Weapons
From the Mirror's Edge Wiki
Although Mirror's Edge is about Free Running, the game does have an aspect of first-person shooting. These firearms provide a ranged attacks for both Runners and Blues. Packing powerful firepower, all firearms are painted black, making it look dangerous and fearsome compared to the colorful and clean environment. Since Runners must be agile, they often don't carry weapons, forcing them to disarm Blues to get one. Also, because there is no time to search for extra ammo, the only ammunition is in the clip already in the gun the Runner picks up.

[edit] Sniper Rifles
[edit] Barrett M95

[edit] Shotguns
[edit] Benelli M3 Super 90

[edit] Neostead 2000
The Neostead is a more complex shotgun found and used in-game. It is more smaller in its body, thus making it more compact when traveling. Nonetheless, it is still powerful to enemies in close range.
[edit] Submachine Guns
[edit] B&T MP9
The MP9 is a small and compact SMG that has a very high rate of fire. With it being light, the damage is low compared to other weapons. However, its clip size and fire rate makes it easier to use.
[edit] H&K MP5
The MP5 is a Sub Machine Gun made by the weapon company Heckler & Koch. Seeing much effectiveness in their Assault Rifles, H&K began manufacturing smaller arms to be as effective yet more compact. The MP5, using the G3 (their Assault Rifle) base and layout, is a similar weapon more compact and used 9mm pistol bullets. This is proved to be really useful as in weight and maintains a tough firepower.
[edit] Pistols

[edit] Glock 18
The G18 is another pistol type that allows automatic (and burst when fired one by one) fire, a special feat the other pistol doesn't have. This pistol can put down attacks more quickly and even more effective against a larger number of enemies with its slightly large clip capacity.
