Revision as of 02:27, 30 January 2015
The following weapons appear in the video game Project Reality: Falklands:
NOTE: For the original game, see Battlefield 2.
Pistols
Browning Hi-Power
The Browning Hi-Power is used by the British faction under the designation "L9A1" with synthetic grips. The Argentinian faction uses the Type 73 Hi-Power. It is used by the Officer, Pilot and Sniper classes only.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
The Heckler & Koch MP5A3 is used by the British faction Officer, Combat Medic and Vehicle Crewmen class. It is intended as a temporary filler for the more accurate Sterling SMG. It is the same model from the original Project Reality, including the navy trigger group.
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
The Argentinian faction uses the M3A1 "Grease Gun" under the local designation, "PAM1".
Rifles
FN FAL
The main service rifle of the Argentinians in-game is the FN FAL, under the designation FM FAL (FM being an abbreviation, "Fabricaciones Militares", the Argentinian plant that built the FN for the government).
L1A1
The main weapon of the British faction is the L1A1 Self Loading Rifle (commonly known as the SLR). The British Marksman class use an L1A1 fitted with an L2A2 SUIT 4x scope.
Sniper Rifles
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I(T)
The British Sniper class uses the Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I(T) with scope. Although out of service by the time of the Falklands War (1982), it is meant as a temporary fill-in until the development of the Enfield Enforcer/L42A1 sniper rifle.
M21 Sniper Rifle
The Argentinian Marksman class uses the M21 Sniper Rifle. It is fitted with a Leupold Mark 4 scope, which is anachronistic since that scope didn't enter production until the early 2000's.
Steyr SSG 69
The Steyr SSG 69 is used by the Argentinian Sniper class, fitted with a bipod. It is referred to in-game as the "SSG-P1".
Machine Guns
FN MAG 58
The FN MAG 58 is used by the Argentinian Automatic Rifleman class, and mounted inside houses for static defense. The mounted MAG 58 has flipped-up anti-aircraft sights for better accuracy. The MAG 58 is also incorrectly modeled with the carry handle of the British L7 mentioned below.
L7A2 GPMG
The British faction uses the L7A2 GPMG as a squad machine gun.
Mounted Weapons
ADEN Cannon
The ADEN Cannon is mounted on the Hawker Siddeley Harrier GR.3 and the Sea Harrier FRS1 used by the British faction.
Browning M2HB
The British and Argentinian factions can deploy machine gun nests with Browning M2HB heavy machine guns, mounted on the M3 tripod.
DEFA Cannon
The DEFA Cannon is fitted on the Argentinian Dassault Mirage IIIEA fighter jet.
Colt Mk 12 Cannon
The Colt Mk 12 cannon appears in the game as the secondary armament on Argentinian A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft.
Hispano.Suiza HS.404
The Hispano.Suiza HS.404 is mounted on the Douglas A-1H Skyraider used by the Argentinians, despite that country never operating it in real-life.
KPV Heavy Machine Gun
The KPV Heavy Machine Gun is used as a mounted Anti-Air weapon by the Argentinian faction, as part of a ZPU-4 quad mount. This is somewhat odd, as the Argentine forces typically used large single or double-barrel AA guns.
L37A1 Machine Gun
The L37A1 Machine Gun, the British version of the M240C, is mounted on the FV101 Scorpion and FV107 Scimitar Armored Reconnaissance Vehicles.
M61 Vulcan
The M61 Vulcan is mounted on the M167 VADS (Vulcan Air Defence System) Anti-Air platform incorrectly used by the British faction; the British never adopted VADS.
Phalanx CIWS
The Phalanx CIWS (Close-In Weapons System), fitted with the M61 Vulcan, is mounted on the HMS Invincible. This appearance is anachronistic however, as firstly the Phalanx CIWS was not fitted to HMS Invincible until after the Falklands, and secondly the variant featured in game is the Block 1B model which was not introduced until 1999.
MILAN
The MILAN is used as a stationary anti-tank mount by the British faction.
SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle
The SPG-9 Recoilless Rifle is used by the Argentinians as a stationary anti-tank mount, firing both HEAT and HE-Frag rounds.
SA-18 Grouse
The SA-18 Grouse is mounted on a twin turret for use by the Argentinian faction. The launcher is taken directly from previous games and should not really be shown used by Argentine forces.
L16 Mortar
Both the British and Argentinian factions use the L16 Mortar, mounted in foxholes for fire support. The weapon uses the same model as the later US-made M252 variant. These mortars fire high-explosive and smoke rounds. The high-explosive rounds can be configured for either ground-detonation or airburst, the latter spreading shrapnel over a wider distance.
Launchers
M79 Grenade Launcher
Both the British and Argentinian Grenadier class uses the M79 Grenade Launcher, firing both high-explosive and smoke rounds.
M72A2 LAW
The M72A2 LAW is used by the British Light-Antitank Class.
M20 "Super Bazooka"
Both the British and Argentinian Antitank Classes use the M20 "Super Bazooka".
FIM-92A Stinger
The FIM-92A Stinger is used by the British Anti-Air class, both man-portable and mounted in a twin turret. While the SAS had access to Stingers, only six were used during the conflict, and just one of these with any result; a more correct (though equally ineffective) weapon for the British forces would be the Blowpipe SAM.
SA-7 Grail
The Argentinian Anti-Air class uses the SA-7 Grail. Argentine forces had access to SA-7s during the conflict, having purchased them from Libya, but there is no record of them being used during the Falklands war. Like the British, the Argentine forces used the Blowpipe SAM, with similarly little effect.
Mines
M15 Anti-Tank Mine
The British Combat Engineer faction uses the M15 Anti-Tank Mine.
M18A1 Claymore
The M18A1 Claymore is used by the British Antipersonnel class.
MON-50 Anti-Personnel Mine
The MON-50 Anti-Personnel Mine is used by the Argentinians.
TM-62 Anti-Tank Mine
The Argentinian faction Combat Engineer is equipped with a TM-62 Anti-Tank Mine.
Grenades
L2A2 Hand Grenade
The L2A2 Hand Grenade is used by the British faction.
M67 Hand Grenade
The Argentinian faction uses the M67 Hand Grenade.
M18 Smoke Grenade
Both factions use the M18 Smoke Grenade.
M83 Smoke Grenade
Both the British and Argentinian faction uses the M83 Smoke Grenade.
AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade
The AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade is used by the British and Argentinian factions. Although mostly used as an anti-material grenade, it can be used against infantry.
