Description: Standard issue U.S. Army 40mm grenade launcher. Rugged and reliable. The grenade launcher is excellent in clearing out a room. Sneak up to a room containing multiple enemies. Fire the grenade at the feet of a guard (hopefully in conversation with another) and cause an explosion large enough to either annihilate or cause heavy damage to all the room's inhabitants. Watch out for guards holding their own grenade launchers. The weapon is extremely deadly and, if you aren't careful, it's difficult to avoid the live grenades - and it doesn't take much to blow Cate apart! AK-47 Assault Rifle Description: A standard Eastern Bloc military issue assault rifle renowned for its simple design and rugged construction. It is reliable and easy to maintain. It uses a 30 round magazine. The only downside to the AK-47 assault rifle is that it uses different ammunition than the pistols and other submachineguns - which means it's easy to run dry, forcing you to switch to another weapon. Consider holding a back up machinegun to use when the AK-47's reserves empty. Late in the game, you can find an AK scope, which turns the weapon into a workable long-range assault gun. You will be inaccurate, though, so don't expect to knock off enemies from long range with just a few AK shots. It's best used in close quarters to mow down several enemies within a few seconds. Hampton Carbine Description: Bolt action .45 caliber sniper rifle with integral suppressor. The Hampton carbine is one of the world's only truly silent firearms. You'll use the carbine in the first mission, and it's the quietest sniper weapon - extremely useful in stealth missions or in any mission where you wish to remain undetected. It's not as powerful as the Geldmacher SVD, but its extremely effective during stealth situations. It also takes awhile to reload, so don't expect the carbine to be useful as a sidearm (not in sniper mode); it's best to use pistols or submachineguns for those situations. Morris Model 14 Spear Gun Description: A spear gun. Popular with SCUBA divers. Basically an underwater crossbow, the spear gun boasts a powerful shot, but a long reload time. You'll face divers using their own spear guns. To avoid the shot, dodge quickly from side to side during your own spear gun's reload time. Any bolt into the enemy's torso or head area will be an instant kill. Plus, the enemies won't dodge the shot as you might. Fire upon sight and don't give the enemy diver time to get his own shot off. Geldmacher SVD Description: A renowned Eastern Bloc sniper rifle that has earned a reputation as one of the world's most fearsome firearms. It is accurate and deadly even at extreme ranges. The Geldmacher is the most powerful sniper weapon - but it's also the loudest and carries a long reload time. It's useful in missions where stealth isn't required. Locate a good vantage point and pull out the Geldmacher to take out enemies in the area. It's so loud though that it's likely other enemies in the area will charge your position. Be sure to carry a back-up weapon, such as a pistol or submachinegun (with sufficient ammo, naturally) to defend yourself against those rushing attackers. Bacalov Corrector Description: A specialized single shot weapon that fires powerful high explosive rounds. The corrector is rarely carried as a primary sidearm due to its somewhat lengthy reload, but it makes an effective complement to a semi-automatic pistol or assault rifle. You could think of the Bacalov as a pistol. Thus, it's the most powerful pistol, though it's the loudest and carries the longest reload time. You can use it in scoped mode, though, for a more accurate shot. In the single-player game, it's tough to use the Bacalov. It surely won't help you remain undetected, and it's slow reload time causes problems if there are many enemies in the area. But in multiplayer games, sneaking up on someone with the Bacalov can be a rewarding experience. Briefcase Description: A handsome ally briefcase that transforms into a handheld missile launcher. You won't find much ammunition for this powerful projectile weapon, so be careful with its use. It's best to fire the missile launcher briefcase into a room with multiple enemies, much like the grenade launcher. Its explosive shell can cause heavy damage to several enemies at once (that is, if it doesn't kill them instantly). It's also a powerful weapon in multiplayer; though be careful, as the reload time is slow, and it runs out of ammunition very quickly. Have a back-up weapon ready to finish off your opponent.
