Handguns

Beretta 92SB

Secondary weapon for all Joint Ops classes. It is a stand-in for the military M9. Called "M9 Baretta" ( note incorrect spelling, possibly a confusion between the American manufacturer Barrett and the Italian manufacturer Beretta ) ingame. This substitution also appears in Call of Duty's Modern Warfare series.

Beretta Model 92SB - 9x19mm (note rounded trigger guard and flat bottom magazine).

Note the rounded trigger guard, telltale of a 92SB. Also note the upside-down safety. The grip is correct of a M9.

Colt M1911A1

Secondary weapon for all classes. Called "Colt 1911A1". Both sides can use it.

World War II Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP. This was an issued U.S. Army pistol with parkerized finish, thus the official designation of M1911A1

Aiming and reloading. Note the engravings on the side that match the M911A1.

Exactly how the player reloads the revolver is unknown because it has neither a cylinder latch nor an ejector rod.

The MP5 without the suppressor.

The MP5 with the sound suppressor attached.

The MP5 is featured in multiple shelves in the armoury.

Rifles

Colt Model 727

The Colt Model 727 appears in the armory. It is probably a cut weapon in the final game,and is use the same model in Delta Force: Black Hawk Down.

The M4A1 comes with standard red-dot sight, free floating handguard and an ANPEQ laser pointer.

The world model of the M4A1 exhibits multiple inaccuracies such as the absence of a shell ejection port or the lack of a forward assist and the fact that it was modeled with a 16" barrel.

Norinco Type 56

Primary weapon for all Rebel classes. Available with and without the GP-30 grenade launcher to the Rifleman class. Called "AK-47" and "AK-47/GP-25" respectively Although it appears as the AK-47, the version in-game clearly has a hooded front sight.

Type 56 assault rifle aka M22 - 7.62x39mm. Rather than having the under-folding pig-sticker Bayonet assembly, this has the standard bayonet lug underneath the gas block as the AKM and later variants.

The front sight is waaaaaay to short on this rifle to be actually useful.

Norinco Type 84S

Primary weapon for all Rebel classes. Available with and without the GP-30 grenade launcher to the Rifleman class. Called "AK-74" and "AK-74/GP-25" respectively. 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.

Norinco Type 84S - 5.56x45mm

The Norinco Type 84S is equipped with a non-removable Kobra red-dot sight by default. It also lacks the holes in the foreguard.

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. Called "Stinger".
