Spec Ops: The Line is a 2012 squad-based third-person shooter video game developed by Yager and published by 2K Games, influenced by Joseph Conrad's classic novella Heart of Darkness. Set in the aftermath of a series of devastating sandstorms which have isolated and largely destroyed the city of Dubai, the plot concerns a US Army battalion, the fictional 33rd, under the command of Colonel John Konrad. This battalion defied orders and attempted to evacuate the civilian population, and was thought completely lost until a mysterious looped broadcast was picked up from Konrad declaring the evacuation attempt to have failed. The player takes on the role of Captain Walker, leader of a three-man Delta Force unit sent to find out what happened to the 33rd.
The following weapons appear in the video game Spec Ops: The Line:
Handguns
Beretta M9
A Beretta M9 with a greyish slide is the starting pistol for Walker and the basic sidearm used by enemy soldiers. The gun is modelled with an uncocked hammer, despite being a DA / SA pistol, and Walker is always shown pulling the slide after reloading. Being the weakest gun in the game it is only really a placeholder until the player finds something better.
IMI/Magnum Research Desert Eagle
A Desert Eagle handgun is seen several times during the campaign; per videogame norms it is a supergun, able to kill most regular enemies in a single shot. It features an eight round capacity. While barely seen in the first half of the campaign, it becomes more prominent in the latter portions.
Colt Python
A Colt Python is used by Captain Riggs of the CIA, but can only be used by the player once during the entire campaign. It has similar stats to the Desert Eagle but its recoil is much lower. When reloading Walker appears to use a speedloader.
Submachine Guns
FN P90
The FN P90 is referred to as the "P90". It has a correct capacity of 50 rounds, though oddly the ammo indicator shows the rounds in a helix-like pattern despite the P90 not using a helical magazine. The secondary function toggles a laser sight which improves accuracy in close quarters and becomes less efficient at distance. Its higher rate of fire and stronger round makes it superior to the UMP45 in every way possible.
Heckler & Koch MP7A1
The MP7A1 is unlocked at Rank 4.
Heckler & Koch UMP45
The UMP45 is the first of two SMGs the player encounters in the campaign. The gun is modeled with a 25 round straight magazine. It has very low recoil and is very powerful when in close quarters. In most chapters involving indoor combat enemies will be armed with this weapon. The weapon icon shows a built in foregrip similar to that seen in Counter-Strike but the in-game model does not.
IMI Micro Uzi
The Micro Uzi is called the "Micro 9mm;" it is treated as a pistol, and is one of the more common weapons early in the game. It has a 32-round capacity, even though it is modeled with a 15-round magazine. The secondary fire key allows Walker to attach a suppressor to the weapon.
TDI Vector
The TDI Vector is available in MP. It is unlocked at Rank 23 and features a non-removable suppressor.
Assault and Battle Rifles
AK-103
The AK-103 (evident by the stamped receiver, AK-74-style flash hider and 90 degree gas block) with wooden stock and hand-guard appears in the game as the "AK-47". It is the AK-103-2 variant, since it has selectable fire modes (burst and auto) as its secondary function. Unfortunately the in-game model of the AK-pattern rifles always have the safety engaged.
AKMSU
The AKMSU appears in MP where it is listed as "AKS-74U". It has a bakelite magazine. This is the starting assault rifle in the game.
Colt M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 is Walker's starting rifle and is used by enemies throughout the game; it is also Walker's designated weapon and he will always be shown carrying one in cutscenes regardless of what the player is actually equipped with. It is possible to attach a suppressor anytime during gameplay using the secondary fire ability. For some reason, the M4 has two rear iron sights, a flip up type and an A2 type; it is shown with tan furnishings, a Magpul-style handling loop on the magazine, an extended flash hider, and an aftermarket handguard seemingly based on the VLTOR CASV-EL. It provides a higher rate of fire than other assault rifles, but does not have fire mode selection and is weaker than the battle rifles. In one cutscene Walker uses a Surefire weaponlight, but this ability is not seen in gameplay.
FAMAS F1
The FAMAS F1 is a mid-to-late game assault rifle first encountered in the chapter "The Road." The secondary fire mode toggles between burst and full-auto fire modes; this means there is no ability to toggle the ACOG sight fitted to the weapon, which is always on.
FN SCAR-H CQC
The FN SCAR-H appears late in the game as a high-level assault rifle. It is shown with a CQC barrel, M16-style flash hider, and an FN Mk. 13 grenade launcher. It is full-auto only due to the grenade launcher being the secondary function.

Heckler & Koch HK417
The Heckler & Koch HK417 is called the "417" and is depicted as a semi-automatic rifle with a ten-round magazine and a togglable scope as the secondary function; the model shows a reflex sight mounted in front of a magnifying scope.
IMI Tavor TAR-21
Sergeant Lugo's standard assault rifle is a TAR-21. It is shown with standard 30 round magazines, cloth wrapped around the stock and the hand guard, and no optical scope. It is never seen in the hands of the enemy and can only be attained by the player at the end of Chapter 13.
OTs-14-4A-01
The OTs-14-4A-01 is unlocked at Rank 15. Listed as "OTS-14".
Shotguns
AA-12
The AA-12 is seen towards the end of the game, often in the hands of heavy troops. It is the third shotgun the player can have and is superior to both shotguns in every way. It is equipped with a 20 round magazine and its accuracy allows it be effective at far greater distances than the other two shotguns. Its main downside is that it does not share shotgun ammunition with the other shotguns, and its rate of fire will drain its magazine extremely quickly.
Benelli M4 Super 90
The Benelli M4 Super 90 is the second shotgun available, using the US military "M1014" designation, though the model is incorrect for a military shotgun as it only has a 4-round tube. It holds more shells than the W1200 and has greater range, making it a superior weapon, and is correctly shown firing in semi-auto mode rather than pump-action.
Mossberg 590
The Mossberg 590 is the first shotgun unlocked in multiplayer. Appears as "M-590".
Winchester Model 1200
The Winchester Model 1200 is called the "W1200," and is shown with a sawed-off barrel and stock and cloth wrapped around the grips. When firing, the breach can be seen cycling. Its power is amazingly strong in close quarters, and its fire speed makes it useful during blind fire. It is the most commonly found shotgun in the game.
Sniper Rifles
Barrett M99
The Barrett M99 is called the "M-99 Sniper." Appearing only once in the chapter "Adams," it is an incredibly powerful weapon able to down a Heavy soldier in just two shots, but being single-shot must be reloaded each time it is fired. Like the Steyr Elite, its secondary fire toggles between 8x and 16x scope magnification.
Heckler & Koch MSG90
The "MSG 90" of the game is a hybrid of an older MSG90 (stock and butt pad design, bipod) and the newer MSG90 A1 (threaded barrel with flash hider, angled charging handle, iron sights). It is available in multiplayer only.
Knight's Armament Company M110 SASS
The M110 SASS is unlocked at Rank 17.
Steyr Elite
The Steyr Elite appears in the game as a usable sniper rifle. It is incorrectly listed as and referred to by Walker as the "Scout Tactical". The main sniper rifle in the campaign, its secondary fire toggles between 8x and 16x magnification. For greater control Walker can crouch, reducing the amount of drift.
Machine Guns
Browning M2HB
One Browning M2HB is mounted on a Humvee during the parking lot shootout. It is not usable by Walker.
Browning M2A2
The Browning M2A2 Heavy Machine Gun, called the "M2E2 HMG," is seen at fixed points throughout the game, always fitted with a metal gunshield. It has an unlimited amount of ammunition and is governed by a heat gauge, with the barrel glowing red hot and steaming from the muzzle if the weapon is fired for too long. Walker is able to crouch while using the turret, "blind firing" the weapon by leaning up with one hand for better protection but decreased accuracy.
FN M249E2 SAW
The FN M249E2 Squad Automatic Weapon is Lieutenant Adams' main weapon throughout the campaign, and is used by most of the blast suit clad heavy enemies. Unlike the other weapons, its ammunition capacity is shown as two solid white bars, each representing 50 rounds. Rather predictably, it cannot use the 30-round STANAG magazine used by the M4A1 and TAR-21; this functionality is seldom used in real life due to reliability issues, but is as usual in games not even presented as an option.
General Dynamics GAU-17/A
The General Dynamics GAU-17/A Minigun can be seen mounted on Black Hawk helicopters, and is used by Walker in the flash-foward introduction.
Launchers
FN MK 13
The FN Mk. 13 is mounted on the SCAR-H CQC. It has a limit of three rounds and switches the crosshair to a leaf sight style reticle when selected.
M224 Mortar
An M224 Mortar is used by Walker, Lugo and Adams to launch white phosphorous rounds at a large group of soldiers. Walker first launches a fictional "camera" round to provide the satellite-style overhead view used to aim the weapon, viewing the output on a laptop and giving orders for shots to his squadmates. The decision by Walker to make use of this weapon proves to be a pivotal event in the game's plot.
Milkor MGL Mk 1L
The Milkor MGL Mk 1L is seen throughout the campaign, though it is rarely used by enemies. Rounds are loaded one at a time, meaning it is slow to use, but due to reasonably realistic blast radius it is one of the most powerful weapons available.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 is found occasionally during the campaign; it is instant death to all enemy types within the substantial blast radius, though ammo is rare and little can be carried. It is sometimes seen in the hands of enemies, and is an instant kill if it hits directly.
Explosives
M67 Hand Grenade
The frag grenades seen in game are M67 hand grenades.
M84 Stun Grenade
The M84 stun grenade is simply called the "stun grenade." Walker can pick up and use stun grenades himself, or if the AI detects the player is suppressed Adams will offer a prompt to throw one at nearby enemies.
"Sticky Grenade"
The third grenade type is a "Sticky Grenade". Once thrown, the surrounding frame of the grenade splits apart, revealing the sticky explosive underneath. Sticky grenades have a longer fuse than standard hand grenades, but can stick to enemies who will often panic and run towards others.
