All the weapons include descriptions, ammunition types, and images which you can click to see what the weapon looks like in-game. You can see the cost of each weapon and their upgrades; I've also included some personal thoughts as well as information about where or how to obtain the weapons. Weapon statistics are also included, as well as an average of these - the latter doesn't indicate the best weapons as such, but serves as a decent comparison basis for different weapons of the same type. You can also see the impact of weapon upgrades - these are shown as green bars and the second percentage for the applicable stats (accuracy, reliability and average).

Most weapons are prone to jamming; as you use a particular weapon it'll slowly get worn which is evident in two ways. First off, a weapon will slowly get dirty and grow rust so you can often judge the condition of a weapon simply by looking at it; some of the screenshots on this page will show weapons in various conditions. Second, as a weapon gets worn it becomes more and more likely to jam or misfire; a jam can be cleared by tapping the Reload button. A weapon in extremely poor condition may eventually explode in your hands; while this (as far as I know) isn't really dangerous, it does mean that you'll have to find a replacement weapon if it happens. For more information about weapons, reliability, ammunition, and more, please refer to the Game Mechanics page.

Personal notes
The game lists this as an assault rifle which I find a bit strange since the MP-5 is a submachinegun (MP is an abbreviation of Machine Pistol); perhaps they decided to list it as an assault rifle since it's a primary weapon.

Personal notes
There are two different kinds of AK-47's in the game; regular ones that are carried by milita and that you can buy from the Weapons Shop, and golden ones you can find in various places. The stats here are for the regular version. The golden version seems to be somewhat improved - it appears to have better accuracy and from what I've seen so far, they don't appear to get worn and thus won't ever jam. Click here to see a screenshot of the Golden AK-47.
Locations
This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop, however only after you've completed the second Convoy mission. You will also encounter militia armed with this rifle, although it's initially not as frequent as the G3-KA4.

You can use the Interactive maps to see the locations of the Golden AK-47's, but I've included their locations below as well for good measure. You can find three in Leboa-Sako:In Bowa Seko you can find a Golden AK-47 in the following places:

Personal notes
I haven't really used the Dart Rifle that much yet - but once I picked it up I did notice that you, sadly, cannot go hunting wild life with it; the darts simply seem to go right through any animals in the game. Although this, in many aspects, is a powerful rifle it's marred by it's extremely slow firing rate - you'll have to manually load a new dart after each shot.

The Dragunov SVD (Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova ~ "Dragunov Sniper Rifle") is a semi-automatic, gas-operated rifle and was originally designed to extend the effective range of infantry squads, and was as such not a "traditional" sniper rifle. It was adopted by the Soviet Military in 1963, and the rifle has seen use in various conflicts including the Vietnam War, the Soviet war in Afghanistan, and the Iraq War.

This is a decent sniper rifle especially during the early stages of the game. The main drawbacks are it's limited clip size and the fact that you have to eject the spent round between shots, which severely decreases its fire rate.

Personal notes
This is a great weapon that packs quite a punch. The clip of four grenades makes it easy to dish out alot of damage in little time, however the weapon does take a bit of time to reload; refer to this tip for a method on how to reduce the reload time.

This rocket launcher seems to be more precise than the RPG-7 Rocket Launcher, not only due to the built-in scope. It also seems less prone to misfires which is a bit strange seeing this rocket launcher has poorer reliability than the RPG-7.

Ammunition
Uses explosives. 1 round fed manually.
Personal notes
The RPG-7 is somewhat prone to misfires which usually means that the rocket will hit anything but it's intended target; the misfires can, however, be quite funny as the rocket will fly out of control in quite a spectacular way.

This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop after you've completed the second Convoy mission.

Personal notes
What's a bit weird is the fact that this weapon uses fuel as its ammunition - I'd have guessed at explosives myself. Oh well. Sometimes when you attack areas inhabited by militia they may use a flare pistol to call for backup; usually this means that an assault truck will come rushing. I really like this "weapon" - it reminds me of the Flare Gun from the game "Blood". It enables you to set areas (and people!) on fire.

This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop once you've completed the second Convoy mission.

Personal notes
This is another really fun weapon to use since it's quite versatile. Although I wouldn't call myself a pyromaniac, setting stuff on fire in Far Cry 2 is just plain fun!

This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop, however only after you've completed the third Convoy mission.

Personal notes
When using the mortar, hold down the Iron Sight button (typically the second mouse button) to ready the mortar; use the mouse to move the barrel forward or backwards to increase or decrease the range of the mortar shell. Hold down the Iron Sight button after you fire to keep focus on the round. Initially, the blue shell you have ready is a tracer round which will just emit yellow smoke - use this to aim the mortar. Press the Reload button to switch to an explosive (red) shell. While you have an endless supply of tracer rounds you can only carry a limited number of explosive shells.
Locations
You can find a mortar inside a house in the central desert between Leboa-Sako and Bowa Seko.
