Hearts of Iron IV is a Real-Time grand strategy game by Paradox Interactive where the player can take control of many major and minor powers during the leadup and during world war two, either taking their faction down a historically accurate path or going completely off the rails such as a Nazi America or a peaceful Germany with the AI (unless changed via a pre-game option) mostly staying to a historically accurate version of their country.
Weapons in Hearts of Iron IV are either representing by menu artwork or 3D models carried by soldiers on the zoomed in map screen.
Infantry weapon research is the same across all countries, all countries start with "Basic Equipment" (WW1-era weaponry that is outdated even by the start of the game standards but can be produced quicker if the player has a shortage of weapons) and the vast majority also start with the first tier of researched weaponry and and can research two additional tiers of more advanced weaponry represented by icons of more advanced weapons.
The following weapons appear in the video game Hearts of Iron IV:
Submachine Guns
Beretta Model 38A
The Italian Beretta Model 38A submachine gun appears as the second upgraded tier of weaponry for Italian infantry as the "MAB-38".
FNA-B 43
The FNA-B 43 submachine gun appears as the final tier of Italian infantry weapon and is misnamed as the "FNAB-43".
M1A1 Thompson
The M1A1 Thompson appears as the second unlocked tier of Infantry weaponry for America.
M3A1 "Grease Gun"
The M3A1 "Grease Gun" appears as the second unlocked weapons tier for minor factions.
MP38
