==Thompson M1928==
The [[Thompson|Thompson M1928]] is the main weapon for the British SMG class. Due to the .45 ACP round it is a very powerful gun, the downside is the somewhat higher recoil. In real life the Thompson M1928 model could accept 50-round drum magazines, but ingame you can only use the 30rd box magazine which was also supplied in real life.

==MAS-38==
Although the [[MAS-38]] was very rare in real life and only about 3400 were produced during the war, it was chosen for the French SMG class as it is a very iconic, unique and interesting weapon. It fires the weaker 7.65 pistol round but you can use this to your advantage as this also results in a lower recoil.

==MP40==
==MP40==
The [[MP40]] is the standard weapon for the German SMG class. It fires the 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition, which works very well for close combat and in buildings. The recoil can be controlled quite well and the dispersion is rather low. As it's real life counterpart it is a very effective weapon design when used in the right circumstances.

==M1A1 Thompson==
US submachine gunners can spawn the famous late variant [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|M1A1 Thompson]]. It has a rather high rate of fire and kicks quite a bit due to the powerful .45 ACP round.

==M3A1 "Grease Gun"==
==M3A1 "Grease Gun"==
The second SMG for the US is the [[M3 / M3A1 "Grease Gun"|M3A1 "Grease Gun"]] which gets introduced later during the campaign. It has a lower rate of fire than the M1A1 Thompson which makes it more controllable. It fires the same powerful .45 ACP round. As in real life, the French Force ingame also use this weapon.

==Lee-Enfield Rifle No.4 Mk I==
==Thompson M1A1==
The [[Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)|Lee-Enfield Rifle No.4 Mk I]] is the standard main armament for the British soldiers ingame. It has twice as many rounds in its magazine than the German counterpart, this can be very important in combat. Logically it will take longer to reload once it is empty.
US submachine gunners can spawn the famous late variant [[Thompson Submachine Gun#M1A1 Thompson|Thompson M1A1]]. It has a rather high rate of fire and kicks quite a bit due to the powerful .45 ACP round.

The [[Short Magazine Lee-Enfield (SMLE)|Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk I(T)]] is the sniper version of the standard No.4 MK I. It has a top mounted scope type No.32 (3.5x magnification).
The [[Thompson_Submachine_Gun#M1928.2FM1928A1_Thompson|Thompson M1928]] is the main weapon for the British SMG class. Due to the .45 ACP round it is a very powerful gun, the downside is the somewhat higher recoil.

==Lebel 1886/M93==
=Rifles=
The [[Lebel 1886|Lebel 1886/M93]] has a very long history in the French army starting in 1887 when it was adopted into French service. It has a very unique tubular magazine, meaning you cannot use stripper clips for reload, each round has to be loaded separately. This results in a longer reload time, but you can load 8 rounds instead of 5 like most of the other military rifles of that time. Ingame this weapon is generally excellent to use as it has very good iron sights. It is the main weapon of the French grenadier class.

==Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope==
==Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle==
The French sniper class uses the [[Lebel 1886|Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope]] (3x zoom). The reticle of the scope is a rather unusual design, being an inverted V. Sniping ingame can be quite tricky as the game simulates real life ballistics and bullet drop. You always have to keep this in mind when aiming at long range targets. Luckily the game also features adjustable sights, so once you figured out the range you can adjust your sights to zero your rifle at the desired range.
The [[Boys anti-tank rifle|Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle]] has a very heavy kick and is absolutely deadly against soft skinned vehicles and infantry even on longer ranges. To use it effectively against tanks you have to learn every weak spot of each tank. You can only use this beast while being prone with the monopod deployed. This weapon can be used by US, French and British anti tank soldiers.

==MAS-36==
==Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42/2==
The [[MAS-36]] is the standard bolt action rifle for the French Forces. It is easy to handle and the modern 7.5x54 rifle round performs very well in mid range engagements. 5 round stripper clips are used to reload. Earlier versions of the game had a sniper variant available of the MAS-36 but this has since been removed and has been replaced with the more historical Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope.
German paratroopers have the [[FG_42#FG_42.2FII|FG 42/2]] available when Tier 2 weapons arrive on the server. Ingame it is referred to as '''FG42 Ausf. G''' but in real life the different FG42 models weren't really specified with different model numbers. Instead the weapon was constantly improved so the weapons could have some of the newer features while still featuring some of the older. Ingame it is a rather late model FG42.

==Karabiner 98k==
Developed by the company Mauser the [[Karabiner 98k]] was accepted as standard issue for the German rifleman in 1935 and stayed the main armament of the German Army throughout the whole war although newer, more modern weapon systems were invented. It has a 5 round integral box magazine loaded by stripper clips. The sighting system is fantastic and it fires the very powerful 7,92x57mm infantry cartridge. As in real life this rifle is also very accurate in the game. Enemy targets can be tracked easily and after a few hours of training every player will love this piece of equipment.

==Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39 Scope==
The German sniper class fields the [[Karabiner 98k|Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39]]. Basically the same as for the standard rifleman but with a Zielfernrohr 39 (Zf 39) attached to it which has a magnification of 4x. As with all weapons in the game you can set your sights according to your desired range. This may not be important for standard weapons but for the sniper rifles it is very useful.

==Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42==
==Karabiner 98k==
German paratroopers have the [[FG 42]] available when Tier 2 weapons arrive on the server. Ingame it is referred to as '''FG42 Ausf. G''' but in real life the different FG42 models weren't really specified with different model numbers. Instead the weapon was constantly improved so the weapons could have some of the newer features while still featuring some of the older. Ingame it is a rather late model FG42.
Developed by the company Mauser the [[Karabiner 98k]] was accepted as standard issue for the German rifleman in 1935 and stayed the main armament of the German Army throughout the whole war although newer, more modern weapon systems were invented. It has a 5 round integral box magazine loaded by stripper clips. The sighting system is fantastic and it fires the very powerful 7,92x57mm infantry cartridge. As in real life this rifle is also very accurate in the game. Enemy targets can be tracked easily and after a few hours of training every player will love this piece of equipment.

The German sniper class fields the [[Karabiner 98k|Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39]]. Basically the same as for the standard rifleman but with a Zielfernrohr 39 (Zf 39) attached to it which has a magnification of 4x. As with all weapons in the game you can set your sights according to your desired range. This may not be important for standard weapons but for the sniper rifles it is very useful.

==Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I]] is the standard main armament for the British soldiers ingame. It has twice as many rounds in its magazine than the German counterpart, this can be very important in combat. Logically it will take longer to reload once it is empty.

==Lebel 1886/M93==
The [[Lebel 1886|Lebel 1886/M93]] has a very long history in the French army starting in 1887 when it was adopted into French service. It has a very unique tubular magazine, meaning you cannot use stripper clips for reload, each round has to be loaded separately. This results in a longer reload time, but you can load 8 rounds instead of 5 like most of the other military rifles of that time. Ingame this weapon is generally excellent to use as it has very good iron sights. It is the main weapon of the French grenadier class.

'''Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope'''
<BR>
The French sniper class uses the [[Lebel 1886|Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope]] (3x zoom). The reticle of the scope is a rather unusual design, being an inverted V. Sniping ingame can be quite tricky as the game simulates real life ballistics and bullet drop. You always have to keep this in mind when aiming at long range targets. Luckily the game also features adjustable sights, so once you figured out the range you can adjust your sights to zero your rifle at the desired range.

==Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle==
==MAS-36==
The [[Boys Antitank Rifle|Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle]] has a very heavy kick and is absolutely deadly against soft skinned vehicles and infantry even on longer ranges. To use it effectively against tanks you have to learn every weak spot of each tank. You can only use this beast while being prone with the monopod deployed. This weapon can be used by US, French and British anti tank soldiers.
The [[MAS-36]] is the standard bolt action rifle for the French Forces. It is easy to handle and the modern 7.5x54 rifle round performs very well in mid range engagements. 5 round stripper clips are used to reload. Earlier versions of the game had a sniper variant available of the MAS-36 but this has since been removed and has been replaced with the more historical Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope.

==Panzerbüchse 39==
The [[PzB-39|Panzerbüchse 39]] anti tank rifle fires a small bullet but at a very high muzzle velocity. Due to the enormous recoil you have to deploy it before you can use it. If used against soft skinned vehicles and infantry this weapon is absolutely powerful even at long ranges but it is challenging to use against armored vehicles. If used against tanks you should be at close range and aim for the lighter armored, vulnerable parts of the target like vision ports etc. As the war in the game progresses and later, more advanced vehicles are added to the game over the course of a campaign the Panzerbüchse becomes more or less ineffective.

Submachine Guns

MAS-38

Although the MAS-38 was very rare in real life and only about 3400 were produced during the war, it was chosen for the French SMG class as it is a very iconic, unique and interesting weapon. It fires the weaker 7.65 pistol round but you can use this to your advantage as this also results in a lower recoil.

MP40

The MP40 is the standard weapon for the German SMG class. It fires the 9x19mm Parabellum ammunition, which works very well for close combat and in buildings. The recoil can be controlled quite well and the dispersion is rather low. As it's real life counterpart it is a very effective weapon design when used in the right circumstances.

The second SMG for the US is the M3A1 "Grease Gun" which gets introduced later during the campaign. It has a lower rate of fire than the M1A1 Thompson which makes it more controllable. It fires the same powerful .45 ACP round. As in real life, the French Force ingame also use this weapon.

Thompson M1928

The Thompson M1928 is the main weapon for the British SMG class. Due to the .45 ACP round it is a very powerful gun, the downside is the somewhat higher recoil. In real life the Thompson M1928 model could accept 50-round drum magazines, but ingame you can only use the 30rd box magazine which was also supplied in real life.

Rifles

Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle

The Boys Mk I Antitank Rifle has a very heavy kick and is absolutely deadly against soft skinned vehicles and infantry even on longer ranges. To use it effectively against tanks you have to learn every weak spot of each tank. You can only use this beast while being prone with the monopod deployed. This weapon can be used by US, French and British anti tank soldiers.

Fallschirmjäger Gewehr 42/2

German paratroopers have the FG 42/2 available when Tier 2 weapons arrive on the server. Ingame it is referred to as FG42 Ausf. G but in real life the different FG42 models weren't really specified with different model numbers. Instead the weapon was constantly improved so the weapons could have some of the newer features while still featuring some of the older. Ingame it is a rather late model FG42.

Karabiner 98k

Developed by the company Mauser the Karabiner 98k was accepted as standard issue for the German rifleman in 1935 and stayed the main armament of the German Army throughout the whole war although newer, more modern weapon systems were invented. It has a 5 round integral box magazine loaded by stripper clips. The sighting system is fantastic and it fires the very powerful 7,92x57mm infantry cartridge. As in real life this rifle is also very accurate in the game. Enemy targets can be tracked easily and after a few hours of training every player will love this piece of equipment.

The German sniper class fields the Karabiner 98k with Zeiss ZF39. Basically the same as for the standard rifleman but with a Zielfernrohr 39 (Zf 39) attached to it which has a magnification of 4x. As with all weapons in the game you can set your sights according to your desired range. This may not be important for standard weapons but for the sniper rifles it is very useful.

Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I

The Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk I is the standard main armament for the British soldiers ingame. It has twice as many rounds in its magazine than the German counterpart, this can be very important in combat. Logically it will take longer to reload once it is empty.

Lebel 1886/M93

The Lebel 1886/M93 has a very long history in the French army starting in 1887 when it was adopted into French service. It has a very unique tubular magazine, meaning you cannot use stripper clips for reload, each round has to be loaded separately. This results in a longer reload time, but you can load 8 rounds instead of 5 like most of the other military rifles of that time. Ingame this weapon is generally excellent to use as it has very good iron sights. It is the main weapon of the French grenadier class.

Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope
The French sniper class uses the Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope (3x zoom). The reticle of the scope is a rather unusual design, being an inverted V. Sniping ingame can be quite tricky as the game simulates real life ballistics and bullet drop. You always have to keep this in mind when aiming at long range targets. Luckily the game also features adjustable sights, so once you figured out the range you can adjust your sights to zero your rifle at the desired range.

M1 Garand

The M1 Garand is available for the US Rifleman class. It makes the usual "PING" sound when the rifle is empty and the en-bloc clip gets ejected. You can even reload the M1 Garand when not empty, something that is rarely seen in video games. The M1 Garand is also shared for the British rifleman ingame.

MAS-36

The MAS-36 is the standard bolt action rifle for the French Forces. It is easy to handle and the modern 7.5x54 rifle round performs very well in mid range engagements. 5 round stripper clips are used to reload. Earlier versions of the game had a sniper variant available of the MAS-36 but this has since been removed and has been replaced with the more historical Lebel 1886/M93 with APX Mle 1921 Scope.

Panzerbüchse 39

The Panzerbüchse 39 anti tank rifle fires a small bullet but at a very high muzzle velocity. Due to the enormous recoil you have to deploy it before you can use it. If used against soft skinned vehicles and infantry this weapon is absolutely powerful even at long ranges but it is challenging to use against armored vehicles. If used against tanks you should be at close range and aim for the lighter armored, vulnerable parts of the target like vision ports etc. As the war in the game progresses and later, more advanced vehicles are added to the game over the course of a campaign the Panzerbüchse becomes more or less ineffective.

Machine Guns

Bren Mk I Gun

The Bren Mk I Gun was beloved by the British Forces even after WW2. Also ingame it is quite a good weapon because of it's accuracy. Although the top mounted magazine somewhat hampers your view. To use this gun you have to either go prone and deploy it on the ground or on the geometry of the game world (boxes, walls, windows etc) while standing or in crouched position.

It has the same disadvantage of the top mounted magazine decreasing your field of view and as all LMGs ingame, you either have to go prone, stand or crouch near an object to deploy it before you can fire it.

As this weapon is spring driven, the projectile does not leave a smoke trail. This really helps to stay covered when you are out in the fields to hunt down enemy tanks.

OF 37 hand grenade

Although the French OF 37 hand grenade was developed during WWI, it was still one of the most numerous models available at the breakout of WW2. As the name suggests it was an offensive grenade, meaning it has a thin walled sheet metal body, limited fragmentation effect and relied mostly on the concussive effect. As all grenades ingame it is best used in closed spaces. This grenade uses the "Brilliant Mle 1916" fuze type (5 seconds delay).
