Riverstyx: /* Desert Eagle */

== Ingram ==

I believe that the Ingram used by Claire in the GamesCom 2018 Demo is a Model 10, not an 11. I have here two screen shots as evidence.

[[File:Claire_RE2R_Ingram2.jpg|thumb|none|600px| Ejection Port]]
First, as can be seen here, the ejection port seems to be both rather large, and with a very narrow distance to the back of the receiver. I believe this to be a good indication as to the model.

[[File:Claire_RE2R_Ingram.jpg|thumb|none|600px| Left side]]
Second - and, to me, most important - is the lack of the twin indented rails of a Model 11 on the left side of the receiver, seen here on this screen shot.

Combined with the size of the weapon, and the sound effect used being "beefier" than that of Claire's .38 caliber Bodyguard, I have good confidence that the Ingram is, indeed, a Model 10 - and in .45ACP, not 9x19mm.

== Unidentified Pistol ==

Ada Wong is seen with an unidentified pistol, pointing it at Leon. I believe it is a Mauser HSc. Can someone confirm? (I apologize about the link, it's not letting me post the picture directly.) --[[User:Bad Boy|Bad Boy]] ([[User talk:Bad Boy|talk]]) 10:49, 12 October 2018 (EDT)

This video has clear inventory shots of many of the weapons and their modified status.[[User:Temp89|Temp89]] ([[User talk:Temp89|talk]])

== Demo datamined ==

We're a few weeks out from the game's release, but inventory icons of all the weapons were found in the demo's files.

The game uses non-real names like Matilda for the VP70, and some of them are franken-guns to allow "parts" to turn them into newer more powerful guns, but in the file strings are a list of real gun names:

H&K USP

H&K VP70

Browning HP

"HP (Ada)" (her Mauser)

Colt S.A.A.

S&W M60 LadySmith

Remington M1100-P

MAC11

MP5

Desert Eagle .50AE

S&W 329

M79

Sparkshot

Flamethrower

Gatling gun

Rocket launcher

Infinite rocket launcher

"Sexy gun" with some sort of ammo or power gauge

You can also spawn and use the weapon upgrades for the VP70 and Shotgun.[[User:Temp89|Temp89]] ([[User talk:Temp89|talk]])

Is it a copyright issue the reason why this series has stopped using real names of guns? They really should of kept the real ammo capacity of the VP70. There was never a balance issue with it in the original game [[User:Excalibur01|Excalibur01]] ([[User talk:Excalibur01|talk]]) 11:27, 16 January 2019 (EST)

== Desert Eagle ==

I went ahead and added an entry for the "Lightning Hawk", AKA, the Desert Eagle. The model in-game is a bit hard to figure out (specifically the safety; I don't recognize it at all), so I had to guess a bit on it being a Mark XIX (I ended up looking at the height of the cocking serrations). If anyone thinks it's a different model, feel free to change that. [[User:Riverstyx|Riverstyx]] ([[User talk:Riverstyx|talk]]) 02:15, 27 January 2019 (EST)

|series=[[Resident Evil]]
|date= January 25, 2018
|developer=Capcom

|publisher=Capcom

}}

'''''Resident Evil 2''''' (2019) is a PC, PS4 and XBOX ONE remake of the original 1998 ''[[Resident Evil 2]]'', in the same vein as the 2002 ''[[Resident Evil (2002)|Resident Evil]]'' remake. The remake features significantly updated graphics, new third-person gameplay, and a retold storyline. Players are able to play as Leon Scott Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and will also be able to play as Ada Wong and Sherry Birkin. Additional modes featuring HUNK and Tofu will also be included.

{{VG Title}}

=Handguns=

== Heckler & Koch VP70M ==
In the remake, the [[Heckler & Koch VP70]] is called by the series' staple name for the gun, "Matilda", and is underloaded to 12 rounds, possibly to match the [[Browning Hi-Power]]. The VP70 can be upgraded with an unrealistic 24 round extended magazine, the burst fire stock and a compensator to reduce recoil. The weapon description in the in-game menu says that it is non standard issue gun with problems that make it impractical for the general public, implying that it is Leon's personal carry gun rather than his RPD service weapon.

[[Image:VP-70.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Heckler & Koch VP70M with attached stock - 9x19mm]]

[[File:RE2RemasterVP70_02.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The "Matilda" in recoil.]]
[[File:RE2RemasterVP70_03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

== Browning Hi-Power Mark III ==
Leon is seen using a [[Browning Hi-Power Mark III]] in the reveal trailer for the remake, which makes sense, as the Hi-Power is one of the stated official duty pistols of the RPD, though it is unsure whether Leon will be able to use one in the final game. In a recent video with Claire, she is seen using the Browning with a laser sight. it is called "JMB Hp3". The "Hp3" is obviously a reference to the actual name of the gun, Hi-Power Mark III, while "JMB" likely stands for John Moses Browning.

[[Image:HiPowerMk3.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Browning Hi-Power Mark III - 9x19mm]]
[[File:RE2ReHP.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the missing external extractor on the weapon model.]]

[[File:RE2RemasterLeonHiPower.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leon holds the Hi-Power]]

== Smith & Wesson Bodyguard ==
Claire is seen using the [[Smith & Wesson Bodyguard]] revolver in the new Gamescom 2018 trailer, fighting a new William Birkin. In a new video featuring Claire, the name of her revolver is revealed. It is called "SLS 60" and it states that it is a 5-shot 9mm handgun.

[[Image:S&WBody3.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Smith & Wesson Bodyguard - .38 Special]]
[[File:Claire_RE2R_SnW3849.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Claire quickly reloads her Bodyguard, facing down mutant G-Birkin.]]

==Mauser HSc==
Ada Wong carries a black [[Mauser HSc]] as her weapon of choice. In-game it is known as the "Broom Hc". The player can use it in Ada's playable section, though its power is rather anemic and it has no upgrades.
[[Image:Mauser HSc Plastic Grip.jpg|thumb|none|300px|none|Mauser HSc with plastic grips - .32 ACP]]

==Revolver==
RPD Chief Brian Irons is seen using a revolver to threaten Claire in the Gamescom 2018 trailer.

==Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge"==
The S.T.A.R.S (Special Tactics And Rescue Service) standard-issue "Samurai Edge" custom [[Beretta 92FS Brigadier]] makes a comeback as preorder DLC. There is reportedly 2 different versions, and also Wesker's variant.

[[Image:RESamuraiEdgeAirsoft.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Airsoft Replica of the Beretta 92FS "Samurai Edge" made by Tokyo Marui from the ''Resident Evil'' video game series. With close up on the engravings.]]

==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
A black [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] with custom wood grips and a modified safety appears as the "Lightning Hawk". It can be acquired in the STARS office after a somewhat lengthy treasure hunt. True to the other magnum pistols of the series, it is incredibly powerful but is hampered by rare ammunition. It can be upgraded with a long barrel and a red dot sight that, oddly, behaves like a laser sight.
[[Image:Desert-Eagle.jpeg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE.]]

=Submachine Guns=

== Ingram MAC-11 ==

The [[MAC-10#Mac-11|MAC-11]] is possible to see in the Claire Redfield's Demo used against Willian Birkin.

[[Image:Mac m11 9k.jpg|thumb|none|300px|RPB Industries M11A1 - .380 ACP]]
[[Image:MAC11_RE2REMAKE.jpg|thumb|none|600px| Claire shooting with MAC 11 against William Birkin in Gamescom 2018 Demo]]

[[Image:MP5A3.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Heckler & Koch MP5A3 with SEF trigger group - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Re2mp5.jpg|thumb|none|600px]]

=Shotguns=

==Remington 870==

Leon can acquire a [[Remington 870]] in a pistol grip configuration early on in the game. It is known as the W-870 in-game and is initially found with a 4-round tube magazine which can later be upgraded to 8 rounds along with an extended barrel for a tighter spread, as well as a full stock for reduced recoil. Interestingly, it starts with black polymer furniture, but this is switched out for wood as the gun is upgraded.

=Grenade Launchers=

== M79 ==

Claire is seen with an [[M79_Grenade_Launcher|M79]] on her back, and in action, in the Gamescom 2018 Demo, used against William Birkin. In a recent video with Claire, her grenade launcher can be upgraded from pistol grip to full length which reduces recoil and allows shots to travel in a more stable trajectory. It should be noted that when the launcher has a pistol grip, it only takes up one slot in the inventory while when it is full length, it takes up 2 slots.

== Adding pics to the Payday 2 page ==

If you can, try to centralize articles about guns, so to speak. You added a pic to the AMIR article, which as you probably know, i just a modified version of the AKMSU. The same split was between the MP5's until i changed it.

What im trying to say is that, don't spread stuff out. It's not a demand but it helps to have things centered to one article.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 16:51, 4 December 2015 (EST)
:True, although the AIMR was put there before by someone else. If you don't mind, I'll leave the formatting up to you or someone else :P but yeah the page has been cluttered up quite a bit. [[User:AgentGumby|AgentGumby]] ([[User talk:AgentGumby|talk]]) 16:59, 4 December 2015 (EST)

The reason I removed it is actually the opposite of what you said: the fact that much worse things happened wouldn't mean issuing expanding bullets to be fired at infantry as a matter of policy would be seen as a minor violation of the Hague Convention. But the actual point is that this was a weapon which was never supposed to be used in combat, and the choice of a round you couldn't legally fire at the enemy even if you wanted to is reflective of that. Hopefully the rewrite gets that across a bit better. [[User:Evil Tim|Evil Tim]] ([[User talk:Evil Tim|talk]]) 23:41, 7 May 2018 (EDT)

== RE: Volkssturmgewehr ==

I'm not necessarily saying that it's incorrect ''per se''; it's just a rather odd and inefficient way of going about charging the weapon. The charging handle is connected to the gas-trapping upper assembly, which is in turn connected directly to the bolt, so there's no particular reason not to pull the charging handle. It's a bit like when a game's empty reload animation for an AR-15-pattern rifle involves the use of the charging handle instead of the bolt release; it's not ''wrong'', but why would you go out of your way to preform this action in an awkward, inefficient manner when there's a far better, easier way to do it? I hope that this clears things up.

The direct sequel to [[Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm]], '''''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam''''' brings the intense tactical realism of Tripwire Interactive's Red Orchestra series into the the Vietnam War, at the height of American involvement, with the notable continuation of asymmetrical faction elements from the previous title (such as the helicopters and air support of the American forces versus the tunnel spawn system of the Vietnamese forces). Both the United States Army and Marine Corps are present in levels based on their respective battles of the war, fighting against either the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) or the People's Army of Vietnam (North Vietnamese Army). A new feature of this title is the ability for the player to customize the personal appearance of their in-game character, differentiated between the five factions and the additional helicopter pilot class of the US forces.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam (2017)'''''.

__TOC__ 

=Weapons of the US Army, USMC, ARVN and the Australian Army=
==Sidearms==
===Colt M1911A1===
As with the previous title, the [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1]] is available as a sidearm to most classes in the US forces as well as the ARVN, with the exception of the Grunt, and the Radioman and Combat Engineer on some maps. It comes with two spare 7-round magazines.
[[File:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]

[[File:M1911A1 reloadingfromempty.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Short on time, the player character reloads and flips off his opponent simultaneously.]]

===M1917 Revolver===
Added in the 1.03 update, the [[M1917 Revolver]] is an alternative to the 1911 pistol for South Vietnamese forces issued with a sidearm. It is fired in double-action mode with a significantly long trigger pull and poor accuracy, but the hammer can also be cocked manually before each shot to eliminate the delay and the accuracy penalty. The revolver is loaded using two half-moon clips, and comes with 6 spares for a total of the 3 reloads from empty. It cannot be reloaded if less than three rounds have been fired; the player character never ejects a clip if there are still rounds on it, so if 3 to 5 rounds have been fired, he only ejects the half-moon clip with the spent rounds on it by keeping the other one in place with his palm, and one loaded half-moon clip is placed inside the cylinder. If all the rounds have been fired, both clips are ejected and two new ones are put in place.

===Browning Hi-Power===
Added in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[Browning Hi-Power]] is a standard issue pistol of the Australian Army.

==Submachine Guns==

===M1A1 Thompson===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] was added as the standard-issue SMG for the ARVN faction in the 1.08 ARVN Update. It comes with 30-round box magazines and can be switched between semi and full-auto fire modes.
[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine - .45 ACP]]

[[Image:RS2 Thompson reload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading.]]

===M3A1 Grease Gun===
The [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"|M3A1 Grease Gun]] is available to the Pointman, Combat Engineer, and Commander classes. It is issued with 3 spare magazines, and its wire stock can be collapsed for added maneuvrability in tight spaces which, naturally, also decreases accuracy.

===Owen Submachine Gun===
Introduced in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[Owen Submachine Gun]] is available to the Australian Scout and Radioman.

===F1 Submachine Gun===
Introduced in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[F1 SMG|F1 Submachine Gun]] is available to the Australian Scout, Combat Engineer and Commander. While it might seem useless in comparison with it's WWII counterpart, the F1's got a much slower rate of fire over the Owen meaning it's easier to control and keep on target when your nerves get fried in the thick of it. Plus, bayonet because why wouldn't you want a bayonet?

==Shotguns==
===Ithaca Model 37===
The 12-gauge [[Ithaca 37]] pump-action shotgun, used extensively by South Vietnamese in Vietnam, is available to the Pointman and Combat Engineer classes. It comes in three distinct variants :

- the full-size Trench Gun sports wooden furniture, a heat shield, and a bayonet lug which can mount a standard M7 bayonet. It holds 5 shells.

- the 'Stakeout' Riot Gun is a handier variant, with a pistol grip and no buttstock, that also recoils a lot harder. Note that it isn't an actual 'Stakeout' model : it has a standard 20-inch barrel instead of the shortened 13-inch barrel.

- the 'Duckbill' Conversion is fitted with an extended magazine tube that holds 8 shells, and a muzzle attachment that spreads out fired pellets in a wide, horizontal pattern.

Both the Trench and Riot Guns are issued with 35 shells of either 00 Buckshot (8 large pellets) or No.4 Buckshot (16 smaller pellets) : the former packs more punch, while the latter increases hit probability at extended ranges because of the sheer number of projectiles. The 'Duckbill' Conversion on the other hand comes with 32 shells of No.4 Buckshot only, to get the most out of its muzzle attachement. It is worth to note that the reload sequence for all the available Model 37 variants is performed incorrecty. When reloading from empty, the player character always puts one shell too many in the magazine tube (5 when there should be 4 for the Trench and Riot Guns, 8 when there should be 7 in the 'Duckbill' Conversion), and does so while the bolt is back so when he racks the action forward, there should be no round in the chamber. And when topping off the magazine tube, he racks the action backward before filling up the magazine tube, which is not only unnecessary but also counter-productive as it ejects an unfired shell.

==Rifles==

===M1/M2 Carbines===
The [[M1 Carbine]] and its fully-automatic variant the [[M2 Carbine]] were added in update 1.07. The M1 Carbine is available to Northern Sappers on some maps and comes with 15-round magazines and a well-worn appearance, while the M2 is available as an alternative primary for US Grenadiers as well as the ARVN Pointman and comes with 30-round magazines and can be toggled between semi-auto and full-auto.

===M1 Garand===
The [[M1 Garand]] has been added as the main rifle of the ARVN. The M1D variant is also used by the ARVN as their standard issue sniper rifle.

[[Image:RS2 M1D scope.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Scoped in. The zoom is noticeably lower than other snipers, trading range for versatility.]]

===M16A1 Assault Rifle===
The [[M16A1]] is the assault rifle of the US Rifleman as well as the ARVN Pointman. It comes with seven spare 20-round magazines that actually hold 18 (a common practice to avoid magazine-related malfunctions), accepts a bayonet, and both the short-range and long-range apertures are usable.
[[File:M16A1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M16A1 with 20 round magazine - 5.56x45mm]]

[[File:M16A1 bayonet.jpg|thumb|none|600px|It's a little late for that.]]

===M14 Battle Rifle===
The [[M14]] rifle is a large-caliber alternative to the M16 for US Grunts and Radiomen, and is the only rifle available to the Commander role. It is capable of mounting a bayonet, and is issued with five spare 20-round magazines that can be topped off using 5-round stripper clips. Its rear sight can be adjusted for elevation through five settings, from 91 meters all the way up to 457 meters (100 to 500 yards). Although the real-life M14 is select-fire, the in-game version can only be fired in semi-automatic mode (as was common practice during the Vietnam conflict).

===XM177E1===
Introduced in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[M16_rifle_series#Colt_XM177.2FCAR-15.2FCommando_Series|XM177E1]] is available to the US Army. The player can adjust the length of the stock which makes the iron sight picture larger and makes the weapon more compact at a cost of controllability on full-auto.

===XM21 Sniper Weapon System===
The [[M21#M21.2FM25_Sniper_Weapon_System|XM21]] rifle is available to the US Army Marksman. It comes in two variants :

- the Standard variant is just what you'd expect. It can mount a bayonet.

- the Suppressed variant (added as part of the August 2017 1.03 update) is a little more interesting : it is fitted with a sound suppressor instead of the standard flash hider, and fires subsonic ammunition. Its action also has to be manually operated after each shot, so either the lower power ammunition can't cycle the bolt, or the gas sytem has been cut off by the user to avoid the action noise and make the rifle as quiet as possible.

Both rifles come with an AR TEL scope with six magnification setting from 3x to 9x. Each magnification setting also has its own zero setting (the higher the magnification, the higher the zero distance), and it is different for the two rifles because of the different ammunition they fire. The Standard variant starts off at 100m and can get to 700m in 100m increments, while the Suppressed variant begins at 50m and can get to 200m in 25m increments. They also have an alternate aiming mode for close range where the player character simply points the rifle forward and the view magically zooms in.
Both rifles come with 3 spare 20-round magazines.

===M40 Sniper Rifle===
The [[M40 Sniper Rifle]] is issued to the USMC Marksman with the equivalent of six stripper clips of spare ammunition, for a total of 30 spare rounds. Its distinctively-finished Redfield scope is elevation-adjustable through 6 settings, from 90 to 550 meters (100 to 600 yards), However, unlike the actual scope, it is not adjustable for magnification but locked to 3x. This means the scope's rangefinder doesn't work even though the necessary reticule markings are correctly featured (see pictures for detailed explanation). The scope also covers up the feeding/ejection port so the M40 must be reloaded with individual rounds.
[[File:M40 1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M40 sniper rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:RS2VM40I.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding the M40.]]
[[File:M40 scope2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rangefinding procedure for this Redfield scope is as follows :
1) Place the target between the two horizontal lines at the top. 2) Adjust the magnification for it to perfectly fit. 3) If you zoomed in, the range scale zoomed in too, so now part of it is cut off by the edge of the scope. 4) The bottom-most figure on the scale is your approximate range to the target. This can't be done in game because the scope's magnification is fixed. The horizontal bars at the top also appear to be too close to eachother for man-sized targets : when looking at a target we know is at 200 yards, it's twice as tall as the space between the bars.]]

===M1918 Browning Automatic Rifle===
The [[Browning Automatic Rifle]] has been added as the main light machine gun of the ARVN forces.
[[Image:BAR1918.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle - .30-06.]]

===M1919A6 Browning Machine Gun===
The [[Browning M1919A6]] has been added as the main medium machine gun for the ARVN forces, as their analogue to the M60.
[[Image: 1919A6_postWW2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1919A6, post-WWII manufacture with conical muzzle booster - .30-06 Springfield]]

===M60 GPMG===
The [[M60]] is the main machine gun of the American forces, and only available to the Machine Gunner. "The Pig" is issued with either three 100-round belt boxes, or a single 200-round belt of 7.62x51mm ammunition, with one in five a tracer. Its rear leaf sight is adjustable for elevation in 100-meter increments, from 400m to a rather optimistic 1100m. It also has a bipod usable when prone or behind cover.

===L2A1===
Introduced in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[FN_FAL#L1A1|L2A1 machine gun]] is available to the Australian Machine Gunner.

==Launchers and Flamethrowers==
===M79 Grenade Launcher===
The signature weapon of the Grenadier, the [[M79]] Grenade Launcher is the only explosive launcher available to the US forces. It is quite versatile, as players have access to a variety of 40x46mm ammunition loadouts for different situations : 6 rounds of High-Explosive and 2 rounds of masking smoke, 6 rounds of HE and another 6 rounds of Buckshot, or simply 9 HE grenades. The HE rounds have a realistic arming distance of about 15 meters : within this range, they won't explode if they hit their target, or a barrier, to protect the shooter. Unexploded 40mm rounds still hurt though, and can kill with a well-placed shot : managing this will earn the player the 'Thumper' achievement. Finally, the M79's rear sight is adjustable for elevation from 50 to 300 meters, in 25 meters increments.

===M9A1-7 Flamethrower===
The US Combat Engineer has a fearsome [[M9 Flamethrower|M9A1]] flamethrower at his disposal, which can deal short-range devastation to the environment.

==Grenades and Explosives==
===M112 Demolition Charge===
The Combat Engineer has a single M112 C4 charge at his disposal, given that he doesn't equip the flamethrower. It can either be stuck on a surface or thrown like a handgrenade, only not as far because of the weight, and is detonated from a distance. It is very powerful and can be used for ambushes or clearing fortified emplacements.
[[Image:M112.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M112 C4 demolition charge]]

[[File:C4 detonation.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having given Charlie his birthday present, the engineer detonates the charge. Even at this safe distance, the concussive force is strong as ever.]]

===M18A1 Claymore===
The Marksman has one [[M18A1 Claymore|Claymore mine]], and the Pointman has two. It can be placed on the ground, and then detonated with a M57 switch, sending dozens of deadly fragments in the direction the front of the mine faces.

===M18 Smoke Grenade===
The standard smoke grenade for all South Vietnamese forces, the M18 comes in white, red and purple flavors for all occasions.

[[Image:M18red.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M18 smoke grenade - Red.]]

===M34 White Phosphorous Grenade===
Given to the South Vietnamese engineer, the M34 is an ''interesting'' grenade option. On one hand, it is a fairly efficient smoke grenade that puts out quite a big plume of smoke, and on the other it's a WP that's uncomfortably effective at cleaning out tight corridors and interior spaces.

[[Image:M34 2-1-.jpg|thumb|none|250px|M34 White Phosphorous grenade]]

===M61 Fragmentation Grenade===
The main hand grenade for the South Vietnamese forces is the [[M61 Hand Grenade|M61]] fragmentation grenade, which was the updated version of the M26.

==Mounted Weapons==

===M60D Machine Gun===
Two [[M60#M60D Machine Gun|M60D Machine Guns]] are mounted on the UH-1 'Huey' transport helicopter, one on each side. They can be used by the passengers, with no class requirement, to suppress ground troops.

[[File:Huey M60D.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M60D and the gunner's seat.]]

===M134 Minigun===
The [[M134 Minigun]] is mounted on the side of the OH-6 'Loach' light scout/attack helicopter, and on the chin turret of the AH-1 Cobra attack helicopter.

=Weapons of the NVA/PAVN and the VC/NLF=
==Sidearms==
===Tokarev TT-33===
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the main sidearm for the North Vietnamese forces. It holds 8 rounds per magazine.
[[Image:TT-33.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Tokarev TT-33 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]

===Makarov PM===
Introduced in the 1.03 update on August 2017, the [[Makarov PM]] was made available for Communist forces as an alternative to the TT-33.

==Submachine Guns==
===MAT-49===
The [[MAT-49]] is a usable submachine gun for the North Vietnamese forces. Players can choose between the original French 9mm version or the Vietnamese 7.62x25mm Tokarev conversion, the latter has an increased fire rate.
[[Image:MAT-49.jpg|thumb|none|400px|MAT-49 Submachine Gun - 9x19mm]]

[[File:RS2 MAT-49(3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Collapsing the stock for some close quarters work against the Aussies.]]

===PPSh-41===
The [[PPSh-41]] is another usable submachine gun for the North Vietnamese forces, having a much higher fire rate than the [[MAT-49]]. Like in [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad|Red Orchestra 2]], the PPSh starts off with 35-round magazines, though the original 71-round drum magazines are also available in the loadout screen. The fire selector is also usable on the base weapon. The model looks slightly different though.

==Shotguns==
===IZH-58===
A double-barreled IZH-58 shotgun is usable for the North Vietnamese forces in both full-length, Coach Gun and sawed-off versions. The sawn-off version appears to reload slightly faster and is limited to 00 Buckshot while the Coach Gun and full-length versions are able to use 1oz Slugs in addition to Buckshot. While accuracy decreases, every flavor of the IZH is brutally efficent, while the sawn off becomes useless outside of 25 yards, the full length can hit targets well in excess of 75 yards and more.

==Rifles==
===AKM / Type 56 / Type 56-1===
Several AK-pattern rifles grouped under the "[[AK-47]]" classification are available to the Rifleman on the North Vietnamese side :

- the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], with its fixed wood stock, 'bakelite' pistol grip, ribbed dust cover and open front sight ring. It accepts a Type II bayonet.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56]], that differs with its wood pistol grip, smooth dust cover and fully enclosed front sight ring. It also has integrated spike bayonet which can be unfolded.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] is the underfolding variant of the Type 56. It doesn't have a bayonet.

All three rifles come with three spare 30-round steel magazines. They can be fired in semi or fully-automatic, and while the fire selector is not animated and stays in the 'Safe' position, for some reason, the hand of the character actually moves down when switching to semi, and moves up when switching to fully-auto, which is some welcome attention to detail. The rear sight of all the rifles are adjustable for elevation from 100m to 800m in 100-meters increments, which is correct for the Type 56 guns, but not for the AKM which should be able to go up to 1000m.

===Mosin Nagant M91/30===
The [[Mosin-Nagant M91/30]] is the oldest gun in the game, available to the North Vietnamese factions in both the standard and sniper rifle variants. Rather hilariously, there is an achievement for getting kills with the non-scoped Mosin, fittingly dubbed "It belongs in a museum!".

===SKS-45===
The [[SKS]] appears as a usable rifle to the PAVN/VC forces.

[[File:RS2 SKS (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A wayward PAVN soldier brass checks his SKS after hearing the sound of distant surf rock.]]

===SVD Dragunov===
The [[SVD Dragunov]] appears as another sniper rifle for the North Vietnamese forces; its semi-automatic operation and box magazines are key advantages over the scoped Mosin-Nagant.
[[Image:SVD Rifle.jpg|thumb|none|400px|SVD Dragunov sniper rifle - 7.62x54mm R]]

==Machine Guns==
===Degtyaryov DP-28===
The [[DP-28]] from [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad|Red Orchestra 2]] returns as an available machine gun for the North Vietnamese forces. While it might seem useless in comparison to the sheer firepower of the RPD, the DP has the advantage of being relatively controllable straight from the shoulder and coming with more than just 1-2 drums.

===Degtyaryov RPD===
The [[RPD]] appears as the main light machine gun for the North Vietnamese forces, serving as a direct counterpart to the M60.

[[File:RS2VRPDR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Reloading the RPD.]]

==Launchers==
===RPG-7===
The iconic [[RPG-7]] appears as the main launcher for the North Vietnamese forces, coming with the launcher plus 3 rounds. While it must be aimed before you actually fire, it's impressively decimating against both ground targets and helicopters. In a rare sight seldom seen in video games, there is a rendered backblast upon firing. The entire rear of the launcher becomes deadly for 10m back and can easily kill allies, enemies and yourself if you aren't careful.

==Grenades and Explosives==
===MD-82 Mine===
The North Vietnamese Sapper class comes armed with the MD-82 mine, a copy of the American [[M14 anti-personnel mine]]. Carrying 5 of these little bundles of fun, the MD-82 is really only useful for rigging up entryways as it's famed "toe popping" is rendered in underwhelming detail.

[[Image:M14Mine.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M14 anti-personnel mine with safety clip attached.]]

===RGD-1 Smoke Grenade===

===Type 67 Grenade===
The North Vietnamese forces use the Type 67 as their standard grenade, functioning around the same as the M61.

[[Image:Type67Grenade.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Type 67 High-Explosive Fragmentation stick grenade]]

==Mounted Weapons==
===DShK Heavy Machine Gun===
Several maps have DShK machine guns mounted on tripod mounts for the North Vietnamese. Feeding from standard 50-round boxes, the DShK is used both for firing on infantry but especially for anti-air and anti-helicopter roles.

The direct sequel to [[Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm]], '''''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam''''' brings the intense tactical realism of Tripwire Interactive's Red Orchestra series into the the Vietnam War, at the height of American involvement, with the notable continuation of asymmetrical faction elements from the previous title (such as the helicopters and air support of the American forces versus the tunnel spawn system of the Vietnamese forces). Both the United States Army and Marine Corps are present in levels based on their respective battles of the war, fighting against either the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) or the People's Army of Vietnam (North Vietnamese Army). A new feature of this title is the ability for the player to customize the personal appearance of their in-game character, differentiated between the five factions and the additional helicopter pilot class of the US forces.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam (2017)'''''.

__TOC__ 

=Weapons of the US Army, USMC, ARVN and the Australian Army=
==Sidearms==
===Colt M1911A1===
As with the previous title, the [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1]] is available as a sidearm to most classes in the US forces, with the exception of the Grunt, and the Radioman and Combat Engineer on some maps. It comes with two spare 7-round magazines.

===M1917 Revolver===
Added in the 1.03 update, the [[M1917 Revolver]] is an alternative to the 1911 pistol for US forces issued with a sidearm. It is fired in double-action mode with a significantly long trigger pull and poor accuracy, but the hammer can also be cocked manually before each shot to eliminate the delay and the accuracy penalty. The revolver is loaded using two half-moon clips, and comes with 6 spares for a total of the 3 reloads from empty. It cannot be reloaded if less than three rounds have been fired; the player character never ejects a clip if there are still rounds on it, so if 3 to 5 rounds have been fired, he only ejects the half-moon clip with the spent rounds on it by keeping the other one in place with his palm, and one loaded half-moon clip is placed inside the cylinder. If all the rounds have been fired, both clips are ejected and two new ones are put in place.

===M1A1 Thompson===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] was added as the standard-issue SMG for the ARVN faction in the 1.08 ARVN Update. It comes with 30-round box magazines and can be switched between semi and full-auto fire modes.

===M3A1 Grease Gun===
The [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"|M3A1 Grease Gun]] is available to the Pointman, Combat Engineer, and Commander classes. It is issued with 3 spare magazines, and its wire stock can be collapsed for added maneuvrability in tight spaces which, naturally, also decreases accuracy.

==Shotguns==
===Ithaca Model 37===
The 12-gauge [[Ithaca 37]] pump-action shotgun, used extensively by US forces in Vietnam, is available to the Pointman and Combat Engineer classes. It comes in three distinct variants :

- the full-size Trench Gun sports wooden furniture, a heat shield, and a bayonet lug which can mount a standard M7 bayonet. It holds 5 shells.

- the 'Stakeout' Riot Gun is a handier variant, with a pistol grip and no buttstock, that also recoils a lot harder. Note that it isn't an actual 'Stakeout' model : it has a standard 20-inch barrel instead of the shortened 13-inch barrel.

- the 'Duckbill' Conversion is fitted with an extended magazine tube that holds 8 shells, and a muzzle attachment that spreads out fired pellets in a wide, horizontal pattern.

Both the Trench and Riot Guns are issued with 35 shells of either 00 Buckshot (8 large pellets) or No.4 Buckshot (16 smaller pellets) : the former packs more punch, while the latter increases hit probability at extended ranges because of the sheer number of projectiles. The 'Duckbill' Conversion on the other hand comes with 32 shells of No.4 Buckshot only, to get the most out of its muzzle attachement. It is worth to note that the reload sequence for all the available Model 37 variants is performed incorrecty. When reloading from empty, the player character always puts one shell too many in the magazine tube (5 when there should be 4 for the Trench and Riot Guns, 8 when there should be 7 in the 'Duckbill' Conversion), and does so while the bolt is back so when he racks the action forward, there should be no round in the chamber. And when topping off the magazine tube, he racks the action backward before filling up the magazine tube, which is not only unnecessary but also counter-productive as it ejects an unfired shell.

==Rifles==

===M1/M2 Carbines===
The [[M1 Carbine]] and its fully-automatic variant the [[M2 Carbine]] were added in update 1.07. The M1 Carbine is available to Northern Sappers on some maps and comes with 15-round magazines and a well-worn appearance, while the M2 is available as an alternative primary for US Grenadiers and comes with 30-round magazines and can be toggled between semi-auto and full-auto.

===M1 Garand===
The [[M1 Garand]] will be added as the main rifle of the ARVN forces. The M1D sniper variant is also available.

===M16A1 Assault Rifle===
The [[M16A1]] is the assault rifle of the US Rifleman. It comes with seven spare 20-round magazines that actually hold 18 (a common practice to avoid magazine-related malfunctions), accepts a bayonet, and both the short-range and long-range apertures are usable.

===M14 Battle Rifle===
The [[M14]] rifle is a large-caliber alternative to the M16 for US Grunts and Radiomen, and is the only rifle available to the Commander role. It is capable of mounting a bayonet, and is issued with five spare 20-round magazines that can be topped off using 5-round stripper clips. Its rear sight can be adjusted for elevation through five settings, from 91 meters all the way up to 457 meters (100 to 500 yards). Although the real-life M14 is select-fire, the in-game version can only be fired in semi-automatic mode (as was common practice during the Vietnam conflict).

===XM21 Sniper Weapon System===
The [[M21#M21.2FM25_Sniper_Weapon_System|XM21]] rifle is available to the US Army Marksman. It comes in two variants :

- the Standard variant is just what you'd expect. It can mount a bayonet.

- the Suppressed variant (added as part of the August 2017 1.03 update) is a little more interesting : it is fitted with a sound suppressor instead of the standard flash hider, and fires subsonic ammunition. Its action also has to be manually operated after each shot, so either the lower power ammunition can't cycle the bolt, or the gas sytem has been cut off by the user to avoid the action noise and make the rifle as quiet as possible.

Both rifles come with an AR TEL scope with six magnification setting from 3x to 9x. Each magnification setting also has its own zero setting (the higher the magnification, the higher the zero distance), and it is different for the two rifles because of the different ammunition they fire. The Standard variant starts off at 100m and can get to 700m in 100m increments, while the Suppressed variant begins at 50m and can get to 200m in 25m increments. They also have an alternate aiming mode for close range where the player character simply points the rifle forward and the view magically zooms in.
Both rifles come with 3 spare 20-round magazines.

===M40 Sniper Rifle===
The [[M40 Sniper Rifle]] is issued to the USMC Marksman with the equivalent of six stripper clips of spare ammunition, for a total of 30 spare rounds. Its distinctively-finished Redfield scope is elevation-adjustable through 6 settings, from 90 to 550 meters (100 to 600 yards), However, unlike the actual scope, it is not adjustable for magnification but locked to 3x. This means the scope's rangefinder doesn't work even though the necessary reticule markings are correctly featured (see pictures for detailed explanation). The scope also covers up the feeding/ejection port so the M40 must be reloaded with individual rounds.
[[File:M40 1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M40 sniper rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:RS2VM40I.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding the M40.]]
[[File:M40 scope2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rangefinding procedure for this Redfield scope is as follows :
1) Place the target between the two horizontal lines at the top. 2) Adjust the magnification for it to perfectly fit. 3) If you zoomed in, the range scale zoomed in too, so now part of it is cut off by the edge of the scope. 4) The bottom-most figure on the scale is your approximate range to the target. This can't be done in game because the scope's magnification is fixed. The horizontal bars at the top also appear to be too close to eachother for man-sized targets : when looking at a target we know is at 200 yards, it's twice as tall as the space between the bars.]]

===M60 GPMG===
The [[M60]] is the main machine gun of the American forces, and only available to the Machine Gunner. "The Pig" is issued with either three 100-round belt boxes, or a single 200-round belt of 7.62x51mm ammunition, with one in five a tracer. Its rear leaf sight is adjustable for elevation in 100-meter increments, from 400m to a rather optimistic 1100m. It also has a bipod usable when prone or behind cover.

==Launchers and Flamethrowers==
===M79 Grenade Launcher===
The signature weapon of the Grenadier, the [[M79]] Grenade Launcher is the only explosive launcher available to the US forces. It is quite versatile, as players have access to a variety of 40x46mm ammunition loadouts for different situations : 6 rounds of High-Explosive and 2 rounds of masking smoke, 6 rounds of HE and another 6 rounds of Buckshot, or simply 9 HE grenades. The HE rounds have a realistic arming distance of about 15 meters : within this range, they won't explode if they hit their target, or a barrier, to protect the shooter. Unexploded 40mm rounds still hurt though, and can kill with a well-placed shot : managing this will earn the player the 'Thumper' achievement. Finally, the M79's rear sight is adjustable for elevation from 50 to 300 meters, in 25 meters increments.

===M112 Demolition Charge===
The Combat Engineer has a single M112 C4 charge at his disposal, given that he doesn't equip the flamethrower. It can either be stuck on a surface or thrown like a handgrenade, only not as far because of the weight, and is detonated from a distance. It is very powerful and can be used for ambushes or clearing fortified emplacements.

=Weapons of the NVA/PAVN and the VC/NLF=
==Sidearms==
===Tokarev TT-33===
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the main sidearm for the Vietnamese forces. It holds 8 rounds per magazine.

===Makarov PM===
Introduced in the 1.03 update on August 2017, the [[Makarov PM]] was made available for Communist forces as an alternative to the TT-33.

==Submachine Guns==
===MAT-49===
The [[MAT-49]] is a usable submachine gun for the Vietnamese forces. Players can choose between the original French 9mm version or the Vietnamese 7.62x25mm Tokarev conversion, the latter has an increased fire rate.

===PPSh-41===
The [[PPSh-41]] is another usable submachine gun for the Vietnamese forces, having a much higher fire rate than the [[MAT-49]]. Like in [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad|Red Orchestra 2]], the PPSh starts off with 35-round magazines, though the original 71-round drum magazines are also available in the loadout screen. The fire selector is also usable on the base weapon. The model looks slightly different though.

==Shotguns==
===IZH-58===
A double-barreled IZH-58 shotgun is usable for the Vietnamese forces in both full-length, Coach Gun and sawed-off versions. The sawn-off version appears to reload slightly faster and is limited to 00 Buckshot while the Coach Gun and full-length versions are able to use 1oz Slugs in addition to Buckshot.

==Rifles==
===AKM / Type 56 / Type 56-1===
Several AK-pattern rifles grouped under the "[[AK-47]]" classification are available to the Rifleman on the North Vietnamese side :

- the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], with its fixed wood stock, 'bakelite' pistol grip, ribbed dust cover and open front sight ring. It accepts a Type II bayonet.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56]], that differs with its wood pistol grip, smooth dust cover and fully enclosed front sight ring. It also has integrated spike bayonet which can be unfolded.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] is the underfolding variant of the Type 56. It doesn't have a bayonet.

All three rifles come with three spare 30-round steel magazines. They can be fired in semi or fully-automatic, and while the fire selector is not animated and stays in the 'Safe' position, for some reason, the hand of the character actually moves down when switching to semi, and moves up when switching to fully-auto, which is some welcome attention to detail. The rear sight of all the rifles are adjustable for elevation from 100m to 800m in 100-meters increments, which is correct for the Type 56 guns, but not for the AKM which should be able to go up to 1000m.

===Mosin Nagant M91/30===
The [[Mosin-Nagant M91/30]] is the oldest gun in the game, available to the Vietnamese factions in both the standard and sniper rifle variants.
The former can be loaded with stripper clips, but the latter must be reloaded by individual rounds due to the scope.

===SVD Dragunov===
The [[SVD Dragunov]] appears as another sniper rifle for the Vietnamese forces; its semi-automatic operation and box magazines are key advantages over the scoped Mosin-Nagant.

The direct sequel to [[Red Orchestra 2: Rising Storm]], '''''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam''''' brings the intense tactical realism of Tripwire Interactive's Red Orchestra series into the the Vietnam War, at the height of American involvement, with the notable continuation of asymmetrical faction elements from the previous title (such as the helicopters and air support of the American forces versus the tunnel spawn system of the Vietnamese forces). Both the United States Army and Marine Corps are present in levels based on their respective battles of the war, fighting against either the National Liberation Front (Viet Cong) or the People's Army of Vietnam (North Vietnamese Army). A new feature of this title is the ability for the player to customize the personal appearance of their in-game character, differentiated between the five factions and the additional helicopter pilot class of the US forces.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Rising Storm 2: Vietnam (2017)'''''.

__TOC__ 

=Weapons of the US Army, USMC, ARVN and the Australian Army=
==Sidearms==
===Colt M1911A1===
As with the previous title, the [[M1911_pistol_series#M1911A1|Colt M1911A1]] is available as a sidearm to most classes in the US forces, with the exception of the Grunt, and the Radioman and Combat Engineer on some maps. It comes with two spare 7-round magazines.
[[File:M1911Colt.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt M1911A1 - .45 ACP]]

[[File:M1911A1 reloadingfromempty.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Short on time, the player character reloads and flips off his opponent simultaneously.]]

===M1917 Revolver===
Added in the 1.03 update, the [[M1917 Revolver]] is an alternative to the 1911 pistol for US forces issued with a sidearm. It is fired in double-action mode with a significantly long trigger pull and poor accuracy, but the hammer can also be cocked manually before each shot to eliminate the delay and the accuracy penalty. The revolver is loaded using two half-moon clips, and comes with 6 spares for a total of the 3 reloads from empty. It cannot be reloaded if less than three rounds : the player character never ejects a clip if there are still rounds on it. So if 3 to 5 rounds have been fired, he only ejects the half-moon clip with the spent rounds on it by keeping the other one in place with his palm, and one loaded half-moon clip is placed inside the cylinder. If all the rounds have been fired, both clips are ejected and two new ones are put in place.

===Browning Hi-Power===
Added in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[Browning Hi-Power]] is a standard issue pistol of the Australian Army.

==Submachine Guns==

===M1A1 Thompson===
The [[M1A1 Thompson]] was added as the standard-issue SMG for the ARVN faction in the 1.08 ARVN Update. It comes with 30-round box magazines and can be switched between semi and full-auto fire modes.
[[Image:M1sb.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M1A1 Thompson with 30-round magazine - .45 ACP]]

===M3A1 Grease Gun===
The [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"|M3A1 Grease Gun]] is available to the Pointman, Combat Engineer, and Commander classes. It is issued with 3 spare magazines, and its wire stock can be collapsed for added maneuvrability in tight spaces which, naturally, also decreases accuracy.

==Shotguns==
===Ithaca Model 37===
The 12-gauge [[Ithaca 37]] pump-action shotgun, used extensively by US forces in Vietnam, is available to the Pointman and Combat Engineer classes. It comes in three distinct variants :

- the full-size Trench Gun sports wooden furniture, a heat shield, and a bayonet lug which can mount a standard M7 bayonet. It holds 5 shells.

- the 'Stakeout' Riot Gun is a handier variant, with a pistol grip and no buttstock, that also recoils a lot harder. Note that it isn't an actual 'Stakeout' model : it has a standard 20-inch barrel instead of the shortened 13-inch barrel.

- the 'Duckbill' Conversion is fitted with an extended magazine tube that holds 8 shells, and a muzzle attachment that spreads out fired pellets in a wide, horizontal pattern.

Both the Trench and Riot Guns are issued with 35 shells of either 00 Buckshot (8 large pellets) or No.4 Buckshot (16 smaller pellets) : the former packs more punch, while the latter increases hit probability at extended ranges because of the sheer number of projectiles. The 'Duckbill' Conversion on the other hand comes with 32 shells of No.4 Buckshot only, to get the most out of its muzzle attachement. It is worth to note that the reload sequence for all the available Model 37 variants is performed incorrecty. When reloading from empty, the player character always puts one shell too many in the magazine tube (5 when there should be 4 for the Trench and Riot Guns, 8 when there should be 7 in the 'Duckbill' Conversion), and does so while the bolt is back so when he racks the action forward, there should be no round in the chamber. And when topping off the magazine tube, he racks the action backward before filling up the magazine tube, which is not only unnecessary but also counter-productive as it ejects an unfired shell.

The [[M16A1]] is the assault rifle of the US Rifleman. It comes with seven spare 20-round magazines that actually hold 18 (a common practice to avoid magazine-related malfunctions), accepts a bayonet, and both the short-range and long-range apertures are usable.

===M14 Battle Rifle===
The [[M14]] rifle is a large-caliber alternative to the M16 for US Grunts and Radiomen, and is the only rifle available to the Commander role. It is capable of mounting a bayonet, and is issued with five spare 20-round magazines that can be topped off using 5-round stripper clips. Its rear sight can be adjusted for elevation through five settings, from 91 meters all the way up to 457 meters (100 to 500 yards). Although the real-life M14 is select-fire, the in-game version can only be fired in semi-automatic mode (as was common practice during the Vietnam conflict).

===XM177E1===
Introduced in the 1.05 "Bushranger" content update, the [[M16_rifle_series#Colt_XM177.2FCAR-15.2FCommando_Series|XM177E1]] is available to the US Army. The player can adjust the length of the stock.

===XM21 Sniper Weapon System===
The [[M21#M21.2FM25_Sniper_Weapon_System|XM21]] rifle is available to the US Army Marksman. It comes in two variants :

- the Standard variant is just what you'd expect. It can mount a bayonet.

- the Suppressed variant (added as part of the August 2017 1.03 update) is a little more interesting : it is fitted with a sound suppressor instead of the standard flash hider, and fires subsonic ammunition. Its action also has to be manually operated after each shot, so either the lower power ammunition can't cycle the bolt, or the gas sytem has been cut off by the user to avoid the action noise and make the rifle as quiet as possible.

Both rifles come with an AR TEL scope with six magnification setting from 3x to 9x. Each magnification setting also has its own zero setting (the higher the magnification, the higher the zero distance), and it is different for the two rifles because of the different ammunition they fire. The Standard variant starts off at 100m and can get to 700m in 100m increments, while the Suppressed variant begins at 50m and can get to 200m in 25m increments. They also have an alternate aiming mode for close range where the player character simply points the rifle forward and the view magically zooms in.
Both rifles come with 3 spare 20-round magazines.

===M40 Sniper Rifle===
The [[M40 Sniper Rifle]] is issued to the USMC Marksman with the equivalent of six stripper clips of spare ammunition, for a total of 30 spare rounds. Its distinctively-finished Redfield scope is elevation-adjustable through 6 settings, from 90 to 550 meters (100 to 600 yards), However, unlike the actual scope, it is not adjustable for magnification but locked to 3x. This means the scope's rangefinder doesn't work even though the necessary reticule markings are correctly featured (see pictures for detailed explanation). The scope also covers up the feeding/ejection port so the M40 must be reloaded with individual rounds.
[[File:M40 1.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M40 sniper rifle - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:RS2VM40I.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Holding the M40.]]
[[File:M40 scope2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rangefinding procedure for this Redfield scope is as follows :
1) Place the target between the two horizontal lines at the top. 2) Adjust the magnification for it to perfectly fit. 3) If you zoomed in, the range scale zoomed in too, so now part of it is cut off by the edge of the scope. 4) The bottom-most figure on the scale is your approximate range to the target. This can't be done in game because the scope's magnification is fixed. The horizontal bars at the top also appear to be too close to eachother for man-sized targets : when looking at a target we know is at 200 yards, it's twice as tall as the space between the bars.]]

[[Image: 1919A6_postWW2.jpg|thumb|right|401px|M1919A6, post-WWII manufacture with conical muzzle booster - .30-06 Springfield]]

===M60 GPMG===
The [[M60]] is the main machine gun of the American forces, and only available to the Machine Gunner. "The Pig" is issued with either three 100-round belt boxes, or a single 200-round belt of 7.62x51mm ammunition, with one in five a tracer. Its rear leaf sight is adjustable for elevation in 100-meter increments, from 400m to a rather optimistic 1100m. It also has a bipod usable when prone or behind cover.

==Launchers and Flamethrowers==
===M79 Grenade Launcher===
The signature weapon of the Grenadier, the [[M79]] Grenade Launcher is the only explosive launcher available to the US forces. It is quite versatile, as players have access to a variety of 40x46mm ammunition loadouts for different situations : 6 rounds of High-Explosive and 2 rounds of masking smoke, 6 rounds of HE and another 6 rounds of Buckshot, or simply 9 HE grenades. The HE rounds have a realistic arming distance of about 15 meters : within this range, they won't explode if they hit their target, or a barrier, to protect the shooter. Unexploded 40mm rounds still hurt though, and can kill with a well-placed shot : managing this will earn the player the 'Thumper' achievement. Finally, the M79's rear sight is adjustable for elevation from 50 to 300 meters, in 25 meters increments.

==Grenades and Explosives==
===M112 Demolition Charge===
The Combat Engineer has a single M112 C4 charge at his disposal, given that he doesn't equip the flamethrower. It can either be stuck on a surface or thrown like a handgrenade, only not as far because of the weight, and is detonated from a distance. It is very powerful and can be used for ambushes or clearing fortified emplacements.

===M18A1 Claymore===
The Marksman has one [[M18A1 Claymore|Claymore mine]], and the Pointman has two. It can be placed on the ground, and then detonated with a M57 switch, sending dozens of deadly fragments in the direction the front of the mine faces.

==Submachine Guns==
===MAT-49===
The [[MAT-49]] is a usable submachine gun for the Vietnamese forces. Players can choose between the original French 9mm version or the Vietnamese 7.62x25mm Tokarev conversion, the latter has an increased fire rate.

===PPSh-41===
The [[PPSh-41]] is another usable submachine gun for the Vietnamese forces, having a much higher fire rate than the [[MAT-49]]. Like in [[Red Orchestra 2: Heroes of Stalingrad|Red Orchestra 2]], the PPSh starts off with 35-round magazines, though the original 71-round drum magazines are also available in the loadout screen. The fire selector is also usable on the base weapon. The model looks slightly different though.

==Shotguns==
===IZH-58===
A double-barreled IZH-58 shotgun is usable for the Vietnamese forces in both full-length, Coach Gun and sawed-off versions. The sawn-off version appears to reload slightly faster and is limited to 00 Buckshot while the Coach Gun and full-length versions are able to use 1oz Slugs in addition to Buckshot.

==Rifles==
===AKM / Type 56 / Type 56-1===
Several AK-pattern rifles grouped under the "[[AK-47]]" classification are available to the Rifleman on the North Vietnamese side :

- the [[AK-47#AKM|AKM]], with its fixed wood stock, 'bakelite' pistol grip, ribbed dust cover and open front sight ring. It accepts a Type II bayonet.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56]], that differs with its wood pistol grip, smooth dust cover and fully enclosed front sight ring. It also has integrated spike bayonet which can be unfolded.

- the [[AK-47#Norinco Type 56|Type 56-1]] is the underfolding variant of the Type 56. It doesn't have a bayonet.

All three rifles come with three spare 30-round steel magazines. They can be fired in semi or fully-automatic, and while the fire selector is not animated and stays in the 'Safe' position, for some reason, the hand of the character actually moves down when switching to semi, and moves up when switching to fully-auto, which is some welcome attention to detail. The rear sight of all the rifles are adjustable for elevation from 100m to 800m in 100-meters increments, which is correct for the Type 56 guns, but not for the AKM which should be able to go up to 1000m.

===Mosin Nagant M91/30===
The [[Mosin-Nagant M91/30]] is the oldest gun in the game, available to the Vietnamese factions in both the standard and sniper rifle variants.
The former can be loaded with stripper clips, but the latter must be reloaded by individual rounds due to the scope.

===SVD Dragunov===
The [[SVD Dragunov]] appears as another sniper rifle for the Vietnamese forces; its semi-automatic operation and box magazines are key advantages over the scoped Mosin-Nagant.
