The following weapons appear in the computer game Steel Beasts:
NOTE: This article reflects the latest commercially-available version of the game, Steel Beasts Professional Personal Edition.
Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun
The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun appears mounted on M1A1 Abrams tanks, M113 Armored Personnel Carriers, and Humvees. On the Abrams, the M2HB is on a powered mount operated from the Commander's station inside the turret known as the Commander's Weapon Station, enabling the Tank Commander to aim and fire the .50 cal without having to expose himself to hostile fire.
M240 Machine Gun
The M240 machine gun appears mounted on M1A1 Abrams as a secondary machine gun to the heavier M2HB Browning with an M240D mounted at the Loader's hatch atop the turret and an M240C in a 'coaxial' mount parallel to the main 120mm gun, though only the latter of the two is useable as the player can only man the Gunner, Tank Commander, and Driver's stations in the Abrams. The M240C also appears as a coaxial weapon on M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicles.
MG3A1 Machine Gun
the German-built Leopard 2 tanks in the game come equipped with MG3A1 machine guns as their equivalent to the M240's on the American Abrams. Just like the Abrams, only the Gunner's coaxial MG3A1 can actually be used.
Heckler & Koch G36
The computer-controlled infantry can be seen carrying Heckler & Koch G36 rifles as their main weapons.
NSV Heavy Machine Gun
The NSV heavy machine gun appears mounted on the Commander's hatches of Soviet-made T72 tanks in the game, while T80 tanks are equipped with the NSVT variant.
AK-74 Rifle
Soviet infantry in the game can be seen carrying AK-74 rifles as their weapons.
PKT Machine Gun
Nearly all Soviet-made vehicles in the game come equipped with a PKT machine gun, the vehicle-mounted version of the PK machine gun. It is typically employed as a coaxial weapon, though the MT-LB armored personnel carrier uses it as its' primary weapon in a small turret atop the hull.
KPVT Heavy Machine Gun
The BTR-80 armored personnel carrier and BRDM-2 scout vehicle in the game come equipped with a turret-mounted KPVT heavy machine gun, the vehicle-mounted version of the KPV heavy machine gun as thier primary armament.
BGM-71 TOW
The BGM-71 TOW anti-tank missile launcher appears mounted on several U.S. vehicles, including the M2 Bradley Infantry Fighting Vehicle, M901 Improved TOW Vehicle, and Humvees.
M242 Bushmaster Chaingun
In addition to the TOW missiles mentioned above, the M2 Bradley IFV's are also armed with an M242 Bushmaster chaingun as their primary weapon, which can fire High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) or sabot ammo.
