Alan Wake

Alan Wake (2010)

The following guns appear in the video game Alan Wake:

Usable Weapons

Colt Python

The Colt Python with 4" barrel is the first weapon in the game, called simply "Revolver". Holds six shots, with a maximum of 36 in reserve. Bright Falls Sheriff Sarah Breaker and FBI agent Robert Nightingale also carry Python revolvers (even though the Python is not a standard issue FBI handgun in real life).

Over/Under Shotgun

The Double Barreled Over/Under Shotgun appears in the game simply as "Shotgun". It is much more powerful than the Python, but its range is limited and ammo for it is very rare. Holds two shells at once with 24 in reserve.

Browning O/U - 12 Gauge

Winchester Model 1300 Defender

The Winchester Model 1300 Defender is first seen in Chapter 3: Ransom. Called "Pump-action Shotgun" in the game. Holds a maximum of 8 shells, while the real 1300 Defender has a 7-shell capacity at max; like the over-under shotgun, its reserve is 24 shells. Sheriff Sarah Breaker also uses a Winchester Model 1300 Defender during Chapter 5: The Clicker.

New Version Winchester Model 1300 Defender - 12 Gauge

There is an Achievement called "It's Not Just a Typewriter Brand", awarded after killing 50 Taken with with the shotgun. This Achievement refers to the Remington typewriter brand, however the in-game shotgun is clearly not a Remington.

Remington Model Seven CDL

The Remington Model Seven CDL is known as "Hunting Rifle" in the game. Judging by the 5-round capacity, it is chambered in .17 Remington Fireball. This is the most powerful weapon in the game next to the Orion flare gun. Ammo is scarce.

Model 7290 Flashbang Grenade

Model 7290 flashbang grenades are first found in Chapter 3 "Ransom", when the police chase Alan into the woods. Has a similar effect as the Orion flare gun; kills weaker Taken, damages larger ones. If a thrown flashbang hits a Taken, it will explode on impact. It is worth noting that the nomenclature on the in-game flashbangs reads "M7920" instead of the correct "7290", probably to avoid licensing issues. Also, they have a blue body, like the Model 7290T (training version of the Model 7290).
