In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|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. Another note of interest is that unlike [[Battlefield: Bad Company 2]] and [[Medal of Honor]], the [[M9]]'s magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber). | In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta M9]] pistol holstered to his vest.

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). Two different "reload-from-empty" animations currently exist. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while the Operation Metro trailer, and the PS3 Fault Line gameplay from the June 16th, 2011 edition of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show had the player use the bolt release button. Another thing to note, the M4 depicted in the Operation Metro trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic. Not to be mistaken with the M16A3 in the trailers, which is lacking a front sight post/gas block with the ACOG. | The [[M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character.

The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 3:
Handguns
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. Another note of interest is that unlike Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor, the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber).
MP-443 Grach
The MP-443 apparently returns from Bad Company 2, as it's briefly visible in the multiplayer kill list in the "Operation Métro" trailer.
Glock 17
The Glock 17 is shown in an official screenshot for the Battlelog. Glock 17 picture
Sub-machine Guns
FN P90TR

Assault Rifles
Colt M16A4
The M16A4 rifle is shown during gameplay footage. In the early footage it has no rear iron sight. This is because the game was still in early alpha development.
Colt M4A1
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). Two different "reload-from-empty" animations currently exist. The "Fault Line" trailers had the player rack the charging handle, while the Operation Metro trailer, and the PS3 Fault Line gameplay from the June 16th, 2011 edition of Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show had the player use the bolt release button. Another thing to note, the M4 depicted in the Operation Metro trailer has full iron sights and has not been seen with an optic. Not to be mistaken with the M16A3 in the trailers, which is lacking a front sight post/gas block with the ACOG.
AK variant
The PLR insurgents using an unknown variant of the AK rifle series.

Machine Guns
M240B Machine Gun
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.
PKP Pecheneg
The PKP Pecheneg has been seen in gameplay trailers.
Mk. 46 Mod 0/M249 SAW
The Mk. 46 Mod 0/M249 SAW was seen in E3 multiplayer footage. Because of the sticking out rail on the top of the handguard, this likely to be the Mk. 46 Mod 0.

SVD

Shotguns
Armsel Striker
The Armsel Striker is included, identifiable by the winding key on the front of the drum magazine. The weapon is referred to as the "DAO-12" in material advertising the game's pre-order rewards, as it was in Battlefield 2; this stands for "double action only, 12 gauge" and is a description of the weapon rather than a correct name for it.
Launchers
