Contract J.A.C.K. (2003)

Contract J.A.C.K. (Just Another Contract Killer) is a first-person shooter video game, a prequel to No One Lives Forever 2: A Spy In H.A.R.M.'s Way. The game was developed by Monolith Productions and released by VU Games in 2003.

The main protagonist is a contract killer named John Jack, who gets recruited by H.A.R.M. to sabotage a rival criminal organization called Danger Danger. Unlike NOLF and NOLF2, this game does not involve sneaking.

The following weapons can be seen in the video game Contract J.A.C.K.:

Pistols

IMI/Magnum Desert Eagle Mark XIX

The nickel Desert Eagle Mark XIX is the default handgun in the game. While it is called ".50 Handgun", in reality it is the .357 Magnum variant, noted by its fluted barrel and 9-round capacity. The gun operates in DAO (instead of the correct SA), and the slide locks back automatically when a reload is initiated. The pistol fires continuously if the fire key is held.

The game takes place in the 1960s, which makes the Desert Eagle highly anachronistic: the Mark I variant was not introduced until 1982, and the Mark XIX was not developed until 1995.

-This gun is anachronistic for the game: Although it is never mentioned when does the game take place, some missions involve "sneaking" into a Czechoslovak military base. On 1 January 1993, Czechoslovakia split into Czech Republic and Slovakia, but the Mark XIX variant of the Desert Eagle was not introduced until 1995.

 == Thompson Center Arms Contender ==
-The [[Thompson Center Arms Contender]] appears in the game as the "Corrector." The in-game version fires High Explosive bullets (known simply as "HE") and is fitted with a scope. Ammo for it is very scarce.

-== Beretta Cheetah ==
+== Beretta 82FS "Cheetah" ==
-Volkov is seen with a [[Beretta Cheetah]] pistol with wooden grips in the outro of the game. The exact variant and caliber is unknown.
+Interestingly, ".32" caliber bullets can be found throughout the single player campaign, but the [[Beretta 80 Series Pistols - "Cheetah"#Beretta 81|Beretta 82FS "Cheetah"]] is only accessible via cheats. The 9-round capacity and the .32 ACP ammo indicates that it is the 82 variant from the Cheetah series, while the "combat" trigger guard (also seen on the majority of 92/96/98 models) points out that it is the F/FS variant. (Please note that imfdb does not differentiate the F and FS models, since the differences are not visible during casual inspection.)

+The 82FS fires modified bullets filled with cyanide, that produce hallucination after impact. Volkov is also seen with a Beretta 82FS pistol in the outro of the game.
+This pistol is also anachronistic, as it was not introduced until 1976.

 ==Ithaca 37==
 The sawed-off [[Ithaca 37]] appear in the game as "Combat Shotgun". Despite having a sawed-off barrel (and tubular mag), the gun somehow manages to hold 8 shells at max. Can fire normal and phosphorus shells.

 ==Colt M1921AC Thompson==
 The [[Tommy Gun|M1921AC Thompson]] returns from ''NOLF2'', this time called simply ".45 SMG". Fires in 2-round burst when the mouse is clicked. Used by elite Danger Danger operatives.

 ==Steyr SSG 69 PII==
-The [[Steyr SSG 69|Steyr SSG 69 PII]] is known in the game as the "Sniper Rifle". Comes with 10-round magazines (which are now discontinued). The in-game variant is chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (which is known as ".308" in the game, so that players do not confuse it with the AK-47's "7.62" ammo).
