Wheelman is a driving / third-person shooter open-world game starring Vin Diesel as Milo Burik, an undercover agent tasked to infiltrate a gang in Barcelona.
The following weapons appear in the video game Wheelman:
Handguns
Beretta 92FS Inox
The first weapon Burik can acquire is a Beretta 92FS Inox with black grips, and controls. Because the pistol uses the same texture on both sides, it has an ambi takedown lever and slide release. Has unlimited ammo. The Beretta cannot be swapped away.
Desert Eagle Mark XIX
Felipe Lial carries a black Desert Eagle Mark XIX pistol in .50 Action Express in the first parts of the game. Later he switches to a Beretta 92FS Inox.
SIG-Sauer P228
Burik holds a P228 on the cover of the game. The same image is seen during the installation menu of the PC version of the game.
Submachine Guns
Heckler & Koch MP5A5
The Heckler & Koch MP5A5 is known as the "SMG". The selector switch is always on safe. The MP5A5 fires in full-auto only, the semi and burst modes are decorative only.
Uzi
The Uzi appears as the "Machine Pistol" and holds 32 rounds.
Rifles
AK-47
A large, floating icon of an AK-47 (Type III with a weird front sight) is used to mark the weapon caches.
AKM
The AKM is known as the "Assault Rifle" in the game, and can be described as a hybrid AK; as it has a milled receiver but lacks the strengthened receiver cover, and has an AK-47 style front sight (which is probably the result of a lazy modeling). Miguel Delgado is seen holding an AKM on his character photo.
Colt Model 727/723 Hybrid
The "Carbine" is basically a Colt Model 727 with the A1-type barrel of a Model 723.
Shotgun
SPAS-12
Wheelman is yet another game to feature the SPAS-12 as the resident pump-action shotgun.
Machine Gun
FN Minimi / M249E2 SAW Hybrid
The machine gun's overall model resembles the current (2012) FN Minimi (it has a flat sided handguard with textured panels, a cone-shaped flash suppressor, no heat-shield), however minor details (such as the pistol grip with a thumb relief, shape of the trigger guard) are from an M249E2 SAW.

Grenade Launcher
M79
The M79 grenade launcher is known as the "Grenade Launcher" and is capable of destroying most vehicles with one shot. This is the last weapon that can be unlocked by completing the most Hot Potato deliveries. During the reload, Burik imitates putting a grenade into the muzzle of the M79, even though it is break-action.
