Silent Hill: Origins, known as Silent Hill: Zero in Japan, is the fifth installment in the Silent Hill survival horror series. It is a prequel to the original Silent Hill game.
It was developed by Climax Studios and published by Konami. It debuted on PlayStation Portable in November 2007, with a port to the PlayStation 2 released in March 2008.
Set seven years prior to the events of Silent Hill, Origins expands the backstory on which the series built itself. Travis Grady, a trucker who suffers from visions that are somehow familiar to him, is running late for a delivery one night. He decides to make up for lost time by taking a detour. On the outskirts of Silent Hill, a cloaked figure darts into the road in front of him; Travis slams on the brakes and exits his truck to check on their condition. Outside his truck, Travis sees a brown-haired girl in a blue uniform, who he chases into the mysterious town.
The following weapons appear in the 2007 video game Silent Hill: Origins:
Target Pitsol
The Target Pistol is capable of firing up to 6 .22 caliber bullets before needing to reload. It's based on a High Standard HDM .22 Pistol.
Service Pistol
The Service Pistol is a medium caliber US Army surplus gun. It is capable of firing up to eight 9mm bullets before needing to reload. It resembles a Nickel Plated Colt M1911A1 with brown plastic grips but is apparently chambered for 9mm ammunition rather than .45 ACP.
Revolver
The Redeemer is a revolver capable of firing up to six .44 Magnum cartridges before needing to reload. The weapon appears to be based on a Smith & Wesson M29-3 .44 Magnum revolver with a nickel finish and an 8-inch barrel.
Shotgun
The shotgun in Silent Hill: Origins differs from previous shotguns in the series in that it is double-barreled and break-action. The shotgun is deadly at close range and can down numerous enemies in one shot, but, compared to previous games in the series, it has the smallest capacity of any firearm, limited to just two shells. The Shotgun appears to be based on a 12-gauge Remington SPR210 shotgun.
Travis is seen holding a shotgun in the cutscene before the final boss fight, though it has a different model to the one used in-game, resembling a 12-gauge Winchester Model 1897 Riot Gun pump-action shotgun.
Hunting Rifle
The Hunting Rifle shoots .38 caliber rounds and resembles the Winchester Model 52.
Assault Rifle
The weapon fires 7.62 millimeter rounds in rapid succession. It resembles a Norinco Type 56 Standard. This is a blatant anachronism because civilian AK type rifles entered US market after 1982, and Origins is presumably set in 1976, although Travis reflects the rifle is indeed an imitation from the Communist bloc.
Tesla Rifle
The Tesla Rifle is an unlockable weapon, obtained only after the UFO Ending has been achieved. The weapon looks very futuristic and shoots unlimited electricity from its barrel instead of actual ammo. It serves a similar role to that of the Hyper Blaster from the first Silent Hill. It appears to be based on an M16A2 and an AR-15 Magpul MOE 6920.
