Payday 2 is the sequel to Payday: The Heist. As with the first game, players may join up to three others in a spree of robberies and other heists to earn money. Payday 2 noticeably features many changes from the first game, among other things the new skill tree. Each of the five trees (the Mastermind, Enforcer, Technician, Ghost, and Fugitive) focuses on differing specializations, though unlike the first game do not grant new weapons for level ups (aside from special examples like the portable saw). Weapons are instead unlocked to purchase by leveling up, which now is done with experience points instead of money. Money is used to buy new weapons, modifications, and masks, though it is divided between a player's "Offshore Account" (which comprises 80% of the money they earn in a heist) and spending cash (the other 20%), and only the spending cash can be used to buy weapons and addons.
Entries marked with (*) are weapons obtained for free (although they still need to be bought with in-game money) by joining the official Payday 2 steam group. Entries marked with (**) are DLC (downloadable content) weapons.
The following weapons appear in the video game Payday 2
The game operates with the heister moving in with 2 weapons, and 2 weapons only. A primary and a secondary. Primaries consist of assault and battle rifles, shotguns, sniper rifles, machine guns, and dual-wielded weapons. Secondaries consist of pistols, machine pistols, and bizarrely, a few chopped down variants of some shotguns and assault rifles. Players can take ammo from enemies, but not weapons, ala SWAT 4 and other such tactical shooters.
Each weapon has its own customization options, though some like the Glock 17 barely have any and others like the M4A1 may have much more than others. In addition to shared items like suppressors, weapons also have their own sets of unique addons, such as extended magazines or different finishes or grips. Mods can be removed from these weapons for no charge, and the mod in question will not be lost, merely returned to the player's inventory. However, re-adding it will again require money, with the exception of certain items that have no cost to add
In addition to this, the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC introduced select-fire to weapons, and DLC owners unlock access to special addons that enable locking a weapon permanently in one fire mode, along with frag grenades. The later Gage Weapon Pack #02 DLC introduced machine guns and knives to the game. Owners of the Gage Mod Courier DLC are able to unlock a special set of free modifications that are otherwise unobtainable. As a bonus, the pack also comes with extra reticles and colors for all sights, though players without the DLC will still be able to use all the colors and a few of the new reticles. In addition, every weapon DLC pack since (and a few heist DLCs) have had even more new guns and melee weapons, and some lock weapon addons to specific achievements rather than random drops. The Gage Sniper Pack introduced armor-piercing sniper rifles to the game. Finally, a noteworthy addition from the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC is the option to use different shell types for any of the game's shotguns. All firearms in Payday 2 are capable of performing a "tactical reload" (i.e. reload when the magazine isn't emptied) in addition to the "dry" animation, though as is common with most contemporary non-tactical shooters, none of them retain the round currently in battery, meaning there is no "one round in the chamber".
As a final addition, the October 22, 2014 patch introduced akimbo weapons, which are wielded as primary weapons but are mostly identical to their single-wielded versions (aside to obvious penalties to their accuracy and recoil control). This list of weapons has expanded over time to include seven sets of pistols and three sets of sub-machine guns. Formerly, only players that had the Hitman perk deck or the Akimbo skill were able to use these weapons, though as of Update 100 (June 2, 2016) any player may use them without any skill investment at all
As of Update #65 (The first person animation update) All base game guns (except for the Taurus Raging Bull aka Bronco .44) and some DLC weapons have received new first person animations, most notably new reloading animations. Also with this update magazines now actually have fully modeled bullets in them, on top of that, it's is possible to see the bullets in the transparent magazines of weapons such as the JP36 (G36K), Commando 553 (SG 552-2), Kobus 90 (P90) etc.
Handguns
Glock 17
The first weapon the new players can use (alongside the Colt Model 733) is a Glock 17. It is given to the player for free as soon as they start the game. It goes by the name "Chimano 88" in-game (the 88 possibly being a reference to Pistol 88, the Swedish army's designation for the Glock 17, which is their service weapon) In the early days of Payday 2, it could only use one of three suppressors, though additional mods compatible with it has since been added. The mod selection for the Glock 17 is strangely limited. It can't, for example, use the extended magazine the Glock 18 and 22 can use for whatever reason.
It has damage and accuracy stats very slightly below most 9mm pistols in the game but it boasts a huge ammo pool and top notch concealment. The pistol has a 17 round magazine capacity which would be correct if it weren't for the extended base plate that should add two more rounds, but it doesn't.
It is one of seven pistols that can be dual-wielded.
The Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator is unlocked at reputation level 2, and is much more customizable than the starting Glock 17. It is named the "Crosskill" as it was in the first game and has an incorrect 10-round magazine instead of 7 or 8 as in reality, it's Extended Mag modification gives it the model of a Kimber 10-round magazine but it holds 16 rounds. It is one of the seven pistols that can be dual-wielded. It is also seen in the background in several menus.
The Beretta 92FS Centurion appears as the "Bernetti 9" and is unlocked at reputation level 6, and has an incorrect 14-round capacity instead of 15. Presently, it is one of the seven pistols that can be dual-wielded. The name "B9-S" is visible on the slide, as a nod to the pistol's name from the first Payday
The Taurus Raging Bull returns from the first Payday, again known as the "Bronco .44" but now featuring its full-length barrel by default. It holds 6 rounds and is unlocked at reputation level 6, and is massively powerful. As of Update 13, street cops can use this devastating weapon. It is also notably used by the female FBI Agent enemies in the Hoxton Breakout heist and some mobsters in the Hotline Miami heist. The hammer is always shown cocked after every shot despite none of the characters ever cocking the hammer.
The Glock 18C is unlocked at reputation level 29 and, as in the first game, is known as the "STRYK 18c." It still features a high rate of fire, decent damage, and low accuracy. It comes with a slightly incorrect 20-round magazine (actually 19), and a tan frame and slide. Notably, it is one of 3 select-fire capable guns in the game that does not get the fire-mode locking mods.
The IMI Desert Eagle Mark XIX goes by the everlasting nickname Deagle in-game. It holds an incorrect 10 rounds in its 7-round magazine. While it's possible to squeeze ten rounds into the .357 Magnum version of a Desert Eagle (nine in the mag and a round in the chamber) the Desert Eagle in-game is clearly the .50 AE version since it has a non-fluted barrel.
The Heckler & Koch USP45 Tactical appears as the Interceptor .45 and is automatically unlocked for purchase by joining the official Payday Steam Group. It's quite powerful and uses a 13-round magazine (one more than it holds in real life for the .45 ACP version). It is one of seven pistols that can be dual-wielded (along with all variants below). It is incorrectly shown fitted with a Heckler & Koch Jet-Funnel mag-well extension and extended magazines that were only designed for and fit the 9mm and .40 S&W versions of the USP.
The Glock 22C appears as a new gun added in the Election Day update (3/20/2014) and is named the "Chimano Custom", with the website render marking it as a .40 S&W model. It has a default magazine of 16 rounds (actually 15 in real life or 17 with the +2 base-plate shown in-game) and can be modified in most of the same ways as the Glock 18C. It has a unique red fiber-optic front sight, a flared magazine well, and an OD green frame. The Custom becomes a Glock 35 if equipped with the "Long Slide" modification. This is one of the seven pistols that can be dual-wielded
On the seventh day of the Crimefest release parade (October 22nd 2014), John Wick himself jumped aboard and brought his trusted Glock 26 along for the ride. Called the Chimano Compact, it tries to fill the same "high-capacity 9x19mm" role as the Beretta 92. It can stand up to it in terms of damage output and has a trivial recoil advantage, but otherwise lags a little behind on all fronts, especially so with the "high-capacity" bit. Unlocked at level 36, the $605,000 price tag is a little hard to swallow for what it is. It's also the first of the seven pistols which have separate akimbo variants classed as primary weapons.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingGlock 26 subcompact - 9x19mmError creating thumbnail: File missingWick's unsullied Glock 26. Overkill correctly set it to carry 10 rounds at a time, but didn't account for the potential extra two bullets the molded Pearce Grips magazine extension adds.Error creating thumbnail: File missingGiven the worrying accuracy numbers Glocks have in this game, John is relieved to see that the Chimano Compact stands on the same adequate level as the Signature .40 and Crosskill. It can reliably put a round into a SWAT helmet around 10 meters (demonstrated by the poor bastard under the bead) without help and up to 20 when upgraded - which is about as far as the sights can comfortably handle, anyway.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe unique Striking upgrades (body kit, slide, magazine) turn the gun into a "Tier 1" custom version from Salient Arms International. It even appears to have some of the optional extras listed in the brochure, namely the grip stippling and eye-searing Cerakote finish. The end result is a welcome upgrade to both damage and accuracy, but the gaudy look lowers its top-notch stealth rating to the level of a common .44 revolver.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLooks like this tactical custom was devised at an in-house "Chimano Custom Shop" instead. The gadget options are the same limited set as with the starter Glock, but it gets a free set of Striking components from the get-go. Note the relatively massive attachment rail and low-profile laser which don't hurt concealability in any way. The stock slide also has a small stamp on top of the bolt with the letters "AT" and the Overkill bomb logo - perhaps a modeler's signature.Error creating thumbnail: File missingDallas rallies his burly crew during an armored car ambush. When the slide locks back, the upgraded barrel is revealed to have heat-dissipating baffles all the way around it - another optional SAI custom order. Additionally, the colors of the Cerakote coating have a much closer resemblance to the real-life options under daylight.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe grip-mounted laser module not only increases accuracy in itself, but its beam is completely unobtrusive when the sights are used. Note the cute US flag on the upgraded slide.Error creating thumbnail: File missingJohn Wick whips up a rampage inside a gangster stronghold. A rather weak option in the akimbo category, the Chimano Compacts suffer dearly from being stuck at a shallow 10-round magazine capacity. That said, they're still the least bad akimbo pistols to reach the maximum of 30 concealment - extremely important for Fugitives, whose combat performance is directly derived from stealthiness.Error creating thumbnail: File missingChambers full?

Walther PPK(**)
The Walther PPK is available for purchase with the Armored Transport DLC and is known as the "Gruber Kurz" pistol. It is fairly weak but easy to conceal and incorrectly holds 14 rounds instead of 6 (.380 ACP) or 7 (.32 ACP) rounds. It was the first handgun in the game to be able to use a laser without needing anything in the gadget slot, having a unique grip with a built-in laser. This was later followed by the Glock series' own laser grip
The SIG-Sauer P226R in .40 S&W appears as the Signature .40 and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. In-game it does the same amount of damage as the Crosskill (Springfield Armory 1911 Lightweight Operator), but most, if not all, of its stats are better compared to the Crosskill. By default, the P226 holds 12 rounds (one less than the real .40 version) and its extended magazine unusually has no concealment penalty (unlike those for most weapons)
The Taurus 4510PLYFS was added to the game as a Crimefest community milestone reward, for having 1 million members in the Payday 2 Steam group. It shoots the .410 Bore and holds 5 shells, and is classed by the game as a shotgun, so handgun skills have no effects on it. It is depicted as being ridiculously power, even more so than most of the 12 gauge shotguns, despite it's .410 chambering, much like the similar Taurus Judge in the Max Payne movie. Thanks to sharing its accessories with the other shotguns, it can accept the Silent Killer suppressor, which logically wouldn't work due to the gap between the barrel and cylinder.
The Mauser C96 "Broomhandle" appears as the "Broomstick" and is unlocked for purchase at reputation level 23 by buying the Gage Historical Pack DLC. It has rather high damage (equivalent to the 92FS Centurion or PPK), but is hindered by its 10-round magazine and a somewhat slower reload.
File:Payday2 Mauser C96 -hd1- variant 1.jpgModified version of the Mauser C96, with a pistol red dot sight, a micro laser aiming module on a side-mounted rail, a 20-round removable magazine from the M712 "Schnellfeuer" variant, and a "Damper.L 44 Nozzle" to give it the barrel of the DL-44 Heavy Blaster Pistol from Star Wars.File:Payday2 Mauser C96 -hd1- variant 2.jpgModified version of the Mauser C96, this time with a suppressor and a scope. Like the nozzle, this scope, the "Barrel Sight 44", is based on that of the DL-44 blaster from Star Wars.
The Springfield Armory XDM appears as the "LEO Pistol" as part of the Butcher DLC along with the VHS-D2 rifle. Initially a Croatian design (as the HS2000), it has an 19-round magazine, which is correct for the 9mm version. The markings are inconsistent however, showing on the slide that the chambering is .40 S&W, but the ejection port markings show that is chambered for .45 ACP.
The pistol comes with an olive drab frame and has two slide mods, the "Custom Slide" and "Long Slide". The Custom Slide oddly adds a ported 4" original XD model slide and the Long Slide adds a stainless steel XDM 5.25 Competition series slide which despite its name is the same length as the standard slide (which seems to be a fictional 5" version). Both the mod slides have "5.25" marked on the sides despite nether of the slides/barrels actually being 5.25 inches.
A Single Action Army with wooden grips appears as the "Peacemaker .45" and is part of the Butcher's Western Pack DLC. By default it is the 7.5" "Cavalry" model, but the "Shootout Barrel" and "Precision Barrel" modifications turn it into the 5.5" "Artillery" and 12" "Buntline Special" models respectively. When firing the weapon, the player character will fan the hammer. The Single Action Army cannot be modified with other modifications, limited only to the two barrels stated above, a stock, and a pistol grip modification.
The in-game revolver operates in strange and bizarre ways not seen on the real Single Action Army. The weapon is absurdly powerful for an antique revolver of this caliber, massively dwarfing the Bronco .44 and Deagle in stopping power despite both of them faring the other way around in reality. The extractor rod on the Peacemaker is also never used to remove spent cartridges, the player character simply opens the loading gate and puts in fresh rounds, the fired casings falling out on their own.
The Mateba 2006M was added into the game with the Alesso Heist DLC. It's called "Matever .357" in game, a reference to the butchering of the manufacturer's name in the English dub of Ghost in the Shell. It's chambered in .357 Magnum and holds a correct 6 rounds.
The IWI Jericho 941 PL was be added in the Point Break heists DLC. It's called "Baby Deagle" in game, referencing Magnum Research marketing of the Jericho as a "Baby Eagle". The weapon has the ejection port marked as 9x19 (9 Parabellum), however it has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds, indicating a .40 caliber variant. The standard 9mm variant has a capacity of 15 rounds. Additionally, the Jericho has the silver guide rod of the 941's chambered in .41 AE, if the intention was to have the Jericho chambered in that caliber, it would explain its whooping 150 damage per shot, very close to the Desert Eagle in game.
The PL can be modified with the "Spike kit" which makes it resemble the older steel framed Jericho 941 F, on top of that it can be modified with the "Spike grip" which gives it a very similar appearance as the Jericho 941 R used by Spike Spiegel in Cowboy Bebop
The Russian PL-14 Lebedev prototype pistol is another weapon added for free with the Hardcore Henry Packs DLC and is called the "White Streak Pistol" in-game. It is incorrectly depicted with a 12-round magazine capacity instead the real life 15-round capacity, even with its "Extended Magazine" mod it only brings it to 14 rounds. Judging from its ridiculously high Desert Eagle level damage it seems to be chambered in a caliber far larger than 9x19mm (which is the only caliber available), the capacity and high damage show that its stats are a copy-and-paste of the Jericho 941 RPL's stats.
The "Mark 10" is actually based on a Ingram MAC-11 and a cheap Double Eagle airsoft one at that. It is unlocked at reputation level 2. It holds an incorrect 40 rounds in a short 16-round MAC-11 magazine and the Extended Magazine attachment gives it a 32-round magazine that increases the capacity to 48.
The Heckler & Koch MP5 returns from Payday: The Heist, again known as the "Compact-5" and still in use by some SWAT units. It is unlocked at reputation level 13 and starts out as an MP5A4 but can be changed, via the combination of different mods, into a MP5A5, MP5/10, MP5SD5, MP5SD6, or MP5KA4. The Cloaker enemy has a cut down pseudo MP5/40 with an A3 stock and various mods that only they can use, as of update 61 however, it's possible to use the MP5 with 10mm ammo. The actual weapon is not converted into an actual MP5/10 however, as it lacks the bolt release.
As of update 97.4, it's possible to dual wield MP5s. These dual-wielded MP5s lack stocks and it is not possible to attach them.
The B&T MP9 appears as the "CMP" and is unlocked at reputation level 19, in reference to the Steyr TMP lookalike in the Nintendo 64 title Perfect Dark. It has an unfortunate niche in the stat rankings where it's not able to muster enough brawn to plug heavier SWAT in single headshots, but isn't quite small enough to pocket for stealth tasks either. What makes it such a hidden gem are the terrific accuracy and stability for its fire rate, which mean that it can put three rounds into a helmet where other SMGs could only place one before jumping off mark. The quick reload, deep ammo pool and agreeable hipfire performance are just further perks.

It looks uncannily like the current MP9-NA3 - N for NATO (9x19mm) and A3 for folding stock with gripless rail. The only crimp is the missing fire selection dial. It'd normally sit near the magazine release in thumb's reach, but this one uses the older double-stage trigger contraption.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThese accessories are all official B&T extras, excluding the TangoDown vertical foregrip. The "Solid Stock" comes standard in the MP9N-A4 model, the 30-round "Extended Magazine" is an option, the Aimpoint Micro TL a.k.a. "Professional's Sight" is officially endorsed by B&T and the massive proprietary "Tactical Suppressor" is a reminder that Brügger & Thomet started out in the business of making silencers. The last one in the bunch come along only recently in the Butcher's Mod Pack.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe typical kinds of extras.

As can be expected for such a low-profile machine pistol, the sights aren't too fast to use over a distance. The aiming modules clamped on the side are much more obtrusive using the irons than with an optical sights, which sit much higher on top of the gun.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAlthough its new animations are much less showy, even the CMP magazines got their shiny chrome bullets.

The big tan TangoDown foregrip on the CMP wasn't there from the start - it was added in a patch during the first few months after release, held before that with a tight two-hand grip like the Mark 10 is. The sidearms carried by FBI Heavy Response Shields didn't have to conform to that change.
FN P90 TR
The FN P90 TR appears as the "Kobus 90" and is unlocked at reputation level 36. It has the highest magazine size of any secondary, but only comes with a total of three mags. If the Long Barrel mod is put on the gun, it will resemble the PS90 TR, the civilian carbine version. As of the First Person Animations Update, the P90's magazine is now translucent and visibly empties as the gun is fired
The Thompson M1928 with a 50-round "L" drum magazine was added in the December 3, 2014 patch and is unlocked at level 14 for members of the Payday 2 Steam group. Along with the P90, it has the highest magazine size of any SMG in the game, but its accuracy and damage are rather low without modifications. It is one of 3 select-fire guns (one of two secondaries, alongside the Glock 18) that does not get the fire-mode locking mods.
The Carl Gustav M/45 is named the "Swedish K SMG" in game and incorrectly holds 40 rounds in the magazine instead of 36, though it is inaccurate and carries only 80 total rounds. It is available for purchase to anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. The in-game weapon is based on the military version of the M/45, as evident by the lack of a fire selector.
The Heckler & Koch MP7A2 appears as the "Spec-Ops SMG" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Gage Weapon Pack #01 DLC. It comes with its 20-round magazine by default and the Extended Mag mod gives it a 40-round magazine that only holds 32 rounds.
The Sa. Vz.61 Skorpion appears as the "Cobra" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Hotline Miami DLC. Its "Extended Magazine" modification is odd, increasing the magazine size from 20 to 40 rounds despite simply being a second magazine clamped to the side of the one in the gun, somehow it feeds from both at the same time.
An Intratec TEC-9 modified to allow for fully-automatic firing appears as the "Blaster 9mm" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Hotline Miami DLC. It holds 20 rounds by default and it's Extended Magazine modification gives it a correct 32 rounds.
In-game, it operates in strange ways uncharacteristic of the real TEC-9, the weapon fires from a closed bolt, meaning that it could be based on the US-import KG-9 model. The KG-9 was forced to be converted to a closed-bolt firearm by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and Explosives (ATF) before the weapon could be marketed in the United States. The closed bolt would make the full automatic conversion unfeasible, which is an intended feature of the forced redesign as to discourage users from illegally modifying their TEC-9s. It is also capable of selective-firing, which is a highly unusual trait, that few illegal gunsmiths would implement into a weapon when converting from semi to fully-automatic. This also suggest that the Blaster could be partially based on the Interdynamic MP9, the parent design of the TEC-9.
However, Payday 2 depicts several open-bolt firearms (the MAC-10, Uzi, AA-12, M/45) as firing from a closed bolt, so the TEC-9 having a closed-bolt in-game could (and probably is) simply a mistake made by whoever modeled the weapon. As for the select-fire capability, once again, either a mistake or the devs decided to add it for gameplay reasons and didn't care that it doesn't make sense, which would be feasible considering how little sense the game makes overall.
The IMI Uzi appears as the "Uzi" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Hotline Miami DLC. It holds 30 rounds instead of 32 and comes equipped with the distinctive "K" foregrip by default.
The Sterling L2A1 appears as the "Patchett L2A1" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Gage Historical Pack DLC. It also holds an incorrect 20 bullets in the standard 34-round magazine.
The Sterling L34A1 is used if the Sterling L2A1 is equipped with the "Suppressed Barrel" modification. Like the Sterling L2A1, it incorrectly holds 20 rounds which can be modified to 30, closer to the correct 34.
The Cobray M11/9 appears as "Jacket's Piece" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Jacket Character Pack. It holds a correct 32 rounds and has a after-market vertical foregrip in place of the barrel nut.
File:Payday2 -hd1- Cobray M119 variant 1.jpgModified Version of the Cobray M11/9. The unique skin modification (called the "80s Calling" in game) shows some coloration and images from the Hotline Miami games, as well as the face of those games' character Richard.File:Payday2 -hd1- Cobray M119 variant 2.jpgModified Version of the Cobray M11/9. The markings denote the weapon as a "Jacket's Piece", which seems somewhat odd for an official name. They also seem to state the caliber incorrectly as "6mm", and state its manufacturer to be "Hotline Improving Corpses" in Miami, FL.
KRISS Vector(**)
The KRISS Vector was added with the Gage Ninja Pack DLC. It's called "Kross Vertex" in-game. It can be modified with a long barrel to make it resemble the Vector CRB, which is the civilian semi-auto only variant. The weapon also has its own unique suppressor. The weapon holds 30 rounds in the "25+"-round magazines.
The SR-2M Veresk was added along with the Jimmy character from the free Hardcore Henry Packs DLC, with his voice and likeness given by Sharlto Copley from the movie Hardcore Henry. The weapon is called "Heather" ingame, which is Veresk translated to English. It's notably the first subgun that can be dual-wielded. It has a slightly incorrect magazine capacity of 32 rounds instead of the real-world 30, likely because the stats are a copy-and-paste (sans the rate of fire and stability) of the Cobray M11/9 (Jacket's Piece)
The Heckler & Koch UMP45 is used only by some NPCs, namely the GenSec Elite SWAT and the Murkywater PMC enemies. It is unavailable for player use at the present time.
The K23 and AKMSU count as SMG's in-game, but are actually carbines, therefor their entries will appear here.
Colt Model 733
The Colt Model 733, fitted with an A2-style receiver and 6-position stock, appears as the AMCAR, the very first primary weapon. Originally, its damage output was outright miserable compared to every other long arm and little could be done to fix it. Dumped as soon as possible, but kept by few as a voluntary handicap. After the big 2015 Crimefest weapon balance update, it now has higher damage output, on par with the G36K (JP36), which has a bit lower than average damage for an assault rifle in the game. Given the influence of Heat on the production, the highly specific choice of model probably isn't a coincidence.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingColt Model 733 - 5.56x45mm. Note, the Model 733 does not appear to have a set specification from Colt, and could be found with either an A1, A1E1 or A2 upper receiver, A1 or A2 lower receiver, and a coated aluminum or fiberlite stock. This particular rifle has an A2 lower, an A1E1 upper (forward assist and case deflector with A1 sights as found on Canadian Colts), and a coated aluminium stock.Error creating thumbnail: File missingUnmodified Model 733, aside from the "Mil-Spec" magazine.

Izhmash AKS-74
The Izhmash AKS-74 is the second primary weapon unlocked, at reputation level 1. It's simply called AK Rifle and holds 30 rounds. It can become a regular AK-74 if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.
The Colt M4A1 appears as the "CAR-4" and is unlocked at reputation level 4. Essentially it is an upgrade of the starting Model 733 and features tan flip-up iron sights, KAC-style free-float railed foregrip, and a railed low-profile gasblock. It is frequently used by law enforcers and holds 30 rounds. The NPC-exclusive model for this weapon features some small differences from player-used ones, such as a laser unit mounted on top of the railed handguard, instead of the side like on the player available M4A1. As in the first Payday, this weapon is still used by SWAT Snipers, despite there being more appropriate weapon models available, though the FBI Files claims them to be chambered in higher-caliber rounds than the normal weapon.
The M4A1 has a ridiculous amount of modifications available (albeit most of them are locked behind DLC) which means it can be modified to fit many different roles. These modifications, if put together correctly, can make the M4A1 resemble a whole host of different real world AR variants.
The Steyr AUG A2 is at reputation level 8 and is named the "UAR" (presumably short for Universal Army Rifle). It holds 30 rounds and is rather accurate and powerful. It can be fitted with a railed fore end to make it resemble an AUG A3, but the rifle still lacks the bolt release of an A3. Oddly, instead of its build-in folding foregrip it has a section of rail added to the hinge and an aftermarket vertical grip attached to said rail.
Upon launch, the rifle can be seen using a Magpul PMAG, which suggests it was not based entirely on an authentic AUG. After the animation update, however, it gains the AUG's proprietary magazine.
As of update 61, the Raptor polymer body was added as a mod for the weapon, this mod will give the weapon the appearance of the Thales F90.
The Izhmash AKMS appears as the AK.762 and is unlocked at reputation level 16.It holds 30 rounds and has less total ammunition than the AKS-74. A golden version of this weapon with diamond plating on the wooden handguard was released as a community reward, though is more expensive and has a lower concealment stat with no other differences. It can become a AKM if the "Classic Stock" from The Butcher's AK/CAR Mod Pack is equipped.
The Heckler & Koch G36KV makes an appearance as the "JP36", unlocked as early as level 16. The damage output stays mediocre no matter what, but its main draws are easy recoil, solid accuracy, and a deep 240 round ammo pool.

The option of installing a "Sniper Stock" from a civilian SR8 is an odd choice and makes the right-hand side fire selector vanish, but increases accuracy nonetheless.

Olympic Arms K23
The Para SMG is unlocked at reputation level 19. A very competent and modifiable gun, it can easily cover whatever a gimmick primary weapon might lack - like a pocket CAR-4, albeit with worse concealability potential. It is a confusing mix of half-dozen different ultra-short AR-15 pistols and carbines, but since the game assets label it as "olympia", that's the headline.
Olympic Arms K23B
The basic look of the gun is closest to the OA K23B ultrashort carbine. However, the removable carry handle and RIS are featured only in its sister OA K23B Tactical, the emergency wire stock is taken from an M231 FPW and the original aluminium foregrip has been extended over the gas block to make it a dead ringer with a round-front type La France M16K. The name itself may be a dim reference to the fact that most of the involved guns have 9x19mm variants as well, but that's reaching.
Attaching a Milspec Magazine and a Standard Stock bring the Olympic Arms K23B closest to its retail shape.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe older Para was a rather average SMG without being able to excel in any one area, but the 1st person animation update granted it a new lease of life by way of a lightning-fast reload.
Olympic Arms K23P
Buying a Bare Essentials Stock for extra concealment removes the wire stock and leaves only the buffer tube behind. This combined with the old A2 flash hider out it as the Olympic Arms K23P, a semiauto pistol version of the same caliber.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThe wire stock secretly improves recoil control by +1. The in-game stat screens say that the stripped tube stock has no drawbacks, but memory hacking reveals otherwise. Note the further concealing Straight Grip.
M4 CQBR / Mk 18 Mod 0
Attaching a Medium Barrel for extra accuracy and replacing the basic handguard with something else makes the Para finally look like an actual assault rifle. However, the barrel's rather specific ~10" length (falls just short of the 11.5" AMCAR) makes the most American option the Mk. 18 Mod 0, ignoring the lack of a gas block/front sight and the too short foregrip.

Using a flashlight to make enemies pop out of a slightly dim background helps even during day heists.
Springfield Armory M14
A Springfield Armory M14 with a McMillan M2A stock and a short 16" barrel appears as the "M308" as in the first Payday. It is set to semi-auto by default but can be switched to full-auto and holds 10 rounds. Prior to the first Gage Weapon Pack release, it was semi-automatic only, making it the only assault rifle to have the mode; as of then, it is now the only weapon with multiple fire modes that defaults to semi-auto. The weapon can be modified with a JAE 100 G3 stock or a SAGE EBR Chassis, the later makes it resemble a Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR.
A variant on the Izhmash AKMSU is unlocked at reputation level 29 and is named the "Krinkov," the nickname of the AKS-74U. It holds 30 rounds and is a secondary weapon, rather than a primary like the other three Kalashnikov rifles.
As of update 97.4, it's possible to dual wield AKMSUs. These dual-wielded AKMSUs lack stocks and it is not possible to attach any
The whole Bofors Ak 5 family appears as the AK5, all packed inside one gun's upgrade selection. Its accuracy and recoil are solid from the start, but the low damage needs help to reach its best. Unlocked at level 33.
Sticking on the "Bertil Stock" from the designated marksman model turns the AK5 into an ersatz Bofors Ak 5B.
Error creating thumbnail: File missingThis DMR stock is enough to boost shot accuracy. The stock foregrip doesn't get rails, the components just sort of clamp on.
Ak 5C

Colt M16A4
The Colt M16A4 with a short barrel appears as the "AMR-16" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. It is shown with a safe/semi/auto selective fire capability, meaning it was based on the export International Model R0901, and incorrectly holds 30 rounds in a 20-round magazine. It can be equipped with an M16A1 handguard with the Blast From The Past modification. Unlike the other AR-15 type rifles, the M16's gas block and front sight disappear when using optics.
The SIG SG 552-2 appears as the "Commando 553" (referring to the SG553 instead) and is available to purchase by anyone who owns the Armored Transport DLC. It Holds 30 rounds. The rifle can be confirmed as a 552-2 by the permanent scope rail, the simple, folding front and rear iron sights instead of the original sights of the SIG assault rifle series, and the proprietary SG 552 exclusive bolt handle. As of the First Person Animations Update, the weapon's magazine is translucent and visibly empties when firing, rather than being solid brown
The FN SCAR-H appears as the "Eagle Heavy Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Weapon Pack #1 DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a powerful weapon. A version with a FN SSR stock is used by some Murkywater PMC enemies.
The FN FAL appears as the "Falcon Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Big Bank DLC. It holds 20 rounds and is a very flexible weapon. Notably, the FAL was the first weapon to have its accessories linked to DLC achievements rather than random drops. It notably has a DSA railed upper-receiver.
Attaching the "Retro Foregrip" and "Wooden Stock" to the FAL allows it to impersonate the IMI Romat (although the FAL rear sight, DSA upper-receiver, and barrel remain the same).
The FAMAS F1 appears as the "Clarion Rifle" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Gage Assault Pack DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds instead of 25.
The FAMAS G1 is used if the "G2 Grip" is equipped on the FAMAS F1 (Before Update #37, "G2 Grip" was called "Retro Grip" although the FAMAS G1 is newer model of FAMAS F1). Like the FAMAS F1, It still incorrectly holds 30 rounds.
The 7.62mm variants of IMI Galil ARM appears as the "Gecko 7.62" rifle and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Assault Pack DLC. It incorrectly holds 30 rounds instead of 25, a higher than real life ROF, and is shown with an unusable bipod extended
A IMI Galil MAR/Galil 7.62 Hybrid is created if the Galil ARM is equipped with the "CQB Foregrip" and "Skeletal Stock" modification. Like the Galil ARM, It still incorrectly holds 30 rounds.
The IMI Galil Sniper Rifle is used if the Galil ARM is equipped with the "Sniper Foregrip" and "Sniper Stock" modification. Like the Galil ARM, It still incorrectly holds 30 rounds.
The Heckler & Koch G3A3 with a Heckler & Koch HK21 machine gun's stock appears as the "Gewehr 3 Rifle" and is available to purchase for owners of the Gage Assault Pack DLC. It holds 20 rounds, has quite a bit of recoil and stopping power. It can be mocked up as a PSG-1 lookalike with the Precision stock, grip, foregrip, and the DMR kit, the latter giving the gun the PSG-like barrel, trigger, and 10 round magazine.
The Enfield L85A2 was added alongside the Clover Character Pack as the "Queen's Wrath". Notably, it is the only select-fire capable primary (and one of three select-fire guns available in the entire game) that does not get the fire-mode locking mods. By default it holds 30 rounds and has a Grippod vertical grip.
The HS Produkt VHS-D2 was released as part of the Dragan Character Pack DLC, much like the L85A2 was part of Clover's DLC. It is known internally as the "Lion's Roar", has a high rate of fire and overall good stats, though it has a long reload time and if unmodified, high recoil.
Introduced in the Golden Grin update as a farewell gift from the Dentist, the Kel-Tec SUB-2000 appears as the "Cavity 9mm". A unique weapon to put it in gentle terms, it is a pistol caliber carbine primary weapon that achieves the damage level of a light sniper rifle using 9x19mm rounds. It fires exclusively in semi-auto as it does in real life and correctly holds 33-rounds in the extended Glock magazine with a +2 base-plate it uses. For some reason it is modeled without the red plastic blade in the front sight.

The weapon is missing the red plastic blade in its front ring sight, making precise shooting a bit difficult. In real life the front sight blade is notorious for falling out or breaking off easily.
Heckler & Koch HK416C(**)
The Heckler & Koch HK416C was added with the Sydney character pack. It actually goes by two names in-universe. The rifle is called SG416C but Sydney renamed it "Bootleg Rifle" after apparently buying from a blackmarket arms trader behind a gas station in Australia. Sydney also has a tattoo of the carbine on her left arm. It is permanently fitted with a 100-round Beta C-Mag and a Magpul RVG vertical foregrip.
The CZ 805 BREN A1 was added with the Biker Heist Packs and called the "CR 805B" in-game. It's strangely categorized as an SMG and is therefor a secondary weapon. It's fitted with a non-removable Magpul MVG foregrip. It has a factory gray and black two-tone finish and is fitted with a STANAG magwell (which can also be a factory option). It can be given a shorter barrel that turns the rifle into an A2 model.
A Remington Model 870 Field Gun is called the "Reinfeld 880" and is unlocked at reputation level 8, it has synthetic furniture instead of wood and it has a pistol gripped stock. It's the first unlockable shotgun. It holds 6 shells and is used by law enforcers, Hotline Miami mobsters, Russian mercs, and the basic green Bulldozer.
A stubby variant of the Remington Model 870 Field Gun is unlocked at reputation level 13 and is called the "Locomotive 12G". It holds 6 shells in what appears to be a 3-round tube and was the only secondary shotgun prior to DLC and patches. It is overall similar to its full-sized counterpart, but has slightly higher damage and a higher rate of fire but shorter range and lower accuracy.
The Izhmash Saiga-12K appears as the ninth primary weapon, and is shown as being fully-automatic with select fire available. Prior to the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC, it was the only semi-auto shotgun in the game. The model is not an actual Saiga-12K, but is rather a hybrid taking several components from the AKMS. Firstly it features a standard ribbed AKM top cover, rather than the smooth cover used on the Saiga which has a larger ejection port with a sprung sliding cover over the rear portion. Secondly it has an under-folding AKMS stock which was not available on the Saiga. Lastly the receiver is a hybrid of an AKMS one and a Saiga, with the magazine release being immediately ahead of the trigger guard and receiver dimples above the magazine, but with a Saiga-12 style front trunion (lacking the corresponding rivets however). It is called the "IZHMA 12G" and is unlocked at reputation level 26 and holds 7 shells. It is notably used by a Bulldozer variant called the "Killdozer" that wears black armor. His model of Saiga-12K uniquely has an unobtainable black solid stock, and before it was removed in a patch, a drum magazine. The Saiga-12K is also used by the FBI informant that sold out the gang in the Hoxton Revenge heist, if the informant's panic room is opened after the heist has gone loud.
A Double Barreled Shotgun appears as the "Mosconi 12G" and is unlocked at reputation level 39. Obviously it only holds two shells but is one of the most powerful weapons in the game. It has only two modifications, "Road Warrior" and "Gangsta Special," both of which saw down the barrels and stock respectively
The Sawed Off Shotgun is used when the Mosconi 12G is modified. The "Road Warrior" barrel saws the barrels down, while the "Gangsta Special" saws off the stock.
The Franchi SPAS-12 was added during Crimefest 2014 and is called the Predator 12G. It fires in semi auto and holds 6 rounds in the default short tube, the "Extended Magazine" gives it the more standard length tube but it holds an incorrect 10 rounds instead of the correct 8. It can be bought regardless of level and is unlocked by being a member of the Payday 2 Steam group.
This Over and Under Shotgun was introduced with the Bonnie Character Update in March 13th appears to be a hybrid of the Beretta S3 O/U and CZ Redhead Deluxe O/U. Named the "Joceline O/U 12G" in-game.
The Benelli M4 Super 90 appears as the "M1014" in-game, the US Military designation of the shotgun. First introduced in the Death Wish Update in the hands of some GenSec Elite SWATs, though with a fixed stock. A player-usable version was finally added in the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC. It holds 8 shells in the tube by default (as opposed to its real life counterpart's 7).
The Kel-Tec KSG, called the "Raven" in-game. As in most games, there is no tube switching or selection shown and the shotgun's magazine is treated as a single tube. Notably it is one of the most concealable shotguns in the game and has the highest capacity of any of them. Holds 14 shells and was added in the Gage Shotgun Pack DLC.
The humble fixed-drum Striker-12 appears by the family's most prestigious name; the Street Sweeper. In Overkill's usual fashion, it's a mix of all of the different versions mooshed together in a highly educated, equal measure. Unlocked at level 33, it's very capable of terminating an entire room of FBI SWAT in one 12-shot sweep, but the low damage needs specialization help to cope with Maximum Response teams. It was the only secondary-class shotgun introduced by Gage's Shotgun Pack.

The flashlight is arguably better than the laser, since the light cone not only indicates the rough shot spread, but a lit-up target also means they're inside the shotgun's effective range.
MPS AA-12 CQB(**)
Added with the release of The Butcher's BBQ Pack was an MPS AA-12 CQB as evident by its short barrel, known internally as the "Steakout 12G". Comes default with a 8-round box magazine and an entirely fictional semi/auto selective fire capability as all extant AA-12 models are capable of fully automatic fire only. Its in-game rate of fire of 300 matches that of the real weapon.
Optional enhancements includes a 20-round drum, a long barrel, and custom integral suppressor. When any optics are mounted it gains a railed mount with a useless shell rack on the left side, replacing the whole rear sight.
Along with the Goat Simulator DLC (where do they get these ideas?) a full-size Ithaca 37 was added, oddly as a secondary weapon. Called GSPS 12G in-game. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in the standard 4-round tube magazine.
The Winchester Model 1887 was added with the Biker Character Packs and is called the "Breaker 12G" in-game. It starts out in a sawn-off form, but can be modified to have its full stock restored and be fitted with ether a long barrel or have the barrel and mag tube cut down significantly with the short barrel option. It incorrectly holds 7 rounds in its 5-round tube magazine. Though Model 1887s can actually hold 5+2 by placing a shell in the chamber than placing a second shell on the loading ramp in the receiver, this action is not done when reloading the in-game Model 1887, the player characters simply loading seven shells into the tube magazine.
The "Gage Weapon Pack #02" downloadable content pack introduced three light machine guns to the players' arsenal. The "Gage Historical Pack" introduced the MG-42 and The "Crimefest 2015" introduced the Ksp 58. The weapons can only be hip-fired and are very inaccurate. The bipods cannot be unfolded without the Lion Bipod attachment, introduced during CrimeFest 2015, which greatly stabilizes the weapon but immobilizes the player and restricts their field of fire to a roughly ninety-degree arc.
While they are all categorized as LMG's in game, the MG42 and FN M240 are actually GPMG (General Purpose Machine Guns)
Izhmash RPK(**)
The RPK appears as the "RPK" and is immediately unlocked at the start, on reputation level 0. It incorrectly holds 100 rounds in a 75-round drum magazine. The weapon comes lightly modified with a pair of small Picatinny rails on each side on the front portion of the barrel, an elongated birdcage-style flash hider, and a Romanian AIMS rifle handguard featuring a vertical grip.
The M249 Para appears as the "KSP" and is unlocked at reputation level 45. It has a 200-round detachable ammo drum. It is also the weapon of choice for the Skulldozer special enemy and the Commissar, the target of the Hotline Miami DLC heist.
Returning from the previous installment, the Heckler & Koch HK21E appears as the "Brenner 21" and is unlocked at reputation level 75. It has a 150-round detachable belt box magazine. It has a MP5-style rear-sight rather than the 21E's real rear sight. It has a front grip that's tilted to the left in order to making it easier to hold.
The MG 42 appears as the "Buzzsaw 42" and is unlocked for purchase by buying the Gage Historical Pack DLC. It incorrectly holds 150 rounds in a 50-round drum magazine and has the highest rate of fire of the LMGs.
Although it's called "Ksp 58" in-game, after the Swedish version of the FN MAG 58 and even has the distinctive Swedish green lacquer finish, it is actually modeled after the M240, denoted by the short flash-hider, carry handle design, sights, the railed feed tray cover of the B model, and the stock design (both the default wood stock and the plastic stock use the same model). It was added on day 5 of "Crimefest 2015" and along with it the ability to use a bipod with Machine Guns.
The 'Gage Sniper Pack' downloadable content introduced 3 new weapons to the players' arsenal. All 3 weapons (the Remington MSR, Blaser R93 LRS2, and Barrett M95) are slow-firing but powerful bolt action sniper rifles, featuring 2 unique scopes and a 45-degree offset iron sight attachment. All 3 are capable of firing through certain objects, such as thin walls or police riot shields. This also applies to the Mosin-Nagant and Winchester Model 1873, which were released later. Along with the Point Break heists update, the character Bodhi and a Winchester Model 70 was added for free to anyone who downloaded the update.
Remington MSR (**)
The Remington MSR appears as the "Rattlesnake" and is unlocked at reputation level 15. It is featured either with a default and non-standard wooden body or the optional and proper aluminium alloy body. It uses a 10 round magazine.
The Blaser R93 LRS2 Precision Sniper Rifle appears as the "R93" and is unlocked at reputation level 35. It is featured either with a default polymer or optional wooden body. It uses a 6-round magazine (one more than it holds real life).
The Barrett M95 appears as the "Thanatos" and is unlocked at reputation level 65. It uses a 5 round magazine. Notably, it was the strongest weapon in the entire game upon its release, and the second most powerful one so far, having an astounding damage stat of 2900, second only to the RPG-7 included with the OVERKILL Pack, which deals a solid 10000 damage per shot.
The Mosin Nagant M1907 Carbine is seen as the "Mosin-Nagant" and is part of the Gage Historical Pack DLC. Unlike the first three sniper rifles of the game, it can use ironsights, a trait shared with the Winchester 1873 and Model 70.
The Walther WA 2000 was added with the Gage Ninja Pack DLC. It's called "Lebensauger .308" in game, which can roughly be translated from German to "life-sucker". The actual WA 2000 is chambered in .300 Winchester or 7.5x55mm Swiss, so the .308 in the name wrongly suggest the weapon is chambered in .308. The magazine in game holds 10 rounds even though it's modeled after the standard 6-round magazine.
The Winchester Model 1873 appears in the game as the "Repeater 1874" and is part of the "Butchers Western Pack" DLC. Oddly enough, despite being chambered entirely for pistol-grade ammunition types, it is classified as a sniper rifle, and thus can penetrate thin walls and shields. Like the Mosin-Nagant it can use, and starts out with, iron sights. It can be modified with a long barrel, suppressed barrel, and a unique magnified scope. However, it can not be customized with modern modifications like lasers and sights besides the one unique to it.
The M79 was added in the Gage Assault pack DLC. It's called the GL40 in-game, same as the first Payday. It is possible to hurt or kill one's own team members with it, so it pays to be careful when using it. Additionally, the grenades have no arming distance and can be shoot out of the air by gunfire from police. This can be especially dangerous as the grenade can be shot and detonated the split-second it's fired, leading to the user getting hurt.
All the grenade launchers deal the same damage, 340.
The front leaf sight on the M79 model acts as a built-in gadget, and pressing the enable gadget key (default "G"), allows the player to fire grenades at a much higher arc than usual.
The Butcher's BBQ Pack added a Milkor MGL Mk 1L to the game, called Piglet in-game. Unlike the other grenade launchers, the Mk 1 can be modified with sights, gadgets and more then one different stock.
The RPG-7 was added in the Overkill Pack. It has the highest damage of any weapon in the game at an astounding 10000, but the player can only carry 4 rockets in total and ammo pickups are disabled, meaning more rockets can only be obtained from ammo bags. The weapon can easily incapacitate the user and their whole team if fired recklessly and rockets can be detonated mid-flight if it's hit by enemy fire, something that happens a lot on more intense heists.
The China Lake Launcher, known as the "China Puff" in game, was added in the Wolf Pack (the pack is free for anyone who bought the DLC back in the first Payday). Like the RPG, it's a secondary weapon.
C4 could originally only be used with the right Technician skills. As of Update 100, any player can use C4 by equipping Laser Tripmines, which come with a separate set of C4 charges. Laser Tripmines are powerful explosives that detonate when an enemy crosses the laser beam, or they can be toggled to merely act as a sensor device and mark special enemies or security guards that pass by, along with an audio cue. They can also be upgraded to leave a wake of fire upon detonation. C4 charges are kept separate from Tripmines (in contrast to pre-Update 100, where a single charge used up a Tripmine) and are used to open doors and safes quickly. Some heists (such as The Bomb heists, Hotline Miami, and more) have a bag of C4 charges in the map to use for scripted objectives, these are treated as mission items rather that deployable equipment
The M18 smoke grenade is used by law enforcers at times. The Commissar in Hotline Miami also uses one when fought. The same model is also used for the flash bangs that law enforcers love to use all too frequently.
The M67 hand grenade is only usable by players with the first Gage Weapon Pack DLC, unless they buy the Grenade Case for their team during a heist. Grenades have a fairly wide blast radius that can go through walls, and they will stun enemies that aren't killed outright. Players can carry up to three and should be careful, as they can easily cause civilian kills or friendly fire if handled improperly. Notably, it's possible for enemies to shoot the grenades in mid-air, causing immediate detonation. All grenades are shown with the red Overkill bomb logo painted on the side.
Update 100 added another version of the grenade called the "HEF Grenade" that can be used by any player following the Steam group for Payday 2, and have identical stats to the DLC grenades. These grenades are visually distinct, having a black body with a yellow stripe and text, and a red Overkill bomb attached to the pin
The Model 24 Stielhandgranate was added to the game in the Gage Historical Pack, and is referred to in game as the "Potato Masher". Unlike the M67, it is not used as a thrown explosive, but rather as a melee weapon, similar to the Demoman's "Ullapool Caber" from Team Fortress 2.
A Hand Held M134 Minigun was added in the Overkill Pack DLC, and has the highest rate-of-fire of any weapon. It holds a total of 750 rounds, and has to be refilled via ammo bag deployables. Like LMGs, having the weapon equipped results in a movement speed penalty. As usual in video games and films, the weapon appears to have no power source.
The Heckler & Koch MP5K appears as part of the Technician's Sentry Gun deployable, seen inside a case. As in the first game, the Sentry Gun can be destroyed by enemies and will shut down when its ammunition supply is exhausted. Aside from the Sentry, the MP5K can be used by modifying the MP5, as seen above. In Update 100, this model was replaced with a new Sentry Gun using a FN P90 as its base.
A Browning M2HB machine gun is the main armament of the SWAT van turret weapons system. It is incorrectly depicted firing at almost twice its actual rate of fire at exactly 1000rpm, 600rpm is the max fire rate of a real Browning M2, and (thankfully for gameplay purposes) it does pitifully low damage for a .50 cal machine gun. It does however shred armor very quickly on higher difficulties. Though the rate of fire is befitting of the Browning M3 Aircraft, it is obviously modeled after an M2 and not the M3. The SWAT Van Turret itself appears to be a modified version of a C.R.O.W.S II RWS. The Browning M2HB is a very commonly used weapon for this kind of weapon system.
