'''''Wolfenstein''''' is a direct sequel to the 2001 game ''[[Return to Castle Wolfenstein]]'', developed by Raven Software and Id and published by Activision. Starring returning protagonist BJ Blazkowicz, the story begins with the discovery of a strange device which uses rare crystals to produce powerful effects; these crystals come from only one place on earth, an occupied city implied to be in the German state of Baden-Württemberg called Isenstadt. BJ is sent there to discover what the Nazis have planned and put a stop to it, soon once again finding that the entire war could be decided by the mysterious forces his enemies are preparing to unleash.

''Wolfenstein'' allows the player to carry all eight usable weapons at once, as well as a number of hand grenades. Weapons are picked up at set points during the campaign, and can be upgraded at Black Market locations using gold found within the levels and awarded for completing them.

B.J. Blazkowicz uses an [[M1911A1]] while aboard the Tirpitz to shoot at Germans manning an AA gun and uses his last bullets to shoot at a rope holding a boat to easily defeat the German AA gun crew.

The first weapon you have in the game is the ubiquitous German [[MP40]]. Among the upgrades available are a suppressor, recoil compensator, drum mag and larger bore for heavier rounds. The recoil compensator rather comically replaces the entire barrel with a pair of flash hiders joined end-on-end, which doesn't stop a supressor mounted on the end of them still functioning normally.

The second weapon you receive is the [[Karabiner 98k]], one of the longest serving bolt action rifles in the world. It's rate of fire and one shot kills makes it an excellent weapon. Upgrades include stripper clips, sniper scope, suppressor and bayonet. While obscure, there actually was a suppressor model made for the Kar 98, called HUB-23 and paired with a subsonic ''Nahpatrone'' 7.92mm round with a muzzle velocity of 722 feet per second. The device shown in the game, however, is a ''Gewehrgranatengerät'' rifle grenade launching cup.

Wolfenstein (2009)

Wolfenstein is a direct sequel to the 2001 game Return to Castle Wolfenstein, developed by Raven Software and Id and published by Activision. Starring returning protagonist BJ Blazkowicz, the story begins with the discovery of a strange device which uses rare crystals to produce powerful effects; these crystals come from only one place on earth, an occupied city implied to be in the German state of Baden-Württemberg called Isenstadt. BJ is sent there to discover what the Nazis have planned and put a stop to it, soon once again finding that the entire war could be decided by the mysterious forces his enemies are preparing to unleash.

The following weapons appear in the video game Wolfenstein:


Overview

Wolfenstein allows the player to carry all eight usable weapons at once, as well as a number of hand grenades. Weapons are picked up at set points during the campaign, and can be upgraded at Black Market locations using gold found within the levels and awarded for completing them.

Submachine guns

MP40

The first weapon you have in the game is the ubiquitous German MP40. Among the upgrades available are a suppressor, recoil compensator, drum mag and larger bore for heavier rounds. The recoil compensator rather comically replaces the entire barrel with a pair of flash hiders joined end-on-end, which doesn't stop a supressor mounted on the end of them still functioning normally.

The second weapon you receive is the Karabiner 98k, one of the longest serving bolt action rifles in the world. It's rate of fire and one shot kills makes it an excellent weapon. Upgrades include stripper clips, sniper scope, suppressor and bayonet. While obscure, there actually was a suppressor model made for the Kar 98, called HUB-23 and paired with a subsonic Nahpatrone 7.92mm round with a muzzle velocity of 722 feet per second. The device shown in the game, however, is a Gewehrgranatengerät rifle grenade launching cup.

In the intro cutscene, we see the German AA gun crew man some kind of AA gun to shoot at B.J. before being killed by a collapsing boat and B.J.'s M1911A1. The weapon appears to be a dual water-cooled machine gun of some kind; regardless, it is completely incorrect for the Tirpitz, whose smallest dual guns were 37mm SK C/30 AA guns which required a crew of 6.
