Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons are used in the PC version of the video game Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 2, unless otherwise noted:
Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 is the main sidearm used by Mexican Rebel Officers and Rebel vehicle crews. It can be used by the player and assigned to the player's teammates, and is the standard sidearm for the Ghost Recon team in the PC version of the game. It has a magazine capacity of 16 rounds, and a suppressor can be added.

Beretta Px4 Storm
(Xbox 360/PS3 only) The Beretta Px4 Storm is the main sidearm used by Capt. Scott Mitchell and presumably most of the Ghost team in the console versions. A suppressor can be added.
Heckler & Koch HK45
(PC only) The Heckler & Koch HK45 appears in the game as the "HK45", and it can be used by the player and assigned to the player's teammates. The frame of the gun has a tan finish. A suppressor can also be added.
Despite the fact that its real life magazine capacity is 10 rounds, the ingame version has a magazine capacity of 12 rounds and occupies twice(!) the inventory space of the M9 and G18C pistols. These factors could mean that the game developers originally planned to use the H&K Mark 23 pistol (a handgun that would match the magazine capacity of 12 as well as the implied size and weight) instead of the HK45, but either changed their minds and did not alter the ingame stats to match the HK45's real characteristics, or else could not secure the rights to use the Mark 23 and used the HK45 as a visual stand-in instead.

Glock 18
(PC only) The Glock 18 appears in the game as "G18", it can be used by the player and assigned to the player's teammates. Mercenary vehicle crews also use it on occasion. The ingame pistol uses a 19 round magazine, and the vertically ported barrel on the ingame version indicates that it is the compensated model. A small animation goof in the game is visible when the player character attempts to change the firing mode of the pistol; while the player character will attempt to toggle the fire selector switch with his right thumb (the only visible fire-mode-changing animation of its type in the game) when directed by the player, the switch itself will never move, even though the the pistol will fire appropriately for the mode displayed on the ingame HUD.
Kimber ICQB
(Xbox 360/PS3 only) The Kimber Desert Warrior as the Kimber ICQB. It can be equipped with a suppressor and can be used by the player and teammates.
Heckler & Koch MP5A4
The Heckler & Koch MP5A4 appears in the game, it can be used by the player and assigned to the player's teammates. An Aimpoint CompM2 red-dot sight can be added. Mercenaries occasionally use it with the red-dot sight as well. Its firing modes include semi-automatic, three-round burst, and fully automatic fire. Magazine capacity is 30 rounds.

Heckler & Koch MP5SD
The Heckler & Koch MP5SD appears in the game, it can be used by the player and the player's teammates, and is Demolitions Specialist Bo Jenkins' preferred secondary weapon in the console versions. An Aimpoint CompM2 red-dot sight can be added. Some Mercenaries use this weapon with Aimpoint CompM2 red-dot sights. It possesses a telescoping buttstock, and is capable of semiautomatic, three-round burst, and fully automatic fire. Like its parent firearm, it too has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds and for some reason has the exact same damage and range values in this game despite bleeding off an appreciable amount of propellant gas (thereby slowing the fired bullet, lowering penetration, distance, and damage potential) in real life.

Beretta CX4 Storm
(Xbox 360/PS3 only) A SMG variant of the Beretta CX4 Storm appears in the console versions of GRAW 2. It has a reflex sight and can be equipped with a suppressor or grenade launcher.
FN P90
(Xbox 360/PS3 only)The FN P90 appears in the game, it can be used by the player and teammates. It is the preferred weapon of Medic Alex Nolan. It can be equipped with a suppressor.
Benelli M1014
The Benelli M4 Super 90 appears in game as the M1014 and can be used by the player and assigned to teammates. It has a magazine capacity of 7 rounds of 12 gauge buckshot. Despite being a full-size combat shotgun, it occupies only 3 units of inventory space in the PC version (3 times as large as an M9 pistol), though being limited to carrying only 28 shells in total (as opposed to 5 spare magazines of 5.56x45mm ammo which is standard for 5.56mm rifles) might have something to do with that odd space allocation.

Beretta Rx4 Storm
The Beretta Rx4 Storm appears in the game, and is the weapon of choice for the player character, Captain Scott Mitchell, and the standard rifle of the Ghost Recon team. The ingame version is a fictional variant capable of fully automatic fire (the real-life version is limited to semiautomatic fire only). It can be modified with a red dot sight (ACOG in Xbox 360/PS3 versions), an FN EGLM grenade launcher, a sound suppressor and a vertical foregrip. The RX4 has a urban digital camouflage finish, and has a magazine capacity of 30 rounds.

Heckler & Koch XM8
(PC only) The Heckler & Koch XM8 appears in the game, and it can be used by the player and assigned to the player's teammates. Labelled the "M8 Carbine" ingame, the lack of an "X" designation implies that it was adopted en masse by the US forces in the game's backstory, and indeed several US Marines ingame are seen using it. The rifle is also used by many of the Mercenaries in the game. It can be modified with a sound suppressor, a red dot sight and an AG36 grenade launcher. The Heckler & Koch XM8 Compact Carbine is also in the game and can be chosen as a secondary weapon, boasting a retractable stock and the ability to fit a sound suppressor but no other accessories. The rifle in both its forms possesses a 30 round magazine capacity ingame, and is capable of semiautomatic or fully automatic fire.
Contrary to what might be expected, carrying both the standard carbine and the compact carbine at the same time will not allow the player to draw from a common ammo pool while using either version (i.e., you cannot take a magazine from the compact carbine's reserves and transfer it for use in the standard carbine), despite the fact that both versions use the exact same magazines and ammunition in real life and therefore could share them.
