Homefront (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.

PWS MK107 "Diablo"
