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 player's magazines shown to have 31 rounds of 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.

Battlefield 3 (2011)


Pistols

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 Beretta M9 pistol holstered to his vest. It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9.

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.

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 player's magazines shown to have 31 rounds of 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. Another thing to note, with the recent Operation Metro multiplayer gameplay trailer. The same modeling mistake made by many current FPS game titles with the M16A4 and M4A1 weapons is the complete of removal the front sight/gas block when mounting optical sights, is present in Battlefield 3 as well.
