Resident Evil 3 is the 2020 remake of the 1998 video game Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. The game uses the same engine as the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake. It includes an asymmetric 1v4 multiplayer component known as Resident Evil Resistance, where a team of four survivors must work together to escape while a Mastermind constantly deploys zombies and other BOWs to hinder their progress.
WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS!
Overview
Similar to the Resident Evil 2 remake, the game features a host of weapons with varying levels of modularity, which are stored in the same grid-based inventory. As before, many of these weapons can be modified with attachments found in the world, which augments their performance at the cost of increasing their inventory footprint, though the specific mods that expands a firearm's profile can still be removed. Certain mod items can only be acquired by incapacitating the Nemesis when he appears, similar to the system implemented in the original Resident Evil 3: Nemesis. After obtaining every possible item from him, incapacitating the Nemesis further will only drop ammo.
Gunplay is largely the same across the board as the Resident Evil 2 remake, but with much more freedom, as ammunition is now more abundant and enemies are far less resilient. The player's knife is also unbreakable, but it along with grenades can no longer be used to quickly shake out of an enemy's grasp, as sub-weapons are no longer a thing. Also gone are the enhanced ammo types, namely those for the Samurai Edge and shotgun, so the only way to increase weapon damage is via specific mods.
Certain weapons that appeared in the original do not return in the remake, having either been replaced (Desert Eagle vs. Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic), combined into one (Glock 19 vs. Samurai Edge and STI Eagle 6.0), or are just absent entirely (e.g. Mare's Leg, Minigun).
Pistols
Baikal 442
Nicholai uses a Baikal 442, a commercial version of the Makarov PM, as his sidearm. As it is the same model from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, it has an M1911 cocking hammer. Mikhail may also have one, but it's never shown clearly.

Jonathan Pryce all the time.
Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS appears in early promotional materials of Resistance, but seems to have been cut from the final release.
Jill stares at a movie poster for the upcoming
Resident Evil 3, irked at the director's bad choice of sidearm for the heroine but noting the costume designer's fantastic fashion sense. The poster next to it is a Megaman reference. Note that the RE3 poster doesn't show up in the full game.
Survivor Valerie Harmon aims her Beretta at Mr. X. While it may seem like part of the slide is oddly discolored, this appears to simply be a product of oddly-angled lighting on the slide serrations.
Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"
The customized Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge" briefly returns as Jill's sidearm in the beginning of the game, where she quickly loses it when Nemesis smashed his way into her room. Its role is replaced by the Glock 19 from then on. It can be unlocked for use after beating the game, and boasts slightly superior stats to the Glock 19, at the cost of not having any mods.

Resident Evil video game series.

RE2 remake. Not that Jill ever canonically used that version, anyhow.

worst kind, before it is knocked out of her hands and lost forever.
Browning Hi-Power Mark III
RPD lieutenant Marving Branagh is seen with his Browning Hi-Power Mark III when Tyrell and Carlos see him engage a zombified Brad Vickers. Shortly after, Carlos spies two RPD officers engaging a Licker with Hi-Powers, but it goes pretty badly for them. It is not usable in the game.

RE2 remake will likely remember them.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX
The Desert Eagle Mark XIX from RE2 returns, but with the slightly tweaked name "Lightning Hawk .44 AE", suggesting the use of a fictional .44 AE cartridge. It's unclear what influenced this caliber change, seeing as it's simply reusing the same Lightning Hawk model from the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, and the ammo description for both guns contradict each other on whether which is the most powerful caliber for commercial handguns on the market.
It is normally only available to Jill, as the case it's located in can only be reached by crawling under a pile of debris in the hospital. It is ostensibly included as a stand-in for the Smith & Wesson Model 629 Classic from the original game, which didn't return in the remake, in order to fill its magnum niche.
The long barrel mod returns once again, but the reflex sight from the previous title doesn't.

Resident Evil 2 (2019).
Inventory preview of the ".44 AE Lightning Hawk". For whatever reason, the Lightning Hawk has been rechambered to using an entirely fictional caliber, as .44 Action Express doesn't exist. It's supposed to be a .44
Magnum model instead, judging by the caliber claim on the magnum ammo boxes, but if so then the barrel still lacks the proper fluting.
Having been blessed with the Deagle's early appearance on Nightmare mode, Jill decides to take it out for a spin.
Realizing she forgot the Red Jewel somewhere and permanently shafted herself out of an inventory upgrade, Jill sticks up the puzzle cabinet with her magnum in hopes of scaring it into submission.
Her shots having done bugger-all to persuade it, she reloads her Lightning Hawk.

RE2 remake, slapping on the extended barrel doesn't increase the Lightning Hawk's inventory footprint.
A few days and a couple hundred zombies later, Jill finds herself with an even bigger handcannon.

Glock 18
The Glock 18 appears in the game as the standard issue sidearm of the Umbrella Biohazard Countermeasure Service, being used by Carlos Oliveira in lieu of the anachronistic SIG Pro SP2009 that he used in the original game.
By default, the G18 is only available to Carlos. After the hospital defense, Jill can find a different model with an extended mag that can fire in an incorrect three-round burst. Neither pistol has any mods, even though the Glock 19's red dot sight should technically be compatible.
Glock 18 (2nd Generation) with protruding compensated barrel - 9x19mm Parabellum
Inventory preview of the "G18 Handgun". According to the flavor text, the Glock 18 is capable of an unrealistic 3-round-burst operation. Also of note is the conversion done to reduce it back to a semi-automatic; it isn't clear why the UBCS couldn't just give their men
Glock 17s instead, since that's essentially what a semi-auto-only Glock 18 is, minus the added cost of making the conversion.

Glock 19
After the tragic loss of her sidearm, Jill salvages a Glock 19 from the body of a dead RPD officer (which is strange, considering the RPD's standard duty pistol is the Browning Hi-Power) and uses it for the rest of the game as her main sidearm. It's also the only gun used by Jill in the majority of the game's cutscenes. It appears to be a 2nd Generation Glock 19 fitted with lower profile Glock sights.
The default magazine capacity is a correct 15 rounds and it is referred to as "G19 Handgun". It can be modified with a C-More Serendipity red dot sight, an extended magazine, and a (fake) suppressor, the latter two of which can only be obtained from Nemesis via the supply crates he drops when incapacitated.
It's purpose seems to be a composite of the Samurai Edge and the STI Eagle 6.0 from the original RE3, filling both the roles of Jill's main sidearm, as well as a compact powerhouse of a pistol that's formed by collecting parts dropped by Nemesis when he's defeated.

The "G19 Handgun" with every mod attached. The cylindrical thing in front of its muzzle is not an actual suppressor, and does nothing to dampen your gunshots, not that you'd need it considering the decided lack of stealth elements. It also increases the G19's inventory size to two blocks, while the extended magazine oddly doesn't. Speaking of which, the magazine mod seems to be having an identity crisis, as it can't settle on whether it wants to be a mag or a clip.

With the Serendipity sight attached, the reticle is replaced by this giant red dot that also eliminates the need for focus aiming.
Jill reloads her G19. Like any other pistol, the slide stop ceases to function once the magazine is fully inserted if reloaded from empty.
Jill briefly checking the magazine on her recently procured Glock. In a show of realism, the gun is shown to have been used extensively by its previous owner before he expired, as there's only 5 rounds left in the magazine upon being obtained

Heckler & Koch USP
The Heckler & Koch USP returns as the "MUP" from RE2 Remake's 4th Survivor. Though it seems to do less damage per shot than other pistols, it appears to compensate with a higher chance of critical hits. It can be purchased from the post-game shop and has unlimited reserve ammunition. The MUP doesn't have any mods.

Resident Evil 2 remake, but without the finite ammunition.

Shotguns
Benelli M3 Super 90
The Benelli M3 Super 90 appears in the game as the "M3". The weapon is found in the subway control station, where it is locked behind a gun locker that requires bolt cutters to get into.
Found with a traditional stock textured as if it were made of wood, it can be modified with the pistol grip and collapsible stock of the M4 (though this component was not included in the March 19th demo), the latter setup likely being modeled after an airsoft version of the M3 produced by CYMA. It holds 4 shells by default and can be increased to 6 by installing the "Semi-auto barrel" upgrade, which is actually a magazine tube extender and as the mod describes: removes the need to pump the weapon per shot, although it's not entirely sure why one needs to fit an entire conversion kit on to achieve this last purpose, considering how the M3 is a dual-mode shotgun by design.

A pre-release image Jill on crowd control duty with the M3. Note the S.O.L.A.G. gloves which are anachronistic as they were introduced in 2001 in reality.
Benelli M4 Super 90
Fitting the M3 with the Semi-Auto Barrel transforms it into a Benelli M4 Super 90, albeit with the M3's sights still retained. The upgrade also increases the tube capacity to 6, which doesn't exist for any model of the M4 in reality, though this can be replicated by having one shell chambered on top of a full 5-round civilian mag, which could have been the case, if Jill did not rack the charging handle after every reload.
Benelli M4 Tactical with black synthetic fixed stock - 12 gauge
Adding both the Tactical Stock and Semi-Auto Barrel produces a close approximation of the Benelli M4/M1014, or XM1014 to be accurate, considering how it wasn't formally adopted until 1999.
Benelli M4 Super 90 with 5-shot tube - 12 gauge
The "M3 Shotgun" fully upgraded. The Semi-Auto Barrel mod also increases the shotgun's inventory footprint to 2 blocks, despite the barrel lengths remaining more or less the same. Not listed is the mag tube expansion, as the Semi-auto Barrel increases the M3's capacity to 6 shells. The four added shells on the side-mounted rack sadly do not affect the player's ammo stock, their presence speeding up reloads instead.
Having upgraded her shotgun, Jill once again takes aim at the doors. It's quite unclear why one has to find a completely separate conversion kit to make the gun semi-automatic, since the M3 Super 90 is a dual-mode shotgun by design. Fun fact: the semi-auto conversion kit is found in the exact same location inside Kendo's Gun Shop as the Remington 870's Long Barrel mod in the remake of
Resident Evil 2.
After some testing, Jill reloads her quasi-M1014; with the semi-auto upgrade, she racks the charging handle instead of the now-static forend. Great trigger discipline, by the way.
Remington 870
A Remington 870 appears in the game in the hands of Robert Kendo and usable in Resistance. It is not available to either Jill or Carlos in the main game, its role having been replaced by the M3 Super 90 instead.

Assault Rifles
Colt Model 933
Replacing the M4A1 from the original game, the Colt Model 933 now appears as the standard weapon of the UBCS under the name "CQBR Assault Rifle", being used by Carlos Oliveira and others. Its name suggests that the weapon is supposed to be a Mk 18 Mod 0 CQBR, though the barrel is too long for it to actually be one. It is equipped with a Knight's Armament RAS with a Knight's Armament vertical grip, and standalone A2 rear iron sights. Some of these components are mildly anachronistic; while the KAC rail adapter system (and possibly foregrip) was available since 1997, standalone A2 rear sights weren't around in the 90s (although not 100% impossible, as you can improvise one by sawing one off from a detachable carry-handle).
Carlos's rifle can be modded with an Aimpoint M68 style red dot sight like in the original, 2 mags clamped together, and an aftermarket grip, which can be obtained within the game.
Unlike the M4 in the original game which had its ammunition tracked as a percentage, the 933's magazine holds an incorrect 32 rounds, which appears to be a holdover from the .380-chambered MP5s from RE2.
Like the M4A1 in Nemesis, if playing on Assisted difficulty, Jill will begin the game with one in her inventory. Despite both rifles being identical, unlike Carlos', the player can't find attachments for Jill's CQBR, even those in shared areas like the hospital, as they will despawn when the character perspective changes.

Inventory preview of the "Infinite CQBR Assault Rifle". For some reason, this variant has tan furniture instead of black, and is actually not compatible with the mods you can find for the ordinary CQBR.
The "CQBR Assault Rifle" with all mods. Note the dual mags setup. The UBCS seems to have developed some manner of quantum tunneling technology in the remake, as the second magazine in the combo is somehow treated as an extension of the one loaded into the rifle, resulting in a doubled mag capacity. As such, the second mag is never used and the CQBR's reload time remains unchanged.
Carlos with the CQBR in hand, infinitely pondering if he should go outside and silence the zombies banging on the door.
Taking aim at the door. Unlike the G19, fitting the reflex sight onto the CQBR superimposes a giant reticle on the screen when aiming instead of just a dot.
Without the reflex, aiming the CQBR instead produces this simplistic crosshair. This is the Infinite variant, as indicated by the tan furniture.
Carlos reloads his CQBR. Unlike with pistols, the CQBR has no separate animations for tactical and dry reloads. As such, Carlos (and Jill, if playing on Assisted) will always smack the bolt release upon loading in a new mag. Upon closer inspection, he seems to be hitting a bit too high up the receiver, and with his palm wide open, no less. If the dual mag attachment is present, then the player character's hand will clip right through it as well.
Launchers
M202A1 FLASH
Carlos uses an M202A1 FLASH when he rescues Jill from Nemesis. His first shot is deflected by Nemesis and destroys an innocent police car that was just minding its own business, while the second one hits and disables the monster. Afterwards, Carlos discards the launcher and it's never seen again, despite only having spent two of its rockets.

Carlos discards the launcher.
M32A1
Replacing the fictional "Hk-P" break-top grenade launcher from the original game, Jill can find an M32A1 grenade launcher in the game. The weapon is called the "MGL Grenade Launcher", which is redundant as "MGL" already stands for "Multiple Grenade Launcher", so the gun's full name becomes "Multiple Grenade Launcher Grenade Launcher". The weapon is found in a secret lab in the city sewers, where it was procured by a rogue Umbrella scientist attempting to further his discontinued research on Hunter Gammas,
Grenade rounds available in RE3 include explosive rounds, acid rounds, incendiary rounds, and proximity mine rounds (therefore allowing the MGL to also take the place of the original game's Mine Thrower).
The M32A1 is anachronistic to the setting, as it wouldn't be developed until 2014. It also isn't semi-automatic in-game, requiring the user to manually rotate the cylinder per shot. These inconsistencies are explained in a file, where Robert Kendo mentions that this is a refurbished model that does not work as the mil-spec variant, so we can make an educated guess that this is an original South African MGL that Kendo turned into a M32A1 look-alike, 15 years before the creation of the actual gun.
During the trailers, Jill uses a tan-colored M32A1, similar to it's real world military-issued counterpart. The final model however, appears to be based on an airsoft replica called the "ICS-190", made by ICS Airsoft.

Inventory preview of the "MGL Grenade Launcher". Apparently no one has clued Capcom in that the "GL" part already meant "grenade launcher". Also note the claim of semi-automatic operation, which is accurate to the real Milkor, but demonstrably wrong in-game once Jill actually starts using it.
Jill sticking up the hospital doors with her MGL. Unlike the real deal, the MGL has no minimum arming range, and self-damage from firing too closely to oneself is a real risk.
Fortunately, the exploding grenades have a much more neutered blast radius compared to similar weapons in the series. Here we see Jill working the cylinder, despite the Milkor's being spring-driven.
Having spent a few grenades at absolutely nothing, Jill reloads the MGL. Instead of just replacing the rounds that were spent, Jill is adamant in replacing every grenade in the weapon every time it is reloaded. Despite this, the entire process is surprisingly short.
Distracted with his new flamethrower, the Nemesis is visibly surprised with Jill whipping out an M32A1 to counter his heavy weapon. We don't know if he's surprised because she stowed a grenade launcher somewhere in that outfit, or that she's using a weapon that wouldn't be made for another 15 years.
Jill aims the M32A1 at Nemesis. She will use it in this cutscene even if the weapon isn't in her inventory.
Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4
The Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4 returns from the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, still bearing unlimited ammunition, but must now be purchased from the post-game shop instead of simply unlocked. It is referred to by the series' more traditional name of "Infinite Rocket Launcher".
M136 AT4 Anti-Tank recoilless launcher - 84mm
Inventory preview of the "Infinite Rocket Launcher". The description is slightly less wrong compared to its previous appearance: the AT-4 is
not a rocket launcher despite popular belief. The projectile itself lacks a rocket motor, therefore the weapon is technically a recoilless rifle.

Just before the final showdown, Jill contemplates on whether or not the endgame boss in this
Resident Evil title would be vulnerable to a finishing blow from her launcher (bad news for her, it's not).

Fictional Weapons
"FINGeR"
Replacing the Demon Sword of Paraclesus from the original game, Jill uses the "Ferromagnetic Infantry-use Next Generation Railgun", or "FINGeR" as it's amusingly shortened (the instruction file even makes jokes about giving unruly BOWs "the finger"), to destroy the Nemesis once and for all.

Having successfully fucked Umbrella's shit up once and for all (and put holes through several walls in the process), Jill abandons the FINGeR.
"Rai-Den"
The Rai-Den is an extra weapon that can be unlocked by purchasing it in the post-game Bonus shop. It has infinite ammo, and shoots bolts of electricity much like RE2's "Sparkshot". The Rai-Den does great damage to enemies when fired up close at their weak points, but requires a short charging period to reach maximum firepower, and its range is pretty much non-existent.
The Nemesis' Flamethrower
One of the Nemesis' new weapons is a custom-made flamethrower, which he uses during the confrontation in the construction site. Due to his superhuman strength and dexterity, he is able to wield it one-handed with deadly efficiency, in addition to a large fuel tank mounted behind him. He is able to use it traditionally by spraying continuous streams of fire, along with using it like a sort of "fire sword", using bursts of fire, along with the bulk of the weapon itself, to deal damage by swinging it around. It also has a bombardment function, where he aims the gun upward and shoots out explosive balls of napalm around his area.
The weapon has a brief cooldown period after repeated use where the Nemesis must allow the weapon to vent out heat, making him temporarily unable to use it and vulnerable. The weapon can be destroyed by shooting the fuel tank mounted behind him. Upon its destruction, he will resort to wielding it as a club, where despite it being disconnected from it's fuel source, will violently explode every time he strikes the floor with it.

The Nemesis raises his flamethrower as it cools down. This is evident by the glowing-hot rods to the side of the gun.
File:RE3RNemesisFTclb.jpg Slightly miffed but undeterred by the destruction of his weapon and his current, flaming predicament: the Nemesis saunters towards Jill with his IED club to give her a strongly-worded complaint about the destruction of his private property.
The Nemesis' Rocket Launcher
The Nemesis' rocket launcher has been given a facelift. Rather than looking like a custom Stinger missile launcher, this time it now looks like a weaponized Nintendo Super Scope. The launcher's bore size is noticeably smaller than the original, perhaps to better reflect it's role as a portable missile launcher, is painted olive drab rather than grey with blood spatters all over it, and now comes with an orange laser aiming module that turns red when he is about to fire.
He obtains the weapon near the end of the escape from the subway, and is still a self-loading launcher with no visible magazine to support his ability to fire multiple rockets in quick succession.
This time we're going to get that
Duck Hunt dog!
Okay, not the
Duck Hunt dog, but it'll do.
Still upset with Jill over the flamethrower incident, Nemesis breaks out the big guns. Unlike the original game, the missile launcher only appears in this brief gameplay sequence and is abandoned at some point since the next time Nemesis attacks Jill, it has mutated beyond its ability to use the weapon.
Grenades and Explosives
C4 Demolition Charges
C4 demolition charges are used at varying points in the game.
Demo charge inside the subway car. Not content with using mere grenades like his original counterpart did, Mikhail deploys an entire brick of C4 against Nemesis in this sequence, to arguably much better effect than last time.
Demo charge inside the Raccoon City police station. Much like Leon and Claire in RE2, Carlos must find a battery to power the detonator before it can be used.
The demo charge used to seal off the hospital from a wave of zombies. This one already came with a power source, so one doesn't need to find a battery for it.
M18A1 Claymore
Carlos Oliveira uses an M18A1 Claymore anti-personnel mine to ambush Nemesis, but as expected it does little more than temporarily slow the monster down. The Claymore is not a usable weapon in the game.

Metal Gear Solid games, the mine's blast radius is marked with lasers and it is depicted as having a motion-triggered detonation. Which conveniently ignores Carlos and Jill running past it.

Concept Weapons
Heckler & Koch MP5 with UMP Stock
A piece of unlockable concept art shows an Umbrella security guard with a Heckler & Koch MP5 with a UMP stock, as a nod to the UBCS' standard-issue firearm in the Umbrella Chronicles spin-off. Though it doesn't appear in the game proper, this configuration would be anachronistic since the UMP wasn't produced until 1999.

Lockheed P-38 Lightning Armament
A movie poster for a film titled Air Combat 1942 features a Lockheed P-38 Lightning. The P-38 carried one Hispano-Suiza HS.404 20mm cannon and four Browning M2 Aircraft machine guns.

Jill stares at the poster, lamenting that her advance ticket to see it will go wasted. The name and use of a P-38 is a reference to the Capcom air combat game
1942, while the poster design is based on that of the film
Top Gun. Also note that the center fuselage is from a T-6 Texan II rather than a P-38.
M203 Grenade Launcher
A movie poster for a film titled Wolf of the Battlefield shows the hero holding a deformed AR-15-style assault rifle with an M203 grenade launcher mounted on it.
M203 grenade launcher - 40x46mm.
Jill stares at the poster, thinking about how useful an assault rifle with an M203 would be to her right about now. Much like the above
Air Combat 1942, this is a reference to another Capcom game, 1985's
Commando (unrelated to the
1985 film starring
Arnold Schwarzenegger) which was originally released in Japan under the name
Wolf of the Battlefield.
M1911
An M1911 style pistol appears on a magazine cover in Jill's apartment. Jill can also be seen holding a 1911 style pistol in a few pieces of unlockable concept art.
World War II Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP. This was an issued U.S. Army pistol with parkerized finish, thus the official designation of M1911A1
Though hard to make out, the M1911 can be seen on the cover of the magazine on top of the pile.
Space Rifle
A movie poster shows a man in a space suit armed with a bullpup rifle.
STARS Photo
A group photo of STARS' alpha and bravo teams is seen in the STARS office, displaying a number of weapons. In the intervening period between the events of RE2 and RE3, the photo was apparently moved from the STARS office (RE3) to the dark room (RE2) for some strange reason.
Among the guns seen are several
MP5A2s, a
Steyr AUG, a suppressed
Ingram MAC-10, a
Remington 870 shotgun, and an unidentified sniper rifle. RE lore trivia: As the photo was taken before Rebecca Chambers joined the team, she is not present. Additionally, the African-American officer on the far right, while thought by some to be an early version of RPD pilot Kevin Dooley, has never officially been identified by name.
Toy Guns
Toy guns are displayed in a window at a local toy store.
A pair of classic Super Soakers.
