Attachments
Side Attachments
These mount on the right side of the weapon.
IR Pointer
The IR Laser Pointer gives the user a beam of light down the muzzle, giving off a NV-visible only laser that indicates the user's muzzle point. It's used by both BLUFOR and OPFOR.
Flashlight
The Flashlight is used as a low tech alternative to other night vision devices. It compromises one's visibility, though.
Optics
These mount atop the weapon, on the optic rail. If a weapon has folding iron sights, they will fold down, but not all do.
ACO (Advanced Colliminator Optic)
The ACO is one of the few attachments with two versions, one for BLUFOR, and one for OPFOR and INDFOR. It appears to be based on the C-More Railway reflex sight.
Holosight
The Holosight is an EOTech-like sight, used by all factions. It is based on the EOTech XPS3.
RCO (Rifle Combat Optic)
The RCO gives a 12x image, and has built in drop comp and a red dot sight mounted atop the optic. Used by the BLUFOR faction.
ARCO (Advanced Rifle Combat Optic)
Despite the Advanced moniker, these are very similar to the RCO, both having built in drop comp, dot sight and 12x zoom. Used by the OPFOR faction.
MRCO (Multi Range Combat Optic)
The MRCO is a simple, 10x optic, that can be toggled between non-zoomed, and zoomed view. It's used by the INDFOR AAF, and the BLUFOR FIA factions.
SOS (Sniper Optical Sight)
The SOS is used with the anti-materiel rifles. It has a variable 10 to 84x zoom, and can be adjusted to hit up to 2300m targets. It's shared by all factions.
NVS (Night Vision Sight)
The NVS is used by the BLUFOR and INDFOR factions, and is a 10x night vision sight.
TWS (Thermal Weapon Sight
The TWS is a high tech thermal/day sight, and comes in two variants. One for standard weapons, with a zoom range of 10-23x and rangefinding, and one designed for machine guns, with a zoom range of 10-27x. The TWS MG does not have zeroing, but does have drop comp markers. Both variants are universal between the factions.
Nightstalker
The Nightstalkers is a high tech nightvision/thermal/day sight, with a zoom range of 5-25x, and a rangefinder. It has the unique feature of identifying targets, the display of the rifle lighting up as one aims at a target. It is exclusive to the OPFOR faction.
MRD
The MRD is a pistol mounted collimator sight, mounted exclusively on heavy pistols. It's used by BLUFOR, and is typically on their 4-five pistols.
Yorris J2
The Yorris J2 is a pistol mounted collimator sight, mounted on heavy pistols. It's a rough equivilent to the MRD, except for the OPFOR side.
DMS
The DMS is a marksman optic with 12x zoom. It's used by the OPFOR side, typically mounted on their Rahim rifles. It has a small RDS mounted on the top, as well.
Suppressors
These mount on the Muzzle slot of the weapon. No weapon needs to change ammo type if a suppressor is attached, though this may change post-Alpha.
6.5mm Suppressor
This is used by every 6.5mm weapon, namely assault rifles.
5.56mm Suppressor
This is used on 5.56mm weapons, like the TRG-21, and the Mk 20.
6.5mm LMG Suppressor
This is used exclusively by the Mk 200 machine gun, and the MX SW.
7.62mm Suppressor
Used by 7.62mm weapons, like the Mk 18, and the Zafir.
9mm Suppressor
These snap on 9mm weapons, like pistols and SMGs.
.45 Suppressor
Used by .45 weapons, like the ACP-C2, and the Vermin SMG.
Other Variants
FN F2000 Tactical
The Mk 20 comes in two colour variants. The green camo variant is detailed on the main page. The plain brown version is on display here.
Discussion
F2000 Foregrip
The F2000's foregrip is a Monolith Arms Tri-Rail System. Since Monolith Arms got bought by Magpul, Magpul may start producing them. I don't know. But that's why the F2000 has the P90 style foregrip. http://i78.photobucket.com/albums/j112/Halomfg/DSCN5779.jpg?t=1257801238 --1SAZ 03:35, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
- If they started producing them again I might actually take a look at buying an FS 2000. That Monolith Arms foregrip is just too badass. --AdAstra2009 22:17, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
Sniper rifle on the poster.
I put it down as a Barrett M99, but can't be absolutely certain that its not a Barrett M95 without seeing the magazine (of lack thereof), but the length of the forend makes me think M99. Can anyone who knows more about these confirm? Jimmoy 09:52, 23 June 2011 (CDT)
Well, the guys on BIS forums are guessing M95. Also, about that unknown gun, it kinda sorta could be the new Skorpion. The EVO one? Tanaj 18:20, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
- I think your very well right about the unknown gun being the CZ SCORPION EVO 3 A1, yep, it's defiantly it, way to go Tanaj! :) Mr. Wolf 21:51, 26 June 2011 (CDT)
- Well, to be honest I looked it up on their forum. But to my credit it was one of my guesses even before that. :) Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Machine gun - Caseless ammo?
Anyone else notice that the ammo appears to look like the LSAT's caseless round? (http://cdn1.thefirearmsblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/06/lsat_ammunition-tfb.jpg for reference) --Chrausis 09:50, 28 June 2011 (CDT)
- Difficult to say, might be just an early model, but I do remember seeing a screenshot from the E3 presentation with a reload/pickup prompt with some more exotic round. 6.8 I think, but I'm not sure. Tanaj 09:02, 1 July 2011 (CDT)
Any ideas?
on what the unknown rifle is? i've seen the stock somewhere but the straight mag throws me (Could be for 6.5/6.8mm rounds) http://i.imgur.com/wUNOD.jpg Source:http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=0tOSjYgGvHw#!
Looks to just be Bohemia's take on the Remington ACR, similar to their take on the KAC LMG. Stock seems to be a cross between the ACR adjustable stock and a Magpul UBR, receiver configuration looks to have the same profile. Same overall weapon profile, with some key differences (Like location of the charging handle, and rail system). But my money is that it was just based off of the ACR. Halorocka888 18:50, 1 June 2012 (CDT)
- Confirmed by a inside source, its in game name is the MX, its the NATO standard rifle and it fires the 6.5 Grendel. scarecrow 06:36, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
Is it just me or does the magazine look too small for 6.5mm Grendel? Or maybe the scaling is just off in that first screenshot. Also, it is odd they have made the magazine straight, as the 6.5mm Grendel roung has a taper so the mag would need to be curved just like a .223. --commando552 06:45, 7 June 2012 (CDT)
- That said, could it perhaps be chambered in some fictional caseless round? From what I understand (which is, granted, only stuff freely available online), the LSAT concept using a 5.56mm round isn't finalised and could be subject to change (assuming it ever sees the light of day). I suspect that this might be Bohemia's guess at what the LSAT rifle might look like. Just conjecture, but I thought it couldn't hurt to float the idea. Jimmoy 20:10, 4 July 2012 (CDT)
Glock 19
As noted as a PO7, it is most likely a place holder for the CZ PO7 Duty, thoughts? scarecrow 01:49, 10 July 2012 (CDT)
- It's probably just a fictionalized name. ArmA II used G17 for it, and it looks like a nearly photo identical model was used for ArmA III. Dannysaysnoo 18:19, 2 February 2013
- Something fun I noticed during a trawl through some Gamescon 2012 footage.
- Click on that and expand it. The "Glock" is chambered in 9x21mm. It seems to mention a weapon similar to the PP-2000 as well. Dannysaysnoo 21:49, 8 Febuary 2013
Alpha release on March 5th
The alpha release will be on March 5th. We've been promised 12 weapons. I'll try and find out which as soon as I can. Dannysaysnoo 22:48, 26 Febuary 2013

How to Take Good Close-up Pics
In this case the game let's us skip having to position the player so we can get a good angle on a gun.
In the editor place any soldier. Then go to Empty -> Ammo and you will see a list of Ammo Crates you can place that contain any and every infantry weapon in the game. Click Preview to go ingame and then press Escape. Click the Camera button and the game will pause. You now have full control of the camera from position to depth of field to blur. You can zoom as close to any object as you want.Temp89 (talk) 12:57, 4 August 2013 (EDT)
- I'll keep that in mind. I'm going to to a total recall on all pictures when the game is on general release, and make new ones. I'm not happy with a lot of them. Mainly, I'm going to take pictures in more varied locations, with more varied soldiers. It always bugs me when it's obvious someone is farming screenshots. Dannysaysnoo 01:41, 4 August 2013 (GMT)
Final game inventory pics from official site
http://www.arma3.com/launch-countdown
Under the weapons section the page has been updated with all the inventory pics of every gun in every single configuration. STK CPW is the PDW2000.Temp89 (talk) 18:44, 27 August 2013 (EDT)
Seperation of Cut weapons and Final weapons
Very good, I wanted to do this at some point after release. I remained naive, asking for the KSG for ages. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 07:19, 28 August 2013 (EDT)
COMPLETE REFRESH OF PAGE FOR RELEASE VERSION
That's it. It took me about 7 hours straight, but I've replaced every blurry, grainy, useless image with a clean one from the release version. I've also added the Mk32 GMG, and added some text in some places. I'm real tired, and I need a nap. *Drops the mic* - Dannysaysnoo (talk) 00:54, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
How I Arranged The Page.
Part of my post-release screenshot fest was a severe rearranging of the order of firearms. I arranged them, by faction. NATO > CSAT > AAF > FIA. For the mounted weapons, I also arranged them by Mounted > Aircraft Mounted. Dannysaysnoo (talk) 19:33, 13 September 2013 (EDT)
Change the name of guns to their real life name
With most all of the guns in the game having fictional names, it's handy that a friend of mine produced a mod that changes names to something less silly. You can get it here. https://www.dropbox.com/s/2sere6rpapdwk21/@FA_warname.zip Dannysaysnoo (talk) 12:21, 10 January 2014 (EST)
New guns being added
The Marksmen DLC adds 7 new guns. Only artworks available so far. One has been IDed as the LWMMG. http://arma3.com/marksmen-challenge#.VPMudGdyY2g Temp89 (talk)
- The "Mk4 EMR" most definitely looks like a SIG SG-556 with features from the SG-556 DMR, and some sort of fictional .338 Magwell to me.
