About finding guns

[NiEr]

I didn't played that much Tomb Raider 1, and i'm thinking i am missing guns.

i am currently at Colisseum level and i've only found a Shotgun.

Will i find all the weapons during the levels? Or i have to find secrets to find new weapons?

[dml!]

There aren't many guns in the first game, and you haven't missed any up to the level you're now starting. However the next weapons will appear in secrets earlier than normal starting from where you are now, but will appear a few levels later in normal play if you don't manage to find the secrets.

Other than pistols and shotgun, I think the only other weapons are the Uzis and the Magnum pistols. I don't recall exactly when the Magnums first become available--I'm thinking in Greece? You lose them at the start of Natla's Mines anyhow, until you can defeat Cowboy. The Uzis are available as a secret in Egypt, but if you miss them there, they are available later at a couple of locations in Atlantis. And again, you will lose all your weapons at the start of Natla's Mines but all will become available to you piecemeal by halfway through the Atlantis levels, whether you had these weapons previously or not.

As shadowgravy said, there's only 3 weapons you can collect: shotgun, magnums, uzis. The shotgun is first available in Lost Valley, the magnums in Colosseum, the uzis in sanctuary of the scion. I'm not sure if TR1 acts like TR2 and TR3 where if you miss the initial pickup, an ammo pickup of that gun in later levels is replaced by the gun. I've always gotten the guns because they're essentially on your route (magnums and uzis being a secret, but you still go right by both of them just progressing the level normally)

Yes, you find them on Natla's henchmen and the game lets you find them in several places instead of ammo. It's very difficult not to find them.

You cannot really miss them entirely but you can get magnum and uzis surprisingly early by finding secrets.
