Civilization IV

Civilization IV (2005)

Civilization IV is a 2005 turn based strategy developed by Firaxis, and created by Sid Meier. The premise of the game is starting with a band of settlers in the year 4000 B.C. and creating a civilization to stand the test of time. Once the player enters the Industrial Era and beyond they have the ability to create units armed with many firearms. While the graphics are low quality (Which makes some guns difficult to I.D.), many guns are very intricate in their design and easily recognizable.

Here are the weapons available in Civilization IV:

Webley Revolver

If the player is granted a Great General in the Industrial Age and beyond, the Unit is seen wielding a blocky looking Single Action Army. The look of the General appears to be based off of George S. Patton, so the use of a Colt SAA is fitting.

M4A1 Carbine w/ M203

The Navy SEAL Unit wields M4A1 Carbines mounted with M203 Grenade Launchers (Which are unusable). The M4s also seem to have silencers on them. Also unlike most movies and video games, the guns fire nearly as loud as they normally would.

AT4

The SAM Infantry Unit bizarrely wield M136 AT4's that are fitted with foregrips and shoulder rests. As their name emplies, they use these against aircraft only, opting to use their Skorpions against any ground unit.
