Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops (2011)

Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops is a third-person shooter / stealth action video game developed by Black Lion Studios and released for the PC and Xbox 360 in 2011. The game is set in the year 2025, and tells the story of U.S. Army Captain Aron Alvarez and ISA (Intelligence Support Activity) agent Myra Lee as they try to assassinate a dangerous Somali dictator armed with high-end weapons to the teeth.

The following weapons appear in the video game Shadow Harvest: Phantom Ops:

Handgun

Glock 25

The compact .380 ACP Glock 25 is the default sidearm of Cpt. Aron Alvarez in the game. Holds 17 rounds, and has unlimited ammo. Appears incorrectly as "Glock 29" in the game, which is a subcompact pistol in 10mm AUTO. Furthermore, the nomenclature on the slide is on the wrong side, and reads "Glock 20", which is a full-sized pistol in 10mm AUTO. It is possible that at some point the gun was planned to be a G20, as the HUD icon of it is also a silhouette of a full-sized Glock.

Cpt. Alvarez draws his Glock in the shooting range. Note ".380 ACP" on the HUD.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5N

The MP5N appears in the game as a secondary weapon, known simply as "MP5". Gabriel Lawson uses an MP5N during Chapter 3 "Infernal Sands". ISA troops also carry MP5N's aboard the USS Stormbridger. The gun's magazine release paddle appears to be missing.

IMI Uzi

The Uzi is a secondary weapon in the game. It is extremely inaccurate and has an incorrect 30-round capacity.

Assault Rifles

AK-47

The Type I AK-47 is heavily used by rebels and OpFor teams. Appears incorrectly as "AK-101" in the game, and fires 5.56mm rounds (as the real AK-101 does). Despite being the earliest Type I variant, the gun features a railed top cover. This however, appears only on the high-detail model (the gun is in the hands of Aron).

In-game, the gun is modeled with final version magazines.

Colt M4A1

Colt M4A1 rifles are used by UNFOR troops and Vlatkonov's guards. The gun is modeled with a 20-round magazine, but holds 30 bullets. The gun's sides are mixed up: the ejection port, brass deflector and forward assist are on the opposite side.
