Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades/Rifles & Carbines: Difference between revisions
Weapons on this sub-page are a mixed bag in terms of in-game classification; they span across the in-game categories of carbines, bolt-actions, lever-actions, breech-loaders, and even pistols (in both the automatic and bolt-action subcategories). The Carbine category includes any pistol-caliber carbine or intermediate carbine, as well as full-length intermediate rifles that are not fully automatic (such as the SKS or sporting rifles).

==ArmaLite AR-180==
The final of the 4 [[AR-18]] variants added in Update #102's first experimental build was an [[ArmaLite AR-180]], the civilian semi-auto variant of the basic rifle.

(Also, AR-180s were out of production by the time capacity restrictions started cropping up, and any subsequent modern versions just took STANAGs anyway.)]]

==Armscor M1600==
Added in Update #98 as a belated April Fools' Day present, the [[M16#Armscor M16 22|Armscor M1600]] is available in two forms - the standard "M1600", and a modified version called the "M1600A3000", which features a collapsible wire stock, a full wrap-around handguard, an optics rail in place of the carrying handle, a shortened barrel, and a railed handguard.

==Bushmaster M17S==
The [[Bushmaster M17S]] was added on Day 13 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event. This is the first Australian firearm added to the game, and the first time the M17S has appeared in a video game.
[[File:H3VR M17S Box.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A box of Bushmasters, in a locale somewhat inconveniently devoid of any bushes to master.]]

[[File:H3VR M17S Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The manual of arms, however, is rather unique - the entire back section of the carrying handle serves as a (thankfully non-reciprocating) charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sights atop this charging handle are a simple, pistol-esque 3-dot setup - good for quick acquisition, if a bit obtrusive at longer ranges.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Being an intermediate-caliber bullpup with a substantial height-over-bore, firing while aiming down sights doesn't produce any particularly interesting screencaps, forcing site editors to resort to more... ''creative'' measures.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Upon emptying the rest of the magazine in a far less uncomfortable position, the gun locks open; while the magazine release is still in the same relative position as that of an AR, it is no longer hand-accessible, for relatively obvious reasons.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Railed Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Should you find the standard version insufficiently modern (or oversufficiently tall), the fictional "M17S Mod" might be the gun for you.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Railed Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aside from the rails, the main change is the complete removal of the carrying handle; since this served as the charging handle, an [[AR-15]]-type T-handle has been installed in its place.]]
[[File:H3VR M17S Railed Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Though, of course, the rails are a significant change in their own right.]]

==Colt AR-15 Sporter-1==
The [[Colt AR-15 Sporter-1]], the semi-auto-only civilian version of the [[M16]], was added in the full release of Update #107. Unusually, it is referred to in-game by its model designation of R6000 SP1.
[[File:H3VR R6000 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And what do we have here? An M16?]]
[[File:H3VR R6000 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alas, it is not; instead, we see a sight familiar to many an IMFDB editor who works on older movies - a slab-sided SP1, with no autosear pin.]]

[[File:H3VR R6000 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...though the larger one would ultimately prove plenty sufficient for this shot. There's not much of a way to indicate this in a screencap, so you'll just have to assume it's true. Can't replicate it yourself? Skill issue.]]

==Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine==
Alongside the AR-15 Sporter, the [[Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine]] was also added in Update #107's full release. It too is referred to by its factory model designation of "R6001 SP1".
[[File:H3VR R6001 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Heading out to the range, with one of those fancy new 16-inch AR carbines.]]

[[File:H3VR R6001 Extending.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Messing with the collapsible stock - all that modern tactical configurability people are talking about nowadays.]]
[[File:H3VR R6001 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a magazine - polymer-bodied, high-capacity, what's not to love? Even comes from that company people constantly talk about - "Bag-pull" or something.]]

[[File:H3VR R6001 Optic.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aha! That's right! Nowaday's, everyone's using those high-tech optical sights! No worries, just stick a rail on the carry handle, and it locks right into place.]]

==CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1==
On Day 16 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event, the game introduced a family of [[CZ Scorpion Evo 3]] firearms; among them was the semi-auto-only S1 variant (not to be confused with the S1 Carbine below).
[[File:Evo 3 S1.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And, in a most-definitely-pre-planned move, here's the Evo 3 S1. Totally coordinated this with the rest, as the background quite clearly indicates.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Unfolding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|That's also why the stock-folding is being shown here, rather than earlier in the section.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And why the resulting right-side shot is mostly blocked by said folded stock. Yep. This was definitely not an afterthought.]]

[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...shoving in a 20-round magazine...]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Slapping.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and quickly slapping some sights onto the upper rail. Let's just pretend those were there the whole time, okay?]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Disengaging the safety, and getting a good look at the main (i.e. pretty much only, outside of the markings) thing that distinguishes this from the regular Evo 3: the lack of any selector positions past semi-auto.

[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Speaking of, it seems that those sights might've been slapped on a bit too quickly.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shrugging and firing anyway; nice as the new spent case models are, with their proper headstamps, burnt mouths, and struck primers, they still serve as something of an unfortunate reminder of how long it took to remember to take these shots.]]

[[File:H3VR Evo S1 Removing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...prompting at least an attempt at a magazine-retention reload. Prior to the days of the mag-palming system, this was the best you could do - assuming you didn't mess it up and put the new mag on top of the old one, as seen here.]]
==CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine==
The final [[CZ Scorpion Evo 3]] variant added on Day 16 of the 2022 Meatmas Advent Calendar event was the S1 Carbine, the longer-barreled counterpart to the S1 above.
[[File:CZ Scorpion EVO 3 S1 Carbine Muzzle Brake.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine - 9x19mm Parabellum]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hope you haven't gotten tired of these things yet. If you have, well, you've only got 10 more image captions to get through.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Folding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Counting this one. But not that one. Which - ah, forget it, here's the stock doing the thing that it does.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This makes the gun substantially more usable, at the cost of making it harder to fit in frame. One of the perks of having long arms, I suppose.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Locking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Once more, same as before, locking back the charging handle...]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and being made sad by the actions of politicians.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Chambering.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Without the fun of a normal-capacity magazine, it's understandably rather hard to work up the enthusiasm for a proper slap - hence the gentler chambering seen here.]]

[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Swapping.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Needless to say, a lack of effect-on-target combined with the aforementioned undersized magazines quickly leads to this. Or rather, leads to the situation that demands this, that being an empty gun.]]
[[File:H3VR Evo S1C Releasing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|That, in turn, leads to a situation (a loaded gun with a locked-back bolt) that demands this (pushing the bolt release). And with that, the Scorpion Saga finally comes to an end.]]

==Desert Eagle Police Carbine==
Day 10 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event brought a large selection of new .50 caliber [[Desert Eagle]]s; the standout among them though was the extremely rare (and thus previously unportrayed) Desert Eagle Police Carbine. As the name suggests, it was marketed primarily towards law enforcement, though it never found much commercial success, if any. The in-game model is a fictional Mark XIX version of the carbine; the real carbine was only made in Mark I model.
[[File:DesertEaglePoliceCarbine.jpg|450px|thumb|none|Magnum Research Desert Eagle Police Carbine - .357 Magnum]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle New Box.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Hey, you remember this picture from a few sub-pages ago? No? Good, because otherwise there'd be no reason for me to put it here.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Anyway, here's the biggest thing from that box: a gun that, in a very technical sense, doesn't exist outside the context of this game.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 10-round magazine; while some such magazines exist, they're only for the .44 variants (and, by extension, any similar cartridge that'd fit into a .44 Magnum magazine), and they lack the polymer base, so these are (sadly) likewise a work of fiction.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Racking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Racking the slide - not something often done strong-handed, but then again, very little is done often with such a weapon as this.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Finally remembering to disengage the safety...]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Collapsing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and fiddling with the adjustable stock. Which, coincidentally, also doubles as the closest thing you're getting to an actual right-side shot. (Hey, in my defense, you're not missing much - the thing's about as close to symmetrical as a magazine-fed firearm can get).]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming at a distant crystal snowflake; the sights are about the same as the normal variants, though (like the other elongated Deagles) their relative widths don't account for the increased sight radius.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still, they get the job done.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Scope.jpg|thumb|none|600px|If you're not satisfied with that, why not try an optic? This particular scope (simply called the "Deagle Scope") was added when the new Deagles hit the main branch; while intended for the Desert Eagles (as the name would imply), it works quite nicely on most things.]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Reticle.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The reticle's a simple, fine crosshair, with just enough magnification for a carbine chambered for a round right at the top end of what could reasonably called a pistol cartridge. It definitely helps in allowing the Desert Eagle to achieve its fullest potential - the lofty heights of "somewhat practical".]]
[[File:H3VR Deagle Carbine Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Though, as anyone in a ban state can tell you, mags that top out at 10 rounds will always be a limiting factor in terms of practicality.]]
==Diana Model 27==
Added on Meatmas Day of 2022, a long-requested [[Air Rifle]] was added to the game; specifically, a spring-piston air rifle that appears to be a Diana Model 27.
[[File:Diana 27.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Diana Model 27 (post-WWII; Dembro-manufactured) - .177 pellet]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Box.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Opening up a gift box beneath the Meatmas tree to reveal... probably the most reasonable thing thing of the bunch to actually find in one of these, really. Perhaps barring the tiny milk-crate full of pellets.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a good look at the Diana.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|She's a nice-looking gal - very symmetrical features.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Opening.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Cracking open the pellet gun; unlike the game's other break-actions, this has to be done manually, as (aside from there being no locking lever within easy reach of the firing hand) the weight of the barrel isn't enough to overcome the tension of the piston's spring, requiring additional force to fully cock it.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a .177-caliber pellet; this is technically the smallest-caliber projectile the game has to offer, beating out the previously-tiniest 4.6x30mm HK round. The pellet itself is a typical diabolo-shaped design, which improves efficiency in ways that would probably require several semesters of fluid dynamics classes to explain or understand.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Closing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And, seeing as I have neither the motivation nor the Adderall necessary to go through with that, we'll just stuff it in and move on.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming at a wall; the sights aren't technically properly aligned here, but this at least gives a good idea of what they look like. And, with the drop on these pellets, actually hitting things at reasonably-long ranges will probably require aiming like this anyway.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Hit.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alternatively, you can just cheat and use bullet trails, as seen with this hit on one of the few things in the game fragile enough to be destroyed by a .177-caliber air rifle pellet.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With another being the casing of a nearby Sosig. At least it doesn't have any [[A Christmas Story|eyes]] to worry about.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Cooking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The aforementioned bullet trails also allow for a demonstration of a rather curious property of the pellets: being treated as "ammunition" in-game, they share the same basic properties as self-contained cartridges, right down to their ability to cook off in response to heat or impact, despite being little more than solid pieces of lead with no associated propellant. This behavior is also shared with other propellant-lacking projectiles, such as the earlier-added 50mm potatoes, or the later-added tungsten-rimmed armor-piercing potato chips. Yes, you read that right.]]
[[File:H3VR Meteor Modded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Of course, this being ''H3VR'', the pellet gun can take attachments. Its only means of doing so is via the muzzle; as such, an already-silly configuration can become even sillier upon attempting to load it. For the especially brave (or just impatient), a later update even added the ability to swing the gun shut with a flick of the wrist; with this much weight hanging off the end of the barrel, it's hard to imagine that being good for the barrel hinge or the user's arm.]]

==M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon==
Complementing the [[M4 Survival Rifle|M4]] above, the [[M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon]] was added on Meatmas Day 2022. It bears the distinction of being ''H3'''s first firearm to use two different cartridges; while some prior weapons have secondary barrels using different ammo types (e.g. the special "Sustenance" variant of the [[Heckler & Koch MP7A1|MP7A1]] and its integrated grenade launcher), these have always been treated by the game as separate, distinct firearms on one level or another - the two differently-chambered barrels of the M6 are attached to a common receiver.

==Remington Model 7615P Patrol Rifle==
The [[Remington_Model_760/7600_Rifle#Remington_7615P_Patrol_Rifle|Remington 7615P Patrol Rifle]] was added in the Meatmas 2023 update. This is the first pump-action rifle added to the game (barring the fictional MP5 Shadow), and its first known appearance in a videogame.
Update #75 added two variants of the Rossi Rio Grande lever-action rifle to ''H3'', both of which are chambered in .45-70; this fulfilled a long-standing community desire for a lever-action in the cartridge. Both are known in-game as the "Rio Big-Bore", with the non-suffixed version having synthetic furniture, a receiver-mounted scope rail (a Rossi factory option), and a custom lever, while the wood-furnished "Salvaged" variant is a "Mare's Leg"-esque configuration, with an extended lever loop (another factory option), and a shortened stock, barrel, and magazine tube.

==Ruger Mini-14==
The [[Ruger Mini-14]] was added on the full release of Update #104, in two variations - the fixed-stock "Classic", and the folding stocked "GB".
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Admiring the Mini-14 out in the Arizona desert.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|That would've been a joke about "the Ranch Rifle out on the ranch", but it'd be hard to farm anything other than dust out here.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rocking in a 5-round magazine; they don't offer much in terms of capacity, but they do fit flush against the bottom of the stock, so there's that at least.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Just barely beginning to pull the charging handle; the bolt correctly rotates to unlock before it begins moving backwards. As a note of trivia, this detail (or rather, the ignorance of it) is why some games' [[M14]] variants' bolts clip through the backs of their receivers - the animators incorrectly assume that the bolt travels the same distance as the charging handle (which is generally shown going as far back as it can), causing the bolt to travel past its actual stopping point.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Disengaging the safety; being (as the name would imply) more or less a scaled-down M14, it uses a similar safety lever located in the trigger guard. Just push it forward, and you're ready to go.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sights are likewise similar - a receiver-mounted aperture, and a simple front post on the end of the barrel (albeit without the M14's protective wings).]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Shattering a glass bottle. This may well be one of the last times this particular bottle is ever broken - it was replaced in an update just after the Mini-14's addition.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Needless to say, those 5 rounds don't last terribly long.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14 Reloading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Performing a quick reload with a fresh 10-rounder; the motivation here is less "tactical mag retention" and more "not wanting to wash dirt out of a dropped magazine". The markings on the side of the receiver were [https://www.artstation.com/artwork/5BO3W1 originally completely accurate], but the Ruger logo and "STURM, RUGER & CO., INC" marking were removed for ''H3'''s version, so they now rather unhelpfully say "BEFORE USING GUN - READ WARNINGS IN / ''INSTRUCTION MANUAL'' - AVAILABLE FREE FROM / (blank space) / SOUTHPORT, CONN. U.S.A.".]]

[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Unfolding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unfolding the stock...]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Buttplate.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and then unfolding it some more - the Mini-14's buttplate is treated as a separate component, and has to be folded/unfolded independently of the stock itself.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Rather dramatically rocking in a 30-round magazine - even if capacity restrictions were a concern in Arizona, civilization (and thus the law) is miles away and asleep, so all bets are off.]]

[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Needless to say, these make a fun target. The dramatic horizontal muzzle blast from the attached "StratBomber" muzzle brake (the brake from the [[ArmaLite AR-50|AR-50A1]]) is a nice added bonus.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Disengaging the safety - given that the intended activity here is shooting hairspray cans (launched from the concurrently-added Thing Flinger, which can launch more or less anything) out of the air with 5.56mm tracer rounds, it's safe to say that safety as a concept has been pretty much disengaged all around.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This is a shot of the rifle locked open. There would've been an awesome glamor shot of a Mini-14 spitting cases and tracers into the night under the light of multi-colored glowsticks as cans of hairspray exploded mid-air, but unfortunately, the desktop view (i.e. what actually got recorded) doesn't line up with what the user sees vertically, so all that colorful, fiery glory got wasted off the top edge of the screen. And I will never not be resentful about that.]]
[[File:H3VR Mini-14F Launching.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Anyway, remember how the Thing Flinger can launch more or less anything? Yeah, that includes guns. Probably not a great idea, though, unless you're willing to [[A-Team, The (TV Series)|go to prison for a crime you absolutely did commit]].]]

==Savage 99==
The [[Savage 99]] in .308 Winchester was added on Day 14 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event. This is the first time that the Savage 99 has appeared in a videogame.
[[File:H3VR S99 Box.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Savage in its box, displaying a highly civilized level of concern for clarity regarding manufacture dates.]]

[[File:H3VR S99 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...since, unlike most of its lever-action contemporaries, the Savage 99 uses a completely different magazine system - a rotary box magazine, fixed into the receiver. This gave it the unique advantage of being able to chamber spitzer-pointed cartridges, including the much-later-offered .308 Winchester.]]
[[File:H3VR S99 Counter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|It also allowed for the addition of a convenient little round counter on the side of the receiver; this is directly connected to the central magazine rotor, functioning a bit like those rotary number counters on distance-measuring wheels and old odometers and whatnot.]]
[[File:H3VR S99 Chambering.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Of note is that this technically only counts how many rounds remain in the ''magazine'', not the number in the gun; as such, chambering the first round immediately takes it back down from 5 to 4.]]

==Thompson Carbine==
==Thompson Light Rifle==
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}}.

==Winchester Model 1892 "Mare's Leg"==
A "Mare's Leg" configuration of the [[Winchester Model 1892]] was added on Day 3 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event.
[[File:H3VR 1892 Box.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The cut-down levergun in its box; it is referred to simply as the "Mares <sic> Leg" here, though the production date gives its actual model number. Ah, the simple times, when those two things were one and the same...]]

[[File:H3VR 1892 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Or rather, it was cut down from one, unless someone decided to put hunting-style engravings on a cut-down pseudo-sidearm. Which, given that someone decided to put a seemingly-random metal bar into the trigger guard, could be the case - this bar serves no clear purpose, though it could conceivably be a screw-in trigger pin (a modification which, when screwed in far enough, pulls the rifle's trigger every time the action is closed, removing the need to actually fire each shot manually) that isn't screwed into its auto-firing position.]]

[[File:H3VR 1892 Chambering.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and then the bolt itself moves back. This system, originally used on the [[Winchester Model 1886]], was devised by John Moses Browning to address the inadequate locking strength of the simple toggle-joint systems used in prior Winchesters, allowing for more powerful cartridges to be used.]]
[[File:H3VR 1892 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming at a lamppost, in the hopes of forcing it to explain why its light is always on in broad daylight; while it would make sense for a cut-down rifle to have only one of its iron sights left, the fact that the front sight is the one still present is about two paces short of baffling - the portion of the barrel that's been cut away doesn't include the rear sight, so this modification would require either that the front sight be reinstalled on the new end of the barrel and the rear sight deliberately removed, or that the front end of the barrel be re-tooled to include receiver threads and a new chamber (a far more in-depth modification than simply retaining the back end of the barrel and re-crowning the new front - or simply re-mounting the rear sight, for that matter).]]
[[File:H3VR 1892 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The practical upshot of all this sight-related tomfoolery is that the 1892 is incredibly difficult to actually aim; the fact that the hammer comes up after every shot and blocks the sight picture doesn't help, though this is the case for full-length variants as well (deliberately, to prevent any attempts at lining up a shot when the gun isn't actually ready to fire).]]
[[File:H3VR 1892 Attacking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Then again, it's not like a Mare's Leg is really meant for long-range precision work, anyway. This seems a fair bit more appropriate.]]

[[Category:Subpages of Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades]]
Weapons on this sub-page are a mixed bag in terms of in-game classification; they span across the in-game categories of carbines, bolt-actions, lever-actions, breech-loaders, and even pistols (in both the automatic and bolt-action subcategories). The Carbine category includes any pistol-caliber carbine or intermediate carbine, as well as full-length intermediate rifles that are not fully automatic (such as the SKS or sporting rifles).
ArmaLite AR-180
The final of the 4 AR-18 variants added in Update #102's first experimental build was an ArmaLite AR-180, the civilian semi-auto variant of the basic rifle.
Armscor M1600
Added in Update #98 as a belated April Fools' Day present, the Armscor M1600 is available in two forms - the standard "M1600", and a modified version called the "M1600A3000", which features a collapsible wire stock, a full wrap-around handguard, an optics rail in place of the carrying handle, a shortened barrel, and a railed handguard.
Bendix-Hyde 2nd Model Light Rifle
The second version of the Bendix-Hyde Light Rifle, a prototype carbine 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 Px4 Storm added in the same update, as well as the M9A1 added earlier and the Mx4 Storm added later.
Berthier Model 1916 Carbine
The Berthier Mle 1916 was added on day 8 of the Meatmas 2020 Advent Calendar event. It is the game's second bolt-action rifle to use en-bloc clips, and its second rifle chambered in 8x50mmR Lebel.
Brown Bess Flintlock Musket
The Brown Bess Flintlock Musket was added on Meatmas Day 2020. It is the second flintlock firearm added to the game and the first flintlock long arm.
Brügger & Thomet APC45 Carbine
Update #61 added a pair of 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.
Brügger & Thomet APC9-P
To compliment the APC45, Update #61 added Brügger & Thomet APC9-P semi-auto carbine, a longer-barreled variant of the APC9.
Bushmaster ACR
Added in Update #58, the Bushmaster ACR is, unusually for a video game, correctly treated as a civilian semi-auto carbine, rather than the select-fire assault rifle that most games depict it as.
Bushmaster M17S
The Bushmaster M17S was added on Day 13 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event. This is the first Australian firearm added to the game, and the first time the M17S has appeared in a video game.
Carcano M91
On the ninth day of the 2018 Meatmas event, a Carcano M91 was added. It is (understandably) the first weapon in the game to use the 6.5x52mm Carcano round, and only the second to use en-bloc clips (the first being the earlier-added M1 Garand, which uses a slightly different system).
Colt AR-15 Sporter-1
The Colt AR-15 Sporter-1, the semi-auto-only civilian version of the M16, was added in the full release of Update #107. Unusually, it is referred to in-game by its model designation of R6000 SP1.
Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine
Alongside the AR-15 Sporter, the Colt AR-15 Sporter Carbine was also added in Update #107's full release. It too is referred to by its factory model designation of "R6001 SP1".
CMMG MkGs Banshee
Added in the 4th alpha build of Update #70, the "Phantom 9" pistol-caliber carbine is a CMMG MkGs Banshee in 9x19mm.
Custom AR-15
Update #59's eighth 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 (though still classified as a carbine, lacking a better category), known as the "Bubba-15".
"Bubba-15"
CZ 858
The last of Update #59's Sa vz. 58 variants was a synthetic-stocked CZ 858 civilian sporter carbine.
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1
On Day 16 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event, the game introduced a family of CZ Scorpion Evo 3 firearms; among them was the semi-auto-only S1 variant (not to be confused with the S1 Carbine below).
CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 Carbine
The final CZ Scorpion Evo 3 variant added on Day 16 of the 2022 Meatmas Advent Calendar event was the S1 Carbine, the longer-barreled counterpart to the S1 above.
De Lisle Carbine
Update #76's first alpha added the De Lisle Carbine, an integrally-suppressed Lee-Enfield derivative chambered in .45 ACP, intended for use by British special operatives during the Second World War. Despite the name, it is categorized with the bolt-actions rather than the carbines in-game, on the basis of its action.
Desert Eagle Police Carbine
Day 10 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event brought a large selection of new .50 caliber Desert Eagles; the standout among them though was the extremely rare (and thus previously unportrayed) Desert Eagle Police Carbine. As the name suggests, it was marketed primarily towards law enforcement, though it never found much commercial success, if any. The in-game model is a fictional Mark XIX version of the carbine; the real carbine was only made in Mark I model.
Diana Model 27
Added on Meatmas Day of 2022, a long-requested Air Rifle was added to the game; specifically, a spring-piston air rifle that appears to be a Diana Model 27.
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; the game also classifies it as such) based on Ares' traditionally-stocked SCR lower, makes its media debut in H3's 58th update.
Girardoni Air Rifle
The Girardoni Air Rifle was added in the Meatmas 2023 update. This is its first known media appearance; the game accurately simulates not only its manual of arms, but also the refilling process for the air reservoir.
Heckler & Koch MP5SFA2
Interestingly, Update #63's collection of Heckler & Koch MP5 variants included the MP5SFA2, a variant of the MP5A2 with a 2-position safe-semi fire selector, developed as a pistol-caliber carbine for police use.
Heckler & Koch MP5SFA3
Complimenting the MP5SFA2, the MP5SFA3 (a semi-auto carbine version of the Heckler & Koch MP5A3) was also added in Update #63.
Henry 1860
The Henry 1860 was added on day 10 of the Meatmas 2020 Advent Calendar event.
KRISS Vector CRB
The KRISS Vector CRB, a long-barreled civilian carbine variant of the full-auto Vector, was added at an unclear point (presumably post-Update #53, since that was when the long-barreled full-auto Vector was removed from the game); it cannot be attained normally, instead showing up in Take & Hold as a rare drop when playing as Ricky Dicky Random, or as a slightly less rare drop from 3-point pistol-caliber carbine rolls when playing as Zombiehunter Zeke. Like the older version, it is a Gen I Vector, but fitted with the barrel shroud of a Gen II Vector CRB Enhanced, along with an AR stock adapter to which a Magpul MOE fixed carbine stock is attached.
Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I
The Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I, the standard rifle of the British Army and the armies of the Commonwealth during the Second World War, was added to H3 in Update #52. Update #76's first alpha build included, among other things, a bayonet for the rifle, an attachable scope, the ability to remove and replace the rifle's magazine (correct, though as they were only issued with one magazine there was little point in doing so in the field), and a fixed wooden cheekrest, the latter of which effectively turned the rifle into the No. 4 Mk.I (T) variant. It also included two other versions: a sawn-off variant (a la the "Obrez", though some earlier Mk.III SMLE rifles were sawn off in a similar manner for trench fighting during WWI), and a variant with a leather cheekrest/cartridge holder, a shortened barrel, and a positively enormous integrated suppressor; being an invention of the Enfields' modeler, the Swedish 3D artist Stefan Engdahl, the latter is referred to as the "Swede Mod".

Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk I "Jungle Carbine"
Along with the aforementioned variants, the 1st alpha of Update #76 added a Lee-Enfield No. 5 Mk I "Jungle Carbine"; like the De Lisle Carbine, its action takes priority over its length, and it is thus classified as a bolt-action rifle rather than a carbine.
Luger 1902 Carbine
The last of the 3 Update #52 Luger variants is a rare full-stocked carbine. The in-game model lacks the real Carbine's grip safety.
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.
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.
M4 Survival Rifle
The M4 Survival Rifle was added on day 5 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event. This marks its first known appearance in media.
M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon
Complementing the M4 above, the M6 Aircrew Survival Weapon was added on Meatmas Day 2022. It bears the distinction of being H3's first firearm to use two different cartridges; while some prior weapons have secondary barrels using different ammo types (e.g. the special "Sustenance" variant of the MP7A1 and its integrated grenade launcher), these have always been treated by the game as separate, distinct firearms on one level or another - the two differently-chambered barrels of the M6 are attached to a common receiver.
M1903 Springfield
Update #52's 10th alpha build added a transitional-variant M1903 Springfield rifle to H3.
The release of Update #76's first alpha replaced the aforementioned transitional M1903 with a later M1903A1 Springfield, complete with an attachable Unertl scope.
Martini-Henry Mk. II
Another gift from the 2019 Meatmas update was a Martini-Henry rifle (more specifically, a Mk. II variant), a long-requested addition. It is categorized as a lever-action rifle in-game, owing to its lever-operated falling block mechanism; this makes it the first rifle in the category to not be magazine-fed.
Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr
The Mauser 1918 T-Gewehr was added on day 12 of the Meatmas 2020 Advent Calendar event in Update #99. It is the first classic anti-tank rifle added to the game (i.e. predating modern anti-materiel rifles like the Barrett M82, and having been intended for use against actual tanks); it is also the game's oldest anti-materiel rifle, and will remain so, seeing as it was the first purpose-made anti-materiel rifle ever created.
Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz
Update #52 brought along a Karabiner 98k, furthering the game's collection of World War II-themed weaponry.
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 hybidized with attributes of a slab-sided Mauser C96 Carbinelisted on iCollector in 2011; the in-game weapon is chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser rather than the correct 9x19mm Parabellum, has a slab-sided receiver, a standard C96 trigger, and a standard C96 slide. The in-game weapon also has a greatly extended barrel, which is seen on some C96 Carbines (though not the slab-sided one).
It seems likely that the weapon model was originally a C96 Carbine model modeled after the 2011 slab-sided C96 Carbine, before being modified and repurposed to have M1917 Trench Carbine traits.
Mosin-Nagant M1891
The first alpha build of Update #76 brough along some new Mosin-Nagant variants, one of which being an original M1891 long rifle.
Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine
First seen in the Alpha 1 build of Update #52, the Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine is available for use in H3; like the later-added Lee-Enfields, it is categorized as a bolt-action rifle, not a carbine. Amusingly enough, it is found near the trashcans in the Friendly45 scene, referencing one of the Mosin's unflattering nicknames, The Garbage Rod.
Mosin-Nagant M91/30
The other Mosin variant added in Update #76's first alpha build was a Mosin-Nagant M91/30 configured as a sniper rifle, with a downturned bolt handle and a side-mounted dovetail rail for an also-added PU scope.
Mosin Mini
Added in Update #95, the Mosin Mini is a version of the Mosin M91/30 chambered in .22 LR. It is the first bolt-action firearm chambered in .22LR. The Mosin Mini is one of the three "Cursed Guns" from the update that is based on a real-world firearm; its not uncommon for militaries to provide .22LR versions of service rifles for training purposes, though this particular rifle was made for the sporting market.
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. Being a weapon meant to pad insufficient supplies of proper pistols among various underground groups, the Obrez is classified as one in-game.
Quackenbush 1886
Update #56, AKA the 2018 4th of July Update, included an 1886 Quackenbush "Bicycle Pump" single-shot .22 carbine. 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 7615P Patrol Rifle
The Remington 7615P Patrol Rifle was added in the Meatmas 2023 update. This is the first pump-action rifle added to the game (barring the fictional MP5 Shadow), and its first known appearance in a videogame.
Remington Rolling Block
Update #91 added two variants of the Remington Rolling Block; the first is a standard-pattern commercial carbine chambered in 8x50mmR Lebel (the first weapon in the game to use the round), and the second is the rare No. 1 "Creedmoor" sharpshooter pattern, equipped with an aperture sight and chambered in .45-70 Government. The two rifles are the first in a new sub-category (breech-loading rifles); by and large, they're functionally identical to the earlier-added Rolling Block pistol. With Update #94, mechanical accuracy for firearms was implemented, and the Creedmoor's ladder sights could be now zeroed to multiple ranges; between this and its superior accuracy to the standard Rolling Block rifle, the Creedmoor stands out as the better option for long-range shooting.
Remington No. 1 Rolling Block "Creedmoor"
Rossi Rio Grande
Update #75 added two variants of the Rossi Rio Grande lever-action rifle to H3, both of which are chambered in .45-70; this fulfilled a long-standing community desire for a lever-action in the cartridge. Both are known in-game as the "Rio Big-Bore", with the non-suffixed version having synthetic furniture, a receiver-mounted scope rail (a Rossi factory option), and a custom lever, while the wood-furnished "Salvaged" variant is a "Mare's Leg"-esque configuration, with an extended lever loop (another factory option), and a shortened stock, barrel, and magazine tube.
Salvaged
Ruger 10/22
Update #56 (released July 4, 2018) added a synthetic-stocked Ruger 10/22 carbine. 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. Update #105's 2nd experimental build replaced the model with two - a standard wood-furnished model (with an attachable scope mount), and a "Sport" model with more or less every factory component replaced with an aftermarket one.
Ruger American Rimfire
A .22 LR-chambered Ruger American Rimfire was added in the second day of Meatmas 2022's Advent calendar.
Ruger Mini-14
The Ruger Mini-14 was added on the full release of Update #104, in two variations - the fixed-stock "Classic", and the folding stocked "GB".
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, classified in-game as a bolt-action pistol.
Savage 99
The Savage 99 in .308 Winchester was added on Day 14 of the Meatmas 2022 Advent Calendar event. This is the first time that the Savage 99 has appeared in a videogame.
Sharps 1874 Long Range
The Sharps 1874 Long Range was added on day 6 of the Meatmas 2020 Advent Calendar event, chambered in the proprietary .45-110 Sharps cartridge.
SKS
The SKS is one of the available carbines 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; the addition of bayonets in the 1st alpha build of Update #76 gave the latter variant its integrated folding bayonet, bringing yet further applause.
Classic
Thompson Light Rifle
The Thompson Light Rifle, 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 10 lbs (4.5 kg), compared to the stated maximum of 5 lbs (2.3 kg).
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 1892 "Mare's Leg"
A "Mare's Leg" configuration of the Winchester Model 1892 was added on Day 3 of the Meatmas 2022 advent calendar event.
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).
