Ratings are from 1 to 5 (5 being the best)

Pistols

PP7

  • Power: 2
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 2
  • Magazine: 7 bullets

It's not the best weapon out there. It has the highest rate of fire among the handguns, but its shots are not very strong. If you can, try to get in headshots for maximum damage when using it.

Silenced PP7

  • Power: 1
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 1
  • Magazine: 7 bullets

May not seem useful by looking at the numbers, but keep in mind that it's silenced so no enemies can hear you when you fire it. That's a very useful thing.

DD44 Dostovei

  • Power: 3
  • Time between shots: 2
  • Frequency: 3
  • Magazine: 8 bullets

Pretty useful in multiplayer mode, and when your only alternative is an unsilenced PP7.

Cougar Magnum

  • Power: 5
  • Time between shots: 1
  • Frequency: 1
  • Magazine: 6 bullets

Good in single-player for sniping, and good in multiplayer if your opponent doesn't have an automatic weapon. Shoots through doors. Aside from that, though, it's not all that great.

Silver PP7

  • Power: 5
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 3
  • Magazine: 7 bullets

This gun functions just like your standard PP7, but with the same killing power as the cougar magnum (Shoots through doors, etc). Only available on single player and by using cheats.

Gold PP7

  • Power: 5/Auto Kill
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 3
  • Magazine: 7 bullets

This gun functions just like your standard PP7, but with the same killing power as the Golden Gun (one shot anywhere will kill the person or destroy the object). Only available on single player and by using cheats.

Golden Gun

  • Power: 5/Auto Kill
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: N/A
  • Magazine: 1 bullet

Scaramanga's fabled weapon, the Golden Gun's bullets will any person or destroy any destroy-able object with one hit. There are a few things to bear in mind when using it, though. With a magazine of 1, you will constantly need to reload. As such, you need to be careful when dealing with groups. And, just like with the Gold PP7, a shot to an enemy's gun will not kill him.

Automatics

KF7 Soviet

  • Power: 2
  • Time between shots: 4
  • Frequency: 5
  • Magazine: 30 bullets
  • Zoom-in

Zoom-in provides very high accuracy along with ammo conservation and less noise generated. As the enemies you encounter throughout the entire game widely carry this gun, learn to use it sooner.

Klobb

  • Power: 1
  • Time between shots: 1
  • Frequency: 3
  • Magazine: 20 bullets

Loud, low power, waste of ammo. Simply put, this weapon is no good when compared with the other weapons you have in your arsenal. Use as a last resort only, and perhaps not even then.

D5K Deutsche

  • Power: 2
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 2
  • Magazine: 30 bullets

Your average sub-machine gun, this is a handy weapon to pick up. The bullets are not quite as strong as some other guns, though, so it would be better to dual-wield this weapon if you can to make up for it. Just watch your ammo supply! On the Frigate, you get a silenced version - very useful.

Phantom

  • Power: 4
  • Time between shots: 3
  • Frequency: 1
  • Magazine: 50 bullets

The Phantom is a powerful gun, and the 50-round magazine helps to augment this trait. The only real problem with the weapon, aside from its loudness, is that you only get it in one level (Frigate). It isn't even in multiplayer!

ZMG 9mm

  • Power: 3
  • Time between shots: 2
  • Frequency: 3
  • Magazine: 32 bullets

The ZMG is not all that different from the D5K, in terms of both stats and appearance. It lacks a silenced version, but it is overall more effective in dealing with foes because of its higher power. Dual-wielding this weapon would be a very good idea, but even on its own it's still quite strong.

US AR33

  • Power: 5
  • Time between shots: 4
  • Frequency: 2
  • Magazine: 30 bullets
  • Shoots through doors
  • Zoom-in

This weapon is easily one of the candidates for 'best weapon in the game'. It fires powerful rounds that can even punch through doors (and multiple foes), it has a good magazine size, and it has a scope to enable high accuracy. Add it to your arsenal as soon as possible.

RC-P90

  • Power: 5
  • Time between shots: 5
  • Frequency: 1
  • Magazine: 80 bullets

This gun is so good, it would be faster to list its negatives instead of the positives. It lacks a scope, so using it at close range is a must. It's also very rare - it only appears in a few stages. Still, this is an automatic that can't be beat! Even if your foes are wearing body armor, this gun will rip through it with brutal efficiency. Just watch your ammo!

Explosive weapons

Grenade Launcher

  • Power: 5
  • Frequency: 2
  • Magazine: 6 rounds
  • Range: 3

Simply put, this launches grenades. They fire in an arc and they explode upon contact with the floor - they ricochet off walls and ceilings. A very powerful weapon, but you should master the trajectory of the grenades before you use it for real, lest you blow yourself up.

Rocket Launcher

  • Power: 5
  • Frequency: 2
  • Magazine: 1 round
  • Range: 4

The Rocket Launcher fires rockets in a straight line towards its target. Obviously it will explode on contact with whatever it hits, resulting in carnage. To hit enemies that aren't standing near walls, however, you will have to aim at the floor so the explosive detonates near them; otherwise it will just launch right past them. You should use this sparingly, as you can only have three rockets in reserve.

Grenade

  • Power: 4
  • Frequency: 3
  • Range: 2

Pressing down the fire button pulls the pin out, releasing throws the grenade. This means it is possible to hold down the fire button and keep the grenade in your hand for a little while so that when you throw it, it doesn't have that annoying pause before it explodes. Don't hold it with the pin out too long, though.

Mines

All mines are instantly detonated upon being hit by bullets. Treat them with respect.

Timed

Throw it on something, and in five seconds it blows up. Use these when it's the only explosive weapon you have.

Proximity

Throw it at something, and when an enemy walks by it'll explode, destroying all within the blast range. Use these when you're being pursued by an enemy.

Remote

Throw mine at a surface. Switch weapons once so that where your weapon should be, you see Bond with his finger near a button on his watch. Push Z button and Bond will push the watch button, setting off the mine. Alternatively, throw a mine then press A button and B button together to set off the mine without switching to the watch.

Use this when you need to use an explosive weapon that blows up exactly when you want it to. It's also good for destroying multiple targets without being noticed immediately. Set a mine on target A, another on B, etc. and you can blow them all up at the same time, so that there's no noise made while you're setting the bombs (i.e. no bombs going off when you're trying to place other bombs).

Other weapons

Sniper Rifle

This is the best ranged weapon in the game. Press L button or R button, and you zoom in farther than any other weapon. Press Up c and you can zoom in a bit more. Also initiates a glitch in some levels. This is the perfect gun for headshots in single player and most appreciably in multiplayer.

Throwing Knife

This weapon may be the most awkward to use but if you have nothing else it can save your life (bunker 2). Use a cheat code, or the magnet watch to obtain this weapon. You have to stop and aim or there's a good chance of missing with this short range weapon. If you get a body or head shot this weapon, it does deliver a fatal blow.

Hunting Knife

This is really nothing more than an upgraded melee attack, which you shouldn't be using anyway unless forced to. Note that you can only get these using cheats anyway, which renders them useless in the grand scheme of things.

Gadgets

Wrist watch to set off the bomb use it where ever whenever always
