Squad (2016)

Squad is a tactical first-person shooter video game. It is set to be self-published through Steam and is a spiritual successor to the multi-award winning Project Reality modification for Battlefield 2. The goal of Squad is to create a "tactical first person shooter built around teamwork and cooperation". The development was announced in October 2014 and it is currently in a pre-alpha state.

The following weapons appear in the video game Squad:

Pistols

Beretta M9A1

The Beretta M9A1 is revealed as the main sidearm of the U.S. Army Faction in the March 2015 Update.

Walther P99

Some U.S. Army soldiers are seen with a Walther P99 holstered. Oddly, the frame uses the Walther P99 but it appears with a slide, hammer, safety decocker, muzzle, and a rear sight similar to the Beretta 92FS. The weapon is non-usable.

Assault rifles

AK-74 / AK-74M

The AK-74M is the standard primary weapon for the Russian Ground Forces. It comes in multiple configurations with attachments such as the 1P78 2.8x scope or the GP-25 grenade launcher.

The standard AK-74 is usable by the Insurgent and Militia forces, and can be fitted a GP-25 for use by the Grenadier class. It was first weapon to be showcased in the Pre-alpha Gameplay, along with the M4.

The AK-74N is also usable by the Insurgents and Militiamen and can be identified thanks to the 1P78 scope that's always attached to it : the basic 74 isn't able to mount optics due to the lack of side rail.

M4/M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 carbine is the standard primary weapon for the US Army. The rifle is fitted with a railed handguard and comes in many configurations with different sighting systems (standard carry-handle iron sights, Aimpoint CompM4 red dot sight or ACOG optic sight) and rail attachments (vertical foregrip or M203 grenade launcher).

The standard M4 carbine with a correct three-round burst selector is usable by Militia riflemen. It comes in a single configuration, with plastic handguards and iron sights.

Before each reload, the player character performs a chamber check on the rifle...

...if the bolt is closed, he simply inserts a fresh magazine (note that it is actually loaded)

...if the bolt is locked open, he ends the reload by hitting the bolt stop

Sniper Rifles

SVD Dragunov

The SVD Dragunov is revealed to be a work in progress in the February 2015 update.

Launchers

RPG-7

The RPG-7 was added in the February 2015 update and later in April 2015 update. Currently in Pre-Alpha, the RPG-7 uses the OG-7V HE-Frag warhead rocket. PG-7VM HEAT and TBG-7 warhead rockets are seen in game but still unusable. It should be noted that Squad is one of the few games thus far that has included the lethal back-blast of the RPG and other similar launchers.
