How to unlock the Roscoe And Friends achievement in L.A. Noire - Definitive Guide
Colt Official Police:
Used on the Patrol cases. As pointed out by AHGreg: The tutorial level where you have to shoot the bank robbers. Drop the shotgun you hold by default will allow you to shoot with the Colt Official Police!
Colt M1911: From traffic desk and the entire game on playing as Cole Phelps.
Browning HP: Jack Kelso wears it during his cases in Arson.
12 Gauge Pump Action Shotgun : You use it in one of the first cases where you stop a bank heist. Cannot be missed.
Thompson M1A1: Like the Piano Gun, but minus the drum cartridge.
Thompson M1928 (Piano Gun) : Can be accessed through your car trunk. Like the M1A1, but with a drum cartridge.
BAR: You see these ones in the last Vice case, but can find one in A Polite Invitation when you raid Monroe's mansion. Also: In the final mission several can be found in Hoogenboom's ammo stashes.
M1 Garand: Uncommon weapon. You can however find one in the Nicholson Plating case, in the final part where you fight the soldiers and arrest Mapes.
One or two soldiers carry a M1 with them with enough ammo. Don't worry when you kill all soldiers outside, as there are 5 to 6 soldiers in the hangar to fight off.
To be more specific: I am 99% sure one of the soldiers coming out of the first car riding in carries a M1 Garand.
Edit: Another place where you could get a shot (haha!) at using and finding the M1 is the Fallen Idol case, during the final stretch where a bunch of mobsters enter the movie set. A lot of them carry the rifle with them.
Hoogenboom's stashes in the final mission seem to be another place where you can find one.
Flamethrower: Part of the final part of the game. Cannot be missed, as it's part of the story.
Edit: It seems it can be missed by some players. If you follow this video from 5:33 until 6:41 it will show you the location of the flame thrower. :)
Thanks TruthfulSkate8

There's a total of 8 guns you can use in L.A Noire. Most of them you'll find early on, but some will not be available until the final lot of cases, so make sure you grab them! To pick up a gun, simply walk over it and press .
Here's a list of all the guns and their locations:
- .44 Magnum: This is your default gun while on the Patrol cases, though you'll only get to use it when on the 'Armed and Dangerous' mission. You'll start off with the shotgun, so simply drop it with and kill one of the robbers.
- 12 Gauge Shotgun: Most of the criminals use this throughout the game! You'll start with it on the case 'Armed and Dangerous'.
- Colt .45: This is your default gun when you get promoted to a detective. You'll get plenty of kills with it!
- Thompson SMG: The Thompson is everywhere and the criminals carry them around as a default gun in many cases.
- Tommy Gun (Rounded Ammo Barrel): These pop up once and a while, but you should come across some in the cases 'The Fallen Idol' and later on in the Arson cases when trying to get into Monroe's house. It sounds a little more louder than the Thompson.
- M1 Garand: Same as the Tommy Gun. You'll first come across this in 'The Fallen Idol' case when fighting your way out of the theatre and later on in the final Arson case 'A Different Kind of War'.
- Browning Auto-Rifle: You'll start to come across this while doing the Arson cases. A good place to pick it up is during 'A Different Kind of War'.
- Flamethrower: This can only be grabbed in the final case 'A Different Kind of War'. While in the sewers you'll come across a storage room which holds a few weapons inside. You'll need to find the second one of these, which holds the flamethrower on top of a box.
