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 (and then to modern generation consoles and PC) in 2002.
A slightly less updated version was released for the Nintendo DS in 2006 to commemorate the series' 10th Anniversary; titled Resident Evil: Deadly Silence (Resident Evil: DS), the game is graphically similar to the original, with only moderate control changes to reflect mechanics introduced in Resident Evil 3 and 4, and is otherwise identical to the original cut and there are no significant changes to firearms.
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" in-game). Chris Redfield somehow lost his gun as he Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, and Albert Wesker run from a pack of Cerberi which are infected dobermen. He picks up one after he started to investigate the Mansion and come back into the Main Hall only to find Jill and Wesker disappeared. Jill starts with her Beretta in her inventory.
Beretta 92FS Inox
In the "Director's Cut" edition, the Beretta 92FS Inox with wood grips can be used should the player choose the Advanced difficulty. As it is exclusive to the Director's Cut it does not appear in Deadly Silence.
Beretta 92FS "Non-Gun"
In the live-action intro sequence, the S.T.A.R.S. officers use Beretta 92F Non-Gun props.
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 already ludicrous damage even further.
Shotguns
Remington 870
The Remington 870 is the only shotgun available in-game. The weapon is hooked to a boobytrap, which causes the ceiling of the room to collapse when the shotgun is removed. In Chris's scenario, he must replace the shotgun with a broken one to prevent the trap from being triggered. In Jill's scenario, Barry will rescue Jill from the trap, prompting a running joke about "Jill Sandwiches" which persists throughout the series.
Other
Ingram MAC-10
In the PC version, beating the game with Jill under certain conditions unlocks a 9mm MAC-10 submachine gun.
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 modeled after the M240 from Aliens (sans M16 carry handle) is available ingame, but only for Chris; Leon Kennedy can acquire an identical one in another Umbrella lab in Resident Evil 2, suggesting the weapon is of Umbrella manufacture.
ARWEN 37
The ARWEN 37 grenade launcher is available to the player. It can use a variety of shells, but has poor range. It is the primary weapon of Bravo team member Forest Speyer. While a 37mm launcher is a reasonable weapon for a special police unit to carry, it makes somewhat less sense to be found in the cold, dead hands of the team's marksman. Barry gives the weapon to Jill a quarter of the way through the game, helpfully explaining that "It's a weapon. It's very effective, especially against living things!"
