Squad is a PC exclusive tactical team-based first-person shooter video game set in the modern day, developed by Offworld Industries. The stated goal of Squad is to create a "tactical first person shooter built around teamwork and cooperation". It is a spiritual successor to the award-winning Project Reality modification for Battlefield 2, with many of the former mod creators forming Offworld Industries. Development of the game was announced in October 2014; the main game was developed from 2015 and finally released in 2020. It was originally available as a Steam Early Access title. The developers intend on continuing support and development of the game with additional factions, weapons, vehicles, and levels.

There are two historical set titles derived from Squad's "OWI Core" UE4 framework, the WWII-set Squad 44 (released in 2018, then known as Post Scriptum) and the WWI-set Beyond The Wire, released in Early Access in 2021.
The following weapons appear in the video game Squad:

Overview

Squad simulates engagements across many different theaters involving the US Army, Ground Forces of the Russian Federation, British Army, Canadian Army, Insurgents, and the Irregular Militia Forces (referred to as "Militia" for brevity). The official V1.0 release in 2020 introduced the Middle Eastern Alliance (MEA), a spiritual successor to PR's MEC, based on the Iranian and Turkish armed forces. The Australian Defence Force has also been brought into the game with the V2.15 update. The V3.0 update brought the United States Marine Corps into the mix, along with new amphibious gameplay elements. Update V4.0 has introduced the People's Liberation Army of China, and V5.0 has added PLA Navy Marine Corps and Russian VDV airborne sub-factions to Squad. In a match of Squad, players select their squads and their roles, with each role receiving a specific kit of weapons and equipment. Specialist kits may either have squad-level or team-wide role limitations, and may only be made available when the squad (and team) has reached a minimum size. The roles in Squad are:

Squad/Cell Leader, the head of the squad with the ability to place rally points, forward operating bases (FOBs) and deployables.
Rifleman/Fighter, who is equipped with a standard loadout for general purpose combat.
Automatic Rifleman, who is equipped with a light machine gun for providing direct fire support and suppression.
Machine Gunner, who is equipped with a medium machine gun to provide sustained medium to long range direct fire support and suppression.
Medic, who is capable of reviving and healing incapacitated/wounded teammates.
Lead Crewman, who is almost similar to the crewman below, but is also capable of deploying rally points, FOBs and deployables.
Crewman, who is given a stripped-down loadout for self-defense, and is capable of operating heavier vehicles.
Grenadier, who is capable of providing indirect fire support with launched grenades and marking targets with smoke grenades.
Light Anti Tank, who is equipped with rocket launchers to eliminate light vehicles and entrenched enemies.
Heavy Anti Tank, who is equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers to eliminate heavily armored vehicles.
Marksman, who is issued a marksman rifle equipped with a medium or high powered optic for medium to long range direct fire support.
Raider, who is equipped with a submachine gun and grenades for close quarter combat.
Sapper (formerly Scout), who is equipped with binoculars, mines, TNTs and IEDs for scouting enemy positions and explosives for setting up ambushes.
Combat Engineer, who is equipped with anti-tank mines and C4 for sabotage behind enemy lines.

Reserve ammunition is tracked in individual magazines, and reloading while partially empty will return the magazine to the player's inventory. The player's lower body is fully visible in first person by looking down. Most weapon-related actions in Squad are fully animated with full arm animations, such as reloading, zeroing, switching fire mode, etc, though currently weapons only have one idle state form. This results in the animated zeroing immediately moving back to the default zeroing form when not aiming down sights, and having the fire mode switch animation be largely for show; one animation will be used for all setting changes, and the selector will pop back to default setting after the end of the animation, returning the weapon to its idle state form, regardless of the actual setting in gameplay.

Zeroing in Squad closely simulates reality, with animated zeroing adjustments and ranging options that reflect the ranging options on the sights of the real weapons. Changing the zeroing (or ranging) is done via holding down the ranging button (default: X) and using the scroll wheel to change the range. Once the ranging button is released at the desired distance, the game will follow suit and adjust the weapon's sights to the selected range.

To better demonstrate the weapons, many screenshots on this page are taken while looking downwards using freelook, which rotates the first-person camera (i.e. the player character's head) without moving or rotating the player character's body.

Pistols

Beretta M9A1

The Beretta M9A1 appears in Squad as the "M9A1 Beretta". It feeds from 15-round box magazines and was available to all US Army classes save for the squad leader, rifleman, grenadier, light anti-tank, heavy anti-tank and combat engineer. As of the V3.0 update, it is now only issued to the USMC and is no longer available to the Army.

While not visible in the current reload animations, the magazine markings read MAS CAL 9 PARA / FABRIQUE SOUS LICENSE BERETTA ("manufactured under a Beretta license"), making it a PAMAS G1 magazine (French copy of the Beretta 92FS).

-'''''Squad''''' is a tactical first-person shooter video game set in a current-day conflict involving US Army, Russian Ground Forces, Insurgents and Irregular Militia Forces (to be referred to as "Militia" later on for brevity), and draws inspiration from the Middle East, Southern Asia and Eastern Europe. It is a spiritual successor to the award-winning ''[[Project_Reality|Project Reality]]'' modification for ''[[Battlefield_2|Battlefield 2]]''. The ''[http://joinsquad.com/faq goal'' of ''Squad''] is to create a "tactical first person shooter built around teamwork and cooperation". The development was announced in October 2014 and it is currently available exclusively on Steam (PC). It is still in development.

-== SIG-Sauer P320 ==
+==SIG-Sauer M17 MHS==
-The [[SIG-Sauer P320]] appears in game disguised as the newly adopted sidearm of the US Army, the "M17 Modular Handgun System". It is available to the US Army squad leader kits, and feeds from 17-round box magazines. ''Note that the real M17 Modular Handgun System comes in Coyote Brown finish (slide included), has a manual safety, and also has 3 rail-slots in its accessory rail, similar to the compact P320 and M18 pistol fashioned after it. As such, this is really a full length P320 in two-tone Flat Dark Earth (FDE). As the game's variant does not have the manual safety, it is also noticeably the only sidearm in the game that is holstered and drawn without turning on or off the safety.''
+An actual [[SIG-Sauer M17 MHS]] has replaced the P320 model that was masquerading as an M17 as of the v4.2 update. It is available to all US Army kits, and feeds from 17-round box magazines.

-== Beretta M9A1 ==
+The true SIG M17 also came with an animation overhaul; the character now performs the retention reload taught as part of the M17's manual-of-arms as opposed to the more conventional style seen on other pistols in the game.
-The [[Beretta M9A1]] is available to the US Army medic, automatic rifleman, machine gunner and marksman as the "M9A1 Beretta" and feeds from 16-round box magazines. The marksman gets an extra magazine. ''A point to note is that the M9A1 is not adopted by the US Army, and is actually a pistol that is designed to be marketed to the US Marine Corps.''
-Trivia: Before animations were changed, the magazine markings read ''MAS CAL 9 PARA'' / ''FABRIQUE SOUS LICENSE BERETTA'' ("manufactured under a Beretta license"), making it a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#PAMAS G1|PAMAS G1]] magazine (French copy of the Beretta 92FS).

+The [[MP-443 Grach|MP-443]] Grach is the standard side-arm of the Russian Ground Forces. It is available to all classes except the rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 18-round box magazines. As with the [[Squad#Beretta M9A1|M9A1]], the marksman, crewman and lead crewman get an extra magazine each.

It is available to all classes except the rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 17-round box magazines. Like the [[Squad#Beretta M9A1|M9A1]] and [[Squad#MP-443 Grach|MP-443 Grach]], the marksman, crewman and lead crewman each get an extra magazine.

+==Tokarev TT-33==
+The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears in ''Squad'' as the "TT33 Tokarev". It is available to the Insurgent and Militia cell/squad leaders, medics and marksmen, and feeds from 8-round box magazines. Like the [[Squad#Makarov PM|PM]], it comes with more magazines than the other pistols to compensate for its smaller magazine capacity. It packs the biggest punch of all the pistols in the game, owing to its calibre. It is textured with painted stars on both grips. The markings on the TT-33 erroneously claim a production year of 1938, despite being modeled after the post-1947 variant.

As with the other factions, the marksman gets more magazines. It packs the biggest punch out of all the pistols in the game. ''It is textured to have painted grips on both sides.''

+==Makarov PM==
-The [[Makarov PM]] is available to all Insurgent and Militia classes less the squad leader, medic, marksman, light and heavy anti-tank kits, and feeds from 8-round box magazines. Itnd appears in game as the "PM Makarov", following OWI's tradition of naming pistols with their manufacturers' names at the back. Like the [[Squad#Tokarev TT-33|TT-33]], it has twice the number of magazines as the other sidearms to compensate for the smaller magazine capacity.

+==Browning Hi-Power==
+The [[Inglis Hi-Power]] is available to all classes of the Canadian Army (except for the Combat Engineer) added in the Alpha 15.3 update. It appears as the "Hi-Power Pistol". An older model [[Browning Hi-Power]] with wood grips and a tangent rear sight appears as the standard sidearm of the MEA (Middle Eastern Alliance) faction added in the v1.0 update. The Australian Defence Force with the V2.15 update also uses the Hi-Power, this time the Mark III variant, under the "Hi-Power MK3" moniker.

 =Submachine Guns=
+==PPSh-41==
+The [[PPSh-41]] is available exclusively to the Insurgent raider class, and feeds from either 35-round stick magazines or 71-round drum magazines. The player has access to 4 of the former and 2 of the latter, and may switch between them at his own discretion (using the scroll wheel).
+Switching to the drum magazine will have the player character remove the 35-round stick, and insert the drum. If the previous magazine had been emptied prior, and the bolt is locked forward, the player character will pull it back after the switch, and the same applies to the converse. However, if you were to holster your PPSh-41 with stick magazines prior and draw it again by equipping the one with the drum magazine option, the character would already have done the switch magically beforehand.

+==M4A1==
+The [[M4A1]] is available to the US Army squad leader and rifleman, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. The rifleman's M4A1 may either have an Aimpoint CompM4 (designated "M68 CCO") alone, or a carry handle rear sight and KAC foregrip. The squad leader's M4A1 on the other hand uses the M68 CCO with a KAC foregrip and is loaded with tracer rounds.
+A quick glance at the lower receiver of the M4A1 when reloading (while using free-look) reveals a three-round burst selector and [[Squad#Colt M4 Carbine|M4 Carbine]] markings, implying it shares the same models and textures with the latter rifle.
+The Alpha of the V14 Update introduced a modified version of the M4 and M4A1 for the US Army, using MaTech 300m sights rather than the classic carry handle and adding PEQ-15 laser modules for both rifles. The LE stocks have also been changed to Crane/BCM B5 SOPMOD stocks.

+==M4==
+The [[M4 carbine]] in a few different configurations is used by the US Army and the Militia in ''Squad''. All configurations use 30-round box magazines and have a six-position stock.
+For the US Army, the M4 Carbine is available to all US Army classes save for the automatic rifleman, machine gunner and marksman, and comes with a KAC railed handguard. The US Army squad leader, rifleman and grenadier's M4 Carbines have Trijicon TA31RCOs (designated "M150 RCO") mounted. The squad leader's comes loaded with tracer rounds while the grenadier's comes with an additional [[Squad#M203A1|M203A1]] mounted. The combat engineer's has an M68 CCO mounted. The medic and light anti-tank may choose either the M150 RCO or M68 CCO. In the case of the medic, choosing the former means losing his [[Squad#M67 Frag Grenade|M67 Frag Grenade]] and red [[Squad#M18 Smoke Grenade|M18 Smoke Grenades]]. For the light anti-tank, choosing former means losing both his M67s and one white M18. The lead crewman and crewman use stock rifles with carry handle iron sights. The heavy anti-tank may choose either the M68 CCO or carry handle iron sights (with a KAC foregrip), with the latter losing access to his M67.
+For the Militia, their M4 is only available to Militia squad leader and rifleman, and comes with the older round handguard. The squad leader's M4 comes with an M68 mounted onto the rear sight (i.e. the carry handle), while the rifleman's M4 only has stock iron sights.
+The USMC faction has M4 Carbines an an option for some roles such as the Heavy AT kit and vehicle crewman. It still uses the carry handle rear sight and has a PEQ equipped.

-== PPSh-41 ==
+==Colt Canada C7A2==
-The [[PPSh-41]] is available to the Insurgent raider class, and feeds from either 35-round stick magazines or 71-round drum magazines. The player has 4 stick magazines and two drums, and may switch between them at his own discretion.
+The [[M16_rifle_series#Diemaco_C7.2FColt_Model_715|Colt Canada C7A2]] is available to the Canadian Army rifleman, light anti-tank and Combat Engineer classes. It originally came with a C79A2 mounted; later updates introduced iron sight and foregrip variants. AN/PEQ-2s have also been added to the front sight RIS section.

-Switching to the drum magazine (via the scroll wheel) will have the player remove the 35-round stick, and insert the drum. If the previous magazine had been emptied prior, and the bolt is locked forward, the player will pull it back after the switch, and the same applies to the converse. However, if you were to holster your PPSh-41 with stick magazines prior and drew it again by equipping the one with the drum magazine option, the character will already have done the switch magically beforehand.
+==Colt Canada C8A3==
-[[file:Ppsh41.jpg|thumb|none|350px|PPSh-41 with stick magazine - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]
+The [[M16_rifle_series#Diemaco.2FColt_Canada_C8_Carbine|Colt Canada C8A3]] is available to the Canadian Army squad leader, lead crewman, medic, crewman, and heavy anti-tank. The squad leader's C8A3 may either have a C79A2 optical sight, or a EOTech 552 (designated "ET552" or "ET"). The EOTech comes default with the medic and both crewman classes. Earlier versions of the game featured the C8A3 with the M203 for the Canadian Grenadier; however, this has been replaced with the C7A2 + M203 combo.

-=Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles=
+==L85A2==
+The [[L85A2]] is available to all British Army classes except the crewman, lead crewman, marksman, automatic rifleman and machine gunner. It feeds from 30-round box magazines, and comes equipped with a Daniel Defense railed handguard. The rifleman's L85A2 may either have a Grip Pod or a Trijicon TA31-CH (simply named "ACOG") mounted, the medic's comes exclusively with a SUSAT, the grenadier's comes with an ACOG and a [[Squad#L123A2 UGL|L123A2 UGL]] mounted. Finally, the squad leader's is loaded with tracer rounds, and may either have a Grip Pod alone or a Grip Pod and ACOG mounted simultaneously.
-== M4A1 ==
+Note that the model of ACOG adopted by the British Army is actually the TA31F rather than the -CH variant, with an RMR mounted on top. The V2.0 update introduced another variant using an ELCAN 4x scope as the "L85A2 LDS." As of the V2.15 update, all the ACOG variants have been replaced with ELCAN scopes.
-The [[M4A1]] is available to the US Army squad leader and rifleman, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. It it equipped with a KAC railed handguard, and may come with either an M68 CCO alone, with a carry handle and KAC foregrip, or with an M68 CCO and KAC foregrip. The last configuration is only available to the squad leader class  and, like all squad leader primary weapons, is loaded with tracer rounds.

-The [[M4 carbine]] is available to the US Army squad leader, rifleman, medic, grenadier and light anti-tank, and the Militia squad leader and rifleman. It feeds from 30-round box magazines like the [[Squad#M4A1|M4A1]]. The US Army's M4 Carbine is equipped with a KAC railed handguard, and comes with a M150 RCO (for the squad leader and rifleman, the latter being a limited kit), an M68 CCO (for the medic) or a [[M203A1 Grenade Launcher|M203A1]] (for the grenadier).

+==EF88==
+The [[Thales F90|EF88]] was introduced as the standard assault rifle/carbine for the ADF with the V2.15 update. It has both normal and "EF88C" carbine variants, and comes in a wide latitude of configurations. It has folding BUIS in its most default configurations, and the "ET552" holographic sight for the rifle-length variant, and ELCan Specter scopes for both versions. Squad Leaders have usable Grippods that allow them to deploy the EF88 for added accuracy bonuses. It also has a usable fire selector for semi/full-auto functionality.

+The Chora RAAS v3 engagement includes somewhat more historic loadouts for the ADF - namely, all the EF-88 variants are replaced with classic [[F88 Austeyr]] rifles, complete with the classic A1 scopes. As with the EF-88, these have usable fire selectors, which is actually technically accurate for the F88 as the Australians outfitted it with a modified selector that can block the two-stage trigger's full travel without engaging the auto sear.

+==Heckler & Koch HK416==
-The [[AK-74]] is available to the Insurgent rifleman, as a limited kit, and the Militia squad leader, rifleman and grenadier classes. It feeds from 30-round box magazines. This is to mimic the prevalence of 5.45x39mm weapons in the Eastern Europe theater over the Middle East and Asian theater. It may be fitted with a [[Squad#GP-25|GP-25]] for use by the grenadier class, which also comes with a recoil pad. Like every other squad leader primary weapon, the Militia squad leader's AK-74 is loaded with tracers.
+===Heckler & Koch M27 IAR===

+As of the V5.0 Update, the VDV sub-faction of the Russian Armed Forces is equipped with the 2017/2018 spec Kalashnikov Concern [[AK-12]].

-''Note that while it is possible to reload an SKS mid-clip, one needs to manually hold as the bolt only locks back on an empty magazine. The other alternative would be to flip open the magazine floor by engaging a latch so as to drop all loose rounds, then pull the bolt back to lock it. The way it works in game was a deliberate decision allegedly for balance purposes. Additionally, a point worth noting is that the SKS in game can hold an extra round in the chamber when reloading mid-clip, despite a single round having been ejected when the bolt is first pulled back.''
+==AS Val==

-''Finally, while it looks like the player is topping off the partially-filled magazine with a clip, in game, it is programmed to be switching of magazines rather than topping off.

+The [[SKS]] is available to the Insurgent and Militia scouts and cell/squad leaders, as well as the Insurgent light and heavy anti-tank. It feeds from a 10-round internal magazine loaded by stripper clips and, bizarrely, can be reloaded mid-clip. The SKS also features a usable bayonet. The squad leaders and scouts' rifles come with a PU mounted, but there is no cut-out on the stock that indicates the presence of the PU mounting bracket.
+Note that to reload an SKS partially, one needs to hold the bolt open while doing so as the bolt only locks back on an empty magazine. An easier alternative would be to first empty the magazine by releasing the floor plate first, before pulling the bolt back to lock it open. The way it works in game was apparently a deliberate decision for balance purposes. Additionally, a point worth noting is that the SKS in ''Squad'' can hold an extra round in the chamber when reloading mid-clip, despite a single round being ejected when the bolt is first pulled back.
+Finally, while it looks like the player character is topping off the partially-filled magazine with a clip, in game, it is programmed to be switching of magazines rather than topping off. Topping off a SKS with 5 rounds in its magazine with a stripper clip holding 5 rounds will only leave you with a rifle with 5 rounds in the magazine again. This was changed in the V2.0 update; the partial reload animation now shows the user manually holding the bolt back with his left hand and loading single rounds into the magazine in a much more mechanically correct way - though the +1 in the chamber still incorrectly occurs.

+==Mosin-Nagant M91/30==
+Added in V2.0, the classic [[Mosin_Nagant_Rifle|Mosin Nagant M91/30]] enters the arsenals of the Insurgents in three specific variants. The classic full-length M91/30 appears as an optional kit for the Fighter class. It reloads from empty with a five-round stripper clip and can be topped off with loose rounds, although as with the V2.0 SKS reload revision, this allows for an incorrect +1 in the chamber which is not possible with Mosin rifles.

+The shorter [[Mosin Nagant Model 1938 Carbine]] appears as the new main arm of the Sapper class.

+===Mosin Nagant M91/30 Sniper Rifle===
+Along side the other Mosin variants, the [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin Nagant M91/30 rifle]] fitted with a PU scope is added to the Insurgents' new Sniper class.

+==Heckler & Koch G3A3==
+The [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]] is available to the Insurgent fighter as a limited kit, feeding from 20 round magazines and being equipped with slim line handguards. The G3A3 is also the standard issue rifle of the MEA, who have both the standard iron sight only version as well as the option for a Hensoldt ZF-1 scope or a Zeiss Z-Point red dot. There's also the option for a G3A3 equipped with an HK79 grenade launcher for the MEA Grenadier.
+Rather bizarrely, the G3A3 also serves as the MEA's Automatic Rifle. Known as the "G3A3 + Drum Mag", this version uses the wide handguards and equips a bipod as well as X-Product 50 round drum mags, fittingly loaded with tracers as part of this battle rifle's transformation into a lightweight support weapon.

+===Heckler & Koch G3A4===
+Originally added in the game as an optional rifle kit for the Insurgent Cell Leader, the [[Heckler & Koch G3|Heckler & Koch G3A4]] returns with the addition of the MEA as the standard issue rifle for MEA Squad Leaders. It comes in the same three variants of the other MEA G3s, iron sight only/Zeiss Z-Point or ZF-1 scope but with the SL standard of running tracer rounds.

+===HK51===
+The last of the G3s on offer for the MEA, the shortie [[Heckler & Koch G3|HK51]] appears as the compact carbine of the MEA. Given its short length, it only comes with iron sights or the Z-Point, and only for the Pilot, Lead Crewman and Heavy Anti-Tank Classes.

+==StG 58==
+The [[FN FAL|StG 58]] is available to the Militia squad leader and medic, as well as the Insurgent fighter as a limited kit. It feeds from 20-round box magazines and is recognisable by the ribbed stamped metal handguard and its unique combination muzzle device, although it lacks the bipods.

+==L86A2 LSW==
+The [[L86A2|L86A2 LSW]] is unique in that it is available to the British Army marksman rather than the automatic rifleman, accurately portraying its usage as an interim marksman rifle. It feeds from 30-round box magazines, and comes with a SUSAT mounted. It unlocks earlier than the other British Army marksman option, the [[Squad#L129A1 Sharpshooter|L129A1]].

+==RPK-74M==
+The [[RPK-74M]] is available to the Russian Ground Forces automatic rifleman, and feeds from 45-round polymer box magazines, unlike the bakelite ones used by the [[Squad#RPK-74|RPK-74]]. The automatic rifleman may choose between iron sights or a 1P78-2 Kashtan, the latter unlocking later than the former. Like the [[Squad#AK-74M|AK-74M]] above, the player holds the weapon by the magazine rather than by the handguard.

+==FN MAG 58==
+The [[FN MAG 58]] appears in ''Squad'' posing as the British [[L7 Machine Gun|L7A2 GPMG]] and as the Canadian [[FN MAG|C6 GPMG]] (appearing originally as the "C6A2," now as the "C6 FLEX"). It is available to the British and Canadian machine gunners, and feeds from enchanted cloth ammo bags, similar to the [[Squad#M240B|M240B]] above. It also has a railed feed cover similar to that of the M240B, which the actual L7A2 or C6 does not have. Rather, the actual L7A2 has a distinct bracket screwed to the left side of the receiver for mounting optics. It also has a unique and distinctly-shaped carry handle.
+It also appears for the Aussies as the ''Mag58'' and normally is only found on the Defence Force's vehicles, though it appears as a replacement for the Maximi on the Chora RAAS v3 map alongside the classic F88 Austeyr.

+The [[PKM]] is available to the Insurgents and Militia machine gunners, and feeds from 100-round ammo boxes with non-disintegrating links. The PKM in game seems to be built from a mix of both polymer and wooden furniture. The Militia gets a PKM with a 1P29 scope affixed on the same side-swinging mount as the PKP as of the V4.5 update.

+==Heckler & Koch HK417==
+Introduced with the V2.15 update, the [[Heckler & Koch HK417]] is issued to the Australian sharpshooter. It is fitted with the same Trijicon TA648-308 scope as the UK's L129A1, and has a vertical grip and usable Harris bipod. The magwell has "F 417" inscribed on it despite the in-game menu name being "HK417," and the ADF officially refers to it by the commercial HK name without the "F" prefix.

+==SVD==
+The [[SVD]] is available to the Insurgents and Militia marksman classes, and feeds from 10-round box magazines. It comes with a PSO-1 mounted, and its backup iron sights are unusable. It comes with more spare magazines than the [[Squad#M110 SASS|M110 SASS]] and [[Squad#L129A1 Sharpshooter|L129A1]] to compensate for its smaller magazine capacity.

+=Grenade Launchers=
+Grenade Launchers are available to the grenadier class. They all have arming distances to mirror those in real life.
+All grenade launchers come with 10 high explosive rounds and 2 white, red and blue smoke marker rounds each.
+==GP-25==
+The [[GP-series grenade launcher#GP-25|GP-25]] Kostyor is the available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgent and Militia grenadiers, and is mounted to their AK-74M, AKM and AK-74 respectively. Like its real life counterpart, the grenadier's primary weapon is also issued with a recoil pad mounted to the stock, which can be seen using freelook, and is also present on the inventory icon. It has the option to choose between VOG-25 frag rounds, or red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon equipping the GP-25, the player sets his primary weapon to safe and loads a round into his launcher. When switching back to his rifle, he tilts the barrel down and catches the falling round before turning off the safety on his rifle.

+==M203A2==
+The [[M203 grenade launcher|M203A2]] is available to Grenadiers of the US and Canadian Armies, mounted on the [[Squad#M4 Carbine|M4 Carbine]] and the C7A2 respectively. It is able to fire M433 HEDP rounds or, similar to the [[Squad#GP-25 Grenade Launcher|GP-25]], red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon selecting the M203A2, the player flips the leaf sight up and loads a round, and when switching back to his rifle, he empties the launcher of any shells and flips the sight down.
+Note that there are no blue smoke rounds for the M203 in reality; there are only M713 red, M714 white, M715 greens, and M716 yellow smoke rounds.

+==Energa Rifle Grenade==
+Update 4.3 introduced the [[Energa Rifle Grenade]] for some Irregular Militia kits outfitted with the Stg 58 FAL. Their LAT is issued AT warheads, while the Ambusher gets fragmentation rounds.
+[[File:Standard-2.jpg|thumb|400px|none|Energa Rifle Grenade. This particular version is US M29 training.]]

+==QLG-10A==
+For the PLA, the [[QLG-10A]] caseless grenade launcher is used in conjunction with the QBZ-95-1 for their Grenadier kits.
+[[File:QBZ95-1GL.jpg|thumb|none|400px|QBZ-95-1 with QLG-10A grenade launcher - 5.8x42mm / 35mm]]

+[[File:Squad QLG-10 (3).jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading a caseless round into the QLG.]]
+=Rocket Launchers=
+Rocket launchers are available for the anti-tank classes. They are single-shot weapons that are primarily for taking down vehicles, and have backblast modelled. Care must be taken to avoid accidentally hurting or flat out incapacitating friendlies behind the user when firing. Like grenade launchers, all rocket launchers have arming distances for gameplay purposes, regardless of whether the weapon has them in real life or not.
+==Carl Gustaf M2==
+The [[Carl_Gustaf_Recoilless_Rifle#Carl_Gustaf_M2|Carl Gustaf M2]] appears in ''Squad'' as the "Carl Gustav M2 + No78Mk1". It is available to the Canadian Army heavy anti-tank class and comes with 2 high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warheads and a single tandem charge warhead. It is also used by the Australian HAT kit.

+==Carl Gustaf M3==
+The [[Carl_Gustaf_Recoilless_Rifle#Carl_Gustaf_M3|Carl Gustaf M3]] appears in ''Squad'' under the US Army designation "M3 MAAWS", available to the US heavy anti-tank class. It comes with 2 HEAT warheads (although the AT tandem is another choice) plus 2 smoke rounds.

+==M72A7 LAW==
+The [[M72 LAW|M72A7 LAW]] is available to the US Army and British Army light and heavy anti-tank as a disposable launcher. The light anti-tank carries only one launcher instead of two as of the current build, but may be equipped with a [[Squad#M67 Frag Grenade|M67]] or [[Squad#L109A1 Frag Grenade|L109A1]] respectively to make up for the reduced firepower. Bizarrely, the heavy anti-tank use them as a secondary launcher to their [[Squad#Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4-CS|AT4-CS]] launchers.
+Note that the British Army does not use M72A7s, but rather the further upgraded M72A9 variant (though the two variants are visually very similar), designated as the "L72A9 Light Anti-Structure Munition (LASM)". As its designation implies, its warhead is designed to be used for bunker-busting rather than for anti-tank applications. Additionally, this launcher is an interim launcher to make up for the shortfall of [[MATADOR|L2A1 ASMs]]. The LAW is also issued to the Canadian and Australian forces.

+==Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4-CS==
-The [[SVD Dragunov|SVD]] is the available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgents and Militia marksman classes, and feeds from 10-round box magazines. It comes with a PSO-1 mounted on it, and its backup iron sights are unusable. It comes with 4 more spare magazines than the [[Squad#M110 SASS|M110 SASS]] to compensate for the smaller magazine capacity.
+The [[M136 AT4|Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4-CS]] is available to the US Army light anti-tank class and British Army heavy anti-tank class under their respective designations, the "M136 AT4-CS" and "ILAW AT4-CS".
-The Russian Ground Forces marksman uses a SVD kitted out with what seems to be wood furniture that has been painted black to be disguised as polymer, and does not use the correct stock, receiver and handguard model. It goes by "SVDM" in game, even though it does not look remotely like its namesake.
+At the same time, it is worth noting that "ILAW" is an incomplete designation; the proper designation is "L2A1 Interim Light Anti-tank Weapon (ILAW)". As its name suggests, it is an interim solution to make up for the shortfall of [[MBT LAW|NLAWs]] as the British Army replaces its obsolete [[LAW 80]] launchers.

-== GP-25 Grenade Launcher ==
+==RPG-7V2==
-The [[GP-series grenade launcher#GP-25|GP-25]] is the available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgent and Militia grenadier classes, and is mounted on their AK-74M, AKM and AK-74 respectively. The grenadier's primary weapon also has a recoil pad mounted to the stock, which can be seen using freelook, and is also present on the inventory icon. It has the option to choose between VOG-25 frag rounds, or red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon equipping the GP-25, the player sets his primary weapon to safe, loads a round and turns off the safety on his launcher. When switching back to his rifle, he tilts the barrel down and catches the falling round before turning off the safety on his rifle.
+The [[RPG-7|RPG-7V2]] is available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgent and Militia light and heavy anti-tanks. The Russian Ground Forces and Militia anti-tank classes are each armed with 2 OG-7V fragmentation warheads and a single PG-7VM high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, with the heavy anti-tank having an additional PG-7VR tandem charge warhead. The Insurgent anti-tank classes has an extra OG-7V warhead to compensate for their [[Squad#SKS|weaker primary rifle]]. When switching between warheads, the player character removes the previous warhead before loading the warhead of choice.

-== M203A1 Grenade Launcher ==
+Additionally, the Russian Ground Forces anti-tank's RPG-7V2 also comes equipped with a PGO-7 (likely the V3 variant), which is regrettably plagued with incorrect or missing markings. It also does not come with the UP-7V sighting device designed to be used in tandem with it, despite the combination of the two being the defining features of the RPG-7V2 over the older variants. Finally, production of the PG-7VM had long ceased since the 70s, and it would be unlikely to see such warheads in the Russian arsenal. Rather, they would have been replaced by the PG-7VL instead.
-The [[M203 grenade launcher|M203A1 grenade launcher]] is available to the US Army grenadier, mounted to his [[Squad#M4 Carbine|M4 Carbine]]. It is able to fire M433 HEDP rounds or, similar to the [[Squad#GP-25 Grenade Launcher|GP-25]], red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon selecting the M203A1, the player flips the leaf sight up and loads a round, and when switching back to his rifle, he empties the launcher of any shells and flips the sight down.
