==Mauser C96 Carbine==
In the present pre-alpha, a carbine C96 is the main weapon for all soldiers in the "Pilot" and "Tanker" classes.
Battlefield 1 is a first-person shooter under development by Swedish game developer DICE and to be published by Electronic Arts, and the next installment in the popular Battlefield series. It appears to be set in a fictionalized version of the First World War, with players taking on the role of soldiers in the trenches or controlling vehicles from tanks and early fighter planes to armored trains and zeppelins.
Current footage is from trailers, and E3 2016 footage and online streams of a highly incomplete multiplayer pre-alpha build. The main map seen in this footage is "The St. Quentin Scar," set during the Battle of Mont Saint-Quentin in 1918.
The game's class system is altered somewhat from previous incarnations. The Assault class is close to the anti-tank classes of previous games, using heavy anti-vehicle weapons and submachine guns or shotguns, the Medic class are general-purpose combatants with automatic or semi-automatic rifles, the Support class use machine guns, and the Scout class use sniper rifles. There are also new vehicle-using "Tanker" and "Pilot" classes, both using pistol-carbines and the former having a repair tool; these appear to be automatically assigned if the player chooses to spawn directly inside a vehicle.
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 1:
The "M1911" in the game is a hybrid with features of both the M1911 and M1911A1, the latter being anachronistic since the M1911A1 was not standardised until 1926. It has a long M1911-style trigger and hammer spur and a short grip safety spur, but an A1-style frame cutout behind the trigger, no diamond markings on the grip, and a curved mainspring housing.
A Mauser C96 can be seen on the boxart as well as second gameplay trailer. In the present pre-alpha a carbine C96 is the main weapon for all soldiers in the "Pilot" and "Tanker" classes.
A Luger P08 appears in the Red Baron Pack, which is included in the Early Enlister Deluxe Edition.

This train served on both sides during the Russian Civil War and undertook a remarkable journey across the world, ultimately ending up in the hands of the Japanese military after being seized from Chinese forces in Manchuria.
Submachine Guns
Bergmann MP18
The Bergmann MP18 is also seen on the boxart as well as second gameplay trailer.
The Beretta M1918 submachine gun is shown in the second gameplay trailer. Presumably due to the continued existence of Beretta's name trademark, in the pre-alpha multiplayer gameplay footage it is called the "Automatico M1918."
Error creating thumbnail: File missingBeretta M1918 submachine gun with folding spike bayonet - 9mm GlisentiError creating thumbnail: File missingA soldier holds a Beretta M1918 submachine gun as he gets buzzed by a Sopwith Camel. The sight visible to the left of the magazine is based on an experimental magnifying sight developed for the Lee-Enfield rifle, though it was never used on the M1918 and is probably another "accessory" upgrade.
Italian soldiers in the first trailer are seen with what appear to be ersatz Carcano 1891 Cavalry Carbines made out of the game's other rifle models. Since the soldiers are only seen briefly, the models are almost certainly placeholders for an actual Carcano model to be completed later.
The Winchester Model 1907 appears to be a weapon for the medic class; it is shown with a 10-round magazine which somehow contains 20 rounds. While 15 and 20-round magazines were used on French Model 1907s, the one shown in the game is not nearly large enough. One player character is also shown with one fitted with a bayonet and Thompson submachine gun foregrip, a modification made in real life by members of John Dillinger's gang, though it is not known to have been done to any French military rifle. Of the two attachment presets available in the game, one is semi-automatic only while the other is select-fire; French M1907s were often converted to select-fire.
The 1.59-inch Breech-Loading Vickers Q.F. Gun Mk II, a rather obscure weapon designed for attacking enemy fortifications and quickly replaced in infantry use by the Stokes Trench Mortar, is a deployable weapon for the assault class, similar to the rocket and missile launchers of previous games. It is referred to in the game as the "AT Rocket Gun," which is an error not entirely of the developers' making: due to the two flames emitted from holes in the base of incendiary shells for the aircraft-mounted version, it was popularly known as the "Vickers-Crayford Rocket Gun"
The Geballte Ladung appears to be a weapon used by the assault class, and is seen on the belt of an Allied soldier in the teaser trailer as well as in a multiplayer footage.
The British Mark V tank incorrectly has a Lewis Gun mounted on the bow, which can be used by the driver; in real life, there would be a separate gunner for the machine gun mounted here. Lewis guns were mounted on previous Marks of British tank, but the Mark V used Hotchkiss guns instead. Mark V tanks seem to be used by both sides, which is actually accurate; huge numbers of tanks were abandoned following failed advances and pressed back into service with German forces.
Fixed Maxim machine guns can be found around maps seen in the multiplayer pre-alpha. These are shown fitted with a Russian-style ribbed water jacket. A similar Maxim is seen mounted in a cupola on top of the British airship, which is actually a German P-Class Zeppelin.
The German A7V tank is equipped with a 57mm main gun and a number of Maxim MG08 machine guns that can be used by the crew. As with the Mark V, the A7V is shown being used by both sides, which is a little less likely since only 20 were built and the British and French already had tanks that were superior to them.
During the second gameplay trailer, one player character is seen manning a 7.7cm Feldkanone 96 n.A., followed by the POV player character taking control of one and using it to shoot a British Mark V "male" tank. More Feldkanones are seen around control points in multiplayer footage.
Fixed 21cm Mörser 16 heavy howitzers are seen in preview trailers and around base areas in the multiplayer footage. In the E3 2016 multiplayer footage the teams did not seem to be using them, implying that whatever mechanics they are to use have not been implemented yet.
