Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne

Beretta 92FS

Max Payne's signature 9mm pistols are Beretta 92FSs. The use of dual Beretta's is a homage to John Woo, which the Max Payne series borrows heavily from.

Desert Eagle

The Desert Eagle XIX is the signature weapon of Mona Sax. The version in game is a very shiny stainless steel, with gold controls and ivory grips. In game it holds 10 rounds, only possible with a Desert Eagle in .357 with a round chambered and a full magazine. However, close examination of the gun shows ".50AE" on the front of the gun's frame. In the console versions of the game, the Desert Eagle is shown in something like olive drab, and the slide does not move when fired.

A Desert Eagle Mark XIX with chrome finish, gold controls, and dark-ivory grip. This is an actual movie gun from the inventory of Weapons Specialists, Ltd. in New York, and was featured in The Sopranos. It was also most likely the inspiration for the Desert Eagle seen in Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne.

The first appearance of Mona and the Desert Eagle.

Mona continues to take down the cleaners by the elevator, each with a single headshot. Sadly, due to engine constraints, the slide does not move and brass is not ejected during cut-scenes.

Mona's formal introduction, in freeze frame. If you zoom in on the front of the Desert Eagle, you can see the telltale ".50AE" mark that confirms this is a Desert Eagle XIX.

Remington 870

The Remington 870P, distinguished by its folding stock, is the primary pump action shotgun available in the game.

Sawn-Off shotgun

The "Sawed-Off" double barrel shotgun is the first shotgun found by Max. It's primary usefulness comes from having the fastest rate of fire of the three shotguns, but given its capacity of only 2 shells, its effectiveness against multiple targets is limited. That disadvantage is completely bypassed in bullet-time mode however, since any and all weapons can be instantly reloaded while the player character performs a strange "spinning crouch" animation that somehow completely loads the weapons(s) in his or her hand(s).

Thus, when bullet-time mode is active, the Sawed-Off shotgun becomes the quickest way to shoot shotgun shells quickly and consistently at targets, which may be one reason why it cannot be accessed in the game's "Dead Man Walking" mode, as it would provide an overly easy method of achieving a high score.

Sentinel Arms Striker-12

The Sentinel Arms Striker-12 is known as the Striker Shotgun in the game. Note that the real-life weapon can't be reloaded with a simple replacement of the drum-shaped magazine (as seen in the game), because the buckshot must be inserted one by one as with a normal tube magazine-fed shotgun. Furthermore, the weapon's real-life magazine capacity is 12 cartridges, not 10 as in the game.

Heckler & Koch MP5A3(Chopped and converted HK94)

The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 in the game, called simply the "MP5" is actually a chopped and converted HK94. This is likely because the developers were given an HK94 to model the game weapon from. The distinguishing features of the HK94 are it's lack of a paddle magazine release, the different shape of the grip and where it connects to the lower receiver, and the slightly different shape of the barrel(which has been cut down from it's original carbine length).

Norinco Type 56

The Type 56 appears in game as the "Kalashnikov" and is most notably carried by Mike the Cowboy, one of Vladimir's high ranking soldiers.

AK-47 - 7.62x39mm.

M4A1 Carbine

The Colt M4A1 Carbine appears in game as the "M4 Carbine." It is portrayed as having a very slow rate of fire, but makes up for it with power and accuracy.

Steyr SSG 69

The Steyr SSG 69 appears in game as the "Sniper Rifle." It is first seen in the hands of cleaners at Max's apartment complex, and Max can later get it for himself. Mona can never acquire this weapon.
