I haven't got the game (I DL'ed the demo of PSN, but it turns out I suck at modern/future RTS war games), but I'm gonna try and do a bit of house-cleaning of the page. I also used the game website as a source for a couple of new weapons I added to the article. [http://endwargame.us.ubi.com/faction-jsf.php] Please note that I wasn't sure if I should classify the M268 6.8mm minigun as either an M134 or an XM214. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 19:54, 19 September 2009 (UTC) | |||
:And I went by this screenshot ([http://www.gamespot.com/xbox360/strategy/tomclancysendwar/images/6200349/3/?path=2008%2F303%2Freviews%2F939208_20081030_embed003.jpg&caption=The%2BJoint%2BStrike%2BForce%2Bis%2Bthe%2Bfirst%2Bcombat%2Bunit%2Bto%2Butilize%2Bpowered%2Bexoskeletons.&cvr=DkX.]) when determining which version of the SCAR was used. And note the M268 minigun used by the automatic rifleman (would he still be an "automatic rifleman" with a weapon like that?) in the background. [[User:Spartan198|Spartan198]] 20:05, 19 September 2009 (UTC) | |||
The way I look at it, the M268 isn't an M134 nor an XM214. Neither one of those weapons is chambered for a 6.8MM round and has only three barrels. The M134 and XM214 both have six barrels. It can't even be argued that three of the barrels were removed similar to the M197 being a three barreled version of the M61 Vulcan, because the barrel cluster on the M268 is too tight to fit another three barrels. The weapon is a purely fictional Gatling gun, inspired by the hand held Minigun seen in films like Predator and apparently the M56 Smart Gun from Aliens. | |||
== AN-94 == | |||
ok the gun used by the russian spetnaz looks more like the AN-94 then the AEK-971 | |||
It's an AK-74M with a modified muzzle break. The game lore says so and close inspection will reveal that it most resembles an AK in game. | |||
ok thanks i could not figer out what it was --[[User:Armyguy277|Armyguy277]] 13:30, 18 April 2010 (UTC) | |||

'''The following weapons can be seen in the video game ''EndWar'':''' | |||
__TOC__<br clear=all> | |||
=Assault Rifles= | |||
==FN SCAR-H== | |||
The [[FN_SCAR#FN_SCAR-H|SCAR-H]] chambered in 6.8x43mm appears as the "SCAR A1" and is the standard combat rifle of JSF troops. The design of it is a hybrid with the trigger unit of the prototype 1st gen model while the rest of the design is the production 3rd gen model. A similar hybrid model later appeared in ''[[Splinter Cell: Conviction]]''. The in-game SCAR is not produced by Fabrique Nationale de Herstal, because US officials declared it to be a different design with its own patent and handed the contracts to American manufacturers. It was previously claimed on the game website that JSF Engineers used a compact carbine version called the "SCAR A1C", but in-game they instead use the standard model. | |||

[[File:EndWar-JSF-SCAR-1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|JSF soldiers move forward with their SCARs.]] | |||
==Heckler & Koch XM8== | |||
The [[Heckler & Koch XM8]] was intended to be used by US JSF soldiers and appeared in various pieces of concept art and one of the trailers, but was replaced in gameplay by the FN SCAR-H because the developers felt it was overused. [http://blogs.ign.com/Ubisoft_EndWar/2008/04/21/87363/]. It still appears in the game via cutscenes such as the JSF faction's victory cutscene, however. | |||

==FN F2000== | |||
The [[FN F2000]] chambered in a new 7mm NATO round is one of the standard weapons of the Enforcers Corps, called the "E3000 carbine" and also mounts a GL1 EGLM grenade launcher in-game. | |||
[[Image:F2000.jpg|thumb|none|500px|FN F2000 5.56x45mm NATO]] | |||
[[Image:EFEC F2000.jpg|thumb|none|600px]] | |||
==AK-74M== | |||
The [[AK-74M]] is the standard assault rifle for the Spetznaz Brigade. It is equipped with some sort of scope and can be upgraded with a GP series grenade launcher. The use of such a small round (5.45mm) is an exclusion from the Russian tendency to use superior firepower in-game. You would expect them to use 7.62mm (compare to US' 6.8mm and EF's 7mm), since they use dual 57mm cannons on IFVs, 152mm cannons on tanks and not one but ''two'' guns on their artillery, ''et cetera.'' | |||

[[Image:Frech army.png|thumb|none|600px]] | |||

==Barrett M107== | |||

==Denel NTW-20== | |||
The European Federation Enforcer Corps rifle looks like a [[Mechem NTW-20|Denel NTW-20]]. Its penetration is inferior to the US rifle, so it is '''not''' the real Denel (which is at least 14.5). | |||

=Machine Guns= | |||
==Hand-Held Minigun== | |||
A hand-held (although used by troops wearing powered exoskeletons) self-powered Gatling gun chambered in 6.8x43mm, known in-game as the M268 SAW, is used in the squad support role by JSF forces. | |||

The following weapons can be seen in the video game EndWar:

Heckler & Koch XM8
The Heckler & Koch XM8 was intended to be used by US JSF soldiers and appeared in various pieces of concept art and one of the trailers, but was replaced in gameplay by the FN SCAR-H because the developers felt it was overused.
