==M16A2 Rifle==
==M9 Beretta==
The [[Beretta 92 pistol series#Beretta 92F/FS|Beretta 92FS]] appears in the game as the "M9 Beretta" (the official designation of the 92FS in the U.S. military), and is one of the weapons the player is trained on during U.S. weapons familiarization training. During the "Shoot House" and "ESS McKenna" training missions, the player can select either an M4A1 or an M9 as their weapon, and it is also available as a secondary weapon for snipers and special forces roles in multiplayer mode.

The regular infantry weapon of this game, the [[M16 rifle series#M16A2 Rifle|M16A2 rifle]] is the most common weapon in the game. First it can be used by a player in Basic Rifle Marksmanship training in Basic Combat Training where the player can score one of three ratings with the weapon; Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. Qualifying Expert makes the player eligible for Advanced Marksmanship training with the sniper weapons discussed below. This is also one of the few games that will depict weapons jamming on the player, which is introduced in Basic Rifle Marksmanship, the player having to perform a 'SPORTS' (Slap Pull Observe Release Tap Squeeze) drill to clear the malfunction and get the weapon back in action.
==Makarov PM==
The [[Makarov PM]] appears as the OPFOR counterpart to the M9 Beretta pistol. The game does not allow dropping or picking up pistols, so the Makarov is only an unusable third person model seen in the hands of enemies during gameplay, as well as among a collection of foreign weapons seen during Special Forces training.

==M203 Grenade Launcher==
==M203 Grenade Launcher==
The [[M203 grenade launcher]] appears mounted on both the M16A2 rifle and the M4A1 carbine. The M203 mounted on an M16A2 is another weapon the player is trained on in the U.S. weapons familiarization training, the player being tasked with putting grenades through a simulated window and hitting the pop-up silhouette target. When mounted on the M4A1, it can fire either HEDP (High-Explosive Dual-Purpose) grenades or flare rounds, and the SOPMOD-equipped M4A1 has it sporting a camo paint scheme like the rest of the weapon.

The [[GP-series grenade launcher#GP-30|GP-30 grenade launcher]] appears in the game mounted on the AK-103 rifle, and serves as the OPFOR counterpart to the M203 grenade launcher mounted on the M16A2 as mentioned above.
== BGM-71 TOW ==
 
In the "Real Heroes" section of the game, the player can visit a simulated Army recruiting station where the Virtual Army Experience (a travelling, interactive version of the ''America's Army'' game) is in progress, one of the weapons seen inside the VAE being a tripod-mounted [[BGM-71 TOW]] missile launcher.

The [[M136 AT4]] appears in the game and is one of two shoulder-fired rocket weapons the player is trained on in the U.S. weapons familiarization training, the player being given a derelict tank on the range to fire at. One goof with this weapon is that it can be safely fired inside a building whereas in real life the large backblast from the AT4 makes this extremely dangerous.

The [[FGM-148 Javelin]] appears as the only guided anti-armor weapon in the game, and like the real weapon can be operated in two modes; direct-attack and top-attack, the latter being the default mode, wherein the missile flies above the target and hits it from directly above, while direct attack has it flying straight at the target to hit it head-on. The FGM-148's Command Launch Unit (CLU) can also be used without a missile as makeshift binoculars or a night-vision device.

In the "Weapons Cache" multiplayer map, the objective is to find and photograph two weapons caches hidden in a warehouse building, the crates containing [[FIM-92A Stinger]] launchers. The "Snakeplain" multiplayer map has destroying Stinger launchers with incendiary grenades as one of the main objectives. In the "ESS McKenna" training mission and multiplayer maps where the player is capable of ESS reporting, crated Stingers can sometimes be seen and reported as a suspicious object.

==M67 Hand Grenade==
= Grenades & Explosives =


The [[M67 hand grenade]] is one of the weapons available in multiplayer mode, and is one of two lethal grenades available. Standard practice in multiplayer mode is to send the message "Frag out!", informing members of the player's squad that one of these grenades has been thrown, giving them time to clear the blast area to avoid friendly fire, which can have heavy penalties in multiplayer mode (though the latest version makes sending this message automatic upon throwing a frag grenade). On some maps (such as co-op maps with AI-controlled OPFOR), the M67 is used by the OPFOR as well as the player's team.
==AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade==
The [[AN/M14 incendiary grenade]] is another grenade available in multiplayer mode and is one of two lethal grenades available to the player, capable of inflicting lethal burns and acting as a temporary area denial device, preventing access to the area where it's burning.

America's Army (2002)

The following weapons appear in the computer game America's Army: Note: This article reflects the latest available version of the original game, America's Army 2.8.5, for the sequel see America's Army 3.


Handguns

M9 Beretta

The Beretta 92FS appears in the game as the "M9 Beretta" (the official designation of the 92FS in the U.S. military), and is one of the weapons the player is trained on during U.S. weapons familiarization training. During the "Shoot House" and "ESS McKenna" training missions, the player can select either an M4A1 or an M9 as their weapon, and it is also available as a secondary weapon for snipers and special forces roles in multiplayer mode.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM appears as the OPFOR counterpart to the M9 Beretta pistol. The game does not allow dropping or picking up pistols, so the Makarov is only an unusable third person model seen in the hands of enemies during gameplay, as well as among a collection of foreign weapons seen during Special Forces training.

Rifle

AK-47 Rifle

The AK-47 appears in the game as the OPFOR (OPposing FORce) counterpart to the M16A2. An interesting note is that the AK-47's in the game have mounting hardware for a folding bayonet as used on the Norinco Type 56, but have the open front sights and milled reciever of the original AK-47.

M16A2 Rifle

The regular infantry weapon of this game, the M16A2 rifle is the most common weapon in the game. First it can be used by a player in Basic Rifle Marksmanship training in Basic Combat Training where the player can score one of three ratings with the weapon; Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert. Qualifying Expert makes the player eligible for Advanced Marksmanship training with the sniper weapons discussed below. This is also one of the few games that will depict weapons jamming on the player, which is introduced in Basic Rifle Marksmanship, the player having to perform a 'SPORTS' (Slap Pull Observe Release Tap Squeeze) drill to clear the malfunction and get the weapon back in action.

M4A1 Carbine

The M4A1 carbine appears in the "Shoot House" and "ESS McKenna" training missions and is the main weapon used in multiplayer modes where players are allowed to use custom weapons. The M4A1 in the training missions have no accessories, though in multiplayer can be fitted with various SOPMOD accessories including M68 Aimpoint red dot and ACOG scopes, Trijicon RX01 red dot sight, silencer, Harris bipod (making the M4A1 the only assault rifle in the game to use a bipod), and an M203 grenade launcher as mentioned below. The custom M4A1's also have camouflage paint schemes.

Zastava M92 Carbine

In some multiplayer games where the player is capable of ESS reporting, one of the items that can be found and reported is crates containing both regular AK-47's and Zastava M92 carbines, though these weapons cannot be used by either the player or OPFOR. These can be distinguished from the AKS-74U carbines mentioned above by having underfolding instead of side-folding stocks and metal 7.62x39mm magazines vs. bakelite 5.45x39mm mags.

Shotguns

Remington 870 Shotgun

During the Special Forces training mission, a pistol-gripped Remington 870 shotgun can be seen on a table with other U.S. weapons. Additionaly there is a mod to use this weapon on certain usermade maps or other modded servers as it is in the game as a useable weapon

Machine Guns

M249 SAW

The M249 SAW appears in the game, first seen in the U.S. weapons familiarization mission of Basic Combat Training, and then available in multiplayer mode as the automatic rifleman's primary weapon. The M249's bipod can be deployed when using the weapon while prone to increase accuracy.

Sniper Rifles

M82A1 Barrett

The Barrett M82 sniper rifle appears in the game as the "M82A1 Barrett", and is the second weapon the player is trained on in Advanced Marksmanship training. It is available on longer ranged maps as the primary weapon of the advanced marksman. While officially designated as an anti-materiel weapon, this powerful weapon can easily kill an OPFOR in one shot. The Barrett is also prone to jamming with heavy useage, possibly moreso than any other weapon in the game. It can also use the integral bipod to increase accuracy while firing from the prone position.

Mk 12 Mod 0 SPR

The Mk 12 Mod 0 Special Purpose Rifle appears as one of the weapons available to U.S. snipers in the game, and can be fitted with a silencer. The rate of fire of the rifle is somewhat slower than the actual SPR for reasons of fairness in multiplayer gameplay. The SPR also features a Parker & Hale bipod which can be used to increase accuracy from a prone firing position as well as a Leupold Mark 4 scope.

M203 Grenade Launcher

The M203 grenade launcher appears mounted on both the M16A2 rifle and the M4A1 carbine. The M203 mounted on an M16A2 is another weapon the player is trained on in the U.S. weapons familiarization training, the player being tasked with putting grenades through a simulated window and hitting the pop-up silhouette target. When mounted on the M4A1, it can fire either HEDP (High-Explosive Dual-Purpose) grenades or flare rounds, and the SOPMOD-equipped M4A1 has it sporting a camo paint scheme like the rest of the weapon.

Launchers

BGM-71 TOW

In the "Real Heroes" section of the game, the player can visit a simulated Army recruiting station where the Virtual Army Experience (a travelling, interactive version of the America's Army game) is in progress, one of the weapons seen inside the VAE being a tripod-mounted BGM-71 TOW missile launcher.

FGM-148 Javelin

The FGM-148 Javelin appears as the only guided anti-armor weapon in the game, and like the real weapon can be operated in two modes; direct-attack and top-attack, the latter being the default mode, wherein the missile flies above the target and hits it from directly above, while direct attack has it flying straight at the target to hit it head-on. The FGM-148's Command Launch Unit (CLU) can also be used without a missile as makeshift binoculars or a night-vision device.

FIM-92A Stinger

In the "Weapons Cache" multiplayer map, the objective is to find and photograph two weapons caches hidden in a warehouse building, the crates containing FIM-92A Stinger launchers. The "Snakeplain" multiplayer map has destroying Stinger launchers with incendiary grenades as one of the main objectives. In the "ESS McKenna" training mission and multiplayer maps where the player is capable of ESS reporting, crated Stingers can sometimes be seen and reported as a suspicious object.

M136 AT4

The M136 AT4 appears in the game and is one of two shoulder-fired rocket weapons the player is trained on in the U.S. weapons familiarization training, the player being given a derelict tank on the range to fire at. One goof with this weapon is that it can be safely fired inside a building whereas in real life the large backblast from the AT4 makes this extremely dangerous.

Presumably the AT4(CS) is used in such situations. The Wierd It 22:08, 8 September 2009 (UTC)

RPG-7

The RPG-7 appears as the OPFOR equivalent to both the M136 AT4 and the Bunker Defeat Munition, being loaded with a standard PG-7VM HEAT (High-Explosive Anti-Tank) and a PG-7VR tandem warhead rocket for each role, respectively. While using one of these weapons, the player is unable to sprint and must either discard the RPG or switch to another weapon in order to sprint again.

Grenades & Explosives

AN/M14 Incendiary Grenade

The AN/M14 incendiary grenade is another grenade available in multiplayer mode and is one of two lethal grenades available to the player, capable of inflicting lethal burns and acting as a temporary area denial device, preventing access to the area where it's burning.

RGD-5 Hand Grenade

The RGD-5 hand grenade appears as the OPFOR counter to the M67 hand grenade, having the same degree of lethality. Like the Makarov PM mentioned above, the RGD-5 is only a third-person model seen in the hands of the enemy and is not usable by the player.

RGD-5 High-Explosive Fragmentation grenade

M18 Smoke Grenade

The M18 smoke grenade appears during Airborne training; a green M18 is used to mark the landing area the player must land their parachute in during the live jump in order to successfully qualify.

M67 Hand Grenade

The M67 hand grenade is one of the weapons available in multiplayer mode, and is one of two lethal grenades available. Standard practice in multiplayer mode is to send the message "Frag out!", informing members of the player's squad that one of these grenades has been thrown, giving them time to clear the blast area to avoid friendly fire, which can have heavy penalties in multiplayer mode (though the latest version makes sending this message automatic upon throwing a frag grenade). On some maps (such as co-op maps with AI-controlled OPFOR), the M67 is used by the OPFOR as well as the player's team.

M83 Smoke Grenade

M84 Stun Grenade

The M84 stun grenade appears as the second non-lethal grenade in the game, first seen in the "Shoot House" training mission, as well as in multiplayer mode. A direct hit from one of these grenades leaves the player blind and deaf for several moments and unable to defend themselves. In the "Shoot House" mission, using these grenades delays the timer in that room, allowing the player more time to distinguish valid targets from friendlies and non-combatants.

Mounted Weapons

Browning M2HB Heavy Machine Gun

The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun appears mounted on M1114 Humvees in one of the training missions, mounted in powered CROWS (Common Remotely Operated Weapon System) mountings operated from inside the vehicle. In the training mission, the player is tasked with engaging several sillouette targets made to resemble Russian-made trucks and armored personnel carriers such as the BTR-80 and BMP-2.

KPVT Heavy Machine Gun

In the "Steamroller" multiplayer map, a derelict BTR-80 armored personnel carrier can be seen, armed with a KPVT heavy machine gun, the barrel of which is bent, rendering it useless. The "Interdiction" co-op map features several roving enemy APC's which will attempt to engage the player, including a BTR-80 with a functional KPVT as its' main armament.
