Wheelman (2009)

Wheelman is a driving / third-person shooter open-world game starring Vin Diesel as Milo Burik, an undercover agent tasked to infiltrate a gang in Barcelona.

The following weapons appear in the video game Wheelman:


Handguns

Beretta 92FS Inox

The first weapon Burik can acquire is a Beretta 92FS Inox with black grips, and controls. Because the pistol uses the same texture on both sides, it has an ambi takedown lever and trigger bar. Has unlimited ammo.

Desert Eagle Mark XIX - .50 AE. The newer Mark XIX models are most distinguishable by the scope rail mount above the barrel, clearly visible here. This is the version of the Desert Eagle popularized by The Matrix, and the most common in current movies and TV shows.

SIG-Sauer P228

Burik holds a P228 on the cover of the game. The same image is seen during the installation menu of the PC version of the game.

Submachine Guns

Heckler & Koch MP5A5

The Heckler & Koch MP5A5 is known as the "SMG". The selector switch is always on safe. The MP5A5 fires in full-auto only, the semi and burst modes are decorative only.

"Wheelman" reloads his MP5A5. Just like in San Andreas, the main character only "imitates" a reload, but does not change magazines at all. Usually, NPC's aren't even bothering to reload.

AKM

The AKM is known as the "Assault Rifle" in the game, and can be described as a hybrid AK; as it has a milled receiver but lacks the strengthened receiver cover, and has an AK-47 style front sight (which is probably the result of a lazy modeling). Miguel Delgado is seen holding an AKM on his character photo.

Machine Gun

FN M249E2 / Minimi Hybrid

The machine gun's overall model resembles the current (2012) FN Minimi (it has a flat sided handguard with textured panels, a cone-shaped flash suppressor, no heat-shield), however minor details (such as the pistol grip with a thumb relief, shape of the trigger guard) are from an M249E2 SAW.
