Land of War: The Beginning is a 2021 first-person shooter developed and published by Polish studio MS Games. In a setting rarely touched upon by Second World War media, players control Polish soldiers fighting the German invasion of their homeland in September 1939, the earliest days of the Second World War.
The following weapons appear in the video game Land of War: The Beginning:
Handguns
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is, naturally, the standard sidearm of Wehrmacht forces. It is referred to as the "P08 Parabellum".
Vis wz. 35 Radom
Vis wz. 35 Radom
The Vis wz. 35 Radom is the standard sidearm of the Polish forces, known as the "ps Vis wz. 35".
Vis P-35p
A Vis wz. 35 with a chrome finish is a DLC weapon and is modeled after the Vis P-35p, the German designation for wz. 35s produced at the Radom factory for use by the Wehrmacht after the occupation of Poland. It is referred to as the "VIS P-35p", however, the full designation of the German-produced wz. 35 was 9 mm Pistole 645(p). It is functionally identical to the common variant. Due to the circumstances of this particular pistol's production, it can be considered somewhat anachronistic.
wz. 30 Nagant
The wz. 30 Nagant, a Polish-produced variant of the Nagant Revolver, is available as a DLC weapon under the name "wz. NG 30 Nagant".
Shotguns
Becker Model 1899
The Becker Model 1899 is the game's sole shotgun. Being a somewhat obscure hunting shotgun not designed for combat, its presence during the invasion of Poland is dubious.
Submachine Guns
Haenel MP28/II
The Haenel MP28/II appears as the "Maschinenpistole 28" and is encountered in German hands.
M1928 Thompson
The M1928 Thompson appears under its contemporary Polish designation of "pm Thompson wz. 28".
MP40
While called a "Maschinenpistole 38" in-game, this weapon is actually an anachronistic MP40.
PPD-29
The PPD-29 was added in a post-release update as the "Degtyaryov PPD-30".
Wz. 39 Mors
The Wz. 39 Mors appears as the "pm Mors wz. 39". It is depicted as much more common in the field than it ever was in real life- only 39 wz. 39s were produced by the start of World War II.
Rifles
Karabiner 98k
Karabiner 98k Infantry
The Karabiner 98k is, of course, the standard issue rifle of German forces. Referred to as the "Karabiner 98 kurz".
Karabiner 98k (Sniper)
A Karabiner 98k with a scope is used by Wehrmacht snipers. It strangely gets a completely new designation of "Masuer Kar98 Sniper".
wz. 29 Mauser
The wz. 29 Mauser is the standard issue rifle of Polish infantry, marking Land of War as one of this rifle's rare video game appearances.
