The only way to describe this gun is to think of the Ghostbusters gun - backpack and attached tube which fires out beams of intense energy which gib enemies in seconds. I'm not sure myself what it's exact name is, but I'll call it the Egon because that's what the game source files call it. The next weapon in Category 4 has been referred to both as the Egon and the Gluon gun. Beware, though, if you do not fire a fully charge shot but instead keep the button held down, it will overcharge and cause damage to you! This shot will kill almost any monster, and take out heavy armour such as a helicopter. Primary fire shoots rapid shots using up one "unit" of energy ammo, but by holding down the right mouse button, the gun starts charging up, and when fully charge (using 13 shots) letting go of the button causes an extremely powerful shot to be fired. It is an experimental weapon developed by the Black Mesa scientists, and to give an idea of it's power, it can take out helicopters. When you pick this up you realise Half-Life is a very different game from what you are used to.

The second weapon in Category 4 is the Gauss Gun. Primary fire shoots the rocket, and secondary fire turns on or off the laser pointer which can be used to guide the rockets in flight, if for example you shoot a target which then moves, you can use the pointer the keep the rocket on track. Ammo is generally scarce, but thankfully no enemies use it against you. The reload time is appaling, but unless your target is a helicopter, you shouldn't be in any trouble because of this. It is incredibly powerful and can (and should) be used to take out tanks. The first weapon in Category 4 is the Rocket Launcher, or RPG. Primary fire shoots the bolt, and secondary fire activates the zoom. The reload time is low, but since you should be using this from far away, hopefully it won't be too much of a problem. It holds five bolts at once, each of which is well capable of killing practically any basic enemy. This is no medieval warfare weapon, in fact it's bang up to date and is definitely the best long range killing device in the game. The last weapon in Category 3 is the Crossbow. This weapon is found reasonably early on in the game. The reload time is very low, and 125 shells can be held in reserve. It holds 8 shells at once, with primary fire firing one shell and secondary fire performing a " double blast" using two shells. One of the best close range weapons in the game, but almost useless at a long range. The second weapon in Category 3 is the Shotgun. The MP5 is one of the most useful guns in the game. Ten of these grenades can be carried at once. The primary function is rapid fire bullets, and the secondary fire is an underslung grenade launcher, firing grenades which explode on impact. It is a sub machine gun which holds 50 rounds with a reserve of 250 (it uses the same bullets as the pistol). The first weapon in Category 3 is the MP5. It has no secondary function except in multi player games where right clicking activates a sight. It holds 6 bullets and has a reserve of 36 rounds. It is basically a revolver, but it has enough power to take out quite tough enemies. The second weapon in Category 2 is the magnum. It is useful for killing headcrabs, like the crowbar, but luckily at the time the game throws harder things at you, you will have some better guns. The pistol holds 17 bullets in a clip and has a reserve of 250 bullets. It has two methods of fire, primary (left clicking) which fires the bullets quite slowly and secondary (right clicking) which fires bullets twice as fast but has a reduced accuracy rate. It is picked up very early on in the game. The first weapon in category 2 is the basic automatic pistol, also known as a Glock 17. It can be very useful for taking out headcrabs but apart from that it's only real use is smashing things in Gordon Freeman's way. It has no secondary fire, it is simply swung with the left mouse button. It is the first weapon found in the game and also features in the Hazard Course training area. The only weapon in Category 1 (in original Half-Life at least) is the crowbar.
