Revision as of 18:11, 12 January 2013
Tropico is a construction and city building game series where the player assumes the role of the leader of a tropical banana republic. Tropico 1 (2001), Tropico 3 (2009), and Tropico 4 (2011) have a modern setting which gives the player the control of small Caribbean island during the Cold War. Tropico 4 uses the same engine and models as Tropico 3.
The following weapons are featured in the Tropico series:
M1911A1
Generals and El Presidente carry M1911A1 pistols in Tropico 3 & 4.
Browning High Power
Female criminals in Tropico 4 carry oversized Browning High Power pistols.
Heckler & Koch MP5A3
Added in the "Modern Times" expansion for Tropico 4, SWAT Team members carry Heckler & Koch MP5A3s.
AK-47
All soldiers and rebels carry AK type rifles in Tropico 1. In Tropico 3 & 4, only the rebels carry AK rifles.
Tropico 1
Tropico 3 & 4
M16A2
Soldiers in Tropico 3 & 4 carry M16A2 rifles. These rifles are anachronistic because the M16A2 was introduced in the 1980s and Tropico starts in 1950 meaning the M16 rifle series would not be around until a decade after the game is set.
KPVT Heavy Machine Gun
The Junta DLC adds military-themed decorations. These include armored fighting vehicles, which appear to be BTR-60s with a standard KPVT Heavy Machine Gun.
M60 Machine Gun
The icon for the military modernization edict features a South Korean K2 Black Panther tank which presumably mounts a coaxial M60 machine gun.
