This page is for the 2010 video game. For the first game in the franchise, see Medal of Honor (1999).
Medal of Honor is a video game developed by Danger Close (single player), DICE (multiplayer), and published by Electronic Arts for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 platforms. The game's storyline is set in the year 2002 during the first stages of the ongoing War in Afghanistan, where the player is controlling various characters of the U.S. Military's special operations units, called "Tier 1 Operators". The characters included are Chief Petty Officer "Rabbit" of AFO Neptune, assigned to DEVGRU, Specialist Dante Adams, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, "Deuce" of AFO Wolfpack, assigned to the 1st Special Forces Operational Detachment-Delta, and Captain Brad "Hawk" Hawkins, an Army AH-64 Apache gunner callsign "Gunfighter 06", assigned to the 1st Attack Reconnaissance Battalion, 1st Aviation Regiment.
The following weapons appear in the video game Medal of Honor:
Overview
Single-Player
During the single-player campaign, the player's character is allowed to carry two primary weapons and a pistol. Pistols are tertiary weapons, which cannot be swapped away, but have unlimited ammunition.
The single player part of the game correctly tracks the +1 round in the chamber and the fire-mode selector switch can be used on most of the weapons (the only exceptions are the Kalashnikov variants).
Multiplayer
The multiplayer part of the game uses the well-known class system seen in DICE's Battlefield series of video games. The player is allowed to choose between three classes, and rank up separately. Riflemen use assault rifles with grenade launchers, machine guns and smoke grenades for cover. The Special Ops class features shotguns, carbines and rocket launchers as special weapons. Snipers can choose between battle rifles and sniper rifles.
Regardless of faction, each weapon can be equipped with three different attachments at the same time. Various sights, muzzle attachments or special ammunition can be chosen to tweak the guns to meet the operator's needs.
In MP, the +1 round in the chambers is not present, and the player's character does not chamber a new round on most of the weapons when both the magazine and chamber are empty, only simply swaps the magazines. The same "feature" can be seen in DICE's previous game; Battlefield: Bad Company 2.
Pistols
SIG-Sauer P226R
The SIG-Sauer P226R is Rabbit's signature pistol. Its 9mm rounds are fed from Mec-Gar's 18-round flush fit magazines, giving it an 18+1 maximum capacity.

Rabbit reloads his P226R. "P226" can be seen on the grip.
When a pistol runs empty, the characters always pull the slide to release it, instead of using the slide release lever; this procedure, while non-standard, is advocated by a number of respected firearms trainers. This applies to every pistol in the single-player part of the game.
Glock 17
A Glock 17 with a tan frame is Deuce's signature sidearm. 15+1 magazine capacity. While modeled after the Glock 17, the magazine capacity is that of a Glock 19, a weapon commonly carried by AFO personnel.

Beretta M9
SINGLE-PLAYER:
In the single player campaign the Beretta M9 is Spc. Dante Adams' signature sidearm, where it has the correct 15+1 magazine capacity. The firing sound of the M9 in-game is the same as the Medal of Honor: Airborne's M1911A1.

Belly of the Beast.

Spc. Dante's Beretta locks empty. Note that although the hammer is always back, the trigger is in uncocked position.
MULTIPLAYER:
The Beretta M9 is the standard Coalition sidearm in the multiplayer. It has the same (incorrect) 12-round magazine capacity as seen in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and the hammer is never cocked, unlike in single-player.

Good view of the iron sights.
M9 being reloaded. Notice how there are no bullets in the new magazine, and the lack of feed lips on the magazine itself.
Izhmekh MP-443 "Grach"
The MP-443 "Grach" is the standard Taliban sidearm. Like the M9 in multiplayer, it has an incorrect 12-round magazine capacity as the real one holds 17 bullets. Appears as the "Tariq", which is in reality, an Iraqi clone of the Beretta M1951.

Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The H&K MP7A1 is used by Delta Force members Deuce, Dusty, Panther and Vegas during the Wolfpack missions. It's fitted with an EOTech 552 holographic sight, 40-round magazine and suppressor during the level Running With Wolves..., and appears without suppressor in Friends from Afar.

Deuce's MP7A1 on the ground. The A1 version of the MP7 is anachronistic, as it was not introduced until 2003, and the game takes place in 2002. The older MP7 was only available at that time.
MULTIPLAYER:
The MP7A1 is an unlockable weapon for Spec Ops troopers regardless of their faction. Seen with the stock extended and foregrip down, but oddly uses the pistol sights when no optic is attached. Its attachments are an EOTech or ACOG regardless of the player's faction. Available to those who have pre-ordered the game.

FN P90TR
The P90TR (Triple Rail) appears only in the multiplayer part of the game, available as another alternate unlockable weapon to the Spec Ops class, regardless of faction. The P90TR is a devastating weapon with high cycling rate and magazine capacity. This weapon has no Veteran version. Referred to as "P90 PDW".

Assault Rifles & Battle Rifles
Colt M4A1 Carbine
M4A1 with RIS foregrip and M68 Aimpoint red dot scope - 5.56x45mm NATO
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The M4A1 Carbine is the main weapon for the Tier 1 Operators and the Army Rangers in the game. The weapons appear to be fitted with EOTech 552 holographic sights, AN/PEQ-2 laser designators, KAC QDSS-NT4 suppressors, RIS foregrips, and SureFire Universal WeaponLights. During the last two missions ACOGs are used instead of the holographic Sights. Appears as "M4" but fires in full-auto and semi-auto, like the M4A1. It is worth noting that when the player switches fire modes, the player character visibly switches the fire selector to the correct position.

MULTIPLAYER:
In multiplayer, the M4A1 is the standard weapon for the Coalition Special Ops class. It is fitted with a non-removable fore-grip. The carry handle can be changed to a holographic sight or ACOG. The "stock barrel" can be fitted with either a laser sight or sound suppressor. It can also fire open-tip ammunition, which have increased damage.
A screenshot from an early version of the game where the M4A1 appeared as "M4". The developers later realized that the M4 designation refers to a 3-round burst carbine, while the M4A1 is the fully automatic variant.

Mk. 18 Mod 0
The second of two M4 variants featured in single-player is the Mk. 18 Mod 0 carbine with RIS and foregrip. It is only seen used by Tier 1 Operators in the first level. Incorrectly appears as "M4 CQB-R" in the game. Rabbit uses an Aimpoint M2 with cantilever mount and killflash cover while the other members of AFO Neptune use EOTech 552s on their Mk. 18s.

Scoring headshots or achieving multi-kills increases the available time. The mesh seen through the sight is from the killflash.

And the other side of the rifle. As the text on the HUD shows, it is impossible to swap away the pistols in the game.
Colt M16A4
The M16A4 is the standard weapon for Coalition Riflemen in multiplayer. It is always fitted with an M203 grenade launcher and incorrectly fires in fully automatic mode only. The M16A4 in the time of the game (2002) is inaccurate, as the M16A4 entered service in 2004.

AKM and variants
The AKM appears both in single-player and multiplayer modes, and is incorrectly called "AK-47" in both. The slant muzzle brakes are removed and they lack the strengthening ribs on the receiver cover.
AKM with slant muzzle brake - 7.62x39mm
East German MPi-KMS-72 with sling and side-folding stock - 7.62x39mm
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The AKMs in single player can be composed of parts from other AKs used by former Eastern Bloc countries, including East Germany. The handguard, stock, and even the magazine's material can vary from weapon to weapon. Strangely, the selector does not work for these rifles.
In Rabbit's hands is an AK with a green synthetic hand-guard and East German-style side-folding stock. On the ground is a fixed stock AK with the AMD-63's foregrip.

MULTIPLAYER:
In multiplayer the AKM is the standard weapon of the Taliban Riflemen. It is always fitted with a GP-25 grenade launcher. Can be customized with a red dot sight, combat scope, open-tip ammunition, suppressor and laser sight.

AKMSU
The AKMSU appears in the single-player campaign where it is erroneously called the "AKS-74U". Along with the various AKMs, this is the only weapon to lack a functional selector switch.

AKS-74U
The AKS-74U with the the foregrip of a PA md. 86 is the standard weapon for the Taliban Special Ops class. Can be modified with Kobra red dot sight, suppressor, combat scope, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator (which is zip-tied to the front handguard) and open-tip ammunition.

FN F2000 Tactical
The F2000 Tactical is an alternate unlockable weapon for the Rifleman class. Can be modified with a holographic sight (regardless of faction), ACOG, suppressor, and open-tip ammo. It is always equipped with an FN GL-1 grenade launcher, which comes with three 40mm grenades.

Heckler & Koch G3A3
H&K G3A3 - 7.62x51mm NATO
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The Heckler & Koch G3A3 can be seen in hands of Taliban and Chechen fighters in the single player campaign. Since Afghanistan shares a huge territorial borderline with Pakistan, it makes perfect sense some Pakistani Army G3's to have fallen to Taliban hands. It appears with an incorrect 30+1 capacity, despite it being modeled with a 20-round magazine. An actual 30-round box mag for G3-type rifles (yes, these exist) is noticeably longer than the standard capacity 20-rounders.
A discarded G3A3 on the ground. Interestingly, the receiver markings say "HK 91", which is the semi-automatic version of the G3. On the other side it says "Kal. .308", a marking usually used on civilian models imported to America. These facts imply that this version was modeled off a civilian G3.

MULTIPLAYER:
The G3A3 is an unlockable weapon in multiplayer for the Sniper class. It is unlocked at Level 9. Can be modified with a holographic sight, sniper scope, suppressor or open-tip ammunition. In MP, the capacity is correctly 20 rounds, but the rifle fires only in semi-automatic mode.

Reloading animation of the G3A3 rifle. The missing magazine release paddle can be seen on the image. Technically, that would make the rifle a HK91A2, however those were not available with S-E-F trigger groups. It is certain that a HK91A2 was used for modeling, as the receiver marking says "HK 91", as on the single-player G3A3. It is safe to say that this rifle is a borderline hybrid. Finally, but not lastly, the selector is set to safe.
A rare sight in the multiplayer part of Medal of Honor: a bolt handle is being pulled by the operator. This is the only weapon where a round is chambered after a (actually
every) reload.
World-model of the G3A3, with magazine release paddle just to confuse things even more. Usually in video games, the first-person model of a gun has the higher details, but not in MoH's MP.
Mk. 14 Mod 0 Enhanced Battle Rifle
The Mk. 14 Mod 0 EBR fitted with ACOG is used by Rabbit of AFO Neptune in the game. Capable of semi-auto and full-auto fire modes, with full auto being extremely effective in certain points. Holds 20+1 rounds, and incorrectly appears as "M14 EBR" in the game.

FN M249E3 SAW
The FN M249E3 SAW appears in single-player and multiplayer game modes and is fitted with the heat-shield of an Mk 46 Mod 0 in both.
M249 SAW Paratrooper - this one features components of the Product Improvement Package (PIP), including the new telescoping stock, heat shield, and RIS handguard, and is also fitted with an ACOG scope and a 100-round woodland camo cloth ammo bag - 5.56x45mm
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The FN M249E3 SAW is used during the level Belly of the Beast by Specialist Dante Adams. In single-player, it is always used with a 200-round box magazine. Note that it is seen with an EOTech holographic sight in trailers and promotional screenshots, but appears in the game with the M145 MG optic.
FN M249E3 as seen in the first gameplay trailer. Note the magazine well visible beneath the ammo belt for feeding from M16-type box magazines, a key difference distinguishing it from the similar Mark 46.

MULTIPLAYER:
In MP it has 100-round capacity and appears simply as "M249". It is the alternate unlockable weapon for the Coalition Rifleman class, and later for the OpFor. Can be fitted with a holographic sight, ACOG, open-tip ammo, or a custom muzzle brake.

RPK
The RPK is an alternate unlockable machine gun for Taliban riflemen, but this weapon is only acquired through digital pre-orders of the PC version. Holds 100 rounds, but is modeled with a 75-round drum mag. This weapon's second version is called "RPK (C)" (C for Custom) instead of "Veteran".

U.S. Ordnance M60E4 (MK43 Mod 1)
M60E4 MK43 Mod 1 with picatinny rails, RIS foregrip, and ammo belt - 7.62x51mm
SINGLE-PLAYER:
The M60E4 MK43 Mod 1 is the weapon of choice for Tier One Operator Voodoo. In Compromised, he dislocates his shoulder after a fall, and trades the M60E4 for Rabbit's M4A1 to continue fighting. That is the only time that the M60E4 is usable in the single-player campaign.

Sniper Rifles
All sniper rifles in the multiplayer portion come equipped with that faction's reflex optic by default, with mild zoom combat sights and hi-power scopes available as class-specific unlocks.
M21 Sniper Weapon System
The M21 SWS is the standard weapon for Coalition Snipers. The modeled 20-round magazine is restricted to 10 rounds to balance it out with the NDM-86.

Remington M24A3 Sniper Weapon System
The Remington M24A3 SWS is available as an unlockable bolt-action sniper rifle for Coalition snipers. It can be modified with a High-Power Scope, Rangefinder, or open-tip ammunition. The in-game version is the A3 variant, noted by the 5-round detachable box magazine and the shape of the stock.

Barrett M107
The Barrett M107 is used by Deuce in both Wolfpack missions. The Barrett is fitted with an AN/PAS-13B Weapon Thermal Sight instead of a regular scope. The M107 has unlimited ammunition, but must be reloaded after every 10 shots. Although the rifle's designation is never mentioned or shown, at one point the "Eliminate Enemies with M82" objective appears, incorrectly identifying the weapon.

Knight's Armament Company SR-25 Enhanced Match Rifle
The KAC SR-25 Enhanced Match Rifle erroneously appears as "M110" in the game. Both are anachronistic because the game takes place in 2002, while the M110 SASS was produced from 2008 onward and the SR-25 EMR even later. The SR-25 with tan paint scheme is used by both Dusty and Deuce in both Wolfpack missions.

Shotguns
Remington 870
The Remington 870 appears in two different forms in the game.
SINGLE-PLAYER:
Remington 870 New Police tactical Model with Magpul CTR telescoping stock - 12 gauge
The 870 featured in the Single-player portion is a customized MCS variant with a shorter barrel and shorter 5-round magazine tube (giving it 5+1 capacity), as well as an EOTech sight, a railed foregrp with rail covers and a breech-guard, and a Crane M4-type stock. Rabbit seems to be adept at using this to the point he can cycle through the ammo at a decent speed despite the weapon being pump-action. When reloading from empty, Rabbit will keep the action open, feed the first round through the chamber, close the action and then feed the remaining rounds through the loading gate.

MULTIPLAYER:
The Multiplayer portion of the game features a full-size 870 variant, with a conventional shotgun stock, a shell holder on the left side and an 8-round capacity. Also available are various optics, and slug ammunition. Unlike its Battlefield: Bad Company counterpart (MP component of Medal of Honor 2010 uses the same engine as said series), the 870 now feature usable iron-sights/optics, as well as a faster pump animation when firing (your character keeps the weapon level when operating the action, rather than letting the weapon recoil back and slowing things down).

Tula Arms TOZ-194
The TOZ-194 is an alternate unlockable weapon for the Taliban Special Ops class. Like the 870MCS, and unlike its Bad Company counterpart, the TOZ-194 now features usable iron-sights/optics, as well as a faster pump animation when firing (your character keeps the weapon level when operating the action, rather than letting the weapon recoil back and slowing things down).

Benelli M1 Super 90
A Benelli M1 Super 90 with a pistol grip stock and top rail is available only in the single-player. When reloading from empty, Adams will load the first shell directly into the chamber and then release the bolt handle. The remaining rounds are then quickly loaded via the loading port. Holds 6+1 shells, the capacity indicates it is using 3" Magnum rounds, normal 2 3/4" shells would give it a 7+1 capacity. Appears as "M1014", the Military designation for the Benelli M4. Interestingly, the same gaffe occurs in Battlefield 4.

Launchers
M136 AT4
The M136 AT4 is the default special weapon for the Coalition Special Ops class. Like in most video games, it is shown reloadable. Obviously, the reloading is done completely off-screen, possibly because the developers couldn't find any good video where this single-shot missile launcher is being reloaded.

Cobray CM203
The CM203, distinguishable by its squared off trigger guard and M16-style safety (both visible in the following screen capture), is mounted on Dante Adams' M4A1 in during final level of the SP campaign. Can also be seen on M4A1s in the hands of NPC Rangers at the start of both Belly of the Beast and the final SP level. The game incorrectly refers to it as "M203".
