| '''''Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades''''', also known as H3VR, is a virtual-reality shooting gallery sandbox game with an emphasis on realistic weapon operation. Using the HTC Vive's motion controllers players can manipulate individual rounds in a magazine, pull the cocking lever, flip safeties, deploy a bipod, fold or collapse the stock, dry-fire, and even adjust the zeroing on sights and scopes.

| Outside of custom models created for the game, a good portion of the game's weapon models come from either publicly available 3D assets sold on asset stores and direct donations from freelance weapon artists to the game's lead Anton Hand. With some detailed research, it is even possible to identify the exact creators of individual models, either by researching in the asset stores or artist portfolios. For instance, many of the early weapons have made-up markings, a feature of weapons from the "Ultimate FPS Weapons Pack" by weapon artist ChamferZone, and a series of Mauser C96 variants added later in the game are all from the "Mauser Pistol Pack" by Stefan Engdahl. More info on weapon assets and artists can be found in the discussion page.

| ==Beretta 92FS==
| |
| While not directly usable in-game, a [[Beretta 92FS]] (different from the [[Beretta M9A1|M9A1]] below) is seen on the item spawner's instruction panel as an example handgun, showing off some standard controls and functions.

| ==Beretta 92FS (Grammaton Cleric pistol)==
| | {{Spoilers}} |
| Replicas of the modified Grammaton Cleric pistol from the movie ''[[Equilibrium]]'' are available in-game, having been added through Update #37. The Grammaton Cleric comes in full-auto, and boasts the same interesting muzzle flash as the movie gun.

| ==Beretta 950BS Jetfire==
| | {{Game Title}} |
| The [[Beretta 950 Jetfire]] is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added through the first Meatmas update. 2 versions are available - a standard blued model with black plastic grips, and a gold-plated model with mother-of-pearl grips.

| ==Beretta M9A1==
| |
| The [[Beretta M9A1]] is one of the 4 pistols added in Update #5. Upon its introduction, it was permanently fitted with a suppressor; this was removed in favor of a threaded barrel in Update #20 (which introduced detachable suppressors to the game).

| |
| | |
| ==Beretta M9A3==
| |
| Update #52 added a [[Beretta M9A3]] to the game, complete with its own unique (yet interchangeable) 17-round magazines.
| |
| [[File:BerettaM9A3.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Beretta M9A3 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

| ==Beretta Px4 Storm==
| |
| The [[Beretta Px4 Storm]] is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #20, and is correctly able to share magazines with the earlier [[Beretta M9A1|M9A1]], the concurrently-added [[Beretta Cx4 Storm|Cx4]], and the later-added [[Beretta Mx4 Storm|Mx4]].

| ==Bergmann-Bayard M1901 "Simplex"==
| |
| The Wurstwurld update brought along a [[Bergmann-Bayard|Bergmann Simplex]] pocket pistol, among many other things. Of note is that this is the first ever appearance of this weapon in a video game, and only the second documented appearance of it in any form of media, the first being in ''[[Mystic Archives of Dantalian, The|The Mystic Archives of Dantalian]]''.

| | |
| ==Browning Hi-Power==
| |
| The [[Browning Hi-Power]] was the first weapon added in the 1st Meatmas update. Notably, it is correctly depicted as being unfireable without a magazine inserted.

| ==Charter Arms Explorer II==
| |
| Update #59's 9th alpha build brought along a [[Armalite AR-7|Charter Arms Explorer II]], a pistol variant of the [[Armalite AR-7]] survival rifle.

| ==Colt Defender==
| |
| The 12th and final alpha build of Update #52 added a [[Colt Defender]], chambered in .45 ACP.
| |
| [[File:ColtDefenderM1911.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Colt Defender - .45 ACP]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Defender Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting the left side of the Defender.

However, the "Series 90" marking is still present in-game, as hard as it is to see here.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Defender Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The right side; in the words of many an unfinished page, "'''Nice, but where's the trigger?'''" The answer is that it's in the magwell; this bug was fixed in the following update.]]

| |
| | |
| ==Colt M1911A1==
| |
| The [[M1911A1]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #3. Update #23 added 2 cosmetic variants: one with a matte-gray finish and green synthetic grips, and one with a gold-plated finish and black grips. A unique version of the latter with unlimited ammunition, full-automatic fire capability, and a length of about 1 meter is available in the Meatmas level; this is referred to as, of all possible names, "Floppy McLongflopper".

| ===Lebman Machine Pistol===
| |
| A fully-automatic variant of the [[M1911A1]], based on the machine pistol conversions created by Hyman Lebman, is one of Update #52's additions.

| |
| ==="Oversize M1911A1"===
| |
| Update #52's 7th alpha build (the April Fools' Day special) included the so-called "Oversize" version of the M1911A1. As the name implies, it is substantially larger than the standard M1911A1, being more akin in size to a howitzer than a handgun; to facilitate human use, it is fitted with several RIS-type grips for handling, a rail on the side for sights (as attempting to aim with the standard slide-mounted irons would likely lead to the user being decapitated), and an equally massive bipod for more stable use.
| |
| | |
| It fires the ".45 ACP Oversize" round, which, amusingly, had already been added to the game several updates prior; many enterprising players combined this with the ability to cook off and/or directly strike the primers of loose rounds to set them off (introduced in Update #48), and the game's substantial amounts of freedom with regards to rail adaptor placement (or spacially-lockable platforms, for that matter) to create various devices to launch these rounds.

INC" out of "HEDEN, .N.Y".

| ==Colt Woodsman Match Target==
| |
| One of the weapons added in the 2018 Halloween update (the main headline of which was the ''Return of the Rotweiners'' gamemode, a large-scale rogue-lite zombie RPG) was a [[Colt Woodsman Match Target]] .22 target pistol with gold-inlaid engravings and pearl grips.

| | |
| =="Cyber Pistol"==
| |
| One of the first firearms added to ''H3VR'' (before it even carried that name, in fact), along with the "Cartoon 8 Gauge" [[Lupara|sawn-off shotgun]], was the "Cyber Pistol", a fictional semi-automatic handgun with an integrated laser sight. It feeds from a 9-round single-stack magazine; this initially used a simple, proprietary round known only as "Cyber Pistol" ammunition; in Update #52, it was changed to use the same "10mm DSM" ammo as the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]]. The Cyber Pistol isn't presently attainable through the standard item spawner, though some scenes feature an Easter egg fully-automatic version with infinite ammo, and the standard version can be obtained through random spawns in modes such as Take & Hold.

| ==Desert Eagle Mark VII==
| |
| A [[Desert Eagle Mark VII]], chambered in .44 Magnum is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #26, an update that (perhaps more significantly) also added the Meat Grinder gamemode.
| |
| | |
| On April Fools' Day of 2018, Update #52's 7th alpha build was released. Among other things, this included the "Degle.50", a cardboard Desert Eagle held together with duct tape. The weapon was meant as a joke response to a poorly-spelled Steam request for a replica of the Desert Eagle seen in ''Blue Estate''. It fires the ".50 Imaginary" round, of which several types (with names just as eloquent as that of the pistol itself) are available. To top it off, all of the Degle's sound effects were created by game director Anton Hand - not mixed, mind you, but literally created - the sounds are all Anton saying various onomatopoeia associated with the weapon's functions.

| ==Desert Eagle Mark XIX==
| |
| To compliment the .44 Mark VII, Update #58 added a [[Desert Eagle Mark XIX]] in .50 Action Express. The in-game handgun is a more recent Magnum Research model, with rails on the barrel and frame, and a ported barrel.

| ==FN Five-seveN==

| | |
| ==French UNION==
| |
| So far the only known media appearance of this fairly rare French machine pistol, the UNION was a version of the [[Ruby]] capable of full-auto fire. It had a distinctive 35-round horseshoe magazine, which is replicated in-game.

While not visible here, the front of the lower frame indicates that the serial number is 0424, and the magazine is marked "CHARGEUR "UNION" CAL.7/65 B<sup>TE</sup> S.G.D.G".]]

| ==Glock 17==
| |
| Update #53 added a series of 9x19mm [[Glock]] pistols, the first of which being the ubiquitous [[Glock 17]] to ''H3VR'', specifically a 4th-generation model. It comes in 2 flavors - vanilla, and "Custom", the latter having a flared magazine well, raised aftermarket iron sights, a slide-mounted red dot sight, and a modified slide resembling the ZEV Technologies Dragonfly, with diagonal slide serrations and milling cuts around the barrel. It also comes with a unique magazine, interchangeable with the other 9mm Glocks.

| ==Glock 19==
| |
| The third (or, again, fourth if the customized G17 is counted) and final Update #53 [[Glock]] is a 3rd-gen [[Glock 19]] with an FDE frame and a extended threaded barrel. Before it was made a usable weapon, a compact-sized Glock akin to the 19 (albeit with a [[Glock 26]]-length barrel and slide) was made available to SWBs (Soldier Weiner-Bots) back in Update #46, although according to its Sosigun spawn-menu name, it is apparently meant as a cartoonish [[Glock 17]].

| |
| The [[Glock 22]] is one of the available handguns in-game, added in Update #5; a version converted to fire in full-auto was added in a later update.

| | |
| ==Intratec TEC-9==
| |
| The [[Intratec TEC-9]] is one of the game's available firearms; it has a rather strange "tacticool" orange paintjob. Initially, 2 versions were available - a standard semi-auto variant, and a variant converted to full-auto; Update #53 changed the latter into a converted [[Interdynamic KG-9]], leaving only the standard semi-auto version.
| |
| [[File:TEC-9.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Intratec TEC-9 - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

This is the full-auto converted model, in case the continuous stream of spent casings didn't make that clear enough. This is somewhat odd, as most full-auto TEC-9s are the earlier open-bolt KG-9 model, but a full-auto conversion of a closed-bolt TEC-9 is far from impossible. Still, Update #53 swapped this out for the more common open-bolt variant.]]

| |
| | |
| ==IWI Uzi Pro==
| |
| Update #53 added an [[Uzi#Uzi Pro|IWI Uzi Pro Pistol]]. True to its real-life nature, it is treated in-game as a semi-auto-only closed-bolt pistol, rather than as a machine pistol, as one may assume at first glance.

| ==Kimber Warrior==
| |
| Update #50 added a [[Kimber Warrior]], fitted with non-standard grip panels, raised red illuminated iron sights, and a permanently-attached red dot sight, known as the "M1911A1 Tactical". The sixth alpha build of Update #52 added a further customized model, with a slide with milling cuts, a different slide-mounted RDS, and bone grips, called the "M1911A1 Operator".

| ==Luger P08==
| |
| The [[Luger P08]] is another handgun option in-game, added through Update #47.

| ==Luger LP08 "Artillery"==
| |
| Update #52 added 3 [[Luger]] variants, the first of which being the [[Luger LP08 "Artillery"]], also known as the "Artillery Luger".

| ==Mauser C96==
| |
| Update #43 introduced the [[Mauser C96]] to the game. The weapon holds 10 rounds of the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge (which, like some in the game, was added before there were any weapons that could use them), and can be reloaded round-by-round or with a 10-round stripper clip.[[Image:C96Pistol.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Pre-War dated Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" Commercial Version - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]

| ==Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer==
| |
| In a similar vein to its 3 extra [[Luger]] variants, Update #52 brought along 3 variants of the [[Mauser C96]], the first being a [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer]] machine pistol.
| |
| [[File:MauserM712Schnellfeuer.jpg|thumb|none|350px|Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer - 7.63x25mm Mauser]]

| ==Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B==
| |
| Unlocked as a reward, the "Frontier Model B" is a precise replica of [[(Serenity) - Mal's Gun (dressed up Taurus Model 85)|Captain Malcom's gun]] from ''[[Serenity]]'' and ''[[Firefly]]''. While the original prop was actually a [[Taurus Model 85]] in a multi-part casing meant to make it look like a semi-automatic, magazine-fed handgun, in-game it is just that- a magazine-fed, semi-automatic handgun that holds 6 rounds (plus one in the chamber) of the proprietary .36 Moses cartridge.

| ==Ruger Mk III==
| |
| The [[Ruger Mk III]] is one of the available firearms in-game; it was added in Update #5, and was, until the release of Update #56, the only weapon in the game chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Notably, its magazine safety (a system that prevents the pistol from firing if no magazine is inserted) is correctly simulated in-game.

| ==Ruger Mk IV==
| |
| Update #59's ninth alpha build added the [[Ruger Mk III|Ruger Mk IV]], an improved version of the Mk III with a simplified disassembly procedure. 2 versions were added: a stainless Hunter model with high-contrast illuminated sights, and a Standard model with a custom integrated suppressor, known as the "Whisper" variant. As with the earlier Mk III, the Mk IVs both have simulated magazine safeties.

| ==SIG-Sauer P250 Compact==

| |
| | |
| ==Seburo Compact-eXploder==
| |
| Update #57 added one firearm, the Compact-eXploder machine pistol, made by Japanese science fiction mangaka Masamune Shirow's fictional arms company Seburo. In-game, the weapon is referred to as the "SCX" (i.e. '''S'''eburo '''C'''ompact-e'''X'''ploder), and fires the 4.6x30mm HK round (its caliber never being specified in the original source material).

| ==Thompson Center Arms Contender==
| |
| The 12th alpha build of Update #52 added a [[Thompson Center Arms Contender]] pistol chambered in .45-70 Government, with a curious combination of a wooden forearm and a synthetic grip. Interestingly, it uses the same code-base as the earlier-added [[Orion Flare Gun]], due to the near-identical manual of arms.

| The [[Tokarev TT-33]] is one of the available firearms in-game. It was the first "real" handgun added (barring the fictitious "Cyber Pistol"), and predates ''H3'''s release altogether; it was one of the few weapons included in the very first early access build of the game.

| ==Volcanic Repeater==
| |
| The [[Volcanic Repeater]] is one of the firearms added in the Wurstworld update. It's based on an early Smith and Wesson produced Navy model, with iron frame over the later brass frame, and is chambered for .41 caliber "Rocket Ball" rounds, which are (correctly) rather anemic.

| ==Chiappa Rhino==
| |
| Update #39 added the [[Chiappa Rhino]] to the game's arsenal; rather than simply choosing one version, ''H3'' made the rather impressive choice of adding all of them - the 20DS, the 40DS, the 50DS, and the 60DS.

| | |
| ==Colt Single Action Army==
| |
| Update #42 made the [[Colt SAA]] available for use in-game, specifically the 5.5" barreled model; this was the first single-action revolver added to H3. Of note is that the weapon will fire if it is dropped on the hammer, provided that the hammer is uncocked and resting on a loaded chamber. This interesting, realistic touch is a trait shared by the other single-action revolvers added to the game later, including the [[Reichsrevolver M1879]] and the [[Nagant M1895]].
| |
| | |
| The SAA was actually present in the game long before Update #42, albeit not in physical form; the "Amendment 35" poster in the indoor shooting range features 2.

| ==LAPD 2019 Blaster==
| |
| Update #43 introduced the [[(Blade Runner) - LAPD 2019 Blaster|LAPD 2019 Blaster]] from ''[[Blade Runner]]'', referring to it as the "LAPD 2019 Special" (another one of its common names). It is perhaps one of the most intricate depictions of the weapon in any piece of media (and most certainly the most complex weapon in the game):
| |
| | |
| The weapon, at its core, is a 5-shot, swing-out cylinder DAO revolver, chambered for the proprietary (and fictional) 10mm DSM (Discarding Sabot Magnetic) cartridge. This cartridge has a variety of available ammo types, including:
| |
| *"Slugger" rounds (the weapon's default ammunition type; a hard-hitting, high-impact round),
| |
| *Fragmentation rounds (yes, the weapon can fire grenades),
| |
| * "Swarm" rounds (multi-projectile, shotgun-like rounds),
| |
| *Tracer rounds
| |
| *"Turbo Penetrator" rounds (a high-velocity armor-piercing round that doesn't impart much energy, but can penetrate a variety of targets),
| |
| *and highly sensitive, surface-adhering, low-velocity, motion-sensitive proximity mine rounds (while the sensitivity is nice for dealing with enemies, it also means that they can be detonated by other things, including miscellaneous nearby moving objects, other proximity mines as they fly through the air, and even simply being fired in the charged mode, meaning that their sensitivity can be either a benefit or a hazard).
| |
| | |
| Furthermore, the hollow underneath the weapon's barrel is storage for the weapon's batteries (which bring the profile fully into line with the original prop, complete with LEDs that change color as the battery loses charge) used in the railgun-assisted mode, which dramatically increases muzzle velocity, at the cost of creating massive amounts of heat (as one would expect from a railgun).
| |
| | |
| To help slow the weapon's overheating, heat sinks (called "thermal clips" in-game) are placed into what was the [[Steyr Mannlicher Model L|Steyr Mannlicher Model SL]]'s chamber on the original prop (the bolt handle is turned to expose the heat sink, and pulled back to eject it if necessary); these have to be replaced regularly to prevent the weapon from overheating critically. As the weapon overheats, its barrel will begin to put off steam, then glow progressively brighter and brighter, while the accuracy and battery efficiency suffer; eventually, if the weapon reaches its highest heat level, its barrel will be permanently damaged, causing a significant drop in accuracy even after the weapon cools down.
| |
| [[File:BladeRunner1982Blaster01.jpg|thumb|none|300px|The original prop from ''Blade Runner''.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This weapon can either be viewed as the result of countless years of scientific research and development, or as the result of firearm kitbashing, but either way, it's undeniably beautiful.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Open.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The revolver's cylinder, open and ready for loading. Note the red dot on the ground; this is from the weapon's integrated laser sight (the small rod just to the left of the cylinder, with a red end), which is active whenever the weapon is held.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the weapon. The fact that this is a faithful recreation of the original movie prop means that it doesn't have any iron sights, though the integrated laser makes that a bit of a moot point.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As impressive as the weapon is, one can't help but feel like something's missing...]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Battery Loaded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ahh, much better!]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Battery Closeup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A closeup of the battery. The color of the LEDs changes as their power is drained; they start out green, changing to yellow, orange, and eventually red when empty. The markings read "L.A.P.D. MODEL 2019 A.N.2. 10MM DSM".]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Firing Charged.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing a charged shot from the LAPD produces some impressive particle effects. The back of the laser sight doubles as a capacitor charge indicator; when the weapon is set to auto-charge, there is a short, but noticeable, delay between shots, wherein power is drained from the battery and transferred to the capacitor.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Heatsink.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Opening up what was once a chamber reveals the downside of this increased power is an increase in excess heat, which is stored in these heat sinks. The markings here read "MADE IN CALIFORNIA" and "10816", the latter presumably being a serial number.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Overheated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Failure to replace the heat sinks frequently enough results in... this.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR LAPD 2019 Firing Overheated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|If this problem is ignored even further, it only gets worse; the particles close to the weapon are actually pieces of the inside of the barrel, the ejection of which has a rather predictable effect on the weapon's accuracy.]]

| |
| | |
| ==Nagant M1985==
| |
| The [[Nagant Revolver#Russian Nagant M1895|Nagant M1985]] was added through Update #47. It holds 7 rounds of 7.62x38mmR Nagant ammunition, of which only it uses. Notably, it is treated as single-action only, the reasons for this being twofold: the weapon was built to use the same code set as the [[Colt SAA]] and [[Reichsrevolver M1879]], and the Nagant has a notoriously heavy trigger pull in double-action due to its unique gas-seal mechanism; while it wasn't the original intended purpose, this also allows the weapon to be effectively suppressed, a capability that is emulated in-game. This single-action behavior could also be indicative of the so-called "Private's Model" variant of the Nagant, which was in fact SAO.

| |
| [[File:H3VR Nagant Suppressed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Nagant's unique gas seal system also allows for... this.]]
| |
| | |
| ==Reichsrevolver M1879==
| |
| Added through the long-awaited Update #45, the [[Reichsrevolver M1879]] is available for use in-game, and is (understandably) the only weapon in-game to use the 10.6x25mmR cartridge.

| ==Smith & Wesson Model 327 R8==
| |
| The [[Smith & Wesson Model 327]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the 2016 Meatmas update. Uniquely, the revolver in-game is a left-handed model, the cylinder swinging out to the right instead of the left as is normally the case.

| ==Smith & Wesson Model 500==
| |
| Added in the 7th alpha build of Update #59, the [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] makes its mark as the most powerful (per-shot) non-fictional handgun in the game.

| ==Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter/686P Hybrid==
| |
| One of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update was a strange hybrid of [[Smith & Wesson]] revolvers, with the overall appearance of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter|Model 629 Stealth Hunter]], but the .357 Magnum chambering and 7-shot cylinder of a [[Smith & Wesson Model 686|Model 686P]].

| |
| [[File:H3VR 686 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Sometimes, this happens. Due to the way in which speedloaders are handled in ''H3'', with each visual round being an actual, physical, independent round, sometimes there can be one or two "odd men out".]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR 686 Loading Backwards.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Fortunately, there is an alternate hand pose for the revolvers, which makes this easier. It also makes loading them easier for lefties.]]

| |
| | |
| ==Webley Mk. VI==
| |
| The [[Webley Mk VI]] has been added with the release of Update #47. It was initially chambered for the ".454 Webley" round, a mis-writing of .455 Webley; this error was later corrected. Notably, it is also the first top-break revolver in the game.

| ==AEK-919K “Kashtan”==
| |
| The [[AEK-919K “Kashtan”]] is one of the available firearms in-game; it was added in the 1st Meatmas update, during the third week.

| ==Beretta Mx4 Storm==
| |
| The fully-automatic variant of the earlier-added [[Beretta Cx4 Storm|Cx4]], the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm]], was added in Update #52.

| ==Brügger & Thomet MP9==
| |
| The [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]] was added in the 2016 Meatmas update, permanently fitted with B&T's distinctive railed suppressor. Update #46 added a version without the fixed suppressor; the suppressor was then made an attachment in Update #52, which resulted in the removal of the suppressed version.

| |
| A [[Cobray M11/9]] was added through Update #50, AKA the 2017 Meatmas Update.

| [[File:H3VR P90 Auto.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and, of course, full-auto. One interesting feature of the P90 that ''H3'' simulates is its interesting behavior in full-auto; despite having a separate semi-auto setting, the P90 uses a 2-stage trigger system in full-auto mode (i.e. a partial pull of the trigger produces semi-automatic fire, whereas a full pull produces automatic fire).]]

| A [[Heckler & Koch MP5A2]] with a Surefire forend is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added to the game with Update #7. Update #24 made some changes, including the addition of a top rail, and the ability to adjust the sights and turn on the flashlight.

| ==Heckler & Koch MP5K-PDW==
| |
| Between the release of Update #9 (when it was added) and Update #20 (when it was removed), the game's MP5K was actually a stockless [[MP5K-PDW]], as identified by the distinctive muzzle device. It was replaced by the [[MP5K|MP5KA4]] due to inaccuracies in the model, many of which were magazine-related.

| ==IMI Uzi==
| |
| In the 9th alpha of Update #59, two versions of the [[Uzi]] were added: the solid-stocked "Classic", and the folding-stocked "Compact"; prior to this, in Update #52's 10th alpha, the folding-stocked version was added as an option for SWBs.

| ==Interdynamic KG-9==
| |
| A full-auto converted [[Interdynamic KG-9]] is one of the available firearms in-game; it features the same strange strange paintjob as the [[TEC-9]]. It is referred to as a modified version of the latter; it initially was, until Update #53 converted it from closed-bolt to open-bolt, effectively turning it into an earlier open-bolt KG-9.

While the later-pattern sights and cocking handle would normally imply this to be a TEC-9, the open-bolt functionality makes it simply a KG-9 modified with the later-pattern parts. It could also be explained as a TEC-9 upper receiver mated to a KG-9 lower; similar conversions have been seen in various media forms before.]]

| =="Kalashniluger"==
| |
| The second variant of the [[Luger]] coming to the game in Update #52 is a downright bizarre modification of the P08, which has a considerable amount of [[AKM]] parts attached to it, including a stock, a handguard (with a Soviet-type dovetail rail on the side), a set of sights, and a barrel and gas tube, the latter of which actually contains the weapon's barrel; a hole has been placed in the front sight tower for this to fire through. As if that weren't ridiculous enough, it is also fully-automatic, which, due to the Luger's toggle-locked action, leads to a downright absurd rate of fire.
| |
| | |
| However, perhaps the strangest thing about this weapon is that [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ug_3T0wu0DI it actually exists]. Made by German custom gun shop Waffen Werle, it is exactly what was described - an automatic Luger modded out with AKM parts.

| |
| [[File:H3VR M1A1 Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Upon flipping the weapon over, one discovers that the aforementioned view through the ejection port is made possible by the Thompson's bolt hold-open; unlike many open-bolt firearms, if a Thompson is dry-fired with a magazine inserted (i.e. when the trigger is held after firing the last shot in full-auto), the bolt will not go forwards.]]

| ===Suppressed M3===

| Update #51 added a variant with the OSS-type integral suppressor; while this isn't necessarily impossible, suppressors were more common on the later M3A1 variant. This choice was likely made to reuse most of the existing M3 model. The update also made the previously permanently-collapsed stock extendable.

| | |
| ==MAC-11==
| |
| The [[MAC-11]] is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added to the game in its infancy- all the way back in Update #4. Following Update #46, SWBs can now make use of these.

| [[File:H3VR MAC-11 Closeup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Upon attempting to fire the MAC-11, our favorite literally nobody finds it distinctly lacking in apodiean output; a close look at the left side reveals the culprit: the ever-nefarious safety lever.

CAL 9MM AUTO" on the first line, "MILITARY ARMAMENT CORP" on the second, and "POWDER SPRINGS GA, USA" on the third.]]

| | |
| ==MP40==
| |
| Added through Update #50, the [[MP40]] is available for use in ''H3VR''.

| |
| | |
| ==PASAM==
| |
| The second of Update #52's 3 [[C96]] variants is a derivative of the above [[Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer|Schnellfeuer]], and a rather curious one at that: a Brazilian PASAM submachine gun, modified with a top rail and a [[Vz. 61 Skorpion]]-esque top-folding stock.
| |
| | |
| The model itself is a publicly-available 3D asset by weapon artist Stefan Engdahl, going by the name "Mauser Assault Carbine" and sold on CG Trader alongside all the other C96 variants seen in-game as the "Mauser Pistol Pack." It is a strange hybrid which appears to be based on a photograph of a converted airsoft gun, with a standard C96 pistol grip like a Mod 1 PASAM but the barrel shroud attached to the top of the magazine housing rather than all along it, with a vaguely Thompson-like foregrip which is not really like either PASAM variant, and the folding wire stock which no variant had (the 2nd variant of the PASAM only had a fixed wire stock). On ArtStation, Engdahl acknowledged that it's a modification of his Mauser M712 model he made for fun.

| | |
| ==PP-19 Bizon-2==
| |
| The [[PP-19 Bizon-2]] is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #18; upon its release, it was permanently fitted with a side-mounted Picatinny rail adaptor, but this was made into an attachment in Update #40. It is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, and as such, holds 53 rounds.

| |
| The [[PP-2000]] is one of the many firearms added in the 1st Meatmas update.

| |
| | |
| ==PPSh-41==
| |
| The iconic [[PPSh-41]] submachine gun was added through Update #50, and is capable of using either 35-round box magazines or 71-round drums.
| |
| [[File:PPSH-01-SMG.jpg|thumb|none|450px|PPSh-41 - 7.62x25mm Tokarev]]

| ==="PPSh-14"===
| |
| A fictional version of the PPSh, also added through Update #50, this weapon is seemingly intended as a modernized variant of the original 1941 design (which, if the name is anything to go by, was designed in 2014). The model is done by [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/46ER8 Pavel Kutejnikov].

| =="QC9 PDW" (Custom 9mm AR-15)==
| |
| Added through Update #46, the "QC9 PDW" is an AR-15-patterned submachine gun chambered in 9x19mm. It appears to consist of a QC10 Colt-magazine-compatible 9mm lower, a VLTOR upper, and a Magpul MOE stock and pistol grip, among other things. In-game, it can take 3 types of magazines- a 32-round Colt-pattern stick magazine, a 32-round "waffle"-pattern polymer stick magazine, or an X-Products X-15 50-round drum magazine.

| ==Sa. Vz. 61 Skorpion==
| |
| The [[Sa. Vz. 61 Skorpion]] is available in ''H3'', having been added with the M.E.A.T.S. gamemode in Update #37. The one in-game has a bit of an identity crisis; it's visually a Vz. 61, complete with curved magazines, but it's referred to as a Vz. 64, and is accordingly chambered in .380 ACP.

| |
| [[File:H3VR Skorpion Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|It also makes aiming a bit easier - more due to its absence from the sight picture than its presence as a stabilizer, but again, it's still convenient.

| |
| | |
| ==Sten Mk. II==
| |
| Update #49 added the [[Sten Mk II]] submachine gun, which marks the first time since the introduction of the [[MAC-11]] that an open-bolt weapon was added to ''H3VR''. Notably, the weapon's secondary grip zone (where the user's non-firing hand goes) is around the barrel shroud, meaning that the game only allows the proper two-handed grip with the secondary hand around the barrel shroud, the improper magazine grip disallowed. There is also another variation, the so-called "Mk. 9 Chopshop" variant, with a shortened barrel and a cut-down stock.

| ==TDI Vector==
| |
| The [[TDI Vector]] is one of the firearms added in Update #37. 2 variants of the weapon were initially available in-game: a standard one, and one fitted with the barrel shroud and extended barrel of the CRB civilian carbine variant, though still possessing the trigger and 120-degree safety of a Gen I version; Update #52 made an attachable suppressor out of the extended barrel's shroud, before Update #53 turned it into a shrouded barrel extension, and removed the now-redundant long-barreled Vector. Both are fitted with a factory [[AR-15]] stock adaptor, attached to which is an aftermarket stock<!--I'm not very good with this; can anyone ID the stock on the Vector-->; they were also initially fitted with non-removable vertical foregrips, until Update #52 made foregrips into attachments, and removed them from any weapons that initially had them.

| ==Benelli M4 Super 90==
| |
| The [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] is one of the available shotguns in-game; it was added in Update #6, along with the [[Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6|FABARM Martial]].

| | |
| ==Beretta DT11==
| |
| The [[12 Gauge Double Barreled Shotgun#Over and Under Shotgun (O/U)|Beretta DT11]] is one of the 4 shotguns added in Update #15. Following Update #46, 2 new variants were added - one with a shortened set of barrels, and one with further-shortened barrels and a cut-down stock.

| | |
| ==Heckler & Koch FABARM Martial Pro Forces==
| |
| The [[Heckler & Koch FABARM FP6|H&K FABARM Martial Pro Forces]] is one of the available firearms in-game. It was the game's first pump-action shotgun, and is tied with the [[Benelli M4 Super 90]] for the game's first 12-gauge shotgun, both having been added in Update #6.

| |
| | |
| ==Franchi SPAS-12==
| |
| The [[Franchi SPAS-12]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #24. 2 variants are available - a standard model with a folding stock, and a stockless model with a rail system and spare shell holder. Highly unusually for a video game, the SPAS-12's dual-mode semi-auto/pump-action functionality is depicted in ''H3'', even more unusually with its intended purpose being exploitable (i.e. switching between semi-auto for high-pressure shells and pump-action for low-pressure ones). Unfortunately, however, the switching is performed by a simple touchpad button press on the forward hand's controller, with the pump not ever visibly moving to reflect the change in mode (always being shown in the correct position for pump-action fire, and never moving forward to switch to semi-auto); furthermore, the weapon's loading procedure is simplified, with the real weapon's requirement to hold down the bolt release in order to load shells into the magazine tube being omitted in-game.

| | |
| =="KWG1"==
| |
| The "KWG1" is one of the available firearms in-game, added through Update #15. It is a fictional magazine-fed full-auto shotgun, rather reminiscent of the "Bolter" weapons from the ''Warhammer 40K'' universe. It is based on an image of what seems to be some sort of stage or cosplay prop, which was then adapted into a 3D model by artist [https://www.artstation.com/kutejnikov Pavel Kutejnikov].
| |
| [[File:KWG1 Reference.jpg|thumb|none|450px|The prop that the "KWG1" was based upon, which seems to have an [[MP5]] S-E-F trigger pack. Also note the shells in the magazine; the length of the brass, the plastic-like gloss across them, and the manner in which they are stacked (parallel to each other, which wouldn't be possible with actual shotgun shells due to their rims) all point towards this being a prop, rather than an actual live-firing shotgun.]]

| ==Mossberg 590A1==

| ==MTs255==
| |
| The [[MTs255]] revolving shotgun was added to the game in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available - a standard full-length version, and a version with a sawn-off barrel and stock.

| ==Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul==
| |
| Added in Update #52, the "Express 870", as it's known in-game, is a [[Remington 870|Remington 870 Express Tactical Magpul]] with tan furniture.

| [[File:H3VR 870 Express Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Having come to their senses, said player character is soon merrily blasting the Sosigs with the now-correctly-oriented shotgun. The Dragon's Breath round is rather interesting: it is filled with pieces of magnesium, which catch fire as they fly through the air, and start fires where they land, as seen here. Due to the round's low pressure and high cost, coupled with international regulations on the use of incendiary munitions on human beings (and the risk of setting things on fire by accident), these incendiary shells aren't used in any sort of martial capacity, and are largely a civilian novelty.]]

| ==Remington 870 Field Gun==
| |
| The Meatmas Update of 2016 added a [[Remington 870 Field Gun]] with a cut-down barrel. Update #46 added two additional variants, one with a sawn-off stock and one with a full-length barrel; it also made the latter one of the available weapons for SWBs.

| ==Remington 870 TAC-14 DM==
| |
| The later detachable-magazine variant of the [[Remington 870]], the 870 DM, was added in Update #52. It is in the "TAC-14" configuration, a variant with a 14" barrel and a Shockwave Industries Raptor grip, which is meant to make it evade NFA regulations regarding short-barreled shotguns by way of legally not being classified as anything other than a "firearm". The one in-game is also presumably either modified or broken, seeing as it is capable of slam-fire, unlike a normal 870.

| ==Sawn-off Double Barreled Shotgun==
| |
| There are 4 main varieties of [[Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun]] in-game. The first (and also one of the first weapons added to the game, back when the game was just Anton Hand's experiment grounds and not even named H3VR yet) was the so-called "Cartoon 8 Gauge", which sounds downright painful, the second is a more reasonable 12-gauge version (seen below), and the 3rd is the same as the second, except sawn down to ''[[Killing Them Softly]]''-level absurdity (albeit unlike that movie's shotgun, this one also has the grip sawn down even further than the standard version), which, predictably, makes the spread somewhere between hilarious and pitiful. The fourth, added with Update #52, is an 1864 Wells Fargo stagecoach shotgun with external hammers and shell loops on the forend.
| |
| | |
| Wurstworld's Weinerbots also make use of sawn-off shotguns, alongside their generic revolvers and lever-action rifles.

| ==Serbu Super Shorty==
| |
| A [[Remington 870]]-based [[Serbu Super Shorty]] is one of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available: a normal, clean version, and a "tacticool" version, complete with a door-breaching muzzle brake, a rail mount, and a set of spare shell holders that hold more shells than the gun itself does.

| ==Winchester Model 1887==
| |
| The [[Winchester Model 1887|Model 1887]] was added to ''H3'' with the Wurstworld update, and comes in both full length and sawn-off forms. And yes, it can be spin-cocked ''a la'' ''[[Terminator 2]]''. (In fact, one of Wurstworld's rewards is a T2-themed sawn-off 1887, complete with a darker finish, extended lever loop, and cut-back trigger guard.)

| ==AK-101==
| |
| An [[AK-101]] was added in the 2016 Meatmas update. Update #40 replaced the model, and made its side-mounted dovetail rail functional, allowing for the use of Soviet-type optics (or Western ones, if an adaptor is installed).

| ==AKM==
| |
| An [[AKM]] is one of the available firearms in-game. Added in Update #13 (the 2016 4th of July update), it has an interesting list of updates under its belt; Update #40 replaced the model entirely, with one that lacked the prior model's permanently-attached side-bracket rail adaptor, the 10th alpha of Update #52 added the AKM to the arsenals of SWBs, and Update #58 added a "Tactical" model fitted with a variety of aftermarket modifications; among them are a full set of Magpul MOE furniture, a railed receiver cover, an aftermarket rear sight, an aftermarket selector lever, and an aftermarket muzzle brake.

| |
| [[File:H3VR AKM Auto.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another thing to note about the AK series is the arrangement of the selector's positions; rather than the "Safe-Semi-Auto" model common on most select-fire weapons, AKs generally have a "Safe-Auto-Semi" setup, which means that disengaging an AK's safety sends the user straight into full-auto.]]

| ==Colt M4A1==
| |
| The [[M4A1]] is one of the available firearms in-game, and one of the first to be added; it predates even the game's actual name. This model was a [https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/props/weapons/hq-assault-rifle-56096 publicly-available asset] made by weapon artist Nightfrontier, who had collaborated with game lead Anton Hand on disassembling it into the game's systems.
| |
| | |
| Due to game issues relating to the original weapon model, Update #48 revamped the weapon model, replacing it with a new one that lacks the previous model's folding foregrip, and has a railed handguard, a Crane stock, an extended charging handle tab, and an aftermarket folding BUIS. The update also included a "Left Hook" variant, which is completely mirrored, and meant for left-handed users.

| ==="M4A1 Shorty"===
| |
| Added in Update #49, the "M4A1 Shorty" is, as the name implies, a variant of the M4A1 with a shorter barrel, gas system, and handguard. It doesn't specifically match any one model in particular; the most appropriate way to describe it would be a commercial "pistol" upper receiver attached to a standard M4A1 lower.

| ==CZ SA vz. 58P==
| |
| The final, full release of Update #59 brought along a series of [[SA vz. 58|CZ SA vz. 58]] variants, the first of which is a standard, full-stocked vz. 58P (''"Pěchotní"'', Czech for "infantry").
| |
| [[File:800px-Sa_58-JH01.jpg|thumb|none|450px|CZ SA vz. 58P - 7.62x39mm]]

| |
| | |
| ==CZ SA vz. 58V==
| |
| To compliment the full-stocked vz. 58P, Update #59 also added a [[SA vz. 58|CZ SA vz. 58V]], the folding-stocked paratrooper model (the "V" standing for ''"Výsadkový"'', Czech for "airborne"). An additional variant with an aftermarket muzzle device, railed handguard, synthetic pistol grip, receiver-mounted scope rail, extended magazine release, and aftermarket ambidextrous bolt was also added, known as the "Custom" variant.

| Along with the full-length variants, Update #59 brought along a [[CSA SA vz. 58 Compact|CZ SA vz. 58 Compact]]. The vz. 58 Compact in-game lacks its standard side-folding stock; instead, it is compatible with the game's selection of pistol stocks.

| ==L85A2==
| |
| The [[L85A2]] is the 2nd part of the first Meatmas update's "Bullpup Trifecta", alongside the [[FAMAS F1]] and [[Steyr AUG A3|AUG A3]]. Initially, there were 2 variants available - one with iron sights, and one with a SUSAT scope - but Update #52 removed the latter version, replacing it with an attachable version of the SUSAT.

| ==M16A1==
| |
| The [[M16A1]] is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added through the first Meatmas update. Update #51 brought along 2 unique scopes for the weapon: a 6-24x variable-magnification scope, and a fixed-magnification 3x20 scope.

| | |
| ==Mk 18 Mod 1==
| |
| Update #10 added a [[Mk 18 Mod 1]], fitted with a non-standard railed handguard with rail covers, an aftermarket pistol grip, a Crane stock, and a Magpul AFG, all (save for the handguard) in tan; the latter was removed and turned into an attachment in Update #52's 3rd alpha build.

| ==Bendix-Hyde 2nd Model Light Rifle==
| |
| The second version of the [[Bendix-Hyde Light Rifle]], a prototype entered into the US Light Rifle Program trials, was made available in Update #52's 11th alpha build.

| |
| | |
| ==Beretta Cx4 Storm==
| |
| The [[Beretta Cx4 Storm]] semi-auto carbine is available in-game, added in Update #20; it was, until the release of Update #52, permanently fitted with a foregrip. It is correctly capable of sharing magazines with the [[Beretta Px4 Storm|Px4 Storm]] added in the same update, as well as the [[Beretta M9A1|M9A1]] added earlier and the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm|Mx4 Storm]] added later.

| | |
| ==Brügger & Thomet APC45 Carbine==
| |
| Update #61 added a pair of [[Brügger & Thomet APC9|Brügger & Thomet APC]]-series pistol-caliber carbines, one of which is an APC45. This is possibly the APC45's first known appearance in any form of media.
| |
| [[File:APC45 Carbine.jpeg|thumb|none|450px|Brügger & Thomet APC45 Carbine - .45 ACP]]

| [[File:H3VR APC45 Firing 1-Handed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the word choice: it ''allows'' the APC45 to be used as a pseudo-pistol. It does ''not'' make doing so easy.]]
| |
| | |
| ==Brügger & Thomet APC9 Carbine==
| |
| To compliment the APC45, Update #61 added the more commonly-seen [[Brügger & Thomet APC9]], also in semi-auto carbine form.
| |
| [[File:APC9 Carbine.jpeg|thumb|none|450px|Brügger & Thomet APC9 Carbine - 9x19mm Parabellum]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR APC9 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bringing the magazine into the equation makes the difference relatively clear. These 32-round magazines are interchangeable with those of the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]], which makes sense, considering that they're made by the same company.]]

| |
| | |
| ==Bushmaster ACR==
| |
| Added in Update #58, the [[Bushmaster ACR]] is, unusually for a video game, correctly treated as a civilian semi-auto rifle, rather than the select-fire assault rifle that most games depict it as.
| |
| [[File:Bushmaster-acr-carbine.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Bushmaster ACR - 5.56x45mm NATO]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR ACR Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In an act of defiance against the reference image, our invisible operator loads his ACR with a 30-round USGI-pattern metal STANAG, rather than the image's PMAG.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR ACR Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Once again, there's nothing to do but make do.]]
| |
| | |
| ==Custom AR-15==
| |
| Update #59's ninth alpha added a custom [[AR-15]] carbine, with a short barrel and PDW-type collapsible stock. Being a civilian rifle, it fires exclusively in semi-auto. Update #61 added another custom AR, this one a full-length rifle, known as the "Bubba-15".
| |
| [[File:NEA 15.jpg|thumb|none|450px|North Eastern Arms NEA-15 PDW - 5.56x45mm NATO. Similar (though not identical) to the rifle in-game.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 10-round magazine, for legality's sake, before irritatedly remembering that most states with magazine capacity restrictions have a total moratorium on SBRs anyway (SBR standing for '''S'''hort-'''B'''arreled '''R'''ifle, a term used in the context of US firearms laws to refer to any firearm with a stock and a rifled barrel shorter than {{convert|in|16}}, or a front-to-back overall length under {{convert|in|26}}; under the National Firearms Act of 1934, these require registration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, with a $200.00 fee, though some states simply prohibit them outright).]]

| ==CZ 858==
| |
| The last of Update #59's [[SA vz. 58]] variants is a synthetic-stocked [[SA vz. 58|CZ 858]] civilian sporter rifle.

| ==DRD Tactical Paratus P762==
| |
| Update #58's collection of modern firearms included a [[DRD Tactical Paratus|DRD Tactical Paratus P762]], a Gen 2 model to be exact.
| |

| |
| | |
| ==FightLite Raider==
| |
| The [[FightLite Raider]], a civilian semi-auto [[AR-15]] "pistol" (i.e. legally considered a pistol by US gun laws, but not really a pistol from a technical or logical standpoint) based on Ares' traditionally-stocked SCR lower, makes its media debut in ''H3'''s 58th update.

| |
| [[File:H3VR Raider Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the Raider. Being a short-barreled rifle in every sense except that of the law, the Raider produces a suitably impressive muzzle flash; however, this isn't exactly something that can be captured well in a still frame.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Raider Removing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Removing the now-empty magazine; while these drop free from most AR-pattern rifles, the Raider's grip is too far back for the magazine release to be accessible with the firing hand, so the magazine has to be removed manually.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Raider Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthermore, while the bolt does lock back, the Raider doesn't actually have a bolt release.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Raider Releasing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As such, the bolt must instead be returned to battery with a quick tug of the charging handle.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Raider Stock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As if the whole situation wasn't strange enough already, the Raider in-game is compatible with all of the stocks that can be attached to actual handguns, allowing for the creation of odd-looking carbines like this.]]
| |
| | |
| ==FN FAL==
| |
| Update #54 brought along the much-desired [[FN FAL]] battle rifle.

| ==FN SCAR-H==
| |
| The [[FN SCAR-H]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added with the release of Update #32. Update #39 gave the SCAR a rail extension that goes past the front sight.

| ==Galil ARM (7.62x51mm)==
| |
| The 7.62x51mm variant of the [[Galil 7.62|Galil ARM]], complete with functional bipod, was added in the first Meatmas update. Until Update #52 (more specifically, its 6th alpha build), the Galil was permanently fitted with a side-mounted bracket scope mount; this was replaced with a Soviet-style side dovetail mount in the update.

| ==M14==
| |
| The [[M14 Rifle]] is one of the firearms added to the game in the first Meatmas update. The release of Update #42 gave the weapon the ability to use 10-round stripper clips. Update #58 replaced the model; while good, the original model had some dimensional issues that complicated parts interchangeability, which necessitated its removal.

| |
| | |
| ==M14 DMR==
| |
| As a companion to the classic wood-stocked version, the [[M14]] in its military DMR configuration was included in the first Meatmas update. Unlike the earlier rifle, it cannot use stripper clips, as its scope mount blocks the action. Being from the same modeler as the original M14 (and being based around the same receiver and barrel group, complete with compatibility-complicating dimensional issues), the M14 DMR was also removed in Update #58; unlike the standard M14, however, no replacement model was added.

| |
| | |
| ==M1 Carbine==
| |
| Update #48 added the [[M1 Carbine]]. It is a late-war/post-war model (with a bayonet lug and adjustable aperture sights), and can accept either 15-round or 30-round magazines of .30 Carbine. Update #51 made a variant with a permanently-attached M84 scope available as well; Update #52 replaced this with an attachable version of the scope.

| ==M1 Garand==
| |
| Along with the [[Luger P08]], the [[Nagant M1895]], and the [[Webley Mk VI]], the [[M1 Garand]] was added to the game with Update #47.

| |
| ===M1D Garand===
| |
| Update #51 brought along the [[M1 Garand|M1D]] variant, fitted with an M84 scope. It was later removed in Update #52, with its replacement being an attachable version of the M84 scope for the M1.
| |
| [[File:M1DGarand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1D Garand - .30-06 Springfield. Note the M37 slotted flash hider; the one in-game has the earlier conical variant.]]

| |
| | |
| ==M2 Carbine==
| |
| Along with the [[M1 Carbine]] came its select-fire relative, the [[M2 Carbine]]. The M2, like the M1, has the late-war pattern of sights and a bayonet lug. It also has a metal heat shield; this was likely both due to the increased amount of heat that the M2 is likely to produce, and to make the M2 more visually distinctive. As with the M1, the M2 gained a variant with an M84 scope following Update #51; also like the M1, this variant was removed, and replaced with an attachable version of the M84 scope.

| ==MAS-49/56==
| |
| The [[MAS-49]]/56 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the first Meatmas update. Upon its addition, it was chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (a non-factory chambering, but a common (if unethical) practice among many civilian owners); Update #42 changed this to the appropriate 7.5x54mm French, and gave it the ability to use 5-round stripper clips. Added with the rifle was an APX L806 3.85-power scope, unique to the MAS.

| The last of Update #52's [[C96]] variants is a rare [[M1917 Trench Carbine]], a variant developed (but not issued) during World War 1 for German ''sturmtruppen''. The weapon in-game is incorrectly chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser, rather than the correct 9x19mm Parabellum.

| [[File:H3VR M1917 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Examining the Trench Carbine. Note the distinctive slab-sided lower frame, and that the magazine well is thinned down to the point of being flush with the receiver, presumably so that the thinner 7.63mm magazines can fit in. Also note how much longer the in-game barrel is compared to the real weapon.]]

| ==Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine==
| |
| First seen in the Alpha 1 build of Update #52, the [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine]] is available for use in ''H3''. Amusingly enough, it is found near the trashcans in the scenes available in the build, referencing one of the Mosin's unflattering nicknames, ''The Garbage Rod''.

| ===Mosin-Nagant "Obrez"===
| |
| Update #52's twelfth alpha brought along a sawn-off version of the Mosin, a configuration commonly referred to as an "Obrez" (Russian for "cut"). The entire stock is removed, and replaced with a homemade wooden pistol grip.
| |

| ==Quackenbush 1886==
| |
| Update #56, AKA the 2018 4th of July Update, included an [[Quackenbush rifle|1886 Quackenbush]] "Bicycle Pump" single-shot .22 rifle. Along with the [[Ruger 10/22]] below, the Quackenbush marked the first addition of a firearm chambered in .22 Long Rifle since the addition of the [[Ruger Mk III]] back in Update #5.

| ==Remington Model 700 VTR==
| |
| While not physically present in-game, a [[Remington 700|Remington Model 700 VTR]] with a bipod appears on the item spawner's instruction panel as an example of a bolt-action rifle.

| |
| | |
| ==Remington Model 8==
| |
| Update #42 added a [[Remington Model 8]] in .35 Remington, fitted with a rear tang-mounted peep sight. Notably, it is able to make use of stripper clips, which were added in this update. Update #46 added a short-barreled variant, which was then removed in Update #52 due to the inherent issues with cutting down the barrel of a long-recoil-operated rifle.

| |
| The eleventh alpha build of Update #52 added a [[Remington Model 81|Remington Model 81 Special Police]], an updated version of the earlier [[Remington Model 8|Model 8]] capable of using detachable magazines. As with the in-game Model 8, the Model 81 is chambered in .35 Remington in-game.

| |
| | |
| ==Ruger 10/22==
| |
| Update #56 (released July 4, 2018) added a synthetic-stocked [[Ruger 10/22]]. Along with the aforementioned Quackenbush, the 10/22 was the first .22 Long Rifle-chambered firearm in ''H3'' since Update #5's [[Ruger Mk III]].

| ==Sako 85==
| |
| A .308 Winchester-chambered [[Sako 85]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #13. Rounding out the update's collection of shortened firearms, Update #46 brought us an Obrez-esque sawn-off Sako.

| |

| ==SKS==
| |
| The [[SKS]] is one of the available firearms in-game (added through Update #18), and is fitted with a Tapco stock and converted to use 20-round detachable magazines. With the release of Update #42, it was granted the ability to use 10-round stripper clips. Update #54 added a classic, non-Bubba'd variant of the rifle, much to the relief of milsurp purists everywhere.

| Update #58 added a [[SOCOM 16]] rifle, with a tan-finished synthetic stock. Like the real weapon (and unlike the game's other [[M14]] variants, presently included or otherwise), it fires exclusively in semi-auto.

| ==Thompson Carbine==
| |
| A prototype version of the [[M1928A1 Thompson]] submachine gun chambered in .30 Carbine was added to the game in the 11th alpha of Update #52. It was developed for the US Light Rifle Program (which would eventually result in the adoption of the [[M1 Carbine]]), but was near-immediately rejected for being too heavy (over {{convert|lbs|10}}, compared to the stated maximum of {{convert|lbs|5}}.

| |
| Update #48 added an [[SVT-40]] to the game, complete with an optional PU scope.

| | |
| ==Winchester Model 1873==
| |
| The Wurstworld update brought along a [[Winchester Model 1873]] lever-action rifle, chambered in .45 Long Colt (a caliber not initially offered in the 1873, though it is available in modern reproductions; this does make some sense when one takes into account what Wurstworld actually is). 2 variants were initially available (a "Trapper" carbine and a longer short rifle); a "Mare's Leg" sawn-off variant was added later. All of the rifle's variants have buckhorn sights and octagonal barrels.

| ==Winchester Model 1894==
| |
| The 2018 4th of July Update (Update #56) added the quintessentially American [[Winchester Model 1894]]. It has a 10-round capacity, and is chambered in .44 Magnum (one of the numerous cartridges that the 1894 has been offered in).

| ==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum==
| |
| Added along with the [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] in Update #59's 7th alpha, the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum]] is the first (and so far, only) weapon in ''H3'' chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum; it is also the largest-caliber sniper rifle in the game that isn't an anti-materiel rifle.

While many of ''H3VR'''s weapon models are purchased or donated from third-party sources, they are sometimes still modified on the game's end; the AWM is a perfect example of this, as its magazine and well were slightly too short to fit normal .338 Lapua rounds (which is correct; being retrofitted for .338LM rather than designed for it, the AWM's magazine can only fit slightly shorter-bulleted .338 rounds, which are sold specifically for this rifle; the decision to make it work with standard .338 Lapua was made in the interests of gameplay and development simplicity), so game dev Anton Hand had to perform "model surgery", as he put it, to lengthen the magazine and well.]]

| The [[Barrett M107A1]] anti-materiel rifle is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #22. Up until the 2018 4th of July Update and its [[Browning M2HB|"M2 Tombstone"]], the Barrett was the only weapon in the game chambered in .50 BMG.

| |
| Added along with the [[SV-98]] in Update #59's ninth alpha build, the [[Remington M40A1]] helps pad out the game's collection of sniper rifles. The weapon in-game has a woodland camo stock, and is fitted with a standard-issue, non-detachable 10x scope.

| ==SVD Dragunov==
| |
| The [[SVD Dragunov]] is one of the available sniper rifles in-game. It was added in Update #18; at the time, it was permanently fitted with a side-mounted rail adaptor bracket, but this was made removable in Update #40, allowing the use of Soviet-type dovetail optics (or, for that matter, open iron sights).

| |
| Update #50 brought along a [[Bren gun]], more specifically the Mk2 variant. Due to the fact that bipods were being updated and tuned at the time of Update #50's release, the variant added instead was one with a shortened barrel and no bipod or carrying handle, with the standard variant added later, in the eleventh alpha of Update #52.

| |
| The 2018 4th of July Update (more formally known as Update #56) added a modified [[Browning M2HB]], known as the "M2 Tombstone". It has a shortened barrel, and is fitted with a pair of top-mounted grips and a bracket for fitting an belt box; the latter serves as its namesake, with the weapon feeding from the 200-round tombstone-shaped ammo cans more normally associated with M2s in AA mounts. The icing on this incredibly absurd cake is the American flag paintjob on the receiver, for that extra patriotic flavor.

| ==Degtyaryov DP-28==

| ==FN M249-E2 SAW==
| |
| Update #52 brought along the game's first two belt-fed weapons, the first being the [[FN M249 SAW]], specifically the E2 variant.
| |
| [[File:Fn m249saw mk2 10-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN M249-E2 SAW - 5.56x45mm NATO]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR M249 Belt Closeup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before pausing for a closer look. This reveals that the belt contains one tracer for every 4 normal FMJ rounds, a common setup among belt-fed machine guns, as it makes it far easier to tell where the gun is firing. This is also pretty much the furthest the belt can be pulled out of the box (and you can't do it unless you attach the box to the gun first), presumably to not drive the CPU mad from trying to calculate the physics on a long, loose belt of ammo.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR M249 Belt Gravity.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Yet another one of the weapon's many impressive details; when it is inverted, the belt visibly sags due to gravity.

| |
| [[File:H3VR M249 Belt Removed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthermore, if the feed tray is opened, then the belt can be removed separately, which causes it to compress itself into the small, convenient ball of ammunition seen here, which can be placed into the gun and causing it to transform into a belt again. This idiosyncrasy is once again because of CPU limitations (notice how the belt is never let loose at any point in the simulation), and these mechanics are used on all belt-feds with exposed belts in this game.]]

| [[File:H3VR M249 Magazine Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Fortunately for him, this proves to be far more useful in-game than in reality; the M249's STANAG well is notoriously unreliable, and attempts to use it frequently result in jamming.]]

| | |
| ==Gatling Gun==
| |
| An 1800s-era [[Gatling Gun]] was added to the Wurstworld scene in Update #43, though there were indications of its not-present presence when the mode was first released. Update #56 (the 2018 4th of July Update) added a ''handheld'' version (chambered in .45-70), rather affectionately nicknamed "Hand Crank Frank".
| |
| [[File:Gatling.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Gatling Gun - .45-70 Government. Similar to the one in-game.]]

| |
| | |
| ==General Dynamics GAU-17/A==
| |
| A ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day|T2]]''-style handheld [[General Dynamics GAU-17/A]] is one of the firearms added in the 2016 Meatmas update, arguably the most fun, and indisputably the most absurd. While logically implausible, it does have one curious "realistic" touch - attempting to fire the weapon one-handed will cause it to spontaneously eject itself from the user's hand and go flying backwards under recoil; this has less to do with realism and more to do with the fact that protracted one-handed fire of a minigun would wreak havoc on the physics engine - not to mention the performance implications of firing two miniguns at once.
| |

| |
| [[File:H3VR GAU-17 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ammunition comes in the form of these belt boxes. These are good for a few seconds of continuous fire; unlike many fictional miniguns, which have drastically lowered fire rates, ''H3'''s GAU-17 chews through ammo at a rate of 2,700 RPM (1 round every frame, at a standardized framerate of 90 FPS), which is well within the GAU's ROF range of 2-6,000 RPM.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR GAU-17 Loaded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|For convenience's sake, the tracer-filled belt saves the user the trouble of pushing through the flexible feed chute and just feeds itself through automatically.]]

| |

| |
| [[File:H3VR GAU-17 Heated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A decent few seconds of sustained fire will leave the GAU-17's barrels looking like this. This is rather strange, considering how one of the main advantages of a rotary barrel system is that it's far more resistant to overheating; if a gun's barrel looks like this, then the user should be seriously worried. In-game, however, it has no effect on the gun's performance, and is purely for the sake of making the weapon more satisfying to use.]]
| |
| | |
| ==M1918A2 BAR==
| |
| Update #50 added an [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] to ''H3''. For the same reasons as the [[Bren gun]]'s changes, the BAR included with the update also has a shortened barrel without a carrying handle or bipod. Update #52's 11th alpha build added the full-length version.
| |
| | |
| Interestingly, the shortened variant is rather reminiscent of Clyde Barrow's cut-down BAR, though that weapon was actually an original M1918, rather than an A2, and had a shortened stock as well as a truncated barrel. The version in H3 is also clearly meant to be an A2, considering the safe-slow-fast selector.

| |
| The second belt-fed weapon added to ''H3'' in Update #52 is the famous (or infamous, depending on which end of it you're on) [[MG42]].

| ==RPK==
| |
| The [[RPK]] is one of the numerous firearms added in the first Meatmas update. At the time, it was actually referred to as a Vepr-3V, the civilian semi-auto version of the RPK, but Update #32 changed it into a military full-auto model. It was then removed in Update #52 for rebuilding, and hasn't been heard from since.

| ==Homemade Flamethrower==
| |
| Added in Update #60, the "Junkyard Flamethrower" is, as the name implies, a homemade flamethrower composed of various pieces of tubing, wiring, and other miscellaneous bits.
| |
| [[File:H3VR Flamethrower Table.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The "Junkyard Flamethrower" on a table in the Proving Ground scene, along with a tank of fuel and a Molotov cocktail.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR Flamethrower Tank.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before pausing to take a look at what was just loaded. The tank is labeled "Dr. Boner's Industrial Strength Nail polish remover", and features a warning to "USE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA"; from this, it can be inferred that the tanks (seemingly propane tanks, of the sort used in portable camp stoves and the like) are filled with concentrated acetone. While this may be second only to The Fury's [[Flammenwerfer 41]] loaded with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide (i.e. ''rocket fuel'') from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'' in terms of odd flamethrower fuels, it does make some sense: as any bottle of non-industrial nail polish remover will tell you, acetone is highly flammable, and would make a more effective fuel than the gases commonly used in homemade flamethrowers, though its volatility and tendency to evaporate easily would limit its effective range and make it somewhat dangerous - not that an ordinary flamethrower is exactly OSHA-approved, mind you.]]

| ==M1A1 "Bazooka"==
| |
| Update #50 added the [[M1A1 Bazooka]] to ''H3'''s collection of explosive toys. Unfortunately, the reloading procedure is incorrectly simplified, with the rocket simply being shoved into the rear of the tube, without bothering to attach the wire to the electrical contacts at the rear of the launcher (which served to transfer electricity to, and ignite, the rocket's booster charge and motor).

| ==M79==
| |
| The [[M79 grenade launcher]] was one of the first weapons added to ''H3'', predating even the name; it, along with a few other weapons, was added to the early prototype stages of the game before it even received a proper name. In the 9th alpha of Update #52, the weapon got a new model and texture set, along with several new ammo types. These include 5 more-or-less normal rounds - an M381 high-explosive round, an M397 airburst round (which bounces off of whatever surface it hits and explodes in mid-air), an M576 buckshot round, an M781 inert practice round, and a CS gas grenade (which was added later, in the same update's 10th alpha) - and 4 more outlandish rounds (all of which have colorschemes and labels more reminiscent of novelty fireworks than of actual military ordnance). These are:
| |
| *The "X214 Steelbreaker", a high-velocity armor-piercing saboted round,
| |
| *The "X477 Cornerfrag", a low-yield fragmentation grenade that airbursts ''4 meters'' from the launcher's muzzle, intended for blindfiring around corners in close quarters (hence the name),
| |
| *The "X666 Baphomet", essentially a 40mm version of the Dragon's Breath round,
| |
| *and the later-released "X1776 Freedom Party", a 40mm flashbang that releases red, white, and blue confetti upon detonation.

| [[File:H3VR M79 Old Open.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Popping open the launcher. At full size, it can be seen that the for-some-reason-red rounds on the table have holes in the end of them; this shows that they're modeled after Airsoft 40mm rounds, which use these holes to send forth a shower of plastic BBs on impact.]]

| ==Milkor MGL==
| |
| Along with the [[M320]], Update #52's 10th alpha brought along a [[Milkor MGL]]; specifically, an MGL-140.

| ==Orion Flare Gun==
| |
| The [[Orion Flare Gun]] is available in-game, having been added in Update #15. While it is capable of firing 12 gauge shells in-game, doing so with any sort of high-pressure shell (i.e. anything other than flares, "Cannonball" rounds, Dragon's Breath shells, or "Freedomfetti" shells) will destroy the flare gun, rendering it useless. However, Update #17 added a fictional steel-framed version capable of handling high-pressure loads.

| | |
| ==RPzB 43/54 "Panzerschreck"==
| |
| Rounding out Update #50's collection of largely-WWII-centric weaponry is the [[Panzerschreck]]. Much like the [[M1A1 Bazooka]], reloading the weapon is a simpler process in-game than it is in reality; whereas in-game the rocket is simply stuffed into the tube and fired, in reality the rocket had to be properly lined up in the tube, and the user had to press down the pin on top of the contact box to allow electricity to be transferred to the rocket, thus allowing its ignition.

| ==RPG-7==
| |
| The 2016 Meatmas Update added 3 gifts on its 25th and final day, one of these being the game's first rocket launcher, the [[RPG-7]].
| |
| [[Image:Rpg-7-1-.jpg|thumb|none|450px|RPG-7 - 40mm]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Crate.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An RPG-7 and a crate full of rockets, found at the Sampler Platter's Dessert Table. It's a hard thing to find, too - you have to show up early, or else it'll all be taken by the 12:30 lunch rush.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Pointing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Yes, I ''get'' that it's not loaded, but that doesn't mean that this isn't the single stupidest thing you have ever done."]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Cocking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following this is a step that a great many games tend to forget: cocking the hammer. The RPG-7 uses a revolver-style spur hammer (albeit one that strikes directly upwards) to set off its rockets; since the trigger mechanism is single-action-only, the hammer must be cocked before every shot.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Aiming" the RPG. Well, at least there was an attempt.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and watching the rocket hit its mark. While it can't be shown here (for obvious reasons), one thing to note is the inclusion of a sound delay system for distant explosions - even at the back of this relatively small range, there is still a noticeable delay between seeing the round go off and hearing it, meant to simulate the difference between the speeds of light and sound. This feature, along with a great many others (including the Sampler Platter itself), was introduced in Update #52.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Loading Side.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amusingly, due to the way that ''H3'' defines loading (i.e. if a round intersects a certain trigger area, it is automatically loaded), simply slamming a rocket into the side of the RPG-7's main tube...]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR RPG-7 Loaded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...produces a loaded rocket launcher, presumably either meaning that the rockets are capable of teleportation, or that osmosis can be performed with far larger particles than scientists previously thought. IMFDB does not encourage the practice of slamming live rockets into things; doing so outside of a video game is highly unlikely to end well.]]

| |
| | |
| ==Sturmpistole==
| |
| The final grenade launcher added in the 10th alpha of Update #52 is the [[Sturmpistole]], a WW2-era German experiment in converting the [[Leuchtpistole]] flare gun into a grenade launcher.
| |
| [[File:Sturmpistole.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Sturmpistole - 26.65mm / 23mm]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With the release of Update #59's second alpha build, the bots' Glock was made into a new type of object - a so-called "Sosigun" (so named because the new enemy that wields them is known as the "Sosig").]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Their simplistic (yet somewhat surprisingly detailed) model reflects the simplistic nature of their use - the only thing that the player can do with one of these is to fire it until it runs dry, with actions like slide-racking and reloading being entirely impossible.

| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Pointing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still, in spite of this, there is at least one detail worth noting:]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Despite, again, being extremely simplistic models with only one possible point of interaction, these weapons still have reciprocating slides.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Counter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...or simply shoot the Sosig in the "face" with it.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Attacking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A paranoid Sosig firing its Glock at another's corpse. This was caused by a bug in Update #59's early alpha builds; spawning the Sosigs, enabling wander/fight behavior, and setting them to different IFFs with dead Sosigs already present would cause the live Sosigs to identify the dead ones as threats.]]

| |
| [[File:H3VR Glock Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following the eighth alpha build of Update #59, the Sosiguns were updated with new models and textures, generally making them look less like untextured raw models from early-mid 2000s third-person shooter games, and more like toys made of rubberized plastic, so as to better fit the aesthetic of the Sosigs themselves. This particular Glock is fitted with an equally-cartoonish suppressor, which does far more to muffle the gun's report than its size and muzzle flash would lead one to believe.]]

Note the ejection port; this contains a bolt that visibly reciprocates when the weapon is fired. Also note the object at the weapon's front end, which appears to be either a somewhat stretched-out front sight hood without an actual sight, or possibly (though less likelily) a Truglo-esque red-dot sight.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated MP5SD1, complete with ribbed handguard, non-solid front sight protector, and trigger guard.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Laser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pacification Squad Sosigs, added in Update #62 (AKA Module 2 of the Return of the Rotweiners gamemode) use suppressed weapons (both MP5SD1s and suppressed versions of other weapons) fitted with visible laser sights, as seen in this rather awkward bit of CQC. The lasers would seem to run contrary to the purpose of the suppressors (although it could be argued that the Zosigs would be more attracted to gunshots than to red laser beams); this is simply in the name of balance, as being caught off-guard by a Pacification Squad patrol would likely mean near-instant death.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Holding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The lasers seem to be activated by pressure switches (seeing as they're only active when being held), but yet neither pressure switches nor the actual lasers are visible on any of the weapons themselves; this MP5SD's laser apparently sees fit to instead just appear from the bottom of the handguard.]]
| |
| | |
| ==IMI Uzi==
| |
| The full-size variant of the [[Uzi]] was added to ''H3'' in the tenth alpha of Update #52, as an optional weapon for SWBs. According to its Sosigun spawn menu name, it's chambered in .45 ACP, an available (though less common) option.
| |
| [[File:H3VR Uzi Bot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An Uzi-wielding bot belatedly realizes that [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|he picked the wrong house]].]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Close.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a fair bit closer to an Uzi-wielding bot than is strictly advisable reveals the rather surprising level of detail it features: it has a charging handle, an ejection port, and even a modeled rear sight aperture, despite the fact that, as mentioned, nobody is meant to be getting this close to a bot for long enough to actually notice this. Meanwhile, one of the bot's incredibly bright tracers provides this shot with a bit more flair.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Dropped.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wounded and dazed, a Sosig drops its Uzi on the floor.]]
| |
| [[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Held.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stealing the Uzi, and putting the poor thing out of its misery.

| |
| [[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another part of this rebuild is the migration of enemy weapons over to the new tracer system, as demonstrated by this unwilling test subject. Note that, as with their [[MAC-11]]s, enemies' Uzis strangely fire from a closed bolt with a reciprocating charging handle; it's even stranger here than it is on the MAC, however, as the Uzi's charging handle doesn't reciprocate (a fact which, as the [[Micro Uzi]] above demonstrates, the developers were aware of).]]

| | |
| ==MAC-11==
| |
| Another Update #46 addition to the arsenals of SWBs is the [[MAC-11]].
| |
| [[File:H3VR MAC-11 Bot Targeted.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A hapless MAC-wielding Weinerbot ambles into an objective in Take & Hold mode, clearly unaware of what awaits.]]

| ==AKM==
| |
| As mentioned, the 10th alpha of Update #52 added the [[AKM]] to the arsenals of SWBs.

| |
| | |
| ==Colt Model 607==
| |
| The final weapon made available to the SWBs in Update #46 was most likely intended as a cartoonish [[M16A1]], with the resultant weapon resembling a [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Colt Model 607]].

That seems like a solid plan.]]

| ==Steyr Scout==
| |
| Update #52's 10th alpha gave SWBs the ability to use [[Steyr Scout]] rifles. They boast high damage, accuracy, and range, offset by their low fire rates and capacities.

| ==Unkown AR-15 Carbine==
| |
| The wooden hot dog soldier targets (yes, you read that right) seen in certain scenes are drawn with somewhat generic, hard-to-identify [[AR-15]]-pattern carbines. The item spawner's tutorial/example image for closed-bolt, magazine-fed firearms also features a simplistic-looking AR to illustrate the various controls involved in any such weapon's operation.

| =Grenades=
| |
| =="Cyber Grenade"==
| |
| Added concurrently with the stylized [[M67 hand grenade|M67]] below (i.e. before ''H3VR'' was ''H3VR''), the "Cyber Grenade" (or more properly, the "Hedron Munitions Variable Fuse Timing Grenade") is based loosely on the [[MK3 offensive hand grenade]] - more precisely, it is based on the MK3-based "M82" grenade from ''[[Half-Life 2]]''. As the name implies, its fuse is adjustable, with options for 2-, 3-, 5-, 8-, and 12-second fuses, each including appropriate gradually-quickening-and-pitch-sharpening booming of a speaker and blinking of a red LED.

| | |
| ==M18 Smoke Grenade==
| |
| Update #52's 10th alpha added the [[M18 smoke grenade]] to the game. There are two types available - a normal red one, and a (sadly) fictitious red, white, and blue one.
| |

Note that the cloud is just a bunch of opaque red spheres; the reasoning behind this stylistic approach is twofold: it helps ease the impact that these grenades have on a user's computer (especially when one considers that these grenades can be spawnlocked and thrown in limitless quantities hither, mither, and yonder), and it allows for more dynamic effects - the smoke in this game responds to the presence of objects and level geometry, expands and moves with respect to other smoke-spheres, and can be pushed around by explosions; they also release smoke gradually, rather than all at once as in most games, which allows the player to run around with a lit smoke grenade in each hand, leaving a trail of smoke behind them.]]

| |
| | |
| ==M67 Hand Grenade==
| |
| The [[M67 hand grenade]] is available in-game (being added in the game's earliest stages of development, prior to the game even having a name), referred to therein as the "M219 Greaseweasel Fragmentation Grenade". The Meatmas update added a special red-painted variant known as the "M25 Jingler"; this acts much the same as the standard version, but produces sounds of jingling bells when it detonates.
| |
| [[File:Baseball.jpg|thumb|none|300px|M67 fragmentation grenade]]

| [[File:H3VR M67.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And no, we weren't lying about the name. Note the rather [[M26 hand grenade|M26]]-like mid-body seam, contrasting with the grenade's M67-like shape. Well, it ''is'' a fictional model, after all...]]

| [[File:H3VR M67 Lever.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alternatively, should one desire, they can release the grenade's spoon without letting it go to burn the fuze down before throwing, a process known as "cooking". This is generally frowned upon in reality, for obvious reasons.]]

| |
| | |
| ==M84 Stun Grenade==
| |
| The final item added to the game in the 10th alpha of Update #52 is the [[M84 stun grenade]]. Of note is that ''H3'' correctly shows the M84's dual pins, something which very few pieces of media demonstrate.

| |
| [[File:H3VR M84 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M84 detonating. ''H3'' is noteworthy in that its flashbangs don't use the standard video game system for flashbangs wherein the explosion whites out the player's screen and fills their speakers with a tinnitus-like ringing; this is because, when using a VR headset, the M84's effects are significant enough to cause such an effect on players anyway. But of course, don't just take it from me...]]

| ==Mk. 2 Hand Grenade==
| |
| The first of three WW2-era grenades added in the 11th alpha build of Update #52 is the [[Mk 2 hand grenade]].

| ==Model 24 Stielhandgranate==
| |
| The second of these WWII-centric grenades is the [[Model 24 Stielhandgranate]].
