The weakest and most basic of the handguns, simply called "Pistol", bears resemblance to the [[M1911]] and the [[Beretta 92]] series, although its front and rear sights are largely exaggerated, and the in-game model appears to have no safety on the back of the grip. The slide lock also appears much shorter and farther forward on the gun's body, largely due to the gun's cartoonish nature. It is available in Common, Uncommon, and Rare versions.

It is the most basic of the rifles, offering mediocre damage and rate of fire. The assault rifle can be found in common, uncommon, and rare tiers, and uses Medium Bullets in BR mode, while it strangely uses light ammo in STW mode. Amusingly, the in-game icon shows the front sight mounted backwards, much like the [[Colt Model 733]] featured in the 3D Era [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|Grand]] [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|Theft]] [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories|Auto]] games. | ||
[[Image:ColtM4 FirstVersion.jpg|thumb|none|400px|Colt M4 Carbine with 4 position collapsible stock - 5.56x45mm]] | |||
==Thermal Scoped Rifle== | |||
The "Thermal Scoped Rifle" can sometimes be found in Battle Royale mode. As it's name implies, it is fitted with a thermal scope that makes enemies easier to spot. Of the rifles in the game, the Thermal Scoped Rifle is perhaps the most simplistic and ambiguous in design, as it bears slight resemblance to a multitude of well-known assault rifles. It most-closely resembles the [[M4/M4A1 Carbine]], although the charging handle is on the side of the gun, not the back (as is characteristic of the AR-15/M16.) The Thermal Scoped Rifle has a relatively low fire rate, but it does dish out a high amount of damage in return. It uses Medium Bullets. | |||

The "Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle" in Battle Royale is modeled after the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare]] series of sniper rifles, though in-game it holds only one round despite being depicted with a box magazine. The model is reused for the "Standard Scoped Sniper" in Save the World, and an unscoped version of the AW is the weapon model for the Epic and Legendary variants of the "Standard Sniper". | |||

A rifle resembling the E2 machine gun variant of the [[M14]] rifle is used as a weapon model by multiple in-game weapons, such as the "Hunting Rifle" in Battle Royale and "Bolt-Action Sniper" in Save The World.

The "Minigun" in Fortnite is quite peculiar in its design. As the concept art in a loading screen would suggest, the gun can be collapsed into a small box and carried in a compacted state, much like the [[Magpul FMG-9]]. When deployed, it resembles a [[Knight's Armament LMG]] ChainSAW, but also has obvious characteristics of a [[Hand Held M134 Minigun]] The artwork also suggests that the gun has an interchangeable single barrel, but such an attachment is not seen in gameplay.

==Mk 46 Mod 0== | |||
The [[FN Minimi]] MK46 Mod 0 is simply referred to as the "Light Macine Gun" in Battle Royale. As with all the guns in Fortnite, the in-game model is very cartoonish and simplistic in appearance. It deals damage significantly higher than all the guns other than shotguns and snipers, and its rate of fire is significantly higher than any of the assault rifles. | |||

The following weapons appear in the video game Fortnite:
Introduction
Fortnite is a 2017 video game developed by Epic Games. The game has been released as different software packages featuring different game modes that otherwise share the same general gameplay and game engine. The game modes include Fortnite: Save the World, a cooperative shooter-survival game for up to four players to fight off zombie-like husks and defend objects with fortifications they can build, and Fortnite Battle Royale, a free-to-play battle royale game where up to 100 players fight in increasingly-smaller spaces to be the last person standing, very similar to Playerunknown's Battlegrounds. Both game modes were released in 2017 as early access titles; Save the World is available only for Microsoft Windows, macOS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One, while Battle Royale has been released for those platforms, Nintendo Switch, and iOS devices with Android support expected in mid-2018.
Players can use a variety of different firearms in Fortnite, each with their own stats, abilities, and advantages. Most of the weapons bear a strong resemblance to real-world firearms, although with some cartoonish and simplistic alterations. Some weapons are sort of "Frankenguns", that is, they bear characteristics of several distinct guns mixed together.
This page will attempt to cover the weapon models used in the game since some of the in-game weapons share the same models and while others have different models depending on their rarity.
Handguns
Beretta/Colt hybrid pistol
The weakest and most basic of the handguns, simply called "Pistol", bears resemblance to the M1911 and the Beretta 92 series, although its front and rear sights are largely exaggerated, and the in-game model appears to have no safety on the back of the grip. The slide lock also appears much shorter and farther forward on the gun's body, largely due to the gun's cartoonish nature. It is available in Common, Uncommon, and Rare versions. It uses Light Bullets, and offers weak to moderate damage. In Save the World, it is the main model for the "Semi-Auto Pistol" series.
Colt Police Positive
A Colt Police Positive-like revolver with custom engravings appears as the "Revolver" in Battle Royale. It is available in Common, Uncommon and Rare variants, and uses Medium Bullets (it used Light Bullets prior to patch 2.5.0). In Save the World, it is the main model for the "Six Shooter" series. Depending on what tier the weapon is at, it can offer varying degrees of damage that is at least twice as much as the pistol, but at the cost of a sluggish fire rate and low reload speed.
Desert Eagle
The Desert Eagle appears in Battle Royale as the "Hand Cannon", where it expectedly has the highest per-shot damage of all the handguns in that mode. The Hand Cannon can appear as Epic and Legendary versions and uses Heavy Bullets. In Save the World, the "Semi-Auto Handcannons" use the same model, and are appropriately named after various birds of prey.
FN FNX-9
A pair of FN FNX-9 pistols appear in Battle Royale as the "Dual Pistols", available in Epic and Legendary versions. They use Medium Bullets and dish out a fair amount of damage with a reasonable reload speed and fire rate.
FN FNX-45 Tactical
An FN FNX-45 Tactical pistol fitted with a suppressor and red dot sight appears in Battle Royale as the "Suppressed Pistol", available in Epic and Legendary versions. It uses Light Bullets and has a decent reload speed and fire rate, although its damage at even the highest tier is not much stronger than even the rare-tier pistol.
Taurus Raging Bull
The "Handcannon Pistols" (not to be confused with the Hand Cannon in BR or the Semi-Auto Handcannon in StW which are both Desert Eagles) in Save the World are based on the Taurus Raging Bull. They appear in Rare, Epic and Legendary versions and use Heavy Bullets.
Submachine Guns
Colt M1928 Thompson
The M1928 Thompson submachine gun appears as the "Drum Gun", and is an Uncommon to Rare weapon. As the name implies, it obviously feeds from a drum magazine which holds 50 rounds and is the only submachine gun that uses Medium Bullets. It is a good weapon for close to mid-range combat, as it has some of the best stats of the SMG class.
Heckler & Koch MP5A4
The Heckler & Koch MP5A4 with a UMP-styled stock appears in Battle Royale as the "Submachine Gun" as part of the 5.0 Content Update, replacing the TEC-9 from previous versions. It is available in Common, Uncommon and Rare versions and uses Light Bullets. A different-looking MP5A4 with SD handguard and wood furniture seems to be the basis for the in-game model of the "Burst Assault Rifle" in its lower three tiers for Save the World mode.
Heckler & Koch MP5SD6
The Heckler & Koch MP5SD6 appears in Battle Royale as the "Suppressed Submachine Gun". It is available in Common, Uncommon and Rare versions and uses Light Bullets. It actually does higher damage than the normal SMG, but at a speed of around half that of the normal SMG.
IMI Mini Uzi
A Mini Uzi appears in Save The World as the "Auto Pistol", with no stock and flaming motif painted on the front of the gun. The weapon model is the same throughrout all rarity tiers, and uses Light Bullets.
Intratec TEC-9
The TEC-9 appeared in Battle Royale as the "Submachine Gun" and the "Tactical Machine Gun" prior to being replaced by the MP5 in a July 2018 patch. It offered slightly lower damage than the new SMG, but it did carry more ammo per magazine. It was available (in one form or another) in every tier except for Legendary. The Tactical SMG has since been placed into a vault and is unusable in Battle Royale. In Save The World, it appears as the weapon model for the "Slasher", "Ripper" and "Threader" versions of the "Heavy Auto Pistol".
Shotguns
Shotguns in Fortnite use "Shells 'n' Slugs" as ammo; while the latter is actually a type of the former, it's understandable if the former refers to buckshot shells for the sake of distinguishing the two.
Mossberg 500
The Mossberg 500 appears in Save the World as the "Crusader" and "Templar" version of the "Pump-Action Shotgun".
Over & Under Shotgun (O/U)
An unknown model of over-and-under break-action shotgun appears as the "Over-Under Shotgun" in Save the World. The icon for all variants has a bandana wrapped around the handguard.
Remington Model 870 Field Gun
The Remington Model 870 Field Gun appears in Battle Royale as the "Pump Shotgun", with a correct 5-shell capacity. In Save the World, the Field Gun model is also used for the "Pump-Action Shotgun" series, particularly the eponymous and "Knight" variants.
Remington Model 870 Folding Stock
The weapon model used for the "Precision Tactical Shotgun" series in Save the World appears to be a rusty-looking Remington 870 Folding Stock.
Remington Model 870 Trench Shotgun
The Legendary variant of the "Pump-Action Shotgun" in Save The World, "The Bear", appears to be based on the "trench gun" variant of the Remington Model 870. Although depicted with an extended magazine tube, it only holds 5 shells like the other variants unless certain perks are equipped.
Assault Rifles
AK-12
The "Scoped Assault Rifle" in Battle Royale loosely resembles the AK-12, as evidenced by the stock and gas block.
Colt M4
The Colt M4/M4A1 Carbine appears in Fortnite as the "Assault Rifle" in both Save the World and Battle Royale. It is the most basic of the rifles, offering mediocre damage and rate of fire. The assault rifle can be found in common, uncommon, and rare tiers, and uses Medium Bullets in BR mode, while it strangely uses light ammo in STW mode. Amusingly, the in-game icon shows the front sight mounted backwards, much like the Colt Model 733 featured in the 3D Era Grand Theft Auto games.
Thermal Scoped Rifle
The "Thermal Scoped Rifle" can sometimes be found in Battle Royale mode. As it's name implies, it is fitted with a thermal scope that makes enemies easier to spot. Of the rifles in the game, the Thermal Scoped Rifle is perhaps the most simplistic and ambiguous in design, as it bears slight resemblance to a multitude of well-known assault rifles. It most-closely resembles the M4/M4A1 Carbine, although the charging handle is on the side of the gun, not the back (as is characteristic of the AR-15/M16.) The Thermal Scoped Rifle has a relatively low fire rate, but it does dish out a high amount of damage in return. It uses Medium Bullets.
FAMAS
The FAMAS appears in Fortnite as the Epic and Legendary tiers of the "Burst Assault Rifle" in Battle Royale mode.
FN SCAR-L
The FN SCAR-L appears in STW mode as named variants and in BR mode as the higher-tiered "Assault Rifle". In both game modes, the rifle offers significantly higher stats than the lower-tier assault rifles, although it still takes the same ammo type. In Battle Royale mode, it can appear as an epic or legendary, while in Save the World, it's lowest possible tier is uncommon.

Heckler & Koch G36C
The Heckler & Koch G36C appears in Fortnite as the Epic and Legendary tiers of the "Burst Assault Rifle" in Save the World mode.
IMI Galil/Valmet M62
The lower three tiers of the "Burst Assault Rifle" in Battle Royale mode appear to be modeled after the Galil and Valmet M62. The same weapon model is used by the "Semi-Auto Rifle" in Save The World .
SIG SG 540
The SIG SG 540 appears in Save The World as the Epic and Legendary tiers of the "Semi-Auto Rifle", respectively named "Raptor" and "Hunter-killer".
Sniper Rifles
Accuracy International Arctic Warfare
The "Bolt-Action Sniper Rifle" in Battle Royale is modeled after the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare series of sniper rifles, though in-game it holds only one round despite being depicted with a box magazine. The model is reused for the "Standard Scoped Sniper" in Save the World, and an unscoped version of the AW is the weapon model for the Epic and Legendary variants of the "Standard Sniper".
M14E2 Rifle
A rifle resembling the E2 machine gun variant of the M14 rifle is used as a weapon model by multiple in-game weapons, such as the "Hunting Rifle" in Battle Royale and "Bolt-Action Sniper" in Save The World. A model with a scope is also used as the "Scoped Bolt-Action Sniper" in the latter.
SVD Dragunov
An unscoped SVD Dragunov is the weapon model for the Common, Uncommon and Rare variants of the "Standard Sniper" in Save The World.
Machine Guns
Minigun
The "Minigun" in Fortnite is quite peculiar in its design. As the concept art in a loading screen would suggest, the gun can be collapsed into a small box and carried in a compacted state, much like the Magpul FMG-9. When deployed, it resembles a Knight's Armament LMG ChainSAW, but also has obvious characteristics of a Hand Held M134 Minigun The artwork also suggests that the gun has an interchangeable single barrel, but such an attachment is not seen in gameplay. The coloration of the gun and some of its cosmetics are also reminiscent of the M41A Pulse Rifle from the Aliens films.
Mk 46 Mod 0
The FN Minimi MK46 Mod 0 is simply referred to as the "Light Macine Gun" in Battle Royale. As with all the guns in Fortnite, the in-game model is very cartoonish and simplistic in appearance. It deals damage significantly higher than all the guns other than shotguns and snipers, and its rate of fire is significantly higher than any of the assault rifles.
M60
The M60 is the main weapon model used for the Light Machine Gun in Save The World, despite being a general-purpose machine gun in real life. Like the Minimi, it also uses Medium Bullets (which would make sense if the Minimi is a 7.62 variant) and boasts a similarly high damage output.
Rocket & Grenade Launchers
Milkor MGL
The M32 MGL appears in both Save the World and Battle Royale, simply called "Grenade Launcher" . The Epic and Legendary variants in the former are called "Blooper" and "Thumper", both of which were nicknames for the M79 grenade launcher used during the Vietnam War.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 appears in both Save the World and Battle Royale, simply called "Rocket Launcher". The model has cartoonish proportions and reversed grips like the Soldier's RPG-7 in Team Fortress 2, however unlike that model, it shows the rocket at the muzzle, which is depicted with the same "Flying Tiger" decal as the Minigun. In STW, the Legendary variant is nicknamed the "Bazooka", which while used as a general term to label rocket launchers in video games, is actually a completely different set of rocket launchers in real life.
