Battlefield 3 (also known as BF3) is the direct sequel to Battlefield 2 which was released on June 21, 2005, also the twelfth installment of the series. The game is been developed by the Swedish company Digital Illusions CE (DICE) and will be published by Electronic Arts on October 25, 2011 in North-America, later in Australia on October 27th and on October 28th in Europe. One of the main features of the game is the new engine, the Frostbite 2, which bringing a large improvement from Battlefield: Bad Company 2's engine, and includes the graphics, sounds, animations, generally gameplay and much more. BF3 is developed for the PC, PS3 and Xbox 360.
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 3:
Handguns
Beretta M9
In the beginning of the single-player mission that was shown during gameplay footage, 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 in Battlefield: Bad Company 2 and Medal of Honor (multiplayer), the M9's magazine has 15 rounds + 1 in the chamber like it should be. An M9 fitted with a suppressor can be seen in the Co-op trailer.
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.
M1911
The M1911 can be seen in several leaked pre-alpha gameplay videos [[1]]

MP7
The MP7 can be seen in online game play videos as a primary weapon. Has been shown only with an erroneous 24 round capacity magazine but modeled after the 30 round magazine
Assault Rifles
Colt M16A4
The M16A4 rifle was shown during early gameplay footage but was lacking rear iron sights. This is because the game was still under early alpha development. It was later confirmed that both M16A3 and M16A4 will be available for use within the game.
Colt M4A1 Carbine
The Colt 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 M4A1 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 attached.
G36C
The G36C has been seen as one of the assault rifles in the game. So far it has been shown being modified with what appears to be a Tricon red dot sight
AK variant
The PLR insurgents using an unknown variant of the AK rifle series.

SIG SG 553 LB
The SG 553 LB has been confirmed by DICE in the official Battlefield Blog; the "LB" in its name standing for "Long Barrel", as this version of the SG 553 has a 13.7 inch barrel.
Khaybar/KH2002
The recently released "Xbox 360 Operation Guillotine Gameplay" trailer shows an Iranian soldier using the bullpup Iranian Khaybar (a.k.a.KH2002) assault rifle. The weapon is a bullpup conversion of the Iranian DIO S-5.56, which a clone of the Norinco CQ (a Chinese knockoff of the M16A1). The Kh2002 was put into service in 2004 as a replacement for the Iranian Military's obsolete G3A3's.
Fun Fact: The rifle is named after "The Battle of Khaybar," where the Muslim Prophet Muhammad lead a victorious attack against a large settlement of Jews living in the Arabian settlement of Khaybar. Muhammad believed that the loot and prestige gained from Khaybar would be necessary in order to fund his future military campaigns.

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 M1014 was the first shotgun to be displayed online. Features a semi-automatic mode with tactical stock fully retracted during gameplay.

Should also be noted the reload animation shows the player loading the first round into the breach first, then loading the remaining shells underneath shotgun.
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.
