-----------------{Background Information}----------------
=========================================================
Syphon Filter 2, as the 2 implies, is the second in the series. The
first (Syphon Filter) game is pretty much the exact same as the second,
with 2 having slight improvements here and there, and an expansion on
weapons, and character manoeuvres.
989 Studios, who have an extensive collection of games, especially
sports, developed both Syphon Filter 1 and 2. Take a look at their web
page:

product would look like on GameFAQs. So, I have now changed the things
that were "not great", and it looks better now. ^_^

from 1 to 5. With 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. This includes
Fire Rate, Damage, Fun Factor, and Looks.
**********
=============
Combat Knife:
=============
This U.S. Marine weapon is designed for hand-to-hand combat. Use the
knife when you want to eliminate an enemy quietly.
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : I
You will not believe how much fun it can be to sneak up behind a foe
and slice their throat with a small knife until you have done so!
Although fun to use, the Combat Knife is rather boring and ugly
looking.
=====================
9mm Silenced Handgun:
=====================
This standard military sidearm is an excellent short-range weapon. It's
a lethal weapon in the hands of a trained professional.
Fire Rate : [][][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 15
Max Rounds : 90
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: I
Looks : II
Probably the most boring weapon in the game to use. Your basic pistol
does nothing special, and on top of that it is nothing special to look
at.
============
45 Handgun:
============
Developed in the days of trench warfare, this 1911 vintage design is a
double-action semi-auto weapon with strong recoil and tremendous
stopping power.
Fire Rate : [][]
Damage : [][][]
Clip Size : 10
Max Rounds : 60
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: III
Looks : IIII
These days you can't beat a weapon that looks like the Desert Eagle
from Tomb Raider! (My fave gun ever!) And can you really say no to
something that can make your most hated enemies fly into a wall?!?
===================
M-16 Assault Rifle:
===================
Standard issue for U.S. Military personnel, this combat proven
lightweight weapon is accurate and easy to control. M-16s fire a
specially designed small calibre, high velocity round.
Fire Rate : [][][][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 30
Max Rounds : 180
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: II
Looks : III
The good, old, everyday M16 Assault Rifle used for nailing bad guys the
world over. Not the most exciting of guns to use, but it's a machine
gun right?!? And, because it is a machine gun, it has to look/be
reasonably cool.
====================
G-18 Machine Pistol:
====================
A furious 60 round per second fire rate makes this machine pistol the
most lethal ever made. Note that the 33 round clip will be spent in 1/2
second of continuous fire. Don't get caught with an empty weapon.
Fire Rate : [][][][][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 33
Max Rounds : 198
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIIII
Looks : IIII
Wow!!! I love this gun! Quite possibly the best gun in the game for me.
It is unbelievably fun to run at your enemy with this gun blazing 60
rounds/sec and completely wasting them. Also, the G-18 reminds my of an
Uzi, and everyone knows what a cool gun the Uzi is!
=====================
BIZ-2 Machine Pistol:
=====================
This machine pistol is designed to maintain law and order in tight
situations. The horizontal clip design keeps the weapon compact and
easy to fire while holding enough ammo to pin down a platoon.
Fire Rate : [][][][]
Damage : [][][]
Clip Size : 66
Max Rounds : 396
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : III
Another fun-to-use gun. Very good for taking out large amounts of
enemies in a small amount of time. Due to it's high fire rate you can
easily kill a whole army of bad guys. And it doesn't look half bad
either, a tad futuristic if you ask me.
====================
HK-5 Machine Pistol:
====================
Favoured by special forces and terrorists alike for its compactness,
the HK-5 is fast becoming the most popular machine pistol around. There
are more than 23 customized variants and other customized versions,
some fitted with silencers.
Fire Rate : [][][][]
Damage : [][][]
Clip Size : 32
Max Rounds : 192
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : II
I like this gun too! Do you see a pattern developing? That is right, I
seem to have a liking for machine guns. Speedy firing rate and a cause
of great damage the HK-5 is fun to use. Shame about the looks though.
=================
12 Gauge Shotgun:
=================
This fully choked version maximizes accuracy and minimizes collateral
damage out to 25 yards. It is commonly issued to law enforcement, DEA
and Secret Service agents. At close range, nothing you could carry hits
harder.
Fire Rate : [][]
Damage : [][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 25
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : III
Average looking weapon, but with the firepower that it has, it really
can be quite a pleasure to have in your inventory. Another weapon for
splattering your enemy on a wall.
==========================
UAS-12 Rapid Fire Shotgun:
==========================
Delivers a pounding in close range combat against multiple targets.
Collateral damage was not considered when developing this weapon.
Fire Rate : [][]
Damage : [][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 12
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIIII
Looks : III
The UAS-12 looks very similar to an old fashioned Tommy gun with an M16
barrel, rather an interesting design. Boy does this gun pack power; you
could probably destroy a building with it!
=====================
PK-102 Assault Rifle:
=====================
This weapon is a variant of the popular Kalashnikov system (one of the
most widely used and modified designs in the world). This is a full-
featured assault rifle, but is easy to conceal which makes it popular
with terrorists.
Fire Rate : [][][][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 30
Max Rounds : 180
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : II
Lacking a wee bit in the looks category, the PK-102 just looks like
every other Russian gun. Aside from that set back, it is in fact, as
are most machine guns, very fun to use.
===================
K3G4 Assault Rifle:
===================
High fire rate and Teflon coated bullets designed to punch through most
flak jackets make this a weapon to fear and respect.
Fire Rate : [][][][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 20
Max Rounds : 120
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : IIII
Yay! Another gun that suits my taste. Yet another machine gun! With a
pretty high fire rate, this gun would be very average, but for the
decent damage that it causes, especially when multiple rounds are
fired. An exceedingly enjoyable choice of weaponry, and it looks cool
too!
=================
H11 Sniper Rifle:
=================
The H11 is a full auto-fire sniper rifle with a large clip and a non-
zooming scope. It combines excellent accuracy with a punishing rate of
fire.
Fire Rate : [][][][][]
Damage : []
Clip Size : 50
Max Rounds : 300
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIIII
Looks : II
A funny looking short-range sniper rifle. Upon close inspection the H11
really does closely resemble a TV camera. But with the extremely fast
firing rate it is incredibly fun to zoom in on a target and just spray
a barrage of bullets in their general direction.
=============
Sniper Rifle:
=============
This silenced rifle comes equipped with a classified digital scope
using basic optical character recognition. It is capable of classifying
human targets and identifying human impact points prior to firing.
Fire Rate : [][]
Damage : [][]
Clip Size : 10
Max Rounds : 30
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: II
Looks : II
The only reason the Sniper Rifle doesn't have an even lower fun rating
is because of the built in functions on the scope, which making picking
of foes slightly more fun. Also the gun is rather ugly, which lowers my
opinion of it.
==================
Nightvision Rifle:
==================
This rifle is capable of extreme accuracy. It is designed to strike
moving, stationary or camouflaged targets from great distances without
compromising the shooter's position. This model uses the SVDN2 night
scope and silencer.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][]
Clip Size : 10
Max Rounds : 30
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: III
Looks : II
"Why does the Nightvision have a higher fun rating than the Sniper
Rifle?" I hear you cry. Well simply because your enemies don't have a
hope in hell of getting you in the dark if you sit in the corner with
the Nightvision Rifle and snipe em off. But, sadly, the weapon looks
like a harpoon gun, which, I do believe, a Nightvision Rifle should not
look like.
=========
Crossbow:
=========
Quieter than a silenced firearm, this is the weapon of choice for
stealth operations. It fires a narcotics-laced bolt that can kill if
fired at the head. In manual targeting mode, the laser provides
excellent accuracy.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 5
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : III
New age and stealthy, the Crossbow is the most versatile weapon in the
game. You have the choice between killing someone and merely putting
them to sleep. The only disadvantage is the unbelievably slow firing
rate.
===========
Hand Taser:
===========
This non-lethal weapon delivers 80,000 volts of neutral chaos and will
drop a man instantly. Use the hand taser on people you want to
incapacitate without harming. You must get very close to the target
with this weapon and the element of surprise is crucial. It is best to
blind-side the target.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : Infinite
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: III
Looks : III
Looks can be very deceiving when it comes to tasers, they look
perfectly innocent, but when you turn your back, they are there, ready
to deliver a terrifying jolt of electricity through your body. It can
be quite enthralling trying to sneak up on an enemy and tase them while
they are looking the other way.
==========
Air Taser:
==========
Fire the CO2 powered air taser to lodge a probe into the target's body.
A wire from the weapon to the probe delivers a 500,000-volt shock.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : Infinite
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIIII
Looks : III
Whee! The only word to describe the Air Taser. Stand directly facing
your foe and send a small probe flying towards their body and lodge it
inside their body. Hold it there and watch em fry! Not many more fun
things to do than that. Not really much to comment on concerning the
looks rating, much the same as the Hand Taser.
*Note* To "fry" the enemy, when the probe enters the targets' body hold
Square, and wait for the flames! ^_^
===================
Incendiary Grenade:
===================
Upon detonation, this incendiary weapon spreads ammonium perchlorate
three meters outward from the blast point. It is instantly ignited by
the explosion and quickly burns out, torching anyone within the blast
area, but leaving minimum collateral damage.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 10
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : III
Nothing particularly special but does come in useful at certain parts
of the game. Also, they can be quite good fun to use on a batch of
unsuspecting guards. Not really much to say about the looks, just looks
like an everyday grenade.
==================
Nerve Gas Grenade:
==================
Releases trace amounts of Soman nerve agent. After exposed targets are
rendered unconscious, fatality follows in 15 minutes unless an antidote
is administered. The gas dissipates swift for fast entry into the area.
This will stun the agent for a brief moment if walked into.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 10
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: III
Looks : III
Just the same as the other grenades, can be slightly amusing to creep
up behind a group of enemies and blow-em up, but, the downfall of the
Nerve Gas grenades (in my opinion) is that nothing actually explodes...
As for looks, well, read above.
======================
M-79 Grenade Launcher:
======================
This deadly single-shot, break-barrelled weapon was used in the Vietnam
War and nicknamed the "Blooper." It fires 40mm high explosive grenades
capable of more than 300 fragments within a five metre kill radius. Its
range is up to 300 metres.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 15
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIIII
Looks : III
Can you say fun? I know I can! And fun is exactly what you get with the
M-79. Fire this at an enemy and don't expect to find a trace of them
afterwards. This thing literally blows objects to smithereens! Other
than the slow reload time (which is to be expected) this weapon rocks.
Looks rather similar to a shotgun with a hugely modified barrel, which
can't be a bad thing.
==============
C-4 Explosive:
==============
Called plastic explosive, C-4 can be moulded and stuck to objects. It
is then wired to a fuse and friction ignition device for detonation
from a remote or protected position.
Fire Rate : N/A
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : N/A
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: IIII
Looks : III
Laying down some plastic explosive and waiting for some poor,
unsuspecting bad guy, detonate the explosives, and watch your enemy
feel some pain. Looks a bit like a mini HAM radio, other than that, no
other looks to comment on.
==================
Tear Gas Launcher:
==================
Fires cartridges containing tactical CS riot agent. Use this weapon to
create confusion in situations where the opposition cannot be attacked
with lethal force.
Fire Rate : []
Damage : [][][][][]
Clip Size : N/A
Max Rounds : 5
Personal Opinion:
-----------------
Fun Factor: III
Looks : IIII
Not the most exhilarating of ways to "defeat" your foes. I say defeat,
because the Tear Gas Launcher does not kill, it merely confuses the
target/s. Although its functions may be slightly lacking, it does
however look rather cool and funky.
**********
Well that is the end of the main part of this guide. The only things to
appear after this are the "Things To Come" section, and the "Credits"
to those who helped me in the writing/editing of this guide.
