I took a bunch of images for this game and combined them with some firearm ID info I found online. Needs help by proofreading and double checking the weapons IDs.--Wuzh (talk) 10:45, 6 December 2017 (EST)
Just a note, you only use "is based on" if it isn't clearly one thing or another. The Caulden isn't based on an M1911 variant, it is an M1911 variant. Evil Tim (talk) 02:54, 8 December 2017 (EST)
Well... I prefer writing "based on" because I feel uncomfortable with the "this is incorrect and wrong" attitude IMFDB seems to bring out. I've seen so many pages where the writer is like "this rail is two centimeters shorter than the real one so it's incorrect," (obviously not this extreme, but I just want to illustrate my point) I just feel anxious writing such things, so I prefer to keep my writing to a more neutral style, using "based on" when any gun looks like it's even slightly stylized in some media. I'm sorry if that's not what IMFDB looks for, but I'm sure others can help if this is a problem. --Wuzh (talk) 06:35, 8 December 2017 (EST)
On a side note, I literally cannot play this game. For whatever reason, every server I go into has a 200+ ping, creating like 3 seconds of lag and making it impossible for me to get new mercs. All the images I have are collected from free mercs in weekly rotation. I would appreciate any help for taking pictures, just the idle and the inspection images should be fine for now. Go into settings and disable the crosshair then set the HUD alpha to 0 to hide everything but the Beta Build watermark, which I presume cannot be removed by any means. --Wuzh (talk) 06:35, 8 December 2017 (EST)
Actually I'm fine now. I don't know what optimization magic they did but the game now runs fine.--Wuzh (talk) 03:59, 15 December 2017 (EST)
Dirty Bomb is a free-to-play mutliplayer first-person shooter developed by Splash Damage, creators of Brink and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. The game features multiple classes, also known as mercs, each with their own abilities, while the arsenal available to individual mercs are selected from a common pool, and come in individual sets known as loadout cards.
Gameplay-wise, the game is on the arcadey side, with very little weapon spread even when running. It is possible to aim down the iron sights, but doing so restricts the player to walking, making them a very easy target in such a fast-paced game.
Most weapons in the game are based on real firearms, with stylized appearances, fictional markings and names.
The following weapons appear in the video game Dirty Bomb:
The KEK-10 is based on the PTR 32P PDW R. It appears to be somewhat of a hybrid with other G3 carbine variants, featuring automatic fire, a three-position selector, and a sliding stock.
The SHAR-C is a fictional assault rifle with a design vaguely resembling a Heckler & Koch G36. Its name is based on the FN SCAR-H, with "C" and "H" swapping positions.
Despite the name implying it to be an FN Mk 46 Mod 1, the "MK46" is actually an FN M249 Paratrooper SAW with a solid stock and upper handguard, as evidenced by the presence of a diagonal STANAG magazine well, which the Mk 46 lacks.
The Remburg 7 is based on the Smith & Wesson 3000 with a foregrip, shortened barrel, a weird-looking heat shield, a rail system, and a folding stock. Its name is a portmanteau of Remington and Mossberg.
