Guns in Dirge of Cerberus -Final Fantasy VII- can be customized using different frames, options, accessories, and barrels. Which accessory is used where changes the stats of the weapons, so this is a major part of the gameplay. Weapon upgrades and parts can be bought at shops throughout the game, which are shaped as jukeboxes, and at the end of every Chapter. The following is a list of all the various equipment that can be used in the game:

There are seven statistics that determine the effectiveness of weapons in Dirge of Cerberus. All of the stats are maxed out at 500 and can only go as low as 0, except Weight.
| Stat | Description |
|---|---|
| Weight | This determines how fast Vincent can run while in shooting mode. The higher the Weight, the slower Vincent moves. Oddly, it does not affect his speed while the gun is at his side. |
| Speed | Determines the rate of fire. |
| Power | Determines the damage done by the gun. |
| Range | Determines the distance that a shot from the gun can travel. |
| Short | Accuracy at short range. |
| Medium | Accuracy at intermediate range. |
| Long | Accuracy at long range. |
Handguns are the most balanced guns in the game, decent at any range.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cerberus | 540 | 80 | 60 | 60 | 110 | 115 | 70 | 1000 gil |
| Cerberus II | 540 | 80 | 105 | 60 | 110 | 115 | 70 | 2000 gil |
| Cerberus III | 540 | 80 | 105 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 5000 gil |
After the third upgrade, the Cerberus can travel one of three paths, the Power Cerberus, the Speed Cerberus, or the Medium Cerberus. The two major Guns, the Griffon and Hydra follow similar branching paths. As its name implies, this path focuses on power over the other two stats.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| P Cerberus | 540 | 55 | 145 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 10000 gil |

| Powered Cerberus | 420 | 55 | 205 | 60 | 140 | 145 | 80 | 26000 gil |
The path focuses on speed over the other stats.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S Cerberus | 420 | 95 | 105 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 10000 gil |
| S Cerberus γ | 420 | 115 | 105 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 17000 gil |
| Zero Cerberus | 120 | 125 | 105 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 26000 gil |
This path is a balance between the Power and Speed Cerberus, not really excelling in either but also not having a serious weakness. It also has a high ammo count.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M Cerberus | 420 | 80 | 110 | 60 | 120 | 125 | 75 | 10000 gil |

| Quantum Cerberus | 240 | 80 | 120 | 60 | 130 | 135 | 80 | 26000 gil |
This is the most powerful weapon of the Handgun type, though first the player must upgrade a few very weak, seemingly joke weapons. It is not related to the Cerberus branches.

Machine Guns work as their real-world counterparts. They are very effective at close range against several opponents thanks to their fast Speed, but their recoil and weight make them difficult to use at long range. They also have very low power.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Griffon | 1050 | 150 | 25 | 20 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 1000 gil |
| Griffon II | 1050 | 150 | 35 | 20 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 2000 gil |
This path favors the power stat.

| Dueling Griffon | 1050 | 130 | 75 | 20 | 90 | 80 | 45 | 26000 gil |
This path favors speed and low weight. It also has the highest range of all the Machine Guns.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| S Griffon | 810 | 200 | 35 | 20 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 5000 gil |

| Sonic Griffon | 300 | 200 | 35 | 40 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 26000 gil |
This path strikes an effective compromise between power and speed.
| Gun | Weight | Speed | Power | Range | Short | Medium | Long | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M Griffon | 900 | 150 | 35 | 20 | 65 | 55 | 20 | 5000 gil |

| Starry Griffon | 300 | 150 | 50 | 20 | 75 | 65 | 35 | 26000 gil |
This weapon, unrelated to the Griffon branch of Guns, does not have very good stats, but is useful in its ability to knock down nearly all regular enemies.

Rifles are slow weapons but are very precise and accurate. They have excellent range and work very reliably at long range. Combined with the Sniper Scope, they are the perfect weapon for long range combat.

| Hydra III | 1050 | 65 | 160 | 150 | 125 | 125 | 150 | 5000 gil |
This branch focuses on power over the other stats. These weapons have very small magazines and are incredibly slow, thus limiting their usefulness.

| Gigant Hydra | 1050 | 1 | 280 | 200 | 160 | 160 | 180 | 26000 gil |
This branch focuses on the Speed and Weight stats, thus weakening Power. But it is more balanced than the Power Hydra.

| Feather Hydra | 30 | 125 | 130 | 170 | 125 | 150 | 170 | 26000 gil |
The most balanced of the three branches. It is the only one of the three branches that does not sacrifice some stats to boost others.
