'''''Resident Evil 4''''' is a 2023 remake of the critically-acclaimed ''[[Resident Evil 4]]'' originally released in 2005. As with recent installments of the franchise, the 2023 remake runs under the technologically-advanced RE Engine, featuring significantly improved graphics over its original game as well as its HD remakes. Along with new visuals, much of the mechanics have been remade and the gameplay itself being modernized to the remake series standards starting with the [[Resident Evil 2 (2019)|''Resident Evil 2'' remake]].

The Trijicon 4x32 ACOG is featured as the "Scope". It is obtained for free if the player buys the [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle which comes with the scope at Chapter 2, if it is skipped, then it is available separately for 4000 pesetas in Chapter 3 onwards. It is also available in Chapter 1 of Separate Ways, along with the M1903A4. It is incorrectly depicted as a two-stage magnification scope.

==Heckler & Koch USP9==

Interestingly, the developers took care to model the bolt in the bolt carrier of the Benelli M3. I got a good shot of it in this elevator sequence when I was out of ammo for it.
Replacing the hybridized "Silver Ghost" pistol in the original game, Leon starts with a custom-tailored two-tone "SG-09 R", based out of the Heckler & Koch USP9 (which in-universe, the pistol's basic design is based on the "MUP" handgun of the previous remakes, which too is also based on a USP9). It initially and incorrectly holds 10 handgun rounds in the magazine when not upgraded, though the level 3 capacity upgrade gives it 14 rounds, one round shy of the actual 15 in real life. This can be upgraded up to 18 rounds when fully upgraded. It doesn't come with its laser sight by default, unlike the original pistol, but it can be fitted with one if the player buys the laser sight upgrade from the Merchant. As with the VP70M in the [[Resident Evil 2 (2019)|''Resident Evil 2'' remake]], the USP9 is Leon's "canon" cutscene sidearm, as he always brandishes this pistol regardless of having it in his attache case or stored in the typewriter storage. The cutscene pistol will also not have its laser sight attached.

"SG" in its designation likely refers to "Silver Ghost", the original weapon it was based out of, while "-09" likely refers to its caliber, 9mm. As before, the pistol's exclusive perk upgrade allows the pistol to have a 5x critical shot rate.

==SIG-P226 E2==
 
The "Sentinel Nine" appears as one of the exclusive Deluxe or Collector's edition weapons, based on the SIG-Sauer P226 E2 that Leon used in ''[[Resident Evil: Vendetta]]'' under the same name. This marks it as its first usable appearance by the player in the game series. While it has slightly lower damage than the default USP9 Leon starts with, it boasts the highest capacity of any handgun in the game (not including the VP70M's exclusive double ammo upgrade), at 31 when fully upgraded. It initially holds 19 rounds to start with, and it has a faster fire rate than the USP9 to boot, although it is slightly superseded by the Springfield Armory XD when the latter is fully upgraded. Like the USP9, its exclusive perk upgrade allows 5x critical shot rate, and it can be attached with a laser sight.

==FN Five-seveN==
 
The FN Five-seveN returns as the "Punisher", along with its exaggerated piercing capabilities. The pistol can only be bought from the Merchant, but instead of pesetas, he sells the weapon in rare Spinels. Once again, the Five-seveN in-game uses standard handgun rounds shared by other pistols, which is 9mm in this game. It holds an underloaded 12 rounds by default, though the level 4 capacity upgrade increases it to 21 rounds, one round over the maximum capacity of the real deal. Like the USP9, the Five-seveN can be upgraded with an underbarrel laser sight. Instead of the all-black finish of the original weapon, the pistol is based on the FDE variant.

==Mauser C96 "Red 9"==
 
The iconic C96 "Red9" also returns, and it can now be found for free in Chapter 4, though if the player misses the firearm there, it can alternatively be bought by the Merchant with pesetas. As before, it can be fitted with a stock to improve accuracy and recoil. It initially holds 8 rounds in capacity, though the level 2 ammo capacity upgrade allows it to correctly hold 10 rounds, which can be potentially increased further up to 16. An iconic pistol from returning veterans and new players alike, the Red9's best known for its raw damage per shot, with it exclusive perk upgrade having 1.5x firepower.

The "Blacktail" also makes its return.
 
 
 
==Heckler & Koch VP70M==
 
The [[Heckler_%26_Koch_VP70|H&K VP70M]] makes its appearance once again as the "Matilda". Unlike its original incarnation, it is not a post-game weapon, it can be obtained by spending 10 Spinels from the Merchant. Once again, the VP70M can be fitted with a stock, which allows it to fire in bursts. Correctly, the slide does not lock back on the last shot; however, the empty reload animation incorrectly depicts Leon reloading the pistol without racking the slide, unlike other pistols.

==Smith & Wesson Schofield==
 
The "Broken Butterfly" returns once more, this time being more accurately based on a [[Smith & Wesson Schofield]] than a hybrid of the former and the [[Colt Single Action Army]]. It is the quintessential magnum handgun, which can be bought much later in the game compared to the original version, available in chapter 7 for pesetas. It initially holds 6 rounds in the cylinder, though it can hold up to an impossible 10 rounds through upgrades and Capcom-patented magic. Its exclusive upgrade perk increases the firepower by 1.5x.

The "Killer7" returns once more, but instead of a Colt 1911, it returns as the AMT Hardballer, equipped with a laser sight that is obviously a reference to The Terminator.

==Remington 870==
 
As before, Leon acquires the [[Remington 870]] as his first shotgun obtained in the Ganado Village. Instead of the Express Combo in the original game, its model was based on the fully upgraded variant in the [[Resident Evil 2 (2019)|''Resident Evil 2'' remake]]. It holds at a paltry five shells when first obtained, despite it visibly having an extended tube magazine on the model. It can be upgraded to the correct 8 with the level 4 ammo upgrade and up to 10 on its max ammo upgrade.

==Winchester Model 1887==
 
The "Skull Shaker" appears, only exclusive to the owners of the game's Deluxe or Collector's edition. The shotgun is based on the [[Winchester Model 1887]], more specifically, the famous cut-down variant first seen in ''[[Terminator 2]]'', along with a enlarged lever loop and flip-cocking action. Unlike the other shotguns, the custom Model 1887 is an extremely compact weapon, beating out the Striker-12. However, it can hold a paltry ''two'' shells in the magazine tube when not upgraded, though it can be reloaded and expended fairly quickly (in fact, all shells are loaded at once). It can be upgraded up to six shells with a maxed out ammo capacity upgrade, though the correct five shell capacity is possible.
 
 
 
Its presence in the game is likely a callback to Jill's [[Winchester Model 1892#"Mare's Leg"|Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg"]] in the original ''[[Resident Evil 3: Nemesis|Resident Evil 3]]'', where in the weapon functions as a fast-firing lever-action shotgun. It even has similar gameplay properties to it, especially when the Model 1887 is maxed out.

==Benelli M3 Super 90==
 
The "Riot Gun" returns, though its model was taken from the RE3 Remake.
 
 
 
[[File:M3S90OldStyle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Benelli M3 Super 90 - 12 gauge]]

==Penn Arms Striker-12==
 
"Striker", big spread, lots of hulla.
 
 
 
=Submachine Guns=
 
==Steyr TMP==
 
The [[Steyr TMP]] returns as well, under the "TMP" name as before.
 
 
 
==Heckler & Koch MP5A5==
 
Unlike the original game, the HK [[MP5A5]] makes an appearance as the "LE 5", being an alternative to the TMP which can be first obtained for free by solving a puzzle in Chapter 13. It is an altered version of the MP5A3 of the [[Resident Evil 2 (2019)|''Resident Evil 2'' remake]], with a Navy 3-round burst trigger group (thus, identifying it as an A5, with its extending stock) and the deletion of the checkering texture seen in the original "slimline" MP5 variants and its original optic; though other optics can be attached to the weapon for better accuracy.
 
 
 
Compared to the TMP, the MP5 has penetration power, like the FN Five-seveN (with its exclusive upgrade having 5x penetration power; again, just like the Five-seveN), at the cost of raw power and reload time. It holds 20 rounds in the magazine when not upgraded, though it can hold 30 with the level 2 capacity upgrade, all the way to 60 when maxed out. The MP5A5 is chambered in 9mm Parabellum (as it shares ammunition to the aforementioned TMP, with the SMG ammo box explicitly mentioning this), unlike the ''Resident Evil 2'' remake where it is oddly chambered in .380 ACP.

[[File:RE4R_LE5_2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]
 
  
==M1A1 Thompson==
 
The Thompson "Chicago Typewriter" makes its appearance once again, now under the name "Chicago Sweeper". As the Separate Ways side-story isn't included in the remake of the game's release, the Thompson can be unlocked instead by completing the game in the Professional difficulty with an A rank. As before, the Thompson is depicted as the GI M1A1 variant, with a stick magazine, side-charging handle and streamlined, but winged sights.
 
  
Unlike the original version of the weapon, the Thompson does not come with its infinite ammunition by default, as this property is now an exclusive perk upgrade; which means the Thompson incorrectly uses 9mm submachine gun rounds until the exclusive upgrade is obtained. Despite using stick magazines, these hold 50 rounds in the magazine in-game, which is the capacity used in the 50-round Thompson drum magazines for the 1921 and 1928 variants. This can be upgraded into an absurd 70 rounds when fully upgraded. Obtaining the infinite ammunition upgrade changes the stick magazine into the aforementioned drum magazine, which makes the magazine model no longer tied to Leon's current costume; though the "reload" animation when using the Mafia (now known as Pinstripe) costume remains.
+
===Leon's pistol shooting stances===
  
[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Thompson - .45 ACP]]
+
When aiming with a pistol, Leon will brace the pistol closer to his body if an enemy is too close to him. This might suggest that among his training, Leon was taught to use the center axis relock shooting technique in close-quarters situations.

==Springfield M1903A4==
 
Now known as the "SR M1903" instead of the generic "Rifle" designation, the [[M1903 Springfield#M1903A4 Springfield Sniper Rifle|Springfield M1903A4]] rifle can be obtained relatively early in the game.

==Colt Model 933==
 
Coming from the [[Resident Evil 3 (2020 VG)|''Resident Evil 3'' remake]], the [[Colt Model 933]] returns as the "CQBR Assault Rifle". Its designation "CQBR" as well its configuration (that being the KAC rail and the A2 standalone sights), aren't anachronistic this time, as they have been in service as per the game's setting - 2005. It is first obtainable for free in Chapter 10, once the player completes certain requirements. If not obtained there, it can be purchased from the Merchant starting from Chapter 11, with a limited-time discount all throughout the aforementioned chapter.
 
 
 
The Model 933 is considered as an expensive, fast-firing rifle option compared to the latter two rifles (which, as a result, has less firepower compared to them), best at single-target damage per second output against tougher enemies and bosses. It holds at an underloaded 20 rounds inside the 30 STANAG magazine when not upgraded, up to a still incorrect 32 (sharing the capacity as with the counterpart in the ''Resident Evil 3'' remake) when maxed out. Its exclusive upgrade increases firepower by 1.5x.

=Machine Guns=
 
 
 
=Launchers=
 
 
 
==RPG-7==
 
The [[RPG-7]] once again serves as the main rocket launcher throughout the game, featuring the same role as with the original iteration, along with its use of some of the Ganados in the later parts of the storyline. This time, the RPG-7 in the remake does not feature any sort of scope in all of its variants.
 
 
 
Interestingly, during the final boss fight, the player cannot use any other weapon nor switch to other weapons once the special variant of the RPG-7 is dropped specifically to finish the boss, meaning it is no longer possible that the player can sell the Special Rocket Launcher for extra money during a NG+ playthrough. The regular/infinite rocket launcher can be used to finish the aforementioned boss off, but the Special Rocket Launcher will not be dropped.

=Other=
 
=="Bolt Thrower"==
 
Replacing the original "Mine Thrower" fictional arm gun in the original game, a modernized crossbow sorts of weapon known as the "Bolt Thrower" makes its appearance. This weapon can be purchased with ten thousand pesetas starting from Chapter 2. As its name implies, the "Bolt Thrower" fires craftable bolt projectiles which can be retrieved after the projectile hits. Leon can attach the bolts with explosive mines, which detonate when an enemy is in its proximity or after a few seconds once it has been struck to the enemy.
 
 
 
Stealthy but slow-firing (especially not upgraded), the Bolt Thrower greatly benefits from exploration sections in the game, conserving ammunition for other weapons when they will be needed for the high combat sections later on.
 
 
 
=Grenades=
 
==M26 Hand Grenade==
 
The [[M26 hand grenade]] returns from the previous remakes, this time as the "Heavy Grenade". This grenade functions as an upgraded version of the M67 "Hand Grenade" below, having more demolition power with a larger blast radius.

==M67 Fragmentation Grenade==
 
The [[M67 Hand Grenade]] makes its appearance (with the model likely taken from ''[[Resident Evil: Village]]''), simply known as the "Hand Grenade", which replaces the original function of the M26 grenades in the previous remakes.

The [[M84 stun grenade]] once again makes its return from the recent remakes, known as the "Flash Grenade".
