Despite its armour-piercing performance in-game, it does not stop Gabe from recovering completely intact armour pickups.

Launchers
Tru Flite 37mm Super Long Range Gas Gun
The weapon called the "M79" in-game is actually a Tru Flite 37mm Super Long Range Gas Gun incorrectly shown as able to launch high-explosive grenades.

In circumstances when the weapon is player-controlled, it is hidden very well in certain places.

M7 CS gas grenade
A grenade containing Soman nerve gas (a chemical similar to but more toxic than Sarin, also known as GD) can be found in stealth missions. It appears to essentially be a truncated M7 CS gas grenade. It is integral to taking enemies down without sounding the alarm. The weapon is also required to kill Rhoemer.
M67 Hand Grenade
The standard grenade which can be found in most missions: it explodes 3 seconds after throwing it.
Miscellaneous
Flamethrower
In perhaps one of the most memorable scenes of gaming, Anton Girdeaux brandishes a fire whip during the fight against Gabe in Freedom Memorial. Since he is unable to use explosives against the heavily armoured pyromaniac (to avoid setting off a bomb), Gabe instead decides to give the French a taste of his own medicine by shooting the fuel tanks.
Taser
A general-purpose, non-descript taser is a starting weapon in every mission. The signature weapon of the series, it was possible to set enemies alight if sustained stunning was used. This convention carried over to most games in the franchise, but it was not possible to cause targets to be set aflame in certain circumstances. In the PS2 and Vita versions of Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror, you can't burn enemies with the Taser but in the PSP version, you can. In Syphon Filter: Logan's Shadow, you can't burn enemies with it.
