== General overview ==
'''''Unit 13''''' is a game with third-person and first-person elements; movement is carried out in a third-person perspective and combat, first-person and/or third-person view depending on whether or not players elect to use optical attachments. Players can generally select a maximum of two firearms, which are a primary and secondary weapon. The former contains multiple archetypes, such as assault rifles, carbines, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns and launchables, while the latter is limited to a pistol; the game automatically issues this and players can never select, swap out or drop their handgun. Enemies may carry different weapons depending on the situation: for example, riflemen would be armed with carbines, pointmen with shotguns, sharpshooters with sniper rifles and high-value-targets with launchers. Interestingly, the opposing faction is ''never'' seen carrying a pistol and will always use a primary weapon which seems to be loaded with infinite rounds.
Unit 13 is a game with third-person and first-person elements; movement is carried out in a third-person perspective and aiming down sights, first-person view unless players specifically elect not to attach sights. Players can generally select a maximum of two firearms, which are a primary and secondary weapon. The former contains multiple archetypes, such as assault rifles, carbines, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns and launchables, while the latter is limited to a pistol; the game automatically issues this and players can never select, swap out or drop their handgun. Enemies may carry different weapons depending on the situation: for example, riflemen would be armed with carbines, pointmen with shotguns, sharpshooters with sniper rifles and high-value-targets with launchers. Interestingly, the opposing faction is ''never'' seen carrying a pistol and will always use a primary weapon, regardless of the circumstances.


== Assault rifles ==
Most of the game's weapon models seem to be recycled from ''[[SOCOM 4: US Navy SEALs]]'', one of the now-defunct Zipper's previous games.
=== Bushmaster Advanced Combat Rifle===
The ACR is the Commando's first and default weapon. Possesses a rather linear recoil pattern and a firing rate that makes it generally useful in a variety of combat circumstances but it lacks the precision of specialist weapons in terms of effective distance. Can be fitted with an integral suppressor or muzzle brake and a variable zoom, ACOG or red dot sight.

{{spoilers}}


===AK-47===
{{VG Title}}
The Kalashnikov assault rifle is used by most terrorist infantry personnel and some High Value Targets. Far from containing 30 rounds per mag (which is in fact what it would have), the game incorrectly allows one to equip a 40-round cartridge (unless, of course, it has an extended magazine by default). It is always fitted with an ACOG no matter the situation when the player picks it up.


[[Image:AK47.jpg|thumb|An early version of the game, where the AK-47 was apparently an optional weapon. Quite a questionable act on the part of Zipper Interactive, which developed the game, because such a weapon would never be seen in the hands of conventional security forces, law enforcement personnel or military soldiers, least of all those from the United States of America (which is where at least some of the player's squad hails from). It is generally common knowledge that terrorists are the main people in possession of this firearm.]]

===M14 EBR===
==AK-47==
The EBR is the Commando's final unlock. Unlike its sniper variant, this one is chambered to fire full auto and has 15 rounds per magazine when in reality it would possess 20 per cartridge.
The [[AK-47]] assault rifle is used by most terrorist infantry personnel and some High Value Targets. Bizarrely, despite carrying 30 rounds per magazine in reality, the game allows one to equip a 40-round magazine (unless, of course, it has an extended magazine by default). It is always fitted with an ACOG no matter the situation when the player picks it up.

===FN FAL===
==Rock SOPMOD M14==
Enemies may on occassion use the FN FAL battle rifle. It is a heavy hitting weapon that fires in single-shot or three-round bursts, but in the game it, for some reason whatsoever, is switched to full auto mode, and equips a 20-round 7.62mm NATO magazine. It has a variable zoom sight regardless of the situation, but its blazing fast fire rate significantly limits the potential of this attachment's usefulness.
The [[M14_Rifle#ROCK_SOPMOD_M14|Rock SOPMOD M14]] is the Commando's final unlock. It fires in 3-round burst and has an inaccurate 15-round starting magazine capacity instead of 20, but when leveling up the appropriate character it is possible to unlock an extended magazine, increasing the mag size to a more accurate 30 rounds (such magazines do exist for the M14/M1A platform).

It is a heavy hitting weapon that fires in single-shot or three-round bursts, but in the game it, for some reason whatsoever, is switched to full auto mode, and equips a 20-round 7.62mm NATO magazine.

=== M27 IAR ===
== FAMAS G2 ==
The Technician, Chuckles, is armed with the M27 Infantry Assault Rifle by default.  
The [[FAMAS G2]] is the Technician's first unlock. It is unrealistically fitted with a 50-round drum magazine when in fact this would use a 20- or 30-round cartridge (unless, once again, it has an extended magazine by default). It also fires in 3-round bursts which would improve player accuracy at long range but is less effective for spray-and-prey type combat circumstances.

=== FA MAS G2 ===
== Patriot Ordnance Factory IAR ==
The FA MAS is the Technician's first unlock. It is unrealistically fitted with a 50-round drum magazine when in fact this would use a 20- or 30-round cartridge (unless, once again, it has an extended magazine by default). It also fires in 3-round bursts which would improve player accuracy at long range but is less effective for spray-and-prey type combat circumstances.
Seen in the demo but cut from the final game, the [[POF IAR]] is used only for one mission "Anu Air Force Base" but nowhere else.

[[Image:Unit13_HK416.jpg|thumb|none|500px]]


=== Heckler and Koch HK416 ===
== AKS-74U==
Seen in the demo but cut from the final game, the HK416 is used only for one mission 'Anu Air Force Base' but nowhere else.  
Enemy riflemen may sometimes be seen with the [[AKS-74U]]. Because of the reduced size and its rifle-grade rounds, the 74 possesses substantial recoil even at medium-distance combat and should only be counted on as a reliable close-range self-defense weapon.

== Personal defense weapons ==
== Heckler and Koch G36C ==
The [[Heckler & Koch G36C]] with a 100-round Beta C-Mag is the Technician's last weapon. Called "AR36".

=== AK-74 SU===
= Submachine guns =
Enemy riflemen may sometimes be seen with the AK-74SU. This is a cut-down version of the true AK-47 rifle that has a shortened barrel. Because of the reduced size and its rifle-grade rounds, the 74 possesses substantial recoil even at medium-distance combat and should only be counted on as a reliable close-range self-defense weapon.


=== SSP 90 ===
== FN P90 ==
The Infiltrator's last weapon. Carries 50 rounds per magazine but very little reserve ammo; outclassed by light machine guns in this regard.

= Shotguns =
 
== Remington 870 Modular Combat Shotgun System ==
The Remington 870, or R11-87 as it's called in-game, is a single-fire shotgun that somehow possesses a ridiculously high damage and accuracy rating. As for why Zipper decided to make such a weapon both a devastating firearm at close distance and a long-range sniper when shotguns in fact suffer from damage falloff at extreme ranges is an absolute mystery.


=== Remington 870 Modular Combat Shotgun System ===
[[Image:Model870P_MAXlg.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington 870 Police with a Surefire dedicated forend weaponlight - 12 gauge]]
The Remington 870, or R11-87 as it's called in-game, is a single-fire shotgun that somehow possesses a ridiculously high damage and accuracy rating. In reality, slug ammo would be extremely devastating against a target like a deer as compared to a .30-30, taking down even the biggest buck. At close range, buckshot and slugs are great against large animals (and perhaps people, but having no practical use due to legal and ethical reasons). As for why Zipper decided to make such a weapon both a devastating firearm at close distance and a long-range sniper when shotguns in fact suffer from damage falloff at extreme ranges is an absolute mystery.

Unlike its real-life variant, the game's grenade launcher is extremely unfaithful: a round fired too close to oneself automatically kills the wielder. Being hazardous aside, this is highly unrealistic in a realistic combat circumstance for launched grenades would only detonate after traveling a varying distance between 2 and 14 meters based on the specific grenade model used. Not only that, they also have to have revolved a set number of revolutions before their fuses could even prime.

PS Vita front cover page
Series: Unit 13
Platforms: Playstation Vita
Genre: Stealth, third-person shooter


Unit 13 is a game with third-person and first-person elements; movement is carried out in a third-person perspective and combat, first-person and/or third-person view depending on whether or not players elect to use optical attachments. Players can generally select a maximum of two firearms, which are a primary and secondary weapon. The former contains multiple archetypes, such as assault rifles, carbines, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns and launchables, while the latter is limited to a pistol; the game automatically issues this and players can never select, swap out or drop their handgun. Enemies may carry different weapons depending on the situation: for example, riflemen would be armed with carbines, pointmen with shotguns, sharpshooters with sniper rifles and high-value-targets with launchers. Interestingly, the opposing faction is never seen carrying a pistol and will always use a primary weapon which seems to be loaded with infinite rounds.

Most of the game's weapon models seem to be recycled from SOCOM 4: US Navy SEALs, one of the now-defunct Zipper's previous games.

The following weapons appear in the video game Unit 13:

Assault rifles

Bushmaster ACR

The Bushmaster ACR is the Commando's first and default weapon. Possesses a rather linear recoil pattern and a firing rate that makes it generally useful in a variety of combat circumstances, but it lacks the precision of specialist weapons in terms of effective distance. Can be fitted with a suppressor or muzzle brake and a variable zoom, ACOG or red dot sight.

AK-47

The AK-47 assault rifle is used by most terrorist infantry personnel and some High Value Targets. Bizarrely, despite carrying 30 rounds per magazine in reality, the game allows one to equip a 40-round magazine (unless, of course, it has an extended magazine by default). It is always fitted with an ACOG no matter the situation when the player picks it up.

The AK-47 was apparently an optional weapon in an early version of the game, though this eventually changed.

Rock SOPMOD M14

The Rock SOPMOD M14 is the Commando's final unlock. It fires in 3-round burst and has an inaccurate 15-round starting magazine capacity instead of 20, but when leveling up the appropriate character it is possible to unlock an extended magazine, increasing the mag size to a more accurate 30 rounds (such magazines do exist for the M14/M1A platform).

FN FAL

Enemies may on occasion use the FN FAL battle rifle. It is a heavy hitting weapon that fires in single-shot or three-round bursts, but in the game it, for some reason whatsoever, is switched to full auto mode, and equips a 20-round 7.62mm NATO magazine. It has a variable zoom sight regardless of the situation, but its blazing fast fire rate significantly limits the potential of this attachment's usefulness.

FAMAS G2

The FAMAS G2 is the Technician's first unlock. It is unrealistically fitted with a 50-round drum magazine when in fact this would use a 20- or 30-round cartridge (unless, once again, it has an extended magazine by default). It also fires in 3-round bursts which would improve player accuracy at long range but is less effective for spray-and-prey type combat circumstances.

Patriot Ordnance Factory IAR

Seen in the demo but cut from the final game, the POF IAR is used only for one mission "Anu Air Force Base" but nowhere else.

AKS-74U

Enemy riflemen may sometimes be seen with the AKS-74U. Because of the reduced size and its rifle-grade rounds, the 74 possesses substantial recoil even at medium-distance combat and should only be counted on as a reliable close-range self-defense weapon.

Heckler and Koch G36C

Submachine guns

FN P90

The Infiltrator's last weapon. Carries 50 rounds per magazine but very little reserve ammo; outclassed by light machine guns in this regard.

Shotguns

Remington 870 Modular Combat Shotgun System

The Remington 870, or R11-87 as it's called in-game, is a single-fire shotgun that somehow possesses a ridiculously high damage and accuracy rating. As for why Zipper decided to make such a weapon both a devastating firearm at close distance and a long-range sniper when shotguns in fact suffer from damage falloff at extreme ranges is an absolute mystery.

Daewoo USAS-12

The Pointman's last unlock and the only fully automatic shotgun in the game. As with the 870, it can fire slug rounds.

Sniper rifles

Dragunov SVD

Main weapon of enemy snipers. Unrealistically, the SVD's red 'laser-beam' sight gives away its users' positions - a convention made famous by Hollywood movies in general despite the sniper's desire to be stealthy.

Like the FAL, the Dragunov suffers from a failure of the HUD to reflect its scope.

Barrett M107

The third and last unlock of the marksman on the team. Its accuracy somehow scores only one bar on the rating chart (the highest rating being 10 bars).

Machine guns

Mark 43

The MK43, fires a heavy 7.62mm NATO round and has the highest maximum capacity of any weapon (800 rounds in total), at the cost of having a sluggish firing rate.

RPK

Enemy gunners carry the RPK machine gun. It is generally inaccurate but its blistering firing rate and damage more than compensate for this. The very sound of it firing full auto is also a significant psychological intimidation to most enemies confronting a wielder of this weapon.

Launchers

LMT M203

The M203 40mm grenade launcher can be used by Animal after he achieves level 10. A very strange weapon, it has an M16/ M4-type collapsible butt attached and is generally seen as an assault rifle or carbine's underbarrel attachment, but Zipper Interactive doesn't cotton to such behaviour and forced the player to use it as a standalone weapon.

Unlike its real-life variant, the game's grenade launcher is extremely unfaithful: a round fired too close to oneself automatically kills the wielder. Being hazardous aside, this is highly unrealistic in a realistic combat circumstance for launched grenades would only detonate after traveling a varying distance between 2 and 14 meters based on the specific grenade model used. Not only that, they also have to have revolved a set number of revolutions before their fuses could even prime.

RPG-7

The Rocket Propelled Grenade is seen in the hands of terrorist leaders and High Value Targets, but the player will not be able to procure this and must stick to the M203 (which only Animal can use).

Pistols

FN Five-seveN

The Five Seven is the one and only handgun that is seen in the game; the player is always armed with it no matter the situation. Strangely, one is able to select a primary weapon and accompanying attachments but the choice for a secondary weapon is missing, and the player will automatically have this pistol equipped with an integral suppressor threaded through the barrel. The character is never able to drop the weapon, swap it for another handgun or otherwise get rid of it.

Explosives

M84 stun grenade

The M84 stun grenade is Animal's choice of grenade. He can unlock it for the entire squad and is the only operative who can gain "double gear", an ability that allows him to carry twice the normal amount of grenades. This applies to the entire squad in general.

Smokescreen grenade

Ringo's choice of grenade is the M18 smoke grenade. He can unlock it for the entire squad. Using this particular grenade is also the ONLY way to complete stealth operations without killing anybody, which is integral to the non-lethal bonus which contributes to the overall mission score.
