Pistols
Colt M1911A1

Colt M16

M60
The M60 machine gun appears in game as the standard GP machine gun of the U.S. Army. It is fed by 100-round belts, but firing it too quickly can overheat it easily. An upgraded version called the "Death Machine" comes with a large back-mounted pack (that apparently grants the MG a 1,000-round capacity) with a feed chute attached to it and the gun. This variant is less prone to overheating.
M60D
The M60D machine gun appears on a Huey in archival footage explaining the history of the war.
Type 24
