The Operative: No One Lives Forever (2000)

The following weapons appear in the game The Operative: No One Lives Forever:

Handguns

Luger P08

The Luger P08 appears in the game as the "Braun 9mm Parabellum." It is chambered for 9x19mm ammunition, has an incorrect 10-round magazine capacity (as opposed to the correct 8), and is the preferred weapon of many H.A.R.M. operatives in the later chapters. Like the Walther P38, it can be fitted with a silencer, but it is slightly louder (even when suppressed), has a lower rate of fire, and takes a bit longer to reload. On the other hand, it can use FMJ, Dum-Dum, incendiary, and cyanide-tipped ammunition, the last of which the Walther P38 cannot use.

 == Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight ==
-The [[Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight]] appears in the game as the '''Petri .38 Airweight Revolver'''. It is described as Cate's signature weapon, though the P38 is inevitably used more often. The Petri can chamber all five of the ammunition types in the game. Being a revolver, it cannot be fitted with a sound suppressor.
+The [[Smith & Wesson Model 37 Airweight]] appears in the game as the "Petri .38 Airweight Revolver," with a nickel finish. This snubnosed revolver is chambered for .38 Special ammunition, has a five-shot cylinder capacity, and can fire FMJ, Dum-Dum, incendiary, cyanide-tipped, and High-Explosive bullets. It is described as Cate's signature weapon, but many low-level HARM thugs use it as well.  Being a revolver, it cannot be fitted with a sound suppressor. Despite the very short barrel, this "purse gun" boasts a higher damage-per-bullet ratio ingame than the 9x19mm handguns have, especially when loaded with FMJ or cyanide-tipped ammunition, as the former needs fewer hits than the 9x19mm handguns do to kill an opponent, and the latter has a good chance of killing an opponent outright in one hit.

-== Luger P08 ==
+== Thompson Contender ==
-The [[Luger P08]] appears in the game as the '''Braun 9mm Parabellum'''. It is the preferred weapon of many H.A.R.M. operatives in the later chapters, and is very similar to the P38 in terms of functionality. Like the P38, it can be fitted with a silencer, but it is slightly louder (even when suppressed), has a lower rate of fire and takes a bit longer to reload. On the other hand, it can chamber cyanide-tipped ammunition whereas the P38 cannot.
+The [[Thompson Center Arms Contender|Thompson Contender]] appears in the game as the ''Bacalov Corrector''. The ingame version is a fictional variant that fires High Explosive bullets of unknown caliber, and is a single-shot break-open breach-loading weapon. A scope can be fitted, albeit one that has only a single level of zoom.

+== Walther P38 ==
+The [[Walther P38]] appears in the game as the '''Shepherd Arms P38 9mm pistol'''. It is the standard sidearm for UNITY operatives, and is used by at least a few bad guys in almost every level. It has an incorrect magazine capacity of 10 rounds (actual P38 magazines hold only 8), and can chamber FMJ, Dum-Dum and phosphorous ammunition. It can also be fitted with a sound suppressor.

+[[Image:NOLF1_-_PC_-_FPV_-_Walther_P38.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A suppressed P38 in first-person. Note the incorrect uncocked hammer; while the P38 can fire in double-action, after firing a single shot, the hammer should logically remain cocked until it is manually de-cocked.]]

+== Sterling SMG ==
-<br clear=all>
+The [[Sterling SMG]] appears in the game as the ''Gordon 9mm SMG''. It is chambered for 9x19mm, has an incorrect 30-round magazine capacity (the real weapon's magazines held 34 rounds), can use FMJ, Dum-Dum, incendiary, and cyanide-tipped ammunition. HARM's henchmen also use it frequently in the later levels. Unlike the [[Walther MPL]], the Sterling SMG cannot mount a sound suppressor. For some reason, the ingame version has a large cross-shaped muzzle flash, despite the barrel having no visible flash suppressor.

-== De Lisle Carbine ==
+[[Image:NOLF1_-_PC_-_FPV_-_Sterling_SMG.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the Sterling SMG in first-person. It is a sad fact that "larger muzzle flashes" usually translates to "better power" among many uninformed viewers, when the truth is not quite as simple.]]
-The [[De Lisle Carbine]] appears in the game as the '''Hampton Carbine'''. It features a 10 round magazine and can be fitted with a scope. It's the quietest firearm in the game, making it very useful if one wants to be sneaky and take down guards from a distance without being noticed. In the chapter 'Misfortune in Morrocco', Cate uses one of these to protect a U.S. ambassador from assassins.

 == Walther MPL ==
-The [[Walther_MP_series#Walther_MPL|Walther MPL]] appears in the game as the '''Hampton MPL 9mm SMG'''. It is fairly powerful, has a high rate of fire and a 30 round magazine capacity. It is UNITY's preferred SMG and is often used by its operatives on missions that call for increased firepower. Many H.A.R.M. henchmen also use it, particularly in the early chapters. It can be fitted with a silencer.
+The [[Walther_MP_series#Walther_MPL|Walther MPL]] appears in the game, referred to as the "Hampton MPL 9mm SMG." The ingame version has a 30 round magazine capacity (as opposed to the real weapon's 32-round capacity), is chambered in 9x19mm, has no buttstock, and has the ability to mount a sound suppressor. It can use FMJ, Dum-Dum, and incendiary ammunition.
+A few factions in the game use the Walther MPL as their standard SMG, including UNITY's commandos and Magnus Armstrong's paratroopers. Many H.A.R.M. henchmen also use it, particularly in the early chapters.

-== Sterling SMG ==
-The [[Sterling SMG]] appears in the game as the '''Gordon 9mm SMG'''. It is H.A.R.M.'s preferred SMG. It has a higher rate of fire than the MPL and supports cyanide-tipped ammunition whereas the MPL does not. On the other hand, it cannot be fitted with a silencer.

+=Rifles/Carbines=
+== AKM ==
+Referred to as the AK-47, the [[AK-47|AKM]] appears in the game. Note the ribbing on the receiver. It is the most powerful automatic weapon in the game and is used by most of the East German STASI guards in the chapter "Berlin By Night," and also by many HARM henchmen in the later chapters. Chambered for 7.62x39mm ammunition, this assault rifle has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds, can use FMJ and incendiary ammunition, and can be fitted with a scope that has two levels of zoom.

-== AK-47 ==
-The [[AK-47]] appears in the game and, unlike the others, is referred to by its real name. It is the most powerful automatic weapon in the game and is used by most of the East German guards in the chapter 'Berlin By Night', and also by many H.A.R.M. henchmen in the later chapters. It can be fitted with a scope.

+== De Lisle Carbine ==
+The [[De Lisle Carbine]] appears in the game as the "Hampton Carbine." This pistol-caliber carbine uses .45 ACP FMJ ammo, has a 10-round magazine capacity (the real weapon's magazines held either 7 or 11 rounds), features an integral suppressor, and can be fitted with a scope that possesses two levels of magnification. Given the lack of ballistic physics for bullets in this game, the short effective range of this weapon in real life is not present ingame, and as such it makes for a very effective ersatz sniper rifle, the only disadvantage being the rarity of its ammunition. Due to a developer oversight, the ingame De Lisle Carbine is shown to eject spent shell casings when it is fired, when in real life it would only eject a shell casing once the bolt action was operated.

 == SVD Dragunov ==
-The [[SVD Dragunov]] appears in the game as '''Geldmacher SVD Sniper Rifle'''. It is one of the most powerful weapons and is used by Dimitri Volkov to shoot Bruno Lawrie in the chapter 'Misfortune in Morrocco'. Later, it is used by H.A.R.M. snipers in some of the outdoor levels, and by two of the three female 'Elite Guards' towards the end of the game. It can chamber FMJ and phosphorous ammunition, and an upgraded scope featuring night vision can be found.
+The [[SVD Dragunov]] appears in the game as the "Geldmacher SVD Sniper Rifle." It is chambered for .308 caliber ammunition (which would only really be correct for the export model of the Chinese variant, the [[NDM-86]], and is one of the most potent sniper rifles in the game, with an exclusive three levels of zoom on its scope. It can use FMJ and incendiary ammunition, and an upgraded scope featuring night vision can be fitted.

-==[[Barnett Commando Crossbow]]==
-The [[Barnett Commando Crossbow]] appears in the game as the '''Sportsman EX Crossbow'''. It is a good alternative to the somewhat rare Hampton Carbine (it's not always available in the gear selection), and supports a variety of bolt types (fire, poison and explosive, for example), some of which can often be retrieved from dead enemies and reused. It can be fitted with a scope.

 == M79 Grenade Launcher ==
-The [[M79 grenade launcher]] appears in the game referred to by its actual name. It is a fairly rare weapon, first found on a guard in a tower in the chapter 'Rescue Attempt'. The grenades it launches follow a very straight trajectory, making the weapon seem more like a rocket launcher.
