Hidden & Dangerous 2: Sabre Squadron (2004)

The following weapons appear in the video game Hidden & Dangerous 2:

Handguns

Colt M1911A1

The Colt M1911A1 appears in-game as the "Colt 1911".

Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP

Second Lieutenant Wingate with his Colt; the gun isn't particularly visible here, so have a look at the icon instead.

Getting a closer view.

And an even closer one, showing the higher detail of the first-person model.

Reloading; note that the bottom portion of the slide (which covers the recoil spring) is incorrectly shown as part of the frame.

The pistol's low-detail in-world model.

Enfield No. 2 Mk. I*

The Enfield No. 2 Mk I* is another usable sidearm, under the name "Enfield .38".

Enfield No. 2 Mk. I* - .38 S&W

Major Smith stands atop some partly-melted snow, Enfield in hand.

He gazes into the distance, wondering why he's the only man in this team with this instead of an M1911A1.

The revolver in first-person; all looks fine at first...

...until you decide to top it off. A product of its time, the reload animation features 6 live rounds being spat out of the gun in perfectly-ordered fashion, with the extractor seemingly present only in spirit.

The world model, whose textures seemingly can't quite decide where the light is coming from.

Luger P 08

The Luger P 08 appears, referred to as the "Parabellum P08" in-game. The "Sabre Squadron" expansion adds a variant fitted with a suppressor, simply called the "P08 Silenced".

Luger P 08 - 9x19mm Parabellum

Once again the odd man out, Major Smith holds a captured Luger.

He does not, however, hold in all of his blood.

The player character joining in on the fun; note that the upper structure of the toggle is rather wide of the mark, possibly due to the developers working off of a side-on photo and just taking a guess at the rest.

If so, said photo was most likely from the right-hand side, given that the left one doesn't have a safety.

The world model, with similar textures and far fewer polygons.

The suppressed variant; it's about what you'd expect, really.

Reloading is a similarly self-explanatory affair.

The world model; note that the suppressor on this model is different than the one on the first-person model, with a tapered back end and an extra band towards the front instead of the first-person gun's simple black tube.

Nambu Type 14

The Nambu Type 14 appears in-game as the "Taisho 14"; this refers to the fact that the pistol was adopted in year 14 of the Taisho era (1925 in the Gregorian calendar), hence its designation.

Nambu Type 14 (early variant) - 8x22mm Nambu

Private Czakowski broods in the fog, captured Nambu in hand.

Our protagonist then invades his personal space for a closer look. The look on his face says it all, really.

The Nambu in first-person; note the ribbed cocking knob and smaller trigger guard, showing that this is an early model.

Reloading the Type 14. As is common in games, the pistol's bolt is shown locked open throughout the entire process; the actual Type 14's hold-open is simply the magazine follower blocking the bolt from going forward, causing it to drop as soon as the empty magazine is removed.

The Nambu's world model; grips with serrations that only go partway up are noted on some actual Nambus, though said serrations tend to be spaced a bit further apart.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 appears in-game under the simple name "Tokarev".

Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

Major Wright holds his Tokarev, in about the least right location to get a good view of the thing.

That's not much better, honestly.

Taking the matter (i.e. the pistol) into his own hands, our protagonist finally gets a better look at the TT-33.

And then reloads it, showing that (unlike the above M1911A1) the slide/frame relationship is actually modeled correctly.

The in-world model, giving a better view of the grips; these are checkered, less like the reference image's and more like this example. They're also mirrored, given that a lanyard loop is visible on the right-hand side.

Shotguns

12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun

A somewhat generic hammerless 12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun appears under the even more generic name of "Shotgun"; as this implies, it is the only such weapon in the game.

L.C. Smith Field shotgun - 12 gauge

Major Smith stands at attention, holding the decidedly less martial one of his two weapons at the ready.

Another view, showing that his grasp on the weapon is tenuous at best.

The player character gets his hands much more firmly on one of his own. Not a whole lot visible here, especially with the HUD covering most of the receiver's details.

Aiming, although it's a bit hard to call it that when not even a simple bead sight is provided. It's really more just "pointing", honestly.

Reloading the shotgun; the breech latch isn't used during this animation, and the entire receiver barring the breechblock and upper tang seems to be made of wood. Note that the shell has a struck primer; the texture along the sides (complete with illegible text) also appears to be backwards, with the brass band that should be attached to the case head having been moved to the front of the shell instead.

The "Shotgun" (here referred to as "Strzelba", as this shot was taken on a Polish-localized version) on the ground; it somewhat oddly lacks a trigger guard, instead seeming to have been modeled with a derringer-like sheath trigger.

Submachine Guns

MP 40

The MP 40 is, naturally, available in-game; as is common in games, it is incredibly ubiquitous, being present in every single mission with German troops, and making up a disproportionate portion of their total armament.

MP 40 - 9x19mm Parabellum

Larry stands out in the snow with his captured MP 40.

We'd call him "Staff Sergeant Smith", but "Larry" is quicker.

The player character holds an MP 40 of his own, probably wishing he'd brought some gloves. Note that it incorrectly fires from a closed bolt; additionally, while NPCs somewhat sensibly hold it by the magazine well, the player character directly grasps the magazine itself, which could lead to feeding issues.

The iron sights - about what you'd expect, really.

Swapping mags.

An MP40 on the (considerably warmer) ground; note that the world model lacks a cocking handle entirely, with the whole receiver being textured as a single, smooth tube.

PPS-43

The PPS-43 is also available in-game, under the name "PPS 1943".

PPS-43 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

With the game taking place too early to let him have an SKS, Major Smith decides to grab a PPS and go innawoods.

Yes, that Smith. Larry's gotten a promotion.

The Sudayev in first-person; even with the graphical quality of the era it looks pretty much how you'd expect, not leastly because of how few polygons an actual PPS-43 has.

The irons, a similarly-simple affair. This does give a slightly better view of where the charging handle ought to be and clearly is not.

Shoving in a new magazine; the texture for the magazine well seems to be slightly misaligned, with the oval-shaped hole in it being moved down far enough that the end of the well cuts it off.

The PPS-43's world model; not much to note, besides the stock seemingly not being unfolded all the way.

PPSh-41

Accompanying the above PPS, the PPSh-41 is available under the name "Spagin"; this is a mis-spelling of "Shpagin", the Romanization of "Шпагин", the name of the weapon's designer (and the "Sh" in "PPSh"). It is always used with its 71-round drum magazines, though these hold only 64 round in-game.

PPSh-41 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev

Same locale, different stamped Soviet subgun.

And, naturally, a different man holding it.

The PPSh in first-person; unlike the MP 40, the bolt is correctly open.

Aiming; the front sight is there, but it blends in pretty well with the background in this area.

Loading in a new drum - note that the bolt is now closed, having locked forward when the reload started (as weapons in H&D 2 have only one reload animation). The drum, meanwhile, seems to lack an opening for cartridges to actually leave through.

A "Spagin" in the desert, balanced on its drum. The oversized trigger guard features a modeled trigger, though the fire selector is absent.

Sten Mk II

The Sten Mk II is another available SMG, simply called the "Sten gun" in-game.

Sten Mk II - 9x19mm Parabellum

A British man, the North African desert, and a Sten gun.

It's only natural, then, that there are going to be some dead German soldiers nearby.

Holding the Sten in first-person; unlike everyone else he encounters, the player character holds it by the magazine, an excellent way to induce misfeeds.

Aiming off into the distance, and getting a good view of the clearly-empty witness holes in the back of the magazine.

Swapping the empty magazine for another empty magazine (modeled without feed lips); like the PPSh above, the Sten's bolt does lock forward when it's empty.

The Sten's world model; like the MP 40, its receiver is modeled as a smooth, featureless tube. The "Pistolet Sten" name displayed here is another one specific to the Polish translation.

Sten Mk II(S)

The Sten Mk II(S) is also available, referred to simply as the "Sten gun(silenced)".

Sten Mk II(S) - 9x19mm Parabellum

Larry back at it again, now with an incredibly subtle disguise.

I'm sure the Germans won't question any aspect of this.

The player character with his own suppressed Sten; his decision to grab the magazine makes at least a little more sense now, given that the canvas heat wrap the Mk II(S) normally features has been curiously omitted.

Taking a look at the irons. From this view, there's effectively no way to distinguish the suppressed version from the normal one.

Reloading proceeds about the same as well.

A suppressed Sten on the ground; the suppressor is incorrectly modeled narrower than the receiver tube, rather than both being roughly the same diameter.

Thompson M1A1

The Thompson M1A1 is the final one of the game's SMGs, incorrectly referred to as the "M1 Thompson" (an earlier variant with a slightly more complex bolt design).

Thompson M1A1 - .45 ACP

Larry out in the streets of what was probably once a very beautiful French city with... hang on, can't really see it well from here...

...there we go, with a Thompson.

The player character holding one of his own.

Aiming at an unopenable door; the rear sight lacks its longer-range top notch, while the front sight is doing its best to disappear amongst the muddy grays of the background.

Reloading the M1A1. Interestingly, while the safety and fire selector knobs are modeled, the actual levers are simply textured onto the lower receiver; they do, however, appear to both be in the correct position for fully-automatic fire.

The Thompson's world model; the stock bolt's a bit too far towards the edge, but other than that it's pretty much fine.

2 cm Flakvierling 38

The 2 cm Flakvierling 38. Powerful anti-aircraft gun. The fastest way to find them is in the 4th mission "Op. Snowball - Iceberg", it is mounted on a German submarine. You can use it, but be careful when shooting. The weapon has high-explosive ammunition and a shot at a very close element means an explosion and death. Enemies also use this weapon. But killing an enemy is not a problem, because you can see his head in the place of the air sight.

MG 15

The MG 15. In one of the DLC missions, we have to destroy the wreck of the B-24 Liberator plane. Interestingly, it has two MG 15 machine guns without a magazine on board. They were probably intended to imitate the M2HB.

MG 17

The MG 17 in mounted on Bf 109 E.

MG 17 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

The MG 42 serves as the basic stationary machine gun of the German Army in every campaign mission, either on its basic bipod or on the larger Lafette tripod mount.

MG 42 - 7.92x57mm Mauser

Using the MG 42 in third-person...

...and in first-person. Note that the camera is clipping into the feed tray cover; this is a side effect of setting the FOV higher than the developers originally intended.
