What seems to be a general purpose flare gun is actually a Jericho 941 Semi-Compact. It can be unlocked and used. Interestingly, it set enemies aflame on the PSP; this counted as environment kills.

---

Fabrique Nationale Five seveN

The silenced version don't show the silencer, meanwhile the standard TEC-9 can be used by Gabriel Logan in Episode 1, Part 4 and Episode 7, Part 3 where Lian Xing kill the guard, in a crate. Of course Logan can't dual wield that due the unique presence of the weapon.

MAK .45

The MAK .45 can be used in Episode 5 and Episode 6. Can be also dual wielded. Isn't unlockable.

Always the .45 have only single shot and 3 shot bursts fire modes, meanwhile the 9mm have also a full auto option. Both MAC-10 are named MAK.

---

MAK 9mm

The 9mm version is used in Episode 2, Part 2 and 3, and is an auxiliary weapon for some reason, because the 9mm is a little bit less powerful than the .45 version, that can be dual wielded.

---

Mossberg 500 Mariner Cruiser

Called Shot Defender in game, is the pump-action shotgun can be acquired in Episode 5 Part 1. It is permanently unlocked by completing Sana's, Yemen in record time.

---

Pancor Jackhammer HE

The Jackhammer HE is maybe the deadliest weapon apart the Desert Express .50 and the M82 BFG, capable to one hit, one kill everyone. With bosses are required only few shots.

---

Mk 153 Mod 0 SMAW

Available in two forms:  the first is a standard, anti-infantry version that is unlocked by destroying every warhead in Episode 4. The second one is an 'Anti-Tank' version with only one round per magazine to compensate for its immense power, necessitating a reload every time the weapon is fired.

The second one can only be found in Episode 4 Part 4, when Logan is forced to confront Zivmovic, the latter having hijacked an M1 Abrams main battle tank. As with The Omega Strain, using this too close to oneself causes collateral damage. The SMAW is used by two enemies in Episode 4, Part 4 and two enemies in the Yemen bonus mission and in the first case can be used using a glitch. Consist to reach the ceckpoint when these guys spawn and let them to kill you, then kill one of them and the let the other to commit suicide, falling on the ground and capable to pick-up it.

---

MB-150

The second default weapon for Gabe Logan is a 'MB-150' sniper rifle, which can never be dropped unless the game script calls for it. This particular weapon fires 6mm shots as well as 'darts', and the player is at no point able to swap it, release it from Gabe or otherwise get rid of it but there are two instances where the firearm is lost from one's inventory. The first is when Touchstone clobbers Gabe and uses the weapon against himself (but is promptly defeated) and the second is when the rifle is accidentally thrown over a balcony in Gabe's attempt to evade an ambush in Bangkok.

---

VSS Vintorez

Just as Gabe's second default weapon is the MB-150, Lian Xing is armed with the VSS Vintorez. Both are exactly similar, firing 6mm and various 'dart' rounds despite looking distinctly different. The Lian's VSS is a VSS-DU, if talking of Omega Strain.

Miscellaneous

---

Flamethrower

In a callback to the original Syphon Filter's fight with Anton Girdeux in Freedom Memorial, Red Jack is seen armed with a general-purpose fire whip, as is another unnamed Red Section grunt, both of whom Gabe has the distinct bad luck of encountering in gameplay. Fortunately for him, the weapon's weaknesses are exactly as that which Girdeux bore: shooting the fuel tanks on one's back would detonate the weapon and kill the user from immolation. In the mission "Kreisler's Garden" you can use the flamethrower, but only if you play the PSP of the game. For obtain this weapon, reach the checkpoint at the door where the guy spawn, then make that the guy kill you and restart from the checkpoint. If correct, when you will kill him, the flamethrower will dropped. That weapon have a magazine capacity of 300, four of damage and five of rate of fire. The fire modes are the same as assault rifles. in the weapon select is glitched, not showing the actual fire mode. Surprisely, have also a description and if you play on story mode can be fully used to the next level, "Freeeman Answer". The model will not show up, due the lack of the weapon in this level. The PS2 and PS Vita version will not allow players to use this.

---

M-134 Minigun

The M134 appear on the last bonus mission carried by the last Zhou's thug. As the flamethrower, can be obtained only in the PSP version. The tactic is the same, at the checkpoint, let the guy kill you and restart from the checkpoint. Then kill him and after the key to Zhou's room is taken, the M-134 Minigun must be dropped. When equipped, you will walk very slowly, but just un-equip to walk faster. The Minigun have maxed stats, a 100 round "magazine" and a description, plus the classic three fire modes: single shot, 3 burst shot and full auto. This time the weapon menu shows correctly the actual fire mode. As the preious weapon can't be obtained in the PS2 and PS Vita releases.

---

Tasers

---

E.D.T. / E.P.D.D.

The signature weapon of the series, the Taser, returns in two forms as Omega Strain, but this time there isn't the cosmetical change, so both are visually identical. The E.D.T. have a very short range, but can incapacitate enemies in a short time, meanwhile the E.P.D.D have a practically infinite range, because will be near impossible to miss the target due to the non hitted enemy.

A strange fact is that when you kill an enemy with the Taser count as a headshot if you play in hard difficulty. In the North American PSP version of the game, you can burn enemies, but you can't in other releases. Another strange thing is that when you unlock the E.P.D.D. Gary Stoneman can use. In fact before the upgrade haven't the E.D.T.. If you are pretty good, you can kill Mara Aramov with the E.P:D.D.!

---

Paintball Gun

This "weapon" is used in the first two trainings. Is equal in every aspect to a Heckler & Kock Mark 23 SD, but shots paint instead of bullets. Surprisely, the PS2 version have censored the paint marks. Maybe this is caused because that version in completely consored than the European PSP version, that still have blood (and partially censored) and the North American PSP version, that is 100% uncensored. This is the only sidearm weapon that you can't dual wield.

---

Paintball Rifle

Instead this rifle is used in the third training like an actual MB-150. Like the Paintball Gun is equal in every aspect to a MB-150. For some reason the Logan's Shadow version of the training replace it with a real MB-150.
