Xenonauts is a turn-based strategy game developed by Goldhawk Interactive for PC, Mac and Linux platforms. In inspired by 1994's UFO: Enemy Unknown, the player commands a clandestine organization known as the Xenonauts, attempting to defeat an alien invasion of Earth in the alternate history year 1979. The game is currently in Beta.
The following weapons can be seen in the game:
Handguns
Beretta 92F
A Beretta 92 variant, presumably the 92F, appears as "Ballistic Pistol", and can be equipped by soldiers in between missions. The weapon is also seen in the hands of Police Officers and Local Forces during missions. The weapon has an inaccurate 12 round magazine, and polymer grips.
M1911A1
The Colt M1911A1 appears in game files as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternate" weapon set. It does not appear anywhere else in game.
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM appears in game in the hands of Police and Local Forces during missions. It cannot be equipped by the soldiers in between missions and picking one up during battle transforms it into a Beretta 92. It also exists as an unimplemented weapon in game files in the "Soviet" weapon set, where two versions can be found; one with wood grips and one with black polymer grips.
Shotguns
"Ballistic Shotgun"
What appears to be a generic mix of several different shotguns appears in game as the "Ballistic Shotgun". It can be equipped by Xenonaut Soldiers in between missions, and is also used by Local Forces such as Police and Arctic Researchers, and can be picked up from dead or incapacitated NPCs. The weapon holds 8 rounds and has a short range. A soldier using the weapon can be seen using the pump-action after shooting, but the fact that the weapon has a tube magazine is not represented in game; the shotgun shell inventory item works basically as a detachable magazine (Replenishing the ammunition capacity of the weapon to full in a single action).
"Farmer's Shotgun"
The Farmer's Shotgun appears in the game in the hands of Local Forces such as Farmers during missions, and cannot be equipped by Xenonaut Soldiers. It is not available for equipment in between missions, and during missions picking one up will transform it into a Ballistic Shotgun. It also appears in game files as an unimplemented weapon, known as the "Soviet shotgun", and is part of the "Soviet" weapon set. The most notable difference in appearance is the wooden furniture of the Farmer's shotgun as opposed to the black furniture of the Ballistic shotgun.
Assault Rifles
AK-47
The AK-47 appears in game in the hands of NPC Soldiers and Local Forces during missions in the Soviet Union and Middle East. It cannot be equipped by Xenonaut troops in between missions. In earlier builds, picking one up during a mission transformed the gun into an M16, however in the latest update, the weapon has it's own GUI image, but still retains the same stats and characteristics as the M16A1 when equipped (such magazine capacity, ammunition type and effective range). The appearance of this weapon in the hands of soviet troops is somewhat anachronistic as by 1979 it would have been somewhat replaced by either the AKM or AK-74. The weapon also appears in game files in the "Soviet" weapon set, and is seen in two versions; one with wooden furniture and one with black, presumably polymer, furniture.
M16A1
The Colt M16A1 appears in game as "Assault Rifle", and can be equipped by soldiers in between missions. It can also be seen in the hands of NPC Soldiers and Local Forces during missions. Unlike the real weapon, the Assault Rifle is only capable of semi-automatic or 3-round burst fire. It loads from a 20 round magazine.
"M16 Short"
A Colt Carbine variant of the M16 appears in game files under the name "M16 short" as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternative" weapon set.
Sniper Rifles
"Precision Rifle"
A sniper variant of the H&K G3 Rifle appears in game as the "Precision Rifle", and can be equipped by Soldiers in between missions. The weapon loads from a 20 round magazine which inaccurately has a 10 round capacity in game. It is only capable of semi-automatic fire.
SVD-M Dragunov
The SVD-M appears in game files as an unimplemented weapon in the "Soviet" weapon set, and does not appear normally in game. The weapon has black polymer furniture and, unlike other Soviet weapons in the game, does not feature a version with wooden furniture.
PSG-1
The H&K PSG-1 appears in game files as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternative" weapon set. It does not appear anywhere else in game.
"HKPG2"
Another variant of the H&K G3 rifle appears in game files, referenced only as the "HKPG2", as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternative" weapon set. It does not appear anywhere else in game. It has a shorter magazine than all other G3 derivatives that appear, possibly reflecting the actual in-game 10 round magazine capacity of the Sniper Rifle.
Machine Guns
FN MAG
The FN MAG appears in game as the "Machine Gun", and can be equipped by Soldiers in between missions. The weapon feeds from 50 round belts. The weight of the weapon is reflected in game, as a soldier carrying it who is not strong enough will suffer a reduction in movement. The weapon fires in 5 round bursts, has black furniture and an unusable bipod.
"MG42"
A weapon known as the "MG42" appears in game files as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternative" weapon set. It does not appear anywhere else it game. The weapon has a black, presumably polymer, grip and stock. Somewhat inaccurate, as the MG3 would be a more era-appropriate weapon.
HK21
The HK21 appears in game files under the name "MG53" as an unimplemented weapon in the "Alternative" weapon set. It does not appear normally in game. The weapon, like other firearms in the Machine Gun category in game, appears to feed from belts rather than magazines. Unlike other weapons in it's class, it is fitted with a scope.
PK
The PK Machine Gun appears in game files under the name "PK" as an unimplemented weapon in the "Soviet" weapon set, and does not appear normally in game. As with most soviet weapons, two variants of it exist; one with wooden furniture, and one with black polymer furniture.
M2 Browning
The M2 Browning appears in game as the ".50 Cal", and is the default weapon for combat vehicles such as the Ferret Armoured Car. However, the in-mission weapon appears to be dual M1919 Machine Guns.
Rocket Launchers
Mk153 Mod 0 SMAW
The SMAW appears in game as the "Rocket Launcher", and can be equipped by Xenonaut Soldiers in between missions. It can be carried, operated and reloaded by a single soldier in game, but both the launcher and ammunition are heavy, and firing or reloading requires a lot of time units. Unlike most conventional firearms in game, which may get replaced by Laser, Plasma or Railgun weapons as the technology becomes available, the Rocket Launcher is persistent throughout, but the warheads on the rockets get upgraded. As a result, the weapon is capable of launching High Explosive, Stun, Alenium, Plasma, Incendiary or Fusion Rounds. The weapon seen in game is technically anachronistic as the Rocket Launcher is available from the start in 1979, but it can be explained away as an early prototype based on the B-300.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 appears in game files known as the "RPG7" in the "Soviet" weapon set, and does not appear normally in game. The weapon comes in two versions; one with wooden furniture and one with black furniture.
Hand Grenades
"Frag Grenade"
Xenonaut Soldiers can be equipped with Fragmentation Grenades from the beginning of the game.
"Smoke Grenade"
Xenonaut Soldiers can be equipped with Smoke Grenades from the beginning of the game. A variant of these grenades can be developed that emit sleep gas; useful for capturing aliens alive.
"Flashbang"
Xenonaut Soldiers can be equipped with Flashbang Grenades from the beginning of the game.
