Pistols

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is featured on the official artwork of the game and in game itself as a more powerful pistol. It features a capacity of only 10 rounds, rather than the full 15. There is also a suppressed version, which for some reason uses different ammunition.

SIG-Sauer P225

Although the rendering and in game model for Tanner's default pistol is some kind of mishmash between different models, the inventory icon for it is a silhouette of a SIG-Sauer P225.

Franchi SPAS-12

A Franchi SPAS-12 with the stock removed appears as a shotgun in the game. Like the real thing, it fires in semi-auto mode and has an 8-shell magazine capacity.

Submachine guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

The Heckler & Koch MP5A5 appears as a more powerful submachine gun in game, as well as in cutscenes. The telescoping stock has been removed, and it has a 15-round magazine. Also, despite having the Navy trigger pack markings, it does not feature the ambidextrous safety lever. Jones is also seen with this gun with the stock in place. The in-game model also features the stock and a 15 or 20-round magazine, but is given a capacity of 30 rounds.

IMI Uzi

The IMI Uzi is the first submachine gun model to appear in game. It has a capacity of 32 rounds, despite only being modeled with a 20-round magazine.

Micro Uzi

In the GBA version, a Micro Uzi is seen when selecting the option to play Undercover mode.

Ingram MAC-10

The MAC-10 is the last submachine gun to appear in the game. It has a ridiculous magazine capacity of 60 rounds to offset its high rate of fire and low range.

Tanner fires the Ingram. Like the Uzi, the grip of the MAC-10 has been slanted back and also differs from the actual design of the grip.


Assault Rifles

M16A4

The M16A4 appears as the assault rifle in game as well as in cutscenes and FMVs. Unlike the actual A4 model, the in-game version fires full auto. Also, the weapon is given a capacity of 60 rounds, even though it is only modelled with a 30-round magazine. Remarkably, the in-game model is a slightly modified model from the beta version of Driver: Parallel Lines.

Tanner reloads his M16. The in-game model has quite skewed proportions and seems unusually small, being about the size of a Colt carbine like the Colt XM177.

Beretta AR-70/223

A silhouette of the Beretta AR-70/223 is seen on a warning poster at the Miami PD firing range.

Other

M79 Grenade Launcher

The M79 Grenade Launcher is featured as the strongest weapon on the game. The grenades do not detonate on impact, instead rolling around on the ground, leaving a trail of smoke for a few seconds.
