=== TWS (Thermal Weapon Sight ===
=== TWS (Thermal Weapon Sight) ===
The TWS is a high tech thermal/day sight, and comes in two variants. One for standard weapons, with a zoom range of 10-23x and rangefinding, and one designed for machine guns, with a zoom range of 10-27x. The TWS MG does not have zeroing, but does have drop comp markers. Both variants are universal between the factions.

=== AMS (*)===
The AMS was added, along with the bevy of new weapons in the Marksmen DLC, on 8/4/15. It's a fairly standard sniper sight, apart from the RDS on the top of it. It seems to be tied to NATO soldiers but I'm not sure. It comes in Black, Tan and Green.

=== Kaliha (*)===
The Kaliha is a CSAT opposite to the AMS, also released on 8/4/15. It doesn't have an RDS, unfortunately. It comes in Black, Hex Camo, Tan, and interestingly, Old variants.
[[Image:kaliha1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|FPS view of the Kaliha down a runway.]]
[[Image:kaliha2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Red as that fibre optic sight is, it's just not an RDS. *Sigh*]]

[[Image:kaliha5.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Interestingly, the Kaliha also has an ''Old'' variant. It doesn't come with the attached iron sights, and is a bit rusty, useful for the FIA guerilla faction.]]
=== ERCO (Enhanced Rifle Combat Optic (*) ===
The ERCO was added with the Apex expansion. It features a RDS, a 4x magnification, and mounts on most weapons.
[[Image:arma3_erco_1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Where better to test out your new optic, than a big hill near a volcano?]]
Added with the Marksmen DLC, the 9.3mm suppressor attaches to weapons like the Cyrus. It comes in Black and Tan.

[[Image:93supp2.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A tan one, too.]]
== Bipods (*)==
Bipods were added were added as part of the Marksmen update on 8/4/15 They mount on the bottom of the weapon, if the weapon can mount a bipod. Some can't, like carbines, but the CSAT main rifle can't, either. Also, if a weapon had a bipod pre-update, that was essentially useless on the gun, it was made useful! How nifty.
===NATO Bipod===
The NATO Bipod is found commonly, on NATO weapons.
== FN F2000 Tactical ==
[[Image:natobipod1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A NATO soldier models a stunning black Bipod. ]]

[[Image:natobipod3.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This Tan one compliments his MX 6.5 perfectly, even if Arma 3 isn't totally perfect at modelling bipods.]]
The Mk 20 comes in two colour variants. The green camo variant is detailed on the main page. The plain brown version is on display here.
===CSAT Bipod===
[[image:mk20PLAINhud.jpg|thumb|none|600px|HUD view of the Mk 20 in Brown.]]
The CSAT Bipod is predictably on CSAT weapons.

==Cut Weapons==
As of the moment the following weapons have been removed from the game despite being fully functioning in earlier builds. The developers say that they might make their way back in post-release, "maybe".
=== Benelli M4 Super 90 ===
The [[Benelli_M4#Benelli_M4|Benelli M4 Super 90]] appears as the "M4 SASS" during the pre-release Alpha development builds.
[[File:M4Super90.jpg|thumb|none|500px|Benelli M4 Super 90 with 6-shot tube - 12 Gauge]]

=== Kel-Tec KSG ===
The [[Kel-Tec KSG]] is a cut weapon found in pre-release materials.

=== Heckler & Koch XM25 ===
The [[Heckler & Koch XM25|H&K XM25]] appeared in pre-release screenshots.
[[File:Arma3_xm25.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The NATO soldier circled in red is holding a H&K XM25.]]
=== General Dynamics GAU-22/A ===
The F-35B Lightning II is a vehicle shown in pre-release materials. It most likely has the [[General Dynamics GAU-12/U#GAU-22/A|GD GAU-22/A]] as its main armament. The F-35B served as a placeholder for jets during development.
::The final two weapons are the H&K HK121 (as the "Navid") and the M-14.--[[User:Markit|Markit]] ([[User talk:Markit|talk]]) 17:36, 3 March 2015 (EST)
:::According to the livestream, the MAR-10 is based on the Noreen Bad News rifle, the Mk4 EMR is based on the SG556 DMR (there is a large caliber variant called the 556xi but the look is quite different. Has practically no magwell to fit a banana mag), Mk14 is obvious, ASP-1 was a futirised VSS/VKS, the Cyrus is inspired by the Dragunov (don't really see it IMO), they didn't mention the LMG origins but they're rather obvious.[[User:Temp89|Temp89]] ([[User talk:Temp89|talk]])
::::The Cyrus' ejection port and stock match the SVDS, but the rest of it looks ARish. The area above the model's hand on the ASP-1 looks like a SCAR receiver, too.[[User:AgentGumby|AgentGumby]] ([[User talk:AgentGumby|talk]]) 16:59, 7 March 2015 (EST)
== SCAR-L ==
In multiplayer (and possibly singleplayer, haven't checked) the primary weapon slot when empty has an icon of a SCAR-L. Is that worth mentioning on the main page? [[User:Majorcamo|Majorcamo]] ([[User talk:Majorcamo|talk]]) 22:53, 5 June 2015 (EDT)
:I don't see why not. Maybe make a separate section for it or something. [[User:Dannysaysnoo|Dannysaysnoo]] ([[User talk:Dannysaysnoo|talk]]) 20:36, 6 June 2015 (EDT)
== Battle Rifles ==
We currently have weapons such as the Mk.14 and M14 under the Sniper Rifle category. But we also have the RFB under the Assault Rifle category. Should we move the rifles such as the M14 to the Assault Rifle category and rename it "Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles." I just think it would make more sense as we combine the two on other pages and some the weapons under the Sniper Rifle category fire in full-auto. [[User:Majorcamo|Majorcamo]] ([[User talk:Majorcamo|talk]]) 22:00, 11 July 2015 (EDT)
== Official P90 mod + RHS:Escalation ==
First off: Bohemia released the first ever official mod on the steam workshop in the form of the PS90, the P90 TR, and normal P90, under the name of "ADR-97". We should probably include this in the page. Second, a bit less likely to have a page is RHS: Escalation, which, if created, should have its own page. I ask for this page to be created because a) It includes pretty much every firearm currently used by the US and Russian forces, b) Bohemia themselves awarded it one of the top prizes in the mod competition, and c) It is one of the most popular and well-known mods in the ArmA series. I HIGHLY recommend making a page for this, as the quality of the weapons are some of the greatest I've ever seen in a game. --[[User:BlackHawk510|BlackHawk510]] ([[User talk:BlackHawk510|talk]]) 13:44, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
:If it ain't official then it won't get an entry, i think.--[[User:AnActualAK47|AnActualAK47]] ([[User talk:AnActualAK47|talk]]) 14:10, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
::Well Project Reality has it's own page, I don't see why RHS couldn't.[[User:AgentGumby|AgentGumby]] ([[User talk:AgentGumby|talk]]) 14:19, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
:::Also, Firearms:Source, Forgotten hope, Insurgency, etc weren't official, but do have entries. Do note that I'm pretty sure that the Bohemia devs have played with RHS, or officially sponsored tournaments using it. Also, the rules dictate that a mod CAN have its own entry if it is very well known, which is certainly the case with RHS. --[[User:BlackHawk510|BlackHawk510]] ([[User talk:BlackHawk510|talk]]) 15:08, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
::::It's probably not unreasonable under those circumstances. So long as you're willing to put in the time and the page is done properly, I don't think the admins would have a problem with you making it. [[User:Sergeant Simpleton|Sergeant Simpleton]] ([[User talk:Sergeant Simpleton|talk]]) 20:30, 16 May 2016 (EDT)
:::::Thank you, I'll be sure to put a lot of effort into it when I have time.--[[User:BlackHawk510|BlackHawk510]] ([[User talk:BlackHawk510|talk]]) 18:45, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
== Tanoa weapons ==
Tanoa was added to the development branch and people extracted the weapons data.
Lines 11249 & 11587 & 13000 onwards, looks like AKS-74U, AKM, AK-12, RPG-7, Makariv PM, SCAR-L, SCAR-H, SCAR-L-CQC, QBZ-95, QBZ-95B, QBB-95, QBU-88, and a few others. There are also models of 3 crashed WW2 planes on the island.
:Pretty such the SPAR-16/17 is supposed to be an HK416, and HK417, given that the 416 appears on the official poster for APEX.--[[User:BlackHawk510|BlackHawk510]] ([[User talk:BlackHawk510|talk]]) 17:24, 7 June 2016 (EDT)
On Tanoa, ruins of military installations from WWII can often be found, and they tend to feature broken artillery pieces as well. (they're also assets available in the Eden editor) Can somebody identify what artillery this is? --[[User:Wuzh|Wuzh]] ([[User talk:Wuzh|talk]]) 10:29, 8 September 2020 (EDT)
The MPi AK-74 appears as an East German rifle. It comes in three variants: the full-length, full stocked MPi AK-74, the MPi AKS-74 with an East German-styled folding stock, and the MPi AKS-74K with a shortened barrel and folding stock.
MPi KM-72
The MPi KM-72 appears as an East German rifle. It comes in two variants: the MPi KM-72 with a solid stock, and the MPi KMS-72 with a folding stock.
The G3 appears as the standard rifles of West Germany and Denmark. There are two variants: the full stocked G3A3, and the sliding stocked G3A4, both using 20-round magazines.
The RPK appears as the light machine gun of East Germany, under the name LMG RPK. There are two variants: RPK-74 chambered in 5.45x39mm, using either 30-round or 45-round magazines, and RPK chambered in 7.62x39mm, using 75-round drums or 30-round magazines.
The XMS is a bullpup assault rifle used exclusively by ION private military contractors. It is heavily based on the Heckler & Koch XM8, just altered into a bullpup form.
The IR Laser Pointer gives the user a beam of light down the muzzle, giving off a NV-visible only laser that indicates the user's muzzle point. It's used by both BLUFOR and OPFOR.
These mount atop the weapon, on the optic rail. If a weapon has folding iron sights, they will fold down, but not all do.
ACO (Advanced Colliminator Optic)
The ACO is one of the few attachments with two versions, one for BLUFOR, and one for OPFOR and INDFOR. It appears to be based on the C-More Railway reflex sight. With the release of the Marksmen DLC on the 8th of April, 2015, two more ACOs were added, zeroed for SMGs.
The RCO gives a 12x image, and has built in drop comp and a red dot sight mounted atop the optic. Used by the BLUFOR faction. It is based on the Leupold HAMR scope.
The SOS is used with the anti-materiel rifles. It has a variable 10 to 84x zoom, and can be adjusted to hit up to 2300m targets. It's shared by all factions.
The TWS is a high tech thermal/day sight, and comes in two variants. One for standard weapons, with a zoom range of 10-23x and rangefinding, and one designed for machine guns, with a zoom range of 10-27x. The TWS MG does not have zeroing, but does have drop comp markers. Both variants are universal between the factions.
The Nightstalkers is a high tech nightvision/thermal/day sight, with a zoom range of 5-25x, and a rangefinder. It has the unique feature of identifying targets, the display of the rifle lighting up as one aims at a target. It is exclusive to the OPFOR faction.
The DMS is a marksman optic with 12x zoom. It's used by the OPFOR side, typically mounted on their Rahim rifles. It has a small RDS mounted on the top, as well.
The AMS was added, along with the bevy of new weapons in the Marksmen DLC, on 8/4/15. It's a fairly standard sniper sight, apart from the RDS on the top of it. It seems to be tied to NATO soldiers but I'm not sure. It comes in Black, Tan and Green.

The F2000's foregrip is a Monolith Arms Tri-Rail System. Since Monolith Arms got bought by Magpul, Magpul may start producing them. I don't know. But that's why the F2000 has the P90 style foregrip.

If they started producing them again I might actually take a look at buying an FS 2000. That Monolith Arms foregrip is just too badass. --AdAstra2009 22:17, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
Sniper rifle on the poster.
I put it down as a Barrett M99, but can't be absolutely certain that its not a Barrett M95 without seeing the magazine (of lack thereof), but the length of the forend makes me think M99. Can anyone who knows more about these confirm? Jimmoy 09:52, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
Well, the guys on BIS forums are guessing M95. Also, about that unknown gun, it kinda sorta could be the new Skorpion. The EVO one? Tanaj 18:20, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
I think your very well right about the unknown gun being the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 A1, yep, it's defiantly it, way to go Tanaj! :) Mr. Wolf 21:51, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
Well, to be honest I looked it up on their forum. But to my credit it was one of my guesses even before that. :) Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Difficult to say, might be just an early model, but I do remember seeing a screenshot from the E3 presentation with a reload/pickup prompt with some more exotic round. 6.8 I think, but I'm not sure. Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Looks to just be Bohemia's take on the Remington ACR, similar to their take on the KAC LMG. Stock seems to be a cross between the ACR adjustable stock and a Magpul UBR, receiver configuration looks to have the same profile. Same overall weapon profile, with some key differences (Like location of the charging handle, and rail system). But my money is that it was just based off of the ACR. Halorocka888 18:50, 1 June 2012 (CDT)
Confirmed by a inside source, its in game name is the MX, its the NATO standard rifle and it fires the 6.5 Grendel. scarecrow 06:36, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Not so much inside source as its name being plastered on all the E3 infantry gameplay.Temp89 06:31, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
No, inside source, I've known for a few months but haven't been on the site for a while; the gurrilla's also use the tavor... scarecrow 06:36, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Tavor was one of the first weapons shown. Post something unknown for credibility. Temp89 10:07, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Well i would love to but i prefer to avoid breaking my NDA and losing €25,000... scarecrow 19:22, 14 June 2012 (CDT)
Is it just me or does the magazine look too small for 6.5mm Grendel? Or maybe the scaling is just off in that first screenshot. Also, it is odd they have made the magazine straight, as the 6.5mm Grendel roung has a taper so the mag would need to be curved just like a .223. --commando552 06:45, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
That said, could it perhaps be chambered in some fictional caseless round? From what I understand (which is, granted, only stuff freely available online), the LSAT concept using a 5.56mm round isn't finalised and could be subject to change (assuming it ever sees the light of day). I suspect that this might be Bohemia's guess at what the LSAT rifle might look like. Just conjecture, but I thought it couldn't hurt to float the idea. Jimmoy 20:10, 4 July 2012 (CDT)
Glock 19
As noted as a PO7, it is most likely a place holder for the CZ PO7 Duty, thoughts? scarecrow 01:49, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
It's probably just a fictionalized name. ArmA II used G17 for it, and it looks like a nearly photo identical model was used for ArmA III. Dannysaysnoo 18:19, 2 February 2013

Click on that and expand it. The "Glock" is chambered in 9x21mm. It seems to mention a weapon similar to the PP-2000 as well. Dannysaysnoo 21:49, 8 Febuary 2013
Alpha release on March 5th
The alpha release will be on March 5th. We've been promised 12 weapons. I'll try and find out which as soon as I can. Dannysaysnoo 22:48, 26 Febuary 2013
Extended list of guns in the final game
In the Alpha a list of gun references were extracted from the files (with BIS's blessing). It may not be final or complete but it has some interesting entries:
I couldn't properly identify the 1911 and the Titan, so I've left them up for others to identify.
How to Take Good Close-up Pics
In this case the game let's us skip having to position the player so we can get a good angle on a gun.
In the editor place any soldier. Then go to Empty -> Ammo and you will see a list of Ammo Crates you can place that contain any and every infantry weapon in the game. Click Preview to go ingame and then press Escape. Click the Camera button and the game will pause. You now have full control of the camera from position to depth of field to blur. You can zoom as close to any object as you want.Temp89 (talk) 12:57, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to to a total recall on all pictures when the game is on general release, and make new ones. I'm not happy with a lot of them. Mainly, I'm going to take pictures in more varied locations, with more varied soldiers. It always bugs me when it's obvious someone is farming screenshots. Dannysaysnoo 01:41, 4 August 2013 (GMT)
Under the weapons section the page has been updated with all the inventory pics of every gun in every single configuration. STK CPW is the PDW2000.Temp89 (talk) 18:44, 27 August 2013 (EDT)
Seperation of Cut weapons and Final weapons
Very good, I wanted to do this at some point after release. I remained naive, asking for the KSG for ages. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 07:19, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
COMPLETE REFRESH OF PAGE FOR RELEASE VERSION
That's it. It took me about 7 hours straight, but I've replaced every blurry, grainy, useless image with a clean one from the release version. I've also added the Mk32 GMG, and added some text in some places. I'm real tired, and I need a nap. *Drops the mic* - Dannysaysnoo (talk) 00:54, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
How I Arranged The Page.
Part of my post-release screenshot fest was a severe rearranging of the order of firearms. I arranged them, by faction. NATO > CSAT > AAF > FIA. For the mounted weapons, I also arranged them by Mounted > Aircraft Mounted. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 19:33, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
The final two weapons are the H&K HK121 (as the "Navid") and the M-14.--Markit (talk) 17:36, 3 March 2015 (EST)
According to the livestream, the MAR-10 is based on the Noreen Bad News rifle, the Mk4 EMR is based on the SG556 DMR (there is a large caliber variant called the 556xi but the look is quite different. Has practically no magwell to fit a banana mag), Mk14 is obvious, ASP-1 was a futirised VSS/VKS, the Cyrus is inspired by the Dragunov (don't really see it IMO), they didn't mention the LMG origins but they're rather obvious.Temp89 (talk)
The Cyrus' ejection port and stock match the SVDS, but the rest of it looks ARish. The area above the model's hand on the ASP-1 looks like a SCAR receiver, too.AgentGumby (talk) 16:59, 7 March 2015 (EST)
SCAR-L
In multiplayer (and possibly singleplayer, haven't checked) the primary weapon slot when empty has an icon of a SCAR-L. Is that worth mentioning on the main page? Majorcamo (talk) 22:53, 5 June 2015 (EDT)
I don't see why not. Maybe make a separate section for it or something. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 20:36, 6 June 2015 (EDT)
Battle Rifles
We currently have weapons such as the Mk.14 and M14 under the Sniper Rifle category. But we also have the RFB under the Assault Rifle category. Should we move the rifles such as the M14 to the Assault Rifle category and rename it "Assault Rifles and Battle Rifles." I just think it would make more sense as we combine the two on other pages and some the weapons under the Sniper Rifle category fire in full-auto. Majorcamo (talk) 22:00, 11 July 2015 (EDT)
Official P90 mod + RHS:Escalation
First off: Bohemia released the first ever official mod on the steam workshop in the form of the PS90, the P90 TR, and normal P90, under the name of "ADR-97". We should probably include this in the page. Second, a bit less likely to have a page is RHS: Escalation, which, if created, should have its own page. I ask for this page to be created because a) It includes pretty much every firearm currently used by the US and Russian forces, b) Bohemia themselves awarded it one of the top prizes in the mod competition, and c) It is one of the most popular and well-known mods in the ArmA series. I HIGHLY recommend making a page for this, as the quality of the weapons are some of the greatest I've ever seen in a game. --BlackHawk510 (talk) 13:44, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
If it ain't official then it won't get an entry, i think.--AnActualAK47 (talk) 14:10, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
Well Project Reality has it's own page, I don't see why RHS couldn't.AgentGumby (talk) 14:19, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
Also, Firearms:Source, Forgotten hope, Insurgency, etc weren't official, but do have entries. Do note that I'm pretty sure that the Bohemia devs have played with RHS, or officially sponsored tournaments using it. Also, the rules dictate that a mod CAN have its own entry if it is very well known, which is certainly the case with RHS. --BlackHawk510 (talk) 15:08, 15 May 2016 (EDT)
It's probably not unreasonable under those circumstances. So long as you're willing to put in the time and the page is done properly, I don't think the admins would have a problem with you making it. Sergeant Simpleton (talk) 20:30, 16 May 2016 (EDT)
Thank you, I'll be sure to put a lot of effort into it when I have time.--BlackHawk510 (talk) 18:45, 17 May 2016 (EDT)
Tanoa weapons
Tanoa was added to the development branch and people extracted the weapons data.
Lines 11249 & 11587 & 13000 onwards, looks like AKS-74U, AKM, AK-12, RPG-7, Makariv PM, SCAR-L, SCAR-H, SCAR-L-CQC, QBZ-95, QBZ-95B, QBB-95, QBU-88, and a few others. There are also models of 3 crashed WW2 planes on the island.
Pretty such the SPAR-16/17 is supposed to be an HK416, and HK417, given that the 416 appears on the official poster for APEX.--BlackHawk510 (talk) 17:24, 7 June 2016 (EDT)
Tanoa Artillery Ruins
On Tanoa, ruins of military installations from WWII can often be found, and they tend to feature broken artillery pieces as well. (they're also assets available in the Eden editor) Can somebody identify what artillery this is? --Wuzh (talk) 10:29, 8 September 2020 (EDT)
