Kane & Lynch: Dead Men is a 2007 videogame developed by Danish company IO Interactive. It tells the tale of one Adam "Kane" Marcus, a mercenary associated with the mysterious and feared "The7" group, who specialize in overthrowing countries. A major plot point is how Kane might have stolen diamonds from the group and left them to die, or to "burn" as the game often says it, in South America. It is never confirmed if he ever did or didn't abandon his comrades. The game starts when Kane, being transported to his execution for executing twenty-seven people in Venezuela, is rescued by what is left of The7 and given a task: get the diamonds back. They hold his estranged family as collateral and team him up with a watchdog named Lynch, a psychopathic wife-killer. Together they must travel from L.A. to Tokyo to Venezuela trying to either get the stones, or kill the remaining members of The7.

Despite a strong story and genuine anti-heroes, the game recieved only mediocre reviews, most challenging it's controls.

The following weapons appear in the video game Kane & Lynch: Dead Men:

Handguns

Browning Hi-Power

A newer-model Hi-Power can be seen on the boxart, but is never used in-game.

Heckler and Koch USP

A H&K USP in .40 S&W is by far the most common pistol in the game

The barrel enscription confirms the varient of the USP in-game is chambered in .40 S&W

Taurus Raging Bull

Lynch uses a Taurus Raging Bull chambered for the massive and discontinued .480 Ruger cartridge as his sidearm for the majority of the game. The model was taken from Hitman: Blood Money, IO Interactive's previous game before Kane & Lynch.

Shotguns

Remington 870

Lynch's long-gun for the first half of the game is a Remington 870 shotgun with an extended magazine tube. He later swaps it out for a SPAS-12 in Havana

Franchi SPAS-12

After flying to Havana to thwart The7's retirement job, an overthrow of Fidel Castro, Lynch trades the Remington 870 he used for the fist half of the game for a stockless Franchi SPAS-12, which he carries for the rest of the game. It's interesting to note that the SPAS depicted in-game fires exclusively on semi-automatic, relatively rare for a videogame, which usually depict it as being only pump-action

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A3 (Chopped and converted HK94)

A H&K 94 chopped to resemble an MP5 can be seen in the Japanese levels and is also the default weapon of the crooks in Fragile Alliance

FN P90

After being liberated from death row to steal back diamonds he supposedly betrayed his comrades for. Kane arms himself with an FN P90 to rob the bank where they are held. It is only used in two levels before Kane discards it in favor of a SIG 552. The Belgian submachine gun is also the cheapest weapon to upgrade to in Fragile Alliance, where it also gives the buyer a light kevlar vest

Steyr TMP

A Steyr TMP can be seen in an early trailer being used by one of Retomoto's bodyguards. However, the machine pistol was removed from the release of the game. The model agains appears to be from Hitman

Assault Rifles

SIG SG 552

After kidnapping Retomoto's daughter from her nightclub (the entire level is an homage to Collateral, down to the kind of suit Kane wears) Kane starts to carry a SIG 552 as his main weapon. He does so for the rest of the game. A few of The7's thugs also carry this assault rifle in the opening chapter

Colt M4A1 Carbine

M4A1 Carbines are the most common assault rifles in the game. The LAPD Swat and Japanese SAT squads are the most prominent users of it. It, along with an extra grenade and a stronger kevlar vest, can bought in Fragile Alliance as a fairly cost-effective upgrade.

AK-74M

Modernized AK-74s are used by the pro-Castro Cubans in the Havava chapter. Unfortunately, said Cubans die in droves during the chapter, leaving more than a few for Kane and Lynch.

AKM

After Kane and Lynch clear the path to Havana's palace, a mass of Cuban soldiers charge the anti-Castro rebels position's in the palace. Most of them appear to carry poorly rendered AKMs. It is not usable by the player

Ruger Mini-14

The Ruger Mini-14 appears only in the "Breakout" level, where it manages to be the best weapon in the game with spot-on accuracy and incredible damage. Sadly, it is only in one level. Many fans even commented that bringing the rifle would have made the difficutly ramp that happens after the prison level much easier to bear.
