	'''''Singularity''''' is a science-fiction first person shooter video game developed by Raven Software and published by Activision in 2010 for the PC, Xbox 360 & PS3. The game takes place on a fictional Russian island called Katorga-12, once home to a research base which developed technology using the mysterious "Element 99." The player character, Captain Renko, is part of a US task force sent to investigate reports of strange activity on the island, soon found to be a result of the time-altering powers of Element 99.

	''Singularity'' uses the typical two-weapon system for the player's inventory, with the choice of a revolver, assault rifle, sniper rifle, shotgun, grenade launcher, railgun, and a GAU-19-inspired three-barrel rotary gun incorrectly identified as the "autocannon." In addition, there are two "special" weapons, a command-guided projectile rifle called the "Seeker" and a SACLOS rocket launcher, which can be picked up and carried as a third weapon but will be discarded if the player switches weapons. All of the player-used armament consists of fictional "Frankenguns" which are hybrids of numerous modern weapon parts embellished with "high tech" additions such as exposed cables and rotating turbine-like contraptions, while all the real guns in the game are used only by enemies or other NPCs.

	The game allows player-used weapons to be upgraded to increase their damage, reload speed or magazine size; predictably, the latter is incorrectly called "clip size."

	In early preview screenshots, Russian soldiers were rather mysteriously armed with the [[Sturmgewehr 44]] rather than the AK-47 they use in the final version. Precisely why is unclear; the AK-47 was available in 1955 (though mass production had not fully settled until 1956) and even if Katorga-12 had not been issued it yet, Russian soldiers would be using SKS rifles or PPSh-41 or PPS-43 submachine guns, not rare and notoriously delicate WW2-vintage German weapons.

Soviet soldiers guarding in 1955 the Katorga-12 facility use the the [[Winchester Model 1897\|Model 1897 "Trench Gun"]] rather than the fictional "Volk S4" that enemies in the present use. The soldiers are never seen pumping or reloading the shotgun; the former is most likely due to recycling the animations for the semi-automatic Volk shotgun. Their appearance is somewhat contrived, because Soviet and most of the other powers then still don't officially use shotguns in their military; although there is some evidence that they were sometimes used by second-line troops, it would still be ordinary field shotguns, not "trench" version. In addition, a much more common [[Winchester Model 1912\|M1912]] would be a more appropriate choice.
