The Handgun is found not long after Jill encounters Brad. It'll be found on an officer's body in the alleyway behind the pub. Very difficult to miss.

The Burst Handgun is a missable handgun that can be found by Jill in the Hospital's 'Sick Room' where Jill initially wakes up.

The Shotgun is found in the room across the hall from the Train Switch Puzzle It'll be found within a caged wall-rack. Requires the Bolt Cutters. Missable.

One of Carlos' two starting weapons is the Assault Rifle. But it can be upgraded three times.

The Magnum is a very missable optional weapon that can only be found playing as Jill after Carlos' Hospital segment. It is found within the Hospital Courtyard, which you reach by jumping through the window on the upper floor. There are two sides to the courtyard, but a moderately-sized utility crate will be seen.

It can only be upgraded once.

The Grenade Launcher is located in the Sewers, which is the next part of the game after Downtown. It's located in the lower-right part of the Sewers in the office safe room.

It cannot be upgraded, though it does have multiple forms of ammunition that can be found throughout the game.

I hope this guide helped you escape Raccoon City!

Throughout my time earning 11 Resident Evil platinum trophies — including 7 on console — I’ve written several personal guides to help myself along the way.
I'm happy to finally share some of that knowledge here, and I hope it makes your experience a little smoother.
