The [[Gepard anti-materiel rifle series|GM6 Lynx anti-material rifle]] is the anti-materiel rifle of the OPFOR faction. It was first demoed at the Gamescon conference, and was licenced from SERO. It's chambered in 12.7x108mm.
ArmA III is an upcoming military-simulation video game developed and published by Bohemia Interactive Studio (BIS) exclusively for the PC. It is the third installment of the ArmA series, officially announced on May 19, 2011, and is built around the new Real Virtuality 4 engine owned by BIS. Release date for the game is to be announced during 2013. The playable alpha version of the game was made purchasable on the Steam store and BIS' page on March 5, 2013.
The storyline is set in mid-2030s during an international conflict between NATO and the Iranian Armed Forces in the Aegean Sea. The main protagonist is Captain Scott Miller, a former United Kingdom Special Forces (UKSF) operator who becomes stranded on a 350km² fictional Mediterranean island called "Altis" (Based upon the 475km² Greek island, Lemnos), and must fight his way out by building an effective resistance force in the process and cooperate with the local population.
Traditionally with the ArmA series, the player will also be able to play with three more characters: Lieutenant Jeff Larkin, a helicopter pilot; Sergeant Rick Hutchinson, a (possibly) tank commander; and Corporal Ben Kerry, a light infantry soldier - all are serving in different units of the United States Army 7th Infantry Division (7th US Army Europe).
The following weapons are currently seen in early release footage and the playable alpha of the upcoming video game ArmA III:
The Walther P99 serves as the standard sidearm of NATO forces. It's in game designation is P07, and it's chambered for 9x21mm, the same as the OPFOR pistol.
The MP-443 Grach appears as the OPFOR pistol under the fictional classification of Rook 40. Like the P99, it is chambered in 9x21mm, and their magazines are interchangable.
The ACP C2 is the sidearm of the GREENFOR forces. It is a 1911 variant, based on a combination of a variety of models, namely the Kimber Custom Covert II, with the Kimber Desert Warrior and the Colt Rail Gun. It is chambered in .45 ACP and has a magazine capacity of nine.
U.S. Army soldiers use a fictional assault rifle (designed by real-life CMMG, Inc.), that has design elements borrowed from the Remington ACR and Robinson Armament XCR. Compact and light machine gun variants are also available. By default, it fires caseless 6.5mm ammunition, although it could possibly fire traditional cased ammunition, due to the presence of an ejection port on the right-hand side of the weapon.
The MX comes in five variants. A standard rifle, a carbine, an underbarrel launcher, a squad support weapon, and a Designated Marksman variant.
Iranian soldiers are seen with a fictional variant of the DIO KH2002 Sama, known in game as the Katiba 6.5mm. It fires caseless 6.5mm rounds. The front sight has been removed and the carrying handle has been lowered and modified with a rail system. Like the other assault rifles, the KH2002 can be customized with various attachments.
A fictional variant of the FN F2000 Tactical is used by INDFOR soldiers and appears as the Mk 20. It features the Monolith Arms rail system, and can be customized with a variety of attachments. A grenade launcher is available for the weapon and called the "Mk 20GL". It is based on the FN GL-1.
The IMI Tavor TAR-21 is used by the NATO faction, specifically the FIA guerrillas. It's in game designation is the TRG-21, and is chambered in 5.56 NATO.
The Kel-Tec RFB Carbine appears as the SDAR 5.56mm, and is used by all factions, modified into a fictional underwater weapon. It remains visually identical, though
The GM6 Lynx anti-material rifle is the anti-materiel rifle of the OPFOR faction. It was first demoed at the Gamescon conference, and was licenced from SERO. It's chambered in 12.7x108mm.
The Mk 14 Mod 0 EBR is used by both OPFOR and INDFOR soldiers, in the Marksman role. It's known ingame as the Mk 18 ABR 7.62, and is chambered for 7.62 NATO.
The KAC LMG, appearing as the Mk200 6.5mm, is one of the machine guns available to OPFOR in-game. It features a Magpul UBR stock and can be fitted with various accessories. It fires 6.5mm caseless ammunition.
The IMI Negev is the OPFOR medium machine gun, chambered in 7.62mm, and appears as the Zafir 7.62mm. It is fitted with a variety of modern furniture, including a FAB Defense stock.

Image taken from Beta.File:Arma3 negev 2.jpgFPS view of the Zafir. The front iron sight does not fold down, as it does with many other weapons in ArmA 3. This makes mounting sights, while possible, a bit irritating.
Launchers
Metal Storm 3GL
The Metal Storm 3GL is the standard underbarrel launcher of NATO forces.
The NLAW (British designation for the MBT LAW) is the standard launcher of NATO troops. Currently, in the Alpha build, anti-tank launchers can also be used as guided missile launchers. This will be remedied before finalization.
The Browning M2HB is seen mounted on the Unmanned Ground Vehicle (UGV) used by the NATO faction in-game, alongside a possibly unknown model of a grenade launcher. The M2HB is also mounted on the "Panther" Armored Personnel Carrier (derived from the Namer APC), as well as the armed variant of the "Hunter" light armored vehicle (derived from the Oshkosh M-ATV), both used by the Iranian Armed Forces faction.
The GD GAU-19/A is seen mounted on the "Mi-48 Kajman" attack helicopter (derived from the Mi-28 "Havoc") used by the Iranian Armed Forces faction in-game. It is unclear why the GAU-19/A is featured as the main armament of the Mi-48 instead of the Shipunov 2A42, although this reason could be for ArmA III's futuristic background.
As of the moment the following weapons have been removed from the game despite being fully functioning in earlier builds. The developers say that they might make their way back in post-release, "maybe".
