Nightmare House 2

Nightmare House 2 (2010)

Nightmare House 2 is a survival-horror modification for the first-person shooter game Half-Life 2 (requiring the installation of Half-Life 2: Episode 2 to be played) developed by We Create Stuff, initially released in 2010. The modification serves as a sequel to Nightmare House, a small horror-themed map pack released in 2005, rebooting the original mod's story and introducing brand new and proprietary models, textures, gameplay, voice acting, etc.

It is divided in several chapters, with the Prologue being set in a remastered version of the house from Nightmare House and the later chapters in the "Never Lose Hope Hospital". The player character ("The Patient") wakes up in the mental ward of this hospital, which is abandoned, infested with zombies and haunted by the ghost of a woman who constantly torments him. The Patient must travel and fight his way through the hospital to find a way out, most of the time completely alone; with the occasional help of the sketchy Dr. Romero or a few SWAT team members sent to a "search and destroy" mission.

The following weapons appear in the video game Nightmare House 2:

Colt Model 1903

The Colt Model 1903 semiautomatic pistol is the first firearm the player acquires in both the Prologue and in Chapter 1. It has a capacity of 9 rounds (implying that one round is always put in the chamber) and mediocre power and accuracy, best used as a backup weapon. The markings on the gun state that it was manufactured by "Bolt"

Colt Model 1903 Pocket Hammerless Pistol Blued - .32 ACP

World model of the Colt Model 1903. "U.S. PROPERTY" is written on the frame beneath the slide, indicating it was used by the military.

Assuming that he is in an emergency, The Patient character breaks the glass and arms himself with the pistol.

Taurus Model 66

What probably is a stainless steel Taurus Model 66 revolver appears in the game (both in the Prologue and later chapters) as a powerful and accurate sidearm, but with rare ammunition. It's good for finishing off stronger enemies with more ease, and is pretty much a one-hit-kill with weaker ones. According to the markings, the revolver was made by "Saurus".

Early model Taurus Model 66 with blued finish and wood grips - .357 Magnum

World model of the Taurus. It bears differences from the model of the image above, such as a non-shrouded ejector rod, and grip shaped like regular wooden grips with a synthetic texture, rather than actual rubber grips.

Heckler & Koch UMP40

The Heckler & Koch UMP40 submachine gun with a RIS foregrip appears in the game, first seen in the hands of some SWAT team members and given to the player shortly afterwards. It probably is the UMP40 as it has a straight box magazine and a 30 round capacity. It fires full auto but has a rather low rate of fire, though it still is a nice weapon to dispatch large groups of enemies.

The UMP40 rests on the floor, awaiting for the player to pick it up. Note that both sides of the weapon lack an ejection port.

Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6

An earlier model of a Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6 shotgun appears in the Prologue and later chapters (in the latter, however, the player only gets to use towards the end of the game). A good gun to quickly put down enemies in close quarters with few shots. One particular SWAT team member is equipped this shotgun, using it to bust open locked doors (realistic to how SWAT teams use shotguns in real life) but also during combat. It has a capacity 8 shells, which would be plausible if the model's magazine tube was made longer.

FABARM SDASS PRO FORCES - 12 gauge; this is a more recent model with different looks.

World model of the Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6. "LPA Italy" is written on the rear sight, just like the real steel.

Antique guns

During the Prologue chapter, inside the same cabinet where the shotgun is found, two old long guns are also seen inside. They are unusable, and the case's model can be also seen in other Source games (such as Counter-Strike: Source).

The one on the left looks like a percussion musket, while the one on the right looks like a falling block rifle.
