NecroVisioN is a 2009 FPS videogame set in 1916 during World War I. The player takes the role of Simon Bukner, a young American soldier recently recruited into the British Army. In addition to German soldiers, Simon soon finds himself fighting supernatural forces, including vampires, demons, and zombies found in locations varying from the battlefields of World War I to secret laboratories and underground caverns. The main setting is the battle of the Somme, during which a rumor of a mysterious infection has appeared, which causes all people to turn into zombie-like state. Later, the game takes the player into two new settings; the underground realm of Vampires, and the demonic realm, Hell. A prequel entitled NecroVisioN: Lost Company was released in 2010.
The following weapons are used in the game NecroVisioN:
Sidearms
Colt M1911
The Colt M1911 is the standard sidearm for the player. The player can use two Colt M1911 simultaneously, or combine it with the Luger P08 and other hand weapons.
Luger P08
The Luger P08. Weapon of German soldiers. Weaker than the Colt M1911, but the magazine is placed 8 rounds. The player can use two Luger simultaneously, or combine it with the Colt M1911 and other hand weapons.
Sub Machine Guns
Bergmann MP18
The Bergmann MP18. Weapon of German soldiers. It is a common misconception that the MP18 wasn't introduced until 1918 with the Ludendorff offensive. However, this is not the case as there are reports that it arrived on the battlefield (albeit in small numbers) as early as 1916.
Rifles
Mauser Gewehr 1898
The standard-issue rifle carried by ingame German soldiers, just as in the real-life WWI. It can attach an 1898/05 bayonet, as well a scope and rifle grenade launcher. It cannot be reloaded with stripper clips ingame, instead the player character inserts one round after another. This could be done in real life, but practically the stripper clips were used whenever possible. It is likely the game developers implemented this so they would not have to program in separate reload animations for scoped and unscoped variants of the rifle, since scoped versions would obstruct the use of stripper clips to reload.
Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.III
Starting rifle of player, and other British soldiers. Surprisingly the reloading is accurate, something seen very rarely in video games. A 10-round magazine reloads via two 5-round stripper clips, player must have discharged at least five rounds before inserting a single clip, and must completely empty the weapon to fully reload it. Can be equipped bayonet. Also available with sniper scope, and with rifle grenade launcher.
Shotguns
Winchester Model 1897
The Winchester Model 1897 used only player. It has the 5 rounds magazine. Oddly enough, the shotgun is often found in the German trenches and fortifications.
Machine Guns
Maxim MG08/15
The Maxim MG08/15 - portable machinegun, used by German stormtroopers. A player may take two machine guns at once. The game also has mounted MG08/15. They can be used enemies, and the player.
Other
Stielhandgranate
Standard grenade of German army. The game refers to them as the "Model 15 Stielhandgranate", but the in-game grenades look like later anachronistic Model 24 Stielhandgranate.
Stielhandgranate "Geballte Ladung"
The powerful complect of grenades. Used only by the player.
Mk 1 hand grenade
Mk 1 hand grenade used only the player.
Dynamite
Dynamite is used only by the player. It can be laid in various locations. Also, can use it as a throwing weapon.
