Nice, but where's the trigger?

The House of the Dead: Overkill (2009)


AMS Magnum

The standard handgun used by almost everyone in the game is a barely-modified Desert Eagle Mark XIX. Washington has two of these in the games cut scenes, (however, Agent G is using two in the picture below) both of them in shoulder holsters. The gun seems to be based on the Desert Eagle but with some notable differences, such as the shape of the grip and the front end of the gun, which is at less of an angle then the Desert Eagle. The guns also have AMS Research Magnum written on the slide, which could be referencing the DE, and engraved is .44 Magnum on the side again referencing it to the DE.

In the Extended Cut, each character's AMS Magnum(s) are slightly different. Agent G's, the one used in normal gameplay, is given a redesigned Picatinny rail above the barrel and a second rail attached underneath. Washington's are given white (possibly pearl) grips with gold-plated hammers and safeties; this is an unlockable version of the weapon given the name "Gwendolyn".

Hand Cannon

Possibly based on the Taurus Raging Bull. Available to buy after you complete the main story mode once in the original game. This weapon can be upgraded to carry a maximum of 7 rounds, instead of the 5 it originally carried. There is also a Wii Remote adapter based on this weapon. In the Extended Cut version, the model is changed to a Colt Python customized similarly like Barry Burton's model in Resident Evil.

Beretta 92FS

Not used in game, but Agent G is seen holding one on one of the original game posters and the cover art.

Beretta 92FS - 9x19mm.

Benelli Nova Tactical Shotgun

Appears in the original game as the "Shotgun". Has a slow reload time and rate of fire, due to it being pump-action, but makes up for this in the damage it does.

Benelli Nova Tactical Shotgun 12 Gauge (Game version does not have a scope).

Remington 870

Seen on the same poster and cover art as the Beretta mentioned above, only being wielded by Washington. In the Extended Cut, this replaces the Benelli Nova as the "Shotgun".

Remington 870 Police Magnum Riot Shotgun - 12 gauge

Benelli M3 Super 90

Appears in the original game as the "Automatic Shotgun". Is by far one of the best weapons in the game, due to its immense damage rate, high rate of fire and quick reload time compared to the standard Shotgun.

Benelli M3 Super 90 with pistol grip stock combination - 12 gauge

SPAS-12

In the trailer for the Extended Cut version, a SPAS-12 is seen being pumped/reloaded. It has it's stock folded. It replaces the Benelli M3 in this version as the "Automatic Shotgun".

Franchi SPAS-12 - 12 Gauge

Steyr TMP

Called the "SMG" in game, the Steyr TMP has a nickel finish with black grips and can be purchased from the gun shop. Does relatively low damage, but the amount of bullets fired makes up for this.

Steyr TMP - 9x19mm

Minebea M-9

In the Extended Cut, the above TMP is replaced as the "SMG" with what appears to be Japanese Minebea M9, judging by the attached foregrip and overall blocky appearance.

Current model Minebea M-9 - 9x19mm

Heckler & Koch XM8

The Heckler & Koch XM8 appears as the "Assault Rifle" in the game. Does very good damage, fires in an inaccurate 3 round burst mode, and has a decent magazine capacity, and is very accurate. G and Washington are seen loading these up in the intro to the final level, "Overkill", and later use them in the cutscene before the final boss is battled.

Hand Held Minigun

Used against the final boss. Due to a "missing reel" prank, it is unknown where Agent G and Washington get these weapons from (they were apparently just lying around). G and ashington are also seen wielding them on the poster for the level "Overkill",with Agent G wielding his one-handed! Once the Director's Cut of the game has been beaten, this weapon becomes available for purchase. This weapon never has to be reloaded, but can overheat quickly, and is fairly inaccurate.

Airsoft handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in Terminator 2: Judgement Day. This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO
