Resident Evil: Fall of Lazarus takes a more realistic approach on weapons in terms of damage and how they function in real life when compared to other Resident Evil titles. Because of this, several "rules" to weapon stats are included in the game.
Notable mechanics[]
General differences[]
In general, the firepower of weapons attempt to reflect how much damage they would do in real life; perhaps the most obvious example is the assault rifles dealing far more damage than in other Resident Evil titles and magnums dealing far less. Furthermore, the rate of fire on nearly all weapons is dramatically increased, although firing most weapons at full speed very often causes accuracy to suffer due to recoil, while the reloading times are also increased (thus giving noticeably slower reloading speeds).
Reloading and Capacity[]
Many weapons will have a different capacity depending on when they are reloaded. These weapons will have one extra bullet if reloaded mid-magazine, but will not have that extra bullet if reloaded before being empty. This is because in many firearms, a shot is loaded into the chamber of the weapon right after the previous shot, unless there is no shot left to be loaded.
Many weapons also reload somewhat more slowly if reloaded after being empty, due to the weapon being needed to be cocked.
The reload times of the M3 and M1014 vary depending on how many shots have been fired between reloads, as each shell or round needs to be loaded one at a time.
Speed Penalty[]
Many weapons possess some sort of speed penalty that will cause the player character to walk more slowly by a certain percentage. It should be noted that all handguns do not have speed penalties.
Carry Limit[]
There is limit to how many weapons a character can carry at a time, and as such, he/she must discard a weapon should he/she reach the limit and wish to acquire something else. Because of this, the same weapon can appear multiple times throughout the story to allow a character to pick it up should he/she have discarded it earlier. Each character can carry up to two two-handed weapons (Automatics, Shotguns, Rifles, the Rocket Launcher) and one Magnum. Each character's Handgun cannot be discarded and does not take up any sort of inventory slot. When items are dropped, they can be picked up again.
Target types[]
The amount of damage most weapons deal depend on the type of target. Enemies can either be Fleshy (Thin), Fleshy (Thick), Bony, Pistolproof, or Rifleproof. All enemies have different parts of the body as different target types. For example, a DarkRain Sergeant is Rifleproof on the torso, but Fleshy (Thin) at the head, neck and limbs.
Head Criticals are guaranteed to activate, but the target type of the head is determined whether or not Head Criticals can trigger. For example, most Handguns can trigger Head Criticals on humanoid enemies with Fleshy (Thin) heads, but cannot do the same to humanoid enemies with Pistolproof heads.
Enemies also possess weak spots that when successfully struck, receive a Vital Bonus, dealing four times the amount of damage the weapon would otherwise deal. Like with the Head Criticals however, a Vital Bonus can only be triggered depending on the weapon and the target type.
Some weapons can pierce through Fleshy (Thin) enemies, while only the Leader 50 can pierce through most target types. For weapons that can pierce through only Fleshy (Thin) targets, any secondary target behind the main target will receive reduced damage from the shot that pierced through the main target. These weapons can only pierce through a single target, with the ability to damage up to two enemies at once in a single shot. The Leader 50 can pierce through two targets, allowing it to damage up to three targets at once per shot.

Weapons[]
Handguns[]
Handguns do not take up any inventory and cannot be discarded.
Hardballer[]
Hardballer
The Hardballer is one of David Chambers' starting weapons and is therefore exclusive to him. It possesses the highest firepower out of all of the handguns, but the lowest capacity.

Thunder 9[]
Thunder 9
The Thunder 9 is one of Mary Gravling's starting weapons and is therefore exclusive to her. The Thunder 9 is very similar to the 909 in terms of firepower and capacity, although it possesses a greater capacity while being slightly weaker.

909[]
909
The 909 is the starting weapon of Jill Valentine and is therefore exclusive to her. The 909 is very similar to the Thunder 9 in terms of firepower and capacity, although it possesses slightly greater firepower while having a smaller capacity.

Five-seveN[]
Five-seveN
The Five-seveN is the starting weapon of James McGrath and Yvonne Aiken, and is therefore exclusive to them. The Five-seveN is notable for having several advantages and disadvantages when compared to the other handguns. In terms of advantages, the Five-seveN is the only handgun to be able to score Head Criticals on DarkRain forces wearing helmets, possesses the greatest capacity, has the least recoil and highest rate of fire, and will not alert the presence of enemies when fired from a distance, as it is suppressed, the last of which it shares with the 96A1. This makes the Five-seveN an incredibly effective weapon at taking out groups of unaware DarkRain forces, as the player can simply headshot each DarkRain soldier without being noticed. In terms of disadvantages, the Five-seveN is the weakest handgun in terms of base damage, and its ammunition is quite rare.

Ammunition gallery[]
Shotguns[]
All shotguns fire 8 pellets per shot. Unlike shotguns of most Resident Evil titles, the shotguns of Resident Evil: Fall of Lazarus possess considerably tighter patterns in their shots, making taking out groups of enemies at point-blank range borderline impossible. However, this also allows all pellets to strike the target at close ranges, dealing maximum damage to individual targets at such ranges. Also due to the tighter patterns, all shotguns have substantially longer effective ranges as the pellets do not spread too radically beyond point-blank range.
Saiga-12[]
Saiga-12
The Saiga-12 is a semi-automatic shotgun and is one of David Chambers' starting weapons. Compared to the M1014, the Saiga-12 possesses a slower rate of fire, but has a greater capacity and reloads substantially more quickly.

M1014[]
M1014
The M1014 is a semi-automatic shotgun that can be found in the story of James and Yvonne. The M1014 fires more quickly than the Saiga-12, the other semi-automatic shotgun, but takes much longer to reload and has a lower capacity.

Automatics[]
FNC[]
FNC
The FNC can be found among defeated DarkRain agents in the stories of David, Mary, James, Yvonne, Dom and Chie. It possesses great firepower at a high rate, making it a very effective weapon against most enemies.

M4A1[]
M4A1
The M4A1 appears in the story of Jill and Jane as starting weapons. More can be found from the corpses of BSAA SOU operatives. Like the FNC, the M4A1 possesses great firepower at a high rate.

MP5K[]
MP5K
The MP5K is one of Chie Chau's starting weapons and is therefore exclusive to her. While suppressed, the MP5K will alert enemies when fired, but said enemies will not immediately know of Chie's position. The MP5K cannot be discarded from Chie's inventory and is considered a two-handed weapon. Because of this, Chie is limited to one additional two-handed weapon she can store in her inventory. When she obtains the Leader 50, this weapon cannot be removed from her inventory either, leaving her unable to pick up any additional weapons until she gives her Leader 50 to Mary.

Leader 50[]
Leader 50, without scope
The Leader 50 is an exceedingly powerful semi-automatic rifle that is found in the story of Dom and Chie. When obtained, Dom and Chie cannot rid the weapon from their inventory. In the story of David and Mary, Dom and Chie will hand their Leader 50s to the former two, freeing up their inventory for their own story later on. The Leader 50 utilizes two types of ammunition, the .50 BMG FMJ and the more-powerful but much rarer .50 BMG Anti-Synth Ammo, the former of which can pierce through a single enemy to damage up to a total of two in a single shot, and the latter of which deals immense damage to a single target. Switching ammunition will cause the player character to reload.

Magnums[]
Magnums are substantially weaker in Resident Evil: Fall of Lazarus when compared to magnums of other Resident Evil titles. Because of this, ammunition for them is much more plentiful and characters can carry more of the types of magnum ammunition at a time. They are notable for being effective against Bony enemies.
Anaconda[]
Anaconda
The Anaconda is one of Jane's starting weapons.

Coonan[]
Coonan
The Coonan is the other starting weapon of both James and Yvonne. It is by far the weakest magnum but also possesses a respectable rate of fire, with recoil that is just slightly worse than that of the Hardballer.

Grenades[]
Hand Grenade[]
The Hand Grenade functions very much the same way as it has in other Resident Evil titles, except it deals substantially more damage. The center of the explosion deals 3,000 damage, while the rest of the explosion deals around 500. Because of this, Hand Grenades are also much less common in comparison.
Flash Grenade[]
The Flash Grenade functions nearly identically as it has in other Resident Evil titles, dealing 1 damage upon detonation and stunning anyone/anything nearby.
Other[]
Knife[]
The Knife, like those of other Resident Evil titles, is a melee weapon used by most characters in the game. Dom and Chie are the only two characters to not possess a knife and instead have their own unique melee method or weapon, respectively. The Knife deals 50 damage per swing against all targets except for Rifleroof targets, which cannot be damaged by the Knife.
Wakizashi[]
The Wakizashi is Chie's melee weapon. It is far superior to the Knife, dealing 400 damage per swing against all target types except for Rifleproof targets. Instead, Rifleproof targets receive half the full damage at 200.
Electric Burst[]
Electric Burst occupies the melee slot for Dom. When the button normally used for the knife is pressed, Dom releases a burst of electricity from his body in all directions, dealing 300 damage per strike and can lead to a Melee combo, depending on what part of the body of the enemy that was struck. Electric Burst does not need to be "readied" like a knife and Chie's Wakizashi do. It does, however, possesses even less range than the knife does and can therefore only damage enemies that are very close to touching Dom.
Gatling Gun[]
Gatling Gun
The Gatling Gun is a weapon that is used by DarkRain Machine Gunners. When a DarkRain Machine Gunner is killed, the player character can retrieve its Gatling Gun. The Gatling Gun is absurdly powerful, dealing incredible damage with individual bullets at an extremely high rate of fire, but prevents the user from performing melee attacks, drastically slows down the player character, and cannot be reloaded, rendering it useless once all of its ammunition is used up.

Rocket Launcher[]
Rocket Launcher
The Rocket Launcher appears in the story of James and Yvonne. It is the most powerful weapon in the game and deals a lot of splash damage with each rocket. Rockets, however, are very rare.
