Beretta 92FS
The Beretta 92FS is Max's weapon of choice, and is also used by many criminals in the game. It is one of the two weapons in this game that can be dual wielded. The textures used in the game reveal that the actual model of Beretta 92F was a West German "Miami" model from Reck International (which is an only blank firing gun, which is indicated by the PtB [Physikalisch technische Bundesanstalt] sign that is required in Germany to buy blank firing guns without a gun licence.). The game Beretta uses 18-round magazines.
IMI Desert Eagle
Another major weapon in the game is a stainless/chrome Desert Eagle. The gun first shows up in the hands of the very first bad guys that Max faces at the Roscoe Street Station, and is the weapon that B.B. uses to murder Alex Balder. In addition to many bad guys, several named characters also use the gun, among them Vinnie Gognitti and Mona Sax, who plays a more prominent role in the next game. Unlike the next game, this weapon cannot be dual-wielded, though several game mods exist that allow Max to do so. Nicole Horne uses one to try to shoot you when you come halfway up the stairs in the last level. The Desert Eagle in-game is noted as .44 Magnum caliber and uses incorrectly large 12-round magazines.
Cobray M11/9
Max's first obtains the Cobray M11/9 in the shootout with Rico Muerte in the Lupino hotel stage early on in the game. It's the only weapon other than the Beretta that can be dual-wielded, and often shows up being wielded this way by bad guys, including Frankie "the Bat" Niagara during the second major bar shootout at Lupino's hotel.
Winchester 1300 Defender
Max's primary shotgun is the Winchester 1300 Defender. He first uses this during the prologue where he's trying to save his wife and baby girl from V-head junkies. It is quite powerful against the various gangsters Max faces, especially if head shots are used, though it loses its effectiveness in the third act where Max faces mercenaries wearing body armor and packing assault rifles. Boris dime also uses one when you fight him.
Sawn-Off Double-Barrel Shotgun
The Sawn-Off Side-by-Side Double Barrel Shotgun first makes its appearance during the "Live at the Crime Scene" stage, in the hands of a punk who guns down his buddy during an argument over a detonator. Unlike most sawed-offs in movies and games, this weapon can only be fired one barrel at a time. Jack Lupino uses one during the showdown with him at Ragna Rock.
Pancor Jackhammer
The most powerful weapon in the game is the Pancor Jackhammer shotgun. Max doesn't get the Jackhammer until the parking garage stage where he faces off with B.B., his backstabbing former partner, who also wields one of these. It primarily shows up in the hands of Nicole Horne's Killer Suits in the ending stages of the game, and is extremely deadly at close range.
Colt Commando Model 733
Max first gets hold of the Colt Commando Model 733 when he raids the arsenal of Boris Dime in the aftermath of a shootout with him on board the cargo ship Charon. It's a powerful weapon that later sees use in much of the third act, and often shows up in the hands of Nicole Horne's mercenaries and Killer Suits. The muzzle flash is rather inaccurate -- it looks as if it came from an old-style three prong flash hider.
Steyr SSG 69
Max and various bad guys use the police version of the Steyr SSG 69 rifle. This version of the rifle uses a ten-shot detachable magazine.
M79 Grenade Launcher
Max first encounters the M79 Grenade Launcher during the storming of the Punchinello manor, in the hands of a bad guy who blows open a door trying to take him down. This weapon will kill any non-boss bad guy in its blast radius, and will also kill you if you're too close to what you're shooting at. Bad guys using this weapon show up a lot in the third act, making Max's life extremely rough.
Molotov Cocktail
Max can find and use Molotov Cocktails throughout the game. They are also used by some bad guys.
M26/M61 Hand Grenade
Max can also find and use M26/M61 Hand Grenades throughout the game. They are also by some bad guys.
