XIII is a 2003 first-person shooter video game developed by Ubisoft Paris and published by Ubisoft. It is based off the 1984 Belgian graphic novel of the same name, written by written by Jean Van Hamme and William Vance and is loosely based off the events of the first five volumes. The game is known for it's stylistic comic book-like visuals, utilizing cel-shaded graphics very nicely for it's time.
The protagonist is a amnesic man with roman numeral XIII on right shoulder. Found one a beach by a lifeguard, he is first identified as Steve Rowland and is apparently the perpitrator of the recent assassination of the US President. To find out the truth, XIII embarks on a quest to recover his memory by tracing his steps. However, he is targetted by his former employers - a elusive conspiracy group aiming to overthrow the US goverment. His undertaking is complicated by hitmen - lead by a man known as The Mongoose - as well as Steve Rowland's old army unit - SPADS.
English version contains voicework of David Duchovny, Eve and Adam West
Taurus PT911
Stainless Taurus PT911 appears as 9mm Pistol. The most frequently encountered handgun in the game. It comes with a supressor for Missions that have major stealth segments.
Many seem to mistake this gun for either Beretta 92F or Glock.
Colt Anaconda
Colt Anaconda with 8" barrel appears as .44 Special.
Remington 870
Remington 870 Marine Magnum appears as Pump-Action Shotgun.
Two-Barrelled Shotgun
Shotgun
Mini Uzi
Mini Uzi appears as Mini Gun. Holds 32 rounds.
Norinco Type 56
Norinco Type 56 appears as 'Kalash. Even though it implies to be a Russian AK-47, the in-game model has hooded front sight that of the Chinese Type 56.
M16 + M203 Combo
M16 with M203 with M203 40mm grenade launcher appears as Assault Rifle.
It is shown as a older Vietnam-Era M16 with 20-round magazine, despite in-game gun having 30 round capacity. Not only that, but it seems to have the M203 attached straight to the handguard.
M60
SVD Dragunov
SVD Dragunov appears as Sniper Rifle. True to it's nature, it's ideal for taking out enemies from the distance, and it's powerful enough to kill enemies in mere few hits.
Precariously, the game claims that the SVD is chambered in .50 BMG, which is absurd. So far, there is no known SVD Dragunov variant that can fire a .50 cal bullet. As of 2017, the heaviest round a Dragunov-type sniper rifle can fire is 9.3×64mm 7N33/Brenneke and only model this can be done with is the SVDK.
Panzerfaust 3
Panzerfaust 3 appears as Bazooka. It shown to reloadable launcher like RPG-7. In reality, Panzerfaust 3 is a single-use anti-tank weapon and cannot be reloaded with a new warhead on field.
