All weapon workbenches in Sniper Elite: Resistance - Workbench locations guide
Our Sniper Elite: Resistance workbenches guide is organized based on the mission list and progression through the campaign. The vast majority of levels tend to have three of these workbenches for your pistol, SMG/secondary, and rifle.
Note that some areas may require a key, though you may instead be able to lockpick doors or use crowbars/bolt cutters to gain access. Lastly, finding all these workbenches nets you the "Innovator" achievement as a reward.
