Delta Force: Black Hawk Down (2003)

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre (2004)

Delta Force: Black Hawk Down is a first-person shooter video game and the sixth installment of the Delta Force series, developed and published by NovaLogic and released on March 2003 for the PC, Mac OS X, PlayStation 2 and Xbox.

The storyline takes place in the year 1993, during both Operation Restore Hope and Operation Gothic Serpent, as part of the Somalian Civil War. On the first missions, the player takes the role as Task Force Ranger and 10th Mountain Division soldier, later as a Delta Force operator.

On January 20, 2004, an expansion pack called Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre was released, featuring two new single-player campaigns taking place in Colombia and Iran, also introducing a few more weapons and vehicles.

The following weapons appear in the video games Delta Force: Black Hawk Down and Delta Force: Black Hawk Down - Team Sabre:

Handguns

Beretta Hybrid

An indistinct model of the Beretta 92, identified as the M9, is the main sidearm of Task Force Ranger and the 10th Mountain Division, featuring a 15-round magazine and higher accuracy than the M1911A1 in exchange for less power per-shot. Delta Force operators are seen with M9s in leg holsters. Despite its in-game name, the actual base 92FS model that had been issued as the M9 is not present; the inventory image shows it with the shortened barrel and slide of the Centurion. The in-game model likewise appears to be a hybrid of the earlier 92S and 92SB, featuring a rounded trigger guard, with the safety/decocker only modeled on the left side like the 92S, but with its reload animation suggesting the magazine release button is at the base of the trigger guard like the 92SB.

Beretta 92SB - 9x19mm. From this angle, it differs from the 92S only by the location of its magazine-release button.

In-game Beretta.

Reloading the hybrid Beretta. Note the rounded trigger guard. The player character's fingers never move enough to actually show the mag release, though they do move in a way that suggests it's at the trigger guard.

M1911A1

The M1911A1, called "Colt .45" in-game, is the main sidearm of Delta Force. Is more powerful than the Beretta but less accurate.

World War II issued Colt M1911A1 Pistol - .45 ACP

M1911A1 in gear selection menu. Given this pistol's particular features (straight grip at the rear, short beavertail, trigger and hammer), it is possible this is an image of an older M1911 rather than a M1911A1.

In-game M1911A1.

Reloading the M1911A1 in-game. Note the oddly-angled trigger guard on the game model.

Shotguns

Remington Model 870

The Remington Model 870 is the only available shotgun in the game. Not accurate but very powerful. Can be found under the secondary weapon category.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5SD3

The Heckler & Koch MP5SD3, simply referred to as "MP5" in-game, is the only submachine gun featured, and is specific to the CQB class, only available to Delta Force. Note that, in the gear selection menu, an image of an MP5A3 fitted with a suppressor is erroneously displayed instead.

"MP5" in gear selection menu. Note that this is an MP5A3 with mounted suppressor and not an MP5SD3 as shown in-game.

MP5SD3 in-game. The weapon can be easily identified as an MP5SD3 by the integral suppressor.

Rifles / Carbines

Colt Model 727

The Colt Model 727, incorrectly called "CAR-15" in-game, is the main weapon of Delta Force, featuring Aimpoint CompM2 red dot sight and available only to Delta Force. A version with M203 grenade launcher is also featured in-game. Of note is the in-game weapon model is that of a Model 727, while the selection screen shows a GAU-5/A carbine (AKA the Colt Model 610 - The U.S. Air Force adopted version of the XM177) for the standard rifle. A 727 is correctly shown for the M203-mounted version.

"CAR-15" in gear selection menu. This image is actually that of an Air Force GAU-5/A carbine, with the older CAR-15/XM177-style flash moderator. It can be noted as the USAF GAU-5/A and not an XM177E1 due to the lack of a forward assist.

In-game Model 727.

In-game Model 727/M203.

M16A2

The M16A2, called "M16" in-game, is the main weapon of Task Force Ranger and 10th Mountain Division soldiers, and can be fired on semi-auto and 3-round burst. A version with M203 grenade launcher is also featured in the game. Note that the M16A2 has an incorrect 14.5" barrel like the Colt Model 727, though ironically the M16A2/M203 combo version has the right 20" barrel. Another note of interest are two modeling mistakes: The first one will be the M16A2's left side is actually the mirror of the right side, same as in the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare series, eventually lacks the forward assist, brass deflector, ejection port and its dust cover and magazine release button, and the second one is while the NPCs are firing their weapons on 3-round burst, their fire selector switch is set on semi-auto.
