List of firearms used by Salvadoran Armed Forces (Complete... For Now)

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 the Talk:List of firearms used by Polish Armed Forces for more infomation). Copy-pasting this list is STRICTLY PROHIBITED, if you see this page with this exact format on any other site that is not IMFDB, report it to me or contact any IMFDB Admins ASAP, You can, however, link and use this page as reference and give credit as it is due, do NOT ask me to create an official page for a List of firearms used by the Salvadoran Army (we have more than enough of those on the internet), PERIOD, NO. EXEPTIONS.

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 not until 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 re-armament 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 :)

WARNING: THIS BLOG CONTAINS SPOILERS FOR THE GAME, IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED THE GAME, DO IT NOW BEFORE READING THIS, YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!

Sidearms

Weapon in-game Notes
"M9"
  • Standing in for the M9, the Beretta 92SB appears in-game as the sidearm of:
  • Middle Eastern OpFor (it is unknown from which Middle Eastern army the OpFor was inspired or based on, it is presumably either the Iraqui Army or Saudi Arabian Army or even a combination of both, for the sake of simplicity, realism and weapon variety, i will use the Iraqi and Saudi Arabian Army arsenals for reference)
  • Russian Army Loyalists
  • U.S. Marine Corps (1st Reconnaissance Battalion specificaly)
  • Ultranationalists (Incorrectly refered as the Spetsnaz in multiplayer)
  • Model in-game of the Beretta 92SB is slighly smaller than it's real life counterpart and the Magazine has a non-flat baseplate.
  • Incorrectly classified as the M9.
  • Incorrectly used by:
  • Middle Eastern OpFor
  • Russian Army Loyalists
  • U.S. Marine Corps (Kind of...)
  • S.A.S. (Kind of, Is in the Holsters of Price and Gaz which magicaly changes into a USP .45 for some reason)
  • Ultranationalists
  • Better Choices:
"USP .45"
  • Middle Eastern OpFor (a single "USP .45" appears on a table full of weapons on the first stage on the mission "Charlie Don't Surf")
  • S.A.S. (22nd Regiment specificaly)
  • Model in-game has some visual alterations including:
  • An incorrect extended barrel
  • An unusable Viridian X5L Gen 1 Laser Sight/Flashlight combo
  • A Mk 23 Rear Sight
  • At some point durning the development of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, the USP .45 was supposed to be a Heckler & Koch Mark 23, but it was changed to a Heckler & Koch USP for unknown reasons.
  • Incorrectly used by:
  • Middle Eastern OpFor (how did they even got one?)
  • S.A.S.
  • Better Choices:
Desert Eagle
  • The IMI/MR Desert Eagle XIX appears in-game, one two-tone Desert Eagle appears in the Armory on the S.A.S. in the Training Mission "F.N.G." for no apparent reason, another one used by one single Ultranationalist in the Mission "Crew Expendable" and besides multiplayer, it is the only level in the game that the Desert Eagle can be used, one Desert Eagle is given by Imran Zakhaev to Khaled Al-Asad to execute President Yasir Al-Fulani and Imran Zakhaev uses the Desert Eagle as his sidearm of choice durning the final Mission "Game Over".
"M1911 .45"
  • An "M1911 .45" appears in-game as the main sidearm of "Soap" McTavish, Price in the Mission "Hunted", Victor Zakhaev (Imran Zakhaev son) in the Mission "The Sins of The Father" and the U.S. Marine Corps in the Missions "The Bog" (albeit very rarely), "War Pig" and "Shock and Awe".

  • A Stainless barrel bushing
  • A Black guide rod
  • A Black guide rod plug
  • Brown Simonich Gunner grips
  • Incorrectly used by almost all factions in the campaign and Victor Zakhaev.
  • Why Victor Zakhaev would use a pseudo-M1911A1 lookalike?
  • Better Choices:

  • For SSgt. Griggs: Colt Rail Gun with Stainless Steel finnish.
  • For Price and "Soap" McTavish: Ballester-Molina.

  • The British S.A.S. never adopted the MP5-N for service, it is only used by the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance.
  • Incorrectly used by the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • The only reported use of the MP5 in Russian hands was with the former K.G.B. Alpha Group in the Soviet-Afghan War, in present times, it is used by the F.S.B. Special Rapid Response Unit and the Ministry of Internal Affairs, even if the Ultranationalists did got the MP5, it would be still out-of-place that they use such a high-grade SMG, let along the N Variant.
  • Better (Additional) Choices:
  • For the
  • S.A.S.
  • U.S. Marine Corps
  • MP5A2, MP5A3, MP5K, MP5KA1 (S.A.S. only)

  • Model in-game has a H&K Diopter sights instead of the original iron sights with an unusable laser sight attached to it's side rail.
  • The magazine of the P90 is incorrectly depicted as non-translucent.
  • Anachronistic for the Mission "All Ghillied Up", the mission in question takes place in 1996, while the P90 was produced in 1993, the TR Variant of the P90 wasn't produced until 1999.
  • Incorrectly used by the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • Better Choices:
  • In General: Original P90.
  • For the Ultranationalists: PP-19 Bizon.
Škorpion
  • The Sa vz. 61 Škorpion, designated as the Skorpion, appears as the main Machine Pistol/SMG infrequently used by Russian Army Loyalists, Middle Eastern OpFor and the Ultranationalists.
  • Model in-game has markings on the side on the weapon that reads "ZASTAVA" and "YUGOSLAVIA", indicating that at some point durning development, the Skorpion was the Cz vz. 61 E/M84, a Yugoslavian produced copy of the Skorpion, it is unknown if the developers confused the Skorpion with the Cz vz. 61 E/M84, forgotten to change the pistol grip texture to the black colored grip that is unique to the Cz vz. 61 E/M84 prior to the release of the game or change the texture and model to that to a genuine Cz vz. 61 E/M84.
  • Correctly used by the Middle Eastern OpFor in the campaign.
  • Incorrectly used by the Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • While the Skorpion was never officialy adopted for military service, it was used by the K.G.B. Alpha Group/Ninth Directorate, Security Guards at Top Secret Facilities and the Moscow municipal militia since 1974, but it has been since phased out in it's entirety in the early or mid 2000s, also why the Ultranationalists, a paramilitary group that idolizes the Soviet Union would use a Czechoslovakian-made Machine Pistol/SMG?
  • Better Choice for the Russian Army Loyalists: PP-2000.
  • Better Choice for the Ultranationalists: Stechkin APS.
Mini-Uzi
  • The Mini-Uzi appears in-game as the Ultranationalists main compact SMG, it is also Victor Zakhaev preferred weapon of choice (equipped with a silencer for some reason).
  • Incorrectly used by the Ultranationalists (but not Victor Zakhaev) in the campaign.
  • Other than Victor Zakhaev, why the Ultranationalists, a paramilitary group that idolizes the Soviet Union would use a Israeli-made SMG?
  • Better Choice for the Ultranationalists: PPS-43.

Assault/Battle Rifles/Carbines/DMRs

Weapon in-game Notes
"AK-47"
  • An "AK-47" appears in-game as the main rifle used by the Middle Eastern OpFor, Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists in the campaign, Price use one AK-47 in the Mission "One Shot, One Kill", only appearing as it's secondary weapon if an AK-47 has been picked prior in the Mission "All Ghillied Up".

  • AMM, Zastava M70B1 (Middle Eastern OpFor only).
  • AK-74M (Russian Army Loyalists only).
"AK-74u"
  • The JG "AK-BETA-F" AEG airsoft rifle, designated as the "AK-74u" appears in-game as the main carbine used by the Middle Eastern OpFor, Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • It is classified as the "AK-74u", even though the JG "AK-BETA-F" AEG airsoft rifle is based on the AKS-47, It's designatation as the "AK-74u" imples that the "AK-74u" is, in theory, an AK-74 with a short barrel and handguard.
  • Model in-game is a mix between an AKS-74U and the JG "AK-BETA-F" AEG airsoft rifle, which has several alterations, including an AKS-74U flash hider, rear sight, front sight/gas block with a black polimeter furniture and a RIS handguard.

The magazines of the "AK-74u" are AKS-74-inspired bakelite magazines with a design resembling that of the Type 1 AKS-47 magazine, identifable by its magazine curve and it's grooves on the magwell.

  • Incorrectly classified as an SMG in-game.
  • "(In)Correctly" used by the Middle Eastern OpFor, Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • While the use of an AK carbine by the Middle Eastern OpFor, Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists is correct, it is incorrect that all of the above factions use an airsoft replica of the outdated AKS-47.
  • Better Choices:
  • For the:
  • Middle Eastern OpFor
  • Russian Army Loyalists
  • Ultranationalists
  • Original AKS-47 Models Type I, II and III (Avaliable for the Middle Eastern OpFor and Ultranationalists as uncommon or rare weapons in their arsenals).
  • Genuine AKS-74U (Middle Eastern OpFor/Russian Army Loyalists/Ultranationalists).
  • AKMS (Middle Eastern OpFor/Ultranationalists only).
  • Kbk wz. 88 Tantal, PM md. 63 (Middle Eastern OpFor only).
  • AKS-74, AK-105 (Russian Army Loyalists only).
"M4 Carbine/M4A1/M4A1 Greandier/M4A1 SOPMOD"
  • A Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine, designated as the M4A1/M4A1 SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar MODification) in the campaign and the M4 Carbine in multiplayer, appears in-game used by the S.A.S. (the M4A1 SOPMOD is only used by the S.A.S.) and the U.S. Marine Corps in the campaign.
  • Model in-game is a Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine, identifiable by its 16 inch non-stepped heavy barrel and two-position selector switch, it also has several visual alterations, including an M16A1-style pistol grip and flash hidder, an earlier four-position collapsible stock, an KAC RIS handguard that has six holes instead of seven and the foward assist and bayonet lug are missing, it is equipped with a KAC Foregrip by default, but it is not visible in the 3rd person model, the only visible thing regarding the KAC Foregrip are the KAC Rail that are in rails that are not in use, in this case, one rail is alwas present on the right side.
  • Model in-game of the M4A1 SOPMOD is equipped with the next following attachments:
  • A AN/PEQ-2A IR designator (in which the beam is incorrectly emmited from the barrel)
  • An M203 underbarrel grenade launcher (including one unusable leaf sight)
  • A Sightmark Sure Shot reflex sight
  • A Suppresor (the M4A1 Grenadier does not use a Silencer)
  • Since the M4A1 SOPMOD can be made with weapon attachments brought from the local gun store (minus the M203 and Suppresor), it can be asumed that the M4A1 SOPMOD seen in-game was custom build by Armorers for "Soap" and the rest of the S.A.S. members for limited service, still incorrect because the base model of the M4A1 SOPMOD is based of the Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine.
  • If a M203 attachment is equipped, the M4 Carbine/M4A1 will magicaly scale down to fit the M203 in the 3rd person model, despite the model in 1st person having the correct size, in another note, if an ACOG attachment is equipped, the front sight/gas block will disappear, rendering the weapon bolt-action, this also applies to the "M16A4" below.
  • The M4 Carbine/M4A1/M4A1 Grenadier/M4A1 SOPMOD incorrectly fires in full auto, the original M4 can only fire in semi-auto or burst modes, the M4A1 does fire in full auto, however, this is incorrect as well, since the M4 Carbine/M4A1/M4A1 Grenadier/M4A1 SOPMOD is based on the Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine, a civilian version of the M16 model that can only fire in semi-auto.
  • "(In)Correctly" used by the S.A.S. and the U.S. Marine Corps.
  • While the S.A.S. and the U.S. Marine Corps correctly uses the Colt carbine platform, it is incorrect and out-of-place that they use a fictionalized/mockup version of the M4 and M4A1 carbines based on the Colt AR-15A3 Tactical Carbine.
  • Better Choices:
"M16A4"
  • A Colt Sporter Competition, designated as the "M16A4", appears as the main rifle of the U.S. Marine Corps in the campaign.
  • Model in-game is the Colt Sporter Competition, evidenced by its two-position selector switch and the bayonet lug is missing.
  • Incorrectly fires in full-auto in the campaign and in burst-fire in multiplayer, which would be correct if the "M16A4" was a genuine M16A4 model.
  • Unlike the M16A4 in MW2, the COD4 version of the M16A4 has an actual KAC M5 hanguard, however this is only avaliable in 1st person only (the front cutout for the M203 attachment is missing as well), as the M16A4 3rd person model has an incorrect M16A2 handguard instead.
  • If the M203 Attachment is equipped, it will replace the KAC M5 handguard with the old M203 heatshield.
  • Better Choices:
"G3"
  • An Heckler & Koch HK91A3, designated as the "G3" in-game, appears as the main semi-automatic rifle of the Middle Eastern OpFor and the Ultranationalists in the campaign.

  • "Correctly" used by the Middle Eastern OpFor in the campaign.
  • Incorrectly used by the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • There's no way that the Ultranationalists would use an civilian semi-auto version of the G3 as their main battle rifle.
  • Better Choices:
  • In General: Genuine G3.
  • For the Middle Eastern OpFor: Select-fire G3A3.
  • For the Ultranationalists: SKS.
G36C
  • The Heckler & Koch G36C variant appears in-game as the Russian Army Loyalists, S.A.S. and the Ultranationalists as their main carbine in the campaign.
  • By default in the campaign, the G36C is always equipped with a Tasco red dot scope by default.
  • The magazine of the G36C is just a non-translucent flat texture and the front sight is missing.
  • Anachonistic for the Missions "All Ghillied Up" and "One Shot, One Kill", while the G36 was produced in 1996, the same year the previously mentioned missions take place, the G36C wasn't produced until 2001.
  • Correctly used by S.A.S. units (most notably "Gaz") in the campaign.
  • Incorrectly used by Russian Army Loyalists and the Ultranationalists in the campaign.
  • Better Choices:
  • For the S.A.S. (as an additional choice): L22A2.
  • For the Russian Army Loyalists: SR-3 Vikhr.
  • For the Ultranationalists: 9A-91.
"M14"

  • The bayonet lug and the fire control leveler are missing from the 3rd person model, making it resemble the Springfield Armory M1A.
  • Incorrectly classified as a assault rifle.
  • Better Choice: M14 DMR without scope.
"MP44"
  • The StG 44, designated as the "MP44", appears only in multiplayer as the only WW2-era weapon in-game, as a nod from past WW2 Call of Duty Titles.
  • Model in-game was ported from Call of Duty 2.

General Purpose/Light Machine Guns

Weapon in-game Notes
M60E3
  • The E3 variant of the M60 appears in multiplayer and in the campaign as one of tree general purpose machine guns avaliable in-game.
  • For some unfathomable reason, in the campaign, it is used by two Ultranationalists in the final Mission "Game Over", one Ultranationalist uses one after he leaves out his transport truck, after he is fill with lead, it can be picked up for usage, other than multiplayer, "Game Over" is the only mission in the campaign that the M60E3 can be used, the second Ultranationalist uses another one as part of Imran Zakhaev's bodyguards in the final stage of the mission as well.

  • Ultranationalists (The black market excuse and MW2 Makarov WON'T save you Soviet Union Copycats)
  • Better Choices:
  • For the OpFor/Ultranationalists: RP-46 (avaliable as a mounted machine gun only).
  • For the S.A.S.: FN Minimi/Para, FN MAG (with M240B Combat Ammo Pack), L86A2.
