Welcome to Gaia! ::

I don''t know why Capcom decided to give the weapons stupid names like The Punisher or Blacktail. But it made all the

harder to figure out what kind of gun it is in real life. So I went to look for them and found what I think are the

guns from Resident Evil 4. I''m looking at every detail except the color. Guns can be of any color, it''s the design

that matters.

Handgun

HK Mk.23 (The pattern on the handle is different, other than that, it''s identical.

You might also know this gun as SOCOM from MGS. However, the standard caliber for an M.23 is 45, and in RE4, the caliber is 9mm, so it makes me wonder. But the design is exactly the same.)

Red9

Mauser C-96

With Stock

Punisher

Five-seveN Tactical (Again the handle pattern is different from the punisher, but other than that, the design is

identical.)

Blacktail

CZ 110

Broken Butterfly
(REvolvers are a b***h to find. I could not find one with that exact design.)

Killer7

Colt Government model Series 80 .45ACP (This one may be wrong. I know that a lot of gun companies copy this very

design. So it could be a clone. But the only thing that''s iffy is the trigger.)

Matilda

HK-VP70 with holster stock (Thanks to RE2''s description, I didn''t have to look hard for it.)

Shotgun

Remington 870 Express (Don''t mind that spare barrel.)

Riot Gun

Benelli M4

Striker

Striker is what it''s called.

Rifle

Arisaka Type 99 (It''s not that exact one. That was the closest looking one I found, but the rifle in RE is .223,

this one is .303)

Rifle (semi-auto)
Couldn''t find one that matched this one''s design. But it''s a standard caliber sniper rifle.

TMP

Steyr TMP

Intresting. I dunno but the names were pretty cool I guess.

I heard somewhere that REvolvers were Smith and Westons... Something like this

See, they might have been, but come on! You know what kinds of weapons have names like Punisher? RPG games, and that was the biggest turnoff in RE4, the RPGish shopping and upgrading aspect. Nothing is cooler for a gun that a big number and letter code like Beretta M92FS, that was cool. Or M4A1, or AK-47, you know what I mean?

It's like they were going RPG with the merchant..... gonk

Actually if you were stuck in RE land you probably wouldn't want an M4a1. Go with a G36k or an AK74.
I think that the Broken Butterfly is an old WWI/WWII Webley Revolver chambered to fire .45 ACP. Most revolver don't use .45 caliber ammo because it's harder to extract the ammo from the weapon. (.45 ammo is generally intended to be used in automatic pistols, not revolvers.) If it isn't a Webley...then I can't tell you what it is.

Well they used the names all the way up to REmake. It's not like they said, "As of 2002, real gun names are not to be used in games!" They still used the TMP's real name.

ALSO: I just watched a show of SWAT in Phillidelphia(sp), for their sidearm, they use the Punisher handgun. And yeah, it can pierce police armor, so if it shoots through 2 enemies, it's believable. I also found out that it is being released n the Civilian market soon.

The "handgun" that Leon starts out with looks like a USP. These are usually chambered in 9mm.
The sniper rifle resembles a Springfield M1903 more than the Type 99.
As for the Broken Butterfly...it looks like a cross between a Webley and Scott Mk VI .455 and an Enfield .38 Mk I (Sorry, that's about as narrowed down as I can get. British revolvers are really a pain to find out info. about.) sweatdrop
