The following weapons appear in the video game Sons Of The Forest:

Heckler & Koch USP Compact

The pistol in game is a hybrid design and takes design cues from multiple pistols; however, it is most obviously influenced by the Heckler & Koch USP Compact, as evidenced by its slide being very close to the USP Compact's, and even going so far as to have "COMPACT PISTOL" engraved on the slide where "USP COMPACT" would otherwise be, and in a similar font no less. Interestingly, the pistol in game is noted to be chambered in a .22 caliber as indicated by markings on the gun and on pistol ammo boxes, which is not a caliber any USP pistol has ever been chambered in, although the lack of tapering on the barrel in game and the proportions of the pistol rounds call this into question.

Heckler & Koch USP Compact with stainless slide - 9x19mm

Sons of the Forest's pistol, with a rail mount, suppressor, and tactical light attached. Besides the peculiar "CAL. 22" markings on the slide and barrel, the most obvious thing of note is how far forward the slide release notch on the slide is; while this is accurate as USPs have long slide releases, the replacement of such with a more conventional-looking slide release means that the slide release is way far forward than would otherwise be ergonomically preferable.
