The [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1]] is the main sidearm for the US Army faction. It also appears in the hands of the British and Canadian factions, being a standard sidearm for specialised British units, such as the Commandos or the Paratroopers. Unlike in [[Battlefield 2]], where every class is issued a sidearm, only the non-commissioned officers, support gunners, snipers, pilots, commando units, tank crews and anti-tank infantry carry them in ''Forgotten Hope 2''. Each faction is only issued three magazines, or eighteen rounds in the case of the revolvers, and their short range and stopping power makes them only useful in desperate, close quarter situations. The weapon is merely referred to as the ''Colt M1911'' in-game, dropping the A1 designation. | The [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1]] is the main sidearm for the US Army faction.

The [[Browning Hi-Power]] is mainly used by Canadian anti-tank soldiers, quite possibly standing in for the [[Inglis Hi-Power]]. It is rarely found in rear-echelon German pickup kits such as mounted MG and mortar carriers. British commandos in-game used to be issued original P35 Browning Hi-Powers with adjustable sights and detachable stocks resembling Chinese-contract Inglis Hi-Powers, but they were replaced by Colt M1911A1s in the 2.57 update. Nonetheless, these stocked Hi-Powers have found their place in the hands of Finnish pilots in-game, who actually received and put to good use a fair amount of them during the Continuation War in real life. | The [[Browning Hi-Power]] is mainly used by Canadian anti-tank soldiers, quite possibly standing in for the [[Inglis Hi-Power]].

However, the Luftwaffe eventually took over production of the pistol, so it did see widespread use amongst its paratrooper corps. | The [[Sauer 38H]] is available as a sidearm for the German faction in some maps, especially those featuring the Fallschirmjäger.

Work In Progress This article is still under construction. It may contain factual errors. See Talk:Forgotten Hope 2 for current discussions. Content is subject to change. |
Forgotten Hope 2 is a modification for Battlefield 2. In the vein of Project Reality, it introduces new weapons, vehicles, factions and settings - in this case, the Second World War - as well as more realistic gameplay. It is the sequel to the 2003 Battlefield: 1942 modification, Forgotten Hope. Like its predecessor, Forgotten Hope 2 focuses on portraying many different battles of World War II as accurately as possible, paying special attention to the scale of the maps, the belligerent units and the weapons they used historically.
The following weapons appear in the video game Forgotten Hope 2:
Sidearms
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is the main sidearm for the US Army faction. It also appears in the hands of the British and Canadian factions, being a standard sidearm for specialised British units, such as the Commandos or the Paratroopers. Unlike in Battlefield 2, where every class is issued a sidearm, only the non-commissioned officers, support gunners, snipers, pilots, commando units, tank crews and anti-tank infantry carry them in Forgotten Hope 2. Each faction is only issued three magazines, or eighteen rounds in the case of the revolvers, and their short range and stopping power makes them only useful in desperate, close quarter situations. The weapon is merely referred to as the Colt M1911 in-game, dropping the A1 designation.
Colt M1917
The Colt version of the M1917 Revolver is carried as a back-up weapon by US Army support gunners. What appears to be a silver M1917 revolver also appears rarely in-game. One of its idle animations has the player character roll the sidearm on his trigger finger, fan the hammer and blow on the barrel in a Wild West-esque way.
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is mainly used by Canadian anti-tank soldiers, quite possibly standing in for the Inglis Hi-Power. It is rarely found in rear-echelon German pickup kits such as mounted MG and mortar carriers. British commandos in-game used to be issued original P35 Browning Hi-Powers with adjustable sights and detachable stocks resembling Chinese-contract Inglis Hi-Powers, but they were replaced by Colt M1911A1s in the 2.57 update. Nonetheless, these stocked Hi-Powers have found their place in the hands of Finnish pilots in-game, who actually received and put to good use a fair amount of them during the Continuation War in real life.
Webley Mk VI
The Webley Mk VI is the main sidearm for the Commonwealth faction (Great Britain, Canada, Australia and New Zealand) in-game.
Webley & Scott No. 3 Mk I
The Webley & Scott No. 3 Mk I flare pistol is issued to New Zealander LRDG Commandos in Operation Hyacinth. It fires a dull flare on a well-lit map and is of no use against enemy soldiers, making it practically useless except as scenery. It is referred to as the No3 Mk1 Very.
Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 is issued to Soviet and Polish non-commissioned officers, tankers and machine gunners with the pick-up DT machine gun. One version with a BraMit suppressor is issued to a commando/partisan pick-up kit with an MP40 and a satchel charge found in the map Studienka.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 serves as the main sidearm of the Soviet and Polish factions in-game. It is worth noting that the Polish faction in this game is based on the 1st Tadeusz Kościuszko Infantry Division, who fought on the Eastern Front, was under Soviet command and used Soviet weaponry.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is extensively used by Wehrmacht machine gunners and tank crews in maps set in the Mediterranean theatre of war. However, by 1943 it becomes largely supplemented by the Walther P38 and is very rarely ever seen.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is the main sidearm used by the German faction in-game beginning in 1943, the Luger being slightly more common in early war maps.
Sauer 38H
The Sauer 38H is available as a sidearm for the German faction in some maps, especially those featuring the Fallschirmjäger. Historically, the Sauer 38H was developed in Nazi Germany as a competitor for the Luger P08 and Walther P38, although the Sauer was mostly used by police officers whilst the Luger and Walther typically ended up amongst front-line troops. However, the Luftwaffe eventually took over production of the pistol, so it did see widespread use amongst its paratrooper corps.
Leuchtpistole 34
The Leuchtpistole 34 is used by the Italians in Operation Hyacinth. It basically acts as the Axis counterpart to the Webley & Scott flare gun.
Beretta M1934
The Beretta M1934 appears as the sidearm for the Italian faction. It is simply referred to as the Beretta 34 in-game.
Lahti L-35
The Lahti L-35 appears as Finland's service pistol.
Submachine Guns
M1928 Thompson
The M1928 Thompson is used by the Commonwealth factions in Greece, Crete and North Africa. Assault units are issued it with a 50-round drum magazine, whilst non-commissioned officers and other commando pick-up kits use 20-round stick magazines. It can fire in either semi or full-automatic mode. Out of all the submachine guns in the game, the Thompsons have the highest recoil.
M1928A1 Thompson
The M1928A1 Thompson is used by the British military in Tunisia and more rarely in Europe, as well as by the US Army in North Africa. There is also an incredibly rare M1928A1 Thompson kit for the Soviet marines at Motovskiy Bay who, according to official unit documents, had exactly 3 Thompsons at the time the battle took place, August 1942. It fires from both a 30-round stick magazine and a 50-round drum magazine, and in semi or full-automatic.
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson is used by the US and Canadian factions. British NCOs also use it on some Normandy maps. It feeds from a 30-round stick magazine or - very rarely seen - a 20-round stick magazine. Like the M1928, it fires in both semi and full-automatic.
M3 "Grease Gun"
On some maps beginning in July 1944, the M3 "Grease Gun" replaces the M1A1 Thompson as the weapon of choice for the US assault kit.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II is used by the British and Canadian factions in France. Regardless of the faction, all Stens in this game are Canadian-made, as noted by the skeleton stock and the markings on the magazine well.
Sten Mk IIS
The suppressed Sten Mk IIS is used by Royal Marine Commandos in Port-en-Bessin. It can overheat over prolongued periods of fully-automatic fire. Like the unsupressed Sten, it features the typically Canadian skeleton stock and Long Branch markings.
Sten Mk V
The Sten Mk V is used by British paratroopers in Pegasus Bridge. It can be fired in semi or full-automatic.
PPD-34
As of v2.57, the PPD-34 is only used by Soviet marine assault units at Motovskiy Bay. According to official documents of the 12th Naval Infantry Brigade, they were all armed with PPD-34s and PPD-40s in 1942, which is when the skirmish took place in real life. It appears with either a 25-round stick magazine or a 71-round drum magazine.
PPD-40
As of v2.57, the PPD-40 is only used by Soviet marine NCOs at Motovskiy Bay. Alongside the PPD-34, it was the only submachine gun available in their arsenal in 1942. It is always fitted with a 71-round drum magazine.
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is the standard submachine gun of the Soviet and Polish factions. It can be fired in semi or fully automatic, and can be used with a 35-round stick magazine or a 71-round drum magazine.
PPS-42
The PPS-42 appears as a secondary submachine gun for the Soviet faction in some Eastern Front maps, mainly used by engineers.
PPS-43
The PPS-43 appears as a secondary submachine gun for the Soviet and Polish factions, mainly used by engineers and anti-tank soldiers.
Steyr MP34
The Steyr MP34 is very rarely used by the Wehrmacht, only by reserve and static units during the Normandy landings, specifically at Gold Beach and Pointe du Hoc.
MP38
The MP38 is used by German assault units in pre-1943 maps.
MP40
The MP40 is, rather unsurprisingly, the mainstay submachine gun of the German faction. However, it is much less common in early war maps, being mostly substituted by the MP38.
Beretta M38A
The Beretta M38A is used by the Italian faction, and in a few very rare German pick-up kits in areas such as Normandy or the Eastern Front. In reality, the Germans were known for loving the Beretta M38, and they did use it in combat. The M38/43 was even adopted by the Wehrmacht late in the war. According to the mod's developers, the Beretta M38 in those German kits is supposed to stand in for the M38/43. The real weapon had two triggers - one for semi-auto, one for full-auto -; the model in-game only has one trigger, yet it can still change between firemodes.
Suomi KP/-31
The Suomi KP/-31 is the main submachine gun used by Finland. It has two variants which see roughly equal use - the standard KP/-31, with a 71-round drum magazine and used by most assault units, and the KP/-31 SJR, which features a muzzle brake and a 50-round "coffin" magazine, used by NCOs.
Rifles
M1903A1 Springfield
The M1903A1 Springfield rifle is, as of v2.57, exclusively used by US Army Ranger recon units during the Normandy landings. This is historically accurate - US Rangers are known to have chosen the M1903A1 Springfield over other weapons in their inventory for certain missions.
M1903A3 Springfield
The M1903A3 Springfield is used by the US Army in a variety of roles. It appears as a service rifle in Sidi Bou Zid used by American recon units and engineers alike, but it is relegated to a more secondary role after the Normandy landings - it is part of the American pick-up ammunition kit found in most maps in the game, and a unique grenadier kit with an M1903A3 and two different types of rifle grenades can be picked up in Hürtgen Forest. It can be fitted with an M1905 sword bayonet regardless of the map.
M1903A4 Springfield
The M1903A4 Springfield with a Model 330 Weaver scope is the sniper rifle used by the US Army faction. Unlike in Battlefield 2, where there is a default sniper class, sniper rifles in Forgotten Hope 2 function as "Easter eggs," as they can be only picked up from odd locations in maps, such as the main base or recently captured spawn points.
M1917 Enfield
As of v2.57, the M1917 Enfield can only be found in Sidi Bou Zid as a pick-up weapon, either in an engineer or an ammunition kit. Due to practical and engine reasons, the M1917 Enfield in-game is only reloaded via a 5-round stripper clip, even though it has a 6-round internal magazine.
M1 Garand
Unsurprisingly, the M1 Garand makes an appearance as the main service rifle of the US Army faction. Depending on the map it can be fitted with an M1905 sword bayonet or an M1 bayonet and, on most if not all maps, an M7 rifle grenade launcher.
M1 carbine
The M1 carbine is primarily used by US Army engineers, NCOs and mortar and MG carriers. It is modelled with the buttstock twin magazine pouch. It is referred to as the .30Cal M1 Carbine.
M1A1 carbine
The M1A1 carbine appears in maps featuring the 101st Airborne Division. It is referred to as the .30Cal M1A1 Carbine.
Pattern 1914 Enfield No. 3 Mk I* (T)
The earliest model of the M1917 Enfield, the Pattern 1914 Enfield, fitted with an Aldis 1918 scope, appears as the Commonwealth's sniper rifle for maps set in Greece, Crete and North Africa. Captured examples are also used by the Italians as their main sniper rifle.
Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III*
The Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* is the main weapon of Commonwealth forces in Greece, Crete and North Africa. It can be fitted with a Pattern 1907 bayonet and a cup grenade discharger on all maps. It is easily distinguished from the No. 4 Mk I by its stubbier shape, shorter muzzle, and tangent rear sight.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I
British and Canadian forces fighting in France use the Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I. It can be fitted with a spike bayonet and, on most maps, the SMLE's proprietary cup grenade launcher. In contrast to the No. 1 Mk III*, it has an aperture rear sight.
Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T)
The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I (T) is used as a sniper rifle by British and Canadian forces in France.
Boys Mk I
Commonwealth soldiers in Greece, Crete and North Africa use the Boys Mk I anti-tank rifle as their primary anti-tank weapon, which must be deployed to fire.
Mosin-Nagant M91/30
The Mosin-Nagant M91/30 is the main weapon of the Soviet and Polish factions in-game. It can be fitted with a bayonet. Interestingly, the game features two different Mosin models - one with the WW2-era round receiver, which is the main model used; and one with an hexagonal receiver indicative of an early pre-1936 production rifle, used by the Soviet marines at Motovskiy Bay and in pick-up ammunition kits. A unique hexagonal receiver variant equipped with a BraMit suppressor part of a "partisan" kit can be picked up in Studienka.
Mosin-Nagant M91/30 with PU scope
The scoped Mosin-Nagant M91/30 serves as the Soviet, Polish and Finnish factions' sniper rifle, fitted with a PU scope. A unique variant with a hexagonal receiver equipped with a BraMit suppressor can be picked up at Motovskiy Bay. Only on the Dukla Pass and Ihantala maps, the scoped Mosin-Nagant can be loaded with explosive "PZ" rounds - the Germans and Soviets both developed exploding ammunition to be used in aircraft machine guns with spotting intent, but these rounds were at some point repurposed by sharpshooters of both nations fighting on the Eastern front.
Mosin-Nagant M38
The Mosin-Nagant M38 carbine appears as a secondary weapon for the Soviets, especially used by engineers and NCOs. It is the main rifle used by the Soviet cavalry division featured in the map Studienka. Unlike its full-size variant, it cannot be fitted with a bayonet.
Mosin-Nagant M44
The Mosin-Nagant M44 carbine appears as a main weapon for Soviet engineers and NCOs in Seelow Heights. It has a usable side-folding bayonet.
Tokarev SVT-40
The Tokarev SVT-40 appears as the Soviet and Polish factions' main semi-automatic rifle. Its real-life evolution is properly depicted in-game - in 1942 it appears as a spawnable and unlimited weapon for everyone, by 1943 it becomes a limited weapon, and by 1944 it can only be found as an "Easter egg" pick-up weapon. Interestingly, the Germans at Motovskiy Bay can use the SVT-40 - the Wehrmacht did issue a large quantity of SVT-40s before they developed their own domestic semi-automatic rifles.
Tokarev SVT-40 with PU scope
The SVT-40 with a PU scope can be found as an "Easter egg" pick-up sniper kit for the Soviets and Poles.
Tokarev AVT-40
The fully-automatic AVT-40 is mostly found as a pick-up weapon for the Soviets. Interestingly enough, Polish NCOs can opt to spawn with it directly in the Lenino map. The weapon can actually overheat and it has a very long cooldown timeout, so as to simulate the real weapon's frequent jams. Like its semi-automatic variant, it can be fitted with a bayonet.
PTRD-41
The PTRD-41 anti-tank rifle appears as a pickup kit for the Soviet and Polish factions. It is a single-shot rifle that needs to be deployed to fire.
PTRS-41
The PTRS-41 is another pickup anti-tank rifle used by the Soviets, but rarer than the PTRD-41. It also needs to be deployed to fire.
Karabiner 98k
The Karabiner 98k is the main weapon of the Wehrmacht faction in-game. It can be fitted with an S84/98 III bayonet and, on most maps, a rifle grenade launcher. An interesting difference in models from maps set in North Africa and post-D-Day Europe is the iron sights - the former models feature pre-war unhooded front sights, whilst the latter ones have wartime hooded front sights, making them more accurate.
Karabiner 98k with ZF41
The Karabiner 98k can be rarely found fitted with a Zeiss ZF41 1.5x scope, mostly as a pick-up kit in maps set after Operation Overlord is over. For some odd reason, a bayonet cannot be fitted onto this specific variant.
Karabiner 98k with "dow" scope
Oddly, the sniper variants of the Karabiner 98k in-game are not equipped with Zeiss ZF39 or ZF42 scopes - but rather, "dow" centre-focus scopes. "dow" was the Nazi manufacturing code for the Czech Optikotechna factory, where the scope portrayed in-game was manufactured. Furthermore, the particular way the scope is mounted onto the rifle is known as a "Long Side Rail," which didn't become all that common until late 1944. Therefore, this specific sniper rifle is seen in an anachronistic setting most of the time. The Karabiner 98k sharpshooter rifles at Motovskiy Bay can be loaded with explosive "B-Patrone" rounds, originally intended for aircraft machine guns but later repurposed by German snipers.
Gewehr 33/40
The Gewehr 33/40 appears in pre-1943 maps featuring the Gebirgsjäger (German mountain troops). In real life, the Gewehr 33/40 was based on the Czech vz. 33. During the German occupation of Czechoslovakia, production of these carbines continued until 1942, and they were issued to German soldiers operating in harsh mountainous terrain. Production of the Gewehr 33/40 was ceased in 1942 and converted to produce standard-issue Karabiner 98k rifles.
Steyr VK-98
The VK-98 (VK standing for Volkssturmkarabiner) appears as an "Easter egg" kit in the Seelow Heights map: the weapon in-game is single shot. In real life, the VK-98 (aka VG-5) was a "last-ditch" rifle produced by Steyr for German militia use, early versions from surplus Kar 98 parts with later guns using simplified and crudely-made components. Most known examples do have a functioning magazine, either a normal Kar 98 receiver or later a "blind" magazine without an external floorplate. The idea the VK-98 was single-shot is described by various sources such as modernfirearms.net and Small Arms of the World by W.H.B. Smith, and appears to be based on generalising the traits of the VK-98 from uncommon examples that had no magazine.
Gewehr 41(W)
The successful Walther version of the Gewehr 41 appears in the game as a relatively uncommon weapon for German riflemen in the European theatre of war, especially prior to the adoption of the Gewehr 43. Depending on the map, it can be either spawnable or a pick-up kit.
Gewehr 43
The Gewehr 43 makes an appearance in maps set post-1943. It is normally issued to NCOs, riflemen and recon units.
Gewehr 43 with ZF4
The Gewehr 43 can be found with a ZF4 scope as a pick-up sniper kit for the Germans.
FG 42
The late-pattern FG 42 is used by the German Fallschirmjäger in the Purple Heart Lane and Saint-Lô maps, and also appears as an "Easter egg" on other maps. It can be deployed and fired at both semi and full automatic, but the game does not make a distinction between closed bolt (for semi-auto) and open bolt (for full-auto). As can be expected, it has a tremendous amount of horizontal recoil.
FG 42 with ZFG42
The scoped FG 42 is found as a rare pick-up kit in both Purple Heart Lane and Saint-Lô.
Sturmgewehr 44
The Sturmgewehr 44 first appears as an "Easter egg" weapon in maps set in post D-Day France. Beginning in July 1944 and especially on maps set during the Battle of the Bulge, the StG 44 appears as a spawnable weapon for the German faction, and in Seelow Heights it can be used without a limit. It can be fired in both semi and full-automatic.
Sturmgewehr 44 with ZF4
The scoped StG 44 is one of the rarest weapons in the game, only found in one map at a barely conspicuous location - at the top floor of a windmill in Villers-Bocage. It is part of a pick-up commando kit that includes a pistol and an explosive charge.
Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr
The Volkssturmgewehr 1-5 appears as a pickup kit for the Germans in the Seelow Heights map. In reality, the VG 1-5 was designed for the Volkssturm and actually used during the defense of Germany from Allied forces.
Panzerbüchse 39
The Panzerbüchse 39 is used by German soldiers in Greece, Crete and North Africa. It must be deployed to fire.
Carcano M91
The Carcano M91 is the main rifle for Italian riflemen. It can be fitted with a bayonet.
Carcano M91/38
The Carcano M91/38 is also issued to the Italian faction, used by recon units, engineers and NCOs. Like the Carcano 91, it can be fitted with a bayonet.
Mosin-Nagant M/39 "Ukko-Pekka"
The M/39 "Ukko-Pekka" is the service rifle of the Finnish faction. The M/39 had already become established as Finland's only service rifle by mid-1944, which is when the Finnish maps take place in-game.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun"
The Winchester Model 1912 "Trench Gun" is used by the US Army. Unlike most World War II-era FPS, shotguns are incredibly rare in Forgotten Hope 2, as they were in real life. The United States mostly employed them on the Pacific theatre. Thus, the Winchester M12 appears as a very rare pick-up kit exclusive to a few maps such as Pointe du Hoc. It also appears as the main primary weapon of the US anti-tank soldier in co-op mode.
M30 Luftwaffe Drilling
The M30 Luftwaffe Drilling appears as a rare pick-up weapon for German pilots, firing two 12 gauge rounds and one extremely powerful 9.3mm shot. There is another special "Easter egg" kit, popularly called the "angry farmer kit" amongst the community, which includes this shotgun along with a pitchfork.
Machine Guns
M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle
The M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle is the main weapon for the US faction support class. It is fired from the hip at 450 rpm, but it can be deployed and set to 600 rpm for more stabilized and faster firing and accuracy. The player has to be prone to use the bipod. Amusingly, in the map Ramelle-Neuville, a reference to the climactic battle of Saving Private Ryan, the BAR used by PFC Reiben (Edward Burns) in the film has been modelled for the game, with the bipod removed and the added ability to fire at both the default 450 rpm and the increased 600 rpm used by Reiben in the film. This bipod-less BAR also appears in the map Brest.
Browning M1919A6
The Browning M1919A6 is only used by the US Army in maps set following Operation Overlord, notably during the Battle of the Bulge. It has to be deployed to fire. It can also be found in stationary machine gun nests.
Bren Mk I
The Bren Mk I is the main weapon for the Commonwealth support gunner class in maps set in the Mediterranean theatre of war. It can be deployed for more stable fire and accuracy, and fired in semi or full-automatic. It also appears mounted in a tripod anti-aircraft stand, and on the Daimler Dingo Mk I and the Universal Carrier.
Bren Mk II
The Bren Mk II is used by British and Canadian support gunners fighting in France, and is commonly mounted on vehicles such as the Dingo and Universal Carrier.
Lewis Gun
The Mk I version of the Lewis Gun, which has to be deployed in the prone position to be fired, is used by the Commonwealth in the very early game, especially by the LRDG, but by the British and Australians as an "Easter egg" kit as well. It is also mounted in machine gun nests and bunkers and on Chevy 30WCT jeeps alongside the Vickers Mk I, and in the hull of LCA (Landing Craft, Assault) transports. The aircraft Lewis Mk II with a 97-round pan magazine is mounted in the tailgunner seat of the Hawker Hardy light bomber.
Degtyaryov DP-28
The Degtyaryov DP-28 is the main weapon of the Soviet, Finnish and Polish machine gunner classes. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position for more stability, and in semi-auto - although incorrectly - or full-auto.
Degtyaryov DT
The Degtyaryov DT in its infantry version appears as an "easter egg" machine gun for the Soviet and Finnish factions. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position, and in semi - incorrectly - or full-automatic. It is also mounted on fixed defensive positions and on most, if not all, Soviet armoured vehicles.
ZB Vz. 26
The ZB-26 is carried by German soldiers in some Normandy maps, especially in those set in early to mid June. This is historically accurate, as the Wehrmacht were so impressed by the Czech machine gun they adopted it under the designation of MG26(t). It fires in either semi or full-automatic and can be deployed on its bipod.
MG34
The MG34 is carried by German machine gunners in maps set roughly before 1943. It can also be seen mounted on a Lafette tripod with a 1.5x optical sight and in machine gun nests and bunkers. The Lafette is both in fixed positions and can be picked up as a deployable "Easter egg". The MG34 is mounted on virtually all German armoured vehicles as a coaxial and/or turret machine gun. It also appears dual-mounted on an anti-aircraft Zwillingsockel 36 mount.
MG42
The MG42 is used by German machine gunners from 1943 onwards. It has to be deployed to fire. It can be seen mounted in machine gun nests and bunkers, on the Lafette tripod with a 1.5x optical sight, and on the front and back of the SdKfz 251/1 Ausf. D "Hanomag" half-track, in the turret of the SdKfz 234/2 "Puma" armored car and on the turret of the Panther Ausf. A and Ausf. G tanks. The Lafette is both in fixed positions and can be picked up as a deployable "Easter egg".
Breda Modello 30
The Breda Modello 30 is carried by Italian machine gunners. It has to be deployed to fire, and can only fire in full-auto. It used to have two firemodes, but it has been since v2.56 fixed.
Lahti-Saloranta M/26
The Lahti-Saloranta M/26 is found as an "Easter egg" weapon for the Finnish faction. It can be fired from the hip or from a deployed position, and can operate in semi or full-automatic. Its rare appearance in-game is indicative of what happened in real life - it used to be Finland's standard light machine gun, but over the course of time Finnish machine gunners found they preferred the DP-28 machine gun. All in all, there were more DP-28s than LS/26s in service by mid-1944.
Emplaced Machine Guns
Browning M1917A1
The Browning M1917 can be used by US forces as an "Easter egg", deployed by throwing down the portable tripod. It is mounted on some Willys MB jeeps, the M3A1 scout car and the M3 half-track.
Browning M1919A4
The Browning M1919A4 can be picked up from US bases and depots as an "Easter egg". It is deployed by throwing down the portable tripod, which sets up the gun in a prone position on an M2 tripod. The M1919A4 is also mounted coaxially on most American armoured vehicles.
Browning M2HB
The Browning M2HB appears turret-mounted on the Stuart "Recce", M3A1 and M5A1 half-tracks, M8 Greyhound, Sherman V, the M4A3, M4A3(76)W, M4A3(105) Shermans, the M4A3E2(75) and M4A3E2(76) Sherman Jumbo tanks and the Archilles IIC, M10, M18 Hellcat and M36 tank destroyers. The M51 Quad Mounted System is also mounted at US bases and on the M16 MGMC (a half-track fitted with the M51). The maps set during the Tunisian campaign feature the M33 dual-50 anti-aircraft mount and the M13 MGMC (a half-track fitted with a M33). Several maps feature the M2HB on a stand in defensive positions.
Browning .50 AN/M2
The Browning .50 AN/M2 is mounted on the P-40E "Kittyhawk", the P-51D Mustang, the P-47D Thunderbolt and the Spitfire Mk IX.
Vickers Mk I
The Vickers Mk I is used by Commonwealth forces in-game. It can be picked up and deployed into a stationary weapon via a tripod, found mounted in machine gun nests or on Chevy 30WCT jeeps, Universal Carriers, Vickers Mk VIB light tanks and Hawker Hardy planes.
Vickers K
The Vickers K can be seen dual-mounted on Willys MB jeeps used by the LRDG (Long Range Desert Group) in North Africa.
Vickers .50
The Vickers .50 machine gun is mounted on the Vickers Mk VIB light tank.
Besa Machine Gun
The Besa Machine Gun is pintle and coaxially-mounted on most British-made armoured vehicles.
Browning Mk II
The Browning Mk II, a British copy of the AN/M2 chambered in .303 British, is mounted on the Hawker Hurricane, the Spitfire Mk VB and the Type 156 Beaufighter.
Maxim M1910
The Maxim M1910 is the main stationary machine gun used by Soviet, Polish and Finnish forces. Unlike other tripod-mounted machine guns, it cannot be deployed manually. It also appears quad-mounted as a ZPU anti-aircraft gun, mounted on the back of Studebaker US6 trucks used by the Polish on Lenino.
DShK
The original DShK is seen mounted on the turret of Soviet ISU-152 self-propelled guns.
ShKAS
The ShKAS is mounted on Soviet and Polish Polikarpov Po-2 and Il-2 "Sturmovik" light bombers.
Berezin UBT
The Berezin UBT is mounted on the rear turret of the Il-2 "Sturmovik" light bomber.
MG15
The MG15, fitted with 75-round double drum magazines, is mounted in German bunkers as a light anti-aircraft and anti-personnel weapon, and on the tailgunner seat of the Ju 87B-2 "Stuka".
MG17
The MG17 is mounted on Messerschmitt Bf 109 fighter planes and Junkers Ju 87 "Stukas".
MG81Z
The dual MG81Z is seen mounted on an anti-aircraft stand in the Mareth Line map, and also seen mounted on the tailgunner seat of the Ju 87D "Stuka".
ZB-53
The ZB-53 is mounted on the hull of the Marder III tank destroyer under the designation of MG37(t).
Reibel Machine Gun
The Reibel Machine Gun appears mounted in the turret of German-captured SOMUA S35 tanks, known in German service as Panzerkampfwagen 35-S 739(f).
MG131
The MG131 machine gun is mounted on the German Fw 190A-8 fighter plane.
Breda Modello 37
The Breda Modello 37 can be seen tripod mounted in-game, and can be deployed via an "Easter egg" tripod kit. It is also bipod-mounted in Italian machine gun nests, and on the Camionetta 42 "Sahariana" scout car.
Breda Modello 38
The Breda Modello 38 is mounted coaxially on the Carro Armato L6/40 light tank and Fiat M11/39 and Carro Armato M13/40 medium tanks used by the Italian faction.
Breda-SAFAT
The Breda-SAFAT machine gun is mounted on the Italian Macchi C.200 "Saetta" and Macchi C.202 "Folgore" fighters.
Launchers
M1 Rifle Grenade Launcher
The M1 Rifle Grenade Launcher can be mounted on the M1903A3 Springfields used by US engineers and grenadiers. Depending on the map, it can fire either anti-tank or Mk 2 hand grenades. Note that Forgotten Hope 2 actually depicts the correct procedure for using a rifle grenade: loading a blank round in the chamber before firing.
M7 Rifle Grenade Launcher
The M7 Rifle Grenade Launcher can be mounted on the M1 Garand. It fires Mk 2 hand grenades on an M1A2 rifle grenade adapter. The game accurately depicts the rifle losing its semi-auto functionality with the launcher attached, with the player character cycling the bolt after every shot both to load a blank and to cock it.
Lee-Enfield cup grenade discharger
The Lee-Enfield cup grenade discharger can be mounted on the Lee-Enfield No. 1 Mk III* and - incorrectly - the No. 4 Mk I rifle. It can fire either No. 36 "Mills" grenades or anti-tank grenades.
Gewehrgranatengerät
The Gewehrgranatengerät can be mounted onto the Karabiner 98k on most maps. Depending on the map, it can be loaded with a Gewehr-Sprenggranate (standard anti-personnel grenade) or a Gross Gewehr-Panzergranate (shaped charge anti-armor grenade).
M1 "Bazooka"
The M1 "Bazooka" is used by the US faction in the Tunisian campaign.
M1A1 "Bazooka"
The M1A1 "Bazooka" replaces the M1 for the maps set in Normandy.
M9A1 "Bazooka"
The M9A1 "Bazooka" is used by the US faction on the maps set during the Battle of the Bulge.
M1A1 Flamethrower
The M1A1 Flamethrower is only found as a pick-up kit for the US faction during the landings at Omaha Beach and Pointe du Hoc. It is one of the most powerful weapons in the game, since it has a huge amount of ammunition and its flames can instantly kill anyone who crosses them, including allied units.
PIAT
The PIAT is used by the British and Canadian factions in Normandy.
Faustpatrone
As of v2.57, the Faustpatrone or Panzerfaust 30 klein is only available to the Germans on the map Lenino. It is a very light close-range disposable launcher.
Panzerfaust 30
The Panzerfaust 30 is, going off by the numbers, the most common anti-tank weapon used by the German faction. It has the same range as the Faustpatrone, but it is a little more powerful owing to its larger size and warhead. The Finnish also use Panzerfäuste bought from Germany, and the Soviets start using them in their 1945 offensives, as seen on the map Seelow Heights, and as recommended by Georgiy Zhukov himself in real life.
Panzerfaust 60/100
The Panzerfaust 60 is also used by the German faction as an anti-tank weapon, but it is much less common than the Panzerfaust 30, being only found in maps set beginning in mid-to-late 1944. Meanwhile, the Panzerfaust 100 is even rarer, found only as a pick-up kit in maps set beginning in late 1944. As can be deduced, both of them are more powerful and have more range than their previous iterations.
RPzB 54 "Panzerschreck"
The RPzB 54 "Panzerschreck" is seen in many maps as a pick-up weapon for the Germans and Finnish, who actually received many of them from Germany in 1944.
Luftfaust
The Luftfaust, also known as the Fliegerfaust B, is an unguided anti-aircraft launcher only found as a pick-up kit for the Germans in Seelow Heights. Little is known about the Luftfaust, but it is acknowledged that around 80 launchers were trialed by a unit in Saarbrücken, and there is a photograph of three discarded Luftfaust launchers lying in the rubble of the Hotel Adlon during the 1945 Battle of Berlin. So, its use at the Seelow Heights is not too farfetched.

Only on the Mareth Line map is the No. 75 "Hawkins" actually issued to the anti-tank kit. In-game, it functions both as an anti-tank grenade and an anti-tank mine - one can throw it at the ground and any vehicle that drives over it will be destroyed, but it can also be thrown directly at a vehicle to destroy it straight away.
No. 77 Smoke Grenade
The No. 77 Smoke Grenade is the main smoke grenade used by all Commonwealth factions, regardless of the theatre of war. Mimicking its real-life characteristics, it doubles as a smoke grenade and a white phosphorus grenade, damaging anyone caught in its impact radius.
