Just Cause 2 is a 2010 third-person open world action-adventure game developed by Avalanche Studios and Eidos Interactive, and published by Square Enix for Windows PC, Xbox 360 and PS3. The story follows the original game's protagonist, CIA agent Rico Rodriguez, this time finding him sent to the fictional archipelago of Panau, which appears to be based loosely on Indonesia. He is tasked with toppling its ruthless dictator, Pandak "Baby" Panay, who has taken power after a coup against his own his father's pro-Western government and massively enlarged Panau's military capabilities.

A multiplayer mod was developed for the PC version, which was later given an official release via Steam.

The following firearms appear in the video game Just Cause 2:


Overview

Weapons are most easily obtained from the Panauan Military, which are present throughout the islands. Rico can carry a total of two smaller weapons (In holsters on both hips), and one larger 'heavy' weapon (slung over his back). The small weapons, i.e. the Desert Eagle, S&W M500, Sawn-off double barrel and FAMAE SAF, can be dual wielded, using any combination of the four weapon types. All the weapons and vehicles can be upgraded over the course of the game using upgrade points found in the game world, or earned by completing missions.

Handguns

Desert Eagle Mark VII

The Desert Eagle appears as the "Pistol". It can be identified as the Mark VII by the safety lever and its lack of scope rails as featured on the Mark XIX. The true caliber cannot be determined: The real Desert Eagle holds 9 rounds in .357 Magnum, 8 in .44 Magnum and 7 in .50 AE, while the in-game version starts out with a 12 round magazine.

Smith & Wesson Model 500

This Revolver is based on the Smith & Wesson Model 500, but the in-game model has some incorrect features which include: the cylinder latch being too low, the barrel seems to be based on Taurus Tracker revolvers, no compensator ports, and finally the cylinder holds 6 shots instead of 5, which is funny, because in-game it starts out with a 7 shot capacity.

Submachine Guns

FAMAE SAF

The FAMAE SAF is dubbed the "Submachine Gun" ingame. The weapon was modeled without any kind of stock.

Just Cause 2's physics are firmly in the realm of "silly;" here, Rico shoots a Panauan soldier into the air with his FAMAE SAF.

Assault Rifles

Colt M4A1

An M4-like carbine appears in-game as the "Assault Rifle". The magazine capacity can be gradually upgraded from 20 to 30 rounds across 6 levels. The in-game version lacks a carry handle, has a free floating handguard and a tubular metal buttstock with cheek rest; it is not entirely clear if the buttstock incorporates the buffer tube or if the rifle is designed after an M4-like gas piston rifle or airsoft gun without a buffer tube. Resembles highly the Brazilian IMBEL MB-2, a copy of the M4.

"Bull's Eye Assault Rifle"

A DLC weapon, the Bull's Eye features a scope for increased long-range effectiveness, and is restricted to semi-automatic fire. The weapon model appears to simply be the M4 model with "futuristic" embellishments added over the top of it, seemingly with the goal of making it (very slightly) resemble a Heckler & Koch XM8.

Sniper Rifles

FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle

A FPK / PSL Sniper Rifle with modified shoulder stock and synthetic foregrip appears as the "Sniper Rifle". Interestingly, enemy snipers are frequently seen using this weapon in conjunction with Laser Aiming Modules, which are never actually present on the rifles.

Shotguns

Sawn-Off Double Barrel Side-by-Side Shotgun

An unknown sawn off double barrel shotgun is used by the Panauan Military, and can be seen in conjunction with the larger pump shotgun. For some odd reason, Rico and enemies are capable of firing three (!) shots from the gun before having to reload, despite the gun having only two barrels. Completely devastating at close range, especially when dual-wielded.

FN Tactical Police Shotgun

The 'Pump Shotgun' in the game is based off of an FN Tactical Police Shotgun, incorporating design cues from the Benelli M4 Super 90 as well. Found throughout Panau.

Machine Guns

FN M249

The M249 is called the "Machine Gun". Mounted on patrol boats and Jeeps, and also able to be picked up and hand-fired by Rico. The M249 and M134 Minigun share a mounting which includes an ammo box; this is not part of the weapon model, meaning that when carried the M249 has no ammunition drum. It is primarily based on the E2 version, but includes the sliding stock of the SPW.

A rather bizarre sight after the first mission, a massive M249 made from two overlapped weapon models. This appears to be intentional, since the front M249 has no spade grips.

Explosives

Type 97 hand grenade

The games resident fragmentation grenade. This appears to be a Type 97 hand grenade with a M26 fuze assembly and spoon.

Heavy Weaponry

LeFH 18/40

What appear to be lengthened LeFH 18/40 105mm field guns with a mislocated handwheel on the breech and a fictional turntable mounting with fuze-setting equipment are found at certain high-security locations throughout Panau. They can be used by Rico, and are shown as slow-firing self-loading weapons, with no real way given for them to fire more than once since he simply sits in a seat to one side when he is using them.

Aiming the gun: note the huge cutout for Rico's head that would essentially provide no protection at all.

Pansarskott m/86

The Pansarskott m/86, a Swedish variant of the M136 AT4 with a folding front grip, is called the "Rocket Launcher". Holds an unrealistic 3 rockets at upgrade level 1. "Baby" Panay carries an even more unrealistic version which is semi-automatic and never reloads.

GE M134 Minigun

The GE M134 can be found mounted in emplacements, on patrol boats and helicopters. It's most prominent appearance is during the mission "The White Tiger". The M134 in emplacements can be removed and carried around similar to the GE M134 handheld Minigun in Terminator 2. Although in Just Cause 2 the weapon retains it's spade grips along with the added pistol grip.

M202 FLASH Rocket Launcher

The M202 FLASH quad-barreled rocket launcher is a weapon contained in the 'Boom Pack' DLC; the weapon is shown with an extended midsection which appears to be a copy of the loaded rounds at the rear. The M202 rather bizarrely holds eight shots; all the more bizarre since each "shot" is all four tubes firing at once.

Standalone M203 Grenade Launcher

A fictional weapon called the 'Cluster Bomb Launcher' appears as part of the 'Boom Pack' DLC. it appears to be a magazine-fed M203 mounted on a stand alone frame unit. When fired, it fires several grenade-like projectiles that explode after a few seconds.

Flakvierling 38

Flakvierling 38 quad guns are present in most high-security locations belonging to the Panauan military.

Rico makes the entirely logical conclusion that this means it can never run out of ammunition, and gets down to his usual hobby of blowing things up.
