The following weapons appear in the video game Sniper Elite:

Handguns

Walther P38

The Walther P38 appears only fitted with a suppressor, used for stealth kills at close range, it is only available in Single Player, where Karl always has it as his sidearm, it sometimes appears used by NPCs rarely.

Karl points the Walther at Dr. Lormann.

Submachine Guns

MP40

The MP40 can be picked up from Germans and used. Most efficient SMG. Notably Sniper Elite 1 seems to try to represent the "chaos" of the final days of Berlin as while the German/Soviet factions mainly stick to their designated weapons, you will encounter occasionally German/Soviet troops that have resorted to using enemy weaponry. (Such as occasionally Soviet Troops with the MP40.)

PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 is the standard Russian SMG. You are usually issued one at the start of each mission.

Sniper Rifles

Gewehr 43

The Gewehr 43 is the first sniper rifle you are issued in the game. The rifle is modeled with a Karabiner 98k bolt and stock and the magazine incorrectly holds 5 rounds. It's scope textures are listed as "spring" meaning it was possibly originally intended for a Springfield to be the player's starting rifle like with Sniper Elite V2

Mosin-Nagant M/39

The M39 Finnish Mosin-Nagant Rifle, which is an odd choice for Russian soldiers, appears as the "M91". The final sniper rifle issued, inaccurately fires semi-auto so it won't be inferior to the other rifles.

Mosin-Nagant M/39 "Ukko-Pekka" - 7.62x54mmR

The "M91" in-game. Note the pistol grip.

Tokarev SVT-40

The Tokarev SVT-40 is the second rifle you are issued in the game and fitted with experimental optics from Zeiss. Like the G43, the magazine contains only 5 rounds. Oddly it's scope texture is named "Mauser" indicating it was originally intended for a Mauser rifle.

MG42

The MG42 can be picked up from German soldiers and carried like the other weapons unlike future games, using 50 bullet belts. Notably the Soviets use the MG42 far more than the DP-27 unlike most weapons.

Launchers

RPzB 54 Panzerschreck

The RPzB 54 Panzerschreck. Effective at destroying tanks, somehow Karl can carry it alongside his Sniper Rifle and Submachine/Machine gun on his back, it is pretty rare to find.

RPzB 54 Panzerschreck - 88mm rocket launcher

The Panzerschreck in-game.

German resistance fighters with Panzerschrecks.

Grenades & Explosives

Mk 2 hand grenade

American Mk 2 hand grenades are used by some Soviet soldiers. It could stand for the F-1 hand grenade.

Interestingly, the explosive radius of grenades is actually dependent on difficulty, lower difficulties (and an option in custom difficulties) is "Hollywood" grenade range of 8m while higher difficulties (or again, a setting for custom) use "Realistic" grenade range with grenades having a range of 20m, an enemy (or an unlucky player) near the edge of this 20m radius will still often survive but sustain serious injuries from a blast.

Mark V Tank

Around the Reichstag building, there are several British Mark V Tanks. This seems strange, but it's almost historically correct. During the Battle of Berlin, two Mark Vs were stationed in front of the Berlin Cathedral. These tanks were war trophies taken by the Germans in 1941 from Smolensk, which were used in the Russian Civil War from 1917 to 1922. However, whether they were used actively or only as pillboxes is unclear.
