Terminator 3: War of the Machines is a 2003 PC FPS developed by Clever's Games, set nearly entirely in the future war, the game is a Battlefield-like game with the player playing as either Tech-Com or Skynet.

The game was negatively received for lack of content, simplistic AI that is incapable of using the game's vehicles and server issues.

Handgun

Desert Eagle

Unnamed in-game or the manual, a Desert Eagle handgun appears as the game's singular backup weapon, being carried by all Tech-Com troops and the T-850 who is available for the Tech-Com player with the highest amount of frags. (Oddly the Skynet Infiltrator who uses Tech-Com weaponry is not given a Desert Eagle or equivalent sidearm.)

Reloading the Desert Eagle, the game doesn't distinct empty from non-empty reloads so the slide always locks back.

After changing the magazine, the T-850 uses his thumb to hit the slide release.

Rifles

Colt Model 727

The Colt Model 727 appears as the "Assault Rifle" and holds 60 bullets in a magazine instead of 30.

A Tech-Com soldier (Standing in for the CRS Military Personnel on the present day maps) fires his Colt Assault Rifle at T-1 robots.

Reloading the Assault Rifle, it is not chambered afterwards and the grenade launcher is never reloaded.

Heckler & Koch XM29 OICW

The XM29 Objective Individual Combat Weapon appears as the "ACW" and holds 36 bullets in the magazine. It oddly is counted as a "Future" weapon so it's not available in the present day maps.

Heckler & Koch G3SG/1

The Heckler & Koch G3SG/1 appears as the "Scoped Rifle", it used by Resistance Snipers in full-auto and replaces the OICW for basic "Hunter" infantry in the present day maps.

Machine Guns

FN M249 Paratrooper

The M249 Paratrooper appears as the "LSA Machine Gun", it is oddly counted as a "Future" weapon as it is only available to the T-850 on present day maps.

M249 Paratrooper with Picatinny rail - 5.56x45mm. This is a real blank adapted movie gun.

The T-850 fires the M249 on the present day map "Graveyard".

Reloading the M249, the box is removed and replaced as if it's a magazine without chambering the weapon.

Browning M2

The Browning M2 appears as a stationary turret and mounted on vehicles and is called the "SW2". It also appears as the "ASB-80 Plasma" which is a man-portable version that fires plasma which is available for both teams. (Except in present day maps, where only the T-850 specifically can use it.) Like with Human vehicles, only the "Infiltrator" Skynet unit can use them aside from Tech-Com.

M134 Minigun

A handheld M134 Minigun appears as the "FLK Cannon" and is used by both Skynet, Tech-Com Heavy Hunters (who being human, notably have a much slower movement speed) and the T-850. Oddly for a video game, it does not require being spun-up before firing.

Airsoft handheld M134 Minigun with 'Chainsaw grip' to handle the recoil force. This variant was seen in Terminator 2: Judgment Day. This is an airsoft version which retains the half-circle attachment point for the M60 foregrip from Predator; the real T2 minigun did not have this - (fake) 7.62x51mm NATO

M60D

The M60D can be found as a stationary turret or mounted on Tech-Com vehicles and is called the "SW60".
