Medal of Honor: Airborne, 2007






M1911A1

The M1911A1 is the main sidearm available to the player throughout the game. Upgrades give it a quick draw holster to switch weapons with the pistol faster, a match trigger to improve rate of fire which allows you to fire the pistol as fast as you can tap the fire button, and lastly, "Magnum" rounds for increased fire power.

Mauser C96

The Mauser C96 is available only as a choice in the final "Der Flakturm" level. Upgrades include a shoulder stock to reduce recoil and 20 round magazines. The 3rd and final weapon upgrade eventually turns the C96 into the 712 model with full automatic capability. It should be noted that it is underpowered in the game, takng 5 rounds to the torso to take out an enemy. This is in contrast to its rounds (7.63x25mm mauser) real world ballistics, only slightly less powerful than a Tokarev TT-33 Pistol (7.62x25mm tokarev), a pistol known to be a good stopper, and even more so for its incredible penetration, which the c96 also exhibited.

M18 Recoilless Rifle

One of the anachronistic weapons in this game. Although the M18 recoilless rifle was developed towards the end of WWII it would not have been ready in time for the Normandy invasion (the only time it is openly available in the game). The upgrades give it a variable powered scope and increased ammo capacity.

Panzerschreck

Available from the "Market-Garden" stages onward. This was an evolution of the American M9 bazooka often coming with shaped charge warheads. Available only as a pick up weapon in the game, not an optional load out weapon. Most famous for being used by the deadly Panzergrenaders, though they were fictionally portrayed in the game equipped with the Panzerschreck and ONLY the Panzerschreck, along with gas masks. In real life, Panzergrenadiers wielded MP40 submachineguns Sturmgewehr 44 assault rifles, and Karabiner 98k rifles in their arsenals.
