like a sawn off, has the same deep reserves of ammo and picks it back up so fast that you can dump the mags, reload and be back to blast again before you can say "wait, what?".

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39.

While it's only a two shot gun, the Mosconi is delightfully entertaining in how it works. 155 damage out the pipe with two to use, decently accurate and with a list of downsides that you'd expect since it's a double barreled shotgun and this isn't Tombstone, Arizona. That being said, the shotgun is delightfully entertaining, both stock, with big whoop 00 or the forever delightful combo of a sawn off Mosconi with frag shells.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who doesn't have the shotgun DLC and wishes for all of the fun with a dash of 80's zest. Which also means this is a middlingly effective heavy shotgun that fires fast, reloads fast, doesn't burn out your early bank account and will last about as long in your lineup as a cheap pair of Wal-Mart sneakers.

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E.

While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube.

Initially you look at this thing, middling damage, decent but mediocre accuracy and a good enough for a shotgun concealability and think it's not worth your time. And you are almost right until you get this thing into a battle, panic click and find out this Benelli sends out shots fast as snot. All of the Izhma fun without a fun switch!

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game was added with the Gage Shotgun DLC and depicted, typically for a game, with a continuous tube rather than two separate ones.

If you want a silenced shotgun to compliment the Judge with a oil cleaner you have shoved into a holster, this is your go-to. Perfectly compact enough to be a powerful mainline stealth arm and with enough damage, rate of fire and some accuracy to be a good gun when shit goes south.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC). It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto.

With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine.

There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

Note that cutting down or extending the barrel will also do the same for the magazine tube, but as with most of the other tube-fed shotguns doing so will not affect its capacity.]]

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

==Winchester Model 1897 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack", confusingly named the "Reinfeld 88".

As the name sort of implies, this is a Reinfeld abridged shotgun. Same basic mechanics of a pump shotgun but with more damage, a higher rate of fire akin to the Loco in the primary slot and the ability to make this thing very compact for a high damage dodge/crit build, if you can look yourself in the soul and say "Am I willing to saw down a 100 year old shotgun for better stats?"

==Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser (**)==
The [[Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser]] with buffer tube adapter was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" as "Mosconi 12G Tactical".

Read what I said about the 88, copy it down to here with the bonus of a few mods and we have basically the same thing. You wanted some fancy words? No.

==Baikal MP-155 Ultima(**)==
The [[Baikal MP-155 Ultima]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Argos III".

Take our good friend Mr. Loco, make him semi automatic, give it a fast reload since we've now learned how to load TWO shells at once and then also give it an ammo pool wide enough that you can keep this thing as a primary warm while you're busy doing the busy work for the team with the saw. It's a boringly functional set up for a gamer gun.

==Standard Manufacturing SKO-12(**)==
The [[Standard Manufacturing SKO-12]] was added to the game in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2", under the name "VD-12". Two variants are available, a standard SKO-12 with a 25-round drum magazine (that incorrectly holds 28 rounds), and an SKO-12 Shorty with a 9-round magazine (that holds an also-incorrect 10); the latter version is only available in dual-wielded form, making it the first dual-wielded version of a primary weapon.

Because the Steakout didn't have enough power or ammo for you, you may now have a Turkish shotgun. Slow rate of fire to maximize the accuracy of your shot, a drum so deep you'd struggle to run out of ammo even with that withering 65 damage of and a pickup that's almost Steakout levels of good but not quite there. It's trying, though.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game.

While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns.

Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

==M60(**)==
The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

Ironically given it's an M60, the gun most people expect to go Rambo with and fire wildly, this thing boasts one of the best accuracy stats in the entire LMG tree alongside good ammo pickup, damage and the deep, deep wells that are 200 round 7.62 NATO drums. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it, shocker, fires slow. Oh no, it lets you maximize damage, what ever will we do.

==Vollmer HK51-B(**)==
The [[Vollmer HK51-B]] was added to the game as part of the "McShay Weapon Pack". This is the first (and currently the only) machine gun to use sights.

Now you see the fact that this gun DOES allow you to use sights and you know that OVERKILL is Faustian in how it gives you such nice things. You're 100% right, this thing's got more problems than a Craigslist beater. Low stability, low accuracy, lowest total ammo in the entire LMG catagory, good concealability which you probably don't care for as an LMG and no bipods. Have fun!

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls. This model originates from ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', but it actually uses different textures in Raid.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine.

A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine.

The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]
[[File:PD2 R93 reloading3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Chambering a round. Note that there's an actual bullet in the chamber. The feed lips are still missing, however.]]

[[File:PD2 R93 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The R93 fitted with the "Wooden Body" giving it a similar look to the rifle pictured above.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage.

If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily which counts as a building in DC, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M91/30 (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M91/30]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

By default it is fitted with a fictional barrel the length of which appears to be in between an actual M91/30 and a M38 carbine and that seems to roughly align with that of M1907 carbine. Despite that, the in-game version isn't an actual M1907 carbine due to the lack of its very distinct rear sight block, as well as the presence of M91/30 rear sight and front sight hood.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification.

With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine.

If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter].

And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish.

The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian.

The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom plays a lot of weird hands. High concealability, which is hilarious given a SVD is the length of several small children, good ammo pickup and a nice and fast reload, all of the fun of sniper chaos with the chance for cosmoline in the joints.

The [[Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.

The fact it's a 700P, the predecessor to the more modern MSR and take the same logic to the stats here. Same shit, different toilet.

The "Military Stock" for the Model 700 is a Magpul 700L chassis.

==Norinco QBU-88(**)==
The [[Norinco QBU-88]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2".

The Kang, and yes that is its real name, is a Contractor tier fast shot sniper rifle aiming to be the way to solve the constant problem of shield hoards. Fast rate of fire, mag change and the key thing, high stability stats makes this Beijing brawler not a bad choice if you're willing to forgive its middling returns on the damage investment.

==Marlin Model 1895(**)==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack".

A Repeater that lets you put red dots on it, a rifle with weirdly specific damage, a high rate of fire, dogshit accuracy and a scope so bad you will never use it. Sounds about right for a modernized .45-70 Government lever action that has the magical power to punch through riot shields.

==Steyr Scout(**)==
The [[Steyr Scout]] was added to the game in the McShay Weapon Pack under the name of "Pronghorn Sniper Rifle". It is the first sniper rifle in the secondary weapon slot.

Beyond asking the question of how we stuff an entire Steyr Scout into the secondary slot, the Pronghorn works. It has decent damage, the ability to use iron sights, good mods, good concealability, a good all rounder in a slot that you would not expect to put a rifle like the Steyr Scout in.

==SAINT Victor .308 AR-10 Rifle (**)==
The SAINT Victor .308 was added to the game in "A Criminal Carol" 2022 holiday event under the name of "North Star Sniper Rifle". Following the Steyr Scout, this is the second secondary slot sniper rifle.

The Rifle of the North Star (yo wa shock) operates in a similar veign to the Pronghorn. The Pronghorn is a standard bolt action sniper rifle shrunk to fit in your pocket by the magical bag of holding, and this is the same thing for a whole mess of semi snipers. 160 damage, fast rate of fire, good concealment, no ammo and not much in reserves.

===Hera Arms conversion===
It's "exclusive set" basically converts the entire thing into a Hera Arms short-barreled AR-10 rifle.
[[File:Pd2 victor (9).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The conversion replaces every part except the magazine and the front grip. The Hera Arms CQR Gen.2 stock is currently unavailable for AR-10/15 platform weapons in-game and is unique to this rifle.]]

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt.

The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds.

Problem is that it's a GL40 with six chambers you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore. Have fun trying to reload this as a bulldozer barrels at you like a freight train.

The primers are clearly unstruck in this shot.]]

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game.

It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

[[file:Payday2 -hd1- rpg-7 reloading 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After inserting a new rocket, Wolf cocks the hammer, something very rarely shown in games.]]

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday).

Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon. So you can whip out this fun surprise at any time!

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers.

That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference. It does require some ASININE requirements to get it though, so most players opt for other methods of shock and awe.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)).

Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm.

It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

[[File:PD2 M320 aiming.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Iron sights. Disappointingly, the M320's leaf sight is not actually usable, not even as a gadget like that of the M79 and China Lake.

==Metal Storm 3GL(**)==
The [[Metal Storm 3GL]] under the alias of "Basilisk 3V Grenade Launcher" was added the the game as part of McShay Weapon Pack, which also introduces poison gas grenade modifications to all grenade launchers. This secondary weapon only fires in a slow full-auto, but its reloading can be cancelled partway for conserving ammo and doing less collateral damage.

The burst fire of the Metal Storm system makes it interesting, although it is some low damage for a secondary slot grenade launcher. That being said having one that can dump the contents of itself in a few seconds is an advantage, especially as it's dumping out poisonous gas that is more than likely a violation of the Geneva Conventions. But the cops failed to stop you from breaking into the White House to steal a pardon signed by Abraham Lincoln so I doubt the concerns of international law really matter anymore.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

[[File:PD2 M84 misc2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|An M84 grenade on the floor. Note that the grenade's spoon actually flies off and is seen laying on the ground.]]

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

[[File:PD2 ANM14 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Throwing an incendiary grenade (which looks massive due to perspective) into a tire pyre.]]

==VOG-25P Khattabka Grenade (**)==
The "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" DLC added, among other things, the "X1-ZAPper" grenade, a VOG-25P-based [[Khattabka grenade]]; unlike its real-world counterpart (a makeshift frag grenade made from a 40mm grenade launcher round with a hand grenade's fuze assembly), the X1 functions as an electric grenade, shocking any enemy caught in its blast radius.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay.

It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

[[File:Payday2 -hd1- minigun menu 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is apparently a re-fitted Dillion Aero M134D, as it appears to have a motor clutch that stops the feeding as soon as the trigger is released.]]

[[file:PD2 M134 reloading1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Houston hoists up the entire gun for a reload, which is no small feat considering his slender build. Reloading the minigun involves detaching the feed chute and the old drum with an audible *clang*...]]

As stated above, Crimefest 2015 removed the speed penalty with LMGs and the Minigun. However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]

==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

It's a Minigun for those who didn't get the Overkill pack, which would be a complaint if it wasn't hilariously funny to trot into a combat encounter with either weapon.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side view of the Microgun. Unlike the M134D, this weapon has an actual and visible power source in the form of an aircraft battery hooked up to this unusual contraption the main unit rides on.]]
[[File:PD2 XM556 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side. Unlike what the game might suggest, the real Microgun is a comically-short weapon based on the GE M134, measuring only 22 inches total in length. The Microgun is also updated to use a pistol grip system here, while the real thing is held in a chainsaw grip position and the trigger is a thumb switch.]]

=="Hailstorm Mk 5"==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Hailstorm Mk 5" is a fictional weapon loosely based on the [[Magpul PDR]] visually, and the [[Metal Storm]] "Bertha" technology demonstrator rig conceptually. It holds 120 rounds in a 5x3 set of partly-removable barrels (with the forward section of the barrels remaining in place, and the rear section being detached as a single large block in a manner similar to the conceptually-analogous "Typhoon" from ''[[Crysis 3]]''), and features an integral laser sight, flashlight, and optic (complete with an electronic round counter). Its only available modifications are textured grip pads and alternate barrels (or rather, barrel extensions, since they seemingly all attach to the end of the existing ones) - an extended set, an integrally-suppressed set, and an extended, integrally-suppressed set - alongside a unique "Prototype" exclusive set that gives it a boxier upper receiver and a somewhat battered, unfinished look; this set's name would make a fair bit more sense if the basic version wasn't already marked "PROTOTYPE R-033".

Gameplay-wise, the Hailstorm is effectively two guns in one, with its two firemodes functioning completely differently - it can either fire in full-auto at a downright ludicrous 2,000 RPM (on par with the XM556 above; for trivia's sake, however, it's still a fair bit shy of the "Bertha" rig upon which it was based, whose 36 9mm barrels together managed ''1,000,000'' RPM), or in a "volley-shot" mode that fires every barrel at once, essentially turning it into a semi-automatic shotgun that can pierce ballistic shields; presumably for balance-related reasons, the latter mode has a short charge-up period before each shot, and consumes 30 rounds per volley despite only firing 15 "projectiles" gameplay-wise.

[[File:Pd2 hailstorm (8).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the fresh one in like a glorified P90.]]

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

[[File:PD2 P90 turret2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|and this is the suppressed version. The suppressed version will have a smaller chance of being targeted by enemies, prolonging its use.]]

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

The Midland Ranch heist introduces a usable turret version which can be repositioned and has limited ammunition.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.

'''''Payday 2''''' (stylized as ''PAYDAY 2'') is the sequel to ''[[Payday: The Heist]]''. Like the first game, it is a co-op first person shooter where up to four players can commit daring robberies and other heists to earn money.

Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 Steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons. In June 2017, nearly all DLC was removed from individual sale and bundled into a single collection called the Ultimate Edition. This proved to be a temporary state: in late 2019 financial issues forced the renaming of the Ultimate Edition to the Legacy Collection, the reenabling of the purchase of individual DLC, and the release of brand new DLC.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Payday 2'''''
__TOC__ 

=Overview=
===Weapons===
Players have two weapon slots; a primary and a secondary slot (unlike the first game, there is no sidearm slot, with sidearms now being secondary weapons). Later updates and DLCs added grenade and melee weapon slots in addition to the original two. Primaries consist of assault, battle, and semi-auto rifles (all grouped together as "assault rifles"), shotguns, bolt-action and semi-auto sniper rifles, light machine guns, dual-wielded secondaries, and a few "special" weapons like miniguns, bows, and grenade launchers. Secondaries consist of sidearms, submachine guns, machine pistols, some shotguns and assault rifles (the latter classed as SMGs), and again a few "special" weapons covering much the same ground as the primary special weapons. Ammo can be resupplied from fallen enemies regardless of the weapon chosen by the player (though the amount refilled varies depending on the weapon), the MPD apparently supplying its members with a healthy amount of every caliber known to man (the model for enemy-dropped ammunition consisting of boxes of buckshot, "9mm lager", and 5.56). Weapons can not be changed during gameplay.

Certain weapon types also possess unique characteristics, such as sniper rifles and slug-loaded shotguns being able to pierce shields and cover, or machineguns being capable of massive volumes of fire at the expense of proper aiming. The game also has a tendency to heavily favor gameplay balance over realism when it comes to weapon stats. While most are depicted somewhat accurately to their real-world counterpart, several others feature grossly inflated damage values in relative to their caliber (such as the Kel-Tec SUB2000 and Jericho 941), with certain pistols being much more powerful than large-caliber assault rifles and shotguns.

Most firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a (usually) faster reload when the magazine is not emptied in addition to reloading from empty. Closed-bolt weapons are not depicted as retaining the round currently in battery when this happens, however.

Update #65 gave new first-person animations to nearly all of the base game's guns, as well as some of the DLC weapons. It also gave weapons with translucent magazines (such as the P90 and G36K) visible bullets that deplete as the weapon is fired.

Unlike the first game, weapons are not granted upon leveling up. Weapons are instead unlocked for ''purchase'' by leveling up, and must then be bought with money, though money earned from heists is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and modifications.

While first person weapon animations are smooth and detailed, third-person animations are notoriously low-detail.

===Modifications===
Each weapon can be modified, though the degree of variety of modifications varies from barely any to turning it into a completely different gun. Some modifications, like barrel extensions and sights, are available to all compatible weapons (for instance, only sniper rifles can mount long-range scopes), while others are specific to one weapon. Sights can have their reticles customized.

Special ammunition is also treated as a modification. Only weapons using certain types of ammunition, like shotgun shells or grenades, can equip custom ammunition, which varies (depending on the ammunition) from incendiary rounds to shotgun slugs.

Mods are acquired from random drops at the end of the heist (mods that can be acquired this way can also be acquired by spending the "Continental Coins" in-game currency) or, for some weapons and mods added with DLC, permanently unlocked for an infinite number of weapons by completing certain achievements. An additional fee must be paid from the player's spending cash to equip a modification (except for a select few), although mods can be removed from the weapon and returned to the player's inventory for free.

=Pistols=
As of update 61, it is now possible to dual-wield (or Akimbo) a select few of the handguns in-game. The Akimbo handguns are used as primary weapons. It is not possible to akimbo all handguns or a combination of two different pistols.

The handguns that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry.
==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] appears as the "Chimano 88" (presumably a reference to the "Pistol 88" designation the Swedish army gives the Glock 17). It is the first sidearm available, given to all players for free when they start the game. Boring, reliable, decent damage with little to write home about beyond a good concealment stat for early game stealth runs.

It is slightly less accurate and damaging than most other 9mm pistols, but has a large reserve ammo pool and good concealment. It has a 17 round magazine capacity; while normally correct, the in-game Glock is modelled with an extended magazine base plate that should add two more rounds.

==Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator==
The [[Springfield Armory 1911 Series|Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator]] appears as the "Crosskill", unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds 10 rounds in a 7 or 8-round magazine. Modifying it with the "12rnd Mag." modification, based on the extended Kimber 10-round magazine, will actually give it a 16-round capacity.

The Crosskill is a perfect sidearm for those wanting to be the most tactical bank robber of all time, boasting higher damage over the Glock 17 and other 9mm pistols, only being beaten out by the Taurus Raging Bull and a few other sidearms. It can be configured both for stealth and for all-out gun fights.

==Beretta 92FS Centurion==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92FS Centurion|Beretta 92FS Centurion]] appears as the "Bernetti 9", unlocked at level 6. It has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday (though the Payday 2 version is not suppressed by default).

The Bernetti is overall a jack-of-all-trades pistol, only boasting slightly higher damage over the Chimano with average stats elsewhere.

==Glock 18C==
The [[Glock 18|Glock 18C]] is unlocked at level 29 and, similarly to its appearance in the first game's "Wolf Pack" DLC, is known as the "STRYK 18c". It holds 20 rounds in a 19 round magazine, and fires at a too-slow 900RPM. Notably, unlike most selective-fire weapons in the game, it cannot equip modifications to lock it into one firing mode.

Slightly lower damage of the Chimano but with a full auto switch and mods that help make this a perfect gun to panic pull out and spray at a hallway of SWAT officers.

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
The [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] goes by its everlasting nickname of the "Deagle" in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine; while it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel. It also has shorter slide serrations akin to the Mark VII or I.

The Deagle is one of the most powerful pistols in the game, and that's saying something after so many updates that have added similar high power, slow ROF handcannons. The flexible mod list and allowing this thing to take magnified optics has kept the Deagle as a strong secondary option.

==Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical(*)==
The [[Heckler & Koch USP Tactical|Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical]] appears as the "Interceptor .45", automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It has a 13-round magazine (one more than the .45 ACP version holds in real life).

The Interceptor's a decent alternative to the Crosskill with a slightly larger magazine and a similar mod pool, and with the advantage of the other Payday Steam Group guns of being unlocked at Level 0.

==Glock 22C(*)==
The [[Glock 22|Glock 22C]] was added in the Election Day update as the "Chimano Custom", available to all members of the official Payday 2 Steam group. It bears an OD frame and comes with a flared magazine well, while most of its non-unique mods are shared with the Glock 18C.

The Glock 22's a weird gun at first, with similar statistics to the other non-9mm PAYDAY offerings and middling accuracy. However, it has a deep pool of ammo to play with, alongside the Chimano standard high concealment making it both a good backup option with large reserves and a useful stealth option with higher power than the Gruber.

==Glock 26(*)==
On the seventh day of the Crimefest event (October 22nd 2014), [[John Wick]] himself jumped aboard as a playable heister and brought his trusted [[Glock 26]] along for the ride. Renamed the "Chimano Compact", it tries to fill a similar rule to the Beretta 92, with equal damage and slightly better recoil, but in most other regards is somewhat inferior. It is unlocked at level 36, and is exclusive to members of the Payday 2 Steam group.
[[file:Glock 26.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Glock 26 subcompact - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wick's unsullied default Glock 26. Overkill set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, correct for a regular Glock 26, but didn't account for the extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 sights.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Given the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 cerakote.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch concealment rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looks like this tactical custom was created at an fictious "Chimano Custom Shop" instead of the real-life Salient Arms. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.]]
[[File:Payday2 GL26 reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight. Another rather interesting detail is that the barrel is actually shown as tilting, an extremely rare detail in video games. This was the only pistol in-game to be properly shown with it until the H&K P30L was added to the game.]]

==Walther PPK/S(**)==
The [[Walther PPK/S]] pistol appears as the "Gruber Kurz", perhaps a reference to the PPK's intended usage by the villain Hans Gruber in the 1988 film ''[[Die Hard]]'', though it was swapped out for a [[Heckler & Koch P7|P7M13]] in the final cut. The "Kurz" also seems to imply that the developers have made the immensely common mistake of taking the "K" in its name to stand for "Kurz", as it does with most German firearms, such as the [[Karabiner 98k]], [[G36K]], or [[MP5K]]. In reality, the K stands for "Kriminal", as it was the variant of the [[Walther PP]] that was designed for criminal investigators. It was added as part of the Armored Transport DLC, and it was the first handgun in the game that could equip a laser outside of the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip.

Sure it has low damage, sure it isn't exactly accurate, but the Gruber puts its cards in concealment and having enough ammo to pick off every single camera on a stealth map. Don't knock it till you try it.

==SIG-Sauer P226R(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer P220 pistol series#SIG-Sauer P226|SIG-Sauer P226R]] in .40 S&W appears as the "Signature .40" added by the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC.

This is the Crosskill except better in most to all departments, same damage and overall ammo pool but with better concealment, accuracy and available from the get-go at Level 0.

==Mauser C96 "Broomhandle"(**)==
The [[Mauser C96]] appears as the "Broomstick", added with the Gage Historical Pack DLC and unlocked at level 23.

The Broomstick is an oddball, arguably a gun that's been reworked to death to find a niche. Initially a fun alternative to the standard non-9mm sidearms limited by mods, it's now more so a pocket DMR with the extended magazine, stock, barrel and scope giving it a role as a silly M-308 in your pocket.

The gun would have made for an excellent cosplay prop too if not for the weirdly-shaped muzzle and the lack of the DL-44's other embellishments. The scope is also fixed to the right-sided gadget rail instead of having its own dedicated mount like in the movie. Modifying the weapon with these attachments gives the player the "So Uncivilized" achievement (a reference to one of Obi-Wan's lines in ''Revenge of the Sith''), which is required to use the extended magazine and holster stock shown above.]]

==Springfield Armory XDM(**)==
The [[Springfield Armory XD#Springfield Armory XDM|Springfield Armory XDM]] appears as the "LEO Pistol", added as part of the Bomb Heists DLC. Fittingly for the DLC's Croatian theme, the XDM was originally a Croatian design (as the HS2000). It has a 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP. It has an olive drab frame.

The LEO is a bizarre gun stat wise, with similar high damage to the Professional .40 and Crosskill mixed with a large 19 round magazine. However the lack of any mods that help spice the gun up plus only having a whopping 3 mags in reserve temper its usefulness a bit.

==Jericho 941 PL(**)==
The [[Jericho 941|Jericho 941 RPL]] was added in the Point Break Heists DLC as the "Baby Deagle" (referencing Magnum Research's marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle"), though its markings claim it to be a "Sparrow 941 RPL".

As with the Springfield Armory XDM, the in-game Jericho's caliber is rather difficult to nail down due to the model featured being a mashup of several different variants. The ejection port is marked for the 9x19 Parabellum model, however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 S&W variant. Additionally, the Jericho has the chrome-plated guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE. To confuse caliber identification more, the pistol deals around a whopping 150 damage per shot unmodified, about on par with the game's resident .50 AE Desert Eagle. A frighteningly powerful pistol for the money, limited by low ammo and high recoil.

==Kalashnikov Concern PL-14 Lebedev==

The Russian [[PL-14 Lebedev]] prototype pistol was added with the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC as the "White Streak". It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead of the real life 15-round capacity, with its "Extended Magazine" mod only bringing it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available for the PL-14), as its unmodded stats are identical to the Baby Deagle's.

==Heckler & Koch P30L(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch P30L]] was added in the John Wick Weapon Pack DLC as the "Contractor". The markings on its model proclaim it to be an "SG Master". It is the ''only'' weapon to have its akimbo version be DLC-exclusive, as even the other DLC sidearms have their akimbo versions be part of the base game.

The P30L is a balanced pistol that sits in the same boat as the LEO or Chimano Custom, not super high powered but doing enough damage to reliably kill with one headshot. With high concealment plus very good hip-fire aim, the only problems the gun has is low total ammo and a limited selection of attachments.

==FN Five-seveN(*)==
The [[FN Five-seveN|FN Five-seveN FDE]] with an EFK Fire Dragon threaded barrel was added on Day 6 of the Search for Kento event as the "5/7 AP" for Steam Community members. As the name would suggest, the Five-seveN, uniquely for pistols, is capable of universal armor penetration (despite the real steel only being capable of piercing light kevlar), enabling it to shoot through walls, the breastplates of Maximum Force Responders, and the Shield unit's shield, though damage is reduced for the latter. It also features astounding stopping power for a sidearm, being nearly as damaging as some of the game's magnums and revolvers, but only packs three magazines worth of ammunition. The in-game iteration is also under-loaded, stocking 15 bullets in the default 20-round magazine and 19 in the optional 30-rounder.

Modifications include a titanium nitride-coated barrel and extended magazine, both of which do not impact its Concealment stat in any way.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and MP40. Known in-game as the "Parabellum", it boasts ludicrously high stopping power for a 9x19mm piece, on par with the Peacemaker .45, and is about as accurate, though it also has quite some recoil to it, probably because of its one-handed grip. Unlike most non-revolver pistols in the game, the Luger can't equip barrel extensions, therefore making it a poor choice for the sneaky despite its near-stellar Concealment.

Modifications include a thicker barrel for more accurate shot groupings, a shortened one for concealed-carry, and engraved grip panels which, rarely for PD2 weapon mods, do not affect stats.

Unlocking the P08 requires the player to get ten kills with the free melee weapon included in the update.

==Colt M1911A1==
Some of the display cases in the WW2-themed room of the McKendrick Museum seen in the heist "The Diamond" (added along with the aforementioned WWII Weapon Pack) feature unusable [[Colt M1911A1]]s. This model is the same as in ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', and different from the "Crosskill Chunky Compact" model.

[[File:Payday2 m1911.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Joy inspects the .45 ACP firearms on display, while holding another one herself.]]

==Colt Defender==
The [[Colt Defender]] was added to the game on Day 7 of the 10-day Locke and Load community event as the "Crosskill Guard". For a subcompact pistol it has fairly excellent statistics and is perfectly concealable from the get-go, though its stopping power leaves a fair bit to be desired. It also stocks an astounding 17 rounds inside a single-stack 8+1-round magazine.

Modifications include an extended magazine, a lightweight slide, and two options for grips, one of which (the "Ergonomic Grip") is the Hogue Officer's Model rubber grip shown in the image of the real thing below.

==Heckler & Koch P7M13==
The [[Heckler & Koch P7 pistol series|Heckler & Koch P7M13]] was added to the game on Day 2 of the Breaking News event as the "M13 9mm". Featuring middling stats across most of the board, the P7M13 nevertheless is an extremely compact pistol with a base Concealment of 30, allowing the player some leg room in modifying it to suit their needs if running a stealth or dodge build.

Unique modifications include an extended and externally-threaded barrel for muzzle attachments, and wooden grip panels.

==Stechkin APS(**)==
The [[Stechkin APS]] was added to the game by the "Federales Weapon Pack", in the first new batch of weapons since the storyline ended with The White House in 2018. It is known in-universe as the "Igor Automatik", as a reference to Igor Stechkin, the designer of the APS.

Of the Federales machine pistol trio, the Igor aims for maximum damage over anything else with Chimano Custom levels of power and a fun switch for good measure. This means it also has the thinnest pool of reserve ammo of any of the trio, with a low pickup rate and bad recoil to keep you from having too much fun.

==CZ 75(**)==
The "Czech 92" automatic pistol is a hybrid of the full-auto-capable [[CZ 75]], and the newer CZ AccuShadow 2, which was made for the sporting market and as such never supported automatic operation. It was added as part of the "Federales Weapon Pack".

Boring and placid with normal damage, the Czech is the moderate option of the Funky Bunch. Good reserve ammo amounts and the only issue being recoil like its brothers, this leaves the gun as the perfect sidearm to do risky main armaments with. Because nothing says fun like the saw.

==Beretta 93R(**)==
The [[Beretta 93R]] is the third and last weapon added with the "Federales Weapon Pack". Known in-game as the "Bernetti Auto", it erroneously fires in full-auto instead of three-round bursts. As to why it was scripted like this is unknown, since the Diesel engine is in fact capable of emulating 3-round bursts, Overkill Software just decided not to.

You'd think the lower damage of the Bernetti Auto would be a good thing and it would if it wasn't low enough to keep headbutting its own ammo pool. Low ammo capacity, worse replacement mags and its biggest parlor trick letting you play RoboCop don't really save this thing from getting sidelined by everything, even the STRYK.

The [[Hudson H9]] was added to the game on June 30 2020 with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". It is known in-game as the "HOLT 9mm". Rather strangely, it has relatively high recoil, despite the H9 being specifically designed to address that issue.

Someone has stolen the Contractor's stats and applied it to this gun, which is fairly ironic given the H9 was to appear in one of the John Wick movies. Take those same pros and cons, add on the ability to actually swap grips on this thing and you'd have the HOLT dead to rights.

==Colt M1911/M1911A1 Hybrid(**)==
The [[Colt M1911]] and [[Colt M1911A1]] hybrid was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "Crosskill Chunky Compact".

Neither really chunky or compact, the Compact Chunky is a White Streak mixed with the ol' normal Crosskill. High damage, high rate of fire and higher than its rivals, it's not a terrible sidearm albeit capped off by a very limited mod pool to work with.

==Tokarev TT-33(**)==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" with akimbo option as "Káng Arms Model 54". Its name refers to the Chinese copy of the pistol, the [[Norinco Type 54]], however, the in-game pistol is based on the Russian version. Both single and dual wielded variants can mount an underbarrel shotgun attachment similar to the one in ''[[Kingsman: The Secret Service]]''.

Initially, this looks like another Crosskill. Same 85 damage stat, same relative accuracy, same amount of pros and cons until we get to that shotgun attachment. The ability to throw a blast of 850 damage shotshell into a target with decent concealment is a very fun trick to have on call.

==SilencerCo Maxim 9(**)==
The [[SilencerCo Maxim 9]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Gecko M2". It is integrally suppressed as you'd expect.

The Gecko exists so we can retire the meta of the silenced Judge. Yes, it's suppressed, and it has low ammo but this is powerful, accurate and allows you to push corpses out of the way so you don't immediately get caught just after you finally solved that guard's pager.

=Revolvers=
Revolvers are not a separate category in-game, being a part of the Pistols category.
==Taurus Raging Bull==
The [[Taurus Raging Bull]] returns from the first Payday, once again as the "Bronco .44", but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds six rounds and is unlocked at level 6. An early patch added a chance for street cops to carry it. It is also used by the female FBI Agent enemies in Day 2 of the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist.

The Bronco is a solid sidearm for pretty much anything. Need to deal with Snipers when you have a shotgun? Equip the Bronco. Tired of Cloakers? One headshot with the Bronco will deal with them easily. The only issues of the Bronco are its obvious low capacity, low total ammo, and a low pool of unique and useful mods.

==Taurus 4510PLYFS(*)==
The [[Taurus 4510PLYFS]] was added to the game as "The Judge" as a Crimefest community milestone reward for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. Chambered in .410 Bore and holding 5 shells, it is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effect on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously powerful, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite its .410 chambering, much like the similar [[Taurus Judge]] in the ''[[Max Payne (2008)|Max Payne]]'' movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.

It is without question one of the most hilarious guns in the game. Beyond the fact that the Judge is tiny, thus making it plus a Silent Killer suppressor the defacto stealth build meta, this gun has the damage of the game's double barreled shotguns combined with a ungodly fast rate of fire and a quick reload. Whenever you see a Judge come into a player's inventory, prepare for hijinks.

==Ruger New Vaquero(**)==
A [[Ruger Vaquero|Ruger New Vaquero]] with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45", added as part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. It can be identified as a Vaquero by the lack of a fixed firing pin and its 2-pin receiver.

The Vaquero is a rather odd gun, with one of the highest damages of any pistol sidearm, plus solid starting accuracy. However, everything else is poor, including reload time, stability, and a hidden accuracy nerf that makes it more effective at range than close up.

==Mateba 2006M(**)==
The [[Mateba 2006M]] was added with the Alesso Heist DLC as the "Matever .357", a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of [[Ghost in the Shell]].

The Mateba's a weird gun in the game, being the only revolver that can accept gadgets like laser sights and boasting higher accuracy over the Bronco, but cannot equip barrel attachments. It's a weird 50/50 split, with the Mateba being better for open gunfights, but suffering heavily when modded for concealment.

==Smith & Wesson Model 29==
The [[Smith & Wesson Model 29]] was added to the game on May 4th, 2017 as part of the free Sangres Character Pack update. Known as the "Castigo .44" (Spanish for "punishment"), it notably was the first revolver in the game to support dual-wielding. Stat-wise, it is almost identical to the Bronco .44, but with slightly higher base damage and concealment at the cost of worse stability and a higher purchase price. However, the Castigo doesn't have nearly the range of attachments that the Bronco has, with a grand total of ''three'' to its name - all of which increase Stability or Accuracy by 8. It also has a slightly slower reload.

Modifications include a [http://www.dentrinity.com/NelsonChen/Collection/Revolver/Km-29/Km-29.htm Kokusai Devil] heavy barrel, engraved grip panels, and a special black grip festooned with a black cloth wrapping, a cross, and spikes on the bottom.

==Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model(**)==
The [[Smith & Wesson No. 3 Russian Model]] was added to the game in the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack" with akimbo option as "Frenchman Model 87".

Decent accuracy, damage and a high ammo pool, the Frenchman is like a lot of the other historical firearms in PAYDAY, a fun sidegrade for a match or two. And that's about it, don't use this thing past the sell-by date.

==RSh-12(**)==
The [[RSh-12]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "RUS-12 Angry Tiger". Like the Five-seveN and sniper rifles, it has the ability to puncture armor, shields, and walls. And just like the Five-seveN, it has no akimbo option, likely for balancing reasons.

Stupidly high damage, stupidly low capacity and reserve ammo, stupidly fast fire rate for a 12.7mm handcannon and having the utter lunacy to have little to no drop off in damage so you can 100% whip this thing out of your pocket and turn the head of a sniper 200 yards away into strawberry danish filling. Nuttier than a bag of hammers.

==Korth NXA==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Kahn .357" is a [[Korth Combat|Korth NXS]] with a red-anodized barrel shroud and red/black laminate grip known as Korth NXA; this makes ''PD2'' the weapon's first known appearance.

As gamer as it looks, the Kahn's stats are bonkers. Deagle damage, good accuracy and the ability to swap the cylinders and make it do EVEN more damage on top of adding attachments like lights and any flavor of red dot that goes on a rifle? Yeah, you've got a winner even if it looks like an eyesore with every modification.

[[File:Pd2 korth (11).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Kahn's modifications can essentially turn it into a Korth STX, albeit retaining some features of the NXS frame such as the distinctive cylinder release. The underbarrel gadgets are moved to the right side as there's no longer an underbarrel rail. Both grip alternatives are based on real things (one of them is a familiar Hogue product). Funnily enough, both single and dual-wielded revolvers can exchange their eight-round cylinder for a six-round one, but both versions only reduce the capacity by 2, meaning the akimbo six-shooters can somehow be fired seven times before needing to reload.]]

=Submachine Guns=
The Hardcore Henry update added the ability to Akimbo two SMGs. The dual-wielding works the same as with the pistols, with the two guns being used as a primary weapon.

The SMGs that can be dual-wielded are listed below in their respective entry. All weapons in the SMG category in-game are included in this section except for the AKMSU and the Para 9mm, which are found in the carbines category.
==Ingram MAC-11==
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a [[MAC-10#MAC-11|Ingram MAC-11]] and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine, with the Extended Magazine attachment giving it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.

As far as SMG's go, the Mark 10 is the best of the spray and pray crowd, with decent damage and magazine size offset by the gun's high recoil unmodified and it's inherent lack of accuracy. The large magazines plus a deep magazine pool make the Mark 10 a good sidearm to any sniper rifle.

==Heckler & Koch MP5A2==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5]] returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Compact-5". It is unlocked at level 13 and can be modified into many different MP5 models as listed below.

Like the real steel, the Compact 5 is a boringly effective 9mm gun that can be spun in many ways that still keep it nice, boring and functional. Compact ones make perfect stealth SMG's, the deep ammo pool keeps it a popular albeit anemic sidearm, it just works.

==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] appears as the "CMP" (a reference to the TMP's name in ''[[Perfect Dark]]''), unlocked at reputation level 19. While its damage is poor and its concealment not high enough for practical stealth or dodge builds, its low recoil, fast reload, large magzines, and decent hipfire mean it remains a viable sidearm. It is also used by FBI Shield enemies.

[[File:Payday2 MP9 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A farm-fresh CMP. It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail.

==FN P90 TR==
The [[FN P90 TR]] appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has one of the highest magazine sizes of any secondary, but only comes with two reserve magazines. When the Long Barrel mod is attached it resembles the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired. While in a real P90 the ammo points towards the left, in game the rounds point towards the right; interestingly this seems to be an artistic decision (or just a goof) instead of related to using airsoft guns as references, as most airsoft P90s do have their dummy rounds pointing the right way.

The Kobus is a interesting gun, being useful both for stealth and loud. With high concealment and a few mods that benefit damage, the Kobus can be even more of a multi-tool SMG than the Compact-5, but suffers from low total ammo and reload speed.

==Thompson M1928(*)==
The [[Thompson M1928]] with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that cannot equip fire mode-locking mods.

The Thompson is a strange gun in-game, being cheap with good damage and large magazines. However the accuracy is atrocious, and little can be done to remedy that. The sights are cramped, and any sight modification is mounted very far from the shooter making it hard to see. Combine this with a slow reload and most players just opt for the other options.

==Carl Gustav M/45B(**)==
The [[Carl Gustav M/45|Carl Gustav M/45B]] is available to owners of the "Armored Transport" DLC. Known as the "Swedish K", the in-game weapon is based on an early "B" model as evident by the elongated buffer cap hook and lack of Sweden's iconic green lacquer by default. It is incorrectly depicted as a closed-bolt weapon.

Another cheap Level 0 weapon, the M/45 is almost fun with its high damage, decent accuracy and good concealment with the folded stock. That being said it is a king of low reserve ammo (only starting with one mag) that knee caps its potential a tad.

==Heckler & Koch MP7A1(**)==
The [[MP7|Heckler & Koch MP7A1]] appears as the "SpecOps", added as part of the "Gage Weapon Pack #01" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in its standard flush magazine and is fitted with a stubby TangoDown vertical grip attached to a Wilcox 6 o'clock rail interface in place of the factory folding grip.

The MP7 takes the Mark 10 approach to SMGs with high rate of fire and alright damage. Cheap cost, good stability and a unique suppressor that's better than the normal suppressors make it a desirable choice for fights that's offset by piddly accuracy and a small magazine size without upgrades.

==Sa vz. 61 Skorpion(**)==
The [[Sa vz. 61 Skorpion]] appears as the "Cobra", as part of the "Hotline Miami" DLC.

Out of all the Hotline Miami DLC weapons, the Skorpion is the most spray and pray oriented. It has some fairly good stability and impressive concealment, but one of the lowest base damages in the game, as you'd expect for a .32 ACP submachine gun. But the mods for the gun allow it to be spun into a stealth SMG or a full-on battle SMG with ease, so long as you want to double or triple tap your enemies.

==Intratec TEC-9(**)==
An [[Intratec TEC-9]] modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds. The TEC-9 is the all-rounder SMG of the "Hotline Miami" DLC, with decent damage, fairly good stability combo'd with absolutely horrible accuracy that can't really be improved no matter what mods you run.

In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the [[Interdynamic KG-9 / Intratec TEC-9|Interdynamic MP9]], the parent design of the TEC-9.

However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.

[[File:PD2 Tec9 reloading2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Reloading. Continuing the debate above, a rather curious detail with the TEC-9 is that, in the reload animation, once the charging handle is pulled, the bolt doesn't move at all. This is probably a mistake. However, in the original reload animation, the character holds the TEC-9 at an angle when pulling the charging handle that makes this mistake rather obvious. This "mistake" was not fixed in the new animation for the weapon, despite it still being held at an angle that makes it very obvious.]]
[[File:Payday2BlasterAnimFix.jpeg|thumb|600px|none|However, while farming some Sniper kills in Hotline Miami Day 2, Sydney reloads her modified Blaster to find that the animation has actually been fixed!

==IMI Uzi(**)==
The [[Uzi|IMI Uzi]] appears as the "Uzi" (one of the few guns to be called by its actual name in-game) and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Hotline Miami" DLC. It holds 30 rounds in a 32-round magazine, but a more recent update increased it to a 40-round capacity for no explicable reason. The Uzi is the solid choice of the whole DLC lineup, with solid accuracy, stability and damage that is only capped by how expensive the gun is to buy.

==Sterling L2A3(**)==
The [[Sterling SMG|Sterling L2A3]] appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine. The name "Patchett" refers to the weapon's designer, George William Patchett, and the name of the weapon in its early development.

The Patchett's a very finicky gun to use in game, with stellar stability and a deep ammo pool pitted against piddly damage and really bad inaccuracy that really can't be modded out without significant effort. Even worse, the rate of fire is abysmally low, which makes even spraying for headshots dificult.

==Cobray M11/9(**)==
The [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Jacket Character Pack" DLC. It correctly holds 32 rounds.

The M11/9 is a weird alternative to a standard SMG high rate of fire SMG like the Mark 10 or the MP7, with a similar fast fire rate, good ammo pickup and decent damage. That being said there's little to be done with those classic Cobray sights, like the Thompson any replacement is mounted far out on the front sight, and the reload is dreadfully slow.

==KRISS Vector(**)==
The [[KRISS Vector]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It is marketed as the "Polygon SMG" in-universe and called "Kross Vertex" by the inventory screen. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines.

The Vector is an amusingly powerful weapon in any heist with solid damage, accuracy and stability. However it's really low concealment means that stealth is not worth using this for, plus the high rate of fire will chew through your ammo fast if you aren't careful.

==IMI Micro Uzi(**)==
The [[IMI Micro Uzi]] appears as the "Micro Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Yakuza Character Pack".

This occupies a similar slot to the other bullet hose SMG's, albeit with the fastest ROF in the SMG category and almost the fastest in the game bar the MG42 and Miniguns. It reloads nice and fast, is relatively stable and all around a decent option, should you get over the lack of sight mods and come to terms with lovely 90's irons.

==SR-2M Veresk==
The [[SR-2 Veresk|SR-2M Veresk]] was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by [[Sharlto Copley]] from the movie ''[[Hardcore Henry]]''. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is the English translation of "Veresk". It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded.

It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats, sans the rate of fire and stability, are a copy-and-paste of the [[MAC-10#Cobray M11/9|Cobray M11/9]] (Jacket's Piece). Same basic points, but now it's Das Vidanya.

==Heckler & Koch UMP45(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] was originally an NPC-exclusive weapon, being used by enemy factions such as the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It was eventually added as a player-usable weapon with the "John Wick Weapon Pack" alongside the P30L and Desert Tech SRS-A1. Named the "Jackal SMG", it is otherwise known in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr AMP", made by the same company that created the Bootleg, Gewehr 3, and Contractor pistol.

Despite being ostensibly based on the .45 ACP model, the weapon's statistics and performance in the game are more akin to the UMP-40 variant, most notably the fire rate and 30-rounder magazine. It's chunky, fires faster than you think and works well enough as a medium damage/ROF side piece to more larger primaries.

==PP-19 Bizon-2(**)==
The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Named the "Tatonka" (Lakota for "bison") submachine gun in-game, it's cursed with Russian Weapon Pack disorder of having little mods to its name beyond the basics.

That being said, the Tatonka's very good. Sure it lacks total ammo and does frankly silly amounts of damage for a 9x18 SMG from the Yeltsin years but it's accurate, shelf stable and compact. Plus you have full Bizon mags. Only two to three of them but a full 64 round mag stock is lovely.

==MP40(**)==
The [[MP40]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the M1 Garand and Luger P08. Known by its real name, the MP40 handles almost identically to the Swedish K, but has a ''very'' slightly faster reload animation. This is offset by its beastly recoil even when modified and a whopping total of two magazines to its name. It, like most open-bolt guns in the game, is incorrectly depicted firing from a closed-bolt.

The MP40's sole unique modification folds back its stock, which doesn't help at all with recoil control.

Unlocking the MP40 requires the player getting 50 kills with the Luger P08.

==SIG-Sauer MPX(**)==
The [[SIG-Sauer MPX]] was added to the game alongside the new character Joy as a timed exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, before being added to the Steam version on Day 1 of operation ICEBREAKER. Known in-universe as the "Signature" SMG, it comes with provisions for alternative forends, stocks and magazines.

Fires relatively fast but not so fast you lose track of ammo, has a decent bit of mods to its name and was the first dual wield SMG so one could walk into a battle with three different MPX's on them should they desire. The Signature's as you'd expect for a tie-in promo gun.

===SIG-Sauer MPX-K===
Modifying the Signature with the Short Foregrip produces a rough approximation of the MPX-K, albeit having a much more truncated front that lacks the subcompact model's finger guard.

==PP-19-01 Vityaz(**)==
The [[PP-19-01 Vityaz]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" with akimbo option as "AK Gen 21 Tactical".

A slightly less powerful but much more versatile Tatonka, which is very on the nose given the Vityaz is a de-helical mag'd Bizon with mild improvements. More ammo, similar-ish damage, good ammo pool, the only thing this doesn't have going for it is not being able to take all of PD2's AK mods which is a stretch of a demerit.

==Minebea M-9(**)==
The [[Minebea M-9]] with its front grip removed was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" with akimbo option as "Miyaka 10 Special".

Filled with angry bees, the Miyaka is a Micro Uzi/Mark 10 fusion. For one, high rate of fire, decent damage and good enough concealment to keep it as a good gun even if you did accidently alert the authorities. On the other hand it fires so fast it eats the magazines up in seconds and it lacks any accuracy whatsoever. So y'know, what you'd expect from a M-9.

==Magpul FDC-9(**)==
The new semi-auto carbine version of the [[Magpul FMG-9]], the FDC-9, was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Wasp-DS". Unlike the real FDC-9 (and like the FMG-9 it descended from), the Wasp-DS is fully-automatic; firing at 1333 rounds a minute, it takes the crown of the the highest unmodded rate of fire in the game, being beaten only by the CZ-75 and Beretta 93R with the 50% ROF boost from the Aced "Gun Nut" skill. The weapon's blazing rate of fire is tempered by the complete lack of ability to use optics and a painfully long draw/holster animation that discourages the user from switching to a primary.

=Assault Rifles / Battle Rifles=
This section includes most of the weapons categorized as "assault rifles" by the game; the rest can be found in the carbine section.
==AKS-74==
The [[AKS-74]] is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called the AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. Given its early unlock point, the AK is a fairly all-rounder weapon. It has better damage than the AMCAR with only lower stability as a real negative. Once you level up, the AK remains a solid rifle for loud heists, so long as you have the mod packs to keep it up to date.

The in-game model is depicted with a smooth top cover rather than a ribbed one. Additionally, while the weapon does have the folding stock's button at the rear of the receiver, it has some characteristics of a fixed-stock AK-74, namely the lack of a latch on the receiver's left side (for keeping the stock folded), and the presence of only two rivets at the rear as opposed to three.

[[File:PD2 AK74 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Unusable solid stocked AK-74s with wood pistol grips and metal magazines can be found as loot called "Assault Rifles" They always come in twos and the models are noticeably higher quality than the in-game model.]]

==Steyr AUG A2==
The [[Steyr AUG A2]] becomes available to players at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle, the English translation of Armee Universal Gewehr, or AUG). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle lacks the third gen's bolt release. Oddly, instead of its built-in folding foregrip, it has a section of rail added to the hinge where a TROY vertical grip is mounted.

The UAR works. That's the gimmick. For basegame players, this gun is a boringly reliable full auto rifle with more damage output than the CAR or AK with good stability and accuracy hindered by being so middling. You can't really complain since it works well enough but once you get access to funner stuff, the UAR fades out in favor of silly primaries.

===Thales F90===
As of Update 61, the Raptor Polymer Body was added as a mod for the weapon, giving it the appearance of the [[Thales F90]] and a slight overall stat boost that still keep it a mediocre rifle in comparison to others.
[[file:F90.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Thales F90 - 5.56x45mm]]
[[file:PD2 AUG A2 misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Slapping the "Raptor Polymer Body" onto the AUG makes it sorta resemble the Thales F90, it lacks the bolt release however.]]

==AKMS==
The [[AKMS]] appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a [[AKM]] if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.

What was once the high damage assault rifle option that made you keep in mind you only were able to stuff three spare mags on your heister is now a boring albeit effective weapon for someone latched to Fully Loaded. Powerful, accurate, relatively stable especially when modded and most importantly, allowing you to roll out like Jean Baptise with the gold version if you want.

==M14 Designated Marksman Rifle==
An [[M14 Rifle#M14 Designated Marksman Rifle|M14 Designated Marksman Rifle]] with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds in a 20-round magazine. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now one of only two weapons with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto, the other being the much-later-added HK417. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a Sage EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a [[M14#Mk 14 Mod 0/1 Enhanced Battle Rifle|Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR]].

Before anyone had ever considered sniper rifles an option for PAYDAY, the M308 was go-to for the team marksman with dependable power and accuracy well into extended ranges. Even now, it's still a useful rifle in the right hands, so long as you remember how little ammo you actually have, and that the full auto switch does work.

===Ruger Mini-14 F===
Attaching the "B-Team Stock" that came with the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" transforms the M14 into an approximation of the [[Ruger Mini-14|Ruger Mini-14 F]], albeit with a chopped barrel and a front sight block built directly into the front of the stock. It also retains the M14's 7.62x51mm chambering and magazines, as well as its selective-fire operation, which Ruger don't offer on their Mini-14s.

The attachment's name is a reference to ''[[The A-Team]]'', whose protagonists made frequent use of folding-stocked Mini-14s.

==Bofors Ak 5==
The whole [[FN FNC#Bofors Ak 5 / Ak 5B / Ak 5C / Ak 5D / CGA5P|Bofors Ak 5]] family appears as the "AK5", all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.

===FN FNC===
The "Belgian Heat" handguard is cribbed straight off the [[FN FNC]] in a direct reference to Lt. Vincent Hanna ([[Al Pacino]]) from the movie ''[[Heat]]''.

==M16A4==
An [[M16A4]] with a shorter 18" barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an [[M16A1]] handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.

One of the last weapons you can unlock from the original release's arsenal, the AMR is another rifle you need to keep on top of to use right. Not that it's bad, far from it, similar damage output to the AKMS but with a higher rate of fire, more stability and more interesting mods like the DMR kit that allow this to go full sniper rifle if you want to. But it still hits its own low ammo pool constantly, and you need to keep track of ammo so you're not stuck with one mag every 10 minutes.

[[File:PD2 M16 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The magazine is modeled after a 20 round mag but somehow it holds 30 rounds.

==FN SCAR-H(**)==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a [[FN SCAR#FN SSR|FN SSR]] stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies.

The Eagle is for someone who really, really dislikes high health enemies like the Bulldozer. While at first you might want to run this as a DMR given it's decent accuracy and mediocre stability, the Eagle Heavy can be very effective in full auto as a rifle for dropping any manner of big enemy so long as you keep stocked up on ammo.

==DSA SA58 FAL(**)==
A [[FAL|DSA SA58 FAL]] fitted with a DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and a paratrooper rear sight appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon.

In comparison to the other two major battle rifles, the Falcon just kind of sits weird. It has the same overall stats as both the Gewehr and the Eagle and only beats either with the ability to have more mods plus 40 round magazines. It makes it pretty rare for you to see a Falcon anymore in regular usage.
[[File:DSA SA58 with 18'' barrel.jpg‎|thumb|none|500px|DSA SA58 with 18" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 FAL left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Besides the DSA bolt-on railed scope mount and the eared paratrooper rear sight, it matches the above image to a T.

Also note the fire selector being set to "Einzelfeuer" (single-fire), but the weapon still fires fully-automatic by default.]]

==FAMAS F1(**)==
The [[FAMAS F1]] appears as the "Clarion Rifle" (a probable reference to the weapon's name in ''[[Counter-Strike]]'') and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 25-round magazine. It features unique modifications based on other, often obscure variations of the weapon; alongside the "G2 Grip" to turn it into the FAMAS G1, it also gets alternate barrels based on those of the G2 Commando, the G2 Sniper, and the Century Arms MAS .223 civilian rifle.

The Clarion's a deceiving gun - at first, you think it's a normal assault rifle that operates like any other; once you actually use it, however, you'll quickly discover that it's a fast-firing bullet hose with tiny mags and good concealment, making it ideal for stealth and meh at everything else.

==IMI Galil ARM 7.62(**)==
The [[Galil#Galil 7.62|7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM]] appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 35 rounds in the 25-round magazine (Update 210 increase this from 30 to 35, possibly due to confusing the 5.56 and 7.62 version) and has a much higher RoF than actual ARMs.

The fact that this thing has been reworked about 5 to 6 times tells you what you need to know. The Gecko's an oddball. Weirdly specific mods that don't really compliment a build beyond shooting it wildly, decent damage, unbridled effective hipfire accuracy and enough ammo pickups that keep you alive longer than you'd think. That doesn't really solve how weird this thing is but it is trying.

==Heckler & Koch G3A3(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] with a [[Heckler & Koch HK21]] machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" (a rather redundant name, as "Gewehr" means "rifle", making this the "Rifle 3 Rifle"), and is available to purchase for owners of the "Gage Assault Pack" DLC. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine.

While in standard form the Gewehr is a decent battle rifle with high-ish damage, a good ROF and comparable to its stable mates of the Eagle Heavy or Falcon. The mods spin this into some interesting departments. The Assault barrel makes this into a slightly less powerful but more interesting close range bruiser, with a deep ammo pool to work with. The DMR kit makes it a very effective helmet popper that can hit the 100 Accuracy statistic without much of a sweat. Pick your flavor.

==Enfield L85A2(**)==
The [[Enfield L85A2]] was released in the ''Clover Character Pack'' as the first paid DLC signature weapon. Known in-universe as the "L-95" and referred to as the "Queen's Wrath" by the inventory screen, the L85A2 comes with a Grippod vertical grip and optional Magpul EMAG that, despite the virtually unchanged dimensions compared to its default STANAG mag, seems to confer a sizable boost to capacity and, bizarrely, recoil reduction.

With a large ammo pool, decent damage and stability and mods that actually make the rifle better, the L85's main problem is the fact that no one ever really bought the Clover DLC and subsequently never use it.
[[file:L85A2Iron.jpg|thumb|none|500px|L85A2 - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
[[File:PD2 L85 left.jpg|thumb|600px|none|A small clover sticker along with several tally marks can be made out if the player squints hard enough.

==HS Produkt VHS-D2(**)==
The [[HS Produkt VHS-D2]] was released as part of the "Dragan Character Pack" DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known in-game as the "Lion's Roar".

The Lion's Roar is another forgotten character pack weapon as it's basically a Clarion with worse mods and slightly more ammo, not bad but nothing to keep someone's interest in.

==AS Val(**)==
The [[AS Val]] was added with the Sokol Character Pack. It's called "Valkyria" in-game and holds 20 rounds of 9x39mm in the magazine.

Low recoil, good concealment, a high ammo pool and more, the Valkyria's only faults are very little mods outside of standard ones and a low overall damage.

==CZ 805 BREN A1(**)==
The [[CZ 805 BREN|CZ 805 BREN A1]] was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely treated as an SMG by the game and is therefore a secondary weapon, which is even more egregious than the similarly-categorized Olympic Arms K23B and AKMSU as it is a legitimate full-length assault rifle in reality. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model.

And being an assault rifle, the 805 is stupid effective as an SMG with high damage, rate of fire and accuracy only tempered by the same 3 mag problem that plagued the Krinkov and many others. but it's in a slot that you shouldn't arguably have it in.

==Heckler & Koch HK417(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] was added to the game as part the "Scarface Character Pack" DLC. Known in-universe as the "Little Friend 7.62 Assault Rifle" or "Schäfer & Gewehr SG-417D", it strangely sports an AR-15-esque solid stock instead of the proper one for the HK417, and a usable underslung [[M203 grenade launcher]]. The weapon is notable for not having any unique modifications to its name whatsoever. It's not even possible to switch out the grip or stock.

It is also only one of two weapons in the game with multiple firing modes to default to semi-auto rather than full-auto, the other being the above M14. And like the M14 it does tons of damage making it a diet DMR with a grenade launcher function fused to it.
[[Image:HK417 16.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch HK417 with sights removed and 16" barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[Image:PD2 417 left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Left side preview of the HK417. Note the markings that confirm its caliber. While it is not uncommon for battle rifles to be classified as assault rifles in ''PAYDAY 2'', the 417 hikes this up to eleven by having the explicit term right in its (rather long) name, caps and all, which it is '''not''', by any stretch. Note the 30 on the full auto marking, which is not only wrong as the gun only holds 20 rounds in the mag, but on the real rifle it's marked 20. Lastly, the magazine is oddly solid despite several other weapons having their proper transparent magazines modeled and rendered.]]
[[Image:PD2 417 right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Right side. For whatever reason, this incarnation of the "Little Friend" is a German-made battle rifle instead of Tony's classic M16, though it was clearly dolled up to pass for one as evident by the AR-15-esque solid stock. Overkill's decision to make it the HK417 instead could possibly be due to the fact that there already is an M16 in the game; adding another one would be redundant. The underslung M203 can be switched to the same way one would engage the bipods on an LMG.]]

==AK-12(**)==
The 2016 iteration of the [[AK-12]] was added with the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Going by the name "AK17", it holds 35 rounds by default, and can accept the other AK magazine mods (the ''Low Drag'' US PALM magazine gives it a similar appearance to the [[:File:AK-15 2016.jpg|AK-15]] variant).

And while the Grom and Tatonka give some substance to the pack, the AK-12 is a mediocre upgrade to the AKMS with less mods thus making it forgotten in the grand scheme of things.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game in the free WWII Weapon Pack update alongside the [[Luger P08]] and [[MP40]]. Known as the "Galant", it helps make up for the mediocrity of the other 2 WWII weapons by being a violently entertaining DMR with solid damage and accuracy that allow it to easily replace the M308 or any other in your main lineup, so long as you can remember to keep it topped up; its only real downside compared to other rifles in its class is its low capacity (a correct 8 rounds); however, thanks to the presumably-literal magic of skills, this can be boosted all the way to a whopping '''23'''.

Unique modifications include a shortened barrel of the T26 Tanker variant for concealed-carry, a Gen 2 Fulton Armory Super Scout railed top that increases stability for some reason, and pouches on the stock to hold more ammo.

Unlocking the Garand requires the player getting 100 kills with the MP40.

Note that the clip still makes a *ping* noise when ejected with ammo in it, despite there not being enough room for it to reverberate when struck. At least it's pleasant to listen to.]]

==FN F2000 Tactical==
The [[FN F2000#FN F2000 Tactical|FN F2000 Tactical]] with a long barrel and FS2000 CQB tri-railed foregrip was added to the game in the free Reservoir Dogs Heist update alongside the Alabama Razor. Known in-game as the "Union 5.56", modifications include the F2000's proper short barrel and a weighted, tan-colored chassis for improved recoil control.

Like a union, it's boring, effective enough for what it is and does a job so well enough that you can't really notice it. It's a reliable bullethose that has no mods to really spice it up beyond the two listed above, decent ammo pickup and stability and not much else.

[[File:PD2 F2000.jpg|thumb|600px|none|For whatever reason, the F2000 Tactical comes without its signature foregrip, which has been replaced with a FS2000 CQB tri-railed fore and a Magpul MVG instead. This seems to be in line with whatever prejudice Overkill has against weapons with integral foregrips. ]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The weapon's other side. There's not much to say here other than the fact that the game seemingly ignores the fact that the F2000 has an integral casings tray on the side opposite of the charging handle, thus allowing it to spit brass out of some undiscernible opening to the right instead of forwards. The brass catcher's five-round capacity is likewise ignored, allowing the rifle to instantly eject spent shells rather than starting from the sixth shot.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 selector.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While its appearance might mislead players into thinking it is a converted FS2000, the 3-point fire selector begs to differ.]]
[[File:PD2 F2000 PMAG.jpg|thumb|600px|none|While this is doable in-game, the real F2000 only accepts STANAG boxes.

==OTs-14-4A Groza(**)==
The [[OTs-14-4A Groza]] assault rifle/grenade launcher complex was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2". It introduces the "electric grenades" which it uses by default, but can be switched for the more generic explosive ones.

This is the gun you make your friend use after he grenaded a group of cops and fragged a few civvies. The electro grenades of the Byk allow yo to fry some pork without cooking anything else in the meal, and the high fire rate, good damage and speedpull mags make this an effective brawler. But like the Little Friend, it lacks a lot of ammo and requires you to have some modicum of patience. Because the rifle is a Groza and has a fire rate on par with a MAC-10.

==ShAK-12 (**)==
The [[ShAK-12]] also known as ASh-12 was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 3" as "KS12 Urban".

t's a ShAK, you expect high power, low rate of fire and a beast of a gun that lets you pop as many heads as possible and what you see is what you get for the most part. It's powerful, loud, effective, has low total ammo and an abysmal accuracy reflecting the issues of 12.7x55mm better than most games do.

=Carbines=
Most of the weapons in this section are categorized as "assault rifles" by the game.
==Colt Model 733==
The [[Colt Model 733]], fitted with an A2-style receiver and a 6-position stock attached with a LAW Tactical folding buffer tube adapter, appears as the ''AMCAR'', the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the [[G36K]] (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of ''[[Heat]]'' on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
[[File:Colt Model 733.jpg‎|thumb|500px|none|Colt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.]]

==M4A1 Carbine==
The [[M4A1]] appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gas block. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. This rifle was notably used by the police Snipers, where it was claimed that it was a "higher caliber variant" of the M4 (perhaps a conversion to something like .50 Beowulf or .458 SOCOM) before being replaced by the G3A3 in PSG-1 mockup.

The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants. The M4A1 is the multi-tool of the whole lineup, configurable for everything from compact stealth to medium range sniper rifle. However it has a mediocre rate of fire, pretty bland stock statistics and doesn't really stand out in the armory of the game.

==Heckler & Koch G36KV==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36KV]] makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16.

A boringly reliable, boringly effective, decently accurate, very stable, quick firing, deep ammo pool having, sausage stuffing, kraut eating, easy joke making rifle. Do you need much else? It's a G36.

==Olympic Arms K23==
The ''Para SMG'' is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as ''"olympia"'', that's the headline.
===Olympic Arms K23B===
The basic look of the gun is closest to the [[Olympic Arms K23B]] ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an [[M16 rifle series#M231 Firing Port Weapon|M231 FPW]] and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type [[M16 rifle series#LaFrance Specialties M16K|La France M16K]]. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.

Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
[[File:Payday2 K23B preview-true.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.]]

===Olympic Arms K23P===
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
[[File:Payday2 K23B pistol.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.]]

===M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0===
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the [[Mk 18 Mod 0]], ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.
[[File:Mk18.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mk 18 Mod 0 with Navy markings and special accessories - 5.56x45mm]]
[[File:Payday2 K23B Mk48 remastered.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The tan Tactical attachments have been in the game from the start and are less popular in the face of DLC stuff. The grip is Command Arms, the rest are faithful Magpul recreations.]]

==AKMSU==
A variant on the [[AKMSU]] is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the [[AK-74#AKS-U|AKS-74U]]. It holds 30 rounds and is a categorized as an SMG, rather than an assault rifle like the other three Kalashnikov rifles.

In the same way its big brother the AKMS is preferred for its high damage, the Krinkov gets a lot of love for the same reason, but with a lot more caveats in the way that make this a weapon you need to train with. It has a very high rate of fire and no stability stock, meaning it can easily blister through its low mag count in a few seconds if you aren't careful.

==SIG SG 552-2(**)==
The [[SIG SG 552-2]] appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It uses 30 round magazines. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown.

The Commando is an odd duck primarily given it's one of the first DLC rifles added to the game. At first it was well liked given it's average stats but now with more and more options the Commando has fallen to the wayside. While the overall stats are fairly mediocre, it has great concealment, one of the fastest reloads for all assault rifles when stock and is available right at Level 0.

==Kel-Tec SUB-2000(**)==
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the [[Kel-Tec SUB-2000]] appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.
[[Image:Kel-Tec SUB-2000 33.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Kel-Tec SUB-2000 with 33-round Glock magazine - 9x19mm]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 preview.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Cavity, straight from the gift wrappings. There are some small markings on the gun, but most are completely illegible. For once, the 33-rounder Glock magazine holds the correct amount of ammunition, and while it is usable with this gun in reality, it isn't recommended to any degree since the magwell of the SUB-2000 was not designed to work with the shelf of the Glock 18's extended magazine. This presents the risk of the magazine being shoved too far up the weapon when reloading and causing a jam. Kel-Tec therefore only recommends the use of standard Glock 17, 19, 22 and 23 magazines with their SUB-2000s.]]
[[File:Payday2 SUB-2000 attachments.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The gun comes complete with its own exclusive components. This Delabarre handguard reduces recoil at the expense of a lot of concealability. An alternate sight comes highly recommended.]]

==Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)==
The [[Heckler & Koch HK416C]] was added with the release of the ''Sydney Character Pack''. It was marketed in-universe as the "Schäfer & Gewehr 416C", but this copy of the weapon was renamed by Sydney to "Bootleg" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It comes pre-fitted with a set of Centurion Arms diopter drum sights, a 100-round Beta C-Mag, and a Magpul RVG, the latter of which is apparently for posterity only as its recoil remains horrible throughout.

And I do mean horrible, this thing is basically a low damage machine gun that will never be really accurate and stable and is mostly useful for hosing anything you see with bullets. Which to be fair, it does very well.

==Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight(**)==
The [[Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight|Taran Tactical Innovations TR-1 Ultralight]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Heists" pack as the "Contractor .308", ostensibly modeled after the rifle prominently used by Wick in ''[[John Wick: Chapter 2]]''. While the rifle used in the movie is an AR-15 variant, the in-game weapon uses a .308 receiver, which makes it an AR-10. The in-game rifle utilizes a Cobra Tactical angled foregrip and Lancer Systems L7AWM .308 Winchester magazines.

It is oddly classified as a sniper rifle, therefore blessing it with the ability to pierce heavy armor and shields (despite only having slightly higher base damage than the above HK417 and M14), while crippling it with the typically meager sniper ammo reserve (one full magazine in the weapon, and only one in reserve) at the same time. For whatever reason, the "Contractor .308" is vastly more concealable than any other weapon in its class (barring the later SVD), rivaling some of the middle-ground assault rifles and capable of respectable values once modified.

[[File:PD2 TTI TR1 right.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The decision to list this gun as a sniper rifle is rather odd, as TR-1 rifles are usually little more than dolled up AR-15-based platforms with minimal changes to barrel lengths and whatnot, therefore are barely qualified as DMRs, much less sniper rifles.

==IWI X95==
The [[Tavor TAR-21 rifle series#IWI X95|IWI X95]] was added on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event. Previously known in-universe as the "MTAR 21", which is technically its predecessor, the X95 has since been renamed as the "Tempest 21".

It has agreeable accuracy and stability and is reasonably compact to boot, however it is plagued by a slightly lengthy reload and having practically ''zero'' unique mods to its name.

=Shotguns=
The Shotguns in PAYDAY 2 are among a handful that are capable of using alternative munitions instead of their standard 00 Buckshot shells. The Gage Shotgun Pack introduces the first four shell types (000 Buck, fragmentation rounds, tungsten flechette shells and armor-piercing slugs), while The Butcher's BBQ Pack adds the Dragon's Breath rounds to the equation.

All shotgun-type weapons are listed here except for the Taurus 4510PLYFS, which is indexed under "Revolvers" instead.
==Remington Model 870 Field Gun==
A [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]], called the "Reinfeld 880" is unlocked at level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer.

The starter shotgun and the most useful of them all, the Reinfeld is a good solid boomstick for anyone spec'd into Enforcer as it can easily cut through SWAT and even middle tier specials with ease. Sure it doesn't have a good pickup rate and sure there are better options but it's reliable and that's more important in the thick of it.

==Remington Model 870 Short-Barreled==
A stubby variant of the [[Remington Model 870 Field Gun]] is unlocked at level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches.

The Loco's a particularly effective gun benefitting from being a sidearm and thus not having too much competition. Decent damage, especially when modified, good concealment and a potent rate of fire are only capped by a lack in stability. Which doesn't matter given it's a pump action shotgun.

==Saiga 12K==
The [[Saiga 12K]] (going by the name "IZHMA 12G") is one of two select-fire shotguns in-game, along with the AA-12. It holds 7 shells in a box magazine and is unlocked at level 26. The model is not an actual Saiga 12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the [[AKMS]]. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga 12 which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga 12. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however).

The Izhma's always been a weird shotgun to make work right. Low damage makes it less effective as far as a shotgun goes, and not helped by even mods that barely get this thing to scrape the high 70's. That being said it is also easy to keep topped up and fires fast enough to keep you on your toes and able to sweep enemies well with headshots. Good for lower ranks, pushing this thing to OVERKILL isn't ideal.

===CBRPS Spike X1S AK Chassis===
A bullpup variant of the Saiga mated to a Center Balanced Systems Spike X1S AK Chassis was added on Day 5 of the "Locke and Load" event as a secondary shotgun which can also be dual-wielded. Known as the "Grimm 12G" or "Brothers Grimm 12G" for the akimbo variant, the gun is notable for its extremely low damage and extremely high fire rate.

That is not a joke, it's an Izhma on steroids. Sure it has less damage than a Chimano, and yes it fires slower than the Izhma but that doesn't matter because it has a spread like a sawn off, has the same deep reserves of ammo and picks it back up so fast that you can dump the mags, reload and be back to blast again before you can say "wait, what?".

==Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Double Barreled Shotgun]] appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at level 39.

While it's only a two shot gun, the Mosconi is delightfully entertaining in how it works. 155 damage out the pipe with two to use, decently accurate and with a list of downsides that you'd expect since it's a double barreled shotgun and this isn't Tombstone, Arizona. That being said, the shotgun is delightfully entertaining, both stock, with big whoop 00 or the forever delightful combo of a sawn off Mosconi with frag shells.

==Franchi SPAS-12(*)==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] was added during CrimeFest 2014 and is called the "Predator 12G". It fires in semi-auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group. The in-game SPAS-12 has a first-generation lever-type safety, suggesting a pre-1989 model imported by F.I.E., as the ones sold by American Arms post-1990 have button safeties instead. It does, however, feature a 6-shell magazine tube, which was only introduced in 1990 on American Arms imports following the shotgun's rebranding for "sporting purposes".

Cheap, functional and efficient, this is the M1014 for the person who doesn't have the shotgun DLC and wishes for all of the fun with a dash of 80's zest. Which also means this is a middlingly effective heavy shotgun that fires fast, reloads fast, doesn't burn out your early bank account and will last about as long in your lineup as a cheap pair of Wal-Mart sneakers.

==Beretta DT11/CZ Redhead Deluxe Hybrid(*)==
This [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Over and Under Shotgun]] was introduced along with the Bonnie Character update as the "Joceline O/U 12G". It appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta DT11 and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U, while the game files claim it's modeled after a [[Beretta 682]] Gold E.

While at first glance the Joceline seems like a slightly inferior Mosconi, you'd be kinda right given how this thing got nerfed into the floor a while back. Outside of the ammo pouch mod boosting total ammo count, there's nothing to this thing anymore unless you like far better models and animations for your boomstick.

==Benelli M4 Super 90(**)==
The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. It first appeared in the Death Wish Update in the hands of the GenSec Elite shotgun units, albeit in the M4 tactical configuration. A player-usable version was finally added in the "Gage Shotgun Pack" DLC. It holds 8 shells in the 7-round tube.

Initially you look at this thing, middling damage, decent but mediocre accuracy and a good enough for a shotgun concealability and think it's not worth your time. And you are almost right until you get this thing into a battle, panic click and find out this Benelli sends out shots fast as snot. All of the Izhma fun without a fun switch!

==Kel-tec KSG(**)==
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]], called the "Raven" in-game was added with the Gage Shotgun DLC and depicted, typically for a game, with a continuous tube rather than two separate ones.

If you want a silenced shotgun to compliment the Judge with a oil cleaner you have shoved into a holster, this is your go-to. Perfectly compact enough to be a powerful mainline stealth arm and with enough damage, rate of fire and some accuracy to be a good gun when shit goes south.

In a later update however, it was changed AGAIN to what we have now.]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12(**)==
The [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12|Striker-12]] appears by the family's most prestigious name; the ''Street Sweeper''. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

==AA-12(**)==
The [[AA-12]] was added with "The Butcher's BBQ Pack" as the "Steakout 12G", possibly a pun on the [[Ithaca 37 "Stakeout"]] model (ironically, a standard Ithaca 37 was added later with the "Goat Simulator" DLC). It's possible to flick between semi and automatic fire in-game, something not possible on real AA-12s as they are just full auto.

With low damage, fast rate of fire and a big magazine mod that helps this beat the Izhma, the Steakout is the best full auto shotgun outside of the Grimms if you really want a full auto shotgun that lets you keep some situation awareness that the dual Grimms lack.

==Ithaca 37(**)==
Along with the "Goat Simulator" DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size [[Ithaca 37|Ithaca 37 Riot]] was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called "GSPS 12G" in-game as a rather obvious parody of the "Deer Slayer Police Special" variant. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine.

There's stupid and then there's the GSPS which does the same damage as the Mosconi/Joceline except it's pump action with 7 rounds in the secondary slot. Sure it has little backup ammo, pretty much no mods outside of a sawn off stock and barrel and garbage accuracy but it's broken enough to make it worthwhile regardless.

[[File:PD2 Ithaca37 misc2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|[[No Country for Old Men#Remington 11-87|No Ithaca for old men]].]]

==Winchester Model 1887(**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1887]] was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing one shell directly into the chamber then placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading all seven shells into the tube magazine.

The Breaker, not in reference to what happens to ones fingers if you try to flipcock a standard lever 1887 is a potent shotgun in the primary slot doing the same 155 damage as the Moscone/Joceline with backup ammo to spare. Sure there's basically no spare ammo available but you can manage to make this thing stupid accurate if you need to so why not have fun with this meme shotgun?

==Crye Precision SIX12==
The [[Crye Precision SIX12]] was added during "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" as a secondary shotgun. It's called "Goliath 12G" in-game and is based on the 2nd prototype. More forgotten than most of the things actually IN the Housewarming Party, the Goliath is literally nothing more than a worse Streetsweeper that can load all the rounds at once and that's it.

Modifications include a short barrel for extra compactness and a custom-made quick-detach silencer, a strange addition since the SIX12 does have a proprietary suppressor system in reality that consists of a SilencerCo Salvo-12 and a dedicated foregrip sleeve. The already-in-game Salvo-12 is available as an option for a suppressor, albeit as an ordinary muzzle extension instead of the specialized barrel group it belongs to; due to how weapon animations work in PAYDAY 2, taking the foregrip away in favor of the sleeve would require a new set of animations altogether to accommodate it, which is currently not compatible with the Diesel engine's limitations.

==Remington Exposed Hammer SxS==
What looks to be a [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|Remington Exposed Hammer SxS]] was added to the game on Day 4 of the 2018 Breaking News event as the "Claire 12G". The SxS fills the shoes of the primary-only Mosconi as an insanely powerful side-by-side double barrel with a spread even more immense, albeit as a secondary weapon, while packing a lot more ammo than one will probably need for casual cop blasting.

Unique mods for the SxS include a sawed-off barrel and equally-shortened stock, perfectly in line with practically every other break-open weapon to ever be added to ''PAYDAY 2''.

==Winchester Model 1897 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack", confusingly named the "Reinfeld 88".

As the name sort of implies, this is a Reinfeld abridged shotgun. Same basic mechanics of a pump shotgun but with more damage, a higher rate of fire akin to the Loco in the primary slot and the ability to make this thing very compact for a high damage dodge/crit build, if you can look yourself in the soul and say "Am I willing to saw down a 100 year old shotgun for better stats?"

==Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser (**)==
The [[Mossberg 590 Compact Cruiser]] with buffer tube adapter was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack" as "Mosconi 12G Tactical".

Read what I said about the 88, copy it down to here with the bonus of a few mods and we have basically the same thing. You wanted some fancy words? No.

==Baikal MP-155 Ultima(**)==
The [[Baikal MP-155 Ultima]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 4" as "Argos III".

Take our good friend Mr. Loco, make him semi automatic, give it a fast reload since we've now learned how to load TWO shells at once and then also give it an ammo pool wide enough that you can keep this thing as a primary warm while you're busy doing the busy work for the team with the saw. It's a boringly functional set up for a gamer gun.

==Standard Manufacturing SKO-12(**)==
The [[Standard Manufacturing SKO-12]] was added to the game in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2", under the name "VD-12". Two variants are available, a standard SKO-12 with a 25-round drum magazine (that incorrectly holds 28 rounds), and an SKO-12 Shorty with a 9-round magazine (that holds an also-incorrect 10); the latter version is only available in dual-wielded form, making it the first dual-wielded version of a primary weapon.

Because the Steakout didn't have enough power or ammo for you, you may now have a Turkish shotgun. Slow rate of fire to maximize the accuracy of your shot, a drum so deep you'd struggle to run out of ammo even with that withering 65 damage of and a pickup that's almost Steakout levels of good but not quite there. It's trying, though.

=Machine Guns=

The first three machine guns (The RPK, M249 Para and HK21E) were added in the second "Gage weapon pack" DLC. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and the "CrimeFest 2015" update introduced the Ksp 58. These weapons can only be technically hip-fired, as aiming nominally zooms in on the weapon instead of using the sights, and are very inaccurate. The bipods could initially not be used but during the very same CrimeFest event that introduced the Ksp 58, a new attachment called the "Lion bipod" was added to all MGs, allowing the player to deploy them and fire more accurately and with almost no recoil. One cannot move when the bipod is deployed however.

While they are all categorized as LMGs in game, the HK21E, MG42 and M240B are actually GPMGs (General Purpose Machine Guns).

==RPK(**)==
The [[RPK light machine gun#RPK|RPK]] appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.

At first, the RPK was nothing more than a mediocre LMG given to players at reputation 0 so they had something LMG like that was only useful for someone who wanted an LMG with a controllable rate of fire that wasn't the Brenner. With the rework, it now does the highest damage for an LMG, tied with the Brenner at 120 with nothing else outside of slightly better accuracy to show for it.

==M249 Para(**)==
The [[FN Minimi#M249|M249 Para]] appears as the "KSP" (the abbreviated form of the Swedish word for machine guns, ''kulspruta'') and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist. For the person who doesn't care about anything in front of him, the KSP is the border between "somewhat controllable" rate of fire and "I CANT SEE ANYTHING OH DEAR GOD HELP" rate of fire provided by the miniguns and the MG42. It has the largest drum size, combo'd with a decent rate of fire and good damage making it an easy weapon for an assault.

==Heckler & Koch HK21E(**)==
Returning from the previous installment, the [[Heckler & Koch HK series machine guns#Heckler & Koch HK21|Heckler & Koch HK21E]] appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style diopter drum rear-sight rather than the Export variant's own. It has a canted front grip in order to make it easier to hold. The Brenner is a heavyset gun meant to bring the pain with big magazines and nothing more. The accuracy makes running and gunning with it useless, just plop it down on the bipod and sit there until everyone who comes near you is filled with holes.

==MG 42(**)==
The [[MG42#MG42|MG 42]] appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the "Gage Historical Pack" DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and is tied with the Micro Uzi and Vector for the highest rate of fire in the game (although loosing slightly to a Glock 18 with pistol skills) The MG42 (once Update 168 buffed the damage) offers the highest damage per second in the entire game.

While with lower ammo than both the KSP and the Minigun, the MG42's high rate of fire makes it violently entertaining in close quarters combat. Most enemies die in all of a "BRRAP" and you can easily mag dump into Bulldozers and drop them relatively quickly which compensates for this gun's mediocre ability with a bipod.

[[File:Payday2 MG42 -hd1- menu 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The old MG42 model, before it had its bipod removed.]]

==M240B==
Although called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the [[FN MAG 58]] and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the [[M240B]], denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "CrimeFest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns.

Similarly to the SPAS and most of the Community weapons, the Ksp is a mediocre LMG with no real defining traits for the people who never actually bought the DLC in the first place. Even after the rework, it's simply a meh LMG for using with Wolf for some slightly misplaced patriotic Swedish flair.

[[File:PD2 M240 misc1.jpg|thumb|600px|none|The M240 fitted with the "Lion's bipod" and "Plastic stock", the latter being more in line with a proper M240 stock.]]

==M60(**)==
The [[M60 machine gun]] was added to the game with the release of the "Fugitive Weapon Pack". Unlike most weapons in the game, it is identified by its real-world name.

Ironically given it's an M60, the gun most people expect to go Rambo with and fire wildly, this thing boasts one of the best accuracy stats in the entire LMG tree alongside good ammo pickup, damage and the deep, deep wells that are 200 round 7.62 NATO drums. The only thing bad I can say about it is that it, shocker, fires slow. Oh no, it lets you maximize damage, what ever will we do.

==Vollmer HK51-B(**)==
The [[Vollmer HK51-B]] was added to the game as part of the "McShay Weapon Pack". This is the first (and currently the only) machine gun to use sights.

Now you see the fact that this gun DOES allow you to use sights and you know that OVERKILL is Faustian in how it gives you such nice things. You're 100% right, this thing's got more problems than a Craigslist beater. Low stability, low accuracy, lowest total ammo in the entire LMG catagory, good concealability which you probably don't care for as an LMG and no bipods. Have fun!

==M1918A2 BAR==
The WW2-themed exhibit in the heist "The Diamond"'s fictional McKendrick Museum has several unusable [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]]s (sans carrying handles, bipods, and magazine guides) in display cases on its walls. This model originates from ''[[Raid: World War II]]'', but it actually uses different textures in Raid.

==MG34==
The aforementioned exhibit also prominently features several [[MG34]]s on their distinctive Lafette tripods, fitted with anti-aircraft sights.

=Sniper Rifles=
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the ''[[Point Break (2015)|Point Break]]'' heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.

Every in-game sniper rifle is listed here with the exception of the TTI TR-1 Ultra-light, which is under "Carbines" instead.
==Remington MSR (**)==
The [[Remington MSR]] appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at level 15. It holds 10 rounds in the magazine.

A lighter flavor of sniper, the Rattlesnake boasts a high ammo pool and decent rate of fire that still make it useful even after semi auto snipers like the Contractor and the Lebensauger have occupied the same overall damage slot.

==Blaser R93 Tactical 2 (**)==
The [[Blaser R93|Blaser R93 Tactical 2]] was added with the Gage Sniper Pack and appears as the "R93". Unlocked at level 35, it serves as the middle ground between the Remington MSR and Barrett M95 offered in the same pack. While visually resembling the LRS2 PSR variant, its claimed chambering of .338 Lapua Magnum identifies it as the Tactical 2 model. The R93 holds 6 rounds in a 5-round magazine.

The R93 is the balancing act between the fast and low damage Rattlesnake and the big whopping power that is the "Thanatos" and it does so with aplomb. Decent rate of fire, high damage that can easily deal with most special enemies in a solid headshot, it can easily become a powerful close quarters armor puncher.

While the mag itself still lacks the lips, this newer, more tame animation conveniently obscures that fact while also making it much less of an issue.]]

==Barrett M95 (**)==
The [[Barrett M95]] appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the third most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of '''3675''', loosing only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid '''12,500''' damage per shot and the M202 from the Scarface Heist pack with '''6200''' damage.

If you want to kill a building, or at least a bulldozer easily which counts as a building in DC, you grab a Thanatos. While yes it has literally no ammo and no pickup rate, you have a Barrett .50 cal, you CAN kill pretty much anything in the game with one shot with absolute perfect accuracy.

==Mosin Nagant M91/30 (**)==
The [[Mosin Nagant M91/30]] was introduced to the game alongside the MG 42, Sterling L2A3 and Mauser C96 as part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Known in-game as the "Nagant", it has a highly unusual name considering how the weapon was clearly modeled after a Mosin rifle, and the Léon Nagant-patented design was shelved before it ever entered mass production. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70. The Nagant is weird, it's always kinda been the oddball sniper rifle given it sits at the same damage level as the R93 but has worse stability and a slower reload. It's niche ability to use iron sights has been rendered moot by the Platypus, Repeater and the Grom so it just kinda exists in weird mediocre stasis.

By default it is fitted with a fictional barrel the length of which appears to be in between an actual M91/30 and a M38 carbine and that seems to roughly align with that of M1907 carbine. Despite that, the in-game version isn't an actual M1907 carbine due to the lack of its very distinct rear sight block, as well as the presence of M91/30 rear sight and front sight hood.

As an amusing aside, the in-game selling price of the Mosin Nagant is astronomically-inflated compared to the real thing owing to it being a mid-to-high level weapon, coming off the shelf for an astounding $921,000 alongside the Barrett M95 and SVD. An ''expensive'' Mosin Nagant would sell for somewhere around $600 in reality, a good ''1,535'' times cheaper than its in-game price, which is perfectly understandable due to Russia's overwhelming surplus of these rifles.

==Winchester Model 1873 (**)==
The [[Winchester Model 1873]] appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant, the iron sights are usable, unlike the Nagant however, the irons are the basic sights with the scope being a modification.

With the second highest rate of fire in the sniper rifle catagory behind the semi-autos, the Repeater is gimped primarily by low total ammo and a really bad selection of mods including two whole barrel options and a pretty mediocre scope. Still, it does allow you a lot more fluid combat with the interruptable reload but the usability of this thing now is kinda debatable.

==Walther WA 2000 (**)==
The [[Walther WA 2000|Walther WA 2000 Generation 1]] was added with the "Gage Ninja Pack" DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker" or more figuratively, "vampire". While the .308 in the name would suggest the weapon is chambered in .308 Winchester, it is more likely to be based on a .300 Win Mag Gen 1 rifle. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine.

If you wondered why no one uses the Repeater anymore, it's because this thing exists. Same basic stats except it's a mag fed semi auto which means it can become ungodly good in close quarters combat as the damage is still high enough to one shot Shields.

==Winchester Model 70==
The [[Winchester Model 70]], called "Platypus 70", was added along for free with the character Bodhi from the [[Point Break (2015)|Point Break remake]]. The rifle uses FN's [http://www.midwayusa.com/product/932445/fnh-tbm-trigger-guard-and-detachable-box-magazine-fn-spr-pbr-tsr-winchester-model-70-short-action-with-5-round-and-10-round-magazine Tactical Box Magazine adapter].

And if you were wondering why no one uses the Mosin, it's primarily because the Platypus is the exact same thing stat wise with more ammo and without any DLC requirements.

==DTA Stealth Recon Scout(**)==
The [[Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout|Desert Tactical Arms Stealth Recon Scout A1 Covert]] was added with the release of the "John Wick Weapon Pack". Along with the aforementioned Heckler & Koch P30L/Contractor, the SRS-A1 was ostensibly modeled to ape the rifle used by Wick in his movie, though the final weapon cannot be modified to resemble the source material. Named the "Desertfox Sniper Rifle", it has a black and tan two-tone finish.

The Desertfox is good for one thing, being an R93 that can become really concealable and that's basically it for this weapon. Sure it has a dippy mag size of 5 and the 3rd worst stock accuracy for sniper rifles but it's decent enough at being small and concealable that you might bother with it if you're running a concealment build.

==SVD Dragunov(**)==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is available for people who own the "Gage Russian Weapon Pack" DLC. Out of all the weapons in the pack, the SVD is the only one to come with unique mods. It goes by the name "Grom" in-game, which translates into "thunder" in Russian.

The middle man between the Lebensauger's accuracy and the Contractor's sustainable fire potential, the Grom plays a lot of weird hands. High concealability, which is hilarious given a SVD is the length of several small children, good ammo pickup and a nice and fast reload, all of the fun of sniper chaos with the chance for cosmoline in the joints.

==Remington Model 700P(**)==
The [[Remington Model 700P]] is available for people who own the "Fugitive Weapon Pack" DLC, as the "R700". Rare for a media appearance, the 700P is chambered in .223 Remington instead of the more common .308 Winchester.

The fact it's a 700P, the predecessor to the more modern MSR and take the same logic to the stats here. Same shit, different toilet.

==Norinco QBU-88(**)==
The [[Norinco QBU-88]] was added to the game in the "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2".

The Kang, and yes that is its real name, is a Contractor tier fast shot sniper rifle aiming to be the way to solve the constant problem of shield hoards. Fast rate of fire, mag change and the key thing, high stability stats makes this Beijing brawler not a bad choice if you're willing to forgive its middling returns on the damage investment.

==Marlin Model 1895(**)==
The [[Marlin Model 1895]] was added to the game by the "Gunslinger Weapon Pack".

A Repeater that lets you put red dots on it, a rifle with weirdly specific damage, a high rate of fire, dogshit accuracy and a scope so bad you will never use it. Sounds about right for a modernized .45-70 Government lever action that has the magical power to punch through riot shields.

==Steyr Scout(**)==
The [[Steyr Scout]] was added to the game in the McShay Weapon Pack under the name of "Pronghorn Sniper Rifle". It is the first sniper rifle in the secondary weapon slot.

Beyond asking the question of how we stuff an entire Steyr Scout into the secondary slot, the Pronghorn works. It has decent damage, the ability to use iron sights, good mods, good concealability, a good all rounder in a slot that you would not expect to put a rifle like the Steyr Scout in.

==SAINT Victor .308 AR-10 Rifle (**)==
The SAINT Victor .308 was added to the game in "A Criminal Carol" 2022 holiday event under the name of "North Star Sniper Rifle". Following the Steyr Scout, this is the second secondary slot sniper rifle.

The Rifle of the North Star (yo wa shock) operates in a similar veign to the Pronghorn. The Pronghorn is a standard bolt action sniper rifle shrunk to fit in your pocket by the magical bag of holding, and this is the same thing for a whole mess of semi snipers. 160 damage, fast rate of fire, good concealment, no ammo and not much in reserves.

=Launchers=

==M79 Grenade Launcher (**)==
The [[M79]] was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance. This can be dangerous to the player as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt.

The M79 is a gun that hasn't aged as well as many of the other explodey weapons simply due to how every other explosive weapon has just out-done it in pure crazy. While it lacks the same raw firepower as the other grenade launchers on offer, the GL40 does have some advantages. It's far more controllable and accurate plus can be made into a pirate gun if you just hate accuracy.

==Milkor MGL Mk 1L (**)==
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a [[Milkor MGL#MGL Mk 1L|Milkor MGL Mk 1L]] to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock. At face value, the Piglet seems like the prime gun for replacing the GL40 given it's a GL40 with more rounds.

Problem is that it's a GL40 with six chambers you have to swap one at a time before closing up, plus lower accuracy overall and no leaf sight with magical servos for lifting that improve your grenade arc and thus you see why no one uses this anymore. Have fun trying to reload this as a bulldozer barrels at you like a freight train.

[[Image:PD2 MGL misc1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As Dallas takes a look at his Mk 1L, he showcases his terrible trigger discipline.]]

==RPG-7 (**)==
The [[RPG-7]] was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 12,500, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it is hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists. The only modifications the RPG can accept are sights. The backblast is also non-existent in this game.

It's big, it will one shot dozers and help you remove annoying turrets from existence and is more satisfying than ANYTHING else in the game to shoot, what's not to like?

[[file:Payday2 -hd1- rpg-7 reloading 2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After inserting a new rocket, Wolf cocks the hammer, something very rarely shown in games.]]

==China Lake Launcher (**)==
The [[China Lake Launcher]], known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday).

Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon. This is the actual GL40 replacer, given it's the same basic stats but with 3 spare rounds on tap plus a fairly speedy reload in comparison to other grenade launchers and with the bonus of being a secondary weapon. So you can whip out this fun surprise at any time!

==ATK XM25(**)==
The latest model of the [[XM25]] grenade launcher was added with the "Gage Spec Ops Pack" DLC. It has a very different unlocking method where the player has to find two keys and a box in four heists in order to unlock it. Known as the "Arbiter Grenade Launcher" in-game, it holds 5 rounds and does not come with its distinctive scope, thus restricting it to dumbfiring like any other launcher in the game, albeit the 25mm grenades travel faster and with less of an arc than the other 40mm grenade launchers.

That's really this thing's sales pitch, the 40mm fun without the massive amounts of drop or time delay, with a slight nerf to damage fitting the caliber difference. It does require some ASININE requirements to get it though, so most players opt for other methods of shock and awe.

==M202 FLASH(**)==
The [[M202 FLASH|M202A1 FLASH]] was added to the game with the release of the Scarface Heist DLC (not to be confused with the similarly-named Scarface '''Character''' DLC, which adds a HK417 instead (see above)).

Extremely powerful damage-wise, the M202A1 is second only to the RPG-7 in terms of punch, while boasting a quadrupled magazine size and doubled the reserve capacity, though it has no compatible mods aside from boosts.

==Heckler & Koch M320==
The [[Heckler & Koch M320]] was added to PAYDAY 2 in Update #169.2 as the Compact 40mm.

It serves as a secondary equivalent to the M79 and really has no sales pitch outside of "it's an M79 for people who never bought the Assault Pack" with the same amounts of high damage, low ammo reserves and even lower ammo pickup rate.

[[File:PD2 M320 aiming.jpg|thumb|600px|none|Iron sights. Disappointingly, the M320's leaf sight is not actually usable, not even as a gadget like that of the M79 and China Lake.

==Metal Storm 3GL(**)==
The [[Metal Storm 3GL]] under the alias of "Basilisk 3V Grenade Launcher" was added the the game as part of McShay Weapon Pack, which also introduces poison gas grenade modifications to all grenade launchers. This secondary weapon only fires in a slow full-auto, but its reloading can be cancelled partway for conserving ammo and doing less collateral damage.

The burst fire of the Metal Storm system makes it interesting, although it is some low damage for a secondary slot grenade launcher. That being said having one that can dump the contents of itself in a few seconds is an advantage, especially as it's dumping out poisonous gas that is more than likely a violation of the Geneva Conventions. But the cops failed to stop you from breaking into the White House to steal a pardon signed by Abraham Lincoln so I doubt the concerns of international law really matter anymore.

=Explosives=

==C4==
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100 however, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment.

[[File:PD2 C4 misc3.jpg|thumb|600px|none|3 sticks of C4 stuck to a safe.]]

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
The [[M18 smoke grenade]] is used by law enforcers from time to time. Initially the smoke grenade model was reused for the flash bangs used by the police, but the flash finally got its own model in an update.

A player-usable version was added as part of the Sangres Character Update and requires the appropriate perk unlocked to enable its use. Players are given infinite uses of their smoke grenades, though are entitled to only one at a time and with a short cooldown between each one. Unlike the police smoke grenade, the player-usable variant does more than just obstruct vision by decreasing nearby law enforcers' accuracy, while allowing those inside the smoke to dodge much of the incoming fire.

[[file:PD2 M18 smoke grenade.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inventory preview of the player-usable variant. Note that despite their print-on label and color-coded cap, these grenades emit whitish-lavender smoke when thrown instead of intense blue.]]

==M67 Hand Grenade (**)==
The [[M67 hand grenade]] was added in the first "Gage Weapon Pack" DLC. Players who own the DLC will start a heist with three grenades and they can also buy a briefcase that holds three grenades that all players can pick up and use. One should be careful when throwing one however, as police gunfire can detonate the grenade if it's hit.

Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2. They work exactly the same as the Aforementioned ones.
[[file:Baseball.jpg|thumb|none|150px|M67 hand grenade.]]

[[file:PD2 M67 misc3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A thrown grenade on the ground.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate (**)==
The [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]] was added as a melee weapon in the "Gage Historical Pack". It's referred to as the "Potato Masher" in-game.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

[[file:PD2 Model 24 misc2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dragan swatting SWAT away from his backyard.]]

==M84 Stun Grenade==
The [[M84 Stun Grenade]] was added in the "Hoxton's Housewarming Party" update under the misnomer of "Concussion Grenade". Unlike the normally non-lethal flashbang, concussion grenades are offensive explosives that emit powerful shockwaves when detonated, which can be lethal up close.

After an update, the law enforcers' own version of the flashbang has been updated to use this model.

[[File:PD2 M84 misc2.jpg|thumb|600px|none|An M84 grenade on the floor. Note that the grenade's spoon actually flies off and is seen laying on the ground.]]

==AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade==
Another addition the game's arsenal of grenades is the [[AN-M14 Incendiary Grenade]] as part of "The Search for Kento" community event. As with the Molotov Cocktails, it sets enemies on fire, but does not create a fiery area-of-denial despite being essentially a handheld thermite charge; rather, it explodes more like a regular hand grenade.

==VOG-25P Khattabka Grenade (**)==
The "Jiu Feng Smuggler Pack 2" DLC added, among other things, the "X1-ZAPper" grenade, a VOG-25P-based [[Khattabka grenade]]; unlike its real-world counterpart (a makeshift frag grenade made from a 40mm grenade launcher round with a hand grenade's fuze assembly), the X1 functions as an electric grenade, shocking any enemy caught in its blast radius.

=Other=

==Hand Held M134 Minigun==
A [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest fire rate of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, there is no actual iron sighting and the usually-nominal zoom is even less reliable. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source, though unlike most depictions of it in pop culture the in-game M134 does not need to be spooled up prior to firing, nor is the activity even possible during gameplay.

It has no accuracy, a manic pickup rate and a rate of fire that just hazes out your entire world while you fire it. Sure, there are better options but they aren't as fun as this.

However, they neglected to remove the speed buffs for cut down minigun parts at the same time, leading to the ability to run nearly twice as fast with a MINIGUN then any other weapon in the game. This was thankfully later patched. ]]

==Empty Shell LLC XM556 Microgun==
A new weapon added to the game on Day 5 of the Spring Break 2018 event is an upscaled [[XM556 Microgun]] by Empty Shell LLC. Known in-game as the XL 5.56 Microgun, the weapon basically consists of the real weapon's upsized main body rotated 90 degrees counter-clockwise and mounted onto a fictional chassis, with the trigger group presumably being modified to allow the use of a vertical pistol grip instead of the standard chainsaw-grip configuration; this configuration seems to have been inspired by the "Shoulder-Mounted Machine Gun" from ''[[Fallout: New Vegas]]'''s ''Lonesome Road'' DLC. Modifications include a short barrel cluster and "Heatsinked" versions of both configurations, which are just the barrels with a tactical sleeve fitted on.

It's a Minigun for those who didn't get the Overkill pack, which would be a complaint if it wasn't hilariously funny to trot into a combat encounter with either weapon.
[[File:XM556.jpg|thumb|none|400px|XM556 Microgun prototype - 5.56x45mm NATO. Since the manufacturer's website lists barrel and system life as "to be determined", this is probably a non-firing mockup.]]

The animation is pretty much identical to the M134D's, in that it doesn't explicitly show a new ammo can being fitted onto the weapon, the player character simply detaching the feed chute then clipping it back on shortly after, with various clanking noises in the background.]]

=="Hailstorm Mk 5"==
Added in the "McShay Weapon Pack 2" DLC, the "Hailstorm Mk 5" is a fictional weapon loosely based on the [[Magpul PDR]] visually, and the [[Metal Storm]] "Bertha" technology demonstrator rig conceptually. It holds 120 rounds in a 5x3 set of partly-removable barrels (with the forward section of the barrels remaining in place, and the rear section being detached as a single large block in a manner similar to the conceptually-analogous "Typhoon" from ''[[Crysis 3]]''), and features an integral laser sight, flashlight, and optic (complete with an electronic round counter). Its only available modifications are textured grip pads and alternate barrels (or rather, barrel extensions, since they seemingly all attach to the end of the existing ones) - an extended set, an integrally-suppressed set, and an extended, integrally-suppressed set - alongside a unique "Prototype" exclusive set that gives it a boxier upper receiver and a somewhat battered, unfinished look; this set's name would make a fair bit more sense if the basic version wasn't already marked "PROTOTYPE R-033".

Gameplay-wise, the Hailstorm is effectively two guns in one, with its two firemodes functioning completely differently - it can either fire in full-auto at a downright ludicrous 2,000 RPM (on par with the XM556 above; for trivia's sake, however, it's still a fair bit shy of the "Bertha" rig upon which it was based, whose 36 9mm barrels together managed ''1,000,000'' RPM), or in a "volley-shot" mode that fires every barrel at once, essentially turning it into a semi-automatic shotgun that can pierce ballistic shields; presumably for balance-related reasons, the latter mode has a short charge-up period before each shot, and consumes 30 rounds per volley despite only firing 15 "projectiles" gameplay-wise.

==Sentry Gun==
The [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a [[FN P90]] as its base.

==Browning M2HB==
A [[Browning M2HB]] machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the [[Browning M3|Browning M3 Aircraft]], it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.

The Midland Ranch heist introduces a usable turret version which can be repositioned and has limited ammunition.

==Heckler & Koch HK416D==
In the opening live-action title sequence, Chains wields an airsoft [[HK416|Heckler & Koch HK416D]] rifle.

==M18A1 Claymore==
The motel overrun by Russian mobsters in the "Hotline Miami" job has [[M18A1 Claymore]] booby traps randomly placed on some of the door frames to the rooms. These Claymores are depicted as laser tripmines instead of command-detonated using a manual trigger. The laser tripwires sometimes disappear if the door is opened via brute force, though the Claymores will stay and are still very explosive if shot at.
