Browning HP

The FN Browning High Power is Claire's initial starting pistol and is somewhat less effective than leon's VP70. Ada Wong, the supporting character of Leon has a Browning HP inside her Inventory but the operation in which she's uses it is different compared to claires.

The Browning HP carries 13 rounds of 9mm Parabellum handgun bullets and is just slightly stronger in firepower compared to Leon's VP70, however this strength in power is marginal. Claire's Handgun is at most useless on the Stronger B.O.W.s, it is only truly effective on Zombies and Cerebus Dogs. However Ada, operating hers different from clairs holds the gun at a slight angle, almost diagonal when she aims. For some reason she can fire her pistol faster than claires which makes it slightly better at taking out tougher enemies such as giant spiders in the sewers.

At best Claire has a significant disadvantage compared to Leon's VP70 despite being only marginally stronger it lacks in the fact that it doesn't come with an upgrade parts making it strictly a weapon to use on Zombies and Dogs and any of the lesser creatures claire encounters.
