Rifles
FN SCAR
The FN SCAR is the latest generation Battle Rifle, which is interesting because in recent years the development has been in Assault Rifles firing smaller intermediate cartridges. The FN SCAR H fires the 7.62x51mm round that is used in many western military sniper rifles. It is also very possible it is the FN SCAR L which fires the smaller 5.56x45mm round. This appears to be the rifle used in Mirrors Edge when Faith prevents the soldier from shooting her with it, this is very noticeable with in the buttstock area.
H&K G36C
The G36C is a carbine chambered in 5.56x45mm NATO. It is used by militaries and police forces around the world so its not surprising to see it being used by the police in Mirror's Edge.
Sniper Rifles
Barrett M95
The M95 is a bullpup bolt-action sniper rifle chambered in 12.7x99mm NATO (often known as .50 caliber). It is a very high powered rifle capable of penetrating light vehicle armour .
Shotguns
Benelli M3 Super 90
The Benelli M3 is an interesting weapon, it is in many ways an evolution of the Franchi SPAS-12 with the ability to fire both in Pump Action and Semi Automatic. This appears to be the shotgun used in Mirrors Edge when Faith kicks it out of the soldiers hands and cracks him in the head with it.
Neostead 2000
The NS2000 is a 12-gauge pump action shotgun. It is bullpup in design and has two separate 6 shell magazines. It can also fire less-lethal baton rounds in lieu of 12-gauge buckshot or slugs.
Submachine Guns
B&T MP9/TMP
The MP9 is a submachine gun chambered in 9mmx19 Para. It is highly compact and very controllable in full auto fire. The design was owned by Steyr-Mannlicher of Austria but was sold to Brugger and Thomet of Switzerland in 2001.
MP5K-PDW
The MP5K-PDW is a modified MP5, it is a personal defense weapon and is used by police and armies across the world. This gun uses the popular 9mm pistol round, the MP5 has 3 fire modes, Single, Semi-Auto or Full Auto.
Pistols
Beretta 92
The Beretta 92 has been adopted by the United States military as the standard 9mm sidearm. It is generally considered a reliable handgun. This appears to be used in Mirrors Edge when faith leaps off the edge and is firing at the soldier.
Glock 18
The Glock 18 is produced by the Austrian weapons manufacturer Glock Ges.m.b.H. The Model 18 is a select fire pistol (meaning it can fire in fully automatic or in semi automatic modes) that, when in full automatic mode, can fire with a blisteringly fast cyclic fire rate of 1100 - 1200 rounds per minute. Because of this fire rate, it is available with an extended magazine of 33 rounds compared with the standard 17 round magazine that most Glock 17's (the non select fire counter part of the Glock 18) in 9mm ship with when laws restrict the availability of High Capacity magazines.
Heavy Machine Guns
M249-Saw
This light machine gun is used by the US military. The 5.56x45mm ammunition combined with fully automatic make this an extremely powerful weapon; however, it is also very heavy (weighing around 22 pounds/10 kilograms, including 200-round ammunition belt and ammo box). This weapon is usually mounted on a vehicle of some sort or is mounted using a bi-pod. This gun fires 750-1000 rounds per minute and its effective range is 1000m.
