Revision as of 18:40, 25 March 2011
The following weapons can be seen in the upcoming first-person shooter Homefront.
The year is 2027. America is in a state of collapse, as the now unified Korea takes its place as the worlds most powerful nation. From 2011, Korea gains control over East Asia, soon utilizing Americas state of affairs as a ground for an invasion of the northern American continent. The story of Homefront was written by John Milius who co-wrote the films Apocalypse Now and Red Dawn. The game borrows most of its story elements from the latter film.
Pistols
Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 can be seen used by a Korean soldier and by the player. It is the only available pistol in the game. Holds 15 rounds in the magazine.
Assault Rifles
M4A1
The M4A1 (called M4 in-game) is the standard assault rifle for the U.S. Army faction. KPA (Korean People's Army) soldiers also can be seen using it. In single player it holds erroneously only 20 rounds but it is modelled with the standard 30-round one. In multiplayer it is the best default weapon with high accuracy, range and relatively fast reload speed.
M16A4
The M16A4 in the game fires only in single-shot mode. Called simply "M16 Rifle".
FN SCAR-L
The FN SCAR-L (called "SCAR" in the game) acts as the weapon of choice for the U.S. Special Forces. It fires in three-round burst mode much like in Left 4 Dead 2 instead of full-auto, as real FN SCARs doesn't have burst fire capability.

Bushmaster ACR
The Bushmaster ACR is used by both American and Korean forces in the game. Called "ACR Rifle". In multiplayer it is unlocked at level 3.
QBZ-03
The Norinco QBZ-03 assault rifle can be seen in use by Korean soldiers. Its in-game name is "T3AK". Ironically, it was referred to by it's actual name in the tie-in novel: Homefront: The Voice of Freedom, which was co-written by Milius.
PWS MK107 "Diablo"
What was first thought to be a Heckler & Koch HK416 by its design, is actually a PWS Diablo; An AR-15-based compact assault rifle. In-game, the PWS Diablo can be fitted with iron sights, red dot sight, Stubby Vertical Grip, and a suppressor. It also features Mapgul XTM rail covers in black and beige and ACE M4 SOCOM Stock. Because of its size, it's classified in-game as a sub-machine gun.
FN SCAR-H LMG
A FN SCAR-H appears in game with a 75-round double-drum magazine and a Grippod foregrip/bipod. It is classified as a light machine gun, same as the M249.
Sub-Machine Guns
TDI Vector
The TDI Vector appears in the game, named the "Super V SMG". It is classified as a sub-machine gun along with the PWS Diablo.
Shotguns
Remington 870 Express
A Remington 870 Express with RealTree camo and a thumbhole stock is granted to anyone who pre-ordered the game through GameStop. It's also seen occasionally during the singleplayer campaign. It's fitted with a rail mount above the receiver and a spare shell holder.
Sniper Rifles
M110 SASS
The M110 SASS (Called M110 in-game) acts as the new sniper rifle for the U.S. Army faction. It uses a 10-round magazine. It is available by default in the MP but cannot be modified.
Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention
The Cheyenne Tactical M-200 Intervention appears as "M200 Sniper" in Homefront. It is not very popular in multiplayer because of the 5-round capacity and slow (bolt-action) rate of fire.
Machine Guns
M249-E2 SAW
The M249-E2 SAW (called M249 in-game) acts as the standard light machine gun for the U.S. Army faction. Holds 100 rounds in the magazine but the large recoil can be a problem. Available at level 1 in multiplayer.
Mounted weapons
Browning M2
The Browning M2 can be seen mounted on U.S. MBTs. It also appears to be the gun armament of the drone vehicle Goliath.
GAU-19A
The General Dynamics GAU-19/A seems the standard heavy mounted weapon in the game; they are seen mounted on Korean and American "Humvee" light trucks, as well as on the seemingly-fictional "AH-700" scout helicopters used by the Resistance and the American army.
GE M61 Vulcan
The GE M61 Vulcan is seen mounted on the excavator-like arms of Korean sentry gun towers.
Unknown drone weapon
Some drones have what appears to be a mounted weapon that resembles to the M240B by its heat shield, but has a larger barrel and a larger ammo type.
Type 85 heavy machine gun
A Type 85 heavy machine gun can be seen and used on the Korean Type 99 tank.
Launchers
Armbrust ATW
In very early pre-release versions of Homefront there is a rocket launcher that looks similar to the Armbrust ATW. It has been replaced with the Panzerfaust 3 in the final version.
Panzerfaust 3
FGM-148 Javelin
An FGM-148 Javelin launcher is used at the very end of the campaign to shoot down an enemy helicopter. This appears to be the only time it can be used.
