==SIG-Sauer P320==
== SIG-Sauer P320 ==
The [[SIG-Sauer P320]] appears in ''Squad'' disguised as the newly adopted sidearm of the US Army, the "M17 Modular Handgun System". It is available to the US Army squad leader, and feeds from 17-round box magazines. Note that the real M17 Modular Handgun System comes in Coyote Brown finish (slide included), has a manual safety, and also has 3 rail-slots in its accessory rail, similar to the compact P320 and M18 pistol fashioned after it. As such, this is really a full length P320 in two-tone Flat Dark Earth (FDE). As the game's variant does not have the manual safety, it is also noticeably the only sidearm in the game that is holstered and drawn without turning on or off the safety.

The [[Beretta M9A1]] appears in ''Squad'' as the "M9A1 Beretta". It is available to all US Army classes less the squad leader, rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 16-round box magazines when it should be 15. The marksman, crewman and lead crewman get an extra magazine each. Note that the M9A1 is not adopted by the US Army, but rather by the US Marine Corps in small numbers.

== Tokarev TT-33 ==
==Tokarev TT-33==
The [[Tokarev TT-33]] appears in ''Squad'' as the "TT33 Tokarev". It is available to the Insurgent and Militia cell/squad leaders, medics and marksmen, and feeds from 8-round box magazines. Like the [[Squad#Makarov PM|PM]], it comes with more magazines than the other pistols to compensate for its smaller magazine capacity. It packs the biggest punch of all the pistols in the game, owing to its calibre. It is textured with painted stars on both grips.

==Makarov PM==  
The [[Makarov PM]] appears in ''Squad'' as the "PM Makarov", following OWI's tradition of naming pistols backwards. It is available to all Insurgent and Militia classes less the cell/squad leader, medic, marksman, light and heavy anti-tank. Like the [[Squad#Tokarev TT-33|TT-33]], it has twice the number of magazines as the other sidearms to compensate for the smaller magazine capacity.

==PPSh-41==  
== PPSh-41 ==  
The [[PPSh-41]] is available exclusively to the Insurgent raider class, and feeds from either 35-round stick magazines or 71-round drum magazines. The player has access to 4 of the former and 2 of the latter, and may switch between them at his own discretion (using the scroll wheel).

=Semi-Automatic Carbines=
== SKS==
The [[SKS]] is available to the Insurgent and Militia scouts and cell/squad leaders, as well as the Insurgent light and heavy anti-tank. It feeds from a 10-round internal magazine loaded by stripper clips and, bizarrely, can be reloaded mid-clip. The SKS is also the only rifle in the game with a usable bayonet. The squad leaders and scouts' rifles come with a PU mounted, but there is no cut-out on the stock that indicates the presence of the PU mounting bracket.
 
Note that to reload an SKS partially, one needs to hold the bolt open while doing so as the bolt only locks back on an empty magazine. An easier alternative would be to first empty the magazine by releasing the floor plate first, before pulling the bolt back to lock it open. The way it works in game was apparently a deliberate decision for balance purposes. Additionally, a point worth noting is that the SKS in ''Squad'' can hold an extra round in the chamber when reloading mid-clip, despite a single round being ejected when the bolt is first pulled back.


== Colt M4A1 ==  
Finally, while it looks like the player character is topping off the partially-filled magazine with a clip, in game, it is programmed to be switching of magazines rather than topping off. Topping off a SKS with 5 rounds in its magazine with a stripper clip holding 5 rounds will only leave you with a rifle with 5 rounds in the magazine again.

=Assault Rifles=
==Colt M4A1==
The [[M4A1|Colt M4A1]] is available to the US Army squad leader and rifleman, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. The rifleman's M4A1 may either have an Aimpoint CompM4 (designated "M68 CCO") alone, or a carry handle rear sight and KAC foregrip. The squad leader's M4A1 on the other hand uses the M68 CCO with a KAC foregrip and is loaded with tracer rounds.

== SKS==
The [[SKS]] is available to the Insurgent and Militia scouts and cell/squad leaders, as well as the Insurgent light and heavy anti-tank. It feeds from a 10-round internal magazine loaded by stripper clips and, bizarrely, can be reloaded mid-clip. The SKS is also the only rifle in the game with a usable bayonet. The squad leaders and scouts' rifles come with a PU mounted, but there is no cut-out on the stock that indicates the presence of the PU mounting bracket.
Note that to reload an SKS partially, one needs to hold the bolt open while doing so as the bolt only locks back on an empty magazine. An easier alternative would be to first empty the magazine by releasing the floor plate first, before pulling the bolt back to lock it open. The way it works in game was apparently a deliberate decision for balance purposes. Additionally, a point worth noting is that the SKS in ''Squad'' can hold an extra round in the chamber when reloading mid-clip, despite a single round being ejected when the bolt is first pulled back.
Finally, while it looks like the player character is topping off the partially-filled magazine with a clip, in game, it is programmed to be switching of magazines rather than topping off. Topping off a SKS with 5 rounds in its magazine with a stripper clip holding 5 rounds will only leave you with a rifle with 5 rounds in the magazine again.

Squad
Error creating thumbnail: File missing
Release Date: December 15, 2015 (Early Access)
Developer: Offworld Industries
Publisher: Offworld Industries
Platforms: PC
Genre: First-Person Shooter


Squad is a PC exclusive tactical team-based first-person shooter video game set in the modern day, developed by Offworld Industries. The stated goal of Squad is to create a "tactical first person shooter built around teamwork and cooperation". It is a spiritual successor to the award-winning Project Reality modification for Battlefield 2, with many of the former mod creators forming Offworld Industries. Development of the game was announced in October 2014; the game is currently in development and is available as an Early Access title.


The following weapons appear in the video game Squad:


Overview

Squad simulates engagements across many different theatres involving the US Army, Ground Forces of the Russian Federation, British Army, Insurgents, and the Irregular Militia Forces (to be referred to as "Militia" later on for brevity). In a game of Squad, players select their squads and their roles, with each role receiving a specific kit of weapons and equipment. The roles in Squad are:

  • Squad/Cell Leader, the head of the squad with the ability to place rally points, forward operating bases (FOBs) and deployables.
  • Rifleman/Fighter, who is equipped with a standard loadout for general purpose combat.
  • Automatic Rifleman, who is equipped with light machine guns for providing direct fire support and suppression.
  • Machine Gunner, who is equipped with a medium machine gun to provide sustained medium to long range direct fire support and suppression.
  • Medic, who is capable of reviving and healing incapacitated/wounded teammates.
  • Lead Crewman, who is almost similar to the crewman below, but is also capable of deploying rally points, FOBs and deployables.
  • Crewman, who are given stripped down loadouts for self-defence, and is capable of operating heavier vehicles.
  • Grenadier, who is capable of providing indirect fire support with launched grenades and marking targets with smoke grenades.
  • Light Anti Tank, who is equipped with rocket launchers to eliminate light vehicles and entrenched enemies.
  • Heavy Anti-Tank, who are equipped with anti-tank rocket launchers to defeat heavily armoured vehicles.
  • Marksman, who is issued a marksman rifle equipped with a medium or high powered optic for medium to long range direct fire support.
  • Scout, who is equipped with binoculars for scouting enemy positions and explosives for setting up ambushes.
  • Raider, who is equipped with an submachine gun to perform mobile hit-and-run tactics.

Most weapon-related actions in Squad are fully animated, such as reloading, zeroing, switching fire mode, etc, though currently weapons only have one idle state form. This results in the animated zeroing immediately moving back to the default zeroing form when not aiming down sights, and having the fire mode switch animation be largely for show; one animation will be used for all setting changes, and the selector will pop back to default setting after the end of the animation, returning the weapon to its idle state form, regardless of the actual setting in gameplay.

Zeroing in Squad closely simulates reality; it is only available for select weapons that have ranging features in real life, and the available distances depend on what ranges are available for the weapon's ranging feature. Changing the zeroing (or ranging) is done via holding down the ranging button (default: X) and using the scroll wheel to change the range. Once the ranging button is released at the desired distance, the game will follow suit and adjust the weapon's sights to the selected range.

Pistols

SIG-Sauer P320

The SIG-Sauer P320 appears in Squad disguised as the newly adopted sidearm of the US Army, the "M17 Modular Handgun System". It is available to the US Army squad leader, and feeds from 17-round box magazines. Note that the real M17 Modular Handgun System comes in Coyote Brown finish (slide included), has a manual safety, and also has 3 rail-slots in its accessory rail, similar to the compact P320 and M18 pistol fashioned after it. As such, this is really a full length P320 in two-tone Flat Dark Earth (FDE). As the game's variant does not have the manual safety, it is also noticeably the only sidearm in the game that is holstered and drawn without turning on or off the safety.

Beretta M9A1

The Beretta M9A1 appears in Squad as the "M9A1 Beretta". It is available to all US Army classes less the squad leader, rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 16-round box magazines when it should be 15. The marksman, crewman and lead crewman get an extra magazine each. Note that the M9A1 is not adopted by the US Army, but rather by the US Marine Corps in small numbers.

While not visible in the current reload animations, the magazine markings read MAS CAL 9 PARA / FABRIQUE SOUS LICENSE BERETTA ("manufactured under a Beretta license"), making it a PAMAS G1 magazine (French copy of the Beretta 92FS).

MP-443

The MP-443 Grach is the standard side-arm of the Russian Ground Forces. It is available to all classes less the rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 18-round box magazines. As with the M9A1, the marksman, crewman and lead crewman get an extra magazine each.

Glock 17

The Glock 17 appears in Squad under the British Designation of "L131A1 General Service Pistol". It is available to all classes less the rifleman, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 17-round box magazines. Like the M9A1 and MP-443 Grach, the marksman, crewman and lead crewman each get an extra magazine.

Tokarev TT-33

The Tokarev TT-33 appears in Squad as the "TT33 Tokarev". It is available to the Insurgent and Militia cell/squad leaders, medics and marksmen, and feeds from 8-round box magazines. Like the PM, it comes with more magazines than the other pistols to compensate for its smaller magazine capacity. It packs the biggest punch of all the pistols in the game, owing to its calibre. It is textured with painted stars on both grips.

Makarov PM

The Makarov PM appears in Squad as the "PM Makarov", following OWI's tradition of naming pistols backwards. It is available to all Insurgent and Militia classes less the cell/squad leader, medic, marksman, light and heavy anti-tank. Like the TT-33, it has twice the number of magazines as the other sidearms to compensate for the smaller magazine capacity.

Submachine Guns

PPSh-41

The PPSh-41 is available exclusively to the Insurgent raider class, and feeds from either 35-round stick magazines or 71-round drum magazines. The player has access to 4 of the former and 2 of the latter, and may switch between them at his own discretion (using the scroll wheel).

Switching to the drum magazine will have the player character remove the 35-round stick, and insert the drum. If the previous magazine had been emptied prior, and the bolt is locked forward, the player character will pull it back after the switch, and the same applies to the converse. However, if you were to holster your PPSh-41 with stick magazines prior and draw it again by equipping the one with the drum magazine option, the character would already have done the switch magically beforehand.

Semi-Automatic Carbines

SKS

The SKS is available to the Insurgent and Militia scouts and cell/squad leaders, as well as the Insurgent light and heavy anti-tank. It feeds from a 10-round internal magazine loaded by stripper clips and, bizarrely, can be reloaded mid-clip. The SKS is also the only rifle in the game with a usable bayonet. The squad leaders and scouts' rifles come with a PU mounted, but there is no cut-out on the stock that indicates the presence of the PU mounting bracket.

Note that to reload an SKS partially, one needs to hold the bolt open while doing so as the bolt only locks back on an empty magazine. An easier alternative would be to first empty the magazine by releasing the floor plate first, before pulling the bolt back to lock it open. The way it works in game was apparently a deliberate decision for balance purposes. Additionally, a point worth noting is that the SKS in Squad can hold an extra round in the chamber when reloading mid-clip, despite a single round being ejected when the bolt is first pulled back.

Finally, while it looks like the player character is topping off the partially-filled magazine with a clip, in game, it is programmed to be switching of magazines rather than topping off. Topping off a SKS with 5 rounds in its magazine with a stripper clip holding 5 rounds will only leave you with a rifle with 5 rounds in the magazine again.

Assault Rifles

Colt M4A1

The Colt M4A1 is available to the US Army squad leader and rifleman, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. The rifleman's M4A1 may either have an Aimpoint CompM4 (designated "M68 CCO") alone, or a carry handle rear sight and KAC foregrip. The squad leader's M4A1 on the other hand uses the M68 CCO with a KAC foregrip and is loaded with tracer rounds.

A quick glance at the lower receiver of the M4A1 when reloading (while using free-look) reveals a three-round burst selector and M4 Carbine markings, implying it shares the same models and textures with the latter rifle.

Colt M4 Carbine

The Colt M4 Carbine feeds from 30-round box magazines, and may either come equipped with either a round handguard or a KAC railed handguard. The former configuration is available to the Militia squad leader and rifleman, and the latter is available to all US Army classes less the automatic rifleman, machine gunner and marksman.

The Militia rifleman's M4 Carbine only has a carry handle rear sight, but his squad leader's comes with a M68 mounted onto the rear sight. The US Army squad leader and rifleman's M4 Carbines has a Trijicon TA31RCO (designated "M150 RCO") mounted, and the former's is loaded with tracer rounds. The medic, grenadier, light and heavy anti-tank's have M68 CCOs mounted, with the grenadier's having an additional M203A1 mounted. The crewman and lead crewman use stock rifles.

L85A2

The L85A2 is available to all British Army classes except the crewman, lead crewman, marksman, automatic rifleman and machine gunner. It feeds from 30-round box magazines, and comes equipped with a Daniel Defence railed handguard. The rifleman's L85A2 may either have a Grip Pod or a Trijicon TA31-CH (simply named "ACOG") mounted, the medic's comes exclusively with a SUSAT, the grenadier's comes with an ACOG and a L123A2 UGL mounted. Finally, the squad leader's is loaded with tracer rounds, and may either have a Grip Pod alone or a Grip Pod and ACOG mounted simultaneously.

Note that the model of ACOG adopted by the British Army is actually the TA31F rather than the -CH variant, with an RMR mounted on top.

L22A2

The L22A2 is available to the British Army crewman and lead crewman, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. The crewman's rifle uses the L85A2's carry handle sights, but the lead crewman's comes with a SUSAT mounted.

Note that the L22A2 was never designed to accept iron sights due to the impractically short sight radius, and is only ever issued with a SUSAT attached. In game, the front sight post and mounting base are simply pasted onto the weapon body.

The AKS-74 is available to the Militia heavy anti-tank, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. Like the AKMS, it was originally a random spawn for riflemen using the AK-74, in order to increase aesthetic variety in the arsenal of the irregular forces.

AKS-74N

The AKS-74N is available to the Militia squad leader and rifleman, as well as the Insurgent fighter. It feeds from 30-round box magazines, and comes with a 1P29 mounted. While the side-rail for mounting night-vision optics is not visible from any angle, there is no other way you would be able to mount such an optic other than with superglue.

AK-74M

The AK-74M is the available to all Russian Ground Forces classes less the lead crewman, crewman, marksman, automatic rifleman and machine gunner, and feeds from 30-round box magazines. While every applicable class has access to a stock rifle, the squad leader and rifleman's AK-74Ms may also have a 1P63 Obzor or a 1P78-1 Kashtan mounted, while the grenadier's has a GP-25 mounted. The squad leader's AK-74M is loaded with tracer rounds. Quite unlike the other AK rifles in the game, the player grips it by the magazine rather than the handguard, a trait shared with the RPK-74M.

Note that the 1P63 Obzor originated from a mod, and when it was officially added to the game, the pink tint on the lens was removed due to the lens shader affecting performance.

The StG 58 variant of the FN FAL is available to the Militia squad leader and medic, as well as the Insurgent fighter as a limited kit. It feeds from 20-round box magazines and is recognisable by the ribbed stamped metal handguard and its unique combination muzzle device, although it lacks the bipods.

Light Machine Guns

Light machine guns are usable by the automatic rifleman classes, medium machine guns are usable by the machine gunner class. All machine guns are loaded with tracer rounds.

The automatic rifleman has access to two different kits, with the more powerful kit being unlocked later than the other when enough people join the squad. Additionally, the more powerful kit is considered a Fire Support Role, while the less powerful is considered a Squad Role. As such, taking the more powerful automatic rifleman kit comes at the cost of using up one of a maximum of three fire support roles.

Light and medium machine guns are lowered fairly quickly when undeployed due to their weight, with medium machine guns being lowered immediately upon equipping. Their iron sights are still usable, but it is strongly encouraged that their bipods be deployed on a surface first.

FN Minimi

The FN Minimi Mk 2 is one of two light machine guns available to the Militia automatic rifleman, and is unlocked later than the RPK-74. It is recognisable by the solid stock, STANAG magwell and an exposed long barrel.

M249 Para

The M249 Para appears in Squad as the "M249 PIP". It is available to the US Army automatic rifleman, and feeds from 100-round cloth ammo bags. Aside its distinctive short barrel, it comes with the heat shield, railed handguard and telescoping buttstock of the Product Improvement Package (PIP), which is likely to be the basis for its in-game designation. The automatic rifleman has a choice between the M68 CCO and M145 MGO, the latter unlocking later than the former.

FN Minimi Para

The FN Minimi Para, posing as the British L110A2, appears in Squad as the "L110A2 Minimi", the perfect name to describe the blend of the two variants. It is available to the British Army automatic rifleman, and feeds from 100-round cloth ammo bags similar to those of the M249 Paratrooper. The automatic rifleman has the choice between iron sights or a SUSAT optic. Note that while the actual L110A2 LMG may come with picatinny rails, those are built on top of the L85-style base rail designed to fit the SUSAT. Additionally, the sights on the L110A2 are also unique in order to accommodate the aforementioned base rail.

L86A2 LSW

The L86A2 LSW is unique in that it is available to the British Army marksman rather than the automatic rifleman, accurately portraying its usage as an interim marksman rifle. It feeds from 30-round box magazines, and comes with a SUSAT mounted. It unlocks earlier than the other British Army marksman option, the L129A1.

RPK

The RPK is available to the Insurgent automatic rifleman, and feeds from either 40-round box magazines or 75-round drum magazines. The former replaces the RPK-74 from the Insurgent arsenal, and unlocks earlier than the latter.

RPK-74M

The RPK-74M is available to the Russian Ground Forces automatic rifleman, and feeds from 45-round polymer box magazines, unlike the bakelite ones used by the RPK-74. The automatic rifleman may choose between iron sights or a 1P78-2 Kashtan, the latter unlocking later than the former. Like the AK-74M above, the player holds the weapon by the magazine rather than by the handguard.

Medium Machine Guns

M240B

The M240B is available to the US Army machine gunner, and feeds from 50-round cloth ammo bags that erroneously hold 75 rounds, although that could possibly be a balance consideration. It comes with an M145 MGO mounted.

FN MAG 58

The FN MAG 58 appears in Squad posing as the British L7A2 GPMG. It is available to the British Army machine gunner, and feeds from enchanted cloth ammo bags, similar to the M240B above. It also has a railed feed cover similar to that of the M240B, which the actual L7A2 GPMG does not have. Rather, the actual L7A2 has a distinct bracket screwed to the left side of the receiver for mounting optics. It also has a unique and distinctly-shaped carry handle.

PKM

The PKM is available to the Insurgents and Militia machine gunners, and feeds from 100-round ammo boxes with non-disintegrating links. The PKM in game seems to be built from a mix of both polymer and wooden furniture.

PKP Pecheneg

The PKP Pecheneg is available to the Russian Ground Forces machine gunner, and feeds from 100-round ammo boxes with non-disintegrating links, similar to the PKM above. It comes with a 1P78 Kashtan mounted, but in reality the 1P78 Kashtans are calibrated for 5.45x39mm and 7.62x39mm rifles and machine guns. A better and more likely scenario would be a 1P77 scope, designed to be mounted on the PKMN and PKP Pecheneg.

SVD

The SVD is the available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgents and Militia marksman classes, and feeds from 10-round box magazines. It comes with a PSO-1 mounted, and its backup iron sights are unusable. It comes with more spare magazines than the M110 SASS and L129A1 to compensate for its smaller magazine capacity.

The Russian Ground Forces marksman uses a SVD kitted out with what seems to be wooden furniture that has been painted black to be disguised as polymer, and does not use the correct stock, receiver and handguard model. It goes by "SVDM" in game, even though it does not look remotely like its namesake.

Grenade Launchers

Grenade Launchers are available to the grenadier class. They all have arming distances to mirror those in real life.

All grenade launchers come with 10 high explosive rounds and 2 white, red and blue smoke marker rounds each.

GP-25

The GP-25 Kostyor is the available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgent and Militia grenadiers, and is mounted to their AK-74M, AKM and AK-74 respectively. Like its real life counterpart, the grenadier's primary weapon is also issued with a recoil pad mounted to the stock, which can be seen using freelook, and is also present on the inventory icon. It has the option to choose between VOG-25 frag rounds, or red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon equipping the GP-25, the player sets his primary weapon to safe and loads a round into his launcher. When switching back to his rifle, he tilts the barrel down and catches the falling round before turning off the safety on his rifle.

Knight's Armament M203A1

The KAC M203A1 is available to the US Army grenadier, mounted to his M4 Carbine. It is able to fire M433 HEDP rounds or, similar to the GP-25, red, blue and white smoke rounds. Upon selecting the M203A1, the player flips the leaf sight up and loads a round, and when switching back to his rifle, he empties the launcher of any shells and flips the sight down. As of the current build, the M203A1 uses the same smoke grenade models for all 3 colours.

Note that there are no blue smoke rounds for the M203 in reality; there are only M714 white smoke rounds, M713 red smoke rounds, M715 green smoke rounds, and M716 yellow smoke rounds.

Rocket Launchers

Rocket Launchers are available for the anti-tank classes. They are single-shot weapons that are primarily for taking down vehicles, and have backblast modelled. Care must be taken to avoid accidentally hurting or flat out incapacitating friendlies behind the user when firing. Like Grenade Launchers, all rocket launchers have arming distances for gameplay purposes, regardless of whether the weapon has them in real life or not.

M72A7 LAW

The M72A7 LAW is available to the US Army and British Army light anti-tank as a disposable launcher. The light anti-tank carries only one launcher instead of two as of the current build, but is now equipped with a M67 or L109A1 respectively to make up for the reduced firepower.

Note that the British Army does not use M72A7s, but rather M72A9s designated as the "L72A9 Light Anti-Structure Munition (LASM)". As its designation implies, it is meant to be used for bunker-busting rather than for anti-tank applications. Additionally, this launcher is an interim launcher to make up for the shortfall of L2A1 ASMs.

Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4-CS

The Saab Bofors Dynamics AT4-CS is available to the US Army and British Army heavy anti-tank class under their respective designations, the "M136 AT4-CS" and "ILAW AT4-CS". Note that the AT4-CS is usually used in a light anti-tank capacity, but this may be a placeholder for the US Army's FGM-148 Javelin.

At the same time, it is worth noting that "ILAW" is an incomplete designation; the proper designation is "L2A1 Interim Light Anti-tank Weapon (ILAW)". As its name suggests, it is an interim solution to make up for the shortfall of NLAWs as the British Army replaces its legacy and ineffective LAW 80 launchers.

RPG-7V2

The RPG-7V2 is available to the Russian Ground Forces, Insurgent and Militia light and heavy anti-tanks. The Russian Ground Forces and Militia anti-tank classes are each armed with 2 OG-7V fragmentation warheads and a single PG-7VM high-explosive anti-tank (HEAT) warhead, with the heavy anti-tank having an additional PG-7VR tandem charge warhead. The Insurgent anti-tank classes have one extra less OG-7V warhead to make compensate for their weaker primary rifle. When switching between warheads, the player character removes the previous warhead before loading the warhead of choice.

Note that the Russian Ground Forces anti-tank' RPG-7V2 also comes with a PGO-7V mounted, but oddly does not have the UP-7V sighting device to be used in tandem with it. Additionally, production of the PG-7VM had ceased since the 70s, and it would be unlikely to see such warheads in the Russian arsenal. Rather, they would have been replaced by the PG-7VL instead.

RPG-29

The RPG-29 Vampir is available to the Insurgent heavy anti-tank, and grants the user access to 2 PG-29V tandem charge warheads. Compared to the other loadout featuring the RPG-7V2, the extra tandem charge warhead provides extra firepower against armoured vehicles at the cost of versatility since the former does not have fragmentation warheads.

L152A1 Smoke Grenade

The L152A1 is available to the British Army squad leader and medic in two colours. Both classes have access to orange smoke, but yellow is exclusive to the former. Despite their in-game designation, L152A1 refers to the green smoke variant in real life; orange and yellow smoke variants are designated L153A1 and L155A1 respectively.

The L152A1 markings are almost similar to those in real life, but lack the colour indication and serial number. In addition, the coloured Cs are the bottom are in red, green and blue individually, but in the actual grenades the Cs are coloured the same as the grenade's smoke.

Browning M2A1

The Browning M2A1 is available to the US Army as both a deployable and a vehicle mounted weapon. Like the DShKM and NSV, its high-caliber rounds are capable of incapacitating hostiles instantly.

UB-32

The UB-32 rocket pod, usually seen on Soviet jets and helicopters, is here mounted on pickup trucks as improvised mobile artillery platforms for the Insurgents and Militia. This is a fairly common modification that has been observed on recently built technicals, primarily in Syria. It holds 32 rockets and is inaccurate, best used for raining down widespread explosive ordnance from a hilltop.
