The Last of Us 2 (TLOU2) contains 12 Weapons / Firearms and this guide shows all their locations. While most Weapons are automatic rewards, a few of them can be collected in the game world. If you miss them, they keep respawning in more locations until you eventually get them automatically from story progress. You can also upgrade Weapons at Workbenches using Scrap Parts.
For an All-in-One Collectible Guide including Weapons, Workbenches, Parts refer to The Last of Us 2 All Collectible Locations Guide.

Weapon #1: Semi-Auto Pistol (Ellie)
Location: Starting Weapon, in inventory automatically.
Weapon #2: Bolt-Action Rifle (Ellie)
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 4: Patrol. You get it halfway through the chapter when you find an animal carcass.
Weapon #3: Revolver (Ellie)
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 7: Packing Up. You get it from a box you have to open, cannot be missed.
Weapon #4: Pump Shotgun (Ellie)
Location: Can be collected in Chapter 9: Downtown. It’s found inside the bank vault. The bank is in the first building ruins on the left side of the Downtown Seattle area. When you look at your map it’s the third block from the left in the bottom row. The code to the bank vault is 60-23-06.
Weapon #5: Bow (Ellie)
Location: Can be collected in Chapter 16: Hillcrest. After seeing some black smoke in the distance, you will enter a building and have to squeeze into its garage (normal story path). Here you instantly get grabbed by a new type of infected enemy. Kill it and loot its body for the Bow. It would be hard to miss this. Immediately after opening the garage door you will see some bow practice targets, by that point you can still turn around the pick up the bow if you missed it.
Weapon #6: Military Pistol
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 24: The Stadium, cannot be missed.
Weapon #7: Semi-Auto Rifle
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 24: The Stadium, cannot be missed.
Weapon #8: Hunting Pistol
Location: Can be collected in Chapter 25: On Foot. Late into the chapter, after you carry a ladder and throw a rope to escape a room with a boat hanging from the ceiling, you’ll climb down a ladder and reunite with Manny in the outdoors area. There’s a building on the right side called “MS Corporation Soft Drink Distribution Center”. Enter it through the cracked wall around the back. Inside you find a safe that contains the Hunting Pistol. The Safe Code is 17-38-07.
Weapon #9: Double Barrel Shotgun
Location: Can be collected in Chapter 28: Hostile Territory. After climbing over a wall you’ll come to a Chinatown area with shops on the left and right. Enter the last shop on the left and head upstairs. There you will encounter 2 Clickers, kill them, then jump to the balcony across the street. Take a left turn and drop down the hole in the floor. You will land in a shop (beware of 1 Infected attacking you here). Behind the counter you can pick up this weapon. In case you miss it, you’ll automatically get it later in the chapter a little while after the next enemy encounter.
Weapon #10: Crossbow
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 31: The Coast, cannot be missed.
Weapon #11: Flamethrower
Location: Automatically obtained during Chapter 34: The Descent. While this can be found in multiple spots, the easiest option is to just play through the mission until the story forces you to pick up a Flamethrower, which is leaning against a door you have to open. You can’t open the door until you’ve picked up the Flamethrower, making this unmissable. Technically, you could find this a little early just a few rooms before, but you’ll always get it automatically in this chapter anyhow.
Weapon #12: Silenced Submachine Gun
Location: Automatically obtained at the start of Chapter 44: The Resort, cannot be missed.
That’s all of the weapons in The Last of Us Part II.

how earlier can the player get these all these weapons in new game plus mode, if they obtain these in first play through. just curious,
PowerPyx says
In New Game+ you get back all weapons in Chapter 9: Downtown. They are locked for story purposes until then.
So they carry over into New Game+ (including all upgrades), they just aren’t available from the start.
Tristen Wells says

Larkin Mizzi says
If i mised some weapons can i collect them in chapter select or i need to do it in a whole playthrough?
Emkas says
You must have all upgrades at once. So I think you can do it only if this is the last one.
