Resident Evil (1996)

Resident Evil is the 1996 horror survival video game that launched the successful Resident Evil franchise. The game was first released for the original Playstation console and has since been remade with updated graphics for the Nintendo Gamecube in 2002.


The following weapons appear in the video game Resident Evil (1996 VG):


Handguns

Beretta 92FS

The Beretta 92FS is the standard S.T.A.R.S. sidearm (incorrectly referred to as the "M92" ingame).

Colt Python

Barry Burton's primary weapon throughout the game is a nickel-plated Colt Python revolver. In some editions of the PC version, special rounds exist in the game's files called "Dum Dum's" (an antiquated term for soft-nose or hollow-point bullets) which increase the weapon's damage even further.

Other

FN Minimi

Like the Ingram MAC-10, a FN Minimi can be unlocked for the PC version by beating the game with Chris under certain conditions. It does surprisingly little damage - each shot equivalent to a basic handgun round- but is useful for keeping fast-moving enemies at bay.

M202 FLASH

The most powerful weapon in the game is a M202 FLASH that is given to the player during the final boss battle. It can also be unlocked with infinite ammo for use during the rest of the game upon completing the game within specific conditions.

Flamethrower

A flamethrower is modeled after the M240 from Aliens (sans M16 carry handle) is available ingame.

Arwen 37

The ARWEN 37 grenade launcher is available to the player. It can use a variety of shells, but has poor range.
