Tomb Raider II

Tomb Raider II is a British videogame developed by now-defunct CORE Design and published by EIDOS, released on PC and PlayStation in 1997. The 2nd instalment in the Tomb Raider series follows British archaeologist and explorer Lara Croft as she travels the world to find the ancient Dagger of Xian which when plunged into the heart by the user turns them into a dragon. 
The game had an PC Exclusive expansion, Golden Mask that was included in some re-releases of the game and was eventually released as a free patch, where Lara explores the fictional Melnikov Island in Alaska in search of the titular Golden Mask of Tornarsuk and finds herself fighting the mercenary group A.V.A.L.A.N.C.H.E who are also after the mask. 
A re-release titled Tomb Raider I-III Remastered was announced in September 2023 for release on February 14th 2024. I-III Remastered includes Tomb Raider, Tomb Raider III, and the expansions to all three games and optional enhanced graphics.
__TOC__
=Handguns=
==Browning Hi-Power==
As in the previous game, a pair of nickel plated Browning Hi-Powers serve as Lara's main weapons, with unlimited ammo and, like most of the weapons she uses in the game, an infinite magazine size. The models used in the artwork and FMVs differ in finish from the in-game models, the former being an all-nickel finish, whereas the in-game models feature black slides and nickel frames. At the time, the Browning Hi-Power was the standard-issue pistol of the British Army, which suggests Lara may have used these pistols for the patriotic touch. Higher detailed models that show the Hi-Power's unique slide design and slide release are seen in art work for the game.
==Intratec TEC-22==
The weapons model wise are based on the Intratec TEC-22 called "Automatic Pistols" in-game, they are dual wielded pistols that are more powerful than the infinitely firing Browning Hi-Powers that Lara has. Like the actual TEC-22, the magazines load into the pistols in front of the trigger guards. 
==CZ P-10 C==
Various NPCs during the Tibet levels in the base game and Melnikov Island in Golden Mask use a handgun that, while blocky and generic in the original release, resembles a CZ P-10 C in the remaster.
==Beretta 92FS Vertec Inox==
A suppressed Beretta 92FS Vertec Inox appears in the remaster being used by the masked Fiamma Nera thugs as well as their leader Marco Bartoli.
This is also used in the Tomb Raider III remaster.
==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
The Smith & Wesson Model 500 appears being used by the Revolver wielding boss Fiamma Nera members in the remaster; these replace the generic revolvers from the original version that, while somewhat similar to the Model 500, could not possibly have been based on it, seeing as it entered production six years after TRII's release.
=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5SD3==
The H&K MP5SD3 submachine gun is seen in the hands of some Bartolli thugs during an FMV, as well as Bartolli himself in the game's title screen.
==Ingram MAC-10==
The MAC-10 is depicted in-game and in the game's artwork, incorrectly referred to as "Uzis" in-game. The MAC-10s can be dual-wielded by Lara. Chambered in 9x19mm, these have the same power per shot as the Browning Hi-Power pistols and have limited ammo, but are far more effective due to their increased rate of fire.
=="Tommy Gun"==
The first of Bartolli's cultists that Lara encounters in the game fires at her with a submachine gun that features a drum magazine and appears to be inspired by the Thompson M1928/M1A1 models as it has a similar shape to them but with the drum magazine moved infront of the foregrip. In the following dialogue sequence, he refers to having "a Tommy Gun on [his] keyring." 
==Walther MPL==
An Walther MPL submachine gun is depicted in the game's artwork.
==Machine Pistol==
Some enemies used a generic machine pistol, that appears to be a hybrid of a MAC-10 and Micro Uzi.
Bizarrely it appears to hav two charging handles: one on the side and one on top of the receiver.
==IWI Uzi Pro==
In the remaster the generic machine pistol used by enemies more closely resembles the Uzi Pro (but keeping the same redundant top carrying handle). 
It is anachronistic considering the weapon was produced in 2010. 
=Shotguns=
==Mossberg 500 Cruiser==
A pistol gripped pump-action shotgun that can't be dual wielded returns from Tomb Raider 1. It seems to not be based on any particular pump-action shotgun.
However in the remaster, it's replaced with a a customized Mossberg 500 Cruiser just like the other other games' remasters. 
==SPAS-12-like Shotgun==
The remaster adds some features from the Franchi SPAS-12 to a large generic shotgun used by Cultist Shotgunners.
=Assault Rifles=
==Custom Shortened AKS-47==
A short-barrelled AKS-47 is depicted in the game's artwork. The same model is used again on a loading screen on Tomb Raider III, where the milled receiver is clearly visible. 
In the remastered version, it is used by enemies and has no ejection port as the model is mirrored on both sides.
==M16==
The M16 is depicted in-game and in the game's artwork. It's the most powerful gun in the game but Lara must switch between shouldering or hip-firing the M16 as she starts and stops moving. It cannot be dual-wielded, as opposed to what the game's artwork shows. The in-game version appears to be an M16A1 with a 20-round magazine, while the artwork version appears to depict an SP1 M16 (note the lack of forward assist), with an A1 flash hider. 
Notably, while every other weapon in TR2 has a nerfed lock-on range compared to TR1, the M16 actually has a longer lock-on range, enabling Lara to engage targets further away, Lara must also switch between shouldering the M16 and hipfiring it as she starts/stops moving with it drawn, adding a delay between firing unlike other weapons.
=Machine Guns=
==Browning M2==
A heavily scaled down Browning M2 appears mounted to the armed version of the Snowmobile that appears being used by enemies.
Lara can drive enemy snowmobiles and use their mounted Browning M2 Machine Guns after killing the driver.
In the base game this vehicle only appears in the Tibetan Foothills level while in Golden Mask it appears in Cold War and Fool's Gold.
==Maxim MG08/15==
Lara is depicted in the game's artwork firing a Maxim MG08/15 machine gun.
=Other=
==Grenade Launcher==
Lara's grenade launcher doesn't appear to be based off of any real life model in particular. However, it appears to be single shot like the M79 because of its gameplay animation. 
==Harpoon Gun==
Lara's Harpoon gun in the game appears to have a very large air tank. It is also the only gun on the game that requires reloading, once every 4 shots.
==Flamethrower==
Men with flamethrowers appear on the Diving Area level.
