Wolfenstein: The Old Blood (2015)

Wolfenstein: The Old Blood is a is a first-person shooter developed by Machine Games and Bethesda Software, released in 2015 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC. It is a prequel to 2014's Wolfenstein: The New Order, and is set directly before the events of that game.

The following weapons appear in the video game Wolfenstein: The Old Blood:

Hand Guns

Luger P08

The Luger P08 returns from The New Order under the same name "Handgun 1946" and is the standard sidearm of the Nazi regime. It is primarily seen being wielded by enemy officers. It retains the ability to be dual-wielded and suppressed. If the player finds all gold bars from each level, they unlock Goldene Pistol. When enabled, the standard pistol becomes golden.

Rifles

StG-44

The main assault rifle used by both BJ and the Nazis is the "Assault Rifle 46T", which is similar in appearance to the real steel StG-44. It maintains many similarities from The New Order's Assault Rifle 1946, differing only by having a burst firing mode instead of a semi-automatic mode. As in The New Order, it also features a folding grip underneath the barrel, which only enemy soldiers will unfold (apparently to give it a profile more similar to the distinct one of the MP40). Upon being dropped it folds back in.

Bombenschuss

The Bombenschuss is an entirely new rifle in the series. It has the overall appearance of a heavily modified Karabiner 98k with some features of an FG 42, such as the side loading magazine containing five rounds. In addition it comes with a side folding scope so that either the scope or iron sights can be used for combat.

...and with the scope in place. As seen the scope is held in place on the right of the receiver until the lever behind the magazine release is operated and it swings into place.

Here we see the bolt being worked to extract a spent round from the rifle.

Shotguns

Double Barrel Shotgun/Sawed-off Shotgun

The Double Barrel Shotgun returns from The New Order, and sees much more use, especially in the crypt. The full-length model is usable in the prologue, and much later on in Wulfburg BJ saws down the barrels of a second shotgun in a shed before dealing with the shamblers, which is a faint reference to the Evil Dead series. (He doesn't say "Groovy" this time though.)

BJ reloads the shotgun with new shells. The shotgun uses yellow shells which are more common in the crypt, but are not shared by the Schockhammer.

Schockhammer

The Shockhammer appears as a semi-automatic shotgun and is most likely the precursor to the automatic shotgun seen in Wolfenstein: The New Order. It is the main weapon for heavy troopers, though Nazis would not use combat shotguns in real life. Interestingly, the Shockhammer does not use the same shells that are used by the double-barreled/sawed-off Shotgun, hinting at different gauges or possibly an entirely different round (the ammo is even called 'slugs'). Shells are stored in a 10-round detachable drum magazine which can be upgraded to hold 16. The Shockhammer can also be dual-wielded, however this greatly increases the reloading time.

Heavy Weapons

Heavy Machine Gun (MG46)

Returning from Wolfenstein: The New Order, the MG46 combines elements from both the MG42, and the GE M134 Minigun. It feeds from a 250-round drum magazine, and has a rotating four-barrel system with a very high rate of fire. It appears to be the main weapon of choice for the super soldiers, and can be obtained right away after the prologue chapter. The MG46 is also mounted on boats and turrets in later levels; the boss fight with Rudi Jager has him don a power suit fitted with 2 MG46's.

Here we can see the main features of the weapon. Note "MG46" printed on the left hand side of the receiver underneath the hand grip.

Kampfpistole

The Kampfpistole Z pistol appears in-game with some modifications as simply the Kampfpistole. While it it does tremendous damage, it is only single shot, slow to reload, and has a limited ammo supply.

Leuchtpistole - 26.65mm

The Kampfpistole uses a simple iron sight for aiming.

Shown here is the weapon being reloaded. The breech is opened, the empty shell auto ejects and a new round is inserted.
