The following weapons appear in the video game Heroes & Generals:
Handguns
Colt M1903 Hammerless
The Colt M1903 Hammerless is the US pocket pistol. It is similar to the pocket pistols of the other nations and also fires a rather small round being .32 ACP. Despite this, it can still be very deadly when performing headshots.
Colt M1911A1
The famous Colt M1911A1 is the second available handgun for the US Forces.
Colt M1917
Players can unlock the Colt M1917. It reloads with a speedloader.
Mauser 1934 Taschenpistole
The Germans can get a Mauser 1934 Taschenpistole as an early unlock. In real life this was the standard sidearm of the German Kriegsmarine but as it was a very common pistol at the time, German high ranking officers and even lower ranks got this pistol as their sidearm. As it fires the rather small 7.65x17mmSR/.32 ACP it has a rather low recoil thus follow up shots can be fired very fast. This is also reflected ingame. The developers even got the reload procedure right, this is very impressive as the actual reloading sequence of this weapon is somewhat special. The pistol locks the slide back when the last round has been fired, you pull the old magazine out, insert a new one and at that time the pistol automatically unlocks the slide chambering a new round.
Mauser C96
The Mauser C96, which carries the nickname "Broomhandle", is the second pistol unlock for the German Armed Forces.
Luger P08
The Luger P08 is the third pistol which can be unlocked by the German players.
Walther P38
The famous Walther P38 is the fourth pistol for German players. It has a similar behavior as the Luger P08 ingame, so it is more a matter of personal preference which one you choose.
Korovin TK
The Soviet Korovin TK is one of the smallest guns ingame. It fires the 6.35x16SR Browning / .25ACP which allows fast follow up shots due to the low muzzle climb. Although this weapon was never officially adopted into Red Army use, lots of them were issued anyway to any person who didn't really need a weapon but wanted to carry one for self defence like high ranking officers, medics etc. It is a very special weapon in the game as it has been rarely seen in media so far.
Tokarev TT-33
The Tokarev TT-33 is the second Soviet pistol which you can unlock.
Nagant M1895
The Soviet Nagant M1895 is a very powerful revolver ingame. It has a very interesting reloading animation, which correctly shows how each bullet is inserted into the cylinder one by one.
Submachine Guns
M3 "Grease Gun"
The first submachine gun for the US is the M3 "Grease Gun". It has a rather low rate of fire but due to the .45 ACP round it packs quite a punch.
Thompson M1A1
The Thompson M1A1 is the second unlockable submachine gun for the United States. It is a very powerful weapon ingame with a rather high rate of fire while still being controllable.
MP34
The German Forces can first unlock the MP34. Ingame it uses the smaller 20 round magazine but it is still quite effective. This weapon is rarely seen in video games, this fact makes this weapon very interesting and unique.
MP40
The well known MP40 can be unlocked by the German Forces. It features a 32 round magazine and has a pretty controllable recoil. It is a great all around weapon ingame.
PPD-40
A rarely seen weapon in video games is the PPD-40. It is the first available submachine gun for the Soviet Faction, has a large drum magazine and is nice to clear out buildings.
PPSh-41
The second unlockable SMG for the Soviet Union is the very famous PPSh-41. It has a large 71 round drum mag and a high rate of fire. In close quarters combat this weapon is an absolute beast.
PPS-43
The PPS-43 is the third unlockable SMG for the Soviet Union. It uses normal 35-round magazines but other than that it feels similar to the German MP40 ingame.
Rifles
Springfield M1903A1
The standard US bolt action rifle is the Springfield M1903A1. It is reloaded with a 5 round stripper clip.
Springfield M1903A1 with M84
US Snipers can first unlock the Springfield M1903A1 with M84. Although technically not impossible, this combination is rather uncommon. A more historical combination would be the M1903A4 with M84 scope as shown in the photo below but as changing the model from an 1903A1 to A4 would create more work for the game developers, I guess this was avoided. The scope has a powerful 2.2x magnification. When attaching the scope, the rifle can only be reloaded round by round, no stripper clips.
Springfield M1903A1 with Unertl 8X
US Snipers can unlock the Springfield M1903A1 with Unertl 8X. The scope has a powerful 8.0x magnification. When attaching the scope, the rifle can only be reloaded round by round, no stripper clips.
M1 Garand
The M1 Garand is the US semi automatic rifle. It works very well in most situations, makes the usual "PING" sound when it is empty and is loaded with an 8 round en-bloc clip.
M1D Garand with M84
US Infantry, Recon and Paratrooper classes can unlock the M1D Garand with M84. The scope has a magnification of 2.2x. You can still reload the rifle with the usual 8 round en-bloc clip as the sight is offset to the left to allow this.
M1 Carbine
One of the most produced rifles of WW2 being the M1 Carbine can be acquired by the US paratrooper. It is a fast firing semi-automatic weapon with a rather weak ammo which means that it looses power over distance rather fast.
M1A1 Carbine
The player can unlock the M1A1 Carbine for the US paratrooper class and tanker. The M1A1 is the folding stock version of the standard M1 thus making it a ligher version. This is also reflected in the game as the M1A1 takes fewer equipment points.
M1/M2 Carbine
A late war version called the M1/M2 Carbine is featured in the game. It is a select fire version which can switch between semi and full automatic fire. In the closing months of WW2 in Europe US Ordnance issued conversion part-kits to the US Forces fighting in Europe to counter the widespread use of German assault rifles. Those converted M1 Carbines were called M1/M2 Carbines.
Karabiner 98 Kurz
German soldiers can grab the powerful Karabiner 98k. The model ingame is a later version as it features the front sight hood. Reloaded with 5 round stripper clips.
Karabiner 98 Kurz with ZF39
German infantry and sniper classes can get the Karabiner 98 Kurz with ZF39. The scope has a 4.2x magnification. When attaching the scope, the rifle can only be reloaded round by round, no stripper clips.
Gewehr 43
The Gewehr 43 is the semi automatic rifle for the German faction ingame. As the Tokarev SVT-40 for the Soviet Union, this rifle also reloads from a 10 round box magazine.
Sturmgewehr 44
The first ever mass-produced assault rifle, the famous Sturmgewehr 44 can be unlocked for German solders.
Sturmgewehr 44 with ZF-4
German infantry can unlock the Sturmgewehr 44 with ZF-4. The scope has a 4.0x magnification.
Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42
German Fallschirmjäger troops can unlock the rare Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42. As in real life it has heavy recoil when fired in full auto mode; if you switch it to semi-auto or shoot in short, controlled bursts, this weapon is very deadly due to the rifle cartridge. The game offers the early model of the FG42, something rarely seen in video games.
Mosin Nagant M91/30
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 is the standard Soviet bolt action rifle. It has clean sights and reloads with a 5 round stripper clip.
Mosin Nagant M91/30 with PU
The Mosin Nagant M91/30 with PU can be unlocked by Soviet Union infantry and sniper classes. The scope has a 3.5x magnification. When attaching the scope, the rifle can only be reloaded round by round, no stripper clips.
Tokarev SVT-40
The standard semi automatic rifle for the Soviet Union is the Tokarev SVT-40. It is fed from a 10 round detachable box magazine. It is a great all-around weapon ingame.
Tokarev SVT-40 with PU
The semi automatic Tokarev SVT-40 with PU can be unlocked by Soviet infantry and sniper classes. The scope has a 3.5x magnification. When attaching the scope, the rifle can still be reloaded with box magazines.
Simonov AVS-36
