Sleeping Dogs is a 2012 action game developed by United Front Games and Square Enix London, published by Square Enix, about a Hong Kong-born Cop who returns there from the United States in order to infiltrate the local Triad in a bid to bring them down.

The following weapons appear in the video game Sleeping Dogs:


Pistols

AMT Hardballer

The AMT Hardballer is available in the game by wearing Agent 47's outfit from the Square Enix Character Pack DLC. It is fitted with a suppressor.

Heckler & Koch USP

The Heckler & Koch USP appears in two different variants in the game. One chambered for 9x19mm and the other is chambered for .45 ACP, which are referred to as the "9mm Pistol" and ".45CAL Pistol", respectively. The 9mm variant is used by many Triads early in the game. Wei first receives one to reenact a shootout at a crime scene. It is also the standard sidearm of HKPD uniformed officers, despite the real Hong Kong Police Force using Smith & Wesson Model 10 revolvers as standard sidearm. The .45 variant is used exclusively by Triads in later missions and are first encountered during the Club Bam Bam shootout. Many of the .45s are outfitted with underbarrel flashlights.

IMI Desert Eagle Mark I

A slightly stylized Desert Eagle MK I is the signature weapon of Winston Chu, a Sun On Yee "red pole" and leader of the Water Street Gang, who most dramatically uses it when he shoots a suspected informant in the head; and Ponytail. After Winston's death, Wei uses it during a shootout in the nightclub, and it spawns in his apartment each day when the game has been completed if the 'Ghost Pig' DLC is installed.

"Rico's Signature Gun" (Just Cause)

The revolver used by the main character of the Just Cause video game series, Rico Rodriguez, is available in the game by wearing Rico's outfit from the Square Enix Character Pack DLC. Is fitted with a usable grenade launcher. As a replica of the revolver used in the games, it is somewhat based on the Taurus Raging Bull.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP7

The MP7, stylized like the rest of the game's firearms, is a common weapon for Triad shooters, and is often given to Wei whenever a mission requires gunfire from a moving vehicle. It is referred to as "Machine Pistol". When reloading, Wei pulls an invisible charging handle on the right side of the weapon rather than using the bolt release or actual charging handle at the rear of the weapon.

Wei wields an MP7 in Hong Kong's city center. It holds 40 rounds in a magazine, a capacity possible with standard MP7 magazines, but the magazine in the weapon is way too short to hold 40 rounds and appears mid-way in length between the 40-round and 20-round flush fit magazines.

Not that there's a foregrip for him to hold, anyway. The integrated foregrip has been replaced for a length of picatinny rail.
Aiming the MP7. The entire top of the weapon has been made somewhat taller compared to the real thing. Wei also ignores the partly-unfolded stock, too.

Heckler & Koch UMP9

A Heckler & Koch UMP9, with a few small and a couple of large cosmetic changes, appears as the ".45CAL SMG". The weapon features a seemingly bent UMP shoulder stock, a MP5 forearm, and the fictional taclight that also appears on the Assault Rifle and Anti-Riot Shotgun. Despite being labeled as a .45, the curvature of the magazine seems to be modeled off of the curved magazine of the 9mm UMP variant. Is also used by HKPD despite using the older MP5 variants used by Hong Kong police in real life.

Assault Rifles

Fictional Bullpup Heckler & Koch G36E

The weapon that serves as the game's resident assault rifle appears to be a fictional bullpup variant of the Heckler & Koch G36E. It has also been given a non-descript taclight in some instances. It is simply referred to as "Assault Rifle".

Fictional L85A2 with AG36/L123A2 Grenade Launcher

With the Tactical Soldier Pack downloaded, Wei Shen can find himself a shiny new assault rifle in his apartment every day. It appears to be a fictional version of the L85A2 with a modified Heckler & Koch AG36 (L123A2 in British parlance) grenade launcher attached. The rifle itself is missing the standard iron sights, and has gained some picatinny rails and a large trigger/handguard. When reloading, the AG36 is depicted as sliding forward to open the breech, like an M203 grenade launcher, rather than swinging open to the left. The grenade launcher is also missing the pistol grip. The rifle is also used by an 18K goon in "The Funeral" and Wei in "Civil Discord".

Donning a standard evil mercenary outfit, Wei equips himself with a franken-L85A2. Despite being a different model than the franken-G36 above, this weapon is still referred to as just "Assault Rifle".

FR-27 Sanction Flechette Rifle (Deus Ex fictional weapon)

The FR-27 Sanction Flechette Rifle, a fictional weapon from Deus Ex: Human Revolution, is available by equipping Adam Jensen's outfit in the Square Enix Character Pack DLC.

Shotguns

Hawk Semi-Auto

The Semi-Auto variant of the Hawk appears in the game as the "Anti-Riot Shotgun". It holds 10 rounds in each magazine. This shotgun is used is used by many 18K Triads in the later shootouts of the game.

Hawk Type 97-1

The Hawk Type 97-1 appears as the "Pump Shotgun". It is fitted with a pistol grip. It can be obtained from the trunk/tailgate of HKPD cruisers, and used by riot control officers who will chase Wei if he has attacked any police officers or killed a number of civilians. It is occasionally used by Triad gangsters during shootouts, but they prefer the semi-automatic Hawk.

Grenade Launchers

Milkor MGL

The Milkor MGL is a weapon available with the "Year of The Snake" DLC. Is called either "Tear Gas Launcher" or "Crowd Disperser". It is pulled out of a police cruiser trunk during a riot in Soho. As the name indicates, the launcher shoots tear gas rounds.

Taking cover gives us a good look at how Wei ignores that perfectly good foregrip- likely to reuse animations with the rifle-type weapons.
Wei aims the MGL at a fellow officer to encourage him to get back to work. This reticle is shared with the grenade launcher mode on the launcher-equipped variant of the "Assault Rifle".

Other

GE M134 Minigun

The DLC vehicle "DZB-90" from the "Wheels of Fury" DLC is fitted with a pair of GE M134 Miniguns. They hold 200 rounds before needing to reload.
