Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter (2006)

Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter or G.R.A.W. is a tactical shooter, the third installment in the Ghost Recon series. It was released in 2006 for the PC, Xbox 360, Xbox & PS2. The PC, Xbox and PS2 versions are first-person shooters, while the X360 version is in the third-person perspective.

The game takes place in 2013. Scott Mitchell - the player's character - commands the Ghosts, an elite force which must protect the American and Mexican presidents, recover stolen military techs and battle Mexican rebels.

The following weapons appear in the video game Ghost Recon: Advanced Warfighter:

Overview

The game correctly tracks the +1 bullet in the chamber and the fire-mode selector can also be used.

The player can customize his weapons before each mission, however putting too many attachments on a gun will increase its weight and that will result in a moving, aiming and reloading penalty.

When a gun is reloaded all the remaining bullets in the magazine are lost.

Handguns

Beretta M9

The standard-issue sidearm of the U.S. Military and the Ghost Squad is the Beretta M9. Fires 9x19mm bullets, has a capacity of 15+1 rounds. It is the only semi-automatic handgun in the game. Can be modified with a sound suppressor.

Glock 18C

Ghost Team machine pistol. Appears as "G18" but it is actually a Glock 18C. Holds 19+1 rounds and cannot be modified. Available only in the PC version.

Glock 18C - 9x19mm

The G18C in the weapon selection menu. "AUSTRIA" and "9x19" can be seen on the slide. For some reason, it is modeled with an extended barrel.

Cpt. Scott Mitchell fires the G18C while aiming down the sights. Despite the high ROF and recoil, the Glock provides good accuracy at short to medium ranges.

The slide of the Glock 18C locks empty after a rapid burst. The auto reload feature of the game can be turned off, if the player wants even more realism during playing.

Cpt. Scott Mitchell reloads his Glock 18C on the roof of a building while waiting for the Black Hawk to arrive. Looks like he is inserting an empty magazine.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5SD6

The H&K MP5SD6 is used by just about every NATO counter-terrorist group in the world. The SMG of choice for the Ghost squad's covert-ops. In G.R.A.W. appears as "MP5SD" and can be modified with an Aimpoint sight. It is a secondary weapon in the game.

Assault Rifles

AK-47

The Type I AK-47 with 75-round drum mag appears as "AK-47-DRUM" in the game. It can be obtained through a DLC for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Type I AK-47 - 7.62x39mm

Model of the "AK-47-DRUM" or "AK-47 LMG". Note the hybrid stamped/milled receiver.

Barrett M468

The Barrett M468 with sliding stock and optional H&K XM320 grenade launcher can be obtained through a DLC for the Xbox 360 version of the game.

Barrett M468 - 6.8x43mm Rem SPC

Model of the Barrett M468 fitted with an XM320 grenade launcher. Note how the Aimpoint sight now does not have the flip-up covers. And since in the X360 version of G.R.A.W. the weapons cannot be modded, the "M468" and "M468-320" are treated as two separate weapons.

Crye Associates MR-C

The Crye Associates MR-C is a caseless bullpup assault rifle design proposed by Crye Precision; the "real" weapon was nothing more than a mock-up, and no working MR-C rifle ever existed. The main rifle of the Ghost Team, can be modified with holographic sight, sound suppressor and grenade launcher. Can fire in semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto modes and has a 50-round magazine.

FN SCAR-L

The FN SCAR-L appears with a desert (tan) finish. Has a capacity of 30+1 rounds. Used by the Ghost team, can be equipped with an Enhanced Grenade Launcher Module (EGLM), fore-grip, sound suppressor and Aimpoint sight.

FN SCAR-H CQC

The FN SCAR-H CQC fires the 7.62x51mm NATO, giving more power than the SCAR-L with its 5.56x45mm round. It can be modified with the same attachments as the "Light" version.

Heckler & Koch G36K

The G36K is carried by the Mexican soldiers throughout the game. It cannot be used by the Ghosts, but the magazines can be picked up and used for the XM8, XM8 Compact and SCAR-L. (The latter is incorrect, as the SCAR-L's STANAG magazine is not compatible with the polymer magazines the G36 rifle family uses.)

Close-up on the selector shows that the gun's texture is using the wrong pictographs. For some reason, the white pointer arrow is pointing at the wrong side also.

Heckler & Koch XM8

The Heckler & Koch XM8 can be equipped with an XM320 grenade launcher, precision sight and sound suppressor. In the XboX version of the game, the M320 is erroneously shown as having a forward-sliding barrel for loading (like the M203). The M320's barrel actually pivots to the side.

Heckler & Koch XM8 Compact

Smaller version of the XM8 used as a secondary weapon by the Ghost Team. Can be modified with a sound suppressor. Can fire in semi and full-auto. G.R.A.W. is the first game to feature the XM8 Compact.

Accuracy International AS50

British semi-automatic heavy sniper rifle, used by the Ghost team snipers to engage targets at long distances. Fires the 12.7x99mm (.50 Caliber) BMG round. Has a capacity of 10 rounds. Performance is similar to the Barrett M82 Sniper Rifle.

The AS50 Heavy Sniper Rifle - .50BMG

Barrett M99

Knight's Armament Company SR-25

KAC SR-25 - 7.62x51mm NATO

Model of the suppressed SR-25 sniper rifle. A similar rifle was later used in Rainbow Six: Vegas 2.

Machine Guns

FN Minimi SPW

The FN Minimi SPW light machine gun comes with a 180-round ammo box. This is the only LMG in the game and it cannot be modified; although it is equipped with a foregrip. The SPW incorrectly appears as "Mk 48", the 7.62x51mm variant of the M249 SAW, despite the game stating that it fires 5.56x45mm rounds.

General Dynamics XM312

In the Xbox 360 version of the game, the XM312 is listed in the game as the M50. It is used by Mexican and Rebel forces as a fixed heavy machine gun and can be used by the player during both single and multiplayer. In reality it was to replace the Browning M2HB, but the rate of fire was deemed too low. In game it lacks the scope assembly.

XM312 - .50 BMG

Grenade Launchers

Mk 19 grenade launcher

The Mk 19 grenade launcher is used by Mexican rebels throughout the game.

Mk 19 grenade launcher - 40mm

FN MK 13

The 40mm FN MK 13 appears as simply "Grenade Launcher" in the game. Can be mounted on the SCAR-L and SCAR-H rifles.

Anti-Armor

Lockheed Martin/IMI FGM-172 SRAW

The FGM-172 SRAW (Short Range Assault Weapon) is the anti-tank missile launcher used by the Ghost Team. It is a fire-and-forget missile launcher capable of destroying any enemy vehicle in one hit. Called "ZEUS MPAR" in the game.

Grenades

M61 Hand Grenade

The M61 hand grenade (an improved version of the M26 hand grenade) is the standard frag grenade the Ghosts use in the game. The presence of the M61 in the game is highly anachronistic, considering it was phased out and replaced by the M67 hand grenade after the Vietnam War.
