Military Conflict: Vietnam is a Vietnam War-oriented, fast-paced action video game.
The following weapons appear in the video game Military Conflict: Vietnam:
Sidearms
Pistols
With the exception of pistols for snipers (which are integrally suppressed), all pistols are ideal for close quarters or as a last resort.
Colt M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 is available to all American classes except the sniper.
FN Baby Browning
The diminutive FN Baby Browning (originally exclusive to gun game mode) is available to American assault, gunner, engineer, and radioman classes. Its usage in-game stems from MACV-SOG teams being issued with pistols as a last resort gun.
High Standard HDM
The High Standard HDM is available to the American sniper. While having two additional rounds, its stopping power is slightly limited due to a smaller cartridge.
Makarov PB
The Makarov PB is available to the Vietcong marksman. Though accurate for the time period, the PB did not see use in Vietnam, though it didn't stop the Soviet Union from sending pistols as aid (and a counterpart to the American Hush Puppy).
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM is available to all Vietcong classes.
MAS M1935S
The MAS M1935S is available to all Vietcong classes. Left over from the French occupation of Indochina, quantities would enter Vietcong usage.
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96 is available to all Vietcong classes except the marksman. A veteran of two world wars, its appearance can be justified by Soviet aid lent to the North.
Mk 22 Mod 0
The Mk 22 Mod 0 is available to the American sniper. While issued to Navy units (such as the Naval Special Warfare Unit and SEAL teams), it wouldn't prevent regular soldiers from obtaining Hush Puppies. Other than being fitted with a sound suppressor and high-profile iron sights, the differences (including the magazine capacity) remain unchanged, its incorrectly shown a semi-auto rather than requiring the slide to be pulled back after each shot.
Nambu Type 14
The Nambu Type 14 is available to all Vietcong classes. The presence of the Nambu in-game is accurate; pistols left over from the departing Japanese two decades prior were put to use with the Vietcong.
Shanxi Type 17
A relic of the Warlord era, the Shansi Type 17 is available to the Vietcong Medic class, distinguished from its German counterpart by its detachable stock, higher damage, and less mobility. Those weapons were sent by China as aid to North Vietnam.
Smith & Wesson 39-2
The Smith & Wesson 39-2 is available to all American classes except the sniper.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is available to all Vietcong classes. Details on the slide denotes a pre-1947 variant, indicating that this specimen was used in World War II.
Type 67 silenced pistol
The Type 67 silenced pistol is available to the Vietcong sniper. Like with the PB, it is unknown whether it was used in the Vietnam War, but the earlier type 64 was allegedly said to be taken by Mitchell Werbell III (the creator of the MAC-10's two stage suppressor) from the Vietcong.
Walther P38
The Walther P38 is available to all Vietcong classes. Ex-Nazi production P38s (not to be confused with West German P1s) were sent to Vietnam as military aid by the Warsaw Pact countries (in particular the Soviet Union, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia). Alternately, they could be pistols left over from the French. A small inaccuracy is that empty shells eject from the right versus the left as in reality.
Revolvers
Revolvers in-game have three "selector" modes that affect the gun's performance: double-action' (the player has to hold down the mouse button to fire but can be manually canceled), single-action (the player can fire after cocking the hammer), and fan-firing (the player cannot aim but the revolver can fire faster).
Nagant M1895
The Nagant M1895 is available to the Vietcong support class and radioman.
Smith & Wesson Model 10-7
The Smith & Wesson Model 10-7 is available to the American support class and radioman.
Smith & Wesson Model 12
The Smith & Wesson Model 12 is available to the American support class and radioman. In reality, it was only issued to the US Air Force.
Flare Guns
M8 flare pistol
The M8 flare pistol is available to the American sniper class.
Type 97 flare pistol
The Japanese Type 97 flare pistol is available to the Vietcong sniper class. Although it's possible some were left over from the Japanese occupation in WW2; North Vietnam mainly used Chinese copies of the SPSh Flare Pistol.
Shotguns
Shotguns are available to the engineeer and radioman classes.
Ithaca 37 "Trench Gun"
The Ithaca 37 "Trench Gun" is available to the US enginer and radioman classes.
Manufrance Fusil Robust
The Manufrance Fusil Robust is available to the Vietcong enginer and radioman classes.
Remington Model 870
A Remington Model 870 is available to the US enginer and radioman classes.
Winchester Model 1897 "Trench gun"
The Winchester Model 1897 "Trench gun" is available to the US enginer and radioman classes.
Submachine Guns / Machine Pistols
Available primarily to support classes (as well as the assault class which uses drum-fed variants), submachine guns are ideal for use in close quarters. With a fast fire rate but also poor accuracy, Submachine Guns are most effective in close quarters.
Beretta M12
The Beretta M12 is available to American medics, engineers, and radiomen. Albeit available in limited numbers, U.S marines guarding the American Embassy in Saigon would repeal a Vietcong attack on the Embassy using the M12 during the Tet Offensive in 1968.
Carl Gustaf m/45B
The Carl Gustaf m/45B is available to American medics, engineers, and radiomen, with a SOG variant featuring a sound suppressor. Issued primarily to Navy SEALs in the conflict as well as the CIA, the Swedish-K's performance impressed their buyers to the point where Sweden issued an embargo for its use in 1966; the U.S as a result would turn to Smith & Wesson to procure a copy.
IMI Uzi
The IMI Uzi is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes, with a suppressed SOG variant featuring reduced mobility, damage, and range. The Uzi was issued to SOG sky diving teams due to its compact design.
IMI Uzi with Sionics suppressor
K-50M
The K-50M, a Vietnamese variant of the PPSh-41, is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Differences from the PPSh-41 includes a wire stock and a pistol grip as well as a shorter barrel and front sights modelled after that of the AK-47.
M3A1
The M3A1 Submachine Gun is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Like with the M1A1 Thompson, a SOG variant featuring a sound suppressor is available.
OSS M3A1
MAC-10
The MAC-10 is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Like with its Vietnamese counterpart, a silenced counterpart is available. It saw limited use in the last years of the conflict, being issued to special forces

Madsen M50
The Madsen M50 is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Visually similar to the Carl Gustav, differences include slightly increased stats. The Madsen was mainly used by South Vietnamese forces, but some were issused to Green Berrets in MIKE Force.
MAS-38
The MAS-38 is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes.
MAT-49
The MAT-49 is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. As it has 35 rounds in-game, it can be discerned as a Vietnamese conversion to 7.62mm Tokarev from the original 9mm Parabellum variant.
MAT-49 SMG with suppressor
MP 40
The MP 40 is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Captured from French forces (who themselves acquired them from the surrendering Germans), or gifts from the Soviet Union, North Vietnam would distribute submachine guns to the Vietcong through supply lines such as the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
PPSh-41
The PPSh-41 is available to all Vietcong classes with the exception of the sniper; while the assault class uses the 71-round drum variant, the rest uses the smaller 35-round box magazine.
PPSh-41 with drum magazine
PPS-43
The PPS-43 is available to the medic, engineer, and radioman classes as the Vietcong counterpart to the Grease Gun, though without a sound suppressor.
Sa vz.48B
The Czechoslovak-made Sa vz.48B is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. From its ammunition capacity in-game, it can be discerned as a 9mm Parabellum variant (which may be an oddity), but considering the vz.48B was declared obsolete in 1968, was exported to North Vietnam in some numbers.
Sa vz. 61 Škorpion
The Sa vz. 61 Škorpion is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. A variant with its stock extended and a suppressor is available, slightly reducing its damage, range, and mobility due to the suppressor's bulk.
Smith & Wesson Model 76
The Smith & Wesson Model 76 is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Differences from the original Carl Gustav m/45 includes a faster fire rate, lower range and damage.
Sten Mk II
The Sten Mk II is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes, with a suppressed variant available. While an oddity for use with American forces, special forces (in particularly Army Rangers) would use Stens in a capacity.
Sten Mk II(S)
The Sten Mk II(S).
Stechkin APS
The Stechkin APS outfitted with its wooden stock is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes.
Thompson M1A1
The lighter Thompson M1A1 is available to the American medic, engineer, and radioman classes. A SOG variant without its stock is available, increasing mobility but reducing accuracy. While rather obsolete, the M1A1 Thompson was used in small numbers by special forces and the US Navy.

Thompson M1928
The Thompson M1928 with its bulky 50-round drum magazine is available to the American assault class. The M1928 was retired from service after WWII, though it was supplied to South Vietnam.
Type 64
The Type 64 is available to the Vietcong medic, engineer, and radioman classes. Mechanically similar to the PPS-43, it would serve as its suppressed counterpart for the Grease Gun as the PPS-43 is known to not have a suppressed variant in reality.
Carbines (semi-auto)
Carbines are available to the assault class; and can be equipped with bayonets and rifle grenades. The category includes semiautomatic carbines.
M1 Carbine
The M1 Carbine is available to the US assault class.
SKS

Assault Rifles / Carbines (full-auto)
The cream and butter of soldiers and guerilla fighters alike, assault rifles are dominant in medium-range combat.

AKM
A direct upgrade over the AK-47 featuring a slanted compensator, a stamped receiver, and a improved gas tube, the AKM is available to the Vietcong assault class.
AMD-65
The AMD-65 is a Hungarian copy of the AKM with a side-folding wire stock. Labelled as a carbine in-game, it is available for the Vietcong assault and radioman classes with a higher fire rate and damage than the AKM, but lower accuracy.
Colt / ArmaLite Model 601
The immediate predecessor to the M16 series, the Colt Armalite Model 601 is available to the American assault class. Differences from the M16A1 includes the lack of a forward assist and a three-prong flash hider, but they are otherwise similar in in-game performance.
Colt Model 607

Colt Model 656

Harrington & Richardson T223
A license-produced, West German-made HK33. The Harrington & Richardson T223 is available to the American assault class. Issued primarily to Navy SEALs where it was popular, its non-standard magazine, cost, and bias against non-American designs prevented the T223 from seeing widespread use.
M2 Carbine
The M2 Carbine.
M16A1
The M16A1 with its 20-round magazine is available to the American assault class. A variant featuring the M203 grenade launcher is available with less mobility.

PM md. 63
A Romanian copy of the AKM, the PM md. 63 differs from it with only the distinctive handguard foregrip and the lack of a compensator. It is available for the Vietcong assault class.
Sa vz. 58 P
The visually similar but unrelated Sa vz. 58 P is available to the Vietcong assault class. While dealing lower damage than the rest of the Kalashnikov-pattern rifles in its class, its rate of fire is among the highest.
StG 44
One of the oldest assault rifles in the game, the StG 44 is available to the Vietcong assault and radioman classes, with the assault class having a extra variant with a ZF-4 telescopic sight but a reduced magazine capacity. STG 44s were sent to Vietnam as military aid by the Warsaw Pact countries; STGs were also captured from French forces during the First Indochina War.

Wz. 60 Karabinek-granatnik
The Polish-made Wz. 60 Karabinek-granatnik (a license-produced AK-47, specialized in firing rifle grenades) is available to the Vietcong assault class. Its damage compared to the AK-47 is slightly reduced, but it obtains the ability to launch rifle grenades with a set fuse time of 3 or 5 seconds.
XM177E1
The XM177E1 appears as the "XM177". It is available to the American assault and medic classes. A variant with a 4x scope is also available for the assault class.
Battle Rifles
Harder-hitting than assault rifles with a greater range, battle rifles suffer in close quarters in addition to a reduced magazine capacity.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is available to the American assault class. A vintage dating from World War II, the M1 Garand was primarily used by the Army of the Republic of Vietnam as its service rifle, though some specialized U.S military units would take M1 Garands in both as a battle and as a marksman rifle.
