Additon Weapons:

Though not seen but confirmed: (Asking for confirmation on other weapons.)

Six to Seven pistols can be obtained including a .357 magnum possibly a Colt Python.

Currently there is seven pistols (including magnum type weapons), these include the Beretta 92FS, H&K USP, SIG P226, Beretta M93R, S&W M29, Desert Eagle, S&W M500. Unknown weapons such as the Beretta PX4 and other weapons have not yet been found. Draco122

There are several secret weapons that can be obtained as well. According to a recent Gamepro article, these weapons range from new to old tech. It is unknown how many there are.

Also, several shotguns (unknown number) have been confirmed. This includes a single barreled pump action (possibly the one we've seen in pictures.), a semi auto and a double barreled shotgun. It has also been confirmed there will be a three barreled shotgun that can do extreme damage.

There are roughly four shotguns currently, the Ithaca Model 37, Benelli M3 and Striker which is currently named the Jail Breaker, the Hydra shotgun is the fictional shotgun with 3 barrels. Draco122

All weapons can be upgraded much like the weapons in Resident Evil 4 in terms of capacity, damage, fire rate and reload rate.

Real-life attributes

The article says that some guns can be upgraded far beyond their real-life capabilities in terms of power, but for a lot of them, that's not true. The stock power of the Ithaca M37 is more like .410 buckshot than a 12 Gauge, and the .380 ACP round that the Vz. 61 uses is still around the power of a downgraded 9mm, so having to use more than 20 rounds to down a man is not realistic. Stock power of almost every single gun is unrealistic, especially considering the fact that the Majini are human; the Plaga might give the subject greater resistance to pain, but it doesn't give any actual strength (they don't seem to modify the host, other than a few specialized variants). For the USP/P8 being able to penetrate wood/bone shields using even 9mm +P+ or the SIG P226 having significantly more power than the rest of them, yes, that's far beyond their capability, but for the Beretta 92FS having 4 round center mass kills using 9mms? That's realistic.


My biggest problem with this game

The intense gunplay is cool and fun, but when you come face to face with enemies with AK-74s and RPGS and turrets, having the ability to walk while shooting will go a long way, but the creators didn't want to do that because it takes away the intense quick aiming you have to do. Bullcrap. They did it because they don't want their game to feel like Metal Gear Solid 4 or Gears of Wars. I wouldn't have made this complaint if all enemies don't shoot back with full auto assault rifles. Bows and arrows and crossbows are ok, but when AKs are shooting at you, I like a better cover system and moving while shooting or aiming so I can peer around corners and take out threats. Excalibur01 12:04, 3 April 2009 (UTC) Ditto here, there is nothing more frustraiting to just sit there and try to shoot back when one has trained IRL to shoot while moveing. Rockwolf66

I have to agree. While I hugely enjoyed the game, having to freeze while shooting kind of sucked. However, it'd probably best to stay put when blasting away with the Gatling Gun. M14fanboy 06:16, 31 August 2009 (UTC)
I have to disagree 100%. Resident Evil is supposed to be a survival horror game, not Metal Gear Solid, Halo, or Gears of War. It's not supposed to be a shooter. The franchise I loved for so long has begun to die since the day RE4 was released thanks to incorporating too many shooter elements. Spartan198 02:10, 21 December 2009 (UTC)

Weapon Images

Can anyone get the Images for the weapons from the weapon upgrade screen that's between the chapters. I play it on the 360 and whatever screencaps I can make would be digital pics of a TV screen. Rockwolf66 06:21, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Thank's ProtoAuthor for adding the in game weapon Images. I'm going to check my guide and start adding the various in game titles to those images.
You're welcome. I just found those online and figured the article could use them. Hadn't even read your request, to be honest. -protoAuthor 19:32, 7 October 2009 (UTC)

SVD Dragunov is not a sniper rifle

Why do folks here keep confusing it as such? It is a marksman/designated marksman rifle.

There isn't much distinction between DMRs and sniper rifles in terms of gameplay. Spartan198 02:12, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
It's classified as a "sniper rifle" ingame anyway.--PistolJunkie 03:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)
The SVD has always been referred to as a sniper rifle. A DMR is basically as assault rifle with semi auto only and a specific barrel for better accuracy. Excalibur01

The russians themselves said it was a DMR, are you discrediting the makers? --FIVETWOSEVEN 23:14, 8 March 2010 (UTC)

Yes, but the U.S. Military and historians for years called it a sniper rifle. It WAS used in that role in Vietnam by NVA Snipers (as well as M91/30s) It CAN be used in such a role, however, in recent times, much more accurate (and larger caliber) weapons have been built. Calling it a sniper rifle is not ridiculous, though one can always make a note if they really want to be ultra specific about it on the various gun and movie pages. MoviePropMaster2008 00:42, 9 March 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, it really doesn't make much difference in-game. They all seem to have the same inherent accuracy, virtually no bullet drop, and every one of them is pre-zeroed to hit the same POI. So, it really doesn't matter what you call it. Although I find it really odd how this article says the the 7.62x54R has less power than the .308 Win based 7.62x51mm. I mean, you can SEE that the Soviet round has 3mm more case capacity, which means that it has a greater possible power level. In-game, the Russian round is the same as the .308 Win round, but that could be explained by downloading it. Again, I suppose it really doesn't make a difference.

Gold Edition

there is going to be a new gold edition to Resident Evil 5 and i think there might be some new characters and possibly some new guns

Erm...--PistolJunkie 05:56, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

The only aspect of the Gold edition I like is the mansion level which is a return back to Resident Evil 1 where you have limited ammo and a more darker aspect. It's more scary than RE5 would be. You can even change the camera to a fixed position like the RE games of old. Excalibur01

New guns: Barry's Samurai Edge, Barry's Revolver.

Too bad this isn't for the PC version Excalibur01

Barry's revolver only makes an appearance when he does a special move, it isn't an equipable weapon.

It should still be added to the page though.

H&K P8

It is a P8. Look at the safety.--ColonelTomb 00:42, 11 April 2010 (UTC)
