Starting Weapons

These weapons will begin in your inventory on every level.

* indicates explosive damage

Name	Type	Clip Size	Damage	Reload Time (seconds)	Info
Knife	Melee	Infinite	50	.46875	Only unmanned helicopters can be consistently reached without the use of a hyperjump/time rift, other helicopters will raise altitude. Unfortunately, collision detection is a bit off for the weapon so you should try and attack while on top of the enemy.
Grenades	Thrown Explosive	25	50 + 35*	.625	Simple grenades that either explode on impact with an enemy, or drops on the ground then explode. Thrown in a low range arc. The explosion deals additional damage. You start with 25 grenades at the beginning of every level, so use them if you can! Any additional grenades collected (over 25 grenades total) will be carried over to the next level. Only flying drones can be consistently reached without the use of time powers/hyperjump.
Pistol	Firearm	Infinite	10	.25	A simple pistol with fair reload speed.
Bow & Arrow	Ballistic Projectile	Infinite	30	.625	Arrows fly in short range arcs and are hard to aim. Unlocked after the completion of Zone 1-1.

Droppables

Three flying drones, or two helis must be destroyed for one of these to appear.

* indicates explosive damage

Name	Type	Clip Size	Damage	Reload Time (seconds)	Info
Machine Gun	Firearm	150	10	.15625	A machine gun with a much faster reload time than the pistol. 25 ammo is received from enemies destroyed during a hyperjump.
Akimbo Mac10's	Firearm	75	8 x 2	.125	Fires in bursts of two with a fast reload time.
Chain Gun (hidden in Training Zone)	Firearm	100	10	.0625	An extremely fast firing gun with the fastest reload time of any gun. It has a large recoil though, so aim carefully in short bursts. Can also be unlocked after the completion of Zone 1-2.
Shotgun	Firearm	20	15 x 4	.78125	A gun that shoots 4 bullets at once, where the bullets spread outward from the gun at equal angles in a V shape.
Double Shotgun	Firearm	15	10 x 7	1.09375	Shoots 7 bullets at once (not 8 as stated by the in-game description), with a heavier spread than the Shotgun. Unlocked after the completion of Zone 1-3.
Sniper Rifle	Firearm	12	75	.625	A rifle with a laser sight for better aiming, making it difficult to miss the target. Unlocked after the completion of Zone 1-4.
Grenade Launcher	Projectile Explosive	15	75 + 35*	.9375	Fires a grenade with medium velocity. Like the Grenade Launcher in Heli Attack 2, it will not reach most helis if fired from the ground.
RPG	Projectile Explosive	15	85 + 35*	.78125	Fires a rocket grenade which accelerates to incredible speeds. They can be difficult to aim due to the delay after firing, so they are best used on larger helis.
Rocket Launcher	Projectile Explosive	11	100 + 35*	1.25	A launcher that fires a slow-moving rocket.
Seeker Launcher	Projectile Explosive	7	100 + 35*	1.5625	A launcher that shoots slow-moving seeking rockets that home in on the nearest enemy.
Drunken Launcher	Projectile Explosive	6	(50 + 35*) x 3	1.875	A launcher that fires 3 rockets which go off in random directions.
Guided Launcher	Projectile Explosive	9	100 + 35*	1.5625	A launcher that shoots special rockets which follow the player's cursor. Active rockets will automatically explode after a period of time if they do not hit anything.
Shotgun Rockets	Projectile Explosive	7	(25 + 35*) x 3	1.25	A gun that fires three small rockets in an even spread.
Flak Cannon (hidden in Training Zone, Zone 3-3)	Ballistic Projectile	8	10 x 20	1.5625	A gun that fires 20 small pieces of flak at once which launch at random speeds and trajectories. Because this is inaccurate, it is best shot at close range, or with the possibility that stray flak may drop on ground troops.
Goo Gun (hidden in Zone 2-2)	Ballistic Projectile	25	50	.3125	A gun that fires goo balls that can either do direct damage to an enemy, or stick to the ground, which will eventually explode and damage ground troops. The same amount of damage is caused by either method.
Spark Plug (hidden in Zone 1-3)	Energy Projectile	30	30 x 2	.46875	A weapon that fires 2 equally damaging sparks which weave in and out of each other.
Flame Thrower	Flame Projectile	150	2/frame	.0625	The bigger the flame, the less damage it does. Flames can deal their damage multiple times, as well as bounce off solid objects. Ammo can be used up very quickly.
Bladerang	Ballistic Projectile	7	20/frame	1.5625	A gun that shoots projectiles that return toward their firing position like a boomerang. Upon returning to their firing position, the projectiles become affected by gravity and fall to the ground; they can still deal damage while falling. Many hits can be inflicted in one pass, and if shot properly, the projectile can pass over an enemy twice.
Laser Rifle	Energy Projectile	25	30/frame	0.5	A gun that shoots lasers. It can go through multiple enemies as well as hit them multiple times.
Auto Laser Rifle	Energy Projectile	25	20/frame	0.25	A faster-firing Laser Rifle, but deals less damage per shot and is inaccurate.
Shotgun Lasers	Energy Projectile	12	20/frame x 3	.9375	A shotgun that fires three lasers in an even spread.
Rail Gun	Energy Projectile	6	200	2.34375	A gun that shoots depleted uranium slugs at near light speed, making it almost impossible to miss with. Shots can pierce walls.
Anytime	Energy Projectile Explosive	5	130 + (50 + 35*) x num. of hits	4.6875	An upgraded Rail Gun. Projectiles will continue to explode as long as they are in contact with an entity that detonates explosives (enemy, environment, etc.). The use of Time Distortion/Time Rift will compress the distance between explosions, resulting in more damage. Like the Rail Gun, it can also shoot through walls. Each slug does 130 damage, with each additional hit doing 50 flat damage and 35 explosive damage.
Air Strike	Miscellaneous	4	(50 + 35*) x 12	1.25	A device which does no damage by itself, but summons planes to drop bombs from above (though the planes are never seen).
Taser	Electric Grapple	2	5/frame	6.25	A taser with a large socket that attaches to an enemy. It deals 5 damage per shock and is guaranteed to kill. Other weapons may be used while the enemy is being shocked.
Soundwaave	Energy Projectile	30	10/frame	0.3125	A gun that shoots waves of sound that do constant damage to enemies and pierce walls. It does its damage multiple times, as one wave can drain as much as 20% of a Big Gun's health if aimed in the correct location. This weapon is considered to be the best by the Miniclip community, as it can destroy the equivalent of six or more Big Guns per ammo pickup, and the quick reload time makes it devastatingly effective.
A-Bomb Launcher	Projectile Explosive	3	500 + ?*	9.375	A launcher that fires extremely slow nuclear missiles that can destroy any enemy if it hits it. Each rocket deals 500 impact damage, and the resulting explosion deals as much, if not more damage.
Black Hole Generator	Miscellaneous Projectile	1	0	18.75	A weapon that summons a small black hole the size of the screen. It can instantly kill all on-screen enemies while also erasing any on-screen projectiles, with the ability to eliminate several helicopters if positioned properly. Each pickup contains contains only 1 ammo, so it is recommended that the weapon be used quickly if the player wants to avoid the lengthy reload time.
