PWS MK107 "Diablo"
What was first thought to be a Heckler & Koch HK416 by its design, is actually a PWS Diablo; An AR-15-based compact assault rifle. In-game, the PWS Diablo can be fitted with iron sights, red dot sight, Stubby Vertical Grip, and a suppressor. It also features Mapgul XTM rail covers in black and beige and ACE M4 SOCOM Stock. Because of its size, it's classified in-game as a sub-machine gun.
FN SCAR-H LMG
A FN SCAR-H appears in game with a 75-round double-drum magazine and a Grippod foregrip/bipod. It is classified as a light machine gun, same as the M249.
Sub-Machine Guns
TDI Vector
The TDI Vector appears in the game, named the Super V SMG. It is classified as a sub-machine gun along with the PWS Diablo.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Express
A Remington 870 Express with RealTree camo and a thumbhole stock is granted to anyone who pre-ordered the game through GameStop. It's also seen occasionally during the singleplayer campaign. It's fitted with a rail mount above the receiver and a spare shell holder.
Sniper Rifles
M110 SASS
The M110 SASS (Called M110 in-game) acts as the new sniper rifle for the U.S. Army faction. It uses a 10 round magazine.
Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention

Mounted weapons
Browning M2
The Browning M2 can be seen mounted on U.S. MBTs. It also appears to be the gun armament of the drone vehicle Goliath.
GAU-19A
The General Dynamics GAU-19/A seems the standard heavy mounted weapon in the game; they are seen mounted on Korean and American "Humvee" light trucks, as well as on the seemingly-fictional "AH-700" scout helicopters used by the Resistance and the American army.
GE M61 Vulcan
The GE M61 Vulcan is seen mounted on the excavator-like arms of Korean sentry gun towers.
Unknown drone weapon
Some drones have what appears to be a mounted weapon that resembles to the M240B by its heat shield, but has a larger barrel and a larger ammo type.
Type 85 heavy machine gun
A Type 85 heavy machine gun can be seen and used on the Korean Type 99 tank.
It looks like a modified DSHK to me
Launchers
Armbrust ATW
In very early pre-release versions of Homefront there is a rocket launcher that looks similar to the Armbrust ATW. It has been replaced with the Panzerfaust 3 in the final version.
Panzerfaust 3
FGM-148 Javelin
An FGM-148 Javelin launcher is used at the very end of the campaign to shoot down an enemy helicopter. This appears to be the only time it can be used.
