Max Payne 3 weapons

Just as the former titles in the series, Max Payne 3 contains a wide range of weapons from various classes.

New game mechanics

Max Payne can now wield any two side-arms (similar or different) at the same time. Max can also use a handgun while wielding a bigger single-handed firearm, such as the sawed-off shotgun.

The "Weapon Wheel" firearm selection system is introduced.

Unlike the previous games in the franchise, Max Payne 3 limits the number of weapons the player can carry. Said limit is two single handed firearms and one two handed firearm. When dual wielding his two single handed firearms, Max will discard his two handed firearm.

Both Molotov cocktails and Grenades are thrown by the enemies that can be shot down while in air and exploded.^[1]
