This article is a list of the weapons encountered in [[Gears of War]], a [[video game]] developed by [[Epic Games]] for the [[Xbox 360]].
Locust Pistol


===Lancer Rifle===
This weapon is slow, only holds 6 rounds but is quite powerful. It is good against wretches, which it can kill in one shot as long as you can shoot straight.

However, due to it's slow firing rate and small magazine, the snub pistol is much more effective against most online foes. The power may be slightly higher than that of the snub, but to any creature that this weapon is not a one shot kill, and online this can prove incredibly inconvenient.
Standard COG assault rifle with 60 round magazine and a Chainsaw bayonette. Lancer is a default in multiplayer.
3 shots to the body down someone, and two shots to the head kill. A shot and a melee will down your opponent.

This weapon is slow, only holds 6 rounds but is quite powerful. It is good against wretches, which it can kill in one shot as long as you can shoot straight. However, due to it's slow firing rate and small magazine, the snub pistol is much more effective against most online foes. The power may be slightly higher than that of the snub, but to any creature that this weapon is not a one shot kill, and online this can prove incredibly inconvenient. 3 shots to the body down someone, and two shots to the head kill.
