How to unlock the Well Equipped achievement in Contra - Definitive Guide
When arriving at the second tunnel, make sure you are always at the ground (Down button). Continuously shoot until the yellow boy appears. When he appears, move to the default position (not at the ground) and start shooting at the yellow boy. Grab the weapon he dropped and complete the section with that weapon. Do this for every section of tunnel 2 until the achievement unlocks or until you miss the yellow boy. If you miss the yellow boy and it is still possible to get 3 weapons total in tunnel 2, then continue. If it is not possible, restart the game and get to tunnel 2 again. Survival for this game will require some practice. You will need to know the spawn locations of all enemies for every level and you must know how enemies behave.

I found the best way to do this was to crouch at the far left side of the tunnel and keep shooting. 9 times out of 10 this is where the yellow guy spawns, meaning u kill him instantly! He can be quite hard to hit once he gets going!

Maybe you can edit your solution with Molloy's comment. That did the trick for me.

The 2nd tunnel is right after the waterfall level. To get a different weapon you must stay in a particular room until a yellow guy appears from the side, jumping up and down across the screen. He's not hard to miss visually, but he's difficult to aim at. Shoot him down and collect the weapon upgrade he leaves behind. This guy only appears once per room so make sure you get him when he comes out. Collect 3 upgrades throughout the tunnel for this achievement.
