Revision as of 09:27, 22 January 2014
The following weapons were used in the video game Postal 2
Desert Eagle
The main pistol is a Desert Eagle .50 AE, which has good range and accuracy, and can kill most targets in two or three hits. A shiny chrome version with a suppressor and "M@D" markings on the slide is added in the officially-recognized "A Week in Paradise" mod.
Glock
The second available pistol in the game is a Glock 18. It has good range and is able to fire in Single, Burst, or Fully Automatic, it's as powerful as the Assault Rifle, but suffers from surprisingly terrible recoil.
Remington 870 Police Folder
The main shotgun in the game is a Remington 870 Police Folder with an extended magazine tube, a black foregrip, and a Mossberg heat-shield. It is a twelve-gauge shotgun with a powerful punch which can blow someone's head up with a single close-range shot. Cats found in-game can be used as an effective "silencer", but the cat will only survive for nine shots before flying off the barrel and gibbing.
Unknown Sawed-Off Shotgun
The second available shotgun in the game is a Sawed-Off Shotgun and is usually found in the empty stores of the Paradise Mall. Very powerful at close range, it is able to blow people in half with ease. It's also one of the three guns (the other two with a reload animation are the Grenade Launcher and the Napalm Launcher) to have a reload animation.
M16A2
The M16A2 is the sole automatic rifle in the game. It has a medium powered punch, and can take down gangs easily, though it is rather inaccurate at range. The cat-silencer can be used on this weapon as well, though again it will only last for nine shots - which, given the rate of fire, means the player will use it up within a second. The in-game rifle also comes equipped with a Pachmayr Vindicator pistol grip. Though the weapon fires full-auto, the model's safety lever is set on Semi.
MP5
The MP5 is the second 'assualt weapon' in the game you can acquire. Behaving just like the M16, its medium powered, but can't accept the cat-silencer. In a surprise design choice, you can switch the weapon from Full-Auto to Single-Shot and the Postal Dude will switch the gun to whatever you choose and it shows on the the model!
M24 SWS
The M24 is the only sniper rifle in the game. The rate of fire is exceptionally slow and the gun is nearly useless without using the attached scope (accuracy is severely lowered when firing without it). When being used by the player, the model is reversed, with a left-sided bolt handle. The A Week in Paradise mod included in the Fudge Pack release of the game has an alternate version of the weapon, with synthetic furniture and a suppressor attached. It is also perfectly accurate even without aiming through the scope, though otherwise is identical to the base game's sniper rifle.
Grenade Launcher
The Grenade Launcher, based on the M79 Grenade Launcher, is one of the three explosive weapons in the game that you can acquire and the only one of the three that can be reloaded. Although the reload animation shows the Postal Dude loading in the correct ammo, the actual shot that comes out of the tube is the model for the hand grenades and behave just like them.
M26 hand grenade
The M26 hand grenade is the game's sole type of grenade, with an effective blast radius. The grenade can also be placed on the ground to act as an improvised mine, at which point it can also be kicked at people to detonate on impact.
M136 AT4
This is one of the two rocket launchers in the game. It launches slow-moving rocket-propelled grenades that can home in on targets.
Trivia
Napalm Launcher
The Napalm Launcher is the last weapon in the 'launcher' style of guns in Postal 2 and also the only gun in the game not based on any real-life weapon, although it does reload like an RPG, making the third gun in the game to have a reload animation. Shooting a container of napalm, the trail it leaves will light on fire almost instantly, torching anyone and anything in its path (Yes including you).
