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.

Holds clip with 30 rounds. 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. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop, however only after you've completed the third Convoy mission.

Uzi Back to top Submachinegun (Secondary) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   Uzi The original design of the Uzi dates back to the 1950's created by Uziel Gal. The aim of the Uzi was to provide a compact firearm with a good rate of fire, ideal for clearing out confined spaces such as bunkers.

Locations This weapon is unlocked automatically when you gain access to Bowa Seko.

AK-47 Back to top Assault Rifle (Primary) Cost: 10 Accuracy upgrade: 2 Reliability upgrade: 2   AK-47 The AK-47 is probably the most well-known assault rifle in the world as it's been used in dozens of countries in many conflicts around the world. Damage 40% Range 50% Accuracy 80% / 90% Reliability 90% / 100% Fire Rate 50% Average 62% / 66% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 30 rounds. 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: eastern region south-eastern region south-western region In Bowa Seko you can find a Golden AK-47 in the following places: northern region eastern region south-western region south-eastern region

AR-16 Back to top Assault Rifle (Primary) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   AR-16 Damage 40% Range 50% Accuracy 100% / 100% Reliability 50% / 70% Fire Rate 60% Average 60% / 64% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 30 rounds. Personal notes This rifle comes with a built-in reflex sight. Locations You can find this weapon in a safehouse south-east of North Railyard in the north-western region of Leboa-Sako.

FAL Paratrooper Back to top Assault Rifle (Primary) Cost: 10 Accuracy upgrade: 3 Reliability upgrade: 3   FAL Paratrooper Damage 40% Range 80% Accuracy 80% / 90% Reliability 70% / 80% Fire Rate 50% Average 64% / 68% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition.

G3-KA4 Back to top Assault Rifle (Primary) Cost: 6 Accuracy upgrade: 3 Reliability upgrade: 3   G3-KA4 Damage 30% Range 40% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 40% / 50% Fire Rate 40% Average 42% / 46% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 30 rounds. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop and it's available from the start of the game. During the early stages of the game this is the most common assault rifle used by enemies.

AS50 Back to top Sniper Rifle (Primary) Cost: 35 Accuracy upgrade: 8 Reliability upgrade: 8   AS50 The Accuracy International AS50 is a large caliber semi-automatic sniper rifle produced in Britain. Damage 100% Range 100% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 50% / 60% Fire Rate 20% Average 66% / 70% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 5 rounds. Personal notes The scope on this rifle has better magnification than those on the M1903 and Dragunov SVD. Locations You can find this weapon inside the safehouse in the southern part of the north-eastern region of Leboa-Sako. This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop after you've completed the fifth Convoy mission.

Dart Rifle Back to top Sniper Rifle (Special) Cost: 10 Accuracy upgrade: 3 Reliability upgrade: 3   Dart Rifle Damage 100% Range 100% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 50% / 60% Fire Rate 20% Average 66% / 70% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. 1 round fed manually. 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. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop, however only after you've completed the fourth Convoy mission.

Dragunov SVD Back to top Sniper Rifle (Primary) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   Dragunov SVD 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.

Damage 70% Range 100% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 60% / 70% Fire Rate 30% Average 64% / 68% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 10 rounds. Personal notes Probably my most favorite standard weapon in the game (so far). It eliminates the main drawback for the M1903 since it by having a larger clip size and each spent round is automatically ejected. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop once you've completed the fourth Convoy mission. Once you gain enough reputation you'll start to encounter enemy snipers carrying this rifle.

M1903 Back to top Sniper Rifle (Primary) Cost: 10 Accuracy upgrade: 3 Reliability upgrade: 3   M1903 The Springfield 1903 is a bolt-action rifle that was introduced as the standard service rifle of the american army in 1903. Although the rifle was later replaced by the M1 Garand, it still served as a sniper rifle during the second World War, the Korean War and the earlier stages of the Vietnam War. Damage 80% Range 100% Accuracy 70% / 80% Reliability 40% / 50% Fire Rate 10% Average 60% / 64% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition. Holds clip with 5 rounds. Personal notes 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. Locations This weapon is available from the start of the game. During the earlier stages of the game you'll encounter snipers carrying this rifle.

M-249 SAW Back to top Light Machinegun (Special) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   M-249 SAW Damage 40% Range 20% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 60% / 70% Fire Rate 60% Average 48% / 52% Ammunition Uses standard ammunition.

Holds cartridge with 100 rounds. Locations This weapon is available from the start of the game.

M-79 Grenade Launcher Back to top Grenade Launcher (Secondary) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   M-79 Grenade Launcher The M-79 Grenade Launcher was first used extensively during the Vietnam War, and saw its initial use in 1961. The purpose of the M-79 was to provide a superior alternative to rifle grenades and mortars, offering better accuracy and portability. Damage 90% Range 50% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 80% / 90% Fire Rate 10% Average 58% / 62% Ammunition Uses explosives. 1 round fed manually. Locations This weapon is available from the Weapons Shop after you complete the fourth Convoy mission.

MGL-140 Back to top Grenade Launcher (Primary) Cost: 35 Accuracy upgrade: 8 Reliability upgrade: 8   MGL-140 The Multiple Grenade Launcher (MGL) is a semi-automatic, six-shot grenade launcher developed by the Milkor company in South Africa. It uses a revolver-like magazine, and the cylinder is spring-loaded and rotates automatically while firing; this provides a superior fire-rate compared to traditional grenade launchers such as the M-79. Damage 90% Range 70% Accuracy 80% / 100% Reliability 80% / 100% Fire Rate 10% Average 66% / 74% Ammunition Uses explosives. Holds clip with 4 rounds. 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. Locations You can find a MGL-140 inside the safehouse in the south-eastern part of the eastern region of Leboa-Sako. You can buy this weapon from the Weapons Shop once you complete the eighth and final Convoy mission.

Carl G Rocket Launcher Back to top Rocket Launcher (Special) Cost: 35 Accuracy upgrade: 8 Reliability upgrade: 8   Carl G Rocket Launcher Damage 100% Range 80% Accuracy 70% / 90% Reliability 50% / 70% Fire Rate 10% Average 62% / 70% Ammunition Uses explosives. 1 round fed manually. Personal notes 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. Locations You can find this weapon inside the safehouse in the northern part of the central region in Leboa-Sako. The Carl G is available from Weapons Shop when you complete the seventh Convoy mission.

RPG-7 Rocket Launcher Back to top Rocket Launcher (Special) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   RPG-7 Rocket Launcher Damage 100% Range 80% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 60% / 70% Fire Rate 10% Average 62% / 66% 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. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop after you've completed the second Convoy mission.

Flare Pistol Back to top Flare Pistol (Secondary) Cost: 4 Accuracy upgrade: 1 Reliability upgrade: 1   Flare Pistol Damage 20% Range 60% Accuracy 60% / 70% Reliability 60% / 70% Fire Rate 10% Average 42% / 46% Ammunition Uses fuel. 1 round fed manually. 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. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop once you've completed the second Convoy mission.

IED Back to top Explosive (Secondary) Cost: 10 Accuracy upgrade: N/A Reliability upgrade: N/A   IED Damage 100% Range 0% Accuracy 0% Reliability 0% Fire Rate 0% Ammunition A single remotely detonated explosive device. Personal notes You can drop several explosives before detonating them. When you drop an IED you'll automatically change to the remote detonator; press the Iron Sight button (usually the second mouse button) to switch back to IEDs. Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop.

LPO-50 Back to top Flamethrower (Special) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   LPO-50 The 'Liquid' Plamya Obretz 50, or LPO-50 for short, was a "Light Infantry Flamethrower" introduced some time around the 1960's in the Soviet Union. Damage 60% Range 10% Accuracy 90% / 100% Reliability 80% / 90% Fire Rate 10% Average 50% / 54% Ammunition Uses fuel. Holds enough for about 30 seconds of continuous flamethrowing action. 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! Locations This weapon can be bought from the Weapons Shop, however only after you've completed the third Convoy mission.

Type 63 Mortar Back to top Mortar (Special) Cost: 20 Accuracy upgrade: 5 Reliability upgrade: 5   Type 63 Mortar Damage 100% Range 80% Accuracy 40% / 60% Reliability 40% / 60% Fire Rate 10% Average 54% / 62% Ammunition Uses explosives. 1 round fed manually. 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.
