The Riot Gun is a very, very slight improvement over the regular [[#Shotgun|Shotgun]].  Larger magazine capacity, same spread, slightly greater attack power (unless you fully upgrade both weapons, but then don't get the Exclusive upgrade on the Riot Gun). It has a unique trait in that it aims slightly faster than other weapons (this is what "easy to handle" means).  You may buy the Riot Gun when you enter the Castle.

Damage Drop-off is much more gentle compared to the Striker. It has a unique trait in that it aims slightly faster than other weapons (this is what "easy to handle" means).  You may buy the Riot Gun when you enter the Castle.


'''Exclusive effect''': Firepower rises to 10.0. (available at 4-4: last)

[[File:RE4Weapon Striker.jpg|left|thumb|Striker]]
A semi-automatic, drum-fed shotgun.  The Striker is, in essence, the best of all worlds — highest attack power, highest fire rate, fastest reload, and a relatively massive magazine.  The Exclusive upgrade for this weapon is a 100 round magazine — perfect for those huge crowds.  The striker has a 5x2 inventory footprint.  You may buy the Striker from the merchant at the bottom of the spike trap.

The Killer 7 is the second of the magnums - a 1911-style automatic with an attached laser sight.  The gun itself is a reference to another Capcom game called [[Killer7]]. It has no Exclusive upgrade, and its firepower is weaker than a fully upgraded Broken Butterfly, but it sports a faster firing speed, a faster reload speed, a larger capacity, and reduced recoil.  While you will need to fire more shots to take something down with it, it is a very cost effective weapon.  You may buy the Killer7 at the first Merchant on the Island.

This weapon fires Mine-Darts at enemies which detonate after a short period of time.  You may purchase a scope for this weapon, which gives it increased accuracy and a first-person zoom view.  A large number of players despise this weapon, citing its low fire rate, large inventory footprint, lack of usefulness without a scope, and the relative scarcity of its ammunition.  While it is true that the Minethrower has a low fire rate and large footprint, it does not require the scope to be of any use, and the scope can even get in the way, and its ammunition is not as scarce as stated, due to how it drops.  If the player has a total of 8 or fewer darts, in the Mine Thrower and the inventory, there is a chance to drop more darts until the number of darts the player has in total is 9 or greater, at which point the game refuses to drop more.  It is worth noting that the firepower stat does not actually measure firepower, but rather the blast radius of the darts.  The actual firepower is on-par with that of a Hand Grenade.  Used in the hands of a knowledgeable individual, the Minethrower can be a devastating weapon.
