Battlefield 3 (2011)


Pistols

Possibly Beretta M9

In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a pistol holstered to his vest. This could be the standard issue Beretta M9 pistol used by the U.S. Marine Corps today.

Beretta M9 9x19mm. U.S. military-issue 92FS. Note nomenclature on slide distinguishing this from a standard civilian Beretta 92FS.

The possibly Beretta M9 holstered to the Marine's vest's is circled in red. Also note that the same US Marine is inaccurately shown to have a US Flag Patch on his sleeve. US Marines do not wear flag or unit patches.

Assault Rifles

M16A4 Rifle

The M16A4 rifle is briefly shown during gameplay footage. For some reason it has no iron sights or even optic sights, but this is because of the alpha stages of the game.

M16A4 MWS (Modular Weapon System) with RAS rails installed, AN/PEQ-2 IR designator, RIS foregrip, and Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope - 5.56x45mm. This is the USMC style setup.

One of the Marines on the top right is carrying what looks like an M16A4 during the briefing scene.

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 Carbine is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. Because of the alpha stages, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOtech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal Weaponlight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate and an unknown stock (possibly a painted LE stock or Magpul CTR stock). The player character also performs the weapon's reload procedure wrong, racking the charging handle after loading a new magazine rather than using the bolt release. Though this would work, it is much less practical. Another interesting thing to note is that at the start of the same trailer, the Marine the player uses is shown to have 31 rounds in his M4A1. This would mean that he has a 30 round mag and 1 in the chamber. Although during combat, one might conduct a tactical reload, loading a fresh mag while one is still in the chamber, it is not common for a Marine to already have a round chambered and a full mag loaded from the very start.

The M240B appears in the hands of some U.S. Marines, and in the hands of the player, fitted with an EOtech 551 Holographic sight. The trailer shows the weapon as having a deployable bipod which can be used to increase accuracy during prolonged firing, at the cost of player mobility.
