	Three DLC packs have been released since Infinite's success; the arena-style ''Clash in the Clouds'' and the two-part sub-story ''Burial at Sea''. Episode 1 (released November 12th 2013) transplants Booker and Elizabeth to the underwater city of Rapture, mere hours before the New Years Riots of 1959, on the search for this Booker's adopted daughter "Sally". Episode 2 (released March 25th 2014) features Elizabeth trying to escape Rapture with Sally in tow (and things get strange from there).

	The [[M1 Carbine]] is a general-use semi-automatic rifle found fairly early in the game, referred to as the "Carbine" in game and the "Huntsman" in the trophy / achievement list; unused text refers to it as the "Huntsman M1". The weapon features a ~~postwar~~-style rear sight, a mirrored double-sided charging handle with an odd projection behind it which resembles the magazine cutoff of an old-model [[Lee-Enfield]], uncomfortable-looking metal bands around the handguard, and the words "Acta Non Verba" ("actions not words") engraved on the left side of the receiver. The weapon uses an oversized [[M14]]-esque magazine which quite clearly contains 7.62mm NATO rounds instead of .30 Carbine; by default the magazine only holds eight rounds despite being a 20-rounder; this increases to a still-too-small 12 when the magazine size upgrade is purchased.

	A second version made by Vox Populi rebels is available later in the game; the "Burstgun" has a default 30-round magazine (despite using the same 20-round model) and is fitted with a scope (or more accurately a magnifying lens with an X drawn on it which would be practically useless for aiming) and a machine gun-style barrel jacket. This version somehow fires in three-round bursts despite having a receiver which is identical to that of the standard semi-auto variant.

	One of the most common weapons in the game is a heavily modified and shortened [[ZK-383]], an early Czech SMG, with a lower angled magazine, no forestock, and an enlarged heat shield. The weapon is incorrectly referred to as the "Machine Gun" in-game and the "Triple R" (for "Rolsten Reciprocating Repeater") in the trophy / achievement list. Booker uses the magazine as a grip, which is generally a bad idea with weapons where this is possible since it tends to cause jams and damaged magazines, but since the heat shield somehow becomes incandescent during protracted firing it is probably the safer option. The weapon has a 35-round magazine, which increases to a rather implausible 70 when the weapon is fully upgraded.

	The Vox Populi version is simply called the "Repeater," and boasts increased damage but a slower rate of fire. Despite having a large MP18-style snail drum magazine, it actually has a lower capacity of just 20 rounds, and has different iron sights and a rounded charging handle that appears to be taken from a hand tool like a hole punch or screwdriver.

The proportions are much better (bar the oversized barrel with absurdly large compensator which doesn't do much for the recoil), the weapon has a much cleaner appearance, a ghost ring rear sight, custom charging handle, gold decor, and a horizontal foregrip as opposed to the vertical one seen in previous games. It has a reduced magazine capacity of 35 rounds and can only hold about two magazines at any one time, so conserving ammo and saving it for when it is absolutely necessary is recommended.

	An ornately engraved [[Colt 1851 Navy]] revolver is the second pistol available in the game, referred to as the "Hand Cannon" in game and the "Paddywhacker" in the trophy / achievement listing. Early footage showed it with an incorrect swing-out cylinder, but the version in the final game is instead a still-incorrect top-break design with an automatic extractor and the frame extended over the top of the cylinder. Bizarrely, the weapon still appears to have the loading lever of the percussion cap model, though it is encased in a surround which would render it useless. Booker reloads it using a speedloader which somehow causes the extractor to retract itself when the rounds are inserted, and it is shown as single-action with Booker thumb-cocking the hammer after each shot.

Elizabeth's animations with the weapon in Episode 2 are slower and more clunky, showing her inexperience with firearms.

	The C96 model in the game is a fictional hybrid of the standard C96 and the M712 ''Schnellfeuer''; it is semi-automatic only, but features a detachable box magazine; despite the magazine being a 10-rounder which does not project below the magazine well, it has a capacity of 12 rounds, upgradable to 18. On the left side of the weapon is a lever resembling the magazine release of a Thompson SMG, which replaces the push-button release of the real weapon, and the magazine well features ribs which serve no obvious purpose. The in-game pistol also has a short barrel, making it more like a "Bolo" model. If the player pre-ordered the game (or bought later DLC), they will receive a gold-plated version with more damage.		The C96 model in the game is a fictional hybrid of the standard C96 and the M712 ''Schnellfeuer''; it is semi-automatic only, but features a detachable box magazine; despite the magazine being a 10-rounder which does not project below the magazine well, it has a capacity of 12 rounds, upgradable to 18. On the left side of the weapon is a lever resembling the magazine release of a Thompson SMG, which replaces the push-button release of the real weapon, and the magazine well features ribs which serve no obvious purpose. The in-game pistol also has a short barrel, making it more like a "Bolo" model. If the player pre-ordered the game (or bought later DLC), they will receive a gold-plated version with more damage.

	The [[M1 Carbine]] is a general-use semi-automatic rifle found fairly early in the game, referred to as the "Carbine" in game and the "Huntsman" in the trophy / achievement list. The weapon features a postwar-style rear sight, a mirrored double-sided charging handle with an odd projection behind it which resembles the magazine cutoff of an old-model [[Lee-Enfield]], uncomfortable-looking metal bands around the handguard, and the words "Acta Non Verba" ("actions not words") engraved on the left side of the receiver. The weapon uses an oversized [[M14]]-esque magazine which quite clearly contains 7.62mm NATO rounds instead of .30 Carbine; by default the magazine only holds eight rounds despite being a 20-rounder; this increases to a still-too-small 12 when the magazine size upgrade is purchased.

	A second version made by Vox Populi rebels is available later in the game; the "Burstgun" has a default 30-round magazine (despite using the same 20-round model) and is fitted with a scope (or more accurately a magnifying lens with an X drawn on it which would be practically useless for aiming) and a machine gun-style barrel jacket. This version somehow fires in three-round bursts despite having a receiver which is identical to that of the standard semi-auto variant.
