ArmA Tactics (2013)

ArmA Tactics is a turn-based strategy game developed by BIS (Bohemia Interactive Studio) for the PC, Nvidia Shield, and android devices. The game follows the story of four Special Forces operatives; Weapons Sergeant Marco "Grim" Salazar, Medical Sergeant Stanley "Stanboy" Dodds, Engineer Sergeant Derek "Boots" Masters, and Communication Sergeant Ian "Bodie" Ellis.

The following weapons can be seen in the game ArmA Tactics:

Player Weapons

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 is an all-purpose weapon with balanced stats. The magazine holds enough bullets for 7 short bursts; this is odd, given how it is modeled with a 20-round magazine, which would mean that every burst was exactly 2.857142 (repeating, of course) rounds. It can be modified with an ACOG (+ accuracy) and extended magazine (+2 shots per mag). A suppressor attachment was added after release via a patch.

Benelli M4

The Benelli M4 is a close-range weapon with high damage and low range. It cannot be modified and holds 4 rounds, despite clearly being modeled with the military 7-round tube.

M110 SASS

The M110 SASS can be fitted with an extended magazine (+2 shots), sniper scope (increased accuracy), and sound suppressor (added later in a patch). Holds only 4 rounds, despite being modeled with the 20-round magazine.

M249 Para

The FN M249 Paratrooper can be upgraded with an ACOG (+accuracy) and high capacity ammo bag (+2 shots). It holds enough bullets for 5 bursts by default.
