	The Assault classes of all factions have access to the [[M83 ~~Smoke Grenade~~]], unless they equip the G3; as that weapon lacks an underbarrel grenade launcher, they instead get the same four frag grenades the other classes have. It generates a thick cloud of white smoke when thrown.

	The [[M4A1 carbine]] (called the three-round burst "M4" in-game) is the main weapon of the USMC Special Forces class.

	Set in the modern day, ''Battlefield 2'' base game features three factions: the United States Marine Corps (USMC), China, and the fictional army of the Middle Eastern Coalition (MEC). ''Battlefield 2'' received one "expansion pack", ''Special Forces'', and two "booster packs", ''Euro Force'' and ''Armored Fury''. ''Special Forces'' added several new factions, including Navy SEALs, Special Air Service, MEC Special Forces (listed on this page as "MECSF" to prevent confusion with the Middle Eastern Coalition Special Forces class), Insurgents, Rebels, and Spetsnaz. ''Euro Force'' added the European Union (EU) faction, presumably representing some kind of unified EU army.

	The [[RPG-7]], fitted with a PGO-7 scope, appears as the main rocket launcher for the Rebel and Insurgent factions. Despite being a Russian launcher, the Spetsnaz ~~do not~~ use it. Unlike other anti-tank weapons ~~like the ERYX or SRAW~~, its rocket cannot be steered. Over long ranges, the weapon must be aimed at an angle to effectively reach a moving target. It should also be noted that the reticle of the PGO-7 scope mounted on the weapon in the game is rather crude; a simple crosshair pattern instead of the more intricate reticle of the real PGO-7 scope.

	~~Called the~~ "DAO-12" ~~shotgun in game,~~ the [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12]] is the first weapon ~~unlock~~ for the Anti-Tank class. While "DAO-12" is commonly mistaken for the weapon's actual name, "DAO" is only really used relative to the weapon's "Double Action Only" trigger, not the whole device. It has a 12-round drum magazine, but because of its big magazine capacity, it has a relatively weaker damage compared to other shotguns, and has a time consuming reload process.		The "DAO-12" is a hybrid of the [[SWD/Cobray Street Sweeper]] and the [[Sentinel Arms Striker-12]]: it has the winding key of the former, but combined with the latter's thumb tab next to the trigger guard. It is the first weapon unlocked for the Anti-Tank class. While "DAO-12" is commonly mistaken for the weapon's actual name, "DAO" is only really used relative to the weapon's "Double Action Only" trigger, not the whole device. It has a 12-round drum magazine, but because of its big magazine capacity, it has a relatively weaker damage compared to other shotguns, and has a time consuming reload process.

	The in-game reload animation is greatly simplified compared to reality. The player character simply loads the number of rounds fired (never advancing the drum between the rounds), then twists the winding key twice to finish the reload.
