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.

Many seem to mistake this gun for either Beretta 92F or Glock.
Colt Anaconda

Mongoose - the final boss - uses two Mini Uzis in the final gunfight (Mission 33/SSH-1 Military Base - Abortion.)
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 "AR."
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
M60 by it's own name. One of the strongest weapons in the game. It does big damage and holds 200 rounds. However, it has quite a recoil and player's movement slows down when it's out.
It is also used by two bosses of the game; Colonel McCall (Mission 19/SPADS Military Base - Destruction) and General Standwell (Mission 31/SSH-1 Military Base - Anti-Terrorism)
SVD Dragunov
