Part 1: Introduction
This FAQ describe ALL weapons of this fantastic game including online weapons,
gadgets, objects, unused and controls. In Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror the weapons
are divided in categories (and even in sub-categories, not listed in weapon
selection, where is generic) like Syphon Filter: the Omega Strain, but here the
"Melee" section is virtually absent due the lack of other knives and non-lethal
weapon selection. However Melee weapons can still selected in "Equip" This is
virtually replaced by the "Special" section, where you can't change/remove the
weapon in any case. For easier recognize the weapons have a colored badge on the
top right of the in-game weapon menu. Them changes in base of the weapon type
and
are six. Then the categories are:
- Special: here there are the new weapons featured in the game. In Training 3
you will make practice with the MB-150 (in reality is a "Paintball
Rifle"), first of the two Special weapons. These can fire darts and
Gary Stoneman is the only playable character without a Special
weapon. In online the MB-150 have an extra dart type. Specials have
a very light blue badge
- Back: shoulder weapons is the category with most weapons in it and are
divided in many sub-categories. These are: assault rifles, heavy
machine guns, launchers, light machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles
and "other" where a weapon in real life don't have a proper category.
If you play as Gary Stoneman, you will have selected by default its own
rifle, the "Stone's Rifle". In reality is a generic old type AR-15
series rifle, where in online is in fact an "AR-15". The Back weapons
is the most vary category and have a red badge
- Sidearm: sidearm weapons are generically pistols and are also divided in
other three sub-categories: machine pistols (like TEK-9), sub
machine guns (like MDS-7) and shotguns (the only is the Sawed-Off
Pistol). Two sidearm weapons are exclusive to Gabe Logan and Lian
Xing. The Mark 23SD is for Logan and the TEK-9 is for Xing. Sidearm
weapons have the special ability to be dual wielded when that is
unlocked (earn the first sharp shooter badge) like Omega Strain. If
you want use just one you need to pick-up a pistol from a dead
enemy/crate and re-pickup the your own. Every sub-category of
sidearm weapons can be dual wielded also if aren't pistols. This
mean that you can have dual machine pistol, sub machine guns and
shotguns. Sidearm weapons have a yellow badge
- Auxiliary: in this category there are only sub machine guns (but in online
there is also one shotgun, the Sawed-Off Shotgun). Them are the
intermediate choice between Back and Sidearm weapons due small
weapons dimensions and high capacity magazines. As other weapon
categories can have suppressors and scopes. Also if some weapons
can be dual wielded in real life, here can't because the dual
wield ability affects only Sidearm weapons. Auxiliary weapons have
a white badge
- Grenade: grenades are weapons intended to eliminate groups of enemies, but
some are just for slow the enemy. In singleplayer you can use just
two grenades, M67 and EMP. However in online you can use a lot more
grenades. Grenade is divided in two sub-categories: grenades and
mines. The full mines lineup is available in online, but in
singleplayer you can use only the laser mine. Grenades have a very
light green badge
- ETC: The "ETC" is a weapon category created by me. The ETC haven't a meaning,
but can be "Et Cetera". This category is virtually "Melee" of Omega
Strain due that contains the same weapons. However this category being
fictional you can't select different Tasers, them are replaced as soon
as you have earned the last stealth combat specialist. ETC weapons have
an orange badge
As Omega Strain, there are also some gadgets. In Dark Mirror there aren't just
the
PID and the NV Goggles, but also some new and other equipment. Them can be
selected
with the same method, just press "Left" instead of "Right". The last used gadget
(affects only goggles and PID) can be activated rapidly just pressing faster
that
directional button, as fire modes for weapons. Also if them aren't divided per
category, I've created the my own:
- Goggles: here there are the three visors that will help a lot. There is also
a fictional google, the EDSU. This permits to find electronic things
and find also some other things, like hidden evidences
- Torches: this category have only one gadget, the PID. The own use is very
very useless in Dark Mirror because you have always the access to
the NV Goggles. However is essential in Episode 4, Part 2 in the
very beginning of the level, helping Janzen to pass the broken
ground
- Healers: this is the most useful gadget. It is a med kit. Of course you must
use it to heal yourself after injuries. Can be used also for heal
teammates too, but are one use only, requiring to pick-up another to
heal again. Use it carefully and when you have really need. A good
strategy is to use it when you have seen another med kit, using and
pickup the other
- Other: the last category have a fire extinguisher and the new gadget, the
RTL. The first can be found only in Episode 3 and the purpose of it
isn't just to extinguish fires, but also to "stun" temporarily enemies
shooting directly in the face. It have the unique characteristic to
have infinite "ammo" as the EDT/EPDD, but for some reason can be
replenished. The RTL is used to move faster or pass sections without a
ground
The penultimate category of things are the objects. Them can be only pickupped
and
viewed through the weapons menu in pause menu. There are two distinct objects
type:
"Online" and simply "Objects". Of course there aren't real sub-categories, but
I've
created once again fictional by me:
- Objective: section made for online objects for objective type of online
matches. This section is online specific only
- Cards: this section have security cards
- Keys: these are just ordinary keys
- Keycards: similar to the previous, but are keycards that permits to access
off limit areas
- Other: this section is available for both Online and Objects categories. The
only online exclusive "Other" object is the Agency Zip Line, meanwhile
the Flak Jacket is shared between the two bigger categories. The Other
sub-category have also all of the non card and keycard objects like
the Freeman's Server Code. This sub-category contain the Hidden
Evidences too
Finally the last category, the listing of the unused things. It have all of the
previous sub-categories plus some new, but are still created by me. For unused
weapons I've wrote only the stats are sure: name, real life counterpart,
caliber,
in-files descriptions and comment unlike including all stats as seen also for
objects for example. The new categories are:
- Darts: available only for Syphon Filter: Dark Mirror unused things, contains
two unused darts: Decoy, maybe the singleplayer version of the Sensor
and Taser, that is unknown what is. Maybe a non-lethal EDT dart (as
said in the training for the MB-150 the EDT darts are lethal)
- Descriptions: this contains the descriptions of bullets and darts used for
both MB-150 and VSS-DU. For some reason there isn't the
description for the Sensor Dart. The presence of these however
is strange, because in game never you will never have
bullets/darts displayed in pause weapon menu
- Clone weapons: these are very strange adding. Actually are extra entries for
already usable weapons. Them seems to appear as online version
of the standard weapons, meanwhile for the Laser Mine appear
twice: one for the online and the other for the Training 4,
making one of the many weapons to have three versions using
the same game model. Other are the Heckler and Kock MSG90 and
the Norinco Type 56. There are three types of clone weapons:
"PvP" (Player versus Player), "MP" (Multi Player) and "TR"
(Training). PvP and MP ones are online exclusives and can be
the resolution of the more powerful Galil AR, but both don't
have any difference between other modes variants. Instead TR
ones are the mines used in the last training, but haven't
differences between the two variants
Part 2: Controls
After the immense FAQ's Introduction finally I will illustrate all of the
control
schemes for the game. For start to play I must say that is obvious to learn the
them of course. You can learn them thanks to the trainings. Be careful, there
isn't
just one type of controls. If you play the PSP version there are three different
controls scheme (Standard, Advanced and Classic), meanwhile in the PS2 version
lacks the "Classic" control scheme and the only change between the PS2
"Standard"
and "Advanced" is are the analogic sticks, that swap the functions.

Part 3: Weapons, Gadgets and Objects
Now starts the real FAQ. If a weapon's "Capacity" and "Total Ammo" had two
values,
one without brackets and the other with them, means that the weapon appear
online
and have an ammo boost. A particular case is for the Galil AR, that in the
online
appearance have also a damage boost, from "III" to "IV". The weapons are
divided by
category, then are listed as the same order as the weapon category seen before.
Meanwhile sub-categories are listed in alphabetical order. The alphabetical
order
applies also for individual weapons. Good reading!
Default Weapons
Weapon Name: MB-150
Real life counterpart: Heckler & Koch Militarisch Scharfschutzen Gewehr 90
Type: Special/Sniper Rifle
Button Select: X, press again to switch darts and bullets
Stripe Colour: Very Light Blue
Damage: V
Fire Rate: I
Caliber: 6mm+3/5/8/10 Darts x3 (Online 6mm+3 Darts x4)
Clip Size: 10
Capacity: 30 (40)
Total Ammo: 40+3/5/8/10 Darts x3 (Online 50+3 Darts x4)
Description: This is the IPCA sniper rifle. It has the ability to fire
specialized gas darts, explosive darts, and EDT darts that can be
triggered by the user at any time
Comment: The MB-150 is a very versatile weapon due the three types of darts.
Also if isn't so powerful (requires also 4/5 shots to kill an enemy),
the darts helps the weapon use. Not only is a sniper rifle, but also a
"trap gun" when you arm gas or explosive darts, making stealth kills,
but when you will trigger explosive ones of course the your cover will
blow in the area. These two darts are excellent for group kill of
course. The only cons of the weapon is that darts can't be
replenished, but you can remove them with EDSU googles when aren't
triggered, however for EDT ones you still can remove it when making
the kill. This will save a dart too, rendering virtually infinite.
Good for Dart Specialist ranks. On online mode there is one more type
of dart: the Recon dart. With this you will able to see enemies on
radar if was hit from this dart
Weapon Name: VSS-DU
Real life counterpart: Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya Vintorez
Type: Special/Sniper Rifle
Button Select: X, press again to switch darts and bullets
Stripe Colour: Very Light Blue
Damage: V
Fire Rate: I
Caliber: 6mm+3/5/8/10 Darts x3
Clip Size: 10
Capacity: 30
Total Ammo: 40+3/5/8/10 Darts x3
Description: The VSS-DU is a prototype variant of the standard VSS or Vintovka
Snaiperskaja (Special Sniper Rifle). This is the prototype that
eventually leads to the development of the MB-150. As with the MB-
150, the VSS-DU can fire specialized darts that can be triggered
by the user at any time
Comment: The VSS-DU from Omega Strain returns, but this time don't have any
special proprieties (the capacity of kill two or also three enemies
with only one shot), but act like as the MB-150. Sniper rifle and dart
gun at the same time. This weapon is unique to Lian Xing and as the
MB-150 can't be swapped with other weapons. This weapon don't appear
in online mode, then the own dart selection is limited to three types.
At the contrary of Logan, Lian will not lose its Special weapon in any
occasion. Gabe twice: one against Touchstone and the other in the
explosion in the ending cutscene of the first Bangkok level
Weapon Name: Stone's Rifle
Real life counterpart: generic Colt Model (M) 16
Type: Back/Sniper Rifle
Button Select: Triangle
Stripe Colour: Red
Damage: V
Fire Rate: II
Caliber: .330
Clip Size: 10
Capacity: 20
Total Ammo: 30
Description: Now this here's a rifle. I've had this weapon, man and boy, for
forty years. The scope's cracked, the stock's split, and it's
showin' wear same as I am. But I wouldn't trade it in for one of
them new fangle MB-150s if Gabe paid me to, which he's tried.
Nope, I'll stand by this old girl. One of the few I've learned to
trust. --Stone
Comment: Unlike the its previous appearance this time is "fixed". For fixed I
mean that in Dark Mirror have a magazine with 10 rounds and only one,
rendering the weapon infinitely more useful than before. It have the
best scope in game due is telescopic, not fixed in two/three levels of
zoom. Have also a unique scope and how is said in the description is
cracked. Have also the best zoom, zooming more than any other sniper
rifle. This weapon is also the only sniper rifle that have a
suppressor and unique to characters. However being a Back weapon and
not a Special can fire only bullets and of course can be swapped with
other weapons. You can use it in online as the "AR-15". It is the same
rifle, but haven't the cracked scope. Other features remain the same.
Enemies in "Narbonne, France" use the AR-15 variation of the Stone's
Rifle
Weapon Name: Mark 23 SD
Real life counterpart: Heckler & Koch Mark 23SD
Type: Sidearm/Pistol
Button Select: Square
Stripe Colour: Yellow
Damage: IV
Fire Rate: II
Caliber: .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP)
Clip Size: 12
Capacity: 24
Total Ammo: 36
Description: In August 1991, a request was made by the US Special Operation
Command (also SOCOM) for offensive handguns. Termed the OWHS, for
Offensive Handgun System, it was a pistol designed within certain
specified parameters that would be sufficient for concluding
"offensive" operations, as opposed to the more traditional role
for the handgun, which was only used for defensive operations.
Thus the Mark 23 SD was made. The heavy .45 bullets, precision
accuracy, and threaded silencer make a good choice for stealth
Comment: This is the default weapon of Gabriel Logan. It is unique to him,
anyone uses it in main story. Some enemies in last bonus level,
Bangkok Part 2, use it. However when these enemies will be neutralized
you will not able to pick-up ammo, also if you perform the glitch to
use the Minigun (you need to kill yourself in game and retry the
mission, for some reason undropable weapons will dropable. This don't
work too for Red Jack's flamethrower). Always in this level there is a
unique crate with ammo for the Mark 23SD, never appeared in main
story. This weapon box will give infinite ammo. The only method for
finish them is starting with an another sidearm weapon and then pick-
up it from the box
Weapon Name: TK-9 (TEK-9)
Real life counterpart: Intratec TEC-9
Type: Sidearm/Machine Pistol
Button Select: Square
Stripe Colour: Yellow
Damage: III
Fire Rate: V
Caliber: 9x19 Parabellum
Clip Size: 32
Capacity: 64
Total Ammo: 96
Description: TK-9 is is very dangerous weapon that has a nasty reputation on
the streets. Gangs and drug dealers favor it because of it's
relatively low cost, large magazine capacity and accuracy
Comment: Called also "TEK-9" in game (depends on game region. TK-9 for PAL
release, TEK-9 for original NTSC-U one), is the default Sidearm weapon
for Lian Xing capable to shoot in two firing modes: single shot or
three rounds bursts. Unlike Omega Strain can't make full auto shots,
making it a little bit more realistic here. Being a Sidearm weapon can
be dual wielded also if it is a machine pistol, anyway in real life
isn't so difficult to handle two of them. Always unlike Omega Strain
will not hold with two hands when single wielded. In Omega Strain make
this less realistic, because without a grip you can't use two hands to
handle it, or the hand that hold will be burn due the overheat of the
gunmetal. Once again in Omega Strain you will not able to dual wield
it, because is an Auxiliary weapon. The full auto thing can be
justified that was used by Yakuza members that have modified the
mechanism of firing, not a difficult thing who can make these
modifications. In Episode 7, Part 3, Gabe can pick up a TK-9 from a
box. This box is situated in the same place of the guy killed by Lian
at beginning of the level. For enter in this place, you must entry in
an air conduct and you will enter in this place. Search in the room
and you will find this box. In online you can use a fictional variant
called "Ripper", and is worse than the true TK-9
Weapon Name: Fist
Real life counterpart: Fist
Type: ETC/Bare Hands
Button Select: R1 (R For PSP)
Stripe Colour: Orange
Damage: I (Normal Attack), V (When Snap Neck)
Fire Rate: N/D
Caliber: N/D
Clip Size: N/D
Capacity: N/D
Total Ammo: N/D
Description: None
Comment: What to say, these are the your hands, and you can use them for
eliminate enemies with various scripted moves. These are: nudge
(facing an enemy), low kick in mouth (when an enemy is crouched),
pistol whip (when is equipped a weapon and the enemy is front of you
and standing), low kick in nape (when you are behind an enemy and is
crouched) and neck snap (when you are behind the enemy and standing).
Of course the last move is the deadliest, but for bosses and some
enemies (like some Yavlinsky's guards) you need to perform this
various times before to kill them. Use this "weapon" only for stealth
kills or if you love to make the things harder

Description: This 7-inch high carbon chromium stainless steel blade is a
standard issue of the US military. This knife can withstand
extreme impacts and is capable of quickly slicing through bare
flesh and heavy military fatigues
Comment: The only real weapon in game for making Close Quarter Combat (CQC)
kills. As the "Fist" have also it scripted moves. Are just two this
time: in front of the enemy you will stab the enemy's belly, killing
it, meanwhile when you are you are behind an enemy you will stab the
knife in the enemy's neck. As the fist some enemies that are more
though requires also two stabs or more for bosses. However the damage
are the same independent from where are you stabbing

Description: The EDT delivers a powerful 625-volt charge capable of
incapacitating the target. It is completely non-lethal and is
small enough to fit into a hoister. The EDT had a range of 25 feet
Comment: How to not know this weapon? The answer is you can't. If you have
played Syphon Filter games enough is impossible that you haven't used
it at least one time. As Omega Strain will have two versions of the
Taser: the EDT (short range) and the EPDD (long range, practically
infinite as previous titles). The EDT will be replaced and not anymore
usable when you will reach the highest rank in stealth kills (make all
stealth kills in all levels where available). However you can still
use it when you start the Story Mode again, removing all goodies like
this or extra darts, anyway the progress in Mission Mode will not
overwritten by starting the Story Mode again, then don't worry.
Interestingly Gary Stoneman is the only Main Character that don't have
it, as the K-BAR. The effect of the EDT vary between releases: in
original PSP release you can set in fire enemies and remain for
indeterminate time till you don't release the fire button as previous
installments, in European PSP version you can only set the enemies in
smoke and after a while them will fall dead and in PS2 ports you can't
set in smoke or burn enemies, just "stun". Maybe due a glitch, when
playing in Hard Mode killing enemies with EDT will result a head shot,
making this easier scoring head shots. However is even more easier
when used the EPDD version for its very long range

Comment: The only method to regain life, unlike previous games. You can use in
any condition of life, from 1% of damage to 99%. If you will try to
heal yourself with it when you have max health the game prompts you
that you can't because you have max health. You can use it for heal
you teammates too, but are one use only, then you will need to pick-up
an another if you want heal yourself. It restores the 100% of health.
A help is given by the game when you have more than 50% of damage and
you reach a checkpoint, because if you reach a checkpoint with like
80% of damage and you die, at the restart the health isn't anymore at
20%, but at 50%. Use them only when you really need like after an

research and development, the FAMAS prototype was completed in
1971. French military evaluation of the rifle began in 1972, but
was not completed until 1978 when the French military finally
accepted the rifle as the standard French combat weapon. More
recently, the FAMAS saw service in 1991 in Kuwait during Operation
Desert Storm and other various peacekeeping missions
How to get: Complete the second training under 3:00
Comment: Depending of game release can be called also "FA-MAS". It is one of
the most known bullpup weapons (together to the Steyr AUG). It have an
uncommon amount of bullets in magazine, twenty-five. This is a strange
thing, because use STANAG magazines like Colt assault rifles. However
the G2 variant features a 30 rounds magazine. "FAMAS" means: Fusil

Caliber: 5.7x28
Clip Size: 10
Capacity 20 (30)
Total Ammo: 30 (40)
Description: The 57 uses the same ammo as the SSP 90 and it designed to become
a major service pistol throughout the world. The firing mechanisms
are designed to balance the recoil with the forward friction and
torque of the bullet. This creates a very unusual reloading cycle
with very little recoil. The bullet cartridge is longer than most
other pistol cartridges and the bullet is very thin, being only
5.7mm in diameter
How to get: Complete the first training under 1:35
Comment: The SP-57, fictional name of the Five-seveN, is a pistol that uses the
same ammunition of the P90. In real life is capable to drill common
flak jackets without problems and using a small caliber for a pistol,
can be stored relatively a high amount of ammo, twenty bullets. In
Dark Mirror own magazine have exactly the half bullets, ten. However
in Omega Strain the amount is correct. Maybe was reduced due its
enormous power

Description: The UNP is an extremely reliable and lightweight weapon that has
precision accuracy and low recoil making it relatively easy to
handle, even for lesser-experienced users. Like the MDS family,
the UNP also fires from a closed bolt position. The large caliber
and small size of this weapon makes it a very deadly and effective
weapon that can be used in many different hostile situations
How to get: Complete the third training without wasting a shot
Comment: This is absolutely one of the my favourite weapon of all time. The UMP
(Universale Maschinenpistole, in English Universal Machine Pistol) if
produced in three calibers: 9x19 Parabellum, .40 Smith & Wesson (S&W)
and .45 Automatic Colt Pistol (ACP). The most used variant in media is
the .45 one, because is the most powerful of the three, of course. The
only cons is that haven't a standard magazine of 30 bullets. This is
caused by the .45 ammunition, bigger than 9mm or a .40 of course. It
have 25 bullets in real life, but in game have an incorrect 30 rounds
magazine. It is the only Auxiliary weapon with a scope and the only
weapon in game with a two-round bursts. Other fire modes are single
shot and full auto. Is fitted also with a vertical grip for better
holding of the weapon

Description: This machinegun was adopted by the US military in the early 1990's
and comes equipped with a 200-round box. The most significant
difference between this and the M60 is the ammo size. It may pack
less of a punch, but has greater accuracy and distance over the
M60
How to get: Complete the Kemsynth Tower under 2:42
Comment: This is one of the most useful weapons in game for its 200 rounds
magazine and very elevate fire rate. However "lacks" of power, scoring
a IV of V. Reloading the weapon require more time because LMGs in game
have own reload animation. In actual game never appear as pickupable
weapon, only as unlockable. Is a perfect weapon for mass elimination
also for the low frequency of reload of the 200 round magazine

Capacity: 16 (24)
Total Ammo: 24 (32)
Description: The shotgun is designed for personal defense role and fires 12
gauge shot through a narrow choke. The narrow choke prevents the
shot from spreading out too far so most of the shot will hit a
single victim out to the weapon's effective range. The advantage
to this is instant incapacitation due to the powerful force
transferred from a close group of projectiles. The victim is
usually thrown back quite a distance, which is very intimidating
to any other enemies in the area
How to get: Complete Sana Yemen under 3:39
Comment: This is for sure the most difficult weapon to unlock for the immense
difficulty of the mission, not only that must be like a perfect frame
timing, but also because the very high precision of enemies, also if
there a lot far and Stone seems to take a lot less damage before to
die than Gabe or Lian, plus the last two enemies are guys with
extended health and SMAWs. However this shotgun isn't a big deal, is
just like others. Can be pick-upped in Episode 5, Part 1

Description: This is an improved M16A1 with a heavier barrel, built in flash
suppressor, and is set to fire single shot and in 3-round bursts.
The A2 is the current service model of the US military and it gave
soldiers fighting the second Gulf War the advantage over the AK-47
because they could dig in outside the effective range of the enemy
and pick them off with little fear of being hit by the inaccurate
Iraqi weapons

Description: The M4 Carbine is a shorter and lighter version of the M16A2
assault rifle, achieving 80% parts commonality with the M16A2. As
with many carbines, it is handy and more convenient to carry than
a full-length rifle. While this makes it a candidate for non-
infantry troops, it has also been used by United States Special
Operations Command (SOCOM) and others seeking a compact weapon for
close quarters combat. This is the preferred weapon of the US
Special Forces
How to get: Destroy ALL 5 DU Containers in Episode 4, Part 3
Comment: The M4 is the newer model of the Colt's assault rifles that replace
the M16. The M4 exists mostly in two models: M4 (longer barrel) and M4
Carabine (short barrel). The Carabine was created for the Close
Quarter Combat (CQC). Shorter barrel means faster movement for its
less weight and major mobility. Of course is less accurate at longer
distances. The M4 features also a telescopic rifle butt

Based on a system developed in the 1980's, which utilizes the gun
recoil and inertia of the moving parts to operate the action, the
M1 is simple and reliable in operation
How to get: Destroy ALL 5 DU Containers in Episode 4, Part 1
Comment: The M1 Super 90 is produced by Benelli, an Italian manufacturer.
Benelli Armi produces mostly shotguns. The M1 Super 90 is maybe one of
the most known weapon of it. The M1 is actually replaced by the M3
Super 90, the evolution of this shotgun. In game features an incorrect
number of shells, six. In real life the military version features

stabilized high-explosive rocket. Agents are cautioned to be a
safe distance away from the target to avoid becoming collateral
damage
How to get: Destroy ALL DU Containers in Episode 4
Comment: This is the most "broken" weapon in game because not only ironically
you can survive also with three missiles in the face, but also because
if you are quite skilled you can make "jumps" to reach non regular
places or skip parts of level. For example you can skip practically
entirely the first level. Is easy. In the first section eliminate the
guard and the sniper, then destroy the barrel and go to the ladder to
the left. Now turn about of 180°, you should see the part when you
must climb the ladder to open the valve. Now run-up and aim to the
ground and when you have reached near the finish of the roof shoot
with the SMAW, you should "fly" to the part of turn the valve on.
Congrats! You skipped like the half of the level! This is only one of
the possible skips with SMAW. Now the ammo amount is less unrealistic,
you can transport "only" five missiles and every one shot you must
reload, unlike Omega Strain that have five missiles per reload, what
an unrealistic thing

the world's most prolific small arms. It has been used in hundreds
of countries and conflicts since it's introduction 1947. This is a
truly legendary weapon, known for it's extreme ruggedness,
simplicity of operation and maintenance, and unsurpassed
reliability even in the worst conditions possible
How to get: Do 25 Headshots In Episode 6, Part 1 in Hard mode
Comment: The iconic AK-47 is present once again in this series, but the model
of the weapon ported from Omega Strain is in reality an AKM, one of
the hundreds, if not thousands of reproduction. This Soviet rifle is
very deadly due the big ammunition that use, the 7.62x39. AK-47 and
own reproduction are always a lot reliable and very low cost. The AK-
47 is known also for its proprieties of durability, shooting also
underwater without problems and is near impossible that jams. For
scoring head shots easily use the EDT/EPDD method, just hit the enemy
and when will die for some reason you will have scored a head shot

Comment: Nothing to add, it is just the silenced version of the standard M4

easy to control while firing one handed. This version has been
fitted with a silencer
How to get: Get the first stealth combat specialist rating
Comment: This is the silenced version that can be used by any of the Main
Characters. It is a lot more useful than the standard TEC-9 for two
things: because of course is silenced and have to addition the full
auto firing mode. In real life this can be possible also without
modification to the firearm, meanwhile isn't inexplicated why the
silenced version can have a full auto fire mode in game. As said for
the standard TEC-9 can be done modifying the weapon. A possibly can be
that developers didn't know that TEC-9 can be silenced and so can be a
"modification" like the full auto fire mode. The "Ripper" haven't a
silenced version

Action Express, that uses in fact the Desert Eagle) make an appearance
of all of the available calibers also in Dark Mirror. This time in all

Magnum version in game have a silencer. In real life is also possible,
using an extended barrel like in Omega Strain and Dark Mirror. It have
a correct amount of bullets, eight. Also if is a very recoiling weapon
can be dual wielded being a Sidearm weapon. All "Desert Snipers" have

Description: This amazing piece of technology is capable of shooting two darts
attached to a long wire with amazing accuracy. This weapon uses a
special recoiling the quickly rewinds the wire for a second shot.
The EPDD has increased stopping power due to advanced Electro-
muscular Disruption Technology (EDT). This weapon has higher
instant incapacitation rate than most 9mm pistols and injury will
occur if the individual is over stunned. Caution most be observed
with this weapon. It is known to set assailants on fire during
sustained stunning. The EPDD has a range of 200 feet
How to get: Get the fourth stealth combat specialist rating
Comment: The EPDD is the enhanced version of the EDT. It works the same, the
only difference with the EDT is the range. The EPDD have practically
an infinite range, hitting always the enemy from every distance if is
far till 60 meters. This can be the original Taser, but in previous
games the range was for real infinite. If the enemy was on the map,
you was able to hit him. This is also for the Omega Strain version.
The only cons is that you can't hit enemies with flak jackets, needing
to shoot to head or superior/inferior limbs. When you obtain this, the
EDT is replaced and you don't can use it anymore. Interestingly the
EPDD will be usable by Gary Stoneman when unlocked. You kill Mara
Aramov if you are very good! As the EDT can be used for scoring head
shots in Hard Mode

Description: This weapon is a product of research and is one of the most
advanced weapon ever made. The main demand behind it's development
was the need for a rifle with high hit rate. The C11 uses
specially designed caseless ammo that consist of a ball round
embedded into a solid propellant. Because of this the C11 can fire
a 3-round burst before the rifle has a chance to recoil. This
ensures that the entire burst will hit their mark exactly where
the user intended. The IPCA version of the C11 has an integral
scope and has a 50-round magazine capacity
How to get: Get the third combat knife specialist rating
Comment: This weapon is always appeared from Syphon Filter 2, assuming the name
"H11" in PlayStation titles and "C11" from Omega Strain. It have
always an incorrect 50 rounds magazine (the K2 should have 45
instead). Also if the description says that the recoil happen every
three shots, is in reality false, because in all fire modes the recoil
is clearly visible. Have a fixed scope with three levels of zoom

Norinco is a Chinese manufacturer that reproduce famous weapons under

How to get: Get the fourth combat knife specialist rating
Comment: The acronyms explanation is wrong. The "M" refers to "Mini", that is
"false" because own official acronyms is in fact "Multi Grenade
Launcher". Apart this the Dark Mirror version was a lot worse, because
for some reason can have only one grenade per reload. As the SMAW is a
"broken" weapon, because also this can make explosive jumps to reach
places and it is a lot more powerful. If you aren't careful this can
kill with only one grenade also for some bosses. However you can use
an infinite health code for jump in places. The max ammunition is five
grenades, not fulfilling the cylinder. As other explosive weapons can
be used for glitching the tank battle of the "The Trojan Horse" level,
shooting own grenades over the wall that hide the tank. If the
grenades hit the tank will be displayed the amount of destroyed parts
of the tank

vastly superior to the 9mm round. This weapon fires from a closed
bolt which allows for perfect accuracy while firing semi auto.
It's ergonomic design makes it easy and comfortable to fire and
helps add to it's deadly accuracy

Comment: This is the my favourite weapon of all time for its unique things like
the strange positioned 50 rounds magazine. It can be dual wielded in
real life, but is really difficult to handle two of them. It uses own
ammo, the 5.7x28 ammunition, that is slightly more powerful than the
standard 5.56x45 NATO due have armor piercing capabilities as the
Five-seveN (SP-57 in game). Also if Fabrique Nationale want this
ammunition in the NATO, this isn't not happen yet, because one of the
reasons is because the diameter of the bullet is too similar between
the two, making competition between these two ammunition. This is one
of the most "weird" SMG ever made for various factors like the
weapon's shape or the system of bullet injection in the weapon. Have a
very elevate number of rounds, fifty. This record can be broke with
Calico firearms, where can have also 100 bullets per magazine thanks
its helical system

Comment: This is clearly a fictional version of the Calico M950 that shots
explosives! In real life I'm sure that is impossible this thing. This
is also one of the most useless weapons because before to kill an

Description: The Desert Pistols are the only gas-operated pistols in service
and the .50 caliber is the most powerful. The Desert Express is
often referred to as a hand cannon due to it's size and the power
of the round. Only users experienced with great recoil forces will
be able to handle this weapon effectively. Anyone hit within it's
effective range will be knocked to the ground instantly even if
they are wearing heavy armor
How to get: Get the fourth survival specialist rating
Comment: This is the most powerful weapon in game that isn't an explosive
weapon. The .50 AE Desert Eagle is the most powerful pistol in the
world and have a tremendous recoil, and if you aren't enough strong to
handle this you risk also of break the your wrist. However you can use
two too in real life, always if you have very strong arms to handle
them. In game have a correct amount of bullets, seven. As other Desert
Eagles have an extended barrel and a scope. Everyone will die with
just one hit of course. If dual wielded you will able also of kill
bosses with "only" four or five hits per pistol. However there is
really the 1% of chance that the enemy will survive with a shot of
this weapon. The .50 version is also a lot more powerful than the M82
BFG! With the M82 very often enemies will survive also if uses
gigantic .50 rounds! What a contradiction. In real life is more more
and more powerful, being also a bullpup type, then longer barrel and
more firing power

Comment: One of the most useless weapons. Have a correct two shells per reload
(in Omega Strain was six shells for some reason, an impossible thing)
and ultra-short range. It have a more tight range than other shotguns
and is really effective if shot very close of course. Can be dual
wielded being a "Sawed-Off Pistol", but this make the things worse

How to get: Get the fourth tactical combat specialist
Comment: The Jackhammer is a very rare weapon in media. It is an unconventional
shotgun that have a 10-shell drum mounted rear the trigger, making
this one of the many, if not only shotgun with a bullpup system. It
can fire only in full auto and in real life have also the "Bear trap"
feature, that consist to attach the magazine to a detonator and when
is the time triggering it for shot all of the ten shells at the same
time, causing immense damage. In Dark Mirror this fictional variant
have only eight shells and fire in a very slow full auto mode. It it
the most destructive weapon in the game and is very deadly, most times
you will die together enemies due its big spread. If you are very
lucky you can survive by an accidental shot make too near

How to get: Get the first tactical combat specialist
Comment: This is an another signature weapon of the series. Uses own name as
Omega Strain and it is very very deadly. It shots an extreme fast (for
a shotgun) full auto mode and nothing can be survive at this,
including the major part of bosses. It had always an incorrect amount
of shells. In real life have a 20-shells drum by default or 10-shells
magazine, meanwhile in Syphon Filter games have a drum with 12 shells
in PS1 titles and 28 shell in Omega Strain, a bit unrealistic. However
in Dark Mirror the drum capacity is even less than PlayStation titles.

How to get: Get the third tactical combat specialist
Comment: This is the supreme sniper rifle. Also if uses the big .50BMG
ammunition in game still can't kill the enemy with one bullet most
times. It is the only weapon in game that is capable to shot two
enemies with one bullet. When an enemy is hitted this will literally
fly for great distances. This time the weapon will have a correct 10
rounds magazine instead of Omega Strain that have the half, five. The
suffix "BFG" can be a reference to the "Big Fuc@&$* (you know what I

ammunition, the .41 Action Express (AE). It is the less powerful
version of the .50 AE of course, but still more powerful than a 40
Smith & Wesson (S&W). This is a very deadly weapon in Dark Mirror (as

could also be used as a makeshift weapon
How to get: Get the third combat sharp shooter rating
Comment: The flare gun is a Jerico 941 in game, sharing in fact the same model.
It is a strange weapon because its function vary between original PSP
NTSC-U release and PSP/PS2 releases. In the first this is a very very
useful and deadly weapon, because in the PSP USA you can burn enemies
with one flare, starting to scream for the burn and then die, scoring
also an environmental kill. In other releases the own function will be
removed, working like any other pistol. Here can set in smoke enemies
and stop, without killing them due the lack of flames and then not
scoring an environmental kill. Both Jerico 41 and Flare Gun have
glitched model in pre-mission weapon selection for PSP releases

Clip Size: 25
Capacity: 50 (75)
Total Ammo: 75 (100)
Description: The Galil project began after the Six-Day War, and the design was
select by the Israel Defense Forces from two competing designs.
The winner was based on the Finnish RK 62, a variant of the AK-47.
The Galil was designed to be a domestically-produced, main battle
rifle for the IDG, taking the best features of other rifles, such
as the M16 and AK-47, and putting them into one rifle
Comment: The Galil AR is produced in two calibers: 5.56x45 and 7.62x39. In game
is used the version with the larger caliber being the number of
bullets right, twenty-five. It uses STANAG magazines, but of course
aren't thirty due the bullet is big. It have this increment of five
bullets due its curvature. 7.62x51 NATO STANAG magazines aren't curved
so have only twenty bullets per magazine

Description: This is a rather inaccurate and difficult to handle weapon that
makes up for it's inaccuracy with a high rate of fire. Although
very capable of dealing massive damage in a short period of time,
it's sheer size and weight hinder mobility
Comment: The Minigun appear again in Dark Mirror. This time is a lot less
powerful, but still can kill very fast. The ammo pool is very very
reduced, only 200 bullets (100 per reload). It have the reload
animation from any assault rifle/SMG and you will walk very slow as
the enemy with it. However equipping an another weapon you can walk
normally like if you haven't it. It have also the three classic fire
modes: single shot, three-round burst and full auto. Logan will be the
only person that can't reload it due the lack of replenishing crates.
Very often the amount of bullets in the "magazine" is 62 when pick-
upped. You can use the same glitch for obtain the flamethrower. The
principle is the same, reach the checkpoint, commit suicide, retry the
mission and kill the enemy with the Minigun. When you will pick up the
key to Zhou's room, he will drop also his M-134 Minigun

safe distance away from the target to avoid becoming collateral
damage. The SMAW Anti-tank fires rounds specially designed to
penetrate heavy tank armor
Comment: This weapon appear only in one level, in "The Trojan Horse" and it is
used
for destroy the tank of course. It is the real most powerful weapon,
destroying and killing every thing with only one missile. For sure if
this
version was available also in other levels can kill bosses with "only"
one

The AU300 H-BAR fires from a closed bolt position making single
shots extremely accurate
Comment: This is the most powerful assault rifle in game, and have Light
Machine Gun purposes as said in the description. It can kill very
easily, requiring max three hits to kill a standard flak jacked enemy,
meanwhile less than ten shots for heavy armored enemies. It is one of
the most known bullpup weapons of all time. The AUG was produced also

standard issue in the Soviet Army. it is essentially an AK-47
assault rifle with sturdier receiver, heavier and longer, non-
detachable barrel, and re-counter wooden buttstock
Comment: The RPK is an another famous variant of the AK-47. It assume the role
of a Light Machine Gun and in real life is very often fitted with a
biped for increasing precision when you are crouched or lying. The
Dark Mirror appearance is with a very long magazine, implying that is
a high capacity magazine. Instead no, the bullets per magazine are
"only" forty. This is a discrepancy, because the Chinese Type 56 in
game have the same magazine length of its original weapon, the AK-47,
but have 50 bullets, ten more than the RPK. This long magazine should
be like a 50/60 rounds magazine

cartridge that is easy tend quick to replace. All the user has to
do to take out a rioting crowd is hold the trigger and swap across
the crowd. After a few seconds most individuals will flee the
scene or be incapacitated. Due to it's lethality and changing
times, this weapon is no longer considerated for riot control and
is likely to turn up in the hands of organized criminals or
terrorists
Comment: If the USAS-12 is a deadly weapon, this is even more deadly. It have a
12-shell drum, that is correct. In game then have more shells than its
direct opponent. However have the half of the fire rate, but still
sufficient to kill enemies very fast.

widely used and copied across the former Warshaw pact countries
and is still in service with the Russian Army and many Russian law
enforcement agencies
Comment: Soviet made weapons are always a lot powerful, using large calibers
for practically every weapon. The 7.62x54R ammunition is bigger than
the standard 7.62x51 NATO, then is more powerful and have still the
same amount of bullets per magazine. Regularly is ten rounds. As Omega

Comment: Called "Flame Thrower" in original PSP USA release, appear again in
Syphon Filter games, ironically the first time appear for a boss, Red
Jack and Logan in the following level will say the same. It won't kill
instantaneously, but slowly and if you will roll the damage is really
low. It have also three modes of fire: single shot, three-round burst
or full auto. However at the side of the weapon the isn't the bar that
display the current fire mode, maybe because isn't programmed that you
can use it. In weapon selection instead there is that bar, but every
time that you will change it won't till you don't re enter in the
menu. If used in the following level the model will be invisible, but
still completely usable. In the game, there are two guys with a
flamethrower: Red Jack and an enemy. The Red Jack's flamethrower is
unobtainable (in the Demo, you can use it) but the enemy flamethrower
is obtainable. For use it, reach the door for enter to the greenhouse
and when the Checkpoint is reached, commit suicide. When you restart
the mission, the guy is still here and kill him, so he will drop his
flamethrower. However this glitch can be performed only with PSP

Description: The Desert Sniper .357 is a long range high powered sniping pistol
with a 10 inch barrel extension and mounted scope. The .357 Magnum
round makes this weapon difficult to handle for novice users, but
with practice, the user can hit long range targets with deadly
accuracy
Comment: The "least" powerful Desert Eagle uses .357 Magnum rounds, but aren't
the ones for a .357 revolver. In fact are "special" made bullets, more
short and then less powerful than a .357 revolver. As other two in
game variants have extended barrel and a scope with three levels of
zoom. This time the amount of rounds is incorrect, eight. A real
life .357 Desert Eagle have nine bullets per magazine. Is used only by
enemies in later levels and can't be unlocked unlike the other two,

have become very popular military and law enforcement firearms,
being exported in more than 50 countries
Comment: This weapon is fully usable in online, meanwhile in single player is
used by Addison Hargrove in Episode 3, Part 2. With a glitch you can
use it for a short amount of time before to restart from checkpoint.
This is very easy and don't require the "reach the checkpoint and
commit suicide" method. Just attend that Hargrove is killed or kill
her and she will drop own pistol. This can made also the first time
that you play the level, or rather, no restart from checkpoint.

Comment: The Makarov PM is a Russian made pistol that uses an uncommon variant
of the 9mm cartridge, the 9x18 Makarov. The caliber is even more
powerful than the standard military 9x19 Parabellum, meanwhile the
civil 9mm is the 9x21. The caliber and weapon was created in fact by

Description: The MAK-10 was originally developed in 1964. it's simple, low-cost
design with few moving parts gives the MAK-10 a reputation for
being extremely reliable and easily manufactured. However, the
combination of it's small size and high rate of fire make it
rather undesirable as a military weapon. This variant is chambered
for .45 ACP rounds
Comment: The MAC-10 is an iconic weapon between gangs for its easy handling and
for the easy concealment. It is also very accurate also if is a SMG
with the dimension of pistol in terms of length. It can have also very
extended magazine or also Beta C-Mag drums. In Dark Mirror appear two
calibers: .45 ACP and 9x19 Parabellum. The .45 version is for some
reason a Sidearm weapon, meanwhile the less powerful 9x19 is an
Auxiliary. The .45 being a Sidearm can be dual wielded. In real life
is very easy however. Always this version have also an extended barrel
and a vertical grip, that will be unused when it will be dual wielded.
The last difference with the 9x19 version is the fire modes, just
three-round bursts and single shot

Description: The MDS-7 essentially operations like a scaled-down assault rifle.
If fire a specially designed round with a muzzle velocity nearly
as high as the 5.56x45mm NATO round used by many modern rifles.
There is a drawback, however the round is comparability smaller
than a 9mm sized bullet, meaning less stopping power
Comment: The MP7 returns as Sidearm weapon and featuring a 20 rounds magazine
(40 rounds magazine exists, but is visible from the handle, not
happening in Omega Strain), rendering the weapon model more authentic.
It uses a relatively small caliber, the 4.6x30. Also if is small, have
armor piercing capabilities in real life. Being a Sidearm weapon can
be dual wielded, not impossible in real life due its very low recoil.
In game isn't so useful this weapon and is perfect to kill groups of
two or three people. Have also the three fire modes of any other
SMG/assault rifle in game, single shot, three round burst and full
auto

Capacity: 60 (90)
Total Ammo: 90 (120)
Description: The MAK-10 was originally developed in 1964. It's simple, low-cost
design with few moving parts gives the MAK-10 a reputation for
being extremely reliable and easily manufactured. However, the
combination of it's small size and high rate of fire makes it
rather undesirable as a military weapon. This variant is chambered
for 9mm rounds
Comment: The other variant is the 9x19 Parabellum. It have the classic and
original design, no extended barrel and vertical grip. Also if is less
powerful it is an Auxiliary weapon and of course can't be dual
wielded. It have also the third fire mode, the full auto. It have an
incorrect mount of bullets, 30. In real life this version have 32
bullets in a magazine

Description: The MDS A3'S accuracy, reliability, and wide range of accessories
and variants have made it the submachine gun of choice for
military and law enforcement agencies worldwide
Comment: What the game calls "MDS A3" is in reality the world famous MP5. The
unsilenced version is called correctly "A3", but it is just a name
change in game because both uses the same model and the silencer (not
visible as the TEC-9) is the only difference between the two versions

Description: The Spectre SMG was developed in the mid-1980s. The Spectre was
designed primarily for close combat, anti-terror at short range
Comment: The Spectre is an Italian manufactured weapon that uses a very unique
bullet loading system. It have a 50 round magazine with practically
the same size as a standard 30 round magazine. This is possible thanks
to the casket magazine, that have a quad-column load system instead of
the classic dual-column. In Omega Strain is said that holds the
correct 50 round magazine, but in game have a 30 round one, like Dark
Mirror

December 2003, the Israeli military announced that it was
completely phasing the Uzi out of use by it's forces but would
continue to manufacture the weapon for both domestic use and
export
Comment: Called UG-9 in the original PSP NTSC-U release, is a weapon produced
by IMI, the same producer of the Desert Eagle. It holds a correct
amount of bullets, thirty-two. Unlike Omega Strain don't appear (also
if obtainable only through cheat devices) the .45 ACP version, that
exists also in real life. The UZI exists also in a smaller version,
called in fact Micro-UZI

Comment: These grenades don't cause physical damage, but electric things will
be unusable for a little amount of time. In game are majorly used to
deactivate the EMP armor. When explode also the your equipment and
darts will be suffer for this amount of time. If you will try to use
goggles you will be flashed in white, blinding in real life. You can
use goggles only if was the last used gadget, meanwhile you can use
without problems the PID. These are used also for destroy computers in
Episode 7, Part 2. In online the own function is also to slow the
enemy team for certain game modes, as well disarm mines in the amount

Comment: The smoke grenade appear once in story mode. It is launched by the
enemy at the top of the plane in Episode 2, Part 1. In online can be
found in crates and isn't very effective due opponents are real
persons, not AI like Omega Strain where this grenade was overkill.

Description: Laser trip are incendiary mines that, when detonated, create a
fire blast of up to 40 feet from the position of the mine. Laser
mines can only be deployed onto a vertical surface
Comment: This is a very infamous weapon due it is near invisible. Only
experienced players will find them easily. However is easy to spot at
the end. Just watch walls, and if you will find some grey thing is a
laser mine. Them can be viewed also with EDSU Goggles. With them will
be viewed too the laser's line, in yellow. Laser mines can be
destroyed by shooting or disarmed. For disarm one, go very close to
it, but be careful, you can be killed by it and press Up/Triangle (Up
for PSP and Triangle for PS2). The process is short, but made this
when you have killed everyone in the area for a major security. At
this point you can transport till three and place everywhere you want,
but must be a vertical surface or the mine installation isn't
possible. The red reticle means that the installation point isn't
valid, meanwhile when is green you can place it. Once installed you
can walk without problems, now are the enemies that must be careful!
When you install one the reticle of the weapon will be the same as you
aim to civilians/teammates

Description: While it may look the real MB-150, this rifle actually fires
paintballs and is used as a training weapon by new IPCA recruits
Comment: Instead the Paintball Rifle, the clone of the MB-150, is only used in
the own training, the number three. Apparently can fire darts as well
the original weapon, but maybe this was done for demonstrating the
weapon's functions. In weapon menu you can still read "6mm rounds".
This is an error because fires paint, no real bullets

Description: While it may look like the real Mark 23 SD this pistol actually
fires paintballs and it used as a training weapon by new IPCA
recruits
Comment: This is the weapon used in combat simulations in Training 2, but is
present as well in Training 1. It is a clone of the Mark 23 SD but
fires paint. A strange thing is that in PS2 port paint marks on
Gabe/enemies are for some reason removed. However in PSP PAL still
there. An oversight is the end dialogue in PS2 port, that mentions the
paint also if isn't present, making this no sense. In PSP versions
there is an animation glitch when you take the weapon from the crate
in Training 2. Instead of the right animation there is the one that
Gabe is behind an enemy and snap its neck, maybe due an oversight. The
Paintball Gun being used only on trainings is the only sidearm weapon
that can't be dual wielded

Clip Size: 1
Capacity: 3

Description: The M79 fires a variety of 40mm grenade cartridges, but the most
commonly used one is the M79 Fragmentation Grenade Cartridge. This
grenade is filled with Composition-B and has a kill radius of 5
meters, but can substantially wound and incapacitate out 15
meters. The M-79 is a break-open weapon that fires from the
shoulder and requires reloading after each round fired
Comment: The true M79 was appeared already in Omega Strain as the last
unlockable for grenade kills and in Ukraine was used by enemies too.
In PS1 trilogy the M79 was in reality a Tru Flite 37mm Super Long
Range Gas Gun, that is incapable to shoot explosive grenades, but only
gas grenades, as the name implies. The M79 appear for the first time
as online exclusive weapon and is unchanged from Omega Strain,
shooting correctly one grenade per reload, not unlike PlayStation
titles that was a "bottomless" magazine

Caliber: 7.62x51
Clip Size: 40
Capacity: 120
Total Ammo: 160
Description: This is an M60 that has a forward grip that helps stabilize the
weapon during sustains firing. This weapon has been the US Army's
general purpose machine gun since the early 60's and it uses the
same feed system as the German WWII M642. The M60 maintains it's
accuracy during sustained fire due to better barrel design that
vents the hats away more efficiently. This model comes fit with a
100-round belt that is stored in an ammo box attached to the feed
system
Comment: The M60 appear with a very and incorrect low ammo amount, only forty.
Its description says that is a 100 round magazine, making this an
error
Weapon Name: C8 Rifle

Total Ammo: 30
Description: The C8 is a scoped rifle, ideal for picking off targets from a
distance. With a muzzle velocity that is much higher than that of
many other sniper rifles, the C8 can deal massive damage even from
very long range
Comment: The Heckler & Kock MSG90 appear thrice in Dark Mirror and this make
this weapon the one with most variants, also if there are just two
that shots real bullets. This time the role of the weapon is an
ordinary sniper rifle, not an "assault sniper rifle". Here is very
very less powerful, requiring many shots before to kill an enemy. It
have now a correct 10 rounds magazine and not the older very
unrealistic 50 rounds one, in real life is quite difficult to
transport a magazine with this capacity due own weight. The own one
shot, one kill, always accurate (is near impossible to miss an enemy)
and the very high amount of bullets made this weapon the best in Omega
Strain. Always in Omega Strain its fire rate depends on how fast you
press Square, meanwhile in Dark Mirror was very reduced to rendering
it the same as others. Always in Dark Mirror have own unique red
tinted telescopic scope

Total Ammo: 60
Description: The DSC-1T is a sniper rifle equipped with a thermal scope capable
of detecting heat sources of up 200 feet away. It has a heavy and
long barrel and uses a four-groove polygon system which reduces
bullet friction. This, combined with the long and heavy barrel,
allows the bullet to reach higher velocities and have a much
better effective range. It's very useful in thick fog or heavy
smoke, allowing the sniper to see concealed targets clearly
Comment: Makes the own first appearance in Omega Strain only in Minsk level and
was the only weapon that had a thermal scope. This is also the first
time that a thermal device is seen in Syphon Filter. In Dark Mirror
online is very very useful, of course because you can see through
walls, not being IR Goggles in online. It have a correct twenty rounds
magazine, a rarity for a sniper rifle and video games too

Comment: The AP Mine is the most deadly mine in Dark Mirror. It have a very big
range explosion, killing also three or more enemies with only one
mine. The installation is long, then be careful to install it when you
are under fire. It is invisible to naked eye, then enemy placed ones

Comment: The Claymore is a mine that works in a strange way. Practically if you
are behind the blast radios of the mine, you won't be hurt at all also
if you are at one centimeter behind of it! The claymore can kill just
one or if you are lucky two enemies at once. The installation is very
very quick as the removal. Them can be activated only by the own

Description: This assault rifle is a modified M16 that fires .45 caliber pistol
rounds from a closed bolt, improving it's semi-auto accuracy.
Specific ammunition, called Glazer Rounds, are used in this
weapon. The interior of a Glazer bullet is filled with buckshot
sealed by a breakaway plastic cap. This cap bursts upon impact
causing the buckshot to tear apart unarmored flesh
How to get: Reach the O2 Rank
Comment: This is the my favourite fictional weapon of Syphon Filter ever. It
fires .45 "Glazer" bullets. This is an obvious reference to "Glaser",
the designer of the "Glaser Safety Slug", that also match the
description of the "Glazer" round of this rifle. It have also a scope
and the sound of the weapon seems silenced, or these bullets are sub-
sonic. Being an assault rifle can shoot in three fire modes: full
auto, three round bursts and full auto. Also if fires .45 bullets that
are smaller than a 5.56x45, still have a 30 round magazine capacity

How to get: Reach the R3 Rank
Comment: For sure due an oversight the "SPA-12" (that is a faked name for the
Franchi Special Purpose Automatic Shotgun (more known as SPAS-12),
isn't the Italian shotgun, but in Dark Mirror appear as the Browning
Over and Under Shotgun. It fires 5 shells per reload, an impossible

notice. -- Gabe Logan
Comment: In terms of game history, this is the penultimate enemy to kill. He
use a M-134 Minigun and have extended life plus flak jacket. Do
attacks when he reload and use the powerful Desert Sniper .50 dropped
by an enemy (or if you like to risk take it from the crate opposite
the enemy spawn) for kill him easier

hidden evidence. You can pick-up this going in section of the turret
and going to the left near a fence. Climb and go to the corpse. A
cutscene will play and you will able to open this door. If you are

Comment: There are three Data Drives located on crates. Use EDSU Goggles for
easy recognize. Be careful, use stealth kills for not alert enemies
and then recover the Data Drives faster. If you have acquired all of
the three when enemies are alerted, you need to kill all of them for

Weapon Name: AU300 Mod-R
Real life counterpart: Steyr Mannlicher Armee Universal Gewehr (AUG)
Type: Back/Assault Rifle
Caliber: 5.56x45
Description: The SteyrAUG-HB is an assault rifle. It has severe recoil and may
be difficult to control. It is has a scope
Comment: Also if the description says that is the H-BAR, is in reality a Mod-R.
This is one of the tons of leftover of Omega Strain. This version
maybe was removed due like a duplicate
Weapon Name: Combat Shotgun
Real life counterpart: Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta 1201FP
Type: Back/Shotgun
Caliber: 12 gauge
Description: The Combat Shotgun, with its full-length barrel, is geared more
towards relatively longer-range shooting. The full-length barrel
prevents the shot from spreading out into a wide pattern over
short distances
Comment: The "Combat Shotgun" should be appeared also here, but was removed,
maybe because there is already the Shot Defender, making virtually a
duplicate. Leftover from Omega Strain
Weapon Name: Riot Shotgun
Real life counterpart: fictional
Type: Back/Shotgun
Caliber: 12 gauge Bean Bag
Description: Riot shotgun 12 gauge Bean Bag - This is a modified combat shotgun
that fires non-lethal bean bags instead of standard shot
Comment: Non-lethal weapons are absent in Dark Mirror (the Tasers don't count).
This Omega Strain leftover is a strange one, there aren't non-lethal
kills badges or special objectives unlike its predecessor
Weapon Name: SSG 550 Sniper
Real life counterpart: Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft 550 Sniper
Type: Back/Sniper Rifle
Caliber: 5.56x45
Description: The SSG 550 Sniper is a good short- to medium-range military
marksman rifle or police / antiterror rifle, capable of quick and
accurate follow-up shots
Comment: Unfortunately the SIG SG 550 Sniper isn't available in game.
Ironically this weapon is hidden in Omega Strain, but usable through
cheats or Magic Box Trick. This is one of the my favourite rifles of
all time
Weapon Name: VSS-DU
Real life counterpart: Vintovka Snayperskaya Spetsialnaya Vintorez
Type: Back/Sniper Rifle
Caliber: 9x39 DU (fictional Uranium bullets)
Description: The VSS-DU is a prototype variant of the standard VSS or Vintovka
Snaiperskaja Spetsialnaya (Special Sniper Rifle). Although it
lacks the silenced firing capabilities of the VSS, it's been
chambered for a larger round with even greater stopping power than
that of the standard VSS
Comment: The standard model of the Dark Mirror VSS is present in game files.
This maybe should be intended to the VSS-Special in Dark Mirror, or
the second entry isn't explicable. The Dark Mirror description is
taken from the original Omega Strain one, slighted modified for
talking about darts system. In Dark Mirror uses same bullets as the
MB-150, a 6mm round. In real life (and correctly in Omega Strain) use
a very large round made by Russians, the 9x39. In Omega Strain there
are two variants: VSS-DU that fires fictional 9x39 Uranium bullets,
meanwhile the VSS- Special fires standard 9x39 bullets. The two rifles
differs two things: the Special have a metallic stock and a standard
scope, meanwhile the DU have a wooden stock and a nightvision scope
Weapon Name: TH3 Blaster
Real life counterpart: fictional
Type: Back/Other
Caliber: Thermite
Description: TH3 blaster - The projectile impacts with a hard surface, then it

Mirror, but as like other unfortunately not
Weapon Name: Riot Pistol
Real life counterpart: Schweizerische Industrie-Gesellschaft Sauer P229
Type: Sidearm/Pistol
Caliber: 9mm Rubber Bullet
Description: Riot pistol 9mm Rubber Bullet - This pistol serves as a non-lethal
means to incapacitate
Comment: Second non-lethal weapon, of course removed for some reason. In Omega
Strain is available only in Zurich level
Weapon Name: Dormagen Gas
Real life counterpart: M1917 Chemical Hand Grenade
Type: Grenade/Grenade
Caliber: Dormagen
Description: DormaGen gas - Victims will fall unconscious
Comment: As other non-lethal weapon is removed. Leftover from Omega Strain
Weapon Name: Incendiary Grenade
Real life counterpart: M47 Grenade
Type: Grenade/Grenade
Caliber: Petrol
Description: The Incendiary grenade canister has a bursting radius of 15 feet
and produces intense heat and flame that cannot be extinguished,
even if submerged in water. This is a dual-purpose weapon that
serves to provide cover or to incinerate enemy personnel or assets
Comment: This grenade isn't present in the online as well, should was a really
good weapon in matches also as seen in Omega Strain isn't so deadly
because you will burn slowly and rolling will extinguish flames
Weapon Name: M61 Frag Grenade
Real life counterpart: Mk2 Hand Grenade
Type: Grenade/Grenade
Caliber: N/D
Description: The M61 frag grenade is filled with composition-B and has a kill
radius of 15 feet, but can substantially wound and incapacitate
out to 25 feet. The frag detonates upon impact with any hard
surface
Comment: The M61 explode at the impact, meanwhile the M67 after a delay. I like
more this version because the enemy haven't a way out, but also more
deadly due the instant explosion
Weapon Name: Tear Gas
Real life counterpart: Sting-Ball Grenade
Type: Grenade/Grenade
Caliber: Tear
Description: Tear gas (CS) - Any personnel exposed will be nearly incapacitated
due to uncontrollable coughing and tearing of the eyes
Comment: Another non-lethal weapon, another removal. In Omega Strain is
ironically hidden and usable only with cheats/Magic Box Trick
Weapon Name: Claymore
Real life counterpart: Mohawk Electrical Systems M18A1 Claymore
Type: Grenade/Mine
Caliber: Explosive
Description: Triggered explosive - This is a serious military application for
C-4. The Claymore mine is a few pounds of C-4 embedded with 700
steel ball bearings. Upon detonation, the Claymore blasts ball
bearings in a 50 degree arc away from the mine and will kill
everything within 50 feet. Anyone unlucky enough to be caught in
the blast will not survive
Comment: This removal can be explained because that the Omega Strain Claymore
can be positioned only in scripted places in Myanmar mission, not in
every place as Dark Mirror online and always here must be activated by
a trigger
Weapon Name: C4 Detonator
Real life counterpart: fictional
Type: Grenade/Other
Caliber: N/D
Description: C4 Detonator. This is used to trigger C4 explosives
Comment: Same as the Claymore of Dark Mirror the C-4 in Omega Strain must be

armour piercing Tungsten/Steel alloy

due the new style of pointing
Gadget Name: X-Ray Goggles
Description: X-Ray goggles allow the user to see through many solid objects
Comment: These goggles was hidden and unusable as well in Omega Strain. Also in

Weapon Name: MB-150 Silenced
Real life counterpart: Heckler & Koch Militarisch Scharfschutzen Gewehr 90

Description: The MB-150 is the standard IPCA sniper rifle. It has the ability
to fire specialised darts that can be triggered by the user at any
time. This version has been fitted with a silencer
Comment: This weapon is a contradiction. In Training 3 Logan complain that the
MB-150 isn't silenced, but why? Because is unusable! It have the same
description, the only adding is in fact that is specified that is
silenced
Weapon Name: Impact Flame Grenade
Real life counterpart: unknown

Description: The Shoulder-launched Multi-purpose Assault Weapon fires an HEDP
fin stabilised high explosive rocket. Agents are cautioned to be a
safe distance away from the target to avoid becoming collateral
damage
Comment: This third variant is unknown for what was intended. It shares the

this should be a non-lethal variant or one that cause even less damage
Weapon Name: Big Game Gun
Type: Back/Shotgun
Caliber: maybe 12 gauge
Real life counterpart: unknown
Description: This big game hunting gun is capable of destroying nearly anything
it's aimed at with one shot
Comment: This is an another shotgun available in game files. As the description
says should be the most powerful shotgun in game

Description: When deployed, this device emits a variety of sounds designed to
attract the target's attention
Comment: Maybe an early version of the Sensor dart or a possible version if the
singleplayer. However is unused. It have a description too
Dart Name: Taser
Description: None
Comment: The Taser dart can be an early version of the EDT dart as seen for the
Decoy dart. It can be also a non-lethal EDT dart, because is said in
Training 3 by Teresa that them are lethal
Gadget Name: Long Range Electronic Surveillance Device (LRSED)
Description: The Long Range Electronic Surveillance Device (LRESD) fires a
special tracking & explosive dart. Use to track and eliminate
special targets

Description: KemSynth Security card. How many damn security cards does this
place need? Seems like every door, elevator, locker and chimney

operation. --Gabe Logan
Comment: All of the extra cards are from KemSynth levels. Then, how many unused
door are there?
Object Name: Security Card 7
Type: Object/Card
Description: TranEuroTram security card. These security cards might do a hell
of a lot more good, if the security personnel stayed alive long
enough to use them. It seems that terrorists and thugs have no

Bullet Name: 6mm rounds
Description: The standard issue 6mm rifle round is designed for long range
accuracy
Comment: 6mm rounds and darts have unused descriptions. Is strange that are
present, because you will never have them in weapon menu in pause menu

Description: The EDT dart delivers a highly charged electrical shock which will
eliminate any target silently
