TMP │The Tactical Machine Pistol (Resident Evil 4)

The TMP is a familiar weapon to any fan of Resident Evil 4, as it stands separate in its own unique weapon class. Many will recognize the real-life weapon, however, it's components and custom variations are rarely observed. In this video, we cover the various aspects that make up the TMP.

Oh ho ho, that's how we f***ing do it baby, tactical machine pistol with laser sight, folding stock and custom 9 mm parabellum. Edit: "It's such a shame for a custom RE gun to be treated with such disrespect." HUNK proceeds to stare into the abyss in full agreement.

I've heard some people shit-talk the TMP (I'm looking at you, Pat...), but I'll tell you what, that little thing absolutely shreds El Gigantes.

[@ryujijitei]

Anyone who shittalks the TMP doesn't know how to use it. It's an ammo conservation monster.

[@TurbulentEitri]

It's basically THE weapon to use against El Gigantes in RE4. A quick burst in their faces just easily stuns them for a melee attack against their parasites. Also pretty good at shooting kneecaps off, but I honestly use the Red9 more for that since it helps reduce the amount of times you need to knife a downed Ganado.

[@marcndo]

Shoot the knees and then give them the one two kick punch or suplex Tmp is the best gun you can get...pat..learn to play the games you play man!

One thing to note is the tmp is the best weapon in re4 for speedrunning since it aims so fast and its aim being so low lets you quickly shoot enemy legs to stun or knock them down to run past, hell it's the only weapon Separate ways speedrunners use as Ada by quickly selling all their starting weapons to buy it from the first merchant and having it be their sole gun for the entire run.

Legs? No no no. You aim for the head and ho for the kick.

[@josephvest3596]

As opposed to what almost every single strat guide says, most say that it's one of the lowest tier weapons in the game, it's the boss shredder, my experience it does more dps than the magnums at nearly every point in the game

[@PowderedToastMan3]

Yes, especially because the broken butterfly takes so long to get going and the killer 7 isn't available till the end of the game.

[@hallofguns8174]

In the first play through I mostly agree, in subsequent ones though I love using the Broken Butterfly on bosses. It just feels right to a Ganato drop in two shots.

[@BrockLee3]

Yeah, but it's too wasteful on ammo when trying to kill all the numerous normal enemies. I just end up using the TMP to shoot anything containing loot (much faster than using the knife).

[@jlogan2228]

Yea on my first ever playthrough I had a bunch of tmp ammo bc for whatever reason I wasn't using it just knife and handgun and melee. When I got to mendes I was kinda low on everything and just was like ok I'll empty this into him at least and he was dead in like 2-3 mags worth or so never even needed to use my other guns and had tmp ammo to spare

[@joaogarcia6170]

It really depends on the boss, the tmp is really good to shred salazar and El Gigantes but it's not really that great against U3 and krauser.

[@nicolasbenoit6753]

i'm quite fascinated by Leon's default RE4 handgun, the Silver Ghost. Seems to be some kind of hybrid between the H&K MK23 and USP, including bits from different guns

[@JohnPerry27]

According to Imfdb, it's based off the USP, Smith and Wesson Sigma, and Ruger P85.

[@KionKamon]

John Perry the USP and HK MK23 SOCOM are sister handguns, so it’s only natural it’d share similarities with both of those. Oops, I thought I was replying to the original comment, my bad

Yeah that pistol is clean af

[@Take-aim-and-reload...]

All of my friends who played RE4 always switched to Red9 during mid-game, while I'm the only one who chose to stick with the Silver Ghost from the very beginning until the game's completion. Red9 is just too mainstream to use. The Silver Ghost is more challenging.

[@deletedaccount1273]

How about doing a video on the various crossbows across multiple RE games? -Claire's crossbow (RE CV & RE Rev2) -Ada's crossbow (RE4 & RE6) Or just bows like Krauser's bow (RE4) and Sheva's bow (RE5)

[@bigboiplays7872]

Definitely agree

[@AZJayjohn]

Let's get settled with weekly or biweekly content first

[@miguelrobles3855]

Hi i stream rookie RE4 playthoughs please check it out :))

[@knightshousegames]

It's hard to acknowledge the Crossbows in RE (or any game for that matter) because they are so divorced from reality Claire's Crossbow in RE2 looks to be modeled after one of those cheap 75 lbs pistol crossbows, but is magically pump action in Kendo's hands, shoots 3 bolts at once and is semi automatic? The Crossbow in RE:CV is comical, it somehow shoots faster than the handgun? I'm convinced no game developer who ever put a crossbow in a game has ever shot a real crossbow before. Krauser's bow is pretty fun, but it just doesn't get enough screen time to really make a video about.

[@danielgeronimo5538]

This thing is a solid workhorse, that can even surpass any of the pistols. Surprisingly accurate, and powerful crowd control.

[@ATPokemon]

For the UC version, I had always thought that after the experience that was Raccoon City, HUNK made those modifications for future missions.

[@tgcid2018]

Playing RE4 on the Wii made the TMP ridiculously OP. Aiming with the wiimote made headshots easy and it basically broke the ammo scarcity when you could take out entire waves of enemies with just a few rounds and a couple kicks.

[@lhfirex]

I like to go without a pistol and use the TMP when I play RE4. Also, looks like Jim Gaffigan got a cameo at 5:00 in that portrait. Oh, and as far as the video goes... Hehehaha, thank ya.

[@MBOmnis]

Interesting how you noted that the "custom TMP" version's laser activates by a pressure strap on the foregrip. Then in the cutscene, Krauser aims the TMP at Leon and the laser dot only turns on after his left hand is firmly on the foregrip. Neat little details like this are mostly what makes these games so special.

[@tempestshadow5152]

The TMP is absolutely one of my favorite guns in RE4! As others pointed out, this thing is an ammo saving beast. This thing essentially does the same thing a pistol does which is set up melee attacks with 1 headshot, but you get ammo in stacks of 20-50 while pistol ammo comes in stacks of 10 on average. When facing a group of say 5 ganados, I know I just need 5 TMP rounds (and a lot of knifing lol). I usually end my playthroughs with about a couple hundred rounds leftover.

[@jeffreysamson5938]

U r not the only one ya know 🤣 it's a breeze to save ammo using tmp.

[@FunkkyPanda69]

I ended one new game play through with 500 fucking rounds lol I kept upgrading the capacity when I emptied it in certain scenarios. Like the Gigante boss fight empty your mag, reload, then knife that parasite by button mashing your control to death, empty two more mags, then finish off with two shots from the rifle, then afterwards upgrade ammo. Then for the cabin fight same thing. Use pistol and shotgun in the beginning, then when you get upstairs dump that juicy ammo on those Ganados while defending the stairs. Reload 1 mag then dump next and finish off with pistol. Boom 100 bullets with from merchant. Hell if you’ve been using your knife and pistol and booming shitheads up with grenades, you can even fight in both sides of the gate! I love RE4.

[@rc59191]

Wish they weren't so expensive.

[@ReonMagnum]

The Hi-Power was the R.P.D.'s service handgun for many years, until it got replaced by the Beretta 92FS. Claire finds one in a police car glovebox in RE2, while a police officer wields one during the RPD's Last Stand in the intro of RE3. It can also be used in the Outbreak games.

[@tonypeppermint5329]

@@rc59191 Dang.

[@Collateral0]

ReonMagnum Always found it weird that an American police force used Hi Powers. Usually American forces used revolvers, and if they used auto loaders they usually were Smith and Wesson Model 39’s and later 59’s. Browning Hi Powers weren’t popular in the U.S. but saw extensive service outside of the U.S in the commonwealth nations and Europe abroad.

Browning was the Claire's handgun during RE2, and Ada also had one in the game

[@livingcorpse5664]

Fully maxed out and the thing lives up to it's name of Tactical Machine Pistol, having a slightly higher firepower than the pistol's default and the insane firerate. For all intents and purposes, it not only helps me save ammo but gives me some spare ammo to sell for extra cash. Also helps in areas where I wanna conserve ammo but not reload often when fighting mobs, shoot in face, run over and melee, rinse and repeat.

[@jlogan2228]

Yea if you buy the tmp and play smartly in the area you get it (aka knife ladder cheese tactic) you'll have SOOOO MUCH ammo moving forward

6:59 I think that’s where Hunk got his Custom TMP. Because do note that it was when Alpha Team was wiped out by Birkin at that time. And if Hunk had a TMP, his whole team also had TMPs. So the Origins of Hunk’s custom TMP dates back to the Raccoon City incident. Where he hadn’t customized his TMP until after the destruction of Raccoon City. However it is not known when and who customized Hunk’s TMP. But in my opinion, he made the custom parts himself.
