Silent Assassin ranks
You can still get a "Silent Assassin" rank on a mission if you are spotted. To get a "Silent Assassin" rank, there has to be nothing in the aggression bar. You can make sure of this by only using chloroform on guards and eliminating the target with just one shot.
Extra ammunition
If you are near a stack of ammunition but are notified by the game that you cannot pick it up, use the following trick to get almost twice as much normal ammunition. For example, if you have a shotgun with full ammunition and are next to a pile of shotgun ammunition, fire one shot, reload, then pick up the ammunition. You will now have almost double the ammunition.
Pick locks quicker
Pick a lock, look at your map, and exit. The lock will be picked.
Getting the M4 (M16)
On the motorcade level, you need to clear the town quickly and grab the supplied rifle. Shoot your target. This will cause the UN guards to stop and run on foot to your position. Wait until they get through the gates, then dodge their shots and put them in the cross fire from the remaining troops outside. Since you cannot hurt them, do not shoot. They will soon shoot their own men. Then, just run up and grab an M4. This may not be easy, but it does work. To get the M4 easier, just use the fiber wire on the UN guards.
Getting the .22SD pistol
The .22SD is well hidden in the castle level where you have to kill Hayamoto senior. It is one of the items that is displayed in his museum.
Holstered Uzi
When holding the Uzi, take out the Ballers. The Uzi will be fully holstered, like a pistol.
Gun collection
Throughout all the levels you will run into many different types of guns. Whenever you see a gun that you do not already have, pick it up. After you complete the level on which you found the gun, the gun will now be available at your house. You will have ammunition in the room for you to use if desired. However, there are many guns that are too big to carry inside your clothes and therefore must be held in the open. You will not be able to pick up a gun of the same size or greater without dropping the one you are holding. You will find other guns on the same level that you cannot pick up because you are already holding one, and the gun you want is simply too big to conceal. In this case, you will have to decide which gun you want more then finish the level with it. You can always replay that level to get the other gun that was left behind.
Easy Silent Assassin rank on Ambush the Temple
Start the level by running into the city and move in a general direction to the left until you reach a building. On your map, this is the bottom right building with a silver icon. Go in there and a man will talk to you. After that, walk up behind him (there is no need to sneak), and use some Anesthetic on him. Take his clothes then get out of the building. Then, go to your map. Note: This is very hard to describe in detail because the position of the agent is different each time. Look for the small red weapon pick-up icon. Go in, and a man sitting at a chair will fire two shots in the air, but no one will be alerted. After the intermission sequence, look at your map and find the yellow icon that is stationary (another one will be moving). The stationary icon will be somewhere in one of the two main plaza areas. Wherever the stationary icon is, go into the storage thing under it, and go up the stairs. Sneak up on the man at the window and Fiber Wire him. Take his Sniper Rifle, and take out the other yellow icon. Then, take pictures of the two dead men. Take the pictures back to the agent, and follow your map to the exit.

Use the following trick to get the W2000, which is best sniper rifle (the only one that is silenced). Start the mission with a rifle and take out the guards in your sight. Follow the road and be ready for the "Sniper has acquired target" message. After this, quickly run back a few yards, and he will probably lost you. The snipers are at towers to your left. At your left it is a hill that helps give you cover. The first sniper at the tower at the right is an easy target. After him, you will see another one at a higher tower. Do not shoot him. Walk back and save the game. His rifle is very fast and powerful. Use your sniper rifle to shoot him, but do not try to kill him with a headshot. You must hit him lower than his rifle. If done correctly, you will see him dropping his rifle out the window while falling back. Do not run to take it, as another sniper is at a tower to your left. Use your map to find him. Kill him, then find the rifle. It is a custom version of W2000 with very powerful shot and is silenced. You can kill multiple enemies with one shot. Note: Do not stop trying if he does not drop the rifle; try to hit him at the correct spot.

After you get past the chips, strangle the man with the Fiber Wire. Then, head back upstairs and return to the bathroom. Change your clothes and hide in the stall with your guns. You must hide because once you get back up, the delivery boy should be telling the guards about someone taking his clothes. Wait for the police to stop entering the bathroom.

Easy Silenced Assassin rank on St. Petersburg Stakeout

To get the bonus, you cannot kill the guard; you will need the Anesthetic. Go up the wide stairs forward and to the left of the insertion point. Follow the hallway, go up the escalator, and take the first left. There is a guard that patrols here. There are also some lockers that he steps behind. Wait until he goes behind the lockers, then pull your Anesthetic. Wait in sneak mode around the opposite side of the lockers, right near the corner. Save the game at this point, as it is fairly difficult to time the Anesthetic correctly, and it will prevent you from having to waste time running to the same spot. Make sure when you anesthetize him that you give him the full five bottles. Drag him behind the lockers, take his clothes, and take his gun. Run back down the escalators and ditch the gun as you are running. You do not need the AK -- you just do not want him to have it when he wakes up. Get your sniper rifle from the locker, and the civilians will not care that you are carrying a gun because you have a soldier's uniform. Run back to the room where you knocked the guard out and go through the door on your right. Pick the lock in the next room and follow the left wall until you reach a ladder. Climb up into the street and go to the building across from the meeting room. Run when you can, but do not make the guards too suspicious. Go right in the front door of the building -- it saves time and the guards are on patrol instead of just standing there. Go up, and make the sniper hit. Save the game, then start heading back the way that you came from. By now, the anesthetized soldier has probably awakened. When you are exiting the sewers, check through the keyhole of the second door. Watch for the guard (in his underwear) to go back behind the lockers. Open the door in sneak mode, then run onto the subway. The trick for the bonus, as always, is to have no aggression. If you kill anyone besides your target, you may still get the Silent Assassin rating, but you will not get the bonus. Also, you may find it easier to get the Silent Assassin rating on the next level if you keep that sniper rifle with you.
