I'm not exactly gun-savvy, but I poked around to see if I could find pics of the Smith and Wessons'.

A pretty handsome looking weapon, if I may so so. It seems like these guns are very customizable, as the guy who posted this picture was talking about how he changed the grip and the barrel had been modified somewhat. For all I know, this is something easily done with all handguns/revolvers, but I noted it anyway.

Here's the M500 from Smith and Wesson. Once again, I found models bearing the same number sporting different barrels. This barrel was pretty common in the image search:

These things are seriously MEAN looking guns, lol!

Nice pic of the Dragunov SVD. My personal favorite rifle. :)

Couldn't find much on the S75 rifle.

The Ithaca M37 (another favorite for me!) was easily found. Seems there are two versions, the wood grain-type grip being the standard, and the black ensemble being used primarily by police as a riot gun (I guess it's more lightweight than the standard?)--that's okay. Chris can handle the heavier model, bwa ha ha. . .

Actually, the AK74 is a separate gun. =)

Different barrel, different magazine and it's longer unless you get an AK74U:

My favourite is the SIG556:

Great gun. Especially with the EOTech Holosight!

I was wondering. Most of the time enemies won't die with one shot in the head. Will they take more damage though?

I'm going to guess no, it'll still take the same amount of shots
