Just a comment on Special Weapon 25 -- it is not in the "furthest back room". It is in a room about halfway back on the right side (facing the front door of the building).
Otherwise, great solution.

Weapon 27 was a bit misleading. He is talking about Juarez the city not Juarez the man (both of which happen to feature prominently in this chapter). So basically, it can be found once you climb the OUTER WALL of the city shortly after the start of the chapter. You'll know your in the right place because Jimmy will say something like "I hope there's water in that cistern!"
