Weaponry....

An assortment of different keys, a bundle of flares and perhaps a medi pack or two (if you're lucky), Yes we can only be talking about the wonder that is Lara's Backpack.  The leather-bound bottomless pit known as the backpack has amazed and astounded gamers since day one.  It just defies the laws of physics... The backpack has been home to many an artefact (for a short period of time of course, they now sit proudly at home in Lara's trophy room), but what really packed a punch was the weaponry concealed within...  

Lara's default weapons are non-automatic single shot hand guns.  Very reliable but cause limited damage.  Five shots will kill a small animal, around 15 for a person.

Finally, automatic pistols that cause massive damage due to rapid firing.  Most effective at close range.  One clip provides 80 shells, but these are discharged very quickly.

The 50. Magnum is the largest calibre semi-auto gun in existence.  It will stop almost anything.  Similar power to a shotgun, but with faster reloading times.

Fully automatic assault rifle.  Is very accurate over long distances, less effective at close range.  Better used as a sniper rifle.  One clip contains 40 bullets.

The only weapon usable underwater.  Harpoons are hard to come by, so use sparingly.  Especially as a frogman usually takes 5 harpoons before croaking.
