M3 Grease Gun

The American M3 Grease Gun is available in the Patriot's DLC pack. Described as having a distinctive look and sound to it, the Grease Gun has a relatively low fire rate, but decent damage. The weapon is also anachronistic to the time period, as the Grease Gun never saw wide spread usage until 1944.

Sten Mk II

The British Sten Mk II is Karl's first submachine gun. It is modeled on the Canadian Mk II variant with a wire stock instead of the standard "T" type stock. The Sten is inferior to every automatic weapon in the game in every single way and should be exchanged as soon as possible. It is also worth noting that the Canadian version of the Sten MkII was not used in combat until August 1942 - two months before the events in the game.

Thompson M1A1

The American Thompson M1A1 is arguably the last submachine gun unlocked. It fires very powerful rounds and is fairly accurate in short bursts. Unlike in real life, the Thompson holds 32 rounds, instead of 30. Also the M1A1 did not begin production until October 1942 some months after the events in the game.

Shotguns

Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun"

The American Winchester Model 1897 "Trench Gun" is available in the Hunters DLC Pack and is the only shotgun in the game. While it delivers high damage, the weapon has a slow rate of fire, and the weapon becomes fairly inaccurate when firing in quick succession.

Hybrid M1914/17 Enfield rifle

The American M1917 Enfield is part of the Sniper rifle DLC pack. It's described in game for being known as the "American Enfield". The game, however, modeled the rifle with the lower receiver of the M1917, but with the scope mount and stock of the British P14. It should be noted that no sniper variants of the M1917 were used by American snipers, the majority being M1903A4 rifles. The P14 was known for having an telescopic scope attached, but fires the British .303 instead of the American .30-06.

M1914 Enfield with telescopic scope - .303 UK

M1D Garand

The American M1D Garand with M84 scope is Karl's preferred sniper rifle and is the first sniper given to the player. Described in game as having a high rate of fire, with relatively good power. It should be noted that even the M1C, an even earlier form of the M1D Garand sniper, saw limited action in World War II, it wasn't available during the North African campaign.

M1D Sniper Variant with M84 scope - .30-06. Note the different type of scope mount. The T-37 flash suppressor is an option on both models; an earlier conical flash hider also exists.
