Tomb Raider II Official Box Art Release Date: 1997 Developer: CORE Design Publisher: EIDOS Series: Tomb Raider Platforms: Playstation PC Genre: Action-adventure

Tomb Raider II is a British videogame developed by now-defunct CORE Design and published by EIDOS (Now part of Square Enix), released on PC and PlayStation in 1997. The 2nd instalment in the Tomb Raider series follows British Archaeologist and Explorer Lara Croft as she travels the world to find the ancient Dagger of Xian which when plunged into the heart by the user turns them into a dragon.

Handguns

Browning Hi-Power

A pair of nickel plated Browning Hi-Power pistols serve as Lara's main weapons, with unlimited ammo and, like most of the weapons she uses on the game, an infinite magazine size. Not particularly powerful, they are undoubtedly chambered in the standard 9x19mm rounds, since official advertisements for the game describe a "pair of 9mms as [Lara's] passport". At the time, the Browning Hi-Power was the standard-issue pistol of the British Army, which suggests Lara may have used this pistol for the patriotic touch. Higher detailed models that show the Hi-Power's unique slide design and slide release are seen in art work for the game.

Intratec TEC-22

The weapons model wise are based on the Intratec TEC-22 called "Automatic Pistols" in-game, they are dual wielded pistols that are more powerful than the infinitely firing Browning Hi-Powers that Lara has. Like the TEC-22, the magazines load into the pistols in front of the trigger guards.

Submachine Guns

Ingram MAC-10

Incorrectly referred to as "Uzis" in-game, a pair of MAC-10s can be dual-wielded by Lara. Chambered in 9x19mm, these have the same power per shot as the Browning Hi-Power pistols, but are far more effective due to their increased rate of fire.

Shotguns

Shotgun

A pistol gripped pump-action shotgun that can't be dual wielded and must be fired while standing still. It seems to not be base on any particular pump-action shotgun.

Assault Rifles

Colt M16

The M16 is the most powerful gun in the game which Lara can't dual wield and must fire while standing still.

The original M16, the first version, firing in a 20-round magazine, adopted in large numbers by the U.S. Air Force in Vietnam. This has the original 3-prong flash hider. It would later be replaced by the upgraded M16A1 - 5.56x45mm

Other

Grenade Launcher

Lara's grenade launcher doesn't appear to be based off of any real life model in particular. However, it appears to be single shot like the M79 because of it's gameplay animation.

Harpoon Gun

Lara's Harpoon gun in the game appears to have a very large air tank. It is also the only gun on the game that requires reloading, once every 4 shots.
