Handguns are small firearms which are usually held by one hand in their default form.

The perfect stealthy short-range weapon, a throwing knife can be cold-wrought from spring steel by any skilled metalworker. Melee weapons are weapons used in hand-to-hand combat, usable melee weapons in Metro games include various knife variants. Below is a list of weapons in all Metro games grouped by weapon class. A wide variety of weapons are available that can be separated into several classes. It's possible that, as Artyom was not a soldier before joining the order, he didn't know the exact names of the weapons, but when he joined the Rangers, his knowledge of weapons increased, so he started to recognize the specific weapon models.Īs all Metro games (These include Metro 2033, Metro: Last Light, and Metro Exodus) are first-person shooters, weapons play a significant role in them. In Metro 2035, the weapons used by the Rangers are said to be silenced AK-74s. In Metro 2034, Hunter carries a bulky pistol which is implied to be Stechkin APS. The weapon carried by Bourbon and some Hansa guards is most likely AKS-74u ( "It was also a Kalashnikov but it was cut-off like the ones held by the Hansa border guards, with a hinged butt and a short socket instead."). VDNKh convoy guards are said to carry "bulky military 7.62 calibre "machine guns" with wooden butts" which are probably AKMs, RPKs or perhaps (although this is unlikely) even PKs. Sometimes, however, it's possible to figure out what weapon is being described. In the novels, weapons are hardly ever referred to with their exact designation.
