Released in September 2018. The guns in this game have been deliberately redesigned to avoid copyright issues, and thus appear different to their real-life counterparts.
The following weapons appear in the video game Shadow of the Tomb Raider:
Handguns
M1911
An M1911 variant is called the "AB. 45" in-game (short for Altar Boy). It can have a flare and/or suppressor added to it.
Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle is imaginatively renamed the "River Hawk" and is the most powerful self-loading pistol in the game. Unlike a real Desert Eagle, the trigger guard is shaped differently, and there is no safety catch on the slide.
CZ-75
A Pistol based on the CZ-75 is called the "C&T S55" in game.
Luger P08
A Luger P08 with integrated suppressor is known as the "Silent Sting" in game. The name is likely an allusion to the 1962 environmental science book "Silent Spring" by Rachel Carson.
H&K USP Match
A staple of the Tomb Raider series since Angelina Jolie stepped into Lara's boots back in 2001, this pistol is available as a non-upgradeable DLC weapon called the "K&H KAP."
Smith & Wesson Model 29
The "J&D Model 27" is based on a S&W Model 29. Whilst it may no longer be the "most powerful handgun in the world," once fully upgraded, it is the most powerful handgun on this game.
Shotguns
Franchi SPAS-12
The Franchi SPAS-12 is called the "TAEV 16." It functions in semi-automatic mode, offering a balance between fire rate and shot power.
Daewoo USAS-12
The "WHWS-16" fully-automatic shotgun is based primarily off the Daewoo USAS-12, but it also borrows design elements from the aforementioned SIG 551, including the top picatinny rail from the 551-A1.
Mossberg 500AT
The Mossberg 500AT forms the basis for the "Bishop 600" pump-action shotgun. A golden version of this gun is available as a Square Enix social reward.
Remington SPR210
The "Sedgwick 707" double-barrel break-action shotgun most closely resembles a Remington SPR 210.
Submachine Guns
MAC-10
Known as the "NEP-14" in game. Despite being a submachine gun, this is placed in the handgun slot on the game. For game balance, it features a smaller magazine than the usual MAC 10, with a 20-round capacity.
H&K MP5A3
This SMG is called the "WASP 11," with the sliding stock removed. The magazine is also straight and comes down vertically.
Assault/Battle Rifles
SIG 551
A rifle resembling a SIG 551 but also with features from the IMI Galil, such as the front hand grip and rear stock, appears as the "Vicar Mark II." As well as being in-keeping with the religiously themed names of the weapons used by Trinity, it also may be an allusion to the Vickers Mk1 machine gun.
Bushmaster ACR with M203 grenade launcher
A non-upgradeable DLC weapon, the Bushmaster ACR-type rifle is known as the "Umbrage 3-80." It has an integrated suppressor and is also the only rifle to feature an actual M-203 launcher rather than a home made version. For some reason, the game model does not have a magazine.
FN FAL
Another highly imaginative rename, the FAL is known as the "GF RAL." Like the L1A1 SLR variant previously used by the British army, it only fires in semi-auto mode.
Machine Guns
FN M249
This is known as the "PN-TF-267" (PN-TF being an abbreviation of Pontiff). This is placed in the machine gun/assault rifle slot. Note the plastic stock, as on the later revisions of M249.
