==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] is seen widely within NERV, likely as a standard sidearm for NERV security forces, including computer technicians First Lieutenants Makoto Hyuga and Shigeru Aoba, the latter handing one (or possibly his own) to Maya Ibuki.

Ibuki reluctantly holds a Glock 17 given by Aoba.]]

==Heckler & Koch USP45==
NERV officer Major Misato Katsuragi uses a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] as her personal sidearm in the film to defend Tokyo 3’s NERV Headquarters. In the series her USP is chambered in .40 S&W, but in concept art and for the film shows it as being chambered in .45 ACP.

[[Image:MisatosHKUSP7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Misato pulls out her USP45 after receiving word that Japanese Strategic Self-Defense Force soldiers have started their raid on Tokyo-3. The slightly longer slide/barrel, rail under the dust cover and the various safeties are visible.]]

==Browning Hi-Power MK III==
The [[Browning Hi-Power]] is the standard-issue sidearm used by the JSSDF being seen holstered and drawn. In the manga, some JSSDF soldiers carried the [[Walther P99]] pistol.
[[Image:HiPowerMk3.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Browning Hi-Power - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:EOEM 06.jpg|thumb|600px|none|JSSDF commandos invading NERV HQ armed with HK G11s rifles and Browning Hi-Power pistols. Note the pistol carried by the soldier on the right lacks a sight hump (seen on Inglis Hi Powers), and has a flat top slide.]]
[[Image:Jssdfhk1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Browning Hi Power is seen in the JSSDF soldier’s holster on the left.

[[File:EOEM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The JSSDF soldier crouching has a Hi Power holstered on his belt behind him. The black contoured grips are better visible here.]]

==Inglis Hi-Power==
Along with the standard Browning Hi Power, a Canadian [[Inglis Hi-Power]] is drawn by a JSSDF soldier attempting to eliminate Shinji Ikari. It can be identified as such by its distinctive rear sight. In the manga, this same JSSDF soldier draws a Gen 2 Glock 17.

==R-92==
Ritsuko Akagi uses a [[R-92|R-92 revolver]], which she hides in the pocket of her lab coat during her confrontation with Gendo inside Terminal Dogma.

[[Image:Ritsukosrev1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ritsuko aims her R-92.]]

=Submachine Guns=
==Hybrid Submachine Gun==
According to Evangelion Chronicle #22, Aoba's personal submachine gun is a hybrid consisting of parts from a [[Steyr MPi 69]] and the Russian [[AEK-919K Kashtan]]. While normally only NERV guards are armed with submachine guns and normal technicians and computer operators are only armed with Glock 17s, command center computer operator Lt. Aoba either manages to get his hands on one or kept one stored in his desk for just such an eventuality.
[[File:AEK_919_all.jpg|thumb|400px|none|AEK-919s of first (1994), second (1995), and third (1999) generations - 9x18mm Makarov]]

[[Image:Aoba4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aoba holds his SMG up as all the computer technicians monitor Asuka in Eva-02.]]

==IMI Uzi==
NERV security forces use the [[IMI Uzi]] as their standard-issue weapon.
[[File:Uzi-1.jpg|thumb|none|350px|IMI Uzi with folding stock - 9x19mm]]
[[Image:Nervguards1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A NERV guard holding a Uzi submachine gun gets “stabbed in the back” from a Government JSSDF soldier who somehow managed to sneak up on the guard without being detected.]]
[[Image:Nervguards2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|NERV guards armed with Uzis as they communicate in confusion.]]

=Rifles=
==Heckler & Koch G11==
The [[Heckler & Koch G11]] is the standard weapon of Japanese Strategic Self Defence Force soldiers when given the order to raid the NERV Headquarters in Tokyo-3. The G11's caseless ammunition is accurately depicted, as the JSSDF's G11s never eject casings (as opposed to their Hi-Powers, which do); its reciprocating magazine, on the other hand, is not.
[[Image:G11proto13.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Heckler & Koch G11 Prototype 13 - 4.73x33mm]]

[[File:EOEM 04.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A JSSDF soldier battling through the corridors of NERV HQ with a HK G11. Note that the animators appear to have mistook the G11's magazine for a fixed part of the gun and drawn it flush with the rest of the gun.]]

[[File:EOEM 01.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Two JSSDF soldiers shoot at Misato with their HK G11s.]]

=Machine Guns=
==MAS NF-1==
The [[MAS AA-52|MAS NF-1]], which is a variant of the AA-52 machine gun mounted on French-made military vehicles, is seen mounted in a co-axial position on JSSDF AMX-10RCs as they lay a bombardment on Nerv HQ in the beginning of the movie.
[[File:AA-52 coaxial MG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MAS AA-52 in coaxial configuration - 7.5x54mm French]]
[[File:EoE AMX-10RC.jpg|thumb|none|600px|JSSDF AMX-10RCs prepare to open fire at Nerv HQ from the mountain road in ''End of Evangelion''.]]

==Sumitomo M2==
JSSDF Mitsubishi Type 74 MBTs are armed with the [[Browning M2|Sumitomo M2]], the licensed-made version of the Browning M2 as the secondary weapon.
[[Image:BrowningM2_plain.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB - .50 BMG. The Sumitomo M2HB is a license-made version of the Browning M2HB for Japanese use only.]]
[[File:EOEM 19.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A JSSDF-manned Type 74 mobilizes on the highway towards Tokyo 3.]]

==Sumitomo Type 74==
The [[Sumitomo NTK-62|Sumitomo Type 74]], the co-axial machine gun version of the Sumitomo Type 62 GPMG, is mounted on Type 74 MBTs in a co-axial position.
[[Image:Type74MG.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Vehicle-mounted Type 74 machine gun - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:EOEM 19.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A JSSDF-manned Type 74 mobilizes on the highway towards Tokyo 3.]]

=Rocket Launchers=
==IHI Aerospace 110mm LAM==
JSSDF soldiers use [[Panzerfaust 3|IHI Aerospace 110mm LAM]]s while infiltrating Nerv headquarters.
[[Image:PNZFT3.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Panzerfaust 3 with DM12A1 rocket - 60mm]]

[[Image:Eoe P3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A JSSDF soldier on the left is armed with a 110mm LAM moments after firing it at the anti-blast door Misato and Shinji used to get in the cage elevator.]]

=Other Weapons=
==M2 Flame Thrower==
A JSSDF soldier uses a [[M2 Flamethrower]] to flush-out and kills Nerv personnel.
[[Image:M2 Flamethrower.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2 Flamethrower]]
[[File:EOEM 03.jpg|thumb|none|600px|''"Hit 'em again!"'']]

==M269 Launcher Loader Module==
JSSDF-maned MLRS use them when they take on Asuka's Unit 02 as it's deployed against the invasion.

'''''Train Simulator Classic''''' is a train simulation game developed and published by Dovetail Games.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Train Simulator Classic is (in)famous for its large amount of DLC. Some of these DLCs feature military equipment. Because of the large number of DLCs, and the lack of weapons in the "base game", the weapons on this page are sorted by DLC instead of type.

Note that some of the DLCs on this page were developed by third-party developers and only published by Dovetail Games.

=UK Military Wagon Pack Add-On=
The '''''UK Military Wagon Pack Add-On''''' was developed by Just Trains and published by Dovetail Games on April 29th, 2020. As the name suggests, it includes modern British military transport wagons with appropriate loads.

[[Image:AlienIsolation-poster.jpg|thumb|right|300px|''Alien: Isolation'' (2014).]]
'''''Alien: Isolation''''' is a first-person horror/stealth game developed by Creative Assembly and published by SEGA of Europe since mid to late 2010 and was subjected to a story rewrite in the middle of 2013 following the poor reception of [[Aliens: Colonial Marines]]. It was officially announced in January of 2014 and released on October 7, 2014 for PC, Xbox 360, PS3, Xbox One and PS4, with other platforms such as OSX, Switch and mobile in later dates. Running under the proprietary Cathode engine, this game takes place sometime after the events of [[Alien]].

As with ''Colonial Marines'' before it, the game featured numerous DLC bonus levels that take place in most of the game's timeframe, as well as before it. Two bonus levels that used to be exclusive to the pre-order editions of the game take place in an alternate version during the events of ''Alien''. All of the DLCs do not contain any new weaponry.

'''The following weapons appear in the video game ''Alien: Isolation'':'''
__TOC__ 

{{spoiler}}

==.357 Revolver==
The .357 Revolver, manufactured by the fictional Spearhead Armoury, is the only sidearm featured in the game and is frequently used by the many human survivors and security personnel aboard Sevastopol Station, most notably Axel. Right after Amanda Ripley (the player character) enters an office in the Lorenz Systech Spire, she can acquire the .357 Revolver, which can be found on a table in said office. However, while the player cannot pick up any revolvers dropped by dead humans, they can loot the corpses for ammunition (even before the revolver is acquired).

Gameplay-wise, the .357 Revolver is a 6-round, semi-automatic revolver chambered for the fictional .357 LR cartridge and appears to be based on both the [[Chiappa Rhino#Chiappa Rhino 50DS|Chiappa Rhino 50DS]] and [[Mateba Model 6 Unica]]. Like both revolvers, it fires from the bottom chamber of the cylinder. Depending on the shot placement, the revolver has decent stopping power against human survivors, but may struggle considerably with taking down Seegson "Working Joes" synthetics, especially the heavily armored ones wearing Hazmat suits. As with all weapons in the game, its iron sights cannot be used and the revolver cannot fatally harm the Aliens encountered in the game. Unlike most video game portrayals of revolvers, the player actually uses the ejector rod to push out the bullets rather than simply shaking the revolver's cylinder downward. In addition, the revolver is reloaded one round at the time and the player must press (or hold) the reload button for each round they wish to insert into the cylinder. However, there are several unrealistic aspects of the revolver's reload animation. First of all, the player simply ejects all the rounds from the cylinder (regardless of whether or not all of them were fired) and the unfired rounds somehow magically hop back into the player's ammo pool. Second, the rounds ejected are all spent casings, even if there were unfired rounds still left in the chamber. Finally, the player swings the cylinder shut with the flick of the wrist rather than pushing it closed with the other hand, which can cause the cylinder to be misaligned and/or the revolver to malfunction.

[[Image:AI-revolverg.jpg|thumb|none|601px|Amanda continues to insert rounds into the revolver as the dreaded Alien slowly rises to its feet. Note that the Alien model more closely resembles the one featured in ''[[Alien]]'' rather than the Aliens featured in ''[[Aliens]]'' and its sequels, which is part of an attempt to recreate the eerie, nostalgic, tensional atmosphere and look of ''Alien''.]]
[[Image:AI-revolverh.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Marshall Waits ([[William Hope]]) confronts Amanda with his .357 Revolver during his first encounter with her. William Hope portrayed Lt. Gorman in ''[[Aliens]]''.]]

==Model 37-12 Shotgun==
The Model 37-12 shotgun, manufactured by the fictional Henjin-Garcia, is carried by Marshal Waits' ([[William Hope]]) deputy, Ricardo, and several of the human survivors on the Sevastopol Station. The shotgun is first found on the lap of a dead human survivor in an abandoned hallway right after Amanda Ripley escapes from an Alien-infested Gemini Exoplanet Solutions module jettisoned into space. It is a 12 gauge, 4-round pump-action shotgun that can instantly kill a human with one shot (depending on the shot placement), severely damage Working Joes, and briefly stun the Xenomorph long enough for the player to retreat. Like the .357 Revolver, the player has to press (or hold) the reload button for each round they wish to insert in, although the player does not pump the shotgun after reloading from an empty tube. Strangely, while it features dual underbarrel internal tube magazines, Amanda Ripley never preforms an action to switch between them (although it is possible she could be only using one tube). The shotgun is based on the SWATriplex-18, a prototype shotgun designed in the 1970s by John W. Winter that was never mass-produced.

[[Image:AI-shotgunc.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While heading down to the Alien nest inside the Central Reactor, Amanda helplessly pumps her shotgun as a fellow Facehugger proceeds to latch onto her face. Although Amanda technically falls unconscious during the attack animation, all Facehugger attacks are instakills due to the difficulty of portraying the entire impregnation process. When the image is blown up, note the inscription on the receiver of the shotgun, which vaguely reads, "Henjin-Garcia". What appears to be "103F" can be seen further down the shotgun, just right below the manufacturer inscription.]]
[[Image:AI-shotgund.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda with the Model 37-12 shotgun at the ready as she approaches a sealed elevator door.]]

==Custom Flamethrower==
A custom flamethrower like the one from ''[[Alien]]'' appears in the ''Crew Expendable'' and ''Sole Survivor'' DLC, which are set on the USCSS ''Nostromo'' during the events of ''Alien''. The flamethrower also appears in the main game and possibly due to time limitations and such, the flamethrower and the one in the DLCs share the same animation model. It can be found in the Solomons Habitation Tower after Amanda Ripley speaks with Marlow and Marshal Waits announces his plan to defeat the Alien. Ellen Ripley (voiced by [[Sigourney Weaver]]), Captain Dallas (voiced by [[Tom Skerritt]]), and Parker (voiced by [[Yaphet Kotto]]) all carry the custom flamethrowers in the DLC. Unlike many of the weapons in the game, the flamethrower actually has an effect on the Alien, as a small burst of flames can force it to temporarily retreat into Sevastopol's vents, giving the player enough time to escape and/or move about the area for a limited amount of time without interference from the Alien itself. However, as with all weapons, it cannot fatally harm the Alien. Interestingly, when using the flamethrower on synthetics, they may occasionally say, "Most animals retreat from fire. I am not an animal," referring to a line spoken by Ash in ''Alien''.
[[Image:Ripley's Flamethrower.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Screen-used flamethrower from ''Alien''. Image from Prop Store of London.]]
[[Image:AlienIsolationflamethrower.jpg|thumb|none|400px|The in-game flamethrower model.]]
[[Image:AI-flamethrower.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ellen Ripley picks up the flamethrower resting on the table at the bridge area of the ''Nostromo''.]]
[[Image:AI-flameunit.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda Ripley picks up the flamethrower in Marshal Waits' storage room in the Solomons Habitation Tower. Barely any differences between the two flamethrowers, despite the fact that they were rigged by different people during different time periods.]]
[[Image:AI-flameunitb.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda engages into a head-on battle with the Alien using her flamethrower. In order to maintain the look and atmosphere of the original 1979 film, all of the technology, including the airlocks and digital devices, appearing in the game are designed to appear futuristic with consideration for the technological restrictions of the late 1970s-early 1980s.]]
[[Image:AI-flameunitc.jpg|thumb|none|600px|After burning a portion of the Alien nest, Amanda reloads her flamethrower by switching gas tanks. The reloading animation only takes into account the red tank and not the other tank for some reason. Anyone that watched [[Aliens]] may find many of the game's rare references to the 1986 sequel during Amanda's journey down the depths of the nest, especially this moment.]]

==Bolt Gun==
Designed by Chief W. Porter, the fictional "Bolt Gun", which appears to be a futuristic and larger version of a captive bolt pistol, can be first found in the Chief Engineer's Office in the Maintenance Deck when Amanda proceeds down to the Central Reactor after talking to APOLLO. The bolt gun appears to be firing anchored bolts (referred to as "Watasumi Expanding Bolts" in-game) and appears to have parts based off the cattle prods used by the ''Nostromo'' crew in [[Alien]] (especially the barrel and the battery park taped to the front of the weapon). In the game's universe, the bolt gun is likely used by engineers for repair operations and is a single-shot projectile weapon that can instantly kill the Working Joes equipped with Hazmat suits and anything weaker than it. In order to fire the projectile weapon, the player must hold the trigger for a few seconds to charge it and then release the trigger when ready to fire, making the weapon difficult to use in close quarters. In addition, the Bolt Gun is unable to lethally harm the Aliens as with all the weapons in-game and is too slow and cumbersome to use against the small, but nimble Facehuggers. However, the Bolt Gun, similar to the Shotgun, is powerful enough to briefly incapacitate the Alien.
[[Image:AI-boltgun.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda acquires the Bolt Gun while inside the Chief Engineer's Office.]]
[[Image:AI-boltgunb.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda demonstrates the effectiveness of the Bolt Gun against a Hazmat suit-equipped Working Joe with a charged bolt to the head.]]
[[Image:AI-boltgunc.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amanda reloads her Bolt Gun by pumping it forward, which releases the compressed gas used to launch the bolt, and inserting a new bolt into the chamber as she pumps it backwards, thus closing the Bolt Gun's chamber.]]

==Futuristic Pipe Bomb==
In a flashback to the ''Anesidora'' crew's journey to LV-426, Marlow (the player character for this section) uses what appears to be a remotely detonated and futuristic pipe bomb to clear a pile of rocks obstructing the path of his crewmates.
[[Image:AI-pipebomb.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Marlow attaches the pipe bomb to a rock in preparation for detonation. As in most video games, some sort of invisible sci-fi force allows the placement of explosives on almost any surface, regardless of gravity and whether or not the surface is flat and/or smooth enough.]]
[[Image:AI-pipebombb.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Marlow holds the detonator right before clearing the rocks for his fellow crewmen.]]

==Heckler & Koch MP5==
Only briefly seen in "Tears", the Nerv HazMat team appear to be armed with [[Heckler & Koch MP5A3]]s. Concept art shows that the MP5 was also considered as a possible weapon for the JSSDF soldiers.

=Machine Guns=

==Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1==
[[Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30|Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-30-1]] machine guns are seen mounted on United Nations Air Force Sukhoi Su-33 Flanker-Ds in "Asuka Strikes".

==Sumitomo M2==
United Nations Army Type 74 MBTs are armed with the [[Browning M2|Sumitomo M2]], the licensed-made version of the Browning M2 as the secondary weapon.

[[Image:BrowningM2_plain.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Browning M2HB (.50 BMG). The Sumitomo M2HB is a license-made version of the Browning M2HB for Japanese use only.]]

=Evangelion Weapons=
The Evangelions (or simply Evas), the massive humanoid constructs around which much of the story's plot centers, use a variety of weapons; while some are fictional, many are based off of real-world firearms (albeit visually modified, and scaled up to fit the Evas' massive size).

===Steyr ACR===
The most prominently-featured weapon used by the Evas is a scaled-up [[Steyr ACR]], referred to for unclear reasons as a "Pallet Rifle". It is never shown being reloaded (the Evas simply dropping them when they run out of ammunition), nor is it ever shown ejecting spent casings (implying that, unlike the real ACR, the Pallet Rifles use caseless ammunition of some form); it apparently fires explosive shells, and is shown as being more or less useless in every one of its appearances barring "In the Still Darkness". Concept art claims it to be a railgun firing depeleted uranium shells.
[[File:Steyracr.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Steyr ACR - 5.56x45mm SCF]]
[[File:NGEACR1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shinji training with Unit-01 and its Pallet Rifle, as seen in "The Silent Phone"; it appears to have iron sights instead of the real rifle's integrated optic, though why it'd have either when the Evas apparently have built-in targeting systems is unclear.]]
[[File:NGEACR2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 fires the ACR.]]
[[File:NGEACR3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Or rather, it doesn't, since this is a training simulation; instead, this is apparently a laser-based training device.]]
[[File:NGEACR4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In the fight against Samshel in the same episode, Unit-01's real Pallet Rifle gets cut in two, along with the building next to it, by the Angel's strange laser-whip-things. Note the odd disc in the stock and the redesigned magazine.]]
[[File:NGEACR5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Pallet Rifle appears in one of NERV's many pop-up elevator boxes; the text at the bottom-right is a countdown timer, since a large portion of the final fight in "Mind, Matching, Moment" is focused around timing and synchronization.]]
[[File:NGEACR6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The elevator extends its Pallet Rifle out, giving a clear view of the markings; despite being presumably made in Japan (and intended for use there either way), the markings on these are all in English.]]
[[File:NGEACR7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close-up of the weapon's muzzle as it fires; unlike a normal ACR, the cuts on the Pallet Rifle's flash hider are dispersed in all directions, for reasons that are made clear further down the page.]]
[[File:NGEACR8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 and -02 jump away from their barrier, just before Israfel slices it to pieces; for some reason, the rifle is drawn much smaller than normal here. Unit-02 is seen with a completely fictitious weapon, purportedly some sort of positron-beam rifle (different from the one below); here, however, it's shown functioning similarly to the Pallet Rifle.]]
[[File:NGEACR9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 grabs a rifle tossed up to it by Unit-00; "In the Still Darkness" contains some of the most detailed and prominent shots of the Pallet Rifle. Fitting for the only episode where it's actually used to any worthwhile effect. And for an episode whose primary conflict is that practically nothing in the facility is working.]]
[[File:NGEACR10.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 raises the Pallet Rifle...]]
[[File:NGEACR11.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and opens fire. Here, the reason for the odd flash hider design is made apparent; the four equidistant holes give the rifle a distinct cross-shaped muzzle flash, in keeping with the series' apparent obsession with crosses.]]

===PTRS-41===
A major plot device of "Showdown in Tokyo-3" is the "Positron Rifle", a prototype energy weapon under development by the JSSDF; it is "requisitioned" by Nerv and rebuilt for Eva use, with the resultant weapon seemingly based on the [[PTRS-41]] anti-tank rifle. Notably, it features a series of cables attached to it (most prominently to a large block where the PTRS's magazine would be); these are plugged into the weapon's power source, which consists of the ''entire Japanese national grid.'' The weapon is also used in Episode 22, albeit to considerably lesser effect, and apparently without its national-blackout requirement.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|400px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]
[[File:NGEPTRS1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The initial establishing shot of the Positron Rifle, as seen from above; note the distinctive muzzle brake and offset front sight (though what an energy weapon with a computerized optical sighting system needs either of those things for is unclear).]]
[[File:NGEPTRS2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Being as long as it is, the Positron Rifle rarely fits on screen; as such, the only good full-profile shots of it to be had are stitched-together images like this one. While it may appear to be bent, this is simply a result of the shifting perspective of such a shot.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 racks the weapon's charging handle, immediately after an order is given to "clear the chamber".]]
[[File:NGEPTRS4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|It's not clear whether or not these two events are linked, since the actual apparent purpose of doing this is to load in one of the rifle's massive fuse units. These are presumably impossible to fire the rifle without, given that the pop-up "DANGER" indicator behind the "bolt" only pops up once one is chambered.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another stitched image; apparently, much of the rifle is purple. Also note the large tube above the barrel labeled "FX-1"; on the original PTRS, this is a gas tube. It's not entirely clear how this tube manages to stay straight, seeing as it's only attached to the rifle's receiver and another power cable.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Positron Rifle fires in two stages; first, the large, eight-holed block attached to the right side of the receiver is hit with eight white beams.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Then, the rifle actually fires, with enough muzzle blast to push all the nearby trees around.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A shot of the rifle's muzzle brake, right as an attack from Ramiel lands behind Unit-01; note how the front sight now extends straight up instead of at an angle.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 readies another shot; note that the wires in the old fuse unit (the one being ejected) are severed.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS10.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Positron Rifle's targeting system; despite all the importance given to correcting for variation by Dr. Akagi, the only thing the pilot apparently has to do is wait for the two symbols to align in the center.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS11.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Once they do so, the reticle changes into this.]]
[[File:NGEPTRS12.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A good view of the muzzle brake as Unit-01 fires its second shot; note that only two of the brake's several ports are actually used.]]

===IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX===
In "The sickness unto death, and then..."e, Shinji's Eva Unit-01 is seen using a handgun which appears to be a scaled-up, but otherwise completely unaltered [[IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX]], right down to the rather baffling inclusion of the scope mounting rails; it is used to little effect against the episode's Angel, and is never seen again (presumably having been lost in the Dirac Sea said Angel created).
[[File:Desert-Eagle.jpeg|thumb|none|400px|IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE]]

[[File:NGEDE2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 raises its weapon; despite being designed explicitly for combat, the Evas apparently don't practice proper trigger discipline.]]
[[File:NGEDE3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-01 aims its Desert Eagle around the building's corner, showing its massive bore (bigger proportionally than even the .50 AE version's)...]]
[[File:NGEDE4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and fires at Leliel. This is the only instance where an Eva's weapon is seen ejecting casings.]]
[[File:NGEDE5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Upon seeing his target disappear and the ground turn into the Dirac Sea, Shinji/Unit-01 does what any rational person would:]]

[[File:NGEDE8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The clearest shots of the weapon are also the last, occurring just as Unit-01 sinks into Leliel's Dirac Sea; note that it has a hole in its hammer, for whatever reason.]]
[[File:NGEDE9.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Desert Eagle sinks into the Dirac Sea, and is never seen again.]]

===Accuracy International Arctic Warfare===
Rei's Eva Unit-00 is seen on two occasions ("The sickness unto death, and then..." and "Tears") with a sniper rifle based on the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]]; alongside alterations to the profile of the stock, the most prominent difference between the real rifle and the Eva version is that the latter is semi-automatic.
[[File:Accuracy International Arctic Warfare - Psg 90.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Accuracy International Arctic Warfare - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:NGEAW1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A stitched shot of the rifle, showing its atypical stock design and complete lack of a bolt handle. Note the wire leading from the scope; this is connected to Unit-00's helmet, indicating that it interfaces with the onboard targeting system in some way.]]
[[File:NGEAW2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the rifle in profile, as Unit-00 lines up a shot on Leliel's "shadow"; note that the connecting wire is now absent.]]
[[File:NGEAW3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-00 opens fire; despite the evidently massive amount of energy involved in this, multiple successive shots somehow fail to damage the building that the rifle's bipod is mounted on.]]
[[File:NGEAW4.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-00 with its rifle in "Tears"; this appears to be largely re-used from the initial shot in "The sickness unto death, and then..." (the first one in this section), but with a different background - the last few episodes of ''NGE'' were notoriously short on time, so lots of assets were recycled (most famously in the last two episodes).]]
[[File:NGEAW5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A wider shot of the rifle as Armisrael attacks Unit-00; note how it now has a bolt handle and substantially longer scope, and lacks a muzzle brake.]]
[[File:NGEAW6.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unit-00 grapples with Armisrael...]]
[[File:NGEAW7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and fires several rounds into it point-blank. Like most other guns used by the Evas, this somehow does absolutely nothing.]]
[[File:NGEAW8.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close-up of the rifle's apparently-functionless bolt handle as Armisrael proceeds with its deeply disturbing attack.]]

===Repeating Rocket Launcher===
Asuka's Eva Unit-02 is seen with a magazine-fed repeating rocket launcher on two occasions ("Life and Death Decisions" and "A Man's Battle"); while fictional, it bears a passing resemblance to the [[M18 Recoilless Rifle]]. In the former, she doesn't ever fire the weapon, while in the latter she ''dual-wields them''; for entirely unclear reasons, this does practically nothing to her target.

==Glock 17==
The [[Glock 17]] is seen widely within NERV, likely as a standard sidearm for NERV security forces.

==Heckler & Koch USP==
NERV officer Major Misato Katsuragi uses a [[Heckler & Koch USP]] as her personal sidearm in both the series and film. In the series it is chambered in .40 S&W, but concept art for the film shows it as being chambered in .45 ACP.

==Inglis Hi-Power==
The [[Inglis Hi-Power]] is the standard-issue sidearm used by the JSSDF. It can be identified as such by its distinctive rear sight.

=Submachine Guns=
==Hybrid Submachine Gun==
According to Evangelion Chronicle #22, Aoba's personal submachine gun is a hybrid consisting of parts from a [[Steyr MPi 69]] and the Russian [[AEK-919K Kashtan]]. While normally only NERV guards are armed with submachine guns and normal technicians and computer operators are only armed with Glock 17s, command center computer operator Lt. Aoba either manages to get his hands on one or kept one stored in his desk for just such an eventuality.

==IMI Uzi==
NERV security forces use the [[IMI Uzi]] as their standard-issue weapon.

=Rifles=
==Heckler & Koch G11==
The [[Heckler & Koch G11]] is the standard weapon of JSSDF commandos when given the order to raid Tokyo-3. The G11's caseless ammunition is accurately depicted, as the JSSDF's G11s never eject casings (as opposed to their Hi-Powers, which do); its reciprocating magazine, on the other hand, is not.

==MAS NF-1==
The [[MAS AA-52|MAS NF-1]], which is a variant of the AA-52 machine gun mounted on French-made military vehicles, is seen mounted in a co-axial position on JSSDF AMX-10RCs as they lay a bombardment on Nerv HQ in the beginning of the movie.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision. It was released on November 5th, 2021 for Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

[[File:M1917Trench.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mauser M1917 Trench Carbine with 40-round magazine - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.
[[File:Sten.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk II - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.
[[Image:Volkssturmgewehr1-5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr MP507 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]
[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the "Whitley". It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]
[[File:Codvg-marlin-gunsmith.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The base Marlin M1897 in the Gunsmith.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.

[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.
[[File:69grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|No. 69 Mk. 1 High-Explosive hand grenade.]]

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".
[[Image:Panzerfaust.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Panzerfaust 60 - 44mm with 149mm warhead]]

=Others=
==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.
[[File:MP40Side.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MP40 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:CODVanguard PromoArt MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP40 held in first-person, as seen in the promotional art.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

[[File: VanguardMP41(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the MP41.]]

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

[[File:CoDVanguard-PPShK-K50M1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:Codfrontline1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The custom Sten on the bottom, painted with German helmet "Normandy" chicken wire style camouflage. Note the similarity with the "Rooted II" variant from ''Call of Duty: WWII''.]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the "Whitley". It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]
[[File:Codvg-marlin-gunsmith.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The base Marlin M1897 in the Gunsmith.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.

[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.

==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Panzerschreck==
The [[Panzerschreck]] appears in the game. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

[[File: VanguardGewehr43propermagazine2021.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|In game model of the G43, fitted with a proper 10 round magazine.]]

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the "Whitley". It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]
[[File:Codvg-marlin-gunsmith.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The base Marlin M1897 in the Gunsmith.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.
[[File:Kgm40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kulsprutegevär m/1940 - 6.5×55mm Swedish]]
[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

Unlike previous Call of Duty games, rear iron sight notches can be switched out and changed in the Gunsmith. The WWI-style of sights is an unlock.]]

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

===Type 91===
Removing the stock turns the Type 11 into a Type 91, vehicle-mounted version.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.
[[File:69grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|No. 69 Mk. 1 High-Explosive hand grenade.]]

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.

[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

[[Image:Codfrontline1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The custom Sten on the bottom, painted with German helmet "Normandy" chicken wire style camouflage. Note the similarity with the "Rooted II" variant from ''Call of Duty: WWII''.]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.
[[Image:Volkssturmgewehr1-5.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr MP507 - 7.92x33mm Kurz]]
[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.

[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

===Type 91===
Removing the stock turns the Type 11 into a Type 91, vehicle-mounted version.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

[[File:Vanguard Mk V.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Mk. V in the grenade selection menu; note how it is incorrectly shown as impact-detonated and features a small metal square on the body that serves no obvious purpose.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.
[[File:69grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|No. 69 Mk. 1 High-Explosive hand grenade.]]

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

[[File:CoDVanguard-RPGAT1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]
[[File:VanguardFlamethrowerLewis1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lewis Howard lights up a Japanese position with his M2.]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.
[[File:2 inch Smoke Mortar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I (UK) / 2 inch Mortar M3 (US) - 50.8mm smoke bomb]]

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".
[[Image:Panzerfaust.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Panzerfaust 60 - 44mm with 149mm warhead]]

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

==Type 96 light machine gun==
The [[Type 96 light machine gun|Type 96 LMG]] is briefly seen during the ending cutscene of the Bougainville mission. Despite this, it does not actually appear during gameplay; the mounted machine guns are for whatever reason [[MG42]]s.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:CODVanguard PromoArt MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP40 held in first-person, as seen in the promotional art.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

[[File: VanguardMP41(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the MP41.]]

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

While the third-person animations are very high quality, with features like the bolt dropping when shooting being depicted, the bolt assembly will magically hover when reloading. This could be an error due to the reload animation possibly being reused from the Kar98k in MW2019, and thus the position of the rifle body being in a slightly wrong location from the bolt and hands models.]]

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

[[File:Vanguardas44stalingradnormal1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Initial equip animation with a standard AS-44 gives a good view of the right side of the gun.]]

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.
[[File:Kgm40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kulsprutegevär m/1940 - 6.5×55mm Swedish]]
[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

[[File:VanguardFlamethrowerLewis1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lewis Howard lights up a Japanese position with his M2.]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Panzerschreck==
The [[Panzerschreck]] appears in the game. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

=Others=
==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.
[[Image:British-No1-MkV-Flare.jpg|thumb|none|300px|No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol - 1 inch]]

A German Stuka dive bomber in the trailer can be seen with two 3.7 cm ''Bordkanonen''. In the final level, gun pods not yet mounted on planes can be seen in the airbase.

The Type VII U-boat at the end of the mission "Phoenix" has a mounted 3.7-cm-FlaK 43 AA-gun.

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

[[File: VanguardGewehr43propermagazine2021.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|In game model of the G43, fitted with a proper 10 round magazine.]]

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope. Oddly, despite being explicitly referred to as the "SVT-40 PU" scope (even when mounted to other weapons), the scope is mounted using a Mosin-Nagant scope mount instead of the one meant for the SVT-40.]]

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.
[[File:Kgm40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kulsprutegevär m/1940 - 6.5×55mm Swedish]]
[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

Unlike previous Call of Duty games, rear iron sight notches can be switched out and changed in the Gunsmith. The WWI-style of sights is an unlock.]]

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

[[File:CodVanguard-MG42-RHBarrel2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

===Type 91===
Removing the stock turns the Type 11 into a Type 91, vehicle-mounted version.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

[[File:CoDVanguard-PPShK-K50M1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.
[[File:Sten.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk II - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The game is unclear on what the Hyde's caliber is; by default the HUD claims it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, but it also says this when using the magazine attachments that rechamber it in 9mm and .45 ACP - with the ".30 Carbine" attachment (the Hyde's actual caliber, and which the game claims as being larger than the default) the HUD claims it is chambered in 7.92x57mm. All the magazines are sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings that don't match any of these.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

===Type 91===
Removing the stock turns the Type 11 into a Type 91, vehicle-mounted version.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

[[File:Vanguard Mk V.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Mk. V in the grenade selection menu; note how it is incorrectly shown as impact-detonated and features a small metal square on the body that serves no obvious purpose.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

[[File:CoDVanguard-RPGAT1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]
[[File:VanguardFlamethrowerLewis1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lewis Howard lights up a Japanese position with his M2.]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.
[[File:2 inch Smoke Mortar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I (UK) / 2 inch Mortar M3 (US) - 50.8mm smoke bomb]]

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

==Type 96 light machine gun==
The [[Type 96 light machine gun|Type 96 LMG]] is briefly seen during the ending cutscene of the Bougainville mission. Despite this, it does not actually appear during gameplay; the mounted machine guns are for whatever reason [[MG42]]s.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:CODVanguard PromoArt MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP40 held in first-person, as seen in the promotional art.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

[[File: VanguardMP41(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the MP41.]]

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game seems somewhat confused as to what the Hyde is actually chambered in; the two .30 Carbine magazine options (a 45-round quad-stacked magazine, and a 20-rounder wrapped up in canvas) are listed as containing "larger caliber" rounds, while the 60-round 9mm drum is listed as using a smaller caliber, and only the 25-round .45 ACP magazine's caliber isn't discussed; however, the magazines are all sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings (for the first half of the magazine only, similar to the Volkssturmgewehr) that don't match any of these. The HUD claims that it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, though this is neither contextually nor visually appropriate (nor does it necessarily line up with the magazine option chosen); the fact that its Warzone incarnation is supposedly chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser doesn't help in this regard.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Marlin M1917==
The Marlin M1917 was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.
[[File:Kgm40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kulsprutegevär m/1940 - 6.5×55mm Swedish]]
[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

[[File:VanguardFlamethrowerLewis1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lewis Howard lights up a Japanese position with his M2.]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.
[[File:2 inch Smoke Mortar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I (UK) / 2 inch Mortar M3 (US) - 50.8mm smoke bomb]]

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

[[File:Codvg-panzerfaust-gunsmith.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Panzerfaust in Gunsmith.]]

==Panzerschreck==
The [[Panzerschreck]] appears in the game. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

=Others=
==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.
[[Image:British-No1-MkV-Flare.jpg|thumb|none|300px|No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol - 1 inch]]

The lack of dive brakes indicates that this is a Ju 87G-1 variant; these variants of the Stuka would only see production at some point after January 1943, making it anachronistic to the Stalingrad setting as depicted in the gameplay reveal.]]
[[File:CoDVanguard-Bordkanone1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==3.7 cm-FlaK 43==
The Type VII U-boat at the end of the mission "Phoenix" has a mounted 3.7-cm-FlaK 43 AA-gun.
[[File:CoDVanguard-UFlak1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

[[Image:Codfrontline1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The custom Sten on the bottom, painted with German helmet "Normandy" chicken wire style camouflage. Note the similarity with the "Rooted II" variant from ''Call of Duty: WWII''.]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game seems somewhat confused as to what the Hyde is actually chambered in; the two .30 Carbine magazine options (a 45-round quad-stacked magazine, and a 20-rounder wrapped up in canvas) are listed as containing "larger caliber" rounds, while the 60-round 9mm drum is listed as using a smaller caliber, and only the 25-round .45 ACP magazine's caliber isn't discussed; however, the magazines are all sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings (for the first half of the magazine only, similar to the Volkssturmgewehr) that don't match any of these. The HUD claims that it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, though this is neither contextually nor visually appropriate (nor does it necessarily line up with the magazine option chosen); the fact that its Warzone incarnation is supposedly chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser doesn't help in this regard.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope. Oddly, despite being explicitly referred to as the "SVT-40 PU" scope (even when mounted to other weapons), the scope is mounted using a Mosin-Nagant scope mount instead of the one meant for the SVT-40.]]

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Colt-Browning M1895==
The [[Colt 1895 Automatic Machine Gun]] was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Coltbrowningm1895.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt-Browning M1895 - .30-06 Springfield]]
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==Kg m/40 Automatic Rifle==
The [[Kg m/40 automatic rifle]] was added in Season Two, classed as an assault rifle.
[[File:Kgm40.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Kulsprutegevär m/1940 - 6.5×55mm Swedish]]
[[File:Codkgm40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Kg m/40.]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==Armaguerra OG-43==
The [[Armaguerra OG-43]] is seen wielded by the new operator Gustavo de Santos in the Season 2 trailer, and will be available as a mid-season weapon like the Welgun.
[[File:Og43.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Armaguerra OG-43 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:Codvanog43.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Image of the in-game OG-43.]]

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.
[[File:Sten.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk II - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game seems somewhat confused as to what the Hyde is actually chambered in; the two .30 Carbine magazine options (a 45-round quad-stacked magazine, and a 20-rounder wrapped up in canvas) are listed as containing "larger caliber" rounds, while the 60-round 9mm drum is listed as using a smaller caliber, and only the 25-round .45 ACP magazine's caliber isn't discussed; however, the magazines are all sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings (for the first half of the magazine only, similar to the Volkssturmgewehr) that don't match any of these. The HUD claims that it uses 7.92x33mm Kurz, though this is neither contextually nor visually appropriate (nor does it necessarily line up with the magazine option chosen); the fact that its Warzone incarnation is supposedly chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser doesn't help in this regard.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Colt-Browning M1895==
The [[Colt 1895 Automatic Machine Gun]] was added in Season 2 as a fictional handheld version known as the "Whitley".
[[File:Coltbrowningm1895.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt-Browning M1895 - .30-06 Springfield]]
[[File:Codwhitley1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Promotional image of the Whitley. It has a side grip to help stabilize the weapon and feeds from a smaller belt-box or drum.]]

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire as opposed to the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from ''Modern Warfare'' (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==Mk 2 Grenade==
American [[Mk 2 hand grenade]]s are used by US forces during the campaign. It is also the standard grenade in multiplayer.

[[File:Vanguard Mk V.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Mk. V in the grenade selection menu; note how it is incorrectly shown as impact-detonated and features a small metal square on the body that serves no obvious purpose.]]

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.
[[File:69grenade.jpg|thumb|none|200px|No. 69 Mk. 1 High-Explosive hand grenade.]]

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

==RGD-33 stick grenade==
Some [[RGD-33 stick grenade]] are also seen carried by Soviet soldiers in the campaign. They are also part of Polina's multiplayer outfits.

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1. It is erroneously shown with a stamped wire charging handle on the right side of the bolt; the real weapon lacked a charging handle (to make construction simpler, and reduce the weapon's width), the user instead simply grabbing the bolt itself and racking it somewhat like a pistol slide (hence why the bolt is serrated and exposed on both sides of the receiver). The magazine well's markings also appear to come from the [[M3 Grease Gun]], reading "SUB-MACH.GUN" and "CAL .4'''6''' M3"; one of the magazine options (a 48-rounder in 7.62x25mm Tokarev) even appears to be an M3's magazine. The other options include two .45 ACP magazines (a 20-rounder that appears to be an [[M1 Carbine]] magazine, which is both too small for 20 rounds of .45 and too long front-to-back to actually fit in the magazine well - bizarrely, this length appears to be filled completely with some sort of spitzer-pointed rifle cartridge that definitely isn't .45 ACP, and a 48-rounder that has an oversized ''Trommelmagazin 08'' attached to a long feed tower, with an inexplicable backwards slant), and a 64-round 9mm magazine (similar to the .45 drum, but with two drums joined together similarly to an [[MG15]] drum). It also fires considerably faster in-game than in reality, with the real weapon clocking in at about 500 RPM.

Bizarrely, several of the weapon's attachments come from different submachine guns entirely (and anachronistic ones at that); the "120mm Gawain Short" barrel and "SA 43 Folding"/"SA 43M Pack" stocks appear to be taken from the [[Carl Gustav M/45]], while the "Gawain Skeletal" stock and "320mm SA Shrouded" and "300mm Wilkie Custom" barrels are from production Sterling variants (the former barrel being from a [[Sterling L2A3]], and the latter being a slightly shorter version of an [[Sterling#Sterling Mk.5 / L34A1|L34A1]]'s).

[[File:VanguardWelgun1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stock Welgun]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

[[File:Vanguard Volkssturmgewehr (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|A preview of the Volkssturmgewehr in the beta.]]

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine". The game seems somewhat confused as to what the Hyde is actually chambered in; the two .30 Carbine magazine options (a 45-round quad-stacked magazine, and a 20-rounder wrapped up in canvas) are listed as containing "larger caliber" rounds, while the 60-round 9mm drum is listed as using a smaller caliber, and only the 25-round .45 ACP magazine's caliber isn't discussed; however, the magazines are all sized (front-to-back, at least) for .30 Carbine, and the weapon ejects bottlenecked rifle casings (for the first half of the magazine only, similar to the Volkssturmgewehr) that don't match any of these. The fact that its Warzone incarnation is supposedly chambered in 7.92x57mm Mauser doesn't help in this regard.

The "22" Cooper Custom" barrel appears to be taken from an [[M1 Carbine]], handguard and all; it is also mirrored, since the M1's now-functionless stub of an operating rod is on the left side. The "Cooper 45RS" and "Cooper Custom Padded" stocks are anachronistic wooden [[Heckler & Koch G3]] stocks, while the "Cooper 45W" stock is from a Mark 2 [[Bren]] (also mirrored, since what's left of the Bren's charging handle guide and sling swivel are on the left side); the "Ragdoll G45 Skeletal" and "Removed Stock" options are also of note, since (aside from the former being a literal aluminum crutch) they're mechanically impossible, due to the Hyde's recoil spring being inside the stock. Foregrips are also notably mounted on a large sheet-metal bracket attached to the front of the magazine well, rather than the handguard, seemingly so that their position will remain constant regardless of which barrel option is used.

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default (historically, PTRS rifles were rarely fitted with scopes, and only as a field-expedient modification for spotting, not as an actual means of aiming), and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', alongside some fictional embellishments (a large cap fitted over the bottom of the magazine, and some seemingly-random pieces of sheet metal attached to the side of the trigger group and magazine, seemingly to "spruce up" the weapon's relatively flat left side). When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, which would render most of them pointless since most of the propellant gases would escape out the sides of the brake before reaching the attachment (not to mention that the PTRS's extreme muzzle blast would likely destroy most of the small brakes and suppressors that can be fitted to it in-game anyway). Needless to say, this doesn't stop the suppressors from reducing its report to a kitten's sneeze in-game.

Strangely, none of the barrel attachments bring it up to its correct length; in fact, all of its optional barrels are either substantially shorter or roughly the same length, with the longest (the "420mm Empress", which features a [[Lahti L-39]]-esque barrel shroud) only being a smidge longer than the default option. The shortest option, the "240mm ZAC Rapid", also notably features a large, round shroud seemingly referenced from some sort of integral suppressor; it doesn't actually suppress gunfire, however (instead increasing handling and fire rate at the cost of accuracy and... handling), with the weapon's "stealth" option (which reduces muzzle flash and eliminates the pop-up skull icons that killed enemies' teammates would otherwise see) being the "400mm Kovalevskaya Wrap" barrel, quite literally just a shorter version of the default barrel wrapped in cloth. Among its several fictional stock options are the "ZAC Adjustable" (a [[Degtyaryov DT]] stock, with the adjustment notches rather inadvisably placed on the top for optimum face-sawing), and the "Anastasia Type 3B Stoyat" (seemingly taken from a Mark 1 [[Boys anti-tank rifle]]). The three fictional magazine options are all supposedly in "13mm AM" (which, judging by some of the other attachment descriptions, is apparently 13.2x92mm TuF); these are 7- and 10-round magazines (simply the base magazine elongated, with correspondingly larger en-bloc clips), and a 3-round detachable magazine somehow shoved straight through the standard one, with nothing but a new magazine cover to account for completely different feed system.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire rather than the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==No. 77 Mk. II Grenade==
The [[No. 77 Smoke Grenade]] MkII was added with Season One as the "Incendiary Grenade".
[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War''''' is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the sixth game in the ''Black Ops'' series and the seventeenth in the ''Call of Duty'' series. It is also a direct sequel to ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops]]''. Like previous games in the series, it is composed of three main modes of play, a single-player campaign, a player-vs-player multiplayer mode, and a 1-4 player cooperative zombies mode. The campaign's setting takes place primarily in 1981 with several flashbacks dating to 1968 during the Vietnam War, and the zombies and multiplayer mode take place simultaneously in 1984, hence, certain weapons are available in these modes that aren't present in the campaign because of the time difference. The player character is a new, customizable operative codenamed "Bell", who is part of a CIA task force, including Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson, out to stop a Soviet agent codenamed "Perseus" (based on the real-life conspiracy) from carrying out a decades-long plan that could radically alter the balance of power of the Cold War.

__TOC__ 

=Overview=
''Black Ops Cold War'' maintains several weapon features from the 2019 ''Modern Warfare'', including Gunsmith and the ability to reload while aiming down sights.

The game features an extensive swimming and underwater mechanic which inaccurately depicts weapons as being able to be fired underwater, something which would lead to malfunctions and possible complete weapon failures (i.e. exploded barrels) in reality, not to mention projectiles can't travel more than a few feet in such environment. Also, bullet velocities for most of the weapon are much slower in-game than in real life, and some weapons unrealistically share the same velocities despite their different calibers and designs.

While Gunsmith offers a wide variety of attachments to equip, it lacks several features from ''Modern Warfare''. It also features some ''staggeringly'' poor attachment descriptions filled with inaccuracies and misused terms. For example, STANAG is used as a catch-all term for extended magazines, despite the real usage being almost the exact opposite of such an idea.

Weapons from ''Black Ops Cold War'' also make appearances in ''Call of Duty: Warzone'', a standalone battle royale game mode originally released for (and developed on) ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)]]''. While most weapons are identical between BOCW and ''Warzone'', a number of weapons, especially the ones added post-release, have more detailed animations in ''Warzone''. More rarely, some BOCW weapons have different weapon models when implemented in ''Warzone''.

=Handguns=
==Beretta 93R==
The [[Beretta 93R]] appears under the name "Diamatti". It holds 15 rounds by default, despite having a visibly extended magazine. It also has a slightly shorter barrel by default; the “7.2" Reinforced Heavy” barrel attachment gives it a more correct barrel length, though this one is shown as fluted. Soviet forces use it in the campaign (which is incorrect), along with Alex Mason in "Echoes of a Cold War".

==Colt M1911A1==
The [[Colt M1911A1]] is featured in the game, simply referred to as "1911" and featuring a nickel finish similar to the multiplayer 1911 weapon model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]''. In the campaign, it is the main sidearm of almost everyone, including the Soviet and North Vietnamese forces, who would much more likely use the [[Makarov PM]] or [[Tokarev TT-33]] as their sidearms. It incorrectly holds 8 rounds in a standard 7-round magazine.
In alpha, beta, and pre-release materials, the M1911 appears with a parkerized finish and brown grips. The "Wingman" skin from the "Air Sea Land Pack" for the Ultimate Edition is also an M1911A1, featuring a paint-job similar to that of the P-51 Mustang fighters during WWII. The M1911A1 is also used in the Overpower finishing move.

==Desert Eagle==
An anachronistic and visually altered [[Desert Eagle]] fitted with a Laser Products Corporation LPC Model 7 laser sight and an enormous muzzle brake appears as the "Hand Cannon" in the campaign mission "Desperate Measures". Inspiration for the weapon appears to come from the laser sighted [[AMT Hardballer]] from ''[[The Terminator]]''. Perhaps taking its moniker a little too literally, it fires explosive rounds. The campaign version feeds from an 8-round magazine (which could or could not be correct, its caliber never being stated) and cannot be reloaded; once all eight rounds have been fired, it is discarded.

It was added as the "Hand Cannon" streak in Season 4, with 10 extremely powerful explosive rounds that can take out any streak you can shoot in one to four shots. It is the primary weapon of choice for the "One in the Chamber" gamemode. Its scorestreak icon shows an even more anachronistic picatinny railed Mark XIX than the Mark VII it is based on. The laser is now green, and aiming uses ironsights mounted on top of the laser. Its role is similar to the "Annihilator" revolver from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III|BO3]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]'', even reusing the sounds from those games for the "Annihilator".

[[File:BOCWDeagle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds the Hand Cannon as he awaits enemy forces about to barge into the room. Here the laser sight can be seen more clearly.]]

==Glock 18C==
Three unusable [[Glock 18C]] pistols can be seen hanging on a wall on the multiplayer map "Checkmate". Their appearance is anachronistic as the map takes place in January 1985, while the Glock 18 was produced in 1986 - the 3rd Generation variants were introduced after 1998. A Glock pistol is also seen in the "Grizzled Veteran Master" calling card.
[[File:Glock 18C.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. This model has compensator cuts on the slide and barrel to reduce muzzle climb while firing.]]
[[File:BOCW-Glock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The pistol in a highly unlikely place to be found, an East German training facility. Despite having the 18C's compensator cuts, the slide markings label it as a standard Glock 18.]]

=="Magnum"==
The "Magnum" is a fictional hybrid revolver that appears to have some influence from a variety of revolvers such as [[Smith & Wesson#Revolvers|Smith & Wesson]], [[Ruger#Revolvers|Ruger]], [[Arminius HW Revolver Series|Arminius]], Alfa, [[Astra#Revolvers|Astra]] and the [[Colt Trooper]]. The rear of the frame and the angle of the grip give it a strong resemblance to the G&G G733 airsoft revolver. The names of some of its muzzle attachments suggest that it is chambered in .45 ACP (misnamed ".45 APC"); this would contradict both the "Magnum" name, and its Warzone incarnation's stated chambering (.357 Magnum). Like other revolvers in previous ''Black Ops'' games, it is reloaded with single rounds by default, and still has the reload logic errors of the player character reloading only the rounds needed to refill the cylinder in gameplay despite the reload animation showing the entire cylinder being ejected.

The Magnum can also accept a suppressor, even though it almost certainly wouldn't work on the revolver in reality due to the gap between the cylinder, which would leak enough propellant gases to render the suppressor useless. The Magnum also has nonsensical 9-round and 12-round cylinders as attachment options; these cylinders are completely identical to the base cylinder dimensionally, with the amount of rounds held in them ''visibly'' remaining 6 rounds. They're only different in their shapes, being an unfluted cylinder and a [[Mateba]]-like hexagonal cylinder respectively. These cylinder options are also very incorrectly referred to as magazines in their attachment names.

The "Minted" blueprint gives the revolver a barrel that appears similar to the anachronistic [[Smith & Wesson Model 986]], while others give it a [[Dan Wesson]]-style heavy barrel.

[[File:Revolverpreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up look of the "Magnum" in Gunsmith, showing its many design inspirations - the sights come from Smith & Wesson revolvers, the cylinder, hammer, trigger & trigger guard from a Colt Python, the barrel seems to be a mix between that of a Python and a Colt Trooper (complete with a partial underlug rather awkwardly merged into a full one), and a Ruger-style recoil shield; the latter is supposed to have the cylinder release mounted on it, but the designer instead decided to put a conventional Astra-esque cylinder release behind it, forcing them to rather awkwardly stretch the frame forward to fit both.]]

==Makarov PM==
Two [[Makarov PM]]s appear on Helen Park's "Scorched", "Bad Blood", "Hellion", and "Commando" outfits, as well as on Samantha Maxis' "Dark Aether" outfit and Portnova's "Handler" outfit. Aleksandra Valentina also carries a holstered one in the Zombies mode cutscenes.

==Sedgley Fist Gun==

=="Strife"==
The fictional "Strife" pistol from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|Black Ops 4]]'' can be seen on a table in the side mission "Operation Red Circus". Unusable and completely anachronistic to the game's setting, the gun was likely originally used as a placeholder during the mapping process that went overlooked and wasn't removed.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] is used by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine.

=="Tranquilizer Gun"==
A hybrid of a [[Ruger Mk II]] and a [[Welrod]] mocked up to be a tranquilizer pistol is used by Bell in the campaign. The detachable magazine holds 8 rounds, and the animations are reused from the M1911 listed above. The bolt from the Welrod is used as a slide when it locks back on an empty magazine, however, the weapon does not eject casings of any kind, which begs the question of what the slide actually does. Some sort of air canister is seen under the barrel, and the weapon makes noises comparable to compressed air being released, which makes sense.

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
A [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] with a collapsible stock and a threaded barrel is available as the "MP5". It has an aftermarket and anachronistic Vector Arms MP5K style handstop handguard with perforations instead of a vertical foregrip by default. It uses an HK claw mount with an anachronistic rail when equipping optics. It can be customized into a number of MP5 variants as seen below, having a wide latitude of barrel and stock configurations akin to ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]''.

While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, the MP5K is used by US troops in Bell's Vietnam War flashbacks, which is both inaccurate and anachronistic (the MP5K was developed in 1976, and while the standard MP5 was first developed in 1966, it didn't see any form of service in Vietnam until 1975 as the MP5SD with the Green Berets). In this case (along with certain other weapons in the Vietnam missions), it can somewhat be excused by the fact that these are false flashbacks mixed with hallucinations.

All blueprint variants of the MP5 have the same lower receiver as those of ''Modern Warfare'' (being based on the receiver of a [[PTR 9KT]], which is incredibly anachronistic to ''Cold War''), with the triangular parts still facing the opposite direction compared to real S-E-F lowers.

===Heckler & Koch MP5A3===
The weapon has some barrel attachments that turn it into a full-sized [[MP5A3]]. The “9.5" Extended” barrel has an original slimline handguard, while the “9.5" Ranger” has a "tropical" wide handguard.

===Heckler & Koch MP5SD2===
Combining either of the sound suppressors with the “9.5" Ranger” barrel configurations produces a [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD]] configuration. The “9.5" Extended” and “9.5" Reinforced Heavy” barrels also create an MP5SD with an alternate style of round handguard.

==Intratec TEC-9 Hybrid==
A mildly fictionalized [[Intratec TEC-9]] was added with season five. It is depicted with the bolt assembly and charging handle of an [[Interdynamic KG-9]], although it is shown firing from a closed bolt like an actual TEC-9. It also has the front sight of a [[PPSh-41]] and the stock of an Interdynamic MP-9, though the latter can be removed with the "No Stock" attachment. When equipping grip attachments, it uses the base of the factory grip with the actual grip chopped off and replaced with the grip attachment of choice.

It fires in semi-auto by default, but there are attachments that convert it into full-auto (the fire rate of which appears to be slower than in real life) and an inaccurate burst fire mode. It incorrectly holds 21 and 24 rounds (in multiplayer and Warzone respectively) in the actual 32-round magazine, presumably to prevent a burst from having less than 3 rounds.

In terms of chronology, while the earlier MP-9/KG-9 was produced from 1981 (thus being borderline period appropriate for the 1981-1985 multiplayer maps), the TEC-9 has the post-1987 rear sight, rendering it anachronistic for the game.

Dual TEC-9s are used by Perseus operative Kitsune in the season five cinematic trailer. The weapon is also seen in the "Harbinger Of Doom" calling card.

=="KSP 45"==
The "KSP 45" is a fictional 3-round burst submachine gun. It is primarily based on the [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] with its boxy design, selector switch style, and similarly shaped rear sight, but takes other design cues from various Cold War-era submachine guns. It has an AR-like bolt release, a right-side charging handle, a vertical magazine well like the [[Walther MPL]], a [[Jatimatic]] like pistol grip, and an AK trigger guard with paddle magazine release. Notably, it also resembles the "MACHT 37" frankengun from ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]''. Its buttstock seems to combine the socket of a solid MP5 stock, the shape of one from Wieger StG-940 assault rifle, H&K G3 style sling attachment point and the foldability of the UMP stock; the "Tactical Stock" and "SAS Combat Stock" attachments swap this out for a [[PSG-1]]-style stock (without or with a cheek rest, respectively), while the "Wire Stock" attachment gives it a shortened Romanian [[Talk:Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops_Cold_War#AK_Wire_Stock|AK wire stock]] and the "Duster Stock" gives it the proper UMP stock. Curiously, the "42 Rnd" and "48 Rnd STANAG" magazine attachments, while referred to as drums, are actually shrunken-down HK21 machine gun belt boxes with feed towers instead of belt feed openings; the "42 Rnd Speed Mag" and "SALVO 48 Rnd Fast Mag" are [[Spectre M4]]-esque quad stack mags (of the exact same size, with the only difference being the latter's cloth shroud).

Although it isn't normally written in all caps, "Ksp" is the Swedish abbreviation for "machine gun" (short for ''Kulspruta''); however, the trademarks on the right side of the "KSP 45" identify it as a "Kühn & Schmidt MP-U" and state that it is of West German origin. There is also a "WARNING REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL" stamp above the fire selector, which is similar to the markings on nonmilitary UMPs and USCs.

It is also depicted as being used by a Vietcong guerilla in the "Brap Brap" calling card implying that it was used in Vietnam in the ''Black Ops'' universe, however, no H&K style weapons were used in the Vietnam War in reality.

==LAPA SM Modelo 3==
The [[LAPA SM Modelo 3]] was added during Season 6, under the name "LAPA" (an odd name, as LAPA is the manufacturer of the weapon). The SM Modelo 3 was a prototype weapon with only one example ever made rendering it virtually impossible to be used in any meaningful combat capacity.

=="LC10"==
The "LC10" is a fictional submachine gun that was added in Season 2. It appears to be based on the [[Walther MPK]], with stylistic elements from (of all things) an [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] sniper rifle ([http://%20https://youtu.be/0krEGBnWEag?t=903%20 the developers having stated that in-universe it was made by the same manufacturer as the game's Accuracy International-inspired "LW3 Tundra"]). Its Warzone incarnation was previously stated to be chambered in .45 ACP, but this was later changed to 9mm Parabellum. The muzzle brake and flash guard attachments still have the .45 caliber shown as part of their names (in which case it is mislabeled ".45 APC").

[[File:LC10inspect2 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the empty magazine.]]

==MAC-10==
The [[MAC-10]] was added in Season 1. It is depicted with a custom side cocking charging handle similar to low profile Uzi cocking levers and uses anachronistic front grip adapter and top rail when attaching grip and sight attachments respectively. The side is marked with "Cal .45 Auto", which is contradicted by the use of a 32-round default magazine, the number "9" as part of some muzzle attachments names, and the use of 9mm Parabellum ammunition in Warzone. The weapon fires correctly from an open bolt in ''Cold War'', but incorrectly from a closed bolt in ''Warzone''.

The "Quick Judgement" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==OTs-02 Kiparis==
The [[OTs-02 Kiparis]] was added in in the mid-season update for Season 4, under the name "OTs 9". It is technically anachronistic to the 80s time period of the game, as while it was designed in the seventies, it was first serially produced in 1991. It uses 20-round magazines by default, though 25, 30, 32 and 40 round magazines are available as attachments, with the 30 rounder being the only real option. The 30 and 40 rounders are regular magazine extensions, while the 25 and 32 rounders are curved "speed mags".

The Kiparis is one of the few weapons to have a distinctly different set of animations in ''Warzone'' compared to ''Cold War''.

==PM-63 RAK==
The [[PM-63 RAK]] was added during Season 3 as the "AMP63"; unlike its incarnation in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|BO1]]'', it is classified as a pistol. Also unlike that incarnation, it has a correct 15-round capacity by default (with 20-, 22-, and 25-round optional magazines available, the latter being the only real one), as well as a more correct rate of fire. To avoid making anything too correct, its foregrip and stock are now permanently folded, and it erroneously fires from a closed bolt. Additionally, its Warzone incarnation is incorrectly chambered in 9mm Parabellum (a feature of the PM-70 prototype) rather than 9x18mm Makarov.

The "Lawgiver" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==PP-19 Bizon-2==
An anachronistic and heavily stylized [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] (developed in the 1990s) appears under the name "Bullfrog". It is depicted with a ribbed dust cover resembling that of an [[AS Val]], and the rear sight relocated to the rear of the receiver, along many other cosmetic changes. The default helical magazine only holds 50 rounds instead of 64 or 53 like its real-world counterpart (in 9x18mm Makarov and 9x19mm Parabellum, respectively), and its front attachment point is below the front sight (like the earlier Bizon-1). It has a top-folding stock by default, but can be fitted with a side-folding stock similar to that of other Bizon variants, via the "Duster Stock" or the "KGB Skeletal Stock" attachment.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] was added in Season 3. It is carried by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine and inaccurately by Soviet troops in the Season 3 cutscene, which is set in 1984. It is also seen in the "Combat Hardened" achievement icon which is based on the "Stand to Death" statue in Volgograd.

By default, it holds 32 rounds; this is a characteristic of the MP41(r), a German 9x19mm conversion of the PPSh-41 from WWII, even though the in-game weapon is modeled with a standard PPSh-41's 35-round magazine. Interestingly, the "VDV 50 Round Fast Mag" attachment gives the weapon a straight magazine looking similar to that of the MP41(r). To confuse matters further, its muzzle attachments imply that it's chambered in .45 ACP (or rather, .45 "APC"), a feature of absolutely no version of the PPSh.

The weapon has a variety of rather strange barrel options - the "15.7" Task Force" barrel, as well as the "Loud Pipe" variant, have a front forend and heat shield styled after the [[SVT-40]] (a setup extremely similar to the "Thrive" and "Snake" variations from ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''); the "14.9" Rifled" barrel gives it an [[Erma EMP-35]]'s barrel shroud and the small wooden forend of a [[PPD-40]]; the "14.9" Ranger" barrel has what appears to be a [[Browning M1919]] barrel shroud with a [[Karabiner 98k]] front sight; the "14.9" Reinforced Heavy" barrel is taken from the [[K-50M]] (albeit also fitted with a Kar98k's front sight); the "12.7" Cavalry Lancer" barrel is seemingly inspired by the PPD-40's (albeit shorter, with larger vents and no handguard); and the "14.3" Extended" barrel is taken from the [[PPS-43]]. Stock options include the "Tactical Stock" (an [[MP28]]-style stock with a leather cheekrest), the "Spetznaz Stock" (a regular-looking stock with a cheekrest and two seemingly-random bolts driven directly through the receiver), and the "Marathon", "Duster", and "CQB" stocks (all sawn off, with the former having the original wooden side panels, the latter having K-50M-esque metal side panels, and the Duster having the metal side panels of the experimental folding-stocked PPSh-45; these panels are also used by the "Raider Stock", seemingly a grafted-on rifle stock).

The "Night Raid" blueprint (a promotional pre-order reward in BOCW for [[Call of Duty: Vanguard]]) is stylized after WWII planes like the P-40 Warhawk with the addition of a red dot sight stylized after WWII aircraft reflector gunsights like the Mk 20 Mod 4 sight.

==SOCIMI Type 821==
The [[SOCIMI Type 821]] appears in-game. It was referred to as the "Type 821" during the alpha, but the name was changed to "Milano 821" in the Beta (with Milano being Italian for Milan, the city where this gun was made). It has an anachronistic Masterpiece Arms side cocking charging handle instead of the proper top mounted one like the [[Uzi]] it was based on. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as it was designed in 1983 and produced in 1984 (the earlier Uzi would have been a better choice).

=Shotguns=
==Franchi SPAS-12==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] appears as the "Gallo SA12" (''gallo'' means "rooster" or "cock" in Italian). It is used in semi-automatic mode, and the stock is folded by default, but it can be modified with some unfolded stock options, as well as a fixed stock or no stock at all. Attaching optics will automatically unfold the stock as well. It is weirdly used by Soviet forces in the campaign, and also appears anachronistically in the false flashbacks to the Vietnam War.

In a rare bit of realism, the carrier latch button is depressed during reloads to allow the user to load shells (unless an optical attachment is used, in which case the player character will grasp the shotgun from the heat shield instead). When not aiming, the weapon will be upended during reloads (as previously seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2|Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered]]''), while the weapon will be held right-side up if reloading while aiming. However, the gun is never rechambered after an empty reload. It holds 7 shells, which is possible with 6 round tubes and a 7th shell in the chamber (or with an underloaded 8-round tube), but as this is never depicted, the tube length is fictional. The magazine tube itself looks more like a 5 or 6 shell tube rather than the 7 shells the weapon actually holds.

The extended 9 and 12 round tubes are modeled incorrectly; while the tube does get longer, it only grows by about 0.5 shells length each time to avoid a comically large magazine tube sticking out of the front of the shotgun.

==Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun==
A stylized [[Henry USA rifle series#Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun|Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun]] was added with Season 6 as the ".410 Ironhide". It is extremely anachronistic; not only were Henry lever action shotguns not produced until 2017, but the side loading gate version featured in-game was introduced in 2019. It is fitted with a Williams sight. Compared to the game's other shotguns, it is more precision-oriented, with the tightest spread, lowest fire rate, and worst hipfire spread (the weapon's barrel somehow spreading pellets differently based on how the user looks at it); somewhat bafflingly, it also does the most damage out of all the game's shotguns, despite firing the smallest shells by a substantial margin.

In a reverse of the SPAS-12's errors, the Henry .410 is ''always'' cocked after every reload in ''Cold War''’s multiplayer. However, this is corrected in Warzone, where it is only cocked when empty.

==Ithaca 37==
The [[Ithaca 37]] appears in-game as the "Hauer 77", likely a reference to [[Rutger Hauer]], the late star of the film ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]''. The weapon is pumped after every single reload (in both Cold War and Warzone).

A shortened version called the "Sucker Punch" is available as a skin via the "Air Sea Land" pack for the Ultimate Edition. The base weapon can also be shortened by equipping the “19.3" Hammer Forged” barrel and the "No Stock" attachment.

==Penn Arms Striker-12==
The [[Penn Arms Striker-12]] was added to the game during Season 1. It has the auto-ejection mechanism (and therefore the shell deflector) of late models, but lacks a rear drum advance lever like early models. The design is anachronistic, as the auto-ejection feature on Striker shotguns (developed in 1989) wasn't yet in existence during game's time period (when the company was called Sentinel Arms), and the original model wouldn't fit in the pre-1983 multiplayer maps either.

It is referred to as the "Streetsweeper", and incorrectly fires in fully-automatic mode. Unlike its counterpart from previous games, the winding key is correctly used to rotate the cylinder while reloading, although there is a missing step in which the player character is supposed to manually eject the last shell with the ejector rod.

==TP-82==
A stylized [[TP-82]] was added in season five as the "Marshal", an in-universe predecessor to ''BO3''’s [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III#"Marshal 16"|"Marshal 16"]]. It is used by Woods as a backup sidearm in the season five cinematic trailer. It is classed as a pistol instead of a shotgun.

The weapon lacks the 5.45mm barrel that the actual weapon has, meaning it functions as a regular double-barrel shotgun. Furthermore, it has been rechambered for 12 gauge instead of the 12.5x70mm shells it actually uses. Owing to its pistol classification, it can be dual-wielded. The weapon only has 6 attachments, which include two optics (mounted on an anachronistic Picatinny rail), a cut-down barrel, a longer barrel and dual-wield. The final attachment is "Dragon's Breath" shells, which do not set enemies on fire, instead they just have a flat damage increase and a cosmetic fire effect, but they are still countered by Flak Jacket.

The two hammers on the gun are not dynamically animated in BOCW, but are in ''Warzone''. In BOCW, the right hammer doesn't drop after firing the first shot (from the right barrel), and both hammers will only drop (simultaneously) after firing both shots; the ''Warzone'' animation correctly shows the right hammer dropping after the first shot. This also extends to the reload animations: the BOCW animation only shows the operator cocking both hammers when reloading both both barrels, while the ''Warzone'' animation has an additional animation showing the operator cocking the one dropped hammer when reloading a single barrel.

Markings on the weapon read "Manufactured in the USA" and "Marshal 82". In a nice bit of attention-to-detail, struck primers can be seen on the fired shells when reloading.

==Ak 5==
A stylized [[Ak 5]] is featured in the game as the "Krig 6" (''krig'' means "war" in Swedish). It anachronistically appears in the campaign's 1981 period and in the false flashbacks to Vietnam, as it was first produced in 1986 (the [[FN FNC]], from which the Ak 5 was derived, would have been a more appropriate choice for the 80s segments). It also uses an anachronistic upper rail when equipping optics. It is used inaccurately by the East German police and Soviet and American troops in the campaign, who would much more likely use the [[AKS-74|MPi-AKS-74N]] and [[M16]] respectively.

The "Tactical Stock" gives it a synthetic fixed [[FN FAL]] stock (similar to some FNC configurations), and the "Commando Assembly" stock is taken from a [[SIG SG 550]] series rifle.

==AK-47/AKM Hybrid==
An "[[AK-47]]" is featured in the game. During the alpha and beta stages, it was mostly modeled correctly after an AK-47, albeit with an [[AKM]]-style pistol grip and slant compensator. However, the model of the base gun was changed in the final game: now it also has an AKM's stamped receiver and ribbed top cover, while retaining the AK-47's gas block, gas tube, front sight block, handguard, and stock.

It can be fitted with an [[RPK]]-style barrel and stock via the “20" Liberator” barrel and the "Tactical Stock" respectively. Other notable Eastern Bloc customizations include a Romanian/East German style coat-hanger stock with the added cheek strut piece as the "Wire Stock". The "Foregrip" is a Romanian type wooden foregrip and the "Patrol Grip" is a Hungarian FEG-style foregrip. It uses a fictionalized Dragunov optics mount modified into a rail mount when equipping optics.

The AK can also take an extended 40-round steel magazine or a 50-round orange Bakelite resin mag.

Interestingly, a more conventional reload was used in the beta but was changed to the underhand method in the final game presumably due to the community's dissatisfaction with the game's reload animations compared to ''Modern Warfare''.]]

===AK-47===
Many blueprints, such as the "Iron Curtain" and "Soviet Standard", retain the AK-47's appearance seen in earlier builds of the game. Additionally, some unusable AK-47s can be seen in the CIA Safehouse.

The Season 1 "Prototype" blueprint gives the weapon a green M16-style stock and a modern barrel, and the "Lethal Damage" blueprint has a sporterized stock.

===AKS-47===
Equipping the "Duster Stock" on some blueprints turns the gun into an [[AKS-47]].

===Norinco Type 56===
The "AK-47" wielded by NVA and VC soldiers in the Vietnam flashback missions is modeled after the Chinese [[Norinco Type 56]].

===AMD-65===
The ''[[Rambo III]]'' inspired "Bloodstained" blueprint gives the gun a similar appearance to the [[AMD-65]], except that it retains the AK-47's front sight and gas system.

[[File:AMD65Short.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Hungarian AMD-65 as seen in the film - 7.62x39mm. This one has an American copy of an Israeli blank fire adapter (which is slightly longer and thinner than most commonly seen external BFAs. This is the version seen in the movie.)]]

===AKM===
Unusable [[AKM]] rifles can be seen next to the Glock 18 pistols in the multiplayer map "Checkmate".

[[File:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]

==AKS-74U==
The [[AKS-74U]] is one of the weapons in ''Black Ops Cold War''. In classic ''Call of Duty'' tradition, it is incorrectly classified as a submachine gun and referred to as the "AK-74u". While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, it's quite overrepresented even with Woods having one in his trunk at a time when the Soviets were just introducing it to service in Afghanistan. It also appears anachronistically in Bell's false flashbacks to the Vietnam War, where it's inaccurately used by the Vietcong.

It has attachment configurations that approximate members of the [[AS Val]] family. The "Duster Stock" is similar the Val stock, the "Commando Assembly" stock is from the [[VSS Vintorez]], and the “10.3" Ranger” barrel configuration uses the SR-3M's handguard. The "40 Rd Speed Mag" is also a 20-round 6L25 9x39mm magazine.

In addition, the drum magazine attachments are straighter-style 7.62x39mm drum magazines.

[[File:AKS-74upreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While this is the most accurately modeled AKS-74U in the ''Call of Duty'' series so far, it is shown with an AK-47 style pistol grip, apparently having traded grips with the Beta AK-47.]]

Note that the "Spetsnaz PKM Stock" attachment is just a regular AK-type stock in this blueprint. Also note that this game does not contain a PKM, which is odd, as many Warsaw Pact weapons feature stocks with "Spetsnaz PKM stock" as their name.]]

=="CARV.2"==
The "CARV.2" added during Season 3 is a fictional burst-firing bullpup "tactical rifle" manufactured by the same (in-universe) company that manufactures the "KSP 45". It appears to be based on the [[Heckler & Koch G11|Heckler & Koch G11 K2]], even using the latter's 4.73mm caseless ammunition in Warzone.

Compared to the real G11, the "CARV.2" is a bullpup rifle with a a conventional bullpup configuration, with the magazine placed in the stock instead of above the barrel. This magazine holds 45-rounds by default, and bizarrely has ".437mm×33" written on it. Oddly, the magazine is also curved, despite the caseless 4.73mm round not being tapered (which is the reason for curved magazines, to allow for the round to feed properly). It also features a typical charging handle, instead of the wind-up handle on the real G11.

The "CARV.2" appears shorter and slightly taller than the G11, with a carrying handle instead of the G11's integrated optic, and a rail where the real G11's magazine resides. The handguard is moulded, and the barrel is vented, presumably a way of alleviating the problems the G11 had with its barrel heating up during operation, as there are no brass shells to take the heat out of the rifle. The fire selector is further forward than the real G11, but still features semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto, although the rifle is not able to fire in semi-auto or full-auto in gameplay. A more true to the real thing handguard is available as the ''22.5" Task Force'' barrel attachment.

==CETME Model C==
The [[CETME Model C]] was added in Season 4 as the "C58", noted due to its slightly curved magazine.

The "SASR Jungle Grip" gives it a similar pistol grip to the [[Heckler & Koch PSG-1]], and the "Raider Stock" also resembles a PSG-1 stock. The "CQB Stock" is a sliding design similar to the [[G3A4]].

Interestingly, one of the magazine options is a caliber conversion (the first such attachment in the game), using 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in a fictional 60-round drum; oddly, the only thing this does is decrease the damage in exchange for a larger-than-normal magazine, with no impact on fire rate, recoil, muzzle velocity, etc. This is not the case for the Warzone counterpart, as that one instead has a 55-round drum option that retains the base 7.62x51mm ammunition.

The curved "25 Rnd Speed" and "Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag" resemble the anachronistic [[Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG-1#PTR_rifle_series|PTR 32]] magazines, albeit without the modern plastics. The "18.7" Reinforced Heavy Barrel" will give it a handguard resembling that of an [[IMI Romat]]'s while the "18.2" Takedown" to its predecessor the Model B. "15.6" Ultralight" and "18.7" Ranger" will give it a handguard resembling that of a Model E.

==Enfield EM-2==
A stylised arctic model [[Enfield EM-2]] was added in season five. It features its built in scope by default. When equipped for the first time, the character properly presses the fire selector button to switch the weapon to full-auto mode. It is correctly referred as firing .280 British in Warzone and in the names of some of the muzzle attachments. While not anachronistic, its usage by anyone in the 80s is extremely unlikely due to only 59 examples being ever produced.

==FAMAS Hybrid==
The "FFAR 1" is a weapon based on the [[FAMAS Valorisé]] combined with a trigger guard and magazine well from FAMAS G2 (both of which would be anachronistic to the game), with some visual features similar to the "FFAR" from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]''. The default magazine correctly holds 25 rounds instead of 30 like in past ''Call of Duty'' games.

In the game's lore it appears that this weapon is the successor of the FAMAS from the first ''Black Ops'' game and predecessor to the "FFAR" from ''Black Ops III''.

==FARA 83==
The [[FARA 83]] was added in Season 2 with the metal stock, marking its first appearance in a video game. The flash hider is of a different design to the real weapon and some sort of gas block is mounted underneath the front sight, which is absent on the real weapon.

The "Tactical Stock" uses the real fixed stock of the FARA. Oddly, the weapon features some AK stock, with the East German coat hangar AK stock as the "Wire Stock" and a [[Norinco Type 56-2|Type 56-2]] stock as the "Duster Stock".

==IMI Galil ARM==
The [[IMI Galil ARM]] was added in Season 6, and is called the "Grav" like in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]''. It has an [[AS Val]] stock and a slightly shorter barrel by default, but can be fitted with a longer barrel in Gunsmith.

==K31==
The [[K31 Rifle]] was added to the sniper rifles category in Season 3, under the name "Swiss K31". It has a shortened barrel by default, though the “24.9" Extended” barrel attachment gives it the correct barrel length.

The Warzone incarnation of the K31 is correctly chambered in 7.5x55mm. Despite this, some barrel attachment make it seem like the weapon fires .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, which would be incorrect.

==M14==
The [[M14]] appears in the game as the "DMR 14". It sports a synthetic stock (though equipping the Duster Pad stock gives it a chequered wooden stock), fires semi-automatically, and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer.

==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] appears under the "tactical rifles" class. It is simply referred to as the "M16" in the HUD, but actually has "M16.A2" markings on the magwell. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine, and the pin for the auto sear on the lower receiver is absent, which in reality would prevent the rifle from firing in bursts. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as the M16A2 was not adopted for service yet, first being adopted in 1983 by the USMC and in 1986 by the Army. Rather than removing the carry handle as in previous Black Ops games, it uses an anachronistic carry handle rail when equipping optics. Said carry handle rail appears to be a modern 1913 rail attached using a clamp and screw system from a Colt 3x or 4x AR-15 scope somehow mated together. The weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

The M16's alternate barrel options include “16.3" Rapid Fire”, “20.5" Cavalry Lancer”, “16.3" Titanium”, “20.2" Takedown”, and “15.9" Strike Team”; of these, the 20.5" barrel options are visually just the default barrel but fluted ("Cavalry Lancer") or dimpled ("Takedown"). For the short barrel options, the "Rapid Fire" and "Strike Team" both give the gun a short triangular handguard (the difference is that "Rapid Fire" has a smooth barrel while "Strike Team"'s is fluted), while "Titanium" gives the gun a short round handguard, the end result somewhat resembling a Colt Model 723 14.5" A1 barrel.

The M16's stock options include "Tactical Stock", the normal M16A2 stock with a cheek pad, "Wire Stock", an M231 FPW-like wire stock, "Duster Stock", a Doublestar Ace skeleton stock (which might be anachronistic), "Commando Assembly", a 2nd generation collapsible stock, and "Buffer Tube", an exposed buffer tube with a rubber pad.

Magazine options include the classic ''Black Ops'' jungle-style fast mags made with either duct tape or clamps, a 30-round STANAG magazine depicted as a 45-rounder, a 20-round STANAG magazine with an improvised duct tape magazine assists somehow also depicted as a 45-rounder, and a 54-round magazine (which also appears on the in-game XM4, where it holds 50 rounds).

===Colt XM4 Carbine===
The combination of the “16.3" Titanium” barrel attachment with the "Commando Assembly" stock attachment approximates the [[M4 Carbine|XM4 Carbine]], sans the proper stepped barrel.

==Norinco QBZ-95-1==
An anachronistic [[Norinco QBZ-95-1]] rifle appears in the game, featuring several retro-styled cosmetic alterations. It was briefly seen in the Gunsmith trailer, labeled the "Type 15", but the name was changed to "QBZ-83" in the Beta. The Type 95's development began in 1989, with the first prototypes being made in 1990. The in-game weapon bears some cosmetic resemblances to [http://www.163.com/dy/article/EK33QH8D05355H7O.html some of the Type 95's early prototypes], but is still clearly based on the QBZ-95-1, which began its development in 2004 and was adopted in 2010.

The side of the gun is marked with "T97NSR-PWC-CAL 5.56 mm"; T97NSR refers to a semi-auto only civilian variant of the 5.56mm QBZ-97A sold in Canada named Type 97 NSR. This likely suggests that Treyarch modeled the gun after a Type 97 NSR then modified it to make it resemble a Chinese QBZ-95 (with its distinct magazine shape and paddle magazine release) and "retro-ified" it. Some of its muzzle attachments also have "5.56" as part of their names, though it is unclear if this is an intentional reference to the QBZ-97 connections or a result of the generally confused state of attachment name/descriptions in ''BOCW''; its Warzone incarnation is also supposedly chambered in 5.56 NATO.

The "QBZ-83" name would suggest that it was adopted in 1983 in the ''Black Ops'' universe which would still be anachronistic to the pre-83 maps.

The weapon's trigger and trigger guard shape come from the [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-2]], with the latter being made from stamped metal rather like the FAMAS. Its magazines appear to be loosely based on Chinese steel AK magazines. It also has three vents on the upper handguard and a birdcage-like muzzle device, both elements of the QBZ-97.]]
[[File:QBZ95-1preview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In Gunsmith, the Canadian Type 97 NSR markings are more easily seen. The space between the pistol grip and the magazine well is marked with the Chinese text "83式自动步枪" (Pinyin: 83 shì zì dòng bù qiāng), which means "Type 83 automatic rifle". The word "中国" (Pinyin: zhōng guó), meaning "China", can also be faintly seen marked on the magazine well. The rear of the stock is ''very'' faintly marked with what's apparently "梦想" (Pinyin: mèng xiǎng), or "dream". Also note that the fire selector only has safe/fire positions like a civilian model.]]

==Norinco Type 63==
The [[Norinco Type 63]] is available in the game, classified as a "tactical rifle". Despite being select-fire in reality, it is restricted to semi-automatic mode in-game; the spike bayonet is also unusable. It uses what appears to be an anachronistic M14 rifle style rail mount when equipping optics. The default magazine initially held a correct 20 rounds in the closed alpha, but this was increased to an incorrect 25 in the beta and final game.

Player character Bell and Woods use this rifle in "Redlight, Greenlight" instead of a more appropriate American M14.

==OTs-14 Groza==
A stylized [[OTs-14 Groza]] with a shortened receiver was added to the game in Season 1. It is anachronistic, as the real weapon was produced in 1992. It feeds from 5.45x39mm style magazines, something which is not confirmed to have existed on a real Groza, but is actually used on a Groza-inspired bullpup AK pistol developed in the late 2010s by US-based Bad Element Co. In contrast, its Warzone incarnation is stated to be chambered in "7.62 Soviet" (i.e. 7.62x39mm), and some of its muzzle attachments have "7.62" as part of their name.

[[File:Grozapreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Groza in the battlepass preview screen.

=="RAI K-84"==
The "RAI K-84" (standing for "Reactorniy Avtomat-Izluchatel Kuhlklay-84", translated "Reactor Automatic Radiator Kuhlklay-84") is a "Wonder Weapon" in the Zombies map Firebase Z released during Season 1. It is based on an [[AK-74]] with the depiction of a milled receiver; such a configuration exists on the Waffen Werks WW-74M, a US-made semi-automatic rifle, though the in-game weapon has two rivets at the rear like the stamped receiver of a standard AK-74. It is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher called the "GP-6K2" and modeled after a [[GP-25]].

[[File:BOCWRAIKReload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At least reloading the weapon shows more careful finger placement. As a bit of trivia, intel in the map notes that the RAI K-84 was based off of a "Generator Khaosa Zavoyski-45" weapon that was developed in-universe in WWII. This is a reference to the otherwise completely fictional "GKZ-45 Mark3" Wonder Weapon from the ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'' map Gorod Krovi, implying the RAI K is a successor to it. This is backed up by it operating like a more powerful version of the GKZ; a powerful laser bolt firing weapon with a secondary, grenade-type fire that explodes when shot at with the former.]]

==Steyr AUG A1==
The [[Steyr AUG A1]] appears in the game as the "AUG" and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer. It incorrectly fires in three-round bursts, a feature of the much later (2005) AUG A3. Its foregrip is folded by default, but it can be unfolded via the "Field Agent foregrip"; it also has some rail-mounted foregrip options. Like the M16A2, the weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

For some reason, Soviet troops use this weapon in the side-mission "Operation Red Circus," which is incorrect.

==XM16E1==
The fully-automatic [[XM16E1]] appears exclusively in the campaign. It is labeled "M16A1" in the HUD and on the magwell (though the pick-up text spells it with a lowercase "a", for some reason), but it actually has the appearance of a 'faux' XM16E1, as seen in some movies where the guns are built from M16A1s. This is firstly evidenced by the combination of an XM16E1's 3-prong flash hider with an M16A1's full fence lower. The weapon also appears to have a chrome bolt carrier, which was present on the XM16E1, but not on the M16A1. For some reason, the XM16E1 has an anachronistic A2 pistol grip, while the XM4 has a A1 pistol grip.

In a small though somewhat confusing detail, the receiver bears a forge code mark, C H. This would indicate a rifle with an upper receiver built from Harvey Aluminum billets, but this code would have been in use from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, well after Vietnam and never on an actual XM16E1 (though M16A1s were made with this code). Due to the nature of the game's storyline, this could be justified as intentional anachronism, however.

It appears in the two Vietnam flashback levels, as well as a few other missions where it is available alongside the M16A2. It is incredibly powerful, as the weapon's damage was balanced for occasional bursts rather than consistent fully-auto firing, made even easier with the game's rather controllable muzzle climb. It uses the same reloading animations as the M16A2, but has a different firing sound. It is also seen in the "Good Enough" calling card.

[[File:XM16E1 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds an XM16E1 in a Vietnamese village.]]

==XM177E1==
The [[XM177E1]], specifically the later model with a full fence lower, appears under the name "XM4". It is depicted with a flat top, seeming to be the result of a chopped off carry handle with a bolted rail (which was done in the 1980s by Olympic Arms and some other manufacturers). It has an anachronistic rear sight which is a hybrid between the Troy Battle Sight and Midway Industries Flip Up Sight, and the flash hider has been altered to resemble an A1. It also appears to have been based on a civilian model, as it has semi-auto only selector markings (Fire/Safe).

The weapon is wrapped in slings with a portion tucked behind the bolt catch like the "Commando" from the first ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]'', although the default empty reload animation in this case correctly uses the charging handle instead of trying to hit the bolt release, which couldn't possibly work with a cloth strap tucked behind it (that said, some reload animations, like the jungle mags reload animation, still involve hitting the sling-padded bolt catch). Equipping any stock customization removes the sling wrap. Mounting optics removes the front sight but keeps the gas block.

The XM4 designation is anachronistic for the time period of 1981, as the XM177 wouldn't be designated as "XM4" until 1983, and even then would be attached to an [http://www.imfdb.org/images/2/2a/XM4_Carbine_%26_M16A2_%281982%29.jpg improved model of the XM177E2]. The A1 pistol grip is inaccurately depicted as being solid instead of hollow.

The "Black Tide" blueprint replaces the regular handguard with a carbine-length [[M203]] grenade launcher heat shield; it also has a yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint similar to the [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] used by "The Roach" in ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''. The "Giantsbane" variant uses an anachronistic [[Z-M LR 300]] handguard and front sight (the LR 300 having been introduced in 2000). It is also seen in the "Reaper Of The Dead" calling card.

The "Inconspicuous" blueprint uses the M16A2's upper receiver, while retaining the XM177E1's earlier teardrop forward assist, however. It has an [[Olympic Arms OA-93]] style handguard with vents patterned after the Advanced Armament Corporation OMNI suppressor, an Israeli style elastic handguard band, what appears to be a faux suppressor, a tactical light, a stock cheek pad and a [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War#SureFire MAG5-60|SureFire MAG5-60]] magazine. The "Fly Trap" blueprint has an A2 handguard, an A2 pistol grip, and an A2 forward assist. The "Ultimate Hunter" has an anachronistic quad rail handguard, a muzzle brake with a breach face, a scope with some cosmetic similarities to a Trijicon ACOG, and a collapsible stock modelled after various offerings from the late 2000's onwards.

==Accuracy International PM/AW Hybrid==
The "LW3 - Tundra" is a hybrid of the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Precision Marksman|Accuracy International Precision Marksman]] and the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Arctic Warfare|Arctic Warfare]], along with some fictional elements. It has a Precision Marksman-style stock, and lacks a finger cutout in the magwell like this model, but has the safety of an Arctic Warfare (incorrectly set to the rear position, which would lock the bolt and the trigger), as well as an adjustable cheek pad and a flash hider like the latter. Curiously enough, it also uses Picatinny rails like the AW, but with a PM-like scope mount and backup rear sight used on it. The rifle is mildly anachronistic, as the Precision Marksman wasn't developed until 1982 and the Arctic Warfare wasn't developed until 1988, while the campaign takes place in 1981 and multiplayer takes place between 1981-1985. The name Tundra suggests it was intended to be based off of the Artic Warfare, but they went with PM elements to keep it to the multiplayer's time period.

==Barrett M82A1M==
The [[Barrett M82A1M]] appears in the game as the "M82". It is anachronistic to the game, since it was developed in the 1990s; the original M82 would be more accurate for some multiplayer maps. To balance out its semiautomatic firing mode, the M82A1M is comically the ''weakest'' sniper rifle in terms of per-shot damage, not even able to break the bulletproof armor scorestreak in one shot. Due to the lack of a Soviet sniper rifle, the Soviet forces use the Barrett as their sniper, which is incorrect.

==Mechem NTW-20==
The [[Mechem NTW-20]] was added in the Season 2 Reloaded update as the "ZRG 20mm". It is heavily stylized and fitted with a PSO-1 scope with incorrect reticle by default. It is also far shorter than the real weapon, making the weapon shorter then the in-game Barrett M82A1M, despite the NTW-20 being roughly twice the length of the Barrett. It is anachronistic by more than a decade (1998) and is set up for left-handed use, with the magazine and bolt handle on the right and left side respectively, opposite what it should be.

==Remington 700PSS==
The [[Remington 700PSS]] appears as the "Pelington 703", complete with a permanently attached Harris bipod (which can be deployed by equipping the "Front Grip" or "Bipod" underbarrel attachments). Like the M40 and R700 rifles in ''[[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]]'', it is reloaded with individual rounds. It is anachronistic for the game as it was designed in 1986 while the 80s segments of ''Black Ops Cold War'' take place in 1981-1985; the scope also mounts on an anachronistic rail. It also appears in Bell's Vietnam War false flashbacks, fitted with a wooden stock and is depicted as being used by the US troops, though it is likely standing in for a standard Remington 700 in this case. Its Warzone incarnation is stated to use .308 ammunition (most likely Winchester).

=Machine Guns=
==CETME Ameli==
The late NB model [[CETME Ameli]] was added in Season 4. It is inaccurately fitted with an early NA variant flash hider. It appears under the Spanish Army's designation "MG 82".

==M134 Minigun==
A handheld [[M134 Minigun]] is featured in the game. It is shown with a 4-flange barrel clamp (like an original General Electric M134) combined with a Dillon Aero flash hider. It is obtainable in the campaign mission "The Final Countdown", under the name "M134 Minigun". It was later added to multiplayer and Zombies in Season 2 as the "Death Machine".

It also appears mounted on helicopters, including the "Chopper Gunner" scorestreak in multiplayer, and as part of the "Sentry Turret" scorestreak. A helicopter-mounted version can be used by Bell during a setpiece in "Fracture Jaw".

==="Death Machine" (Dead Ops Arcade 3)===
The "Death Machine" model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'', a futuristic man-portable rotary gun based on the [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]], appears exclusively as a power-up in the Zombies map Dead Ops Arcade 3: Rise of the Mamaback.

[[File:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|450px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]

==M60==
The [[M60 machine gun|M60]] is one of the machine guns in ''BOCW''; it is the original model, as opposed to the M60E3 featured in past games.

A mounted version can also be found in "End of the Line". It is also seen in the "Harvest Time" calling card.

==RPD==
The [[RPD]] appears under its real name, with an incorrect disintegrating ammunition belt. The "Fast Mag" reload animation shows the RPD reload in a unique manner by having the new belt pulled through the closed top cover, whereas the default reload involves using the feed tray cover.

In the campaign, it is used by Soviet forces in 1981, at a time when it had already been phased out in favor of the [[PKM]] and the [[RPK-74]].

==Stoner 63A==
The [[Stoner 63A]] is available in-game. Its in-game configuration primarily matches the Commando configuration, feeding from the right and featuring a bottom cocking handle. By default, it has a long barrel generally associated with the LMG configuration, though it can be modified with a Commando barrel via the “16" SOR Cut Down” attachment; this is a rather strange name, given that the Commando-length barrel was a factory option. A few Soviet heavies in the campaign are seen using these instead of the more faction-appropriate RPD.

The gun can use a 100-round drum modeled after the real gun's left-feeding 100-round drum, mirrored to feed from the right instead of the left (and also featuring some cosmetic differences). The gun also has a fictional 125-round box option.

=Launchers=
==FIM-43 Redeye==
The [[FIM-43 Redeye]] appears under the name "Cigma 2". Despite being a dedicated MANPADS in reality, the weapon can still be fired even without a lock-on and against ground targets.

==GP-25==
The "RAI K-84" wonder weapon in Zombies is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher, called the "GP-6K2" and taking the form of a [[GP-25]].

==Hawk MM1 grenade launcher==

==M84 stun grenade==
An [[M84 stun grenade]] is carried by Woods in the campaign and is seen in cinematics. The same fictionalized M84 from ''Modern Warfare'' is also carried by multiplayer operator Zeyna. It is anachronistic as it was used from 1995 in reality.

==MG34==
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II "Königstiger" heavy tank on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map has a hull-mounted [[MG34]].

==MG42==
An [[MG42]] with a drum magazine appears only as an emplaced weapon in the Vietnam War flashback mission "Fracture Jaw". It is confirmed that the MG34 was used in Vietnam as military aid from the Soviet Union which had captured stockpiles from WWII thus the appearance of the MG42 in this context is also plausible.

==Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23==
The "VTOL Escort" (Modeled after the Yak-38) has two [[Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23]] autocannons mounted in underwing UPK-23 gunpods. While the pod itself is correctly modeled, it is incorrectly depicted as a flexible aiming system (independent from the Yak's nose direction) due to gameplay reasons and controls. It is also seen mounted with an NPPU-23 helicopter turret inaccurately onto a Mi-8 helicopter piloted by Kravchenko in "Mauer Der Toten".

'''''Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War''''' is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the sixth game in the ''Black Ops'' series and the seventeenth in the ''Call of Duty'' series. It is also a direct sequel to ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops]]''. Like previous games in the series, it is composed of three main modes of play, a single-player campaign, a player-vs-player multiplayer mode, and a 1-4 player cooperative zombies mode. The campaign's setting takes place primarily in 1981 with several flashbacks dating to 1968 during the Vietnam War, and the zombies and multiplayer mode take place simultaneously in 1984, hence, certain weapons are available in these modes that aren't present in the campaign because of the time difference. The player character is a new, customizable operative codenamed "Bell", who is part of a CIA task force, including Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson, out to stop a Soviet agent codenamed "Perseus" (based on the real-life conspiracy) from carrying out a decades-long plan that could radically alter the balance of power of the Cold War.

{{VG Title}}

__TOC__ 

=Overview=
''Black Ops Cold War'' maintains several weapon features from the 2019 ''Modern Warfare'', including Gunsmith and the ability to reload while aiming down sights.

The game features an extensive swimming and underwater mechanic which inaccurately depicts weapons as being able to be fired underwater, something which would lead to malfunctions and possible complete weapon failures (i.e. exploded barrels) in reality, not to mention projectiles can't travel more than a few feet in such environment. Also, bullet velocities for most of the weapon are much slower in-game than in real life, and some weapons unrealistically share the same velocities despite their different calibers and designs.

While Gunsmith offers a wide variety of attachments to equip, it lacks several features from ''Modern Warfare''. It also features some ''staggeringly'' poor attachment descriptions filled with inaccuracies and misused terms. For example, STANAG is used as a catch-all term for extended magazines, despite the real usage being almost the exact opposite of such an idea.

Weapons from ''Black Ops Cold War'' also make appearances in ''Call of Duty: Warzone'', a standalone battle royale game mode originally released for (and developed on) ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)]]''. While most weapons are identical between BOCW and ''Warzone'', a number of weapons, especially the ones added post-release, have more detailed animations in ''Warzone''. More rarely, some BOCW weapons have different weapon models when implemented in ''Warzone''.

=Handguns=
==Beretta 93R==
The [[Beretta 93R]] appears under the name "Diamatti". It holds 15 rounds by default, despite having a visibly extended magazine. It also has a slightly shorter barrel by default; the “7.2" Reinforced Heavy” barrel attachment gives it a more correct barrel length, though this one is shown as fluted. Soviet forces use it in the campaign (which is incorrect), along with Alex Mason in "Echoes of a Cold War".

==Colt M1911A1==
The [[Colt M1911A1]] is featured in the game, simply referred to as "1911" and featuring a nickel finish similar to the multiplayer 1911 weapon model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]''. In the campaign, it is the main sidearm of almost everyone, including the Soviet and North Vietnamese forces, who would much more likely use the [[Makarov PM]] or [[Tokarev TT-33]] as their sidearms. It incorrectly holds 8 rounds in a standard 7-round magazine.
In alpha, beta, and pre-release materials, the M1911 appears with a parkerized finish and brown grips. The "Wingman" skin from the "Air Sea Land Pack" for the Ultimate Edition is also an M1911A1, featuring a paint-job similar to that of the P-51 Mustang fighters during WWII. The M1911A1 is also used in the Overpower finishing move.

==Desert Eagle==
An anachronistic and visually altered [[Desert Eagle]] fitted with a Laser Products Corporation LPC Model 7 laser sight and an enormous muzzle brake appears as the "Hand Cannon" in the campaign mission "Desperate Measures". Inspiration for the weapon appears to come from the laser sighted [[AMT Hardballer]] from ''[[The Terminator]]''. Perhaps taking its moniker a little too literally, it fires explosive rounds. The campaign version feeds from an 8-round magazine (which could or could not be correct, its caliber never being stated) and cannot be reloaded; once all eight rounds have been fired, it is discarded.

It was added as the "Hand Cannon" streak in Season 4, with 10 extremely powerful explosive rounds that can take out any streak you can shoot in one to four shots. It is the primary weapon of choice for the "One in the Chamber" gamemode. Its scorestreak icon shows an even more anachronistic picatinny railed Mark XIX than the Mark VII it is based on. The laser is now green, and aiming uses ironsights mounted on top of the laser. Its role is similar to the "Annihilator" revolver from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III|BO3]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]'', even reusing the sounds from those games for the "Annihilator".

[[File:BOCWDeagle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds the Hand Cannon as he awaits enemy forces about to barge into the room. Here the laser sight can be seen more clearly.]]

==Glock 18C==
Three unusable [[Glock 18C]] pistols can be seen hanging on a wall on the multiplayer map "Checkmate". Their appearance is anachronistic as the map takes place in January 1985, while the Glock 18 was produced in 1986 - the 3rd Generation variants were introduced after 1998. A Glock pistol is also seen in the "Grizzled Veteran Master" calling card.
[[File:Glock 18C.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. This model has compensator cuts on the slide and barrel to reduce muzzle climb while firing.]]
[[File:BOCW-Glock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The pistol in a highly unlikely place to be found, an East German training facility. Despite having the 18C's compensator cuts, the slide markings label it as a standard Glock 18.]]

=="Magnum"==
The "Magnum" is a fictional hybrid revolver that appears to have some influence from a variety of revolvers such as [[Smith & Wesson#Revolvers|Smith & Wesson]], [[Ruger#Revolvers|Ruger]], [[Arminius HW Revolver Series|Arminius]], Alfa, [[Astra#Revolvers|Astra]] and the [[Colt Trooper]]. The rear of the frame and the angle of the grip give it a strong resemblance to the G&G G733 airsoft revolver. The names of some of its muzzle attachments suggest that it is chambered in .45 ACP (misnamed ".45 APC"); this would contradict both the "Magnum" name, and its Warzone incarnation's stated chambering (.357 Magnum). Like other revolvers in previous ''Black Ops'' games, it is reloaded with single rounds by default, and still has the reload logic errors of the player character reloading only the rounds needed to refill the cylinder in gameplay despite the reload animation showing the entire cylinder being ejected.

The Magnum can also accept a suppressor, even though it almost certainly wouldn't work on the revolver in reality due to the gap between the cylinder, which would leak enough propellant gases to render the suppressor useless. The Magnum also has nonsensical 9-round and 12-round cylinders as attachment options; these cylinders are completely identical to the base cylinder dimensionally, with the amount of rounds held in them ''visibly'' remaining 6 rounds. They're only different in their shapes, being an unfluted cylinder and a [[Mateba]]-like hexagonal cylinder respectively. These cylinder options are also very incorrectly referred to as magazines in their attachment names.

The "Minted" blueprint gives the revolver a barrel that appears similar to the anachronistic [[Smith & Wesson Model 986]], while others give it a [[Dan Wesson]]-style heavy barrel.

[[File:Revolverpreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up look of the "Magnum" in Gunsmith, showing its many design inspirations - the sights come from Smith & Wesson revolvers, the cylinder, hammer, trigger & trigger guard from a Colt Python, the barrel seems to be a mix between that of a Python and a Colt Trooper (complete with a partial underlug rather awkwardly merged into a full one), and a Ruger-style recoil shield; the latter is supposed to have the cylinder release mounted on it, but the designer instead decided to put a conventional Astra-esque cylinder release behind it, forcing them to rather awkwardly stretch the frame forward to fit both.]]

The animation finishes with a wince-inducing flick of the wrist to shut the cylinder.]]

==Makarov PM==
Two [[Makarov PM]]s appear on Helen Park's "Scorched", "Bad Blood", "Hellion", and "Commando" outfits, as well as on Samantha Maxis' "Dark Aether" outfit and Portnova's "Handler" outfit. Aleksandra Valentina also carries a holstered one in the Zombies mode cutscenes.

==Sedgley Fist Gun==

=="Strife"==
The fictional "Strife" pistol from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|Black Ops 4]]'' can be seen on a table in the side mission "Operation Red Circus". Unusable and completely anachronistic to the game's setting, the gun was likely originally used as a placeholder during the mapping process that went overlooked and wasn't removed.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] is used by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine.

=="Tranquilizer Gun"==
A hybrid of a [[Ruger Mk II]] and a [[Welrod]] mocked up to be a tranquilizer pistol is used by Bell in the campaign. The detachable magazine holds 8 rounds, and the animations are reused from the M1911 listed above. The bolt from the Welrod is used as a slide when it locks back on an empty magazine, however, the weapon does not eject casings of any kind, which begs the question of what the slide actually does. Some sort of air canister is seen under the barrel, and the weapon makes noises comparable to compressed air being released, which makes sense.

==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
A [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] with a collapsible stock and a threaded barrel is available as the "MP5". It has an aftermarket and anachronistic Vector Arms MP5K style handstop handguard with perforations instead of a vertical foregrip by default. It uses an HK claw mount with an anachronistic rail when equipping optics. It can be customized into a number of MP5 variants as seen below, having a wide latitude of barrel and stock configurations akin to ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]''.

While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, the MP5K is used by US troops in Bell's Vietnam War flashbacks, which is both inaccurate and anachronistic (the MP5K was developed in 1976, and while the standard MP5 was first developed in 1966, it didn't see any form of service in Vietnam until 1975 as the MP5SD with the Green Berets). In this case (along with certain other weapons in the Vietnam missions), it can somewhat be excused by the fact that these are false flashbacks mixed with hallucinations.

All blueprint variants of the MP5 have the same lower receiver as those of ''Modern Warfare'' (being based on the receiver of a [[PTR 9KT]], which is incredibly anachronistic to ''Cold War''), with the triangular parts still facing the opposite direction compared to real S-E-F lowers.

===Heckler & Koch MP5A3===
The weapon has some barrel attachments that turn it into a full-sized [[MP5A3]]. The “9.5" Extended” barrel has an original slimline handguard, while the “9.5" Ranger” has a "tropical" wide handguard.

===Heckler & Koch MP5A2===
The combination of the aforementioned barrel with the "Tactical Stock" turns the gun into an [[MP5A2]].

===Heckler & Koch MP5SD2===
Combining either of the sound suppressors with the “9.5" Ranger” barrel configurations produces a [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD]] configuration. The “9.5" Extended” and “9.5" Reinforced Heavy” barrels also create an MP5SD with an alternate style of round handguard.

==Intratec TEC-9 Hybrid==
A mildly fictionalized [[Intratec TEC-9]] was added with season five. It is depicted with the bolt assembly and charging handle of an [[Interdynamic KG-9]], although it is shown firing from a closed bolt like an actual TEC-9. It also has the front sight of a [[PPSh-41]] and the stock of an Interdynamic MP-9, though the latter can be removed with the "No Stock" attachment. When equipping grip attachments, it uses the base of the factory grip with the actual grip chopped off and replaced with the grip attachment of choice.

It fires in semi-auto by default, but there are attachments that convert it into full-auto (the fire rate of which appears to be slower than in real life) and an inaccurate burst fire mode. It incorrectly holds 21 and 24 rounds (in multiplayer and Warzone respectively) in the actual 32-round magazine, presumably to prevent a burst from having less than 3 rounds.

In terms of chronology, while the earlier MP-9/KG-9 was produced from 1981 (thus being borderline period appropriate for the 1981-1985 multiplayer maps), the TEC-9 has the post-1987 rear sight, rendering it anachronistic for the game.

Dual TEC-9s are used by Perseus operative Kitsune in the season five cinematic trailer. The weapon is also seen in the "Harbinger Of Doom" calling card.

=="KSP 45"==
The "KSP 45" is a fictional 3-round burst submachine gun. It is primarily based on the [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] with its boxy design, selector switch style, and similarly shaped rear sight, but takes other design cues from various Cold War-era submachine guns. It has an AR-like bolt release, a right-side charging handle, a vertical magazine well like the [[Walther MPL]], a [[Jatimatic]] like pistol grip, and an AK trigger guard with paddle magazine release. Notably, it also resembles the "MACHT 37" frankengun from ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]''. Its buttstock seems to combine the socket of a solid MP5 stock, the shape of one from Wieger StG-940 assault rifle, H&K G3 style sling attachment point and the foldability of the UMP stock; the "Tactical Stock" and "SAS Combat Stock" attachments swap this out for a [[PSG-1]]-style stock (without or with a cheek rest, respectively), while the "Wire Stock" attachment gives it a shortened Romanian [[Talk:Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops_Cold_War#AK_Wire_Stock|AK wire stock]] and the "Duster Stock" gives it the proper UMP stock. Curiously, the "42 Rnd" and "48 Rnd STANAG" magazine attachments, while referred to as drums, are actually shrunken-down HK21 machine gun belt boxes with feed towers instead of belt feed openings; the "42 Rnd Speed Mag" and "SALVO 48 Rnd Fast Mag" are [[Spectre M4]]-esque quad stack mags (of the exact same size, with the only difference being the latter's cloth shroud).

Although it isn't normally written in all caps, "Ksp" is the Swedish abbreviation for "machine gun" (short for ''Kulspruta''); however, the trademarks on the right side of the "KSP 45" identify it as a "Kühn & Schmidt MP-U" and state that it is of West German origin. There is also a "WARNING REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL" stamp above the fire selector, which is similar to the markings on nonmilitary UMPs and USCs.

It is also depicted as being used by a Vietcong guerilla in the "Brap Brap" calling card implying that it was used in Vietnam in the ''Black Ops'' universe, however, no H&K style weapons were used in the Vietnam War in reality.

At full size, the fire selector's 3 positions - "SAFE", "BURST", and "AUTO" - can be seen; ignoring the rather obvious fact that the weapon can't be set to full-auto in-game, the lack of a semi-auto position on a select-fire weapon is rather bizarre. Somewhat amusingly, the former is accompanied by a single large white block, while the latter features three small ones, and the three-round-burst position only features two.]]

==LAPA SM Modelo 3==
The [[LAPA SM Modelo 3]] was added during Season 6, under the name "LAPA" (an odd name, as LAPA is the manufacturer of the weapon). The SM Modelo 3 was a prototype weapon with only one example ever made rendering it virtually impossible to be used in any meaningful combat capacity.

=="LC10"==
The "LC10" is a fictional submachine gun that was added in Season 2. It appears to be based on the [[Walther MPK]], with stylistic elements from (of all things) an [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] sniper rifle ([http://%20https://youtu.be/0krEGBnWEag?t=903%20 the developers having stated that in-universe it was made by the same manufacturer as the game's Accuracy International-inspired "LW3 Tundra"]). Its Warzone incarnation was previously stated to be chambered in .45 ACP, but this was later changed to 9mm Parabellum. The muzzle brake and flash guard attachments still have the .45 caliber shown as part of their names (in which case it is mislabeled ".45 APC").

[[File:LC10inspect2 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the empty magazine.]]

==MAC-10==
The [[MAC-10]] was added in Season 1. It is depicted with a custom side cocking charging handle similar to low profile Uzi cocking levers and uses anachronistic front grip adapter and top rail when attaching grip and sight attachments respectively. The side is marked with "Cal .45 Auto", which is contradicted by the use of a 32-round default magazine, the number "9" as part of some muzzle attachments names, and the use of 9mm Parabellum ammunition in Warzone. The weapon fires correctly from an open bolt in ''Cold War'', but incorrectly from a closed bolt in ''Warzone''.

The "Quick Judgement" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==OTs-02 Kiparis==
The [[OTs-02 Kiparis]] was added in in the mid-season update for Season 4, under the name "OTs 9". It is technically anachronistic to the 80s time period of the game, as while it was designed in the seventies, it was first serially produced in 1991. It uses 20-round magazines by default, though 25, 30, 32 and 40 round magazines are available as attachments, with the 30 rounder being the only real option. The 30 and 40 rounders are regular magazine extensions, while the 25 and 32 rounders are curved "speed mags".

The Kiparis is one of the few weapons to have a distinctly different set of animations in ''Warzone'' compared to ''Cold War''.

==PM-63 RAK==
The [[PM-63 RAK]] was added during Season 3 as the "AMP63"; unlike its incarnation in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|BO1]]'', it is classified as a pistol. Also unlike that incarnation, it has a correct 15-round capacity by default (with 20-, 22-, and 25-round optional magazines available, the latter being the only real one), as well as a more correct rate of fire. To avoid making anything too correct, its foregrip and stock are now permanently folded, and it erroneously fires from a closed bolt. Additionally, its Warzone incarnation is incorrectly chambered in 9mm Parabellum (a feature of the PM-70 prototype) rather than 9x18mm Makarov.

The "Lawgiver" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==PP-19 Bizon-2==
An anachronistic and heavily stylized [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] (developed in the 1990s) appears under the name "Bullfrog". It is depicted with a ribbed dust cover resembling that of an [[AS Val]], and the rear sight relocated to the rear of the receiver, along many other cosmetic changes. The default helical magazine only holds 50 rounds instead of 64 or 53 like its real-world counterpart (in 9x18mm Makarov and 9x19mm Parabellum, respectively), and its front attachment point is below the front sight (like the earlier Bizon-1). It has a top-folding stock by default, but can be fitted with a side-folding stock similar to that of other Bizon variants, via the "Duster Stock" or the "KGB Skeletal Stock" attachment.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] was added in Season 3. It is carried by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine and inaccurately by Soviet troops in the Season 3 cutscene, which is set in 1984. It is also seen in the "Combat Hardened" achievement icon which is based on the "Stand to Death" statue in Volgograd.

By default, it holds 32 rounds; this is a characteristic of the MP41(r), a German 9x19mm conversion of the PPSh-41 from WWII, even though the in-game weapon is modeled with a standard PPSh-41's 35-round magazine. Interestingly, the "VDV 50 Round Fast Mag" attachment gives the weapon a straight magazine looking similar to that of the MP41(r). To confuse matters further, its muzzle attachments imply that it's chambered in .45 ACP (or rather, .45 "APC"), a feature of absolutely no version of the PPSh.

The weapon has a variety of rather strange barrel options - the "15.7" Task Force" barrel, as well as the "Loud Pipe" variant, have a front forend and heat shield styled after the [[SVT-40]] (a setup extremely similar to the "Thrive" and "Snake" variations from ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''); the "14.9" Rifled" barrel gives it an [[Erma EMP-35]]'s barrel shroud and the small wooden forend of a [[PPD-40]]; the "14.9" Ranger" barrel has what appears to be a [[Browning M1919]] barrel shroud with a [[Karabiner 98k]] front sight; the "14.9" Reinforced Heavy" barrel is taken from the [[K-50M]] (albeit also fitted with a Kar98k's front sight); the "12.7" Cavalry Lancer" barrel is seemingly inspired by the PPD-40's (albeit shorter, with larger vents and no handguard); and the "14.3" Extended" barrel is taken from the [[PPS-43]]. Stock options include the "Tactical Stock" (an [[MP28]]-style stock with a leather cheekrest), the "Spetznaz Stock" (a regular-looking stock with a cheekrest and two seemingly-random bolts driven directly through the receiver), and the "Marathon", "Duster", and "CQB" stocks (all sawn off, with the former having the original wooden side panels, the latter having K-50M-esque metal side panels, and the Duster having the metal side panels of the experimental folding-stocked PPSh-45; these panels are also used by the "Raider Stock", seemingly a grafted-on rifle stock).

The "Night Raid" blueprint (a promotional pre-order reward in BOCW for [[Call of Duty: Vanguard]]) is stylized after WWII planes like the P-40 Warhawk with the addition of a red dot sight stylized after WWII aircraft reflector gunsights like the Mk 20 Mod 4 sight.

==SOCIMI Type 821==
The [[SOCIMI Type 821]] appears in-game. It was referred to as the "Type 821" during the alpha, but the name was changed to "Milano 821" in the Beta (with Milano being Italian for Milan, the city where this gun was made). It has an anachronistic Masterpiece Arms side cocking charging handle instead of the proper top mounted one like the [[Uzi]] it was based on. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as it was designed in 1983 and produced in 1984 (the earlier Uzi would have been a better choice).

=Shotguns=
==Franchi SPAS-12==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] appears as the "Gallo SA12" (''gallo'' means "rooster" or "cock" in Italian). It is used in semi-automatic mode, and the stock is folded by default, but it can be modified with some unfolded stock options, as well as a fixed stock or no stock at all. Attaching optics will automatically unfold the stock as well. It is weirdly used by Soviet forces in the campaign, and also appears anachronistically in the false flashbacks to the Vietnam War.

In a rare bit of realism, the carrier latch button is depressed during reloads to allow the user to load shells (unless an optical attachment is used, in which case the player character will grasp the shotgun from the heat shield instead). When not aiming, the weapon will be upended during reloads (as previously seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2|Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered]]''), while the weapon will be held right-side up if reloading while aiming. However, the gun is never rechambered after an empty reload. It holds 7 shells, which is possible with 6 round tubes and a 7th shell in the chamber (or with an underloaded 8-round tube), but as this is never depicted, the tube length is fictional. The magazine tube itself looks more like a 5 or 6 shell tube rather than the 7 shells the weapon actually holds.

The extended 9 and 12 round tubes are modeled incorrectly; while the tube does get longer, it only grows by about 0.5 shells length each time to avoid a comically large magazine tube sticking out of the front of the shotgun.

==Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun==
A stylized [[Henry USA rifle series#Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun|Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun]] was added with Season 6 as the ".410 Ironhide". It is extremely anachronistic; not only were Henry lever action shotguns not produced until 2017, but the side loading gate version featured in-game was introduced in 2019. It is fitted with a Williams sight. Compared to the game's other shotguns, it is more precision-oriented, with the tightest spread, lowest fire rate, and worst hipfire spread (the weapon's barrel somehow spreading pellets differently based on how the user looks at it); somewhat bafflingly, it also does the most damage out of all the game's shotguns, despite firing the smallest shells by a substantial margin.

In a reverse of the SPAS-12's errors, the Henry .410 is ''always'' cocked after every reload in ''Cold War''’s multiplayer. However, this is corrected in Warzone, where it is only cocked when empty.

==Ithaca 37==
The [[Ithaca 37]] appears in-game as the "Hauer 77", likely a reference to [[Rutger Hauer]], the late star of the film ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]''. The weapon is pumped after every single reload (in both Cold War and Warzone).

A shortened version called the "Sucker Punch" is available as a skin via the "Air Sea Land" pack for the Ultimate Edition. The base weapon can also be shortened by equipping the “19.3" Hammer Forged” barrel and the "No Stock" attachment.

==Penn Arms Striker-12==
The [[Penn Arms Striker-12]] was added to the game during Season 1. It has the auto-ejection mechanism (and therefore the shell deflector) of late models, but lacks a rear drum advance lever like early models. The design is anachronistic, as the auto-ejection feature on Striker shotguns (developed in 1989) wasn't yet in existence during game's time period (when the company was called Sentinel Arms), and the original model wouldn't fit in the pre-1983 multiplayer maps either.

It is referred to as the "Streetsweeper", and incorrectly fires in fully-automatic mode. Unlike its counterpart from previous games, the winding key is correctly used to rotate the cylinder while reloading, although there is a missing step in which the player character is supposed to manually eject the last shell with the ejector rod.

==TP-82==
A stylized [[TP-82]] was added in season five as the "Marshal", an in-universe predecessor to ''BO3''’s [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III#"Marshal 16"|"Marshal 16"]]. It is used by Woods as a backup sidearm in the season five cinematic trailer. It is classed as a pistol instead of a shotgun.

The weapon lacks the 5.45mm barrel that the actual weapon has, meaning it functions as a regular double-barrel shotgun. Furthermore, it has been rechambered for 12 gauge instead of the 12.5x70mm shells it actually uses. Owing to its pistol classification, it can be dual-wielded. The weapon only has 6 attachments, which include two optics (mounted on an anachronistic Picatinny rail), a cut-down barrel, a longer barrel and dual-wield. The final attachment is "Dragon's Breath" shells, which do not set enemies on fire, instead they just have a flat damage increase and a cosmetic fire effect, but they are still countered by Flak Jacket.

The two hammers on the gun are not dynamically animated in BOCW, but are in ''Warzone''. In BOCW, the right hammer doesn't drop after firing the first shot (from the right barrel), and both hammers will only drop (simultaneously) after firing both shots; the ''Warzone'' animation correctly shows the right hammer dropping after the first shot. This also extends to the reload animations: the BOCW animation only shows the operator cocking both hammers when reloading both both barrels, while the ''Warzone'' animation has an additional animation showing the operator cocking the one dropped hammer when reloading a single barrel.

Markings on the weapon read "Manufactured in the USA" and "Marshal 82". In a nice bit of attention-to-detail, struck primers can be seen on the fired shells when reloading.

=Rifles / Carbines=
==Ak 5==
A stylized [[Ak 5]] is featured in the game as the "Krig 6" (''krig'' means "war" in Swedish). It anachronistically appears in the campaign's 1981 period and in the false flashbacks to Vietnam, as it was first produced in 1986 (the [[FN FNC]], from which the Ak 5 was derived, would have been a more appropriate choice for the 80s segments). It also uses an anachronistic upper rail when equipping optics. It is used inaccurately by the East German police and Soviet and American troops in the campaign, who would much more likely use the [[AKS-74|MPi-AKS-74N]] and [[M16]] respectively.

The "Tactical Stock" gives it a synthetic fixed [[FN FAL]] stock (similar to some FNC configurations), and the "Commando Assembly" stock is taken from a [[SIG SG 550]] series rifle.

==AK-47/AKM Hybrid==
An "[[AK-47]]" is featured in the game. During the alpha and beta stages, it was mostly modeled correctly after an AK-47, albeit with an [[AKM]]-style pistol grip and slant compensator. However, the model of the base gun was changed in the final game: now it also has an AKM's stamped receiver and ribbed top cover, while retaining the AK-47's gas block, gas tube, front sight block, handguard, and stock.

It can be fitted with an [[RPK]]-style barrel and stock via the “20" Liberator” barrel and the "Tactical Stock" respectively. Other notable Eastern Bloc customizations include a Romanian/East German style coat-hanger stock with the added cheek strut piece as the "Wire Stock". The "Foregrip" is a Romanian type wooden foregrip and the "Patrol Grip" is a Hungarian FEG-style foregrip. It uses a fictionalized Dragunov optics mount modified into a rail mount when equipping optics.

The AK can also take an extended 40-round steel magazine or a 50-round orange Bakelite resin mag.

Interestingly, a more conventional reload was used in the beta but was changed to the underhand method in the final game presumably due to the community's dissatisfaction with the game's reload animations compared to ''Modern Warfare''.]]

===AK-47===
Many blueprints, such as the "Iron Curtain" and "Soviet Standard", retain the AK-47's appearance seen in earlier builds of the game. Additionally, some unusable AK-47s can be seen in the CIA Safehouse.

The Season 1 "Prototype" blueprint gives the weapon a green M16-style stock and a modern barrel, and the "Lethal Damage" blueprint has a sporterized stock.

===AMD-65===
The ''[[Rambo III]]'' inspired "Bloodstained" blueprint gives the gun a similar appearance to the [[AMD-65]], except that it retains the AK-47's front sight and gas system.

Unusable [[AKM]] rifles can be seen next to the Glock 18 pistols in the multiplayer map "Checkmate".

[[File:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]

==AKS-74U==
The [[AKS-74U]] is one of the weapons in ''Black Ops Cold War''. In classic ''Call of Duty'' tradition, it is incorrectly classified as a submachine gun and referred to as the "AK-74u". While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, it's quite overrepresented even with Woods having one in his trunk at a time when the Soviets were just introducing it to service in Afghanistan. It also appears anachronistically in Bell's false flashbacks to the Vietnam War, where it's inaccurately used by the Vietcong.

It has attachment configurations that approximate members of the [[AS Val]] family. The "Duster Stock" is similar the Val stock, the "Commando Assembly" stock is from the [[VSS Vintorez]], and the “10.3" Ranger” barrel configuration uses the SR-3M's handguard. The "40 Rd Speed Mag" is also a 20-round 6L25 9x39mm magazine.

In addition, the drum magazine attachments are straighter-style 7.62x39mm drum magazines.

Note that the "Spetsnaz PKM Stock" attachment is just a regular AK-type stock in this blueprint. Also note that this game does not contain a PKM, which is odd, as many Warsaw Pact weapons feature stocks with "Spetsnaz PKM stock" as their name.]]

=="CARV.2"==
The "CARV.2" added during Season 3 is a fictional burst-firing bullpup "tactical rifle" manufactured by the same (in-universe) company that manufactures the "KSP 45". It appears to be based on the [[Heckler & Koch G11|Heckler & Koch G11 K2]], even using the latter's 4.73mm caseless ammunition in Warzone.

Compared to the real G11, the "CARV.2" is a bullpup rifle with a a conventional bullpup configuration, with the magazine placed in the stock instead of above the barrel. This magazine holds 45-rounds by default, and bizarrely has ".437mm×33" written on it. Oddly, the magazine is also curved, despite the caseless 4.73mm round not being tapered (which is the reason for curved magazines, to allow for the round to feed properly). It also features a typical charging handle, instead of the wind-up handle on the real G11.

The "CARV.2" appears shorter and slightly taller than the G11, with a carrying handle instead of the G11's integrated optic, and a rail where the real G11's magazine resides. The handguard is moulded, and the barrel is vented, presumably a way of alleviating the problems the G11 had with its barrel heating up during operation, as there are no brass shells to take the heat out of the rifle. The fire selector is further forward than the real G11, but still features semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto, although the rifle is not able to fire in semi-auto or full-auto in gameplay. A more true to the real thing handguard is available as the ''22.5" Task Force'' barrel attachment.

==CETME Model C==
The [[CETME Model C]] was added in Season 4 as the "C58", noted due to its slightly curved magazine.

The "SASR Jungle Grip" gives it a similar pistol grip to the [[Heckler & Koch PSG-1]], and the "Raider Stock" also resembles a PSG-1 stock. The "CQB Stock" is a sliding design similar to the [[G3A4]].

Interestingly, one of the magazine options is a caliber conversion (the first such attachment in the game), using 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in a fictional 60-round drum; oddly, the only thing this does is decrease the damage in exchange for a larger-than-normal magazine, with no impact on fire rate, recoil, muzzle velocity, etc. This is not the case for the Warzone counterpart, as that one instead has a 55-round drum option that retains the base 7.62x51mm ammunition.

The curved "25 Rnd Speed" and "Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag" resemble the anachronistic [[Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG-1#PTR_rifle_series|PTR 32]] magazines, albeit without the modern plastics. The "18.7" Reinforced Heavy Barrel" will give it a handguard resembling that of an [[IMI Romat]]'s while the "18.2" Takedown" to its predecessor the Model B. "15.6" Ultralight" and "18.7" Ranger" will give it a handguard resembling that of a Model E.

==Enfield EM-2==
A stylised arctic model [[Enfield EM-2]] was added in season five. It features its built in scope by default. When equipped for the first time, the character properly presses the fire selector button to switch the weapon to full-auto mode. It is correctly referred as firing .280 British in Warzone and in the names of some of the muzzle attachments. While not anachronistic, its usage by anyone in the 80s is extremely unlikely due to only 59 examples being ever produced.

==FAMAS Hybrid==
The "FFAR 1" is a weapon based on the [[FAMAS Valorisé]] combined with a trigger guard and magazine well from FAMAS G2 (both of which would be anachronistic to the game), with some visual features similar to the "FFAR" from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]''. The default magazine correctly holds 25 rounds instead of 30 like in past ''Call of Duty'' games.

In the game's lore it appears that this weapon is the successor of the FAMAS from the first ''Black Ops'' game and predecessor to the "FFAR" from ''Black Ops III''.

==FARA 83==
The [[FARA 83]] was added in Season 2 with the metal stock, marking its first appearance in a video game. The flash hider is of a different design to the real weapon and some sort of gas block is mounted underneath the front sight, which is absent on the real weapon.

The "Tactical Stock" uses the real fixed stock of the FARA. Oddly, the weapon features some AK stock, with the East German coat hangar AK stock as the "Wire Stock" and a [[Norinco Type 56-2|Type 56-2]] stock as the "Duster Stock".

==IMI Galil ARM==
The [[IMI Galil ARM]] was added in Season 6, and is called the "Grav" like in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]''. It has an [[AS Val]] stock and a slightly shorter barrel by default, but can be fitted with a longer barrel in Gunsmith.

==K31==
The [[K31 Rifle]] was added to the sniper rifles category in Season 3, under the name "Swiss K31". It has a shortened barrel by default, though the “24.9" Extended” barrel attachment gives it the correct barrel length.

The Warzone incarnation of the K31 is correctly chambered in 7.5x55mm. Despite this, some barrel attachment make it seem like the weapon fires .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, which would be incorrect.

==M14==
The [[M14]] appears in the game as the "DMR 14". It sports a synthetic stock (though equipping the Duster Pad stock gives it a chequered wooden stock), fires semi-automatically, and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer.

==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] appears under the "tactical rifles" class. It is simply referred to as the "M16" in the HUD, but actually has "M16.A2" markings on the magwell. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine, and the pin for the auto sear on the lower receiver is absent, which in reality would prevent the rifle from firing in bursts. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as the M16A2 was not adopted for service yet, first being adopted in 1983 by the USMC and in 1986 by the Army. Rather than removing the carry handle as in previous Black Ops games, it uses an anachronistic carry handle rail when equipping optics. Said carry handle rail appears to be a modern 1913 rail attached using a clamp and screw system from a Colt 3x or 4x AR-15 scope somehow mated together. The weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

The M16's alternate barrel options include “16.3" Rapid Fire”, “20.5" Cavalry Lancer”, “16.3" Titanium”, “20.2" Takedown”, and “15.9" Strike Team”; of these, the 20.5" barrel options are visually just the default barrel but fluted ("Cavalry Lancer") or dimpled ("Takedown"). For the short barrel options, the "Rapid Fire" and "Strike Team" both give the gun a short triangular handguard (the difference is that "Rapid Fire" has a smooth barrel while "Strike Team"'s is fluted), while "Titanium" gives the gun a short round handguard, the end result somewhat resembling a Colt Model 723 14.5" A1 barrel.

The M16's stock options include "Tactical Stock", the normal M16A2 stock with a cheek pad, "Wire Stock", an M231 FPW-like wire stock, "Duster Stock", a Doublestar Ace skeleton stock (which might be anachronistic), "Commando Assembly", a 2nd generation collapsible stock, and "Buffer Tube", an exposed buffer tube with a rubber pad.

Magazine options include the classic ''Black Ops'' jungle-style fast mags made with either duct tape or clamps, a 30-round STANAG magazine depicted as a 45-rounder, a 20-round STANAG magazine with an improvised duct tape magazine assists somehow also depicted as a 45-rounder, and a 54-round magazine (which also appears on the in-game XM4, where it holds 50 rounds).

===Colt XM4 Carbine===
The combination of the “16.3" Titanium” barrel attachment with the "Commando Assembly" stock attachment approximates the [[M4 Carbine|XM4 Carbine]], sans the proper stepped barrel.

==Norinco QBZ-95-1==
An anachronistic [[Norinco QBZ-95-1]] rifle appears in the game, featuring several retro-styled cosmetic alterations. It was briefly seen in the Gunsmith trailer, labeled the "Type 15", but the name was changed to "QBZ-83" in the Beta. The Type 95's development began in 1989, with the first prototypes being made in 1990. The in-game weapon bears some cosmetic resemblances to [http://www.163.com/dy/article/EK33QH8D05355H7O.html some of the Type 95's early prototypes], but is still clearly based on the QBZ-95-1, which began its development in 2004 and was adopted in 2010.

The side of the gun is marked with "T97NSR-PWC-CAL 5.56 mm"; T97NSR refers to a semi-auto only civilian variant of the 5.56mm QBZ-97A sold in Canada named Type 97 NSR. This likely suggests that Treyarch modeled the gun after a Type 97 NSR then modified it to make it resemble a Chinese QBZ-95 (with its distinct magazine shape and paddle magazine release) and "retro-ified" it. Some of its muzzle attachments also have "5.56" as part of their names, though it is unclear if this is an intentional reference to the QBZ-97 connections or a result of the generally confused state of attachment name/descriptions in ''BOCW''; its Warzone incarnation is also supposedly chambered in 5.56 NATO.

The "QBZ-83" name would suggest that it was adopted in 1983 in the ''Black Ops'' universe which would still be anachronistic to the pre-83 maps.

[[File:QBZ95-1preview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In Gunsmith, the Canadian Type 97 NSR markings are more easily seen. The space between the pistol grip and the magazine well is marked with the Chinese text "83式自动步枪" (Pinyin: 83 shì zì dòng bù qiāng), which means "Type 83 automatic rifle". The word "中国" (Pinyin: zhōng guó), meaning "China", can also be faintly seen marked on the magazine well. The rear of the stock is ''very'' faintly marked with what's apparently "梦想" (Pinyin: mèng xiǎng), or "dream". Also note that the fire selector only has safe/fire positions like a civilian model.]]

==Norinco Type 63==
The [[Norinco Type 63]] is available in the game, classified as a "tactical rifle". Despite being select-fire in reality, it is restricted to semi-automatic mode in-game; the spike bayonet is also unusable. It uses what appears to be an anachronistic M14 rifle style rail mount when equipping optics. The default magazine initially held a correct 20 rounds in the closed alpha, but this was increased to an incorrect 25 in the beta and final game.

Player character Bell and Woods use this rifle in "Redlight, Greenlight" instead of a more appropriate American M14.

==OTs-14 Groza==
A stylized [[OTs-14 Groza]] with a shortened receiver was added to the game in Season 1. It is anachronistic, as the real weapon was produced in 1992. It feeds from 5.45x39mm style magazines, something which is not confirmed to have existed on a real Groza, but is actually used on a Groza-inspired bullpup AK pistol developed in the late 2010s by US-based Bad Element Co. In contrast, its Warzone incarnation is stated to be chambered in "7.62 Soviet" (i.e. 7.62x39mm), and some of its muzzle attachments have "7.62" as part of their name.

[[File:Grozapreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Groza in the battlepass preview screen.

=="RAI K-84"==
The "RAI K-84" (standing for "Reactorniy Avtomat-Izluchatel Kuhlklay-84", translated "Reactor Automatic Radiator Kuhlklay-84") is a "Wonder Weapon" in the Zombies map Firebase Z released during Season 1. It is based on an [[AK-74]] with the depiction of a milled receiver; such a configuration exists on the Waffen Werks WW-74M, a US-made semi-automatic rifle, though the in-game weapon has two rivets at the rear like the stamped receiver of a standard AK-74. It is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher called the "GP-6K2" and modeled after a [[GP-25]].

[[File:BOCWRAIKReload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At least reloading the weapon shows more careful finger placement. As a bit of trivia, intel in the map notes that the RAI K-84 was based off of a "Generator Khaosa Zavoyski-45" weapon that was developed in-universe in WWII. This is a reference to the otherwise completely fictional "GKZ-45 Mark3" Wonder Weapon from the ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'' map Gorod Krovi, implying the RAI K is a successor to it. This is backed up by it operating like a more powerful version of the GKZ; a powerful laser bolt firing weapon with a secondary, grenade-type fire that explodes when shot at with the former.]]

==Steyr AUG A1==
The [[Steyr AUG A1]] appears in the game as the "AUG" and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer. It incorrectly fires in three-round bursts, a feature of the much later (2005) AUG A3. Its foregrip is folded by default, but it can be unfolded via the "Field Agent foregrip"; it also has some rail-mounted foregrip options. Like the M16A2, the weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

For some reason, Soviet troops use this weapon in the side-mission "Operation Red Circus," which is incorrect.

===Steyr AUG A2===
Equipping any optical attachments turns the weapon into an anachronistic [[Steyr AUG A2|AUG A2]].

==XM16E1==
The fully-automatic [[XM16E1]] appears exclusively in the campaign. It is labeled "M16A1" in the HUD and on the magwell (though the pick-up text spells it with a lowercase "a", for some reason), but it actually has the appearance of a 'faux' XM16E1, as seen in some movies where the guns are built from M16A1s. This is firstly evidenced by the combination of an XM16E1's 3-prong flash hider with an M16A1's full fence lower. The weapon also appears to have a chrome bolt carrier, which was present on the XM16E1, but not on the M16A1. For some reason, the XM16E1 has an anachronistic A2 pistol grip, while the XM4 has a A1 pistol grip.

In a small though somewhat confusing detail, the receiver bears a forge code mark, C H. This would indicate a rifle with an upper receiver built from Harvey Aluminum billets, but this code would have been in use from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, well after Vietnam and never on an actual XM16E1 (though M16A1s were made with this code). Due to the nature of the game's storyline, this could be justified as intentional anachronism, however.

It appears in the two Vietnam flashback levels, as well as a few other missions where it is available alongside the M16A2. It is incredibly powerful, as the weapon's damage was balanced for occasional bursts rather than consistent fully-auto firing, made even easier with the game's rather controllable muzzle climb. It uses the same reloading animations as the M16A2, but has a different firing sound. It is also seen in the "Good Enough" calling card.

[[File:XM16E1 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds an XM16E1 in a Vietnamese village.]]

==XM177E1==
The [[XM177E1]], specifically the later model with a full fence lower, appears under the name "XM4". It is depicted with a flat top, seeming to be the result of a chopped off carry handle with a bolted rail (which was done in the 1980s by Olympic Arms and some other manufacturers). It has an anachronistic rear sight which is a hybrid between the Troy Battle Sight and Midway Industries Flip Up Sight, and the flash hider has been altered to resemble an A1. It also appears to have been based on a civilian model, as it has semi-auto only selector markings (Fire/Safe).

The weapon is wrapped in slings with a portion tucked behind the bolt catch like the "Commando" from the first ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]'', although the default empty reload animation in this case correctly uses the charging handle instead of trying to hit the bolt release, which couldn't possibly work with a cloth strap tucked behind it (that said, some reload animations, like the jungle mags reload animation, still involve hitting the sling-padded bolt catch). Equipping any stock customization removes the sling wrap. Mounting optics removes the front sight but keeps the gas block.

The XM4 designation is anachronistic for the time period of 1981, as the XM177 wouldn't be designated as "XM4" until 1983, and even then would be attached to an [http://www.imfdb.org/images/2/2a/XM4_Carbine_%26_M16A2_%281982%29.jpg improved model of the XM177E2]. The A1 pistol grip is inaccurately depicted as being solid instead of hollow.

The "Black Tide" blueprint replaces the regular handguard with a carbine-length [[M203]] grenade launcher heat shield; it also has a yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint similar to the [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] used by "The Roach" in ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''. The "Giantsbane" variant uses an anachronistic [[Z-M LR 300]] handguard and front sight (the LR 300 having been introduced in 2000). It is also seen in the "Reaper Of The Dead" calling card.

The "Inconspicuous" blueprint uses the M16A2's upper receiver, while retaining the XM177E1's earlier teardrop forward assist, however. It has an [[Olympic Arms OA-93]] style handguard with vents patterned after the Advanced Armament Corporation OMNI suppressor, an Israeli style elastic handguard band, what appears to be a faux suppressor, a tactical light, a stock cheek pad and a [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War#SureFire MAG5-60|SureFire MAG5-60]] magazine. The "Fly Trap" blueprint has an A2 handguard, an A2 pistol grip, and an A2 forward assist. The "Ultimate Hunter" has an anachronistic quad rail handguard, a muzzle brake with a breach face, a scope with some cosmetic similarities to a Trijicon ACOG, and a collapsible stock modelled after various offerings from the late 2000's onwards.

=Sniper Rifles=
==Accuracy International PM/AW Hybrid==
The "LW3 - Tundra" is a hybrid of the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Precision Marksman|Accuracy International Precision Marksman]] and the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Arctic Warfare|Arctic Warfare]], along with some fictional elements. It has a Precision Marksman-style stock, and lacks a finger cutout in the magwell like this model, but has the safety of an Arctic Warfare (incorrectly set to the rear position, which would lock the bolt and the trigger), as well as an adjustable cheek pad and a flash hider like the latter. Curiously enough, it also uses Picatinny rails like the AW, but with a PM-like scope mount and backup rear sight used on it. The rifle is mildly anachronistic, as the Precision Marksman wasn't developed until 1982 and the Arctic Warfare wasn't developed until 1988, while the campaign takes place in 1981 and multiplayer takes place between 1981-1985. The name Tundra suggests it was intended to be based off of the Artic Warfare, but they went with PM elements to keep it to the multiplayer's time period.

==Barrett M82A1M==
The [[Barrett M82A1M]] appears in the game as the "M82". It is anachronistic to the game, since it was developed in the 1990s; the original M82 would be more accurate for some multiplayer maps. To balance out its semiautomatic firing mode, the M82A1M is comically the ''weakest'' sniper rifle in terms of per-shot damage, not even able to break the bulletproof armor scorestreak in one shot. Due to the lack of a Soviet sniper rifle, the Soviet forces use the Barrett as their sniper, which is incorrect.

==Mechem NTW-20==
The [[Mechem NTW-20]] was added in the Season 2 Reloaded update as the "ZRG 20mm". It is heavily stylized and fitted with a PSO-1 scope with incorrect reticle by default. It is also far shorter than the real weapon, making the weapon shorter then the in-game Barrett M82A1M, despite the NTW-20 being roughly twice the length of the Barrett. It is anachronistic by more than a decade (1998) and is set up for left-handed use, with the magazine and bolt handle on the right and left side respectively, opposite what it should be.

==Remington 700PSS==
The [[Remington 700PSS]] appears as the "Pelington 703", complete with a permanently attached Harris bipod (which can be deployed by equipping the "Front Grip" or "Bipod" underbarrel attachments). Like the M40 and R700 rifles in ''[[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]]'', it is reloaded with individual rounds. It is anachronistic for the game as it was designed in 1986 while the 80s segments of ''Black Ops Cold War'' take place in 1981-1985; the scope also mounts on an anachronistic rail. It also appears in Bell's Vietnam War false flashbacks, fitted with a wooden stock and is depicted as being used by the US troops, though it is likely standing in for a standard Remington 700 in this case. Its Warzone incarnation is stated to use .308 ammunition (most likely Winchester).

==CETME Ameli==
The late NB model [[CETME Ameli]] was added in Season 4. It is inaccurately fitted with an early NA variant flash hider. It appears under the Spanish Army's designation "MG 82".

==M134 Minigun==
A handheld [[M134 Minigun]] is featured in the game. It is shown with a 4-flange barrel clamp (like an original General Electric M134) combined with a Dillon Aero flash hider. It is obtainable in the campaign mission "The Final Countdown", under the name "M134 Minigun". It was later added to multiplayer and Zombies in Season 2 as the "Death Machine".

It also appears mounted on helicopters, including the "Chopper Gunner" scorestreak in multiplayer, and as part of the "Sentry Turret" scorestreak. A helicopter-mounted version can be used by Bell during a setpiece in "Fracture Jaw".

==="Death Machine" (Dead Ops Arcade 3)===
The "Death Machine" model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'', a futuristic man-portable rotary gun based on the [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]], appears exclusively as a power-up in the Zombies map Dead Ops Arcade 3: Rise of the Mamaback.

[[File:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|450px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]

==M60==
The [[M60 machine gun|M60]] is one of the machine guns in ''BOCW''; it is the original model, as opposed to the M60E3 featured in past games.

A mounted version can also be found in "End of the Line". It is also seen in the "Harvest Time" calling card.

==RPD==
The [[RPD]] appears under its real name, with an incorrect disintegrating ammunition belt. The "Fast Mag" reload animation shows the RPD reload in a unique manner by having the new belt pulled through the closed top cover, whereas the default reload involves using the feed tray cover.

In the campaign, it is used by Soviet forces in 1981, at a time when it had already been phased out in favor of the [[PKM]] and the [[RPK-74]].

==Stoner 63A==
The [[Stoner 63A]] is available in-game. Its in-game configuration primarily matches the Commando configuration, feeding from the right and featuring a bottom cocking handle. By default, it has a long barrel generally associated with the LMG configuration, though it can be modified with a Commando barrel via the “16" SOR Cut Down” attachment; this is a rather strange name, given that the Commando-length barrel was a factory option. A few Soviet heavies in the campaign are seen using these instead of the more faction-appropriate RPD.

The gun can use a 100-round drum modeled after the real gun's left-feeding 100-round drum, mirrored to feed from the right instead of the left (and also featuring some cosmetic differences). The gun also has a fictional 125-round box option.

==FIM-43 Redeye==
The [[FIM-43 Redeye]] appears under the name "Cigma 2". Despite being a dedicated MANPADS in reality, the weapon can still be fired even without a lock-on and against ground targets.

[[File:BOCW M67.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A M67 frag grenade in the "Lethal" equipment section.]]

==M83 smoke grenade==
An anachronistic M83 instead of the period-appropriate AN/M8 HC smoke grenades are carried by Sims and US troops in "Fracture Jaw".
[[File:M87.JPG|thumb|none|200px|M83 TA smoke grenade]]

==M84 stun grenade==
An [[M84 stun grenade]] is carried by Woods in the campaign and is seen in cinematics. The same fictionalized M84 from ''Modern Warfare'' is also carried by multiplayer operator Zeyna. It is anachronistic as it was used from 1995 in reality.

==Rheinmetall MK13 Mod 0 BTV-EL flash grenade==
MK 13 flashbang grenades are carried by US troops in cutscenes and are seen on the default skins for multiplayer operators Adler and Song and Naga's "Warlord" skin. Most likely anachronistic.

Seven unusable [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be seen on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map, right behind the Kingtiger tank.

Unusable [[RGD-5]] grenades are visible on the harness of multiplayer operators Portnova and Garcia and on Naga's "Warlord" skin.
[[File:Rdg5.jpg|thumb|none|160px|RGD-5 High-Explosive Fragmentation hand grenade]]

==Simulator Hand Grenade M116A1==
The [[M116A1 training grenade|Simulator Hand Grenade M116A1]] appears as the "Flashbang". In reality, this is a training grenade and not an actual combat device.
[[File:M116a1pullcord.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Simulator Hand Grenade M116A1 with pullcord fuse]]
[[File:M116A1Flashbang BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M116A1 in the operator loadout menu.]]

==TM-46 anti-tank mine==
A cosmetically modified [[TM-46 anti-tank mine]] appears as the "Proximity Mine" field upgrade.

[[File:BOCW Prox Mine.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Proximity Mine on the ground.]]

==Type 67 Stick Grenade==
Several unusable Chinese [[Type 67 stick grenade|Type 67 Grenades]] are seen on the Vietcong guerillas found in the campaign. In the multiplayer, an operator skin for Baker can be purchased with Season 2, which also has two Type 67 Stick Grenades attached to the belt.

=Mounted Weapons=
==8.8 cm Flak 37==
Bell destroys several Flak 37s in "The Final Countdown". It is inaccurately depicted as being mounted on Czechoslovakian type carriage and mount.
[[Image:FlaK37.jpg|thumb|none|400px|8.8 cm FlaK 37 (note the pointer dials, the rectangular boxes on the side of the gun cradle with two circles) - 88x571mm R]]

[[File:BOCW-Flak2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As evident from this image, the combination of a much larger Flak 37 with the ZK.453 carriage is dubious to work in reality as the latter is obviously designed for a smaller weapon.]]

==30mm ZK.453==
In "Red Light, Green Light", some 30mm ZK.453 anti-aircraft guns can be seen.
[[File:BOCW-AAZK1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Browning M2 Aircraft==
Five bent [[Browning M2 Aircraft]] Machine Guns in fixed and flexible mount are seen on a crashed Boeing B17 "Flying Fortress" on the Zombies map "Die Maschine". This bomber is first seen during the "Nacht der Untoten" cutscene from ''[[Call of Duty: World at War|World at War]]''.

==DShKM Heavy Machine Gun==
A [[DShK Heavy Machine Gun|DShKM Heavy Machine Gun]] appears to be mounted gunboats, tanks and bunkers in multiplayer and also on the ''Slava''-class, and inappropriately, the ''Ticonderoga''-class cruisers on the map Armada. It can be used in the campaign mission "Redlight, Greenlight", mounted on an APC.
[[File:DShK HMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|DShKM - 12.7x108mm]]

==General Electric M61 Vulcan==
F-14A Tomcats, armed with [[M61 Vulcan]] cannons, are seen taking off from a ''Nimitz''-class carrier in the reveal trailer. The carrier also sports Vulcan cannons in CIWS installations.

==MG34==
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II "Königstiger" heavy tank on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map has a hull-mounted [[MG34]].
[[File:Mg34hb.jpg|thumb|none|450px|MG34 Panzerlauf with stock fitted - 7.92x57mm Mauser]]
[[File:BOCW-MG34Panzerlauf.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The hull-mounted MG34. It appears that the weapon plus the entire tank model are reused from ''Black Ops III''.]]

==MG42==
An [[MG42]] with a drum magazine appears only as an emplaced weapon in the Vietnam War flashback mission "Fracture Jaw". It is confirmed that the MG34 was used in Vietnam as military aid from the Soviet Union which had captured stockpiles from WWII thus the appearance of the MG42 in this context is also plausible.

==Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23==
The "VTOL Escort" (Modeled after the Yak-38) has two [[Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23]] autocannons mounted in underwing UPK-23 gunpods. While the pod itself is correctly modeled, it is incorrectly depicted as a flexible aiming system (independent from the Yak's nose direction) due to gameplay reasons and controls. It is also seen mounted with an NPPU-23 helicopter turret inaccurately onto a Mi-8 helicopter piloted by Kravchenko in "Mauer Der Toten".
[[File:GSh-23-2.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Grayzev-Shipunov GSh-23 with ammo belt - 23x115mm]]

=Other=
==Super Bazooka==
A Super Bazooka is seen in Vietnam War archival footage in the intro of "Fracture Jaw".

==150 lb Crossbow==
A 150 lb crossbow similar to those by Velocity Archery and Wizard Archery appears as the "R1 Shadowhunter". Those designs are most likely anachronistic.
[[File:R1crossbowpreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The "R1 Shadowhunter" in the gunsmith preview menu.]]

==Beretta 92F==
A [[Beretta 92F]] is seen on a movie poster in the map "Amerika".

==Tippman 98 Custom==
A store display of paintball guns can be seen in the map "Rush" from Season 4 Reloaded. The [[Air Guns#Tippmann 98 Custom|Tippmann 98 Custom]] is one of those paintball guns. It is anachronistic as it was released in 1998.
[[Image:Tippmann 98 Custom.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Tippmann 98 Custom Paintball Marker - .62 caliber]]

==Tippmann X7 G36==
The map Rush from Season 4's mid-season update has Tippmann X7 G36 paintball guns in a glass display case. It is anachronistic as the G36 series of rifles on which it is based were introduced in the late 90s.
[[File:Tippmann X7 G36.jpg|thumb|450px|none|A Tippmann X7 G36 paintball gun.]]

==M1 Garand==

==M114 155 mm howitzer==
M114 155 mm howitzers are seen in firebase Ripcord in the mission "Fracture Jaw". The "Artillery" scorestreak also consists of a barrage from M114 155 mm howitzers.

[[file:MatchlockMusket.jpg|thumb|none|450px|European Matchlock musket.]]

==Mosin-Nagant M91/30==
A scoped [[Mosin-Nagant M91/30]] is seen in the "Power Killer" calling card.
[[file:M9130-Sniper-PE.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Mosin Nagant M1891/30 Sniper Rifle with PE scope - 7.62x54mm R]]
[[File:BOCW-MosinCard.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rifle is equipped with a PEM sniper scope instead of the better-known PU scope.]]

==Recurve Bow==
A recurve bow which appears to be based on [[Rambo]]'s bows appears in the campaign and as a scorestreak in multiplayer. It is inaccurately depicted as being usable underwater which doesn't hinder in any way the arrow's movement nor the flame of the fire arrows.

==Valmet M76F==
A [[Valmet M76F]] is seen in the City Ripper bundle picture.
[[File:ValmetM76F.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Valmet M76F with side folding tubular stock - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

[[L85A2]] rifles are seen in the "Hardcore Kill Collector" calling card.

==M2 Flamethrower (modified)==
A modified [[M2 Flamethrower]] was added as a scorestreak with Season 5. It consists of the gun group with added custom smaller fuel tanks, modified muzzle and a stock. Its icon shows it consisting of a normal M2 wand paired with M9 fuel tanks.

[[File:M9 with M2 wand.jpg|thumb|none|400px|M9 Flamethrower with M2 wand]]

=="Marshal 16"==
The fictional [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III#"Marshal 16"|"Marshal 16"]] from ''Black Ops III'' appears as the "Classic Marshal" charm.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser". While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.
[[File:P08Luger1917.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Luger P08 - 9x19mm. This is a 1917 dated handgun, thus it is a World War One firearm.]]

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name in the Gunsmith instead). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[File:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎|thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapon's performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1.
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player character locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.
[[File:Sten.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk II - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper "Trench Gun" barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action and semi-automatic rifles fitted with scopes by default.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.
[[File:Fedorovavtomat.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Fedorov Avtomat - 6.5x50mm Arisaka]]

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The "fast mag" Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumor based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine".
[[File:Hyde 1944 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hyde 1944 Carbine - .30 Carbine]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

[[File: VanguardM9130ProperBarrel(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the M1891/30 Mosin Nagant with no scope.]]

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII''. When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, not to mention that such smaller muzzles and suppressors would just be destroyed by that caliber in reality.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player character also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags", and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player character holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, and is classified as an assault rifle. The gun is select-fire in-game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings of the real M1918A2 and is instead portrayed with a semi/full-auto selector, similarly to the original M1918 (though the full-auto mode in-game has the slow rate of fire rather than the M1918's fast one). The in-game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the "8mm Klauser" magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in ".50 BMG", a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare (2019).

Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had its flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name instead in-game). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser.” While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[Image:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎ |thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapons performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1.
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

[[File: VanguardMP41(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the MP41.]]

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===
The "Empress 140mm Rapid" barrel and the "Ovalevskaya Skeletal" stock turn the PPSh-41 into an anachronistic [[K-50M]].

[[File:CoDVanguard-PPShK-K50M1.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese. At the start of every reload, the ejector rod is correctly used to remove the last spent shell.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer (it is the only non-pistol that can be dual-wielded) and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper “Trench Gun” barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action rifles.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.
[[File:Fedorovavtomat.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Fedorov Avtomat - 6.5x50mm Arisaka]]

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The “fast mag” Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumour based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine".
[[File:Hyde 1944 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hyde 1944 Carbine - .30 Carbine]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII''. When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, not to mention that such smaller muzzles and suppressors would just be destroyed by that caliber in reality.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope. Oddly, despite being explicitly referred to as the "SVT-40 PU" scope (even when mounted to other weapons), the scope is mounted using a Mosin-Nagant scope mount instead of the one meant for the SVT-40.]]

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags," and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

[[Image:RP46.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RP-46 - 7.62x54mm R]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, classified as an assault rifle in game. The gun is select fire in game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings and retains the semi/full auto selector like that of the original BAR. The in game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the ‘8mm Klauser” magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in “.50 BMG,” a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare 2019.
Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

Unlike previous Call of Duty games, rear iron sight notches can be switched out and changed in the Gunsmith. The WWI-style of sights is an unlock.]]

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had it’s flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval gun==
German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

The [[Type 96 light machine gun|Type 96 LMG]] is briefly seen during the ending cutscene of the Bougainville mission. Despite this, it does not actually appear during gameplay; the mounted machine guns are for whatever reason [[MG42]]s.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name instead in-game). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser.” While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[Image:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎ |thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapons performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1.
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].
[[File:Sten MkI.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sten Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese. At the start of every reload, the ejector rod is correctly used to remove the last spent shell.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper “Trench Gun” barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action rifles.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.
[[File:Fedorovavtomat.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Fedorov Avtomat - 6.5x50mm Arisaka]]

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The “fast mag” Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumour based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine".
[[File:Hyde 1944 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hyde 1944 Carbine - .30 Carbine]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII''. When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, not to mention that such smaller muzzles and suppressors would just be destroyed by that caliber in reality.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

[[File:Vanguardas44stalingradnormal1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Initial equip animation with a standard AS-44 gives a good view of the right side of the gun.]]

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags," and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, classified as an assault rifle in game. The gun is select fire in game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings and retains the semi/full auto selector like that of the original BAR. The in game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the ‘8mm Klauser” magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in “.50 BMG,” a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare 2019.
Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had it’s flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==No. 77 Mk. II Grenade==
The [[No. 77 Smoke Grenade]] MkII was added with Season One as the "Incendiary Grenade".
[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War''''' is a first-person shooter developed by Treyarch and Raven Software and published by Activision. It is the sixth game in the ''Black Ops'' series and the seventeenth in the ''Call of Duty'' series. It is also a direct sequel to ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops]]''. Like previous games in the series, it is composed of three main modes of play, a single-player campaign, a player-vs-player multiplayer mode, and a 1-4 player cooperative zombies mode. The campaign's setting takes place primarily in 1981 with several flashbacks dating to 1968 during the Vietnam War, and the zombies and multiplayer mode take place simultaneously in 1984, hence, certain weapons are available in these modes that aren't present in the campaign because of the time difference. The player character is a new, customizable operative codenamed "Bell", who is part of a CIA task force, including Alex Mason, Frank Woods, and Jason Hudson, out to stop a Soviet agent codenamed "Perseus" (based on the real-life conspiracy) from carrying out a decades-long plan that could radically alter the balance of power of the Cold War.

__TOC__ 

=Overview=
''Black Ops Cold War'' maintains several weapon features from the 2019 ''Modern Warfare'', including Gunsmith and the ability to reload while aiming down sights.

The game features an extensive swimming and underwater mechanic which inaccurately depicts weapons as being able to be fired underwater, something which would lead to malfunctions and possible complete weapon failures (i.e. exploded barrels) in reality. Also, bullet velocities for most of the weapon are much slower in-game than in real life, and some weapons unrealistically share the same velocities despite their different calibers and designs.

While Gunsmith offers a wide variety of attachments to equip, it lacks several features from ''Modern Warfare''. It also features some ''staggeringly'' poor attachment descriptions filled with inaccuracies and misused terms. For example, STANAG is used as a catch-all term for extended magazines, despite the real usage being almost the exact opposite of such an idea.

Weapons from ''Black Ops Cold War'' also make appearances in ''Call of Duty: Warzone'', a standalone battle royale game mode originally released for (and developed on) ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)]]''. While most weapons are identical between BOCW and ''Warzone'', a number of weapons, especially the ones added post-release, have more detailed animations in ''Warzone''. More rarely, some BOCW weapons have different weapon models when implemented in ''Warzone''.

=Handguns=
==Beretta 93R==
The [[Beretta 93R]] appears under the name "Diamatti". It holds 15 rounds by default, despite having a visibly extended magazine. It also has a slightly shorter barrel by default; the “7.2" Reinforced Heavy” barrel attachment gives it a more correct barrel length, though this one is shown as fluted. Soviet forces use it in the campaign (which is incorrect), along with Alex Mason in "Echoes of a Cold War".

==Colt M1911A1==
The [[Colt M1911A1]] is featured in the game, simply referred to as "1911" and featuring a nickel finish similar to the multiplayer 1911 weapon model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]''. In the campaign, it is the main sidearm of almost everyone, including the Soviet and North Vietnamese forces, who would much more likely use the [[Makarov PM]] or [[Tokarev TT-33]] as their sidearms. It incorrectly holds 8 rounds in a standard 7-round magazine.
In alpha, beta, and pre-release materials, the M1911 appears with a parkerized finish and brown grips. The "Wingman" skin from the "Air Sea Land Pack" for the Ultimate Edition is also an M1911A1, featuring a paint-job similar to that of the P-51 Mustang fighters during WWII. The M1911A1 is also used in the Overpower finishing move.

==Desert Eagle==
An anachronistic and visually altered [[Desert Eagle]] fitted with a Laser Products Corporation LPC Model 7 laser sight and an enormous muzzle brake appears as the "Hand Cannon" in the campaign mission "Desperate Measures". Inspiration for the weapon appears to come from the laser sighted [[AMT Hardballer]] from ''[[The Terminator]]''. Perhaps taking its moniker a little too literally, it fires explosive rounds. The campaign version feeds from an 8-round magazine (which could or could not be correct, its caliber never being stated) and cannot be reloaded; once all eight rounds have been fired, it is discarded.

It was added as the "Hand Cannon" streak in Season 4, with 10 extremely powerful explosive rounds that can take out any streak you can shoot in one to four shots. It is the primary weapon of choice for the "One in the Chamber" gamemode. Its scorestreak icon shows an even more anachronistic picatinny railed Mark XIX than the Mark VII it is based on. The laser is now green, and aiming uses ironsights mounted on top of the laser. Its role is similar to the "Annihilator" revolver from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III|BO3]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]'', even reusing the sounds from those games for the "Annihilator".

[[File:BOCWDeagle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds the Hand Cannon as he awaits enemy forces about to barge into the room. Here the laser sight can be seen more clearly.]]

==Glock 18C==
Three unusable [[Glock 18C]] pistols can be seen hanging on a wall on the multiplayer map "Checkmate". Their appearance is anachronistic as the map takes place in January 1985, while the Glock 18 was produced in 1986 - the 3rd Generation variants were introduced after 1998. A Glock pistol is also seen in the "Grizzled Veteran Master" calling card.
[[File:Glock 18C.jpg|thumb|none|300px|Glock 18C (3rd Generation) - 9x19mm. This model has compensator cuts on the slide and barrel to reduce muzzle climb while firing.]]
[[File:BOCW-Glock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The pistol in a highly unlikely place to be found, an East German training facility. Despite having the 18C's compensator cuts, the slide markings label it as a standard Glock 18.]]

=="Magnum"==
The "Magnum" is a fictional hybrid revolver that appears to have some influence from a variety of revolvers such as [[Smith & Wesson#Revolvers|Smith & Wesson]], [[Ruger#Revolvers|Ruger]], [[Arminius HW Revolver Series|Arminius]], Alfa, [[Astra#Revolvers|Astra]] and the [[Colt Trooper]]. The rear of the frame and the angle of the grip give it a strong resemblance to the G&G G733 airsoft revolver. The names of some of its muzzle attachments suggest that it is chambered in .45 ACP (misnamed ".45 APC"); this would contradict both the "Magnum" name, and its Warzone incarnation's stated chambering (.357 Magnum). Like other revolvers in previous ''Black Ops'' games, it is reloaded with single rounds by default, and still has the reload logic errors of the player character reloading only the rounds needed to refill the cylinder in gameplay despite the reload animation showing the entire cylinder being ejected.

The Magnum can also accept a suppressor, even though it almost certainly wouldn't work on the revolver in reality due to the gap between the cylinder, which would leak enough propellant gases to render the suppressor useless. The Magnum also has nonsensical 9-round and 12-round cylinders as attachment options; these cylinders are completely identical to the base cylinder dimensionally, with the amount of rounds held in them ''visibly'' remaining 6 rounds. They're only different in their shapes, being an unfluted cylinder and a [[Mateba]]-like hexagonal cylinder respectively. These cylinder options are also very incorrectly referred to as magazines in their attachment names.

The "Minted" blueprint gives the revolver a barrel that appears similar to the anachronistic [[Smith & Wesson Model 986]], while others give it a [[Dan Wesson]]-style heavy barrel.

[[File:Revolverpreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close up look of the "Magnum" in Gunsmith, showing its many design inspirations - the sights come from Smith & Wesson revolvers, the cylinder, hammer, trigger & trigger guard from a Colt Python, the barrel seems to be a mix between that of a Python and a Colt Trooper (complete with a partial underlug rather awkwardly merged into a full one), and a Ruger-style recoil shield; the latter is supposed to have the cylinder release mounted on it, but the designer instead decided to put a conventional Astra-esque cylinder release behind it, forcing them to rather awkwardly stretch the frame forward to fit both.]]

==Makarov PM==
Two [[Makarov PM]]s appear on Helen Park's "Scorched", "Bad Blood", "Hellion", and "Commando" outfits, as well as on Samantha Maxis' "Dark Aether" outfit and Portnova's "Handler" outfit. Aleksandra Valentina also carries a holstered one in the Zombies mode cutscenes.

==Sedgley Fist Gun==

=="Strife"==
The fictional "Strife" pistol from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|Black Ops 4]]'' can be seen on a table in the side mission "Operation Red Circus". Unusable and completely anachronistic to the game's setting, the gun was likely originally used as a placeholder during the mapping process that went overlooked and wasn't removed.

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] is used by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine.

[[File:BOCWMaschine-TT2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cameraman defends himself with a TT-33.]]

=="Tranquilizer Gun"==
A hybrid of a [[Ruger Mk II]] and a [[Welrod]] mocked up to be a tranquilizer pistol is used by Bell in the campaign. The detachable magazine holds 8 rounds, and the animations are reused from the M1911 listed above. The bolt from the Welrod is used as a slide when it locks back on an empty magazine, however, the weapon does not eject casings of any kind, which begs the question of what the slide actually does. Some sort of air canister is seen under the barrel, and the weapon makes noises comparable to compressed air being released, which makes sense.

=Submachine Guns=
==Heckler & Koch MP5K==
A [[Heckler & Koch MP5K]] with a collapsible stock and a threaded barrel is available as the "MP5". It has an aftermarket and anachronistic Vector Arms MP5K style handstop handguard with perforations instead of a vertical foregrip by default. It uses an HK claw mount with an anachronistic rail when equipping optics. It can be customized into a number of MP5 variants as seen below, having a wide latitude of barrel and stock configurations akin to ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]''.

While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, the MP5K is used by US troops in Bell's Vietnam War flashbacks, which is both inaccurate and anachronistic (the MP5K was developed in 1976, and while the standard MP5 was first developed in 1966, it didn't see any form of service in Vietnam until 1975 as the MP5SD with the Green Berets). In this case (along with certain other weapons in the Vietnam missions), it can somewhat be excused by the fact that these are false flashbacks mixed with hallucinations.

All blueprint variants of the MP5 have the same lower receiver as those of ''Modern Warfare'' (being based on the receiver of a [[PTR 9KT]], which is incredibly anachronistic to ''Cold War''), with the triangular parts still facing the opposite direction compared to real S-E-F lowers.

===Heckler & Koch MP5A3===
The weapon has some barrel attachments that turn it into a full-sized [[MP5A3]]. The “9.5" Extended” barrel has an original slimline handguard, while the “9.5" Ranger” has a "tropical" wide handguard.

===Heckler & Koch MP5SD2===
Combining either of the sound suppressors with the “9.5" Ranger” barrel configurations produces a [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD]] configuration. The “9.5" Extended” and “9.5" Reinforced Heavy” barrels also create an MP5SD with an alternate style of round handguard.

==Intratec TEC-9 Hybrid==
A mildly fictionalized [[Intratec TEC-9]] was added with season five. It is depicted with the bolt assembly and charging handle of an [[Interdynamic KG-9]], although it is shown firing from a closed bolt like an actual TEC-9. It also has the front sight of a [[PPSh-41]] and the stock of an Interdynamic MP-9, though the latter can be removed with the "No Stock" attachment. When equipping grip attachments, it uses the base of the factory grip with the actual grip chopped off and replaced with the grip attachment of choice.

It fires in semi-auto by default, but there are attachments that convert it into full-auto (the fire rate of which appears to be slower than in real life) and an inaccurate burst fire mode. It incorrectly holds 21 and 24 rounds (in multiplayer and Warzone respectively) in the actual 32-round magazine, presumably to prevent a burst from having less than 3 rounds.

In terms of chronology, while the earlier MP-9/KG-9 was produced from 1981 (thus being borderline period appropriate for the 1981-1985 multiplayer maps), the TEC-9 has the post-1987 rear sight, rendering it anachronistic for the game.

Dual TEC-9s are used by Perseus operative Kitsune in the season five cinematic trailer. The weapon is also seen in the "Harbinger Of Doom" calling card.

=="KSP 45"==
The "KSP 45" is a fictional 3-round burst submachine gun. It is primarily based on the [[Heckler & Koch UMP45]] with its boxy design, selector switch style, and similarly shaped rear sight, but takes other design cues from various Cold War-era submachine guns. It has an AR-like bolt release, a right-side charging handle, a vertical magazine well like the [[Walther MPL]], a [[Jatimatic]] like pistol grip, and an AK trigger guard with paddle magazine release. Notably, it also resembles the "MACHT 37" frankengun from ''[[Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain]]''. Its buttstock seems to combine the socket of a solid MP5 stock, the shape of one from Wieger StG-940 assault rifle, H&K G3 style sling attachment point and the foldability of the UMP stock; the "Tactical Stock" and "SAS Combat Stock" attachments swap this out for a [[PSG-1]]-style stock (without or with a cheek rest, respectively), while the "Wire Stock" attachment gives it a shortened Romanian [[Talk:Call_of_Duty:_Black_Ops_Cold_War#AK_Wire_Stock|AK wire stock]] and the "Duster Stock" gives it the proper UMP stock. Curiously, the "42 Rnd" and "48 Rnd STANAG" magazine attachments, while referred to as drums, are actually shrunken-down HK21 machine gun belt boxes with feed towers instead of belt feed openings; the "42 Rnd Speed Mag" and "SALVO 48 Rnd Fast Mag" are [[Spectre M4]]-esque quad stack mags (of the exact same size, with the only difference being the latter's cloth shroud).

Although it isn't normally written in all caps, "Ksp" is the Swedish abbreviation for "machine gun" (short for ''Kulspruta''); however, the trademarks on the right side of the "KSP 45" identify it as a "Kühn & Schmidt MP-U" and state that it is of West German origin. There is also a "WARNING REFER TO OWNER'S MANUAL" stamp above the fire selector, which is similar to the markings on nonmilitary UMPs and USCs.

It is also depicted as being used by a Vietcong guerilla in the "Brap Brap" calling card implying that it was used in Vietnam in the ''Black Ops'' universe, however, no H&K style weapons were used in the Vietnam War in reality.

==LAPA SM Modelo 3==
The [[LAPA SM Modelo 3]] was added during Season 6, under the name "LAPA" (an odd name, as LAPA is the manufacturer of the weapon). The SM Modelo 3 was a prototype weapon with only one example ever made rendering it virtually impossible to be used in any meaningful combat capacity.

=="LC10"==
The "LC10" is a fictional submachine gun that was added in Season 2. It appears to be based on the [[Walther MPK]], with stylistic elements from (of all things) an [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] sniper rifle ([http://%20https://youtu.be/0krEGBnWEag?t=903%20 the developers having stated that in-universe it was made by the same manufacturer as the game's Accuracy International-inspired "LW3 Tundra"]). Its Warzone incarnation was previously stated to be chambered in .45 ACP, but this was later changed to 9mm Parabellum. The muzzle brake and flash guard attachments still have the .45 caliber shown as part of their names (in which case it is mislabeled ".45 APC").

[[File:LC10inspect2 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the empty magazine.]]

==MAC-10==
The [[MAC-10]] was added in Season 1. It is depicted with a custom side cocking charging handle similar to low profile Uzi cocking levers and uses anachronistic front grip adapter and top rail when attaching grip and sight attachments respectively. The side is marked with "Cal .45 Auto", which is contradicted by the use of a 32-round default magazine, the number "9" as part of some muzzle attachments names, and the use of 9mm Parabellum ammunition in Warzone. The weapon fires correctly from an open bolt in ''Cold War'', but incorrectly from a closed bolt in ''Warzone''.

The "Quick Judgement" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==OTs-02 Kiparis==
The [[OTs-02 Kiparis]] was added in in the mid-season update for Season 4, under the name "OTs 9". It is technically anachronistic to the 80s time period of the game, as while it was designed in the seventies, it was first serially produced in 1991. It uses 20-round magazines by default, though 25, 30, 32 and 40 round magazines are available as attachments, with the 30 rounder being the only real option. The 30 and 40 rounders are regular magazine extensions, while the 25 and 32 rounders are curved "speed mags".

The Kiparis is one of the few weapons to have a distinctly different set of animations in ''Warzone'' compared to ''Cold War''.

==PM-63 RAK==
The [[PM-63 RAK]] was added during Season 3 as the "AMP63"; unlike its incarnation in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|BO1]]'', it is classified as a pistol. Also unlike that incarnation, it has a correct 15-round capacity by default (with 20-, 22-, and 25-round optional magazines available, the latter being the only real one), as well as a more correct rate of fire. To avoid making anything too correct, its foregrip and stock are now permanently folded, and it erroneously fires from a closed bolt. Additionally, its Warzone incarnation is incorrectly chambered in 9mm Parabellum (a feature of the PM-70 prototype) rather than 9x18mm Makarov.

The "Lawgiver" blueprint is based on the Lawgiver MK II pistol from the ''Judge Dredd'' franchise.

==PP-19 Bizon-2==
An anachronistic and heavily stylized [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] (developed in the 1990s) appears under the name "Bullfrog". It is depicted with a ribbed dust cover resembling that of an [[AS Val]], and the rear sight relocated to the rear of the receiver, along many other cosmetic changes. The default helical magazine only holds 50 rounds instead of 64 or 53 like its real-world counterpart (in 9x18mm Makarov and 9x19mm Parabellum, respectively), and its front attachment point is below the front sight (like the earlier Bizon-1). It has a top-folding stock by default, but can be fitted with a side-folding stock similar to that of other Bizon variants, via the "Duster Stock" or the "KGB Skeletal Stock" attachment.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] was added in Season 3. It is carried by some Red Army soldiers in the intro cutscene of the Zombies map Die Maschine and inaccurately by Soviet troops in the Season 3 cutscene, which is set in 1984. It is also seen in the "Combat Hardened" achievement icon which is based on the "Stand to Death" statue in Volgograd.

By default, it holds 32 rounds; this is a characteristic of the MP41(r), a German 9x19mm conversion of the PPSh-41 from WWII, even though the in-game weapon is modeled with a standard PPSh-41's 35-round magazine. Interestingly, the "VDV 50 Round Fast Mag" attachment gives the weapon a straight magazine looking similar to that of the MP41(r). To confuse matters further, its muzzle attachments imply that it's chambered in .45 ACP (or rather, .45 "APC"), a feature of absolutely no version of the PPSh.

The weapon has a variety of rather strange barrel options - the "15.7" Task Force" barrel, as well as the "Loud Pipe" variant, have a front forend and heat shield styled after the [[SVT-40]] (a setup extremely similar to the "Thrive" and "Snake" variations from ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''); the "14.9" Rifled" barrel gives it an [[Erma EMP-35]]'s barrel shroud and the small wooden forend of a [[PPD-40]]; the "14.9" Ranger" barrel has what appears to be a [[Browning M1919]] barrel shroud with a [[Karabiner 98k]] front sight; the "14.9" Reinforced Heavy" barrel is taken from the [[K-50M]] (albeit also fitted with a Kar98k's front sight); the "12.7" Cavalry Lancer" barrel is seemingly inspired by the PPD-40's (albeit shorter, with larger vents and no handguard); and the "14.3" Extended" barrel is taken from the [[PPS-43]]. Stock options include the "Tactical Stock" (an [[MP28]]-style stock with a leather cheekrest), the "Spetznaz Stock" (a regular-looking stock with a cheekrest and two seemingly-random bolts driven directly through the receiver), and the "Marathon", "Duster", and "CQB" stocks (all sawn off, with the former having the original wooden side panels, the latter having K-50M-esque metal side panels, and the Duster having the metal side panels of the experimental folding-stocked PPSh-45; these panels are also used by the "Raider Stock", seemingly a grafted-on rifle stock).

The "Night Raid" blueprint (a promotional pre-order reward in BOCW for [[Call of Duty: Vanguard]]) is stylized after WWII planes like the P-40 Warhawk with the addition of a red dot sight stylized after WWII aircraft reflector gunsights like the Mk 20 Mod 4 sight.

==SOCIMI Type 821==
The [[SOCIMI Type 821]] appears in-game. It was referred to as the "Type 821" during the alpha, but the name was changed to "Milano 821" in the Beta (with Milano being Italian for Milan, the city where this gun was made). It has an anachronistic Masterpiece Arms side cocking charging handle instead of the proper top mounted one like the [[Uzi]] it was based on. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as it was designed in 1983 and produced in 1984 (the earlier Uzi would have been a better choice).

=Shotguns=
==Franchi SPAS-12==
The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] appears as the "Gallo SA12" (''gallo'' means "rooster" or "cock" in Italian). It is used in semi-automatic mode, and the stock is folded by default, but it can be modified with some unfolded stock options, as well as a fixed stock or no stock at all. Attaching optics will automatically unfold the stock as well. It is weirdly used by Soviet forces in the campaign, and also appears anachronistically in the false flashbacks to the Vietnam War.

In a rare bit of realism, the carrier latch button is depressed during reloads to allow the user to load shells (unless an optical attachment is used, in which case the player character will grasp the shotgun from the heat shield instead). When not aiming, the weapon will be upended during reloads (as previously seen in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2|Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Remastered]]''), while the weapon will be held right-side up if reloading while aiming. However, the gun is never rechambered after an empty reload. It holds 7 shells, which is possible with 6 round tubes and a 7th shell in the chamber (or with an underloaded 8-round tube), but as this is never depicted, the tube length is fictional. The magazine tube itself looks more like a 5 or 6 shell tube rather than the 7 shells the weapon actually holds.

The extended 9 and 12 round tubes are modeled incorrectly; while the tube does get longer, it only grows by about 0.5 shells length each time to avoid a comically large magazine tube sticking out of the front of the shotgun.

==Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun==
A stylized [[Henry USA rifle series#Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun|Henry .410 Lever Action Shotgun]] was added with Season 6 as the ".410 Ironhide". It is extremely anachronistic; not only were Henry lever action shotguns not produced until 2017, but the side loading gate version featured in-game was introduced in 2019. It is fitted with a Williams sight. Compared to the game's other shotguns, it is more precision-oriented, with the tightest spread, lowest fire rate, and worst hipfire spread (the weapon's barrel somehow spreading pellets differently based on how the user looks at it); somewhat bafflingly, it also does the most damage out of all the game's shotguns, despite firing the smallest shells by a substantial margin.

In a reverse of the SPAS-12's errors, the Henry .410 is ''always'' cocked after every reload in ''Cold War''’s multiplayer. However, this is corrected in Warzone, where it is only cocked when empty.

==Ithaca 37==
The [[Ithaca 37]] appears in-game as the "Hauer 77", likely a reference to [[Rutger Hauer]], the late star of the film ''[[Hobo with a Shotgun]]''. The weapon is pumped after every single reload (in both Cold War and Warzone).

A shortened version called the "Sucker Punch" is available as a skin via the "Air Sea Land" pack for the Ultimate Edition. The base weapon can also be shortened by equipping the “19.3" Hammer Forged” barrel and the "No Stock" attachment.

==Penn Arms Striker-12==
The [[Penn Arms Striker-12]] was added to the game during Season 1. It has the auto-ejection mechanism (and therefore the shell deflector) of late models, but lacks a rear drum advance lever like early models. The design is anachronistic, as the auto-ejection feature on Striker shotguns (developed in 1989) wasn't yet in existence during game's time period (when the company was called Sentinel Arms), and the original model wouldn't fit in the pre-1983 multiplayer maps either.

It is referred to as the "Streetsweeper", and incorrectly fires in fully-automatic mode. Unlike its counterpart from previous games, the winding key is correctly used to rotate the cylinder while reloading, although there is a missing step in which the player character is supposed to manually eject the last shell with the ejector rod.

==TP-82==
A stylized [[TP-82]] was added in season five as the "Marshal", an in-universe predecessor to ''BO3''’s [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops III#"Marshal 16"|"Marshal 16"]]. It is used by Woods as a backup sidearm in the season five cinematic trailer. It is classed as a pistol instead of a shotgun.

The weapon lacks the 5.45mm barrel that the actual weapon has, meaning it functions as a regular double-barrel shotgun. Furthermore, it has been rechambered for 12 gauge instead of the 12.5x70mm shells it actually uses. Owing to its pistol classification, it can be dual-wielded. The weapon only has 6 attachments, which include two optics (mounted on an anachronistic Picatinny rail), a cut-down barrel, a longer barrel and dual-wield. The final attachment is "Dragon's Breath" shells, which do not set enemies on fire, instead they just have a flat damage increase and a cosmetic fire effect, but they are still countered by Flak Jacket.

The two hammers on the gun are not dynamically animated in BOCW, but are in ''Warzone''. In BOCW, the right hammer doesn't drop after firing the first shot (from the right barrel), and both hammers will only drop (simultaneously) after firing both shots; the ''Warzone'' animation correctly shows the right hammer dropping after the first shot. This also extends to the reload animations: the BOCW animation only shows the operator cocking both hammers when reloading both both barrels, while the ''Warzone'' animation has an additional animation showing the operator cocking the one dropped hammer when reloading a single barrel.

Markings on the weapon read "Manufactured in the USA" and "Marshal 82". In a nice bit of attention-to-detail, struck primers can be seen on the fired shells when reloading.

==Ak 5==
A stylized [[Ak 5]] is featured in the game as the "Krig 6" (''krig'' means "war" in Swedish). It anachronistically appears in the campaign's 1981 period and in the false flashbacks to Vietnam, as it was first produced in 1986 (the [[FN FNC]], from which the Ak 5 was derived, would have been a more appropriate choice for the 80s segments). It also uses an anachronistic upper rail when equipping optics. It is used inaccurately by the East German police and Soviet and American troops in the campaign, who would much more likely use the [[AKS-74|MPi-AKS-74N]] and [[M16]] respectively.

The "Tactical Stock" gives it a synthetic fixed [[FN FAL]] stock (similar to some FNC configurations), and the "Commando Assembly" stock is taken from a [[SIG SG 550]] series rifle.

==AK-47/AKM Hybrid==
An "[[AK-47]]" is featured in the game. During the alpha and beta stages, it was mostly modeled correctly after an AK-47, albeit with an [[AKM]]-style pistol grip and slant compensator. However, the model of the base gun was changed in the final game: now it also has an AKM's stamped receiver and ribbed top cover, while retaining the AK-47's gas block, gas tube, front sight block, handguard, and stock.

It can be fitted with an [[RPK]]-style barrel and stock via the “20" Liberator” barrel and the "Tactical Stock" respectively. Other notable Eastern Bloc customizations include a Romanian/East German style coat-hanger stock with the added cheek strut piece as the "Wire Stock". The "Foregrip" is a Romanian type wooden foregrip and the "Patrol Grip" is a Hungarian FEG-style foregrip. It uses a fictionalized Dragunov optics mount modified into a rail mount when equipping optics.

The AK can also take an extended 40-round steel magazine or a 50-round orange Bakelite resin mag.

Interestingly, a more conventional reload was used in the beta but was changed to the underhand method in the final game presumably due to the community's dissatisfaction with the game's reload animations compared to ''Modern Warfare''.]]

===AK-47===
Many blueprints, such as the "Iron Curtain" and "Soviet Standard", retain the AK-47's appearance seen in earlier builds of the game. Additionally, some unusable AK-47s can be seen in the CIA Safehouse.

The Season 1 "Prototype" blueprint gives the weapon a green M16-style stock and a modern barrel, and the "Lethal Damage" blueprint has a sporterized stock.

===AKS-47===
Equipping the "Duster Stock" on some blueprints turns the gun into an [[AKS-47]].

===Norinco Type 56===
The "AK-47" wielded by NVA and VC soldiers in the Vietnam flashback missions is modeled after the Chinese [[Norinco Type 56]].

===AMD-65===
The ''[[Rambo III]]'' inspired "Bloodstained" blueprint gives the gun a similar appearance to the [[AMD-65]], except that it retains the AK-47's front sight and gas system.

[[File:AMD65Short.jpg‎|thumb|none|450px|Hungarian AMD-65 as seen in the film - 7.62x39mm. This one has an American copy of an Israeli blank fire adapter (which is slightly longer and thinner than most commonly seen external BFAs. This is the version seen in the movie.)]]

===AKM===
Unusable [[AKM]] rifles can be seen next to the Glock 18 pistols in the multiplayer map "Checkmate".

[[File:AKMRifle.jpg|thumb|none|450px|AKM - 7.62x39mm]]

==AKS-74U==
The [[AKS-74U]] is one of the weapons in ''Black Ops Cold War''. In classic ''Call of Duty'' tradition, it is incorrectly classified as a submachine gun and referred to as the "AK-74u". While not anachronistic for the 80s segments, it's quite overrepresented even with Woods having one in his trunk at a time when the Soviets were just introducing it to service in Afghanistan. It also appears anachronistically in Bell's false flashbacks to the Vietnam War, where it's inaccurately used by the Vietcong.

It has attachment configurations that approximate members of the [[AS Val]] family. The "Duster Stock" is similar the Val stock, the "Commando Assembly" stock is from the [[VSS Vintorez]], and the “10.3" Ranger” barrel configuration uses the SR-3M's handguard. The "40 Rd Speed Mag" is also a 20-round 6L25 9x39mm magazine.

In addition, the drum magazine attachments are straighter-style 7.62x39mm drum magazines.

[[File:AKS-74upreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While this is the most accurately modeled AKS-74U in the ''Call of Duty'' series so far, it is shown with an AK-47 style pistol grip, apparently having traded grips with the Beta AK-47.]]

Note that the "Spetsnaz PKM Stock" attachment is just a regular AK-type stock in this blueprint. Also note that this game does not contain a PKM, which is odd, as many Warsaw Pact weapons feature stocks with "Spetsnaz PKM stock" as their name.]]

=="CARV.2"==
The "CARV.2" added during Season 3 is a fictional burst-firing bullpup "tactical rifle" manufactured by the same (in-universe) company that manufactures the "KSP 45". It appears to be based on the [[Heckler & Koch G11|Heckler & Koch G11 K2]], even using the latter's 4.73mm caseless ammunition in Warzone.

Compared to the real G11, the "CARV.2" is a bullpup rifle with a a conventional bullpup configuration, with the magazine placed in the stock instead of above the barrel. This magazine holds 45-rounds by default, and bizarrely has ".437mm×33" written on it. Oddly, the magazine is also curved, despite the caseless 4.73mm round not being tapered (which is the reason for curved magazines, to allow for the round to feed properly). It also features a typical charging handle, instead of the wind-up handle on the real G11.

The "CARV.2" appears shorter and slightly taller than the G11, with a carrying handle instead of the G11's integrated optic, and a rail where the real G11's magazine resides. The handguard is moulded, and the barrel is vented, presumably a way of alleviating the problems the G11 had with its barrel heating up during operation, as there are no brass shells to take the heat out of the rifle. The fire selector is further forward than the real G11, but still features semi-auto, 3-round burst and full-auto, although the rifle is not able to fire in semi-auto or full-auto in gameplay. A more true to the real thing handguard is available as the ''22.5" Task Force'' barrel attachment.

==CETME Model C==
The [[CETME Model C]] was added in Season 4 as the "C58", noted due to its slightly curved magazine.

The "SASR Jungle Grip" gives it a similar pistol grip to the [[Heckler & Koch PSG-1]], and the "Raider Stock" also resembles a PSG-1 stock. The "CQB Stock" is a sliding design similar to the [[G3A4]].

Interestingly, one of the magazine options is a caliber conversion (the first such attachment in the game), using 5.56x45mm NATO ammunition in a fictional 60-round drum; oddly, the only thing this does is decrease the damage in exchange for a larger-than-normal magazine, with no impact on fire rate, recoil, muzzle velocity, etc. This is not the case for the Warzone counterpart, as that one instead has a 55-round drum option that retains the base 7.62x51mm ammunition.

The curved "25 Rnd Speed" and "Salvo 30 Rnd Fast Mag" resemble the anachronistic [[Heckler_%26_Koch_PSG-1#PTR_rifle_series|PTR 32]] magazines, albeit without the modern plastics. The "18.7" Reinforced Heavy Barrel" will give it a handguard resembling that of an [[IMI Romat]]'s while the "18.2" Takedown" to its predecessor the Model B. "15.6" Ultralight" and "18.7" Ranger" will give it a handguard resembling that of a Model E.

==Enfield EM-2==
A stylised arctic model [[Enfield EM-2]] was added in season five. It features its built in scope by default. When equipped for the first time, the character properly presses the fire selector button to switch the weapon to full-auto mode. It is correctly referred as firing .280 British in Warzone and in the names of some of the muzzle attachments. While not anachronistic, its usage by anyone in the 80s is extremely unlikely due to only 59 examples being ever produced.

==FAMAS Hybrid==
The "FFAR 1" is a weapon based on the [[FAMAS Valorisé]] combined with a trigger guard and magazine well from FAMAS G2 (both of which would be anachronistic to the game), with some visual features similar to the "FFAR" from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]''. The default magazine correctly holds 25 rounds instead of 30 like in past ''Call of Duty'' games.

In the game's lore it appears that this weapon is the successor of the FAMAS from the first ''Black Ops'' game and predecessor to the "FFAR" from ''Black Ops III''.

==FARA 83==
The [[FARA 83]] was added in Season 2 with the metal stock, marking its first appearance in a video game. The flash hider is of a different design to the real weapon and some sort of gas block is mounted underneath the front sight, which is absent on the real weapon.

The "Tactical Stock" uses the real fixed stock of the FARA. Oddly, the weapon features some AK stock, with the East German coat hangar AK stock as the "Wire Stock" and a [[Norinco Type 56-2|Type 56-2]] stock as the "Duster Stock".

==IMI Galil ARM==
The [[IMI Galil ARM]] was added in Season 6, and is called the "Grav" like in ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops 4|BO4]]''. It has an [[AS Val]] stock and a slightly shorter barrel by default, but can be fitted with a longer barrel in Gunsmith.

==K31==
The [[K31 Rifle]] was added to the sniper rifles category in Season 3, under the name "Swiss K31". It has a shortened barrel by default, though the “24.9" Extended” barrel attachment gives it the correct barrel length.

The Warzone incarnation of the K31 is correctly chambered in 7.5x55mm. Despite this, some barrel attachment make it seem like the weapon fires .308 Winchester/7.62x51mm NATO, which would be incorrect.

==M14==
The [[M14]] appears in the game as the "DMR 14". It sports a synthetic stock (though equipping the Duster Pad stock gives it a chequered wooden stock), fires semi-automatically, and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer.

==M16A2==
The [[M16A2]] appears under the "tactical rifles" class. It is simply referred to as the "M16" in the HUD, but actually has "M16.A2" markings on the magwell. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine, and the pin for the auto sear on the lower receiver is absent, which in reality would prevent the rifle from firing in bursts. It is anachronistic to the campaign's 1981 time period, as the M16A2 was not adopted for service yet, first being adopted in 1983 by the USMC and in 1986 by the Army. Rather than removing the carry handle as in previous Black Ops games, it uses an anachronistic carry handle rail when equipping optics. Said carry handle rail appears to be a modern 1913 rail attached using a clamp and screw system from a Colt 3x or 4x AR-15 scope somehow mated together. The weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

The M16's alternate barrel options include “16.3" Rapid Fire”, “20.5" Cavalry Lancer”, “16.3" Titanium”, “20.2" Takedown”, and “15.9" Strike Team”; of these, the 20.5" barrel options are visually just the default barrel but fluted ("Cavalry Lancer") or dimpled ("Takedown"). For the short barrel options, the "Rapid Fire" and "Strike Team" both give the gun a short triangular handguard (the difference is that "Rapid Fire" has a smooth barrel while "Strike Team"'s is fluted), while "Titanium" gives the gun a short round handguard, the end result somewhat resembling a Colt Model 723 14.5" A1 barrel.

The M16's stock options include "Tactical Stock", the normal M16A2 stock with a cheek pad, "Wire Stock", an M231 FPW-like wire stock, "Duster Stock", a Doublestar Ace skeleton stock (which might be anachronistic), "Commando Assembly", a 2nd generation collapsible stock, and "Buffer Tube", an exposed buffer tube with a rubber pad.

Magazine options include the classic ''Black Ops'' jungle-style fast mags made with either duct tape or clamps, a 30-round STANAG magazine depicted as a 45-rounder, a 20-round STANAG magazine with an improvised duct tape magazine assists somehow also depicted as a 45-rounder, and a 54-round magazine (which also appears on the in-game XM4, where it holds 50 rounds).

===Colt XM4 Carbine===
The combination of the “16.3" Titanium” barrel attachment with the "Commando Assembly" stock attachment approximates the [[M4 Carbine|XM4 Carbine]], sans the proper stepped barrel.

==Norinco QBZ-95-1==
An anachronistic [[Norinco QBZ-95-1]] rifle appears in the game, featuring several retro-styled cosmetic alterations. It was briefly seen in the Gunsmith trailer, labeled the "Type 15", but the name was changed to "QBZ-83" in the Beta. The Type 95's development began in 1989, with the first prototypes being made in 1990. The in-game weapon bears some cosmetic resemblances to [http://www.163.com/dy/article/EK33QH8D05355H7O.html some of the Type 95's early prototypes], but is still clearly based on the QBZ-95-1, which began its development in 2004 and was adopted in 2010.

The side of the gun is marked with "T97NSR-PWC-CAL 5.56 mm"; T97NSR refers to a semi-auto only civilian variant of the 5.56mm QBZ-97A sold in Canada named Type 97 NSR. This likely suggests that Treyarch modeled the gun after a Type 97 NSR then modified it to make it resemble a Chinese QBZ-95 (with its distinct magazine shape and paddle magazine release) and "retro-ified" it. Some of its muzzle attachments also have "5.56" as part of their names, though it is unclear if this is an intentional reference to the QBZ-97 connections or a result of the generally confused state of attachment name/descriptions in ''BOCW''; its Warzone incarnation is also supposedly chambered in 5.56 NATO.

The "QBZ-83" name would suggest that it was adopted in 1983 in the ''Black Ops'' universe which would still be anachronistic to the pre-83 maps.

The weapon's trigger and trigger guard shape come from the [[HS Produkt VHS|HS Produkt VHS-2]], with the latter being made from stamped metal rather like the FAMAS. Its magazines appear to be loosely based on Chinese steel AK magazines. It also has three vents on the upper handguard and a birdcage-like muzzle device, both elements of the QBZ-97.]]
[[File:QBZ95-1preview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In Gunsmith, the Canadian Type 97 NSR markings are more easily seen. The space between the pistol grip and the magazine well is marked with the Chinese text "83式自动步枪" (Pinyin: 83 shì zì dòng bù qiāng), which means "Type 83 automatic rifle". The word "中国" (Pinyin: zhōng guó), meaning "China", can also be faintly seen marked on the magazine well. The rear of the stock is ''very'' faintly marked with what's apparently "梦想" (Pinyin: mèng xiǎng), or "dream". Also note that the fire selector only has safe/fire positions like a civilian model.]]

==Norinco Type 63==
The [[Norinco Type 63]] is available in the game, classified as a "tactical rifle". Despite being select-fire in reality, it is restricted to semi-automatic mode in-game; the spike bayonet is also unusable. It uses what appears to be an anachronistic M14 rifle style rail mount when equipping optics. The default magazine initially held a correct 20 rounds in the closed alpha, but this was increased to an incorrect 25 in the beta and final game.

Player character Bell and Woods use this rifle in "Redlight, Greenlight" instead of a more appropriate American M14.

==OTs-14 Groza==
A stylized [[OTs-14 Groza]] with a shortened receiver was added to the game in Season 1. It is anachronistic, as the real weapon was produced in 1992. It feeds from 5.45x39mm style magazines, something which is not confirmed to have existed on a real Groza, but is actually used on a Groza-inspired bullpup AK pistol developed in the late 2010s by US-based Bad Element Co. In contrast, its Warzone incarnation is stated to be chambered in "7.62 Soviet" (i.e. 7.62x39mm), and some of its muzzle attachments have "7.62" as part of their name.

[[File:Grozapreview BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Groza in the battlepass preview screen.

=="RAI K-84"==
The "RAI K-84" (standing for "Reactorniy Avtomat-Izluchatel Kuhlklay-84", translated "Reactor Automatic Radiator Kuhlklay-84") is a "Wonder Weapon" in the Zombies map Firebase Z released during Season 1. It is based on an [[AK-74]] with the depiction of a milled receiver; such a configuration exists on the Waffen Werks WW-74M, a US-made semi-automatic rifle, though the in-game weapon has two rivets at the rear like the stamped receiver of a standard AK-74. It is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher called the "GP-6K2" and modeled after a [[GP-25]].

[[File:BOCWRAIKReload.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At least reloading the weapon shows more careful finger placement. As a bit of trivia, intel in the map notes that the RAI K-84 was based off of a "Generator Khaosa Zavoyski-45" weapon that was developed in-universe in WWII. This is a reference to the otherwise completely fictional "GKZ-45 Mark3" Wonder Weapon from the ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'' map Gorod Krovi, implying the RAI K is a successor to it. This is backed up by it operating like a more powerful version of the GKZ; a powerful laser bolt firing weapon with a secondary, grenade-type fire that explodes when shot at with the former.]]

==Steyr AUG A1==
The [[Steyr AUG A1]] appears in the game as the "AUG" and is classified as a "tactical rifle" in multiplayer. It incorrectly fires in three-round bursts, a feature of the much later (2005) AUG A3. Its foregrip is folded by default, but it can be unfolded via the "Field Agent foregrip"; it also has some rail-mounted foregrip options. Like the M16A2, the weapon boasts surprisingly high damage, able to kill enemies in a single burst at some range compared to the fully-automatic rifles.

For some reason, Soviet troops use this weapon in the side-mission "Operation Red Circus," which is incorrect.

[[File:BOCWMaschine-SVT.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==XM16E1==
The fully-automatic [[XM16E1]] appears exclusively in the campaign. It is labeled "M16A1" in the HUD and on the magwell (though the pick-up text spells it with a lowercase "a", for some reason), but it actually has the appearance of a 'faux' XM16E1, as seen in some movies where the guns are built from M16A1s. This is firstly evidenced by the combination of an XM16E1's 3-prong flash hider with an M16A1's full fence lower. The weapon also appears to have a chrome bolt carrier, which was present on the XM16E1, but not on the M16A1. For some reason, the XM16E1 has an anachronistic A2 pistol grip, while the XM4 has a A1 pistol grip.

In a small though somewhat confusing detail, the receiver bears a forge code mark, C H. This would indicate a rifle with an upper receiver built from Harvey Aluminum billets, but this code would have been in use from the mid 1970s to the early 1980s, well after Vietnam and never on an actual XM16E1 (though M16A1s were made with this code). Due to the nature of the game's storyline, this could be justified as intentional anachronism, however.

It appears in the two Vietnam flashback levels, as well as a few other missions where it is available alongside the M16A2. It is incredibly powerful, as the weapon's damage was balanced for occasional bursts rather than consistent fully-auto firing, made even easier with the game's rather controllable muzzle climb. It uses the same reloading animations as the M16A2, but has a different firing sound. It is also seen in the "Good Enough" calling card.

[[File:XM16E1 BOCW.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bell holds an XM16E1 in a Vietnamese village.]]

==XM177E1==
The [[XM177E1]], specifically the later model with a full fence lower, appears under the name "XM4". It is depicted with a flat top, seeming to be the result of a chopped off carry handle with a bolted rail (which was done in the 1980s by Olympic Arms and some other manufacturers). It has an anachronistic rear sight which is a hybrid between the Troy Battle Sight and Midway Industries Flip Up Sight, and the flash hider has been altered to resemble an A1. It also appears to have been based on a civilian model, as it has semi-auto only selector markings (Fire/Safe).

The weapon is wrapped in slings with a portion tucked behind the bolt catch like the "Commando" from the first ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops|Black Ops]]'', although the default empty reload animation in this case correctly uses the charging handle instead of trying to hit the bolt release, which couldn't possibly work with a cloth strap tucked behind it (that said, some reload animations, like the jungle mags reload animation, still involve hitting the sling-padded bolt catch). Equipping any stock customization removes the sling wrap. Mounting optics removes the front sight but keeps the gas block.

The XM4 designation is anachronistic for the time period of 1981, as the XM177 wouldn't be designated as "XM4" until 1983, and even then would be attached to an [http://www.imfdb.org/images/2/2a/XM4_Carbine_%26_M16A2_%281982%29.jpg improved model of the XM177E2]. The A1 pistol grip is inaccurately depicted as being solid instead of hollow.

The "Black Tide" blueprint replaces the regular handguard with a carbine-length [[M203]] grenade launcher heat shield; it also has a yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint similar to the [[M79 grenade launcher|M79]] used by "The Roach" in ''[[Apocalypse Now]]''. The "Giantsbane" variant uses an anachronistic [[Z-M LR 300]] handguard and front sight (the LR 300 having been introduced in 2000). It is also seen in the "Reaper Of The Dead" calling card.

The "Inconspicuous" blueprint uses the M16A2's upper receiver, while retaining the XM177E1's earlier teardrop forward assist, however. It has an [[Olympic Arms OA-93]] style handguard with vents patterned after the Advanced Armament Corporation OMNI suppressor, an Israeli style elastic handguard band, what appears to be a faux suppressor, a tactical light, a stock cheek pad and a [[Talk:Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War#SureFire MAG5-60|SureFire MAG5-60]] magazine. The "Fly Trap" blueprint has an A2 handguard, an A2 pistol grip, and an A2 forward assist. The "Ultimate Hunter" has an anachronistic quad rail handguard, a muzzle brake with a breach face, a scope with some cosmetic similarities to a Trijicon ACOG, and a collapsible stock modelled after various offerings from the late 2000's onwards.

==Accuracy International PM/AW Hybrid==
The "LW3 - Tundra" is a hybrid of the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Precision Marksman|Accuracy International Precision Marksman]] and the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series#Accuracy International Arctic Warfare|Arctic Warfare]], along with some fictional elements. It has a Precision Marksman-style stock, and lacks a finger cutout in the magwell like this model, but has the safety of an Arctic Warfare (incorrectly set to the rear position, which would lock the bolt and the trigger), as well as an adjustable cheek pad and a flash hider like the latter. Curiously enough, it also uses Picatinny rails like the AW, but with a PM-like scope mount and backup rear sight used on it. The rifle is mildly anachronistic, as the Precision Marksman wasn't developed until 1982 and the Arctic Warfare wasn't developed until 1988, while the campaign takes place in 1981 and multiplayer takes place between 1981-1985. The name Tundra suggests it was intended to be based off of the Artic Warfare, but they went with PM elements to keep it to the multiplayer's time period.

==Barrett M82A1M==
The [[Barrett M82A1M]] appears in the game as the "M82". It is anachronistic to the game, since it was developed in the 1990s; the original M82 would be more accurate for some multiplayer maps. To balance out its semiautomatic firing mode, the M82A1M is comically the ''weakest'' sniper rifle in terms of per-shot damage, not even able to break the bulletproof armor scorestreak in one shot. Due to the lack of a Soviet sniper rifle, the Soviet forces use the Barrett as their sniper, which is incorrect.

==Mechem NTW-20==
The [[Mechem NTW-20]] was added in the Season 2 Reloaded update as the "ZRG 20mm". It is heavily stylized and fitted with a PSO-1 scope with incorrect reticle by default. It is also far shorter than the real weapon, making the weapon shorter then the in-game Barrett M82A1M, despite the NTW-20 being roughly twice the length of the Barrett. It is anachronistic by more than a decade (1998) and is set up for left-handed use, with the magazine and bolt handle on the right and left side respectively, opposite what it should be.

==Remington 700PSS==
The [[Remington 700PSS]] appears as the "Pelington 703", complete with a permanently attached Harris bipod (which can be deployed by equipping the "Front Grip" or "Bipod" underbarrel attachments). Like the M40 and R700 rifles in ''[[Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare]]'', it is reloaded with individual rounds. It is anachronistic for the game as it was designed in 1986 while the 80s segments of ''Black Ops Cold War'' take place in 1981-1985; the scope also mounts on an anachronistic rail. It also appears in Bell's Vietnam War false flashbacks, fitted with a wooden stock and is depicted as being used by the US troops, though it is likely standing in for a standard Remington 700 in this case. Its Warzone incarnation is stated to use .308 ammunition (most likely Winchester).

=Machine Guns=
==CETME Ameli==
The late NB model [[CETME Ameli]] was added in Season 4. It is inaccurately fitted with an early NA variant flash hider. It appears under the Spanish Army's designation "MG 82".

==M134 Minigun==
A handheld [[M134 Minigun]] is featured in the game. It is shown with a 4-flange barrel clamp (like an original General Electric M134) combined with a Dillon Aero flash hider. It is obtainable in the campaign mission "The Final Countdown", under the name "M134 Minigun". It was later added to multiplayer and Zombies in Season 2 as the "Death Machine".

It also appears mounted on helicopters, including the "Chopper Gunner" scorestreak in multiplayer, and as part of the "Sentry Turret" scorestreak. A helicopter-mounted version can be used by Bell during a setpiece in "Fracture Jaw".

==="Death Machine" (Dead Ops Arcade 3)===
The "Death Machine" model from ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops III]]'', a futuristic man-portable rotary gun based on the [[General Dynamics GAU-19/A]], appears exclusively as a power-up in the Zombies map Dead Ops Arcade 3: Rise of the Mamaback.

[[File:GAU19.jpg|thumb|none|450px|General Dynamics GAU-19/A - .50 BMG]]

==M60==
The [[M60 machine gun|M60]] is one of the machine guns in ''BOCW''; it is the original model, as opposed to the M60E3 featured in past games.

A mounted version can also be found in "End of the Line". It is also seen in the "Harvest Time" calling card.

==RPD==
The [[RPD]] appears under its real name, with an incorrect disintegrating ammunition belt. The "Fast Mag" reload animation shows the RPD reload in a unique manner by having the new belt pulled through the closed top cover, whereas the default reload involves using the feed tray cover.

In the campaign, it is used by Soviet forces in 1981, at a time when it had already been phased out in favor of the [[PKM]] and the [[RPK-74]].

==Stoner 63A==
The [[Stoner 63A]] is available in-game. Its in-game configuration primarily matches the Commando configuration, feeding from the right and featuring a bottom cocking handle. By default, it has a long barrel generally associated with the LMG configuration, though it can be modified with a Commando barrel via the “16" SOR Cut Down” attachment; this is a rather strange name, given that the Commando-length barrel was a factory option. A few Soviet heavies in the campaign are seen using these instead of the more faction-appropriate RPD.

The gun can use a 100-round drum modeled after the real gun's left-feeding 100-round drum, mirrored to feed from the right instead of the left (and also featuring some cosmetic differences). The gun also has a fictional 125-round box option.

=Launchers=
==FIM-43 Redeye==
The [[FIM-43 Redeye]] appears under the name "Cigma 2". Despite being a dedicated MANPADS in reality, the weapon can still be fired even without a lock-on and against ground targets.

==GP-25==
The "RAI K-84" wonder weapon in Zombies is fitted with an underbarrel "Vortex" grenade launcher, called the "GP-6K2" and taking the form of a [[GP-25]].

==Hawk MM1 grenade launcher==

==M84 stun grenade==
An [[M84 stun grenade]] is carried by Woods in the campaign and is seen in cinematics. The same fictionalized M84 from ''Modern Warfare'' is also carried by multiplayer operator Zeyna. It is anachronistic as it was used from 1995 in reality.

==MG34==
The Panzerkampfwagen VI Ausf. B Tiger II "Königstiger" heavy tank on the "Die Maschine" Zombies map has a hull-mounted [[MG34]].

[[File:BOCW-MG34Panzerlauf.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The hull-mounted MG34. It appears that the weapon plus the entire tank model are reused from ''Black Ops III''.]]

==MG42==
An [[MG42]] with a drum magazine appears only as an emplaced weapon in the Vietnam War flashback mission "Fracture Jaw". It is confirmed that the MG34 was used in Vietnam as military aid from the Soviet Union which had captured stockpiles from WWII thus the appearance of the MG42 in this context is also plausible.

==Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23==
The "VTOL Escort" (Modeled after the Yak-38) has two [[Gryazev-Shipunov GSh-23]] autocannons mounted in underwing UPK-23 gunpods. While the pod itself is correctly modeled, it is incorrectly depicted as a flexible aiming system (independent from the Yak's nose direction) due to gameplay reasons and controls. It is also seen mounted with an NPPU-23 helicopter turret inaccurately onto a Mi-8 helicopter piloted by Kravchenko in "Mauer Der Toten".

A Super Bazooka is seen in Vietnam War archival footage in the intro of "Fracture Jaw".

==150 lb Crossbow==
A 150 lb crossbow similar to those by Velocity Archery and Wizard Archery appears as the "R1 Shadowhunter". Those designs are most likely anachronistic.

==Tippman 98 Custom==
A store display of paintball guns can be seen in the map "Rush" from Season 4 Reloaded. The [[Air Guns#Tippmann 98 Custom|Tippmann 98 Custom]] is one of those paintball guns. It is anachronistic as it was released in 1998.
[[Image:Tippmann 98 Custom.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Tippmann 98 Custom Paintball Marker - .62 caliber]]

==Tippmann X7 G36==
The map Rush from Season 4's mid-season update has Tippmann X7 G36 paintball guns in a glass display case. It is anachronistic as the G36 series of rifles on which it is based were introduced in the late 90s.
[[File:Tippmann X7 G36.jpg|thumb|450px|none|A Tippmann X7 G36 paintball gun.]]

==M1 Garand==

==Recurve Bow==
A recurve bow which appears to be based on [[Rambo]]'s bows appears in the campaign and as a killstreak in multiplayer. It is inaccurately depicted as being usable underwater which doesn't hinder in any way the arrow's movement nor the flame of the fire arrows.

==Valmet M76F==
A [[Valmet M76F]] is seen in the City Ripper bundle picture.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name instead in-game). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser.” While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.
[[File:P08Luger1917.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Luger P08 - 9x19mm. This is a 1917 dated handgun, thus it is a World War One firearm.]]

[[File:Vanguard Dead Silence.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Luger in the Dead Silence artwork, fitted with a long suppressor; note the seemingly fictional metal-bottomed grips and strange, thick trigger guard. It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[Image:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎ |thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapons performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1.
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

[[File:CODVanguard PromoArt MP40.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The MP40 held in first-person, as seen in the promotional art.

[[File:Vanguard Armor Plates.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The artwork for the Armor Plates field upgrade (yet another anachronism, in terms of its effectiveness if nothing else) features an MP40 prominently, along with a couple other tools that would probably render the field upgrade in question largely irrelevant.]]

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese. At the start of every reload, the ejector rod is correctly used to remove the last spent shell.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper “Trench Gun” barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action rifles.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

[[File:Vanguard Breda PG (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the Breda PG rifle.]]

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.
[[File:Fedorovavtomat.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Fedorov Avtomat - 6.5x50mm Arisaka]]

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The “fast mag” Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumour based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine".
[[File:Hyde 1944 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hyde 1944 Carbine - .30 Carbine]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII''. When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, not to mention that such smaller muzzles and suppressors would just be destroyed by that caliber in reality.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

[[File:Vanguardas44stalingradnormal1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Initial equip animation with a standard AS-44 gives a good view of the right side of the gun.]]

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

[[File:VanguardSVT40PUScope(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the SVT-40 fitted with a PU Scope.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags," and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

[[Image:RP46.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RP-46 - 7.62x54mm R]]

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, classified as an assault rifle in game. The gun is select fire in game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings and retains the semi/full auto selector like that of the original BAR. The in game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the ‘8mm Klauser” magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in “.50 BMG,” a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare 2019.
Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had it’s flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.

==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.

The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.

The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Panzerschreck==
The [[Panzerschreck]] appears in the game. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

==Degtyaryov DT==
Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.

'''''Call of Duty: Vanguard''''' is a first person shooter developed by Sledgehammer Games and published by Activision on Xbox One and Series S/X, PlayStation 4 and 5 and Microsoft Windows on November 5th, 2021. It is the eighteenth game in the ''Call of Duty'' franchise and the sixth main WWII title in the series, following Sledgehammer's previous game, ''[[Call of Duty: WWII]]''. It features a campaign mode with characters from multiple Allied countries fighting on the Western, Eastern, African and Pacific fronts. It also has a Zombies mode, which is developed by Treyarch instead of Sledgehammer.

{{VG Title}}

=Overview=
Like ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Modern Warfare]]'' and ''[[Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War|Black Ops Cold War]]'', Vanguard uses the Gunsmith system for its weapon attachments and customisation. Caliber conversions return from Modern Warfare (2019) and are a bit more ludicrous, such as converting LMGs to fire .50 BMG rounds (which would be way too big to fit in them at all). Also returning are different ammunition types, ranging from incendiary rounds to frangible rounds.
Many of the automatic weapons feature select-fire modes between semi and fully-automatic; this is inaccurate as several are full-auto only in real life.

Multiplayer features a new mode called Champion Hill, where small teams of two or three players battle in small arenas to be the only survivor. In between rounds, they can use the cash they've earned to purchase upgrades and better weapons.

=Pistols=
All pistols are held with a modern proper two-handed grip, a technique not practised during WWII, making it anachronistic. One-handed "point-shooting" and teacup grips were the norm in that era. However, they are held one-handed when using the akimbo proficiency, but dual-wielding was not practised during the war either.

==Colt M1911==
The [[Colt M1911]] appears under the "1911" name and has an 8-round magazine by default, which is anachronistic, as 8-round magazines did not exist for the M1911 in WWII. A more appropriate choice for WWII would be the updated [[M1911A1]] variant with a 7 round magazine. Magazine options include a 5 round speed mag (which, for some reason, is longer than the default 8 rounder) and an 18 round extended magazine based on the [https://medium.com/war-is-boring/in-the-1930s-you-could-legally-turn-your-colt-1911-into-a-carbine-c152724d4430 .45 ACP extended magazine] made by Monarch Arms & Manufacturing Sales in the 20s and 30s. The "Cooper Full-Auto" barrel tuns the weapon into a machine pistol, with the "Strife Compensator" attachment and the 18 round magazine creating a resemblance to Lebman's machine pistols (such as the one famously used by John Dillinger), minus the Thompson foregrip and stock found on some examples.

Fired casings have struck primers, seen if you look at an ejected case on the ground.

Baggett, who shot down a Zero with an M1911 pistol while parachuting. Note the weapon is shown as double-action only, and the hammer never moves while firing.]]

==Mauser C96 Hybrid==
As in ''[[Call of Duty: WWII|WWII]]'', a hybrid of different [[Mauser C96]] pistols appears, listed under the generic moniker of "Machine Pistol". It has the general appearance of the M1930 model of the C96, and is full-auto with detachable magazines like the M712 Schnellfeuer, despite lacking a selector switch, and also has a "Red 9" grip (despite not being chambered in 9mm by default). It uses ".30 Klauser" ammunition in 10 round magazines (".30 Jaeger" during the Beta), likely a rename of .30 Mauser (i.e. 7.63x25mm Mauser) to avoid trademark issues.

A 20 round magazine is available as the "7.62 Gorenko Extended Mags" attachment, holding an incorrect 40 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev (which has a copyright free "Gorenko" name instead in-game). The C96 can fire the 7.62x25mm Tokarev round, but doing so is not recommended as it can damage the pistol. The "9mm Extended Mags" uses a fictional magazine that appears to hold 14 rounds. Of note is that Yugoslavia manufactured 9mm M712 pistols, making the caliber correct, but not the capacity. The "VDD 140mm HE" barrel gives it a shorter version of the barrel seen on the [[M1917 Trench Carbine]].

Oddly, the beta version of the C96 mashup had additional magazine options (as well as different names for the ones that stayed for the full release, such as "Tokarev" changing to "Gorenko") - an 8 round 9x19mm "fast mag" that is reloaded with 10-round stripper clips (''somehow'' being faster than reloading with magazines) and "8mm Nambu" 20 round magazines, a caliber that the C96 never used.

==Luger P08==
The [[Luger P08]] is available in-game as the "Klauser.” While it was replaced by the [[Walther P38]] in 1938, Lugers saw widespread usage on many fronts, including a production run of guns made by Mauser in 1942. In the campaign, it is seen in the hands of both the Germans and Japanese. The front sights are currently misaligned. The The 32 round ''Trommelmagazin 08'' is available for the weapon (under the name "9mm 12 Round Mags"), incorrectly only holding 12 rounds. Additionally, US Army trial versions of the Luger were rechambered for .45 ACP, which is possible in-game with the ".45 ACP 8 Round Mags" or ".45 ACP 12 Round Mags" (the latter is also a ''Trommelmagazin'', but fitted with a sling wrapped around the winding arm of the drum, which woud prevent it from feeding into the chamber), however the pistol still lacks the grip safety and slightly longer barrel the trial Lugers had. The "Fitzherbert 200mm BL" barrel is a significantly shortened [[Luger Carbine]] barrel, although stocks are not an option for pistols, so a full mock-up of the Carbine is not possible.

The Luger also appears in the artwork for the Dead Silence field upgrade, fitted with a suppressor.

It's also not entirely clear what the suppressor is actually attached to, given that a Luger's barrel ends more or less exactly where the in-game suppressor starts, with no room for threading.]]

==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears as the "RATT", presumably taking the TT from the pistol's actual name. It incorrectly holds 9 rounds by default instead of the correct 8. The model's default trigger has a non-standard hole cutout in it, though some of the replacement trigger customizations resemble the correct style. All suppressors humorously block the ironsights.

In the beta, the rear sight and recoil spring plug weren't attached to the slide, and floated in place when it moved back, but this was fixed for release.

[[File:Vanguard TT (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Previewing the TT pistol in the beta; note the oddly-shaped trigger guard, checkered grip panels, slide with 5 grasping serrations instead of 7, and rather concerning lack of a trigger.]]

===Norinco Type 54 / Model 213===
Equipping the "9mm Fast Mag" or the "9mm Extended Mags" turns the pistol into a [[Norinco Type 54 / Model 213]], minus the manual safety. The Type 54 / Model 213 was made in 1951 onwards, making the 9mm conversions anachronistic. Note both magazines have incorrect capacities of 6 and 18 respectively, instead of the correct 8 for the time period. The extended mag also has an incorrect capacity of 18 - real extended Model 213A pistols has a capacity of 14.
[[Image:Tokarev NorincoM213B.jpg‎ |thumb|none|350px|Norinco Type 54 Model 213 with blued finish - 9x19mm. This is a screen used pistol from ''[[Rush Hour]]'']]

==Webley Mark VI==
The [[Webley Mk VI]] appears in Vanguard, simply called the "Top Break" due to its break-action chamber. It is shown using .45 ACP ammunition, which is anachronistic, as the .45 ACP modifications for Webley revolvers were made after the war. It can also be rechambered in 9mm and ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). It can be fired in single-action, although it doesn't even have an animation change (with the hammer magically cocking itself without the user thumbing it back) and makes no difference to the weapons performance. A suppressor can incorrectly be used with the revolver, something which is impossible in real-life due to the lack of a gas seal.

The initial draw animation for the akimbo Webleys features a cowboy-esque spin of the left revolver. As for the break-action nature of the revolver, the game fudges it by simply thrusting down with the revolver in the character's hand, without pressing the latch to open the revolver up, followed by the equally impossible speedloader reload off-screen, as is tradition for ''Call of Duty''.

=Submachine Guns=
==BSA Welgun==
The [[Welgun|BSA Welgun]] was added in Season 1.
[[File:Welgun.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Birmingham Small Arms Welgun - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

==M1A1 Thompson==
An [[M1A1 Thompson]] appears as the “M1928”, fitted with a 50 drum magazine by default, which is impossible for the M1 Thompsons (but is possible on actual M1928 Thompsons). An extended drum attachment holds 100 rounds, which do exist but never saw adoption in WWII. The initial draw animation involves the player locking open the bolt, then flicking the safety off (although it never moves and is always pointed at fire). In the beta, a conversion to .30-06 was available, based on [[Media:Thompson .30-06.jpg|this image]] of a prototype M1A1 in .30-06, though the in-game version lacks the necessary lengthened receiver and recoil spring tube of the real prototype. As of the official release, this conversion has been removed and replaced with a “30 round fast mag”, which gives the gun 30 round box magazines. Interestingly, while the Cutts compensator is available in game, it is currently not available on the Thompson. Other customisation options include the ability to remove the stock, the iconic forward pistol grip, and the M1928 Thompson iron sights, both flipped up and down as different attachments.

The Warzone incarnation of the weapon is bizarrely labelled as the "M1912", despite the first Thompson prototype only appearing in 1917 and the M1A1 appearing in the later years of WWII.

==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is an SMG available in the game. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, somehow holding 64 rounds. It can also be equipped with 24-round "fast mags", or rechambered in 7.62x25mm Tokarev or 7.92x33mm Kurz.

===MP41===
The "VDD 34M" stock adds an old Bergmann-style rifle wood stock, effectively turning the weapon into the [[MP41]] (though it retains the MP40's underbarrel resting plate).

The "Shredder" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a blueprint for the [[MP40]], turning it into a heavily customized MP41. It also briefly appears in the Alpha trailer, kitted out with a skeleton Thompson grip, an [[MP18]] barrel and a magazine similar in design to the ''Trommelmagazin 08''.

==Owen Gun==
The [[Owen Gun]] is carried by 2nd Lieutenant Riggs as his main weapon of choice throughout the campaign. For whatever reason, its model is mirrored, with the charging handle and sights on the left side instead of the right. One of the stock attachments gives the gun an Owen MKII stock.
[[File:Owen MkI 1942.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Owen Mk I - 9x19mm Parabellum.

==PPSh-41==
The [[PPSh-41]] is featured in the game. The [[PPS-43]] magwell is no longer present from the ''WWII'' model and the cyclic rate more closely matches real PPSh rates. The barrel is lengthened just beyond the heatshield and has a threaded endcap for muzzle customization.

===K-50M===

==Sten Mk II==
The [[Sten Mk II]] is featured in the game with the top of the rear sight chopped off. The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon, instead of the more accurate 50 round magazine from the [[Lanchester Mk. I]]. A .45 ACP conversion is also available.

It is Sergeant Arthur Kingsley's main weapon of choice in the campaign.

[[File:CODVanguard Trailer StenMK2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sergeant Kingsley firing the Sten Mk II. Upon further examination, the rear sight appears to have been chopped in half. The few frames of it being fired it appears to be correctly depicted firing from an open bolt, however, the bolt never moves forward to fire the round in the chamber for some reason. The bolt is erroneously modeled as an entire solid block extending to the back of the receiver, creating this goof where the bolt clips through the back of the receiver when firing. Also note that, for some reason, the buttplate is rotated 90 degrees. No shells are ejected when firing either. Unlike this shot, the Sten is held by the magwell in first person. Fortunately, all of the above issues have been fixed in the beta.]]

===Sten Mk I/Sten Mk VI Hybrid===
The "Wildwood" submachine gun in the Frontline weapons pack is a hybrid combining original Sten Mk I with the pistol grip, fixed stock and suppressor from the [[Sten Mk VI]].

==Type 100==
The [[Type 100 submachine gun]] returns as an available SMG. In the campaign, it is used by Japanese soldiers, and is Lieutenant Wade Jackson's weapon of choice. Like in ''World at War'' its usage is once again too exaggerated and overrepresented this time even more bizarrely being also used by the Germans in the Beatrice operator cinematic. It appears to be modelled after the later war version of the Type 100, which is odd given that the game's Pacific campaign takes place before 1944.

The ''Trommelmagazin 08'' from the Luger is incorrectly available as an extended drum magazine for the weapon. It should be noted a 9mm magazine would never work in an 8mm SMG, the magazine is inserted the wrong way round and it is stated to be an "8mm Kurz" (7.92x33mm) conversion, a caliber much too large for the ''Trommelmagazin 08''. For whatever reason, a slightly shorter [[AKS-74]] stock appears as the "Warubachi Skeletal" stock attachment.

=Shotguns=
==Becker revolving shotgun==
The [[Becker revolving shotgun]] appears in the game as the "Einhorn Revolving", changed from the more generic "Revolving Shotgun" name seen in the beta. Being a rare and sophisticated European shotgun (only about 100 examples being ever produced, at a time when only the U.S. issued combat shotguns), it was unlikely to have been used as a military weapon during WWII in reality. Nevertheless, it shows up very frequently in the campaign as the shotgun of choice for enemy forces, both German and even Japanese. At the start of every reload, the ejector rod is correctly used to remove the last spent shell.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine is available as the "fast mag" for the Becker. The cylinder itself is replaced with a fixed plug that serves as a receiver; however, the spent cartridges are still ejected through the loading port on the right, making the whole thing mechanically questionable (i.e., in reality, it would require an entire Dardick-style do-over of the feed system). Other modifications change the caliber of the shotgun to 12 gauge - which is mechanically plausible, but the Becker was only ever in 16 gauge. A completely fictional 7 shell extended cylinder is also an option, although it doesn't rotate, which is a problem for a revolving shotgun. It can also use birdshot of an unidentified (presumably 16 gauge) caliber.

The ejector rod is still used at the start of a reload. The right hand is used when non-empty; the empty reload is similar to ''WWII'''s Toggle-Action empty reload with a tacticool mag swap.]]

==Browning Auto-5==
The [[Browning Auto-5]] appears in the game as the "Gracey Auto", replacing the generic "Auto-Loading Shotgun" name from the beta. The in-game Auto-5 anachronistically has the post-1953 Auto-5s' "Speed-load" features; the gun can be reloaded without holding down the carrier/bolt release button (which pre-1953 Auto-5s required), and the first shell inserted into an empty Auto-5 is automatically chambered.

One of the attachments allows you to reload all 5 shells at once, making it far faster than the base reload. Another attachment adds the same fictional detachable magazine from ''WWII's'' [[Walther automatic shotgun|Walther toggle-action]], with a rather optimistic 7-round capacity.

[[Image:CODV auto 7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a good look at the open ejection port, note the foregrip is now more visible.]]

==Lincoln Jeffries Double Barreled Shotgun==
A [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun|full-length double-barreled shotgun]] with exposed hammers is available as simply the "Double Barrel". It appears to be based on a luxury model developed by airgun manufacturer Lincoln Jeffries due to its distinct-looking hammers and its "sh_lindia98" game file name (''Vanguard'', like other recent CoD games, uses a naming scheme for weapon filenames consisting of two letters, the second represented using the NATO phonetic alphabet, so for example the MP-40 is named "sm_mpapa40" and the M1 Garand is the "mr_m1golf"). Humorously, the weapon can be dual-wielded in multiplayer and, in a fairly interesting oversight, foregrips can be mounted too close to the trigger, blocking the shotgun from breaking open all the way. Shells auto eject and hammers recock themselves when reloading akimbo, and this all happens ''faster'' than the regular reload, which is preposterous.
[[File:Lincolnjeffries.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Lincoln Jeffries SxS double-barreled shotgun - 12 gauge]]

==Winchester Model 1897==
The [[Winchester Model 1897]] appears under the "Combat Shotgun" name. Despite having the same name as in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', it is actually the riot gun variant rather than the "Trench Gun" variant seen in previous titles, since it lacks the distinct heat shield and bayonet lug. The proper “Trench Gun” barrel can be equipped via the Gunsmith, named the "Framble No. 3". In the initial release, the hammer was bugged and appeared in both the cocked and uncocked positions after firing and during the empty reload; this was later fixed.

The weapon uses 16 gauge shells by default, but can be modified to fire 12 gauge ones. Other modifications include a detachable magazine and detachable drum magazine, both based on the fictional magazines used on the Toggle-Action" in ''WWII''.

=Rifles=
Unlike the previous WWII games, rifles are sorted into three categories much like the recent games: assault rifles, marksman rifles and sniper rifles. Assault rifles consist of fully-automatic rifles (including LMGs that the game treats as rifles like the BAR and Charlton), as well as the burst-fire Breda PG. Marksman rifles consist of semi-automatic rifles and sniper rifles consist of bolt-action rifles.

==Arisaka Type 38==
The [[Arisaka Type 38]] long rifle is featured as the "Type 99", though the in-game default caliber is the original 6.5x50mm Japanese cartridge and the in-game rifle also has the Type 38's rear sight. However, the proper Type 99 barrel and rear iron sight are available attachments in the Gunsmith. In the campaign, it is the main rifle of the Japanese soldiers, used both scoped and unscoped and often fitted with a bayonet. Stripper clips cannot be used with the sniper scope, despite the latter being offset.

The weapon can be modified to use the 7.7x58mm ammunition of the real [[Arisaka Type 99|Type 99]], albeit in a detachable magazine; this is done with the "8mm Klauser mags" attachment, even though this name is used for 7.92x57mm Mauser attachments on other weapons. The rifle can also weirdly be converted to use the 9x22mmR Japanese cartridge in an [[MG13]] magazine containing only 8 rounds; for some reason, the relevant attachment has a completely different name ("5.6mm", which is normally used for .22 LR attachments of the game). The "fast mags" attachment adds a Gew.43 style magazine, containing an absurdly small 3 rounds. A completely fictional 20-round drum magazine is also available.

==Breda PG==
The Costa Rican contract [[Breda PG]] returns from ''WWII'' as the "ITRA Burst". The weapon fires at 950 RPM, which is incorrect as the real weapon fired at 600 RPM. It is incorrectly chambered in 7.92x57mm; conversions to 6.5x50mm and .303 British are available as attachments. It is prominently and inaccurately used by the Afrika Korps in the African theater missions, probably representing Italian involvement there, however, in reality, it was never adopted for service.

==Fedorov Avtomat==
The [[Fedorov Avtomat]] returns from ''WWII'', again as the "Automaton", a literal translation of its Russian name. It has a much higher rate of fire than in ''WWII'' (roughly double the ROF of the actual rifle), and comes with some sort of ladder sight acting as a viewing window on top of the actual rear sight. A monstrously large fictional 75-round double-drum mag (apparently based on the Beta C-Mag) is available as an attachment option, as well as conversions to .22 LR and 7.62x54mmR (the former in a magazine that looks like a 10-round one but oddly retaining the standard 25-round capacity, and the latter in a fictional 50-round magazine). It can also be equipped with an extended barrel based on the experimental M1924 (which is incorrectly referred to as "M1912" in many sources). Another barrel mod makes the gun fire in five-round bursts.

==Gewehr 43==
The [[Gewehr 43]] is featured. It incorrectly feeds from a curved box magazine whereas, in reality, it is straight. The “fast mag” Gunsmith option fixes this by replacing it with a proper magazine, albeit down-loaded to 8 rounds. A 20 extended magazine option is also available, based off of limited issue prototypes made for the weapon, but never widely issued.
The "Wyvern 570mm Full Auto" barrel attachment for the Gewehr 43 converts it to fire in full-auto, which wouldn't be a wise idea since it can easily empty the magazine in an instant and produce immense recoil.

==Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr==
The [[Gustloff Volkssturmgewehr]] returns from ''WWII''. Despite being developed in late 1944, it makes a lot of anachronistic appearances in the flashbacks before 1945 in the campaign, all the way up to the Tobruk mission in 1941. As expected, it is full-auto, despite the existence of a full-auto Volkssturmgewehr only being a rumour based on the misinterpretation of the name Volkssturmgewehr as representing "Volks-sturmgewehr" (lit. "people-assault rifle") rather than "Volkssturm-gewehr" (lit. "Volkssturm-rifle"). The weapon is slightly visually modified, with a thicker magazine and slightly rounded handguard.

A double-drum mag based on the Beta C-Mag and the MG15 double drum appears in game as an extended magazine attachment, reusing the model from the [[Grossfuss Sturmgewehr]]'s extended magazine in ''WWII''.

The weapon has a visual glitch in that no rifle casings are ejected when the magazine is below half its capacity.

==Hyde 1944 Carbine==
The [[Hyde 1944 Carbine]] was added in Season 1 as the "Cooper Carbine".
[[File:Hyde 1944 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Hyde 1944 Carbine - .30 Carbine]]

==Karabiner 98k==
The [[Karabiner 98k]] rifle appears in the game. Unlike in ''[[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019)|Call of Duty: Modern Warfare]]'', the rounds left on the stripper clip when reloading are tracked properly, which applies to other stripper-clip loaded weapons too. The stripper clip is used with iron sights or other small scopes - larger sniper scopes use round-by-round reloads, as the chamber is blocked and stripper clips cannot be used. The "Krausnick IS98K" iron sight attachment gives the gun a [[Gewehr 98]] ''Lange Visier'' style of rear sight.

A fictional 3-round detachable magazine exists as the fast mag option- detachable magazines would never work with a Mauser rifle due to the design of the receiver rails and feed system. However, the extended magazine is real, based on the 20-rounder [[Gewehr 98]] trench magazine, but is incorrectly depicted as detachable.

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk. I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]] appears exclusively in the campaign and only feeds from a single 5-round clip rather than the usual 10 rounds from two clips. The rear sight is chopped off, so the top half is missing. The bolt is palmed, which was not a technique taught by the British for use on this rifle.

==M1 Garand==
The [[M1 Garand]] appears as a marksman rifle. The mid-clip tactical reload features the player character retaining the half-spent clip in the rifle, but the chambered round is not shown ejecting as they pull back the op-rod/charging handle - instead, a fired casing is ejected instead, which is incorrect. Additionally, the clip release button (below the sight adjustment drum) is never used to release a partially-loaded clip. Unlike in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', this is not a "sticky" Garand, and thus does not need to have the bolt pushed or smacked back into battery after loading a new clip.

Using either the ".30-06 12 Round Mags" or the "16 Round Drums" modifications makes the weapon resemble the T20E3 Garand, an experimental model designed to use detachable magazines. While the straight BAR magazine is real, the drum is not (and appears to be based on the equally fictional extended magazine for ''WWII'''s "Toggle-Action"). It can also be rechambered in .303 Enfield (still using en-bloc clips) or 6.5 Arisaka, using 16-round drum magazines of a slightly different design to the .30-06 ones. When a detachable magazine is equipped, a ping sound effect is still played when the weapon is empty even though obviously no clip is ejected. In Warzone all magazines have their capacity increased by four rounds.

==Mosin Nagant M1891/30==
The [[Mosin Nagant M1891/30]] appears in the game as the "3-Line Rifle". A scoped variant called "Requiem" is used by Polina Petrova as her main weapon of choice throughout the campaign, originally belonging to her father. The stripper clip is incorrectly knocked out of the weapon by the bolt- in reality, it would need to be removed by hand before operating the bolt closed. The striker does not fly forward when the trigger is pulled.

A very anachronistic detachable 3-round magazine appears as the fast mag option for the Mosin (despite the fact that it is longer than the 5-round magazine). A larger detachable magazine option is also available. Both are housed inside the shell of the old integral magazine, making it tricky to fit rounds into them, given the fact the detachable magazine is now narrower than the old one. This may be why they are longer, as single-stack rounds might be able to fit into these magazines. Additionally, the magazine catch to release the magazines is not attached to the magazine well, it is instead attached to the bottom of the detachable magazine, begging the question of how it is supposed to detach the magazine from the rifle.

[[File: VanguardM9130ProperBarrel(2021).jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Gunsmith view of the M1891/30 Mosin Nagant with no scope.]]

==PTRS-41==
The [[PTRS-41]] was added in Season One under the name "Gorenko Anti-Tank Rifle". It's fitted with a PEM scope by default and has a shortened barrel-like in ''Call of Duty: WWII''. When (unrealistically) equipping it with a muzzle attachment, the device is somehow attached directly on top of the default muzzle, not to mention that such smaller muzzles and suppressors would just be destroyed by that caliber in reality.
[[File:PTRS 41.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PTRS-41 - 14.5x114mm]]

==Sturmgewehr 44==
The [[Sturmgewehr 44]] appears as the "STG44". It is used anachronistically in the campaign levels set in Stalingrad in August 1942 when in reality it was first issued in late 1943. It also makes a bizarre appearance in weapon crates found in the Bougainville level set in the Pacific theater in 1943.

There are several magazine modifications. The first is a 45-round drum, which appears to be a heavily modified MG42 drum rechambered for 7.92x33mm Kurz (which appears to be inspired by another Activision-published title, ''[[Wolfenstein]]''). The others all rechamber the weapon - either to "7.62 Gorenko" (7.65x25mm Tokarev) or to ".30 Russian Short" (7.62x39mm). The 7.65x25mm conversion can only use 30-round magazines, which are identical to the regular StG ones except for being shorter and straight, making them far too large for pistol-caliber rounds. The 7.62x39mm conversion can use both 20-round and 30-round magazines; the latter are identical to the 7.65x25mm ones, only with tape wrapped around them, while the 20-round ones are of an identical design, but much shorter. Both are too small to fit 7.62x39mm rounds, and both should be curved rather than straight, as 7.62x39mm rounds have a significant taper to them, giving their magazines a distinctive curve.

The stock can be modified in a variety of ways; these include the option to remove it, or replace it with a "Krausnick S11S Folding" stock based on the Sport-Systeme Dittrich BD-44 folding stock. Both these modifications would be impossible in real life with a regular StG, as its stock contains the recoil spring. The "VDD 34S Weighted" stock is mechanically plausible, but appears to be inspired by the H&K PSG-1's stock (albeit made out of wood rather than plastic), which would be anachronistic by nearly thirty years.

While the HUD states the proper 7.92x33mm chambering, the weapon can be seen ejecting 8mm Mauser casings.

==Sudayev AS-44==
The [[AS-44|Sudayev AS-44]] assault rifle returns from ''WWII'', and like the Fedorov Avtomat has a much higher rate of fire than before. It is anachronistically used in 1942 and is incorrectly depicted as being commonly used by Red Army troops at the Battle of Berlin; while the weapon existed at the time, it was only a prototype being tested in trials and was never actually adopted or issued.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
The [[SVT-40]] returns from ''WWII'', being used by Soviet soldiers and Partisans. It features a short "fast mag" and an extremely long, curved magazine seemingly inspired by 45-round AK magazines. A short barreled version also exists that reflects the short-barreled SKT40. Of interesting fact, the P/U scope in-game is labeled as the “SVT40 PU 3.5x” scope, a reference to the fact that the P/U scope was originally intended for the SVT40 as a sniper rifle, but problems with zeroing the rifles led to the Soviets re-using the scopes and creating new mounts for the Mosin Nagant. Despite this, the gun uses the Mosin Nagant-style of scope mount instead of the original one made for the rifle.

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Gun Mk 2==
The [[Bren gun]] appears in the game as a light machine gun. It has a much more accurate fire rate than in ''Call of Duty: WWII'', but with the rear sight incorrectly mounted on the barrel (or rather, not mounted, since it just floats in mid-air; this appears to be a bug). The player also grips the gas tube, a sure-fire way to burn your hand. The fictional 100-round drum magazine from ''WWII'' also returns in Gunsmith as a possible magazine attachment for it, as opposed to the real-life pan for the MkI. 6.5x50mmSR Arisaka is an available ammo conversion, which is fictional. The magazines used to look like the ones used in the 7.92x57mm Mauser Bren guns.

Arthur Kingsley starts off with one during the final mission during the Battle of Berlin, despite holding an MP40 in the cutscene before.

===ZB vz. 26===
Equipping the "Queen's 775, Scepter" barrel, "Akura 30 Rounds Mags," and "Oak & Shield 12B" stock gives the Bren the general appearance of a [[ZB vz. 26]], just with the later Bren rear sight.

==Charlton Automatic Rifle==
The [[Charlton Automatic Rifle]] returns from ''WWII'', again named the "NZ-41" and classed as an assault rifle. As with ''WWII'', its model is mirrored and uses 10-round SMLE magazines by default, though this time they hold a ludicrous 30 rounds in gameplay (as compared to ''WWII'''s also-inaccurate 24). It can be modified with an extended Bren magazine. It can be rechambered in both 7.92x57mm Mauser and 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds; the latter's magazine model is that of a 30-round Bren magazine, which ironically would be appropriate for the default model but not the rechambered one.

==Degtyaryov DP-27==
A [[Degtyaryov DP-27]] with the pistol grip of the [[Degtyaryov DPM|DPM]] variant is indexed as the "DP27" in ''Vanguard''. It has a noticeably higher rate of fire than the real weapon, and the pan magazine holds 63 rounds (like on the tank-mounted DT variants) instead of 47. A proper 47 round pan magazine is available in the Gunsmith, although the magazine model will not reflect the real-world magazine.

An upgraded pan magazine holds 105 rounds, while the 30 round "speed belt" upgrade converts the weapon into effectively an [[Degtyaryov RP-46|RP-46]], which is anachronistic, and also peculiar as a "speed" option, as a belt should take longer to reload then a magazine. With this upgrade, the chamber still has a round in it when reloading from empty. The player holds the weapon with their fingers in the way of the bolt, which would be very painful in real life. Additionally, one of the stock options uses the stock of the [[PKM]], which is anachronistic by a few decades.

==M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle==
The [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] appears with a stylized and elongated handguard by default, classified as an assault rifle in game. The gun is select fire in game, but lacks the slow/fast auto settings and retains the semi/full auto selector like that of the original BAR. The in game model also has holes drilled into the trigger guard and a fictional box magazine in MP by default. It should be noted that in the single player, the BAR is fitted with the correct handguard and magazine model. Equipped the ‘8mm Klauser” magazine will give you the proper magazine model. Barrel attachments include the Colt R75A ribbed barrel and carry handle, but with the proper A2 handguard. The two curved magazine options are based off of the Kg m/21 and experimental 40 round curved magazine made for AA purposes (in WWI) respectively. Both are labeled as being in “.50 BMG,” a rather ludicrous choice to take the roll of the .50 Beowulf rounds from Modern Warfare 2019.
Anachronistic 10 round aftermarket magazines are available as the "12 round fast mags", which holds 2 rounds too many. The late-war carrying handle is anachronistic for most campaign missions the BAR appears in.

==MG42==
The [[MG42]] returns from ''WWII'' with a much more accurate rate of fire. The drum holds a correct 50 rounds in the campaign, but an incorrect 125 in multiplayer. Originally in the beta, the gun had it’s flash hider removed and this can still be seen in single-player cutscenes. Upon release, however, the flash hider was added back onto the gun and won’t be replaced unless a muzzle attachment is swapped out. The belt links are incorrectly depicted as disintegrating. Like the DP-27, the fast mag option adds a belt of 50 rounds, which would more than likely take longer to reload than the drum in real life. The MG42 can be rechambered for 6.5x50mm Arisaka rounds or even more ludicrously, .50 BMG. A square belt box appears as an extended option, this box is anachronistic, borrowed from the post-war [[MG3]]. The "VDD 680mm 31M" barrel attachment makes the weapon resemble the [[Talk:MG34|Rheinmetall MG 39 Rh]].

In the campaign, the MG42 is used extensively, both in man-portable form by "Jagermorders" or German heavy soldiers, and mounted on vehicles and emplacements. It also makes a bizarre appearance in the Bougainville mission set in the Pacific theater, used in Japanese positions, and Wade Jackson even uses a modified one to clear a Japanese airfield.

==Type 11==
The [[Type 11 light machine gun]] is available. It reloads in a very similar manner to ''[[Battlefield V]]'''s default Type 11; the hopper is removed and exchanged for a new one, or a clip is simply inserted if one is expended (though the clip-based reload is only used if the number of missing rounds is a multiple of 5, likely to ensure that reloads will always top off the hopper completely. One upgrade is a completely fictional [[ZB-26]]-style straight magazine holding 20 rounds; fictional drum magazines are also available.
Despite being a Japanese machine gun, the Type 11 is inexplicably found in the opening mission "Phoenix", set in Germany.

===Type 91===
Removing the stock turns the Type 11 into a Type 91, vehicle-mounted version.

==Vickers Mk. I==
A man-portable depiction of the [[Vickers|Vickers Mk. I]] is available in the game as a killstreak called the "Deathmachine" (or "Frankengun" during the Alpha). It has 100 rounds, which are explosive, as well as unusable AA sights. One of the voice lines when deploying it yells "Spinning up Deathmachine!" implying that the devs believe that the Vickers is some form of Gatling gun, not unlike the [[M134]] used in previous games in the franchise. When the weapon is empty, the ammo crate is still modeled with rounds in it.

=Grenades & Explosives=
==Bangalore Torpedo==
A Bangalore Torpedo is used by Kingsley to destroy the naval guns in the Merville Gun Battery mission. This is a reference to the fact that the British paratroopers in the actual operation lacked sappers and proper explosives and resorted to using whatever was available such as Gammon bombs' plastic explosive for the task.

==Mk. 2 Grenade==
American [[Mk 2 hand grenade]]s are used by US forces during the campaign. It is also the standard grenade in multiplayer.

==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
[[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]]s can be used in the campaign, called "Model 24 Hand Grenade". It is also carried by Nazi zombies.
[[Image:M24handgrenade.JPG|thumb|none|400px|Model 24 Stielhandgranate "Potato Masher" high-explosive fragmentation hand grenade]]

==Mills Bomb==
[[Mills Bomb]]s are carried by British paratroopers in the reveal trailer. They also appear in artwork for the Warmachine field upgrade.

==No. 69 Mk. I==
The [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade|No. 69 Mk. 1]] returns from ''WWII'', once again incorrectly depicted as a stun grenade. It is also incorrectly used by the Germans in the Hamburg mission. The multiplayer characters throw it using only one hand in a rather tactical and too modern manner for the setting due to reusing ''Modern Warfare'' mechanics.

[[Image:No77Mk1can.jpg|thumb|none|180px|No. 77, W.P. Mk. I Incendiary Smoke hand grenade.]]

==No. 82 "Gammon Bomb"==
The [[Gammon Grenade|No. 82 Gammon Bomb]] appeared as the "Impact Grenade" in the Alpha; the release build of the game changed this to "Gammon Bomb".
[[File:Gammon.jpg|thumb|none|No. 82 Gammon Grenade]]

[[File:CoDVanguard-RPGAT1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|]]

==S-Mine==
The [[S-Mine]] returns as the "S-Mine 44" (being generically referred to as the "Proximity Mine" in the Alpha); gameplay-wise, it is analogous to the [[M18 Claymore]] from the series' more modern entries, with an incorrect proximity fuze instead of the real mine's pressure-based fuze.
[[File:SMine35.jpg|thumb|none|400px|S-Mine 35. Note the fuze is in the center of the mine body; the later S-Mine 44's fuze was instead offset.]]

==Unidentified smoke grenade==
An unidentified stun/smoke grenade is used by a British paratrooper in the reveal trailer.

=Flamethrowers=
==Flammenwerfer 41==
The German [[Flammenwerfer 41]] is available as part of the "Flamenaut" streak, which also includes a heavy armored suit like the "Flame Trooper" from ''[[Battlefield 1]]''. This suit obscures your vision but gives you much more health. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the [[Flammenwerfer 35]].

[[File:Vanguard Flamenaut.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Flamenaut killstreak's artwork; note how the suit comes with what appears to be an anachronistic Soviet GP-5 gas mask.]]

==M2 Flamethrower==
The [[M2 Flamethrower]] is exclusive to the campaign; it is used by an American soldier during the Pacific segment, and is later taken and used by Wade Jackson to burn out Japanese positions. An unusable M2 Flamethrower is also seen on a table in the buy round of the "Champion Hill" multiplayer mode.
[[File:M2-2FlameAth.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M2-2 flamethrower]]
[[File:VanguardFlamethrowerLewis1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Lewis Howard lights up a Japanese position with his M2.]]

=Launchers=
==Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I==
The [[Ordnance SBML 2 inch Mortar|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I]] appears as the "MK11 Launcher". The "Warmachine" killstreak is a fictional version of it that somehow fires in semi-auto and feeds from a drum magazine reminiscent of the [[AGS-17 Plamya]]'s belt box.
[[File:2 inch Smoke Mortar.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Bomb Thrower, 2 inch, Mk I (UK) / 2 inch Mortar M3 (US) - 50.8mm smoke bomb]]

[[File:Codvg-warmachine-idle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ditto for the "Warmachine".]]

==M1 Bazooka==
The [[M1 Bazooka]] is the first launcher available. The igniter wire is missing and it is reloaded in such a way that the rocket would just fall down the tube.

[[File:Vanguard M1 Bazooka (1).jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Bazooka in the loadout selection preview.]]

==Panzerfaust==
The [[Panzerfaust]] appears as a usable weapon. Contrary to its single-shot nature in real life, it is erroneously depicted as being reloadable like the Panzerfaust 150, which started development in early 1945, though its in-game description stills call it a "disposable launcher".

==Webley & Scott No. 1 Mk. V Signal Pistol==
The [[Webley & Scott No.1 Mk. V Signal Pistol]] is used several times in key moments throughout the campaign. It is incorrectly depicted as double-action-only.

German 15 cm TbtsK C/36 naval guns are destroyed by the British paratroopers during the Merville Gun Battery mission. However, this is inaccurate since there were no such guns nor Regelbau M272 casemates as depicted in-game. The actual guns at Merville were old Skoda houfnice vz. 14/19.

Soviet T-34/85 medium tanks have hull-mounted [[Degtyaryov DT]] machine guns. Some of these late war tanks are seen during the Stalingrad single-player campaign. It is worth mentioning that this model is anachronistic for the Stalingrad scenario; the earlier T-34/76 would be more correct.
