The Colt Model 654 appears in the armoury. It is probably the only weapon in the entire game to make an appearance and be inaccessible to the player at the same time.

Launchers

M224 Mortar

Available to both sides. When the 60 mm mortar is deployed, the player aims by way of a small map in the upper left corner of the screen. The yellow circle marks the AOE. It´s size increases with greater distance from the shooter.

FIM-92A Stinger

The only anti-air weapon, available only to the Engineer classes of both sides. An oddity during a short time after the release of the game (the developers reacted to the community criticism later on) was that the Stinger was close to obsolete over short distances: It required two missiles to take down an aerial vehicle, while the AT4 only needed one.

Interestingly, this and all the other shoulder-fired launchers use the same reticule.

Added with the Escalation expansion pack. Available to the Engineer class of both sides. The launcher needs to lock-on before it can be fired. The weapon was added as a countermeasure to the tanks that the expansion pack brought in.

Norinco Type 56 (Imported into the U.S. as the Norinco AKS-47 or AKS-47 Sporter) - 7.62x39mm. Rather than having the underfolder pig sticker Bayonet assembly, this has the standard Bayonet lug underneath the gas block as the AKM and later variants.

Norinco Type 84S

Primary weapon for all Rebel classes. Available with and without the GP-25 grenade launcher to the Rifleman class. Like the alleged AK-47, this actually is a Norinco Type 84. Oddly, the magazine appears to be 5.45x39mm, which would be correct for the AK-74.
