Assault Rifle refers to a basic design of a weapon that combines the abilities of older long-range rifles and the rapid fire of sub-machine guns. Common designs include the M-16, M-4, AK47 (and 74), and the L85A1.
A baseball bat is a smooth, wooden or metal club used in baseball to hit the ball, although many games use it as an accessible and effective blunt melee weapon.
A baton is a weapon used mainly for law enforcement. Kurtis Stryker from the Mortal Kombat series uses a baton.
Whether it's translucent, transparent, opaque, glass, plastic, or some other material the bottle can be your best friend, or your worst enemy. Sometimes filled with liquor, or maybe an extra supply of lantern oil.
A brick is a block of ceramic material used in masonry construction, laid using mortar.
It's the meanest weapon in horror and construction games. Don't mess with the great communicator.
Crowbars are commonly used to open nailed wooden boxes. They are also, however, excellent weapons. Epitomised in the phrase: "Aliens have invaded the Earth. Here's a goddamn crowbar."
The Garrote is a handheld strangulation device. The only difference between Fiber Wire and a Garrote is that Fiber Wire is produced with no metal, allowing it to pass through metal detectors with ease.
A blunt tool used to hit things, whatever those things may be... a nail, a person.
A pointed tool made for breaking up ice, but more often thought of as a grisly makeshift weapon.
A knife is a commonly seen object in video games. Usually used for close quarters combat, or as a cutting tool.
A weapon.
Used to cut meat.
An apparatus that fires nails or rivets. Not always designed as a weapon, but most often used as one.
Plastic bags are used for carrying things and used by psychopaths to suffocate their victims.
A revolver is a type of handgun that holds ammo in a revolving chamber. It normally houses six rounds, and in games is usually more powerful than standard handguns.
As the name suggests, this is a shotgun whose barrel has been sawed off closer to the firing chamber to make it more portable. It has a much shorter range, but is easy to manoeuvre and is easy to conceal.
The most powerful weapon at short range. Effective against Zombies, Nazis, Demons, etc. Videogame shotguns tend to have exaggerated inaccuracy at long range- real life shotguns are still fairly accurate over a decent distance, while videogame shotguns rarely go more than fifteen feet before becoming completely ineffective.
An edge tool used for cutting grass or crops.
The weapon of choice for accuracy at long distances. The sniper rifle's slow rate of fire makes it ineffective for close range combat, but its high calibre round ensures that it inflicts maximum damage against the target.
A firearm capable of firing pistol ammunition automatically. Favored for shorter distances, or dealing death indoors.
