	In some missions in ''Stalin Subway'', you can play as Natasha Mikhalyova who carries the [[Luger P08]], called the "Mauser P-08" in-game (possibly indicating a WWII-era Mauser-produced example), as her starting weapon. Ammo for the gun is rare, and weapon is rather weak, making it an emergency weapon at best until a better weapon can be used. Like the Hi-Power, no enemy uses it.

Oddly in ''Red Veil'', the intro cutscene actually shows Lena drawing and loading a Makarov only to have the Browning Hi-Power when gameplay starts as well as carrying the maximum capacity of reserve ammuniton of the Makarov once the player picks one up.

			Caution must be taken when using the F-1, PTRS-41 or RPG-2 as Stalin Subway simulates bullet ricochet and all of the game's explosive weaponry release "shrapnel" bullets that can potentially ricochet around and hit the player even if a grenade is thrown from behind cover.
			Due to an oversight, the F-1 Grenade is considered a "weapon" and not "ammo" so the player can pickup F-1 Grenades even if they've already hit the maximum amount, resulting in "wasting" F-1 Grenades as they'll vanish after being picked up.
