===Hydra===
===Hydra (Unlock)===
Unlocked by fully upgrading the [[#Ithaca M37|Ithaca M37]] shotgun. The Hydra can then be purchased for ₦30,000. While it is not as powerful as the M3 and has a slower reloading speed, the Hydra is marked for its special ability upgrade. It also has a huge spread so you can relax and win even if you fail at aiming.

==Machine Guns==
==Machine Guns==
These are weapons that shoot bullets that are pretty weak per shot, but at such a high rate that they add up for some good damage. Machine guns aren't the most useful weapon in Resident Evil 5, but they sure are fun to upgrade for the infinite ammo feature. One machine gun bullet is worth even less to you than one handgun bullet, so you might use the machine gun to set enemies up for melee punishment, dislodge treasures, etc. Machine gun ammo is encountered occasionally.
===VZ61===
===VZ61===
The first machine gun you will find in the game, it is definitely the most lacking machine gun. Having power three times weaker than even the weakest handgun, the VZ61 should be replaced with a better machine gun as soon as you find one. On the other hand, you still have to upgrade this gun completely if you want to unlock the boss of the machine gun category.

===H&K MP5===
A machine gun that hardly deals more damage than the VZ61, the MP5 isn't a great weapon either. But this is disregarding its special capability, which causes the bullets to pierce through enemy shields and armor. This definitely helps with the tribal Majini and the base Majini that are smart enough to defend themselves.

===AK-74===
===AK-74===
===H&K MP5===
The strongest out of the four regular machine guns. Although it comes with a smaller capacity, the damage dealt out to enemies per time is finally significantly greater than with a handgun with the AK-74. If you are going to use a machine gun often, this is the one to use. It has no special ability.
 
===SIG 556===
===SIG 556===
This is a wannabe AK-74. Although it has a slightly higher capacity and a faster reload, it deals just a bit less damage than the AK-74. The SIG 556 has no special ability.
