Battlefield 4 - Dragon`s Teeth (2014)

Battlefield 4 is the latest installment in the Battlefield series developed by Swedish game developer DICE and published by Electronic Arts. It was announced that those who pre-ordered Medal of Honor: Warfighter would be granted early beta access to the game. The game was released on October 29.

The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 4:


Handguns

Handguns are the only class of weapon to be equipped in the secondary slot in multiplayer (with the single exception of the Serbu Shorty 870). They offer a faster transition time than reloading a primary weapon. In an odd departure from Battlefield 3, magazine-fed handguns all use identical reloading animations. Hammers are in the proper positions for single action firing, if available. Handguns offer relatively high damage (even more so with revolvers) at very short range and low damage at distance. Attachments available include lights, lasers, barrel attachments, and both iron and optical sights. Revolvers may not be suppressed.

Beretta M9

The Beretta M9 returns from Battlefield 3 and is the second sidearm to be unlocked. It is nearly identical to the P226 in performance aside from a slightly different recoil pattern. The M9 is the United States military designation for the 92FS. When utilizing accessories such as lights and lasers, the M9A1 variant with an integrated rail would be more appropriate. The M9 requires a score of 4000 points earned with pistols to unlock. The in-game model is also used for the three-round burst "93R", and both versions have a 15+1 round capacity.

Chiappa Rhino 40DS

The Chiappa Rhino revolver appears in the DLC Naval Strike, called "SW40". It is the 4 inch barrel version. The Rhino's visible hammer does not move while firing, which is actually correct, as the gun has an internal hammer and the visible part is simply a lever used to cock the internal hammer, which does not stay back after the internal hammer is cocked, nor does it move while firing (a comparison could be made to an AR-15 or MP5 charging handle, which only move when moved by the user, as they are separate from the bolt).

CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW

The CZ 75 SP-01 SHADOW chambered in .40S&W appears as the "CZ-75" and is an unlockable sidearm in the game, holding 12+1 rounds. It is a factory-custom, competition oriented variant of the popular CZ 75. This pistol requires a score of 45000 points earned with pistols to unlock.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The Desert Eagle Mark XIX chambered in .44 Magnum appears as the "DEagle 44" in the Dragon's Teeth DLC and holds 8+1 rounds. Fitting the "Compensator" attachment to the weapon will add the factory IWI muzzle brake (referred to in the second image). However, fitting the "muzzle brake" attachment will utilize the same generic brake used on other pistols. This handgun is unlocked with the completion of the "Recoil Kinetics" assignment.

FN Five-seveN

The FN Five-seveN is available in multiplayer as an unlockable sidearm and holds 20+1 rounds. In-game, the Five-seven does slightly less damage than 9x19mm pistols but benefits from having superior accuracy and a large magazine capacity. The Five-seveN requires 28000 points with handguns to unlock.

Glock 17

On the cover art, as well as other promotional artwork, Recker is seen holding a Glock 17 with a flashlight attached to it. The standard version has the same tan frame as the game's Glock 18. It is only seen in the singleplayer campaign, used by NPCs. Pac weilds the Glock 17 as his standard sidearm throughout the campaign, Captain Garrison uses one with a black frame in the level "South China Sea", as well as Agent Kovic in Shanghai. like previous game, black frame model is seen holstered all United States Marine Corps soldiers.

Recker takes a closer look at Captain Garrison's Glock 17, the only clear appearance of the black frame in game at the end of the South China Sea chapter.

Glock 18

The Glock 18 is the only fully-automatic capable handgun in the game. It features a 1100 round per minute fire rate and a 17+1 round capacity. The Glock requires 23000 points with handguns to unlock. It's worth noting that it's actually a re-use of the G17's model with an 18's selector switch - it features all the cocking serrations, instead of the middle portion being flat where the fire mode markings should be.

Heckler & Koch HK45C

The Heckler & Koch HK45C is the last sidearm to be unlocked in multiplayer, and is listed as the "Compact 45" presumably for trademark reasons; however, DICE's internal file name for the pistol remains "HK45C". It uses the 10-round extended "elephant foot" magazines, and has the threaded barrel of the 45CT. The HK45C was developed as the compact version of the full-size HK45, but shares some characteristics with the 9x19mm HK P2000. The HK45CT suppressor-ready variant has been adopted by United States Naval Special Warfare units in limited numbers as the Mk 24 Mod 0 Combat Assault Pistol. The HK45C is the last handgun unlocked via score in multiplayer, requiring 57000 points with handguns.

Mare's Leg

The lever action rifle "Mare's Leg" is included in the Spring 2015 Patch and is modernized with rails.

Replica Winchester 1892 "Mare's Leg" with standard lever loop and rounded barrel- .44-40. This model also shows off the screw used to do "rapid fire". This is put in place so the user does not need to pull the trigger. The screw breaks the shots when the action is worked.

Mateba Model 6 Unica

The Mateba Model 6 Unica appears as the "Unica 6" in the Dragon's Teeth DLC. If the Compensator attachment is used, the gun will use its own unique compensator instead of the generic P226 compensator for most other handguns. A 3x scope is also available in addition to the standard selection of sights. It is unlocked with the completion of the "Big Splash" assignment.

MP-412 REX

During the singleplayer campaign, Dunn gives Recker an MP-412 REX to shoot the windshield of the car. Rather interestingly, the MP-412 was never put in full production, so its presence in a United States MARSOC unit could only be explained as a war trophy, taken from Russian forces. The REX cannot be unlocked through multiplayer, the player must complete the first mission of the single-player campaign, "Baku", to unlock it.

MP-443 Grach

The MP-443 Grach returns from Battlefield 3 and features one of the higher handgun magazine capacities at 17+1. It is unlocked in multiplayer by earning 13000 points with pistols.

Norinco QSZ-92-5.8

The Norinco QSZ-92-5.8 appears in Battlefield 4. The weapon has flip-flopped between 15-round and 20-round magazine capacities, starting with 20 in the beta, 15 in the final release, then patched back to 20 later. In reality, both 15-round and 20-round magazines for the 5.8x21mm rounds are in existence. The QSZ-92 requires 8000 points earned with pistols to unlock.

SIG-Sauer P226R

The SIG-Sauer P226R is featured in multiplayer as the default sidearm for all classes and factions. The P226 was selected for use by the United States Naval Special Warfare Command, and remains in service today worldwide. The P226R added an accessory rail to the frame, though the "R" designation was later dropped. In the game it uses standard 15-round magazines and features a threaded barrel for suppressors. Interestingly, most handguns' "Compensator" attachment was modeled specifically for the P226.

Taurus Model 44

The Taurus Model 44, once again listed as the ".44 Magnum", is available in multiplayer as the second to last sidearm unlocked. It can kill with just two shots in close range. It has a 3x scope available in addition to the standard selection of sights. It requires 51000 points earned with pistols to unlock.

Vickers Tactical Custom 1911

A one-off custom variant of the M1911, made by Larry Vickers of Vickers Tactical specifically for Medal of Honor: Warfighter, replaces the M45 MEU(SOC) from Battlefield 3. Noticeably, the Vickers trademarks are removed, and it now uses a 7-round magazine compared to 8 from the last game. It is one of the later sidearms unlocked in multiplayer, requiring 34000 handgun points. It has a 3x scope available in addition to the standard selection of sights. The M45 MEU(SOC) or the new Colt M45A1 would have been a far more realistic choice as they are actually in service with the United States Marine Corps Special Operations Command.

Submachine Guns

Unlike the previous game, SMGs and any other weapons that appeared under the "PDW" category are now exclusive to the Engineer class. Their once-exclusive carbines are now all-kit weapons. These weapons categorized as PDWs typically offer superior close-range effectiveness - ironic considering the large, vehicle-based maps where engineers excel. Most are chambered in a pistol caliber and come with excellent hip-fire and mobility in game. Attachments available include lights, lasers, barrel attachments, grips, and both iron and optical sights. Also, all returning SMGs and PDWs from the previous game, where applicable, now come with their high-capacity magazines by default (eg. The MP7 default magazine is its extended 40-rounder, while the Magpul PDR's default magazine is the standard-capacity 30-round PMAG).

Beretta Mx4 Storm

The Beretta Mx4 Storm, the select-fire military variant of the Cx4 is available in multiplayer. It is listed simply as the "Mx4". It is the starting weapon of all three factions' Engineer classes.

CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1

The CZ Scorpion Evo 3 A1 appears as the "CZ-3A1", and features the highest rate of fire among the PDWs (and matching the FAMAS). Interestingly, the default iron sights (correct as Evo factory sights) are used as the default iron sights for a number of other weapons in the game. It requires 37000 points earned with PDWs to unlock.

FN P90 TR

The FN P90 TR is available in the campaign and unlockable in multiplayer by means of an assignment. Hanna uses this gun as her main weapon in the campaign, it is attached with a Trijicon red dot sight. Unfortunately, the magazine is modeled as opaque instead of the translucent factory magazines - most likely due to the extensive work needed to animate the depleting rounds.

Heckler & Koch MP7A1

The MP7A1 is featured in the China Rising DLC. It is unlocked with the completion of the "Make a Dent" assignment. The MP7A1, as in Battlefield 3, is one of the only weapons that retain both front and rear iron sights when attaching an optic. This time, it comes default with the extended 40-round magazine.

Heckler & Koch UMP45

The Heckler & Koch UMP45 is an available PDW in the game. Unlike Battlefield 3, the front sight assembly is removed when equipped with optics. In real life, this would not be possible without permanently altering the weapon. Unlike its 9mm brother, the UMP45 is present in the unlock tree for PDWs, and does not require the player to complete an assignment. The UMP-45 requires 11000 score with PDWs to acquire.

Heckler & Koch UMP9

The Heckler & Koch UMP9 is an unlockable PDW in the game, through the "Engineer Expert" assignment. As with the UMP45, the front sight assembly is removed when equipped with optics, which would permanently alter the weapon.

Jian She Type-05

The Jian She Type-05 appears in-game as the last PDW unlocked. Following the Spring 2015 update, the caliber chambering was updated from 5.8x21mm (50+1 rounds) to 9x19mm (30+1 rounds), ending the caliber confusion with the QCQ-05. It is the final unlocked weapon in the PDW set, requiring a PDW score of 48000.

PP-2000

The PP-2000 is available in multiplayer. This time around, it has a 44-round magazine by default. It is an unlockable PDW requiring 4000 points earned with PDWs.

Saab Bofors Dynamics CBJ-MS

The Saab Bofors Dynamics CBJ-MS appears in-game as an unlockable PDW. It has the highest muzzle velocity in its class, due to its unique 6.5x25mm round. The weapon model shows a 100-round drum magazine, but it actually only holds 50+1 rounds in-game, most likely for balancing purposes. It requires 19000 PDW points to unlock.

Having successfully dispatched his foe, the Engineer reloads his CBJ-MS. On empty, the player pulls the charging handle and then rides it forward by pushing it back in.

SIG-Sauer MPX

The SIG-Sauer MPX appears in the Dragon's Teeth DLC, and is chambered in .40 S&W and in the standard 6.5" barrel configuration. It features a magazine capacity of 30+1. Interestingly, the MPX is the most recently developed firearm in the game, released by SIG-Sauer in 2014, some time after the original game was released. It is unlocked via the "Not the Weakest Link" assignment.

Shotguns

Shotguns in Battlefield 4 are equipped in the primary weapon slot with the exception of the Serbu Super Shorty (a secondary), M26 MASS (a gadget), and the USAS-12 (a battle pickup). The game features pump-action, semi-automatic, and fully-automatic (USAS-12 only) shotguns fed from either a tube or detachable magazine. Unique to this weapon category, the player may choose from a variety of ammunition types - buckshot, flechette, slug, and explosive frag rounds. In addition to optics, lights, lasers, and grips, the player may equip muzzle devices such as chokes, brakes, and compensators. Shotguns may not be suppressed in the game. With the exception of the M26 MASS, all shotguns are available to any class.

Benelli M1

A Benelli M1 with a fixed stock and top rail incorrectly replaces the the proper Benelli M4 with a collapsible stock from BF3 as the "M1014". It does average damage per shot when compared to the other shotguns, but this is balanced with a very high rate of fire and fast reload time. The Benelli M1 requires 11000 score with shotguns to unlock.

Cobray Street Sweeper

The SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper, called "DAO-12" in the game, is an unlockable shotgun in the Second Strike DLC. The reloading animation differs (more realistically) from the Battlefield 3 DAO-12 in that the player will manually turn the key in front of the drum after inserting each shell.

Daewoo USAS-12

The Daewoo USAS-12 appears in the game as a battle pickup and is the only fully automatic shotgun. It usually is configured with an EOTech sight and ergo grip, though a FLIR 2x sight with angled foregrip version is present on some maps. It will always be equipped with the "Laser Light Combo" (AN/PEQ-15) and frag rounds. In singleplayer, however, another variant loaded with slugs and equipped with the Prismatic 3.4x scope can be unlocked in the "South China Sea" level after scoring 10000 points. It holds 10+1 rounds from a box magazine, and appears to have the standard carrying handle permanently removed for a rail.

"DBV-12"

The DBV-12 (an AK-12 modified to fire shotgun shells, like the the original AK's Saiga 12) is the last unlockable shotgun in multiplayer. Although supposed to represent the AK-12/76 shotgun variant, it does not have the deeper magwell of the real AK-12/76; it features that of a standard AK-12 instead. It requires 59000 points earned with shotguns and is the last weapon in the shotgun list.

Franchi SPAS-12

The Franchi SPAS-12 has been seen in multiple public multiplayer events. It operates only in pump-action mode, just like in the Bad Company series and Battlefield 3. In-game the weapon holds 9 (8+1) rounds and requires a score of 37000 with shotguns.

The lack of sights didn't get in the way of Recker stopping the PLAN boarding party, however. The bug fixes itself once the player interacts with any weapon crates.

Hawk 97-2

The Hawk 97-2 shotgun appears as the "Hawk 12G". It is the most powerful of the pump action shotguns but with the largest spread and pellet count at 14 pellets. It requires a shotgun score of 19000.

M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System

The M26 Modular Accessory Shotgun System is once again an unlockable shotgun "gadget" exclusive to the Assault class. It can be used standalone or attached to certain assault rifles. As with the previous game, multiple ammunition types are available, obtained through the Assault Kits level progression. When equipped by itself it is outfitted with a Trijicon reflex sight.

QBS-09

The QBS-09 is the default shotgun available once shotguns are unlocked through progression of the Support class. It is the most powerful semi-automatic shotgun in the game at present, offsetting its rather low 5+1 round capacity. It requires 16000 score with the Support kit to unlock.

A Remington 870-based Serbu Super Shorty appears in BF4. It has an intergrated accessory rail, and can mount a Trijicon RMR or Leupold DeltaPoint sight in addition to a ghost ring iron sight setup borrowed from the handguns. It cannot be aimed unless equipped with a sight accessory, and can only use buckshot rounds. It has a correct 2+1 capacity. It is called the "Shorty 12G" in-game, and is available in multiplayer as a secondary. Although unlocked with 18000 pistol score, it contributes points towards the other shotguns rather than the rest of the handguns.

Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles

This category generally spans the in-game weapon classes of assault rifles, designated marksmen rifles, and carbines. Assault rifles are exclusive to the Assault class, while carbines and DMRs are an all-kit weapon. DMRs feature higher damage and range but are semi-auto only, limiting their close-range effectiveness. The entire selection of attachments and close to medium-range optics are available to equip, and some assault rifles can directly mount an M320 or an M26 MASS.

5.56A-91

The 5.56A-91 returns in multiplayer as a carbine. It once again has the incorrect designation of "A-91", but this time around, it seems to also be incorrectly chambered in 5.45x39mm, possibly indicating a fictional future variant. It requires 28000 carbine score to unlock.

AK-12

The AK-12 is available in the game as the starting assault rifle for all factions. It appears to replace the AK-74M from Battlefield 3. The AK-12 has a similar ability to the AN-94 from previous Battlefield games - selecting burst fire will allow the weapon to fire a two-round burst at 750 RPM instead of its default 650 RPM.

AS Val

The AS Val appears as a PDW in the Second Assault DLC and is accessible only to Engineers. It is integrally suppressed, so no other barrel attachments are available. It is unlocked via the "Co-pilot" assignment, and is also the only returning PDW to not use its high-capacity magazine, instead making do with its standard-capcity 20-round mag. It is erroneously depicted with an optional three-round burst mode, a feature that the real AS Val does not have.

The Beretta ARX-160 appears in the Naval Strike DLC as the "AR-160" assault rifle, holding 30+1 rounds.The glitched weapon model is much smaller in size compared to other weapons, though not noticeable in first person (if no attachments are equipped) due to scaling. It requires the completion of the "Spare Time Sniper" assignment.

The Bofors Ak 5C is seen during the "Angry Sea" singleplayer gameplay reveal, and during the Siege of Shanghai multiplayer footage. It is the default starting carbine for all factions, once unlocked through progression of the Engineer class. The Ak 5C is regarded as an excellent all-around carbine with a good rate of fire, controllability, and accuracy. It requires a score of 15000 Engineer points to unlock.

It appears to have an upper receiver group reminiscent of the government-only Remington ACR with a civilian Bushmaster lower fitted with a fixed stock. The ACR is the first carbine unlocked after the Ak 5C, requiring 4000 carbine score.

In initial gameplay footage, Recker is seen using an M16A4 in the campaign level "Baku"; in the final game, Recker's starting rifle is the FN SCAR-H. You unlock the M16A4 with 59,000 assault rifle points in multiplayer.

It features the highest rate of fire (1000 RPM) for any rifle, but is balanced by its 25-round straight magazine and high recoil. The factory integral bipod can be equipped, though its practical usefulness is questionable.

In United States Special Operations Command it is type designated as the MK17 MOD0. The model has been updated from Battlefield 3, brought in from Medal of Honor: Warfighter, and is a more accurate representation of the current generation SCAR-H. The version for the Assault kit is unlocked with 4000 assault rifle points while the DMR version requires 82000 DMR points.

It requires an assault rifle score of 11000 to unlock.

Perhaps the game assumes its production in the near future. Unlike most PDW style weapons, it is chambered in the NATO standard 5.56x45mm round with forward ejection, and a utilizes a 12" barrel. It requires a score of 28000 with PDWs to unlock.

Norinco QBZ-95-1/QBB-95 Hybrid

The so called "QBZ-95-1" in Battlefield 4 is actually an Norinco QBB-95 using 30-round magazines, lacking the new foregrip design and featuring the fire-selector on the stock, not above the grip like a real QBZ-95-1. It is unlocked by completing the "To Valhalla" campaign assignment. There is also a short-barreled version of this hybrid called the "Type 95B-1", and is the last carbine unlocked, requiring 83000 carbine score.

SVK-12

The SVK-12 appears as a designated marksman rifle version of the AK-12. It features the lowest capacity of all DMRs with 15+1 rounds, but has the fastest velocity, making shots easier to land at long range. In-game it is referred to as the "SVD-12" and is listed to use 7.62×54mmR cartridges, a caliber not available to any AK-12 variant, but correct for the SVD Dragunov. It requires a DMR score of 19000 to unlock.

Machine Guns

This category lists the light and medium / general-purpose machine guns available for the player to equip. All are limited only to the support class. Open bolt operation is correctly portrayed (with the exception of the Ultimax Mark 5) in the reload animations and the ammunition belt visibly depletes when approaching empty. Unlike Medal of Honor: Warfighter, there is no overheating gameplay mechanic and the player may continuously fire as long as ammunition remains. Players may outfit all close and medium-range optics with the exception of canted iron sights. For the most part, when optics are equipped, the front sight assembly is removed. Compared to assault rifles and carbines, machine guns deal greater suppression to enemies and have lower first round recoil multipliers.

AAI LSAT Light Machine Gun

The AAI LSAT Light Machine Gun (Lightweight Small Arms Technologies) returns from Battlefield 3. It is currently in the developmental stages to demonstrate the latest in lightweight LMG design. This is mainly achieved via two new types of ammunition - a cased telescoped 5.56mm round (as shown in the Battlefield series) and a caseless 5.56mm variant. Interestingly, a round counter developed with the LSAT does not make an appearance in game. It requires 11000 LMG score to unlock.

Ares-16 MCR

The Ares-16 MCR appears as the "AWS" and is a weapon introduced in Naval Strike DLC. It is fitted with a 100-round C-Mag giving it a 100+1 capacity, providing more ammo than the Norinco QBB-95-1 as a magazine-fed light machine gun (and a much higher rate of fire too). It is unlocked via the "Swiss Cheese" assignment.

It is the standard medium machine gun of the United States Army, chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO and a derivative of the FN MAG, one of the most widely fielded machine guns in the world. It requires 37000 LMG score. In the Dragon's Teeth DLC, a M240 variant is mounted on the "RAWR", Battlefield 4's version of the MAARS robot.

FN M249 SAW PIP

The FN M249 SAW returns from Battlefield 3. A derivative of the FN Minimi, it is the standard light machine gun of the various branches of the United States military. This variant features the Product Improvement Package (PIP) which includes an updated retractable stock, railed handguard assembly, and a short barrel. Interestingly, the United States Marine Corps, as shown in this game, currently fields the M27 Infantry Automatic Rifle (previously in Battlefield 3) as a partial replacement for the M249. The game incorrectly depicts the 100-round soft bag magazine as holding 200 rounds. It is not unlocked through multiplayer, requring completion of the "Final Duty" campaign achievement.

It fires the Chinese 5.8x42mm round from either a 30-round box magazine or a 75-round drum magazine. It has the second-highest capacity of all magazine-fed weapons in the game. It is unlocked by acquiring 15,000 points with LMGs.

The Norinco QJY-88 returns from Battlefield 3. It is a gas operated, belt-fed light machine gun currently in service with the Chinese People's Liberation Army. It fires the Chinese 5.8x42mm round. The QJY-88 is also known as (and referred to in-game as) the Type 88 LMG - not to be confused with the Type 88 sniper rifle (Norinco QBU-88) that is also in the game. It is the first unlockable LMG, requiring a 4000 score with LMGs.

RPK

The "RPK-74M" returns from Battlefield 3 as part of the China Rising DLC. In actuality, the weapon model is the standard RPK, based on its wood furniture and magazine curvature. Following the Spring 2015 patch, the caliber has been changed to the correct 7.62x39mm and magazine reduced to an accurate 40 rounds. The RPK and RPK-74/74M are light machine gun variants of the AKM and AK-74/74M, respectively - all in use within the Russian Armed Forces and widely exported.

RPK-12

The RPK-12 is the light machine gun variant of the AK-12, although currently, the real RPK-12 variant is only chambered in 7.62x39mm. The near-future setting of the game could indicate this as a future development. The game model appears to differ only in the barrel length and magazine. In-game it fires the same 5.45x39mm round and uses a 60-round quad-stack magazine that was developed for the AK-12. It is unlocked by completing the "Support Expert" assignment.

STK Ultimax 100 Mark 5

The STK Ultimax 100 Mark 5 appears as the starting weapon for the Support class. In game, it is incorrectly depicted as a closed bolt weapon that can chamber a +1 round on top of its 30-round magazine. Actually, the Mark 5 fires from the open bolt, uncommon for modern magazine-fed weapons (the in-game model, when viewed from the right side, even shows the bolt locked back). The Mark 5 was submitted to compete in the USMC Infantry Automatic Rifle competition, although it was not selected.

Sniper Rifles

This category spans all of Battlefield 4's bolt action sniper rifles, and some precision-oriented semi-automatic rifles. Sniper rifles include all bolt-actions smaller than .50 caliber and the semi-auto FD338, and are exclusive to the Recon class only. These weapons have the entire selection of short to long-range optics available to equip, and some unique modifications such as laser range finders and straight-pull bolts. Designated marksmen rifles are available to all classes and fire in semi-auto. They cannot equip long-range optics. Additionally, the Barrett M107 and the AMR-2 are the two sniper rifle battle pickups in the game, both .50 caliber.

Accuracy International AWM-F

The AWM-F, in British military service as the L115A3, is an unlockable weapon in the China Rising DLC. Following the Spring 2015 patch, it fires the powerful .338 Lapua round from a 5-round magazine, giving it a 5+1 round capacity. It is improperly named as the "L96A1", which is the 7.62x51mm NATO variant and the standard sniper rifle of the British Army.

China South Industries Group AMR-2

The AMR-2 appears as a battle pickup in the game on select multiplayer maps. It is a bolt-action, 12.7x108mm Chinese sniper rifle that holds 5+1 rounds. It is called the "AMR-2", "AMR-2 MID", or "AMR-2 CQB", depending on its optic configuration. A fictional laser range finder is always mounted (an AN/PEQ-11 with the rear end altered into a display).

The Barrett M107 in-game is incorrectly dubbed as the "M82A3", despite it not having a raised top rail and lacking a rear grip and monopod socket. It is a semi-auto .50 BMG sniper rifle battle pickup in the game, called the "M82A3", "M82A3 MID", or "M82A3 CQB", depending on its configuration. It holds a 10+1 round capacity, and comes with one extra magazine. The fictional laser range finder is always mounted (an AN/PEQ-11 with the rear end altered into a display).

Barrett Model 98 Bravo

The Barrett Model 98 Bravo returns from Battlefield 3, once again called the "M98B". This time around it correctly holds 10 rounds in the magazine, but unfortunately suffers from the "fat rail segment" ailment that afflicts many weapons that were ported over. It features the fastest bullet velocity of all the sniper rifles in the game. It requires a sniper rifle score of 34000 to unlock.

It holds 7+1 rounds and is the last sniper rifle unlocked, requiring 42000 sniper rifle points.

F&D Defense FD338

The F&D Defense FD338, available in the Naval Strike DLC, is currently the only semi-automatic weapon in the sniper rifle category. It is called the "SR338" in the game, and has a capacity of 10+1 rounds. Despite firing .338 Lapua rounds, its damage model is significantly lower than its bolt-action .338 counterparts in order to balance its semi-auto advantage, to the point that it was the only sniper rifle incapable of killing in a single shot regardless of distance or hit location (It was so low that even a point-blank headshot couldn't kill a full-health enemy). The weapon has since been patched in an October 2014 update to allow it to kill with a single headshot out to a fairly short distance.

"M320 3GL"

The Naval Strike DLC added a fictional variant known as the "M320 3GL". It functions in a similar way to the real-world Metal Storm 3GL (from which its name is also taken) in that it fires 3 rounds from the same tube without reloading. However it simply reuses the standard M320 model used for the standard launcher, even to the point where it can be seen that only a single round is inserted into the tube during the reload animation.

The real-world Metal Storm 3GL 3-round grenade launcher in standalone configuration - 40mm. Note that this is significantly different to the "M320 3GL" model which appears in the game


Heckler & Koch XM25

In the live stream of Battlefield 4 during E3, players can be seen equipped with an Heckler & Koch XM25. It is usable by the Support class only. It too, like the M320 is capable of launching alternate ammunition ranging from its default Airburst, Dart and Smoke rounds. Using Dart ammunition increases the fire rate and it behaves similar to a semi-automatic shotgun with a Infrared Scope.

MBT LAW

The MBT LAW has been seen in multiple public multiplayer events. It is the easiest to use but also the weakest of the launchers as the Rocket fired has a self guidence system, providing it's close to the target and will automatically attack the weakest point (top armor).

RPG-7V2

The RPG-7V2 returns from Battlefield 3, now with the correct rear tube cover of the V2 model. It is the most powerful of unguided Anti-Tank launchers but is also the hardest use at range due to the arcing trajectory of the rocket in flight.

SA-18 Grouse

The SA-18 Grouse has been seen in multiple public multiplayer events. It is once again called the "SA-18 Igla". In-game it behaves differently from Battlefield 3 instead forgoing the use as a fire and forget launcher for use as a constant lock launcher. In posses the longest range of the AA Launchers but requires a near constant lock to maintain a hit, alternatively, a target can be reacquired even if the target used counter measures providing the missile is still in flight.

Metal Storm Technology Demonstrator

A turret utilizing the Metal Storm technology, called Schipunov 42 for some reason, is accessible in the Final Stand DLC maps, functioning like a big shotgun that can take out infantry, light vehicles, and low flying choppers. It is based closely on the "Bertha" one million rpm concept demonstrator: this is a little strange, since "Bertha" was never intended to be a practical weapon system. It fires off four volleys before having to reload.

Misc

Rorsch Mk-1 Railgun

The only truly fictional firearm in the game, the Mk-1 is a Railgun made by fictional manufacturer Rorsch who would later make the Rorsch Mk-S8 fixed railgun emplacement seen in Battlefield: 2142, which the Final Stand DLC is a prequel to; it is a Battle Pickup that can be found at certain locations on the Final Stand maps.. The stock portion of the rifle notably resembles the AW series, with the thumbhole stock, stock pad and spacers, location for the monopod, and general shape. According to its description it fires heavy sabot rounds, and while they have an extremely high velocity as one would expect from a railgun, they are not technically hitscan. The gun is single shot and once the trigger is pulled the gun must charge up for a full second before firing; it will kill infantry with one hit with a small blast radius, and does respectable damage to heavy vehicles. For reloading the user flicks a switch just forward of the trigger (presumibly a sort of circuit breaker that automatically trips after a round is fired, for safety), then presses a button on the top cover causing it to open and eject the spent casing, inserts a new round, closes the top cover, and readies the gun by using the charging handle on the left side. The gun's electronic scope, which also houses a blue laser sight, is mounted to a standard attachment rail on the top cover, while several other unused rails appear on the gun as well.
