Pistols
Magnums / Automatic Pistols
Uzis
Shotgun
M16
Grenade Launcher
Harpoon Gun
Flare (not strictly a weapon, but treated similarly by the engine)
Black Skidoo

The file cfg/weapons.json5 contains properties for these weapon types, each described in the table below.

Property	Type	Description
`aim_speed`	Integer	Determines how quickly Lara's arms rotate into position when aiming at a target.
`damage`	Integer	The HP damage value to subtract from targets when struck by this weapon type. This value is doubled when playing either `Japanese` or `Japanese NG+` modes.
`draw_frame`	Integer	For rifle type weapons, the relative frame number of the equip animation where the object mesh swap is performed e.g. removing the shotgun from Lara's back and putting it in her hand.
`equip_anim_idx`	Integer	For rifle type weapons, the relative equip animation index of the associated object e.g. `O_LARA_SHOTGUN`.
`flash_pos` / `flash_pos_alt`	XYZ	Specifies the offset position where the weapon flash object (`O_GUN_FLASH` / `O_M16_FLASH` / `O_FLARE_FIRE`) will be drawn. `flash_pos_alt` is used only for discarded flares.
`flash_shade`	Integer	Specifies the shade applied when drawing the weapon flash object (`O_GUN_FLASH` / `O_M16_FLASH` / `O_FLARE_FIRE`).
`flash_color`	Float array (length 3)	Specifies the color applied when drawing the weapon flash object (`O_GUN_FLASH` / `O_M16_FLASH` / `O_FLARE_FIRE`), used in TR3 lighting system.
`glow_color`	Float array (length 3)	Specifies the color applied when drawing the weapon glow object (`O_GLOW`), used in TR3 lighting system.
`glow_pos`	XYZ	Specifies the additional offset to apply to the glow sprite position.
`flash_time`	Integer	Determines the number of frames to show the weapon flash object (`O_GUN_FLASH` / `O_M16_FLASH`) after firing a weapon.
`muzzle_pos`	XYZ	Specifies the additional offset to apply to the muzzle for smoke effects (right hand).
`muzzle_pos_alt`	XYZ	Specifies the additional offset to apply to the muzzle for smoke effects (left hand for dual pistols).
`smoke_count`	Integer	How many smoke effect instances to spawn upon shooting.
`shell_pos`	XYZ	Specifies the additional offset to apply to the gun for shells (right hand).
`shell_pos_alt`	XYZ	Specifies the additional offset to apply to the gun for shells (left hand for dual pistols).
`gun_height`	Integer	Used to determine the start Y position when firing a weapon, and to determine if Lara is too far submerged in water to be able to use a weapon (other than the harpoon).
`is_available`	Boolean	Determines if a weapon can be given to Lara when using item cheats. Pickups for unavailable weapons/flares will still work normally.
`left_angles`	Integer array (length 4)	These values determine if Lara has lost target on her left arm.
`lock_angles`	Integer array (length 4)	These values are used to test if Lara is able to lock on to a target.
`pickup_qty`	Integer	The amount of ammo given for the weapon when equivalent ammo object is picked up.
`pickup_qty_alt`	Integer	As per `pickup_qty`, but this applies exclusively to flares when playing Japanese NG.
`recoil_frame`	Integer	For pistol type weapons, this value determines when Lara should snap back to the aiming frame after the weapon is fired i.e. Uzis have a lower value than Pistols for faster fire rate.
`right_angles`	Integer array (length 4)	These values determine if Lara has lost target on her right arm.
`sample_num`	String	The sound effect to play when the weapon is fired (see ./11-SAMPLES.md).
`shot_accuracy`	Integer	Adds a random factor to angles used when firing a weapon. Higher values mean less accuracy.
`target_dist`	Float	The maximum distance (in world sectors) that a target can be from Lara in order for her to lock on.
`type`	String	The category that determines how the gun is handled. Accepted values are as follows. `WEAPON_TYPE_DUAL_PISTOLS` `WEAPON_TYPE_SINGLE_PISTOL` `WEAPON_TYPE_RIFLE` `WEAPON_TYPE_MOUNTED`
`undraw_frame`	Integer	For rifle type weapons, the relative frame number of the unequip animation where the object mesh swap is performed e.g. removing the shotgun from Lara's hand and putting it on her back.
