==List of firearms used by Salvadoran Armed Forces (Complete... For Now)== | ==List of firearms used by Salvadoran Armed Forces (Complete... For Now)== | ||
=== Overview === | |||
Throughout its history, the Salvadoran army used a large number of weapons in an eclectic attempt to improve its external and internal defense capabilities, the army and police were in a semi-deplorable state, it was after the Salvadoran civil war, the army and police were equipped with new weaponry, but due to the corruption of past governments in the 2000s, this was either directly or indirectly sabotaged (the violent gangs did not help either), it was not until the 2019 presidential elections that the army and police received a much needed (and ongoing) re-armament, re-equipment and re-organization. | |||
'''DISCLAIMER:''' This article is meant to be a comprehensive list and suppementary information regarding Fireams in service by the Armed forces of El Salvador as well as firearms that have been since phased out of service, NOT an Additional List of firearms page, as per IMFDB Rules, Standars and Principles, forbades to do so (check [[Category_talk:Lists_of_weapons_by_armed_forces|this page]] for more infomation).

||WM1200|| | |||
* The [[Winchester Model 1200]] appears only in the bonus Mission "Museum". | |||
* The model in-game (which was ported from COD4) has an ATI Shotgun Standard Forend on the manual pump, an ATI Classic Heatshield, including Sights, Speedfeed pistol grip stock and the sights are incorrectly mounted on the receiver instead of the Heatshield. | |||
* In the Trailer of Modern Warfare 2, the F.S.B. used the WM1200 as their main pump-action shotgun, as a placeholder that was changed with the very incorrect SPAS-12. | |||
* The WM1200 was ported from Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. | |||
* Strangely enough, in the Polish release of Modern Warfare 2, the WM1200 does appears in the campaign used by the Brazilian Militia and Inner Circle Ultranationalists, this is obviously incorrect and innapropiate. | |||

*: U.S. Army Rangers | |||
*: U.S. Navy SEALs | |||
* In multiplayer, it is incorrectly depicted as a rocket launcher (...kind of), able to be reloaded and having a heat-seeking function (the "AT4-HS" possibly stands for Heat Seeking), as it's is able to lock on into aircraft, the AT4 in real life is a man-portable recoiless rifle and cannot lock into aircraft. | |||

*: U.S. Army Rangers | |||
*: VDV Airborne Troops | |||
* In multiplayer, it can incorrectly lock onto any area on the ground. | |||
* Incorrectly depicted as a one man reloadable launcher, it requires two persons to reload and operate the Javelin in less than 20 seconds. | |||

*: U.S. Army Rangers | |||
*: VDV Airbone Troops | |||
* Model in-game lacks the IFF (Identificator Frienly Foe) folding antenna on the right side of the weapon. | |||
* The Stinger is not appropiately set up by the character, you have to place the BCU (Battery Coolant Unit) cartridge into the weapon to fire, which the battery only has 45 seconds of coolant and power, then wait between 3-5 seconds in order to fire the Stinger, the missile is also incorrectly depicted as seeking it's target as soon the missile leaves the tube, instead of flying in a straight line for 660 feet before tracking it's aerial target. | |||

List of firearms used by Salvadoran Armed Forces (Complete... For Now)
Overview
Throughout its history, the Salvadoran army used a large number of weapons in an eclectic attempt to improve its external and internal defense capabilities, the army and police were in a semi-deplorable state, it was after the Salvadoran civil war, the army and police were equipped with new weaponry, but due to the corruption of past governments in the 2000s, this was either directly or indirectly sabotaged (the violent gangs did not help either), it was not until the 2019 presidential elections that the army and police received a much needed (and ongoing) re-armament, re-equipment and re-organization.

Weapon Inaccuracies in COD4 (2007)
Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the first entry on the original Modern Marfare universe, the campaign was amazing (albeit nonsencical), multiplayer was, at the time of release, innovative, fun and enjoyable. Although there were a few exploits, bugs and glitches, other than that, it was fun.
Unfortunately, when it came to weapon variety and military accuracy... this is when the Call of Duty franchise began to fell apart.
To be fair, Infinity Ward, at the time of development of the game (2007), didn't have too much to work when designing the weapons for the game, most of the guns provided were airsoft replicas, which is understanable, as IW was unable to get real, genuine firearms for modeling and i thought "Hey, maybe someday they will fix the game in the future"... I couldn't have chosen a POOR choice of words...
Came 2016... and the Remaster of COD4 was released, bundled with that massive, planet-sized disaster that was Infinite Warfare... lets just say i don't want to talk about it.
Anyway, this list will include what weapon is in the game, what is right and wrong, and suggest better choices for like... five factions in the game, this should be easy, LET'S GET INTO IT :)
LIST STATUS: COMPLETE.

Closing Statement
And there you go guys, the first of mamy list of Weapon Inaccuracies focusing in COD, with many more to come, to be honest, this wasn't that dificult to make after all.
However, as i previously mentioned above, this is the game where weapon variety and military accuracy fell appart, while not as bad as BO1 or MW2, it is still a problem, fortunately, COD4 can be modded to be more or completely realistic (when it comes to weapon choices for the factions in the campaign), but the chances that a "Accurate Faction Weapons" mod is made by the COD4 modding community are slim, at the time of writing.
Anyway, this concludes the Weapon Inaccuracies in COD4 (2007) list, it was... easy to write, they were like... five factions, hope you enjoy reading the entries i wrote, did i write some mistake? have better choices than mine? Let your comments on my message board and i will correct them if i can.
Weapon Inaccuracies in MW2 (2009)
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2009)... perhaps one of the most legendary entry in the COD franchise, its multiplayer was fun, although they were some bugs, exploits, glitches and weapon balance issues that made it unplayable most of the time, but other than that, it was an almost perfect gameing experience, so with that being said, campaign should be perfect... Right?
While some of the main characters personalities made them likeable and memorable, the story of the campaign is a narrative, nonsensical mess! the first two levels (not counting the tutorial mission) were ok, but after the second mission, you know, THAT ONE THIRD "MISSION"... it went downhill... what was Infinity Ward thinking!? How in their minds they though this mission, and the rest of them, was a good idea, NO, SERIOUSLY!?
Ok, im going tangent here, i could talk hours upon hours how badly writen the story was and how the layout for some of the levels make no sence at all (but if you like the story of the campaign and the level layout, good for you), but the biggest offender here in my opinion is the weapon choices for the factions in the campaign...
DEAR GOD ALLMIGHTY. THE WEAPONS CHOICES FOR THE FACTIONS... ARE ABYSMAL.
Don't get me wrong, these weapons are perfect for multiplayer, but it makes ZERO sence for almost all branches/factions/sides in the campaign, even for a Call of Duty game.
They have a chance to fix it with the remastered edition, but they blew it, all of the branches/factions/sides STILL use the nonsensical arsenal and for me, this is downright infuriating, so for that i say: !@#$. THE. REMASTER! (but if you like the remaster, good for you).
With that being said, this list will include what weapon is in the game, what is right and wrong, and suggest better choices for almost all of the factions of the game for the Campaign and Special Ops modes: LET'S GET INTO IT :)
LIST STATUS: IN PROGRESS.

BO1 Miscellaneous Anachronisms (and other nonsensical BS, On Hiatus/Mantainance)
Cuba:
- The Cuban "Tropas" (Ficticious, it should be the period-accurate Cuban FAR, Fuerza Armada Revolucionaria or Armed Revolutionary Forces in spanish) are using the french-made TAP Modéle 1947/56 camo uniform, while not anachonistic, this uniform was never used by the Cuban FAR and, for some unfathomable reason, the cuban "tropas" do not use helmets or headgear of any kind, a more appropiate choice could have been the regular field greenish uniform and field cap with insignia, which was used by the Cuban FAR at the time.
- The Cuban "Police" are using an inspired but anachronistic modern day cuban police standard uniforms with ficticious insignias on the arms and beret, in which the beret and shirt is sky blue in color and the pants are dark blue in color, an aprropiate choice for the Cuban Police could have been the period-accurate Cuban Revolutionary Police Force uniforms which was used by "Castro's Auxiliary Forces", which were khaki shirts, olive-drab pants and caps and period accurate insignias.
- The Cuban "Police" cars are the soviet-made GAZ-13 Chaika, while not anachonistic, it was at the time, a high-end, very reciently produced, limousine-class luxury car which was not used by the cuban police, a more appropiate choice could have been the Pontiac Chieftain Model 1954, which was actualy used by the cuban police.
- The Brigade 2506 (Brigada 2506 in english) And/or "Carlos Men's"/"Op 40" Operatives are wearing ficticious uniforms, caps and insignias, a more appropiate choice for "Carlos Men's" should have been civilian-made KAMO duck hunter colorfast field uniform and cap with geniuine insignias, with the camo based on the WW2-era M1942 spot pattern, provided by the C.I.A. and Special Operations advisors for the Brigade 2506.
- A ZPU-4 Anti-Air gun can be seen in the final stage of the mission, while not anachronistic, it is somewhat out-of-place that one lonely cuban is using it (with no crew in sight none the less... also floating FN-FAL G-Series...) the Vz. 53 Anti-Air gun could have been more aprropiate, as it was the most common AA gun used by the the Cuban FAR at the time.
- An BTR-PB appears in the final stage of the mission as well, the BTR-PB is anachronistic, as it was produced in 1966, a more plausible choice for an APC used by the Cuban FAR could have been the BTR-152 or, for more realistic choices, a BTR-60P or a Soviet T-34-85 Tank, which were used by the Cuban FAR durning the Bay of Pigs invasion.
- The Douglas A-26/B-26 Invader, a plane Bowman mentions two times in the mission, supposedly appears, however, upon closer inspection of the model, the B26 is in fact an C-130 transport plane, on top of that, the landing gear is open, an actual B-26 model would have been more aprropiate, as the C.I.A. provided the Pro-US Brigade 2506 with B-26s in an attempt to hide American involvement in the Bay of Pigs invasion, as the Cuban Airforce at the time used the B-26 as well.
- Several MiG-17 fighter jets are seen flying in the final stage of the mission, as well as being parked in their hangars, the appearance in the mission is anachronistic, as this jet did not arrive in cuba until 1964, on top of that, the MiG-17 have North Vietnamese insignias, the Lockheed T-33 Shooting Star alongside the Hawker Sea Fury would be more aprropiate choices for the Cuban Airforce, as they were used durning the Bay of Pigs invasion.

The Soviet-era Spetsnaz are incorrectly depicted as being the main ground forces in all missions within Russia and the Rusalka (except Vorkuta and any missions outside Russia), the Spetsnaz is also refered as a specific military unit, in reality the word "Spetsnaz" is a Russian word/term for "Special Force(s)".
The uniform and gear of the Spetsnaz are highly anachronistic, which includes the following:
- The SSh-68 Helmet, while it was produced in 1968, it was at the time, an earlier produced helmet and rarely available, it also makes an anachronistic appearance in the mission "Executive Order" set in 1963.
- The KZS camo suit was not made until 1975.
- The M88 Olive Afghanka Jacket and Pants were not introduced sometime between 1983 and 1985, also, the cameo pattern inprinted on it is the "flora"/VSR-98/"arbuz" pattern, not inplemented until 1998.
- The Krapoviy/Crimson (or possibly Maroon) Colored Beret was introduced in possibly mid to late 1960s, used by Soviet Paratroopers AKA VDV Airborne Troops and later implemented into it's special forces in 1978, anachronistic to the mission "Executive Order", the insignia is missing as well.
- In the final stage of the Mission "Executive Order", the Spetsnaz are using a ficticious Gas Mask in which the design resembles the Soviet MM-1 and the civilian GP-5 gas which is connected with an GP-5 filter canister or worse, the ANP M51/53 gas mask made in france.
- The SSh-68 Helmet, KZS camo suit, a weird looking suit with hood, M88 Olive Afghanka Jacket and Pants have ficticious winter variants in the "WMD" mission.
- The Soviet 2nd pattern lifchik chest rig is anachronistic, this chest rig did not enter production until 1988, it is also used by Woods, Bowman, Cuban "Tropas", "Carlos Men's"/"Op 40" soldiers, and the NVA.
The Spetsnaz should be wearing period-accurate uniforms and gear which includes the following:
- The Earlier SSh-60 Helmet + it's Variants should replace the SSh-68 Helmet, including a ficticious winter variant and an RKKA Ushanka for the mission "WMD".
- The KLMK uniform with hood and optional face mask with "Splatter/Splotch", optional "Sunshine Rays" camo pattern with ficticious winter variants for the mission "WMD" should replace the KZS camo suit for the missions in 1968.
- The M88 Olive Afghanka Jacket and Pants must be removed.
- The Krapoviy/Crimson Colored Beret should be removed from the mission "Executive Order", the ingsignia must be added, and made only avaliable to VDV Airborne Troops in any post-1963 missions onwards.
- The original 1954 RD-54 Backpack should replace the 2nd pattern lifchik chest rig, additionaly, an RPG-7 rocket backpack should be avaliable to all RPG wielding soviet forces in the campaign.
- An actual MM-1 or an SMh-41 gas masks with an EO-16 filter connected with a standard soviet hose should replace the ficticious gas masks, the MM-1 and GP-5 gas masks should appear as common gear avaliable in the mission "Rebirth" among soviet army and personnel as well.
- The WW2-era two piece winter camo suit for the "WMD" mission should be avaliable for the Spetsnaz and other personnel as well.
As previously mentioned, the Spetsnaz are incorrectly depicted as the main ground forces, it should be removed, reinforced or replaced for the following:
- Regular Soviet Army Soldiers (excluding missions taking place in Hong Kong, Vietnam and Laos for obvious reasons) Wearing M43 khaki uniforms, SSh-60 Helmet + variants, 1950/60s casual or ceremonial shoulder boards and WW2-era or Early Cold War-era Sapogi Boots, they also should appear as the "Strategic Rocket/Missile Forces" stationed in the Leninsk Cosmodrome (the name was changed to "Baikonur" in 1995) and the "Military Unit 25484" stationed in Rebirth Island, this unit used the same above-mentioned uniform, with the only notable difference that the shoulder boards were black in color, which signify this unit is serving in a biological and chemical protection unit.
- Soviet-era VDV Airborne Troops, which uniforms consisting of an 1959 VDV Jumping Suit, SSh-60 Helmet + variants, Pilotka cap, Telnyanshka (an horizontally striped undershirt, blue and white in color) and an RD-54 Backpack, as for their apperance in the "Executive Order" mission and all Post-1963 missions, according to historical sources, Spetsnaz units were dressed like VDVs durning the Invasion of Prague in 1968, so the Spetsnaz dressed in VDV gear is historicaly accurate as well.
- K.G.B. Enlisted Troops appearing in uncommon numbers in the "Executive Order", "WMD", "Rebirth" and "Redemption" missions and K.G.B. Border Guard Enlisted Troops appearing in rare numbers in the "Rebirth" and "Redemption" missions only as well, since the above-mentioned missions take place in sensitive facilities/top-secret bases within the Soviet Union (the Rusalka can be considered an "Mobile" Top Secret base), their uniforms of the K.G.B. Enlisted Troops consists of an M43 (slightly) darker khaki uniforms, K.G.B. Enlisted Visor Cap, K.G.B Shoulder Boards (field, casual or ceremonial + blueish version) and WW2-era or Early Cold War-era Sapogi Boots, as for the K.G.B. Border Guard Enlisted Troops, they used the same M43 dark khaki uniform and Sapogi Boots, with the only notable difference that K.G.B. Border Guards had an slightly different cap, the visor is more rounded and the cap had a greenish coloring and their Shoulder Boards are the same as previously mentioned, with the only difference is that they are greenish in color.
- The Soviet Prision Guards and Spetsnaz "Juggernaut" soldiers appears in the later stages of the missions "Vorkuta" and "Redemption" are wearing ficticious body armor, the older SN-42 body armor or the 6B1 vest among M.V.D. Internal Troops and the Spetsnaz would be more appropiate, still, no such soviet "Juggernaut" soldier existed durning the duration of the cold war.
Vorkuta:
The Prisioners of Vorkuta are wearing plain shirts and pants, since Vorkuta is located in the north of the Arctic Circle and the mission takes place durning autumn, some or almost all of the prisioners should be wearing wool padded jackets and ushankas in the exterior of prision camp, as seen in historical photos of gulags at the time.
The Soviet Prision Guards are just plain ficticious, their uniforms are ficticious, their ushankas are the swedish-made Vintermössa m/1943 which was never used by the soviets, on top of that (and just like in World at War), it has an WW2-era soviet hammer and sickle insignia that is backwards for no apparent reason, the Ministry of Internal Affairs (M.V.D.) Internal Troops are a historicaly and period-accurate choice for Prision Guards for Vorkuta, it should also come as reinforcements durning the later half of the mission, as according to historical sources, the M.V.D. dispersed the actual riot in 1953, as for their uniforms and gear, they consist of an SSh-60 Helmet + variants with a proper soviet RKKA ushanka hat with a proper hammer and sickle insignia, either a WW2-era M43 Dark khaki uniform, WW2-era or cold war era M43 Shinel/Greatcoat, M.V.D. Enlisted Visor Cap, M.V.D. Shoulder Boards (the great coat has his own version of the shoulder board, but it can be both), M.V.D. Overcoat with a collar tab and WW2-era or Early Cold War-era Sapogi Boots.
A Mi-8 "Hip" helicopter appears in Vorkuta, while it was first flown in 1961, it was not put into service until 1967, for plausible realistic choices, the Mi-4 "Hound" (1953) or the Mi-6 "Hook" (1959) would be more appropiate for these missions as well, the Mi-8 "Hip" is not anachronistic for the rest of the game.
U.S.D.D.:
The same soviet-made GAZ-13 Chaika innapropiately appears in the cinematic mission escorting Mason to the Pentagon, this time, it is an enlarged version on it, theres also the Military Police motorbikes, these are in fact soviet Dnepr M-72 motorbikes with American Military Police textures added on them, said bike also appears in the "Vorkuta" mission as well, for a proper american made limusine, an 1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Limousine should replace the enlarged GAZ-13 Chaika, as for the motorbikes, an 1960 Harley-Davidson Duo Glide or an 1950 Indian Chief Black Hawk should replace the Dnepr M-72 motorbikes for the Military Police.
Executive Order:
The Nazi Scientists AKA "The Ascension Group", other than the Spetsnaz, are the only personnel seen in the later stages in the mission, in reality the Leninsk Cosmodrme had a large amount of personnel at the time, including Rocket, Engineering and other crews with black insignias, Soviet Airforce and Cosmonaut personnel with Soviet-era Airforce uniforms, motorized and armored troops, and assigned personnel with Raspberry/Red Color armbands.
An UAZ-3161 truck appears in the mission, which is a slight modernization of the UAZ-469, anachonistic, as it was introduced in 1985, the GAZ-69 would be more appropiate for the mission.
A Mi-8 "Hip" helicopter (again) appears, this time, in the Leninsk Cosmodrome, for plausible realistic choices, see above.
Vietnam:
The U.S. Army uniform is correct, but the gear they are using is the M1967 M.L.C.E. (Modernized Load-Carrying Equipment), while not anachronistic and used in vietnam, it was an uncommon set of gear and a complete set would be a rare sight in the war, another gear that appears is the A.L.I.C.E. (All-Purpose Lightweight Individual Carrying Equipment), the A.L.I.C.E. is anachronistic, this gear wasn't adopted by the U.S. Army until 1973, the M1956 L.C.E. (Load-Carrying Equipment) was the then-standard, more common and aprropiate issued gear used by the U.S. Army in Vietnam, theres also U.S. Personnel wearing medical red cross insignias, which is rare for the war, as it could result into the opposing force making the medic a target priority, the medical red cross insignias should be removed.
The People's Army of Vietnam (P.A.V.N.), also known as the North Vietnamese Army (N.V.A.) and the National Liberation Front (N.L.F.) AKA Viet Cong uniforms and gear mostly correct, with some innacuaracies, including:
- The base uniform and headgear of the N.V.A. is white colored, while the N.V.A. did wear white colored uniforms and headgear, it is incorrectly depicted as the only color avaliable, in 1964 the NVA uniforms and headgear were khaki-colored, sometime after 1964, they changed their khaki uniforms to green, however, the N.V.A. constant washing of their uniforms, caused variations of colors on their uniforms, based on information avaliable online, and since the mission takes place in 1968, the N.V.A. uniform should have multiple variations of colors in their uniforms, including yellow, white, greenish, among other colors.
- The N.V.A. uniform has an ficticional shoulder board/strap based on the soviet shoulder board, no such shoulder boards/straps were ever used by the N.V.A.
- The Viet Cong "Uniform" and gear is mostly okay, but they are innacuaracies, first they use a bandana as their sole headgear, in reality they used captured N.V.A. headgear mixed with a vietnamesse conical hat alongside other headgear, theres also an Viet Cong model with a black pyjama, appropiate for the setting, but severely underused in-game, also, there should be a mix of rare captured military gear alongside common civilian clothing (which is, for a lack of a better word, anachronistic-proof, so i won't bother) among Viet Cong units.
There should be forces of the Vietnam People's Self-Defense Force present in the missions "Victor Charlie" and "Crash Site" since this missions takes place in South Vietnam and Laos respectively, appearing in rare numbers, the militia civil defence force was almost compromised of womens, as at least 1.5 million women served in north vietnam, mostly as a auxiliary military, police and defence force.
On the subject of Laos, there should be forces of the Pathet Lao present on the missions "Crash Site" and "Payback" alongside the Viet Cong, as it was a non-state ally durning the war, for the unaware, the Pathet Lao was a military organization supported by China and the Soviet Union durning the duration of the Laotian Civil War AKA The Secret War in Laos, their uniforms consist of the same as the Chinese and NVA ones, with the only differences being that the chinese uniforms used by the Pathet Lao had no epaulettes and the pants had no rear pockets, on an intresting note, the Pathet Lao received weapons earlier than the Viet Cong, such as the Vz. 58 and the Dragunov SVD.
The Defector:
There's little to no presence of the U.S. Defenders at the M.A.C.V. compound, only two dead bodies of U.S. servicemen are present, by the time of the Battle of Hue, the U.S. Marine Alpha Company/1st Battalion Regiment, Golf Company and Fox Company of the 2nd Battalion/5th Battalion Regiment including Austrailian and American advisors should appear as defenders, on the other side, the Viet Cong 1st and 2nd Sapper Divisions should appear fighting alongside the N.V.A. in few numbers, the N.V.A. 4th Regiment, 804th Battalion and 815th Battalion should appear as attackers in the mission.
Kowloon:
The Spetsnaz are wearing civilian cloting mixed with the above-mentioned anachronistic Soviet 2nd pattern lifchik chest rig, the also above-mentioned RD-54 Backpack would be more appopiate.
Project Nova:
The same Vintermössa m/1943 ushanka and the outdated M41 Telogreika wool-padded jacket is incorrectly used by soviet soldiers, said wool-padded jacket also has ficticional insignia on the collar tab and, just like in World at War, the same star belt bucle appears among soviet soldiers, the star belt buckle was only used by NCO and officers only, the RKKA ushanka hat alongside the SSh-40 helmet and the M43 Telogreika wool-padded jacket are a more historical and accurate choice, the star belt buckle must be removed.
The Nazi German soldiers winter coat is completely fictional (no much else to say), a better choice could have been the Parka winter coat alongside the M43 Kharkiv parka coat, as it was used by Nazi forces in the winter theater durning WW2.
The British commandos uniform seems to be a ficticious winter variant of the regular paratrooper jacket, the winter uniforms worn by the British No. 14 (Arctic) Commando Division would be appropiate.
Rebirth Island:
C.I.A. Operatives are wearing an ficticious (and way too futuristic, as in, BO2 futuristic) N.B.C. Suit and gas mask, an ABC-M17 with an ABC-M6A2 Protective Mask Hood with gloves or an CBR Protection System with Toxicological Agents Protective (TAP) Ensemble gear would be more appropiate, the ficticious N.B.C. suit is incorrectly referred as an Hazmat Suit, the term "Hazmat" is used on civilian versions of the N.B.C. suits.
The Spetsnaz are using also an ficticious N.B.C. Suit and gas mask, the above mentioned SMh-41 gas mask with an OZK protective coverall, consisting of a OP-1 coat, overboat and gloves are a more appropiate choice for the Spetsnaz as well.
