'''''Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades''''', also known as H3VR, is a virtual-reality shooting gallery sandbox game with an emphasis on realistic weapon operation. Using the HTC Vive's motion controllers players can manipulate individual rounds in a magazine, pull the cocking lever, flip safeties, deploy a bipod, fold or collapse the stock, dry-fire, and even adjust the zeroing on sights and scopes. The axis of the motion controller even conforms to the angle of each individual weapon's grip.

Outside of custom models created for the game, a good portion of the game's weapon models come from either publicly available 3D assets sold on asset stores and direct donations from freelance weapon artists to the game's lead Anton Hand. With some detailed research, it is even possible to identify the exact creators of individual models, either by researching in the asset stores or artist portfolios. For instance, many of the early weapons have made-up markings, a feature of weapons from the "Ultimate FPS Weapons Pack" by weapon artist ChamferZone, and a series of Mauser C96 variants added later in the game are all from the "Mauser Pistol Pack" by Stefan Engdahl. More info on weapon assets and artists can be found in the discussion page.

[[Hot Dogs, Horseshoes, & Hand Grenades]], the second part of this page.
The second version of the [[Bendix-Hyde Light Rifle]], a prototype entered into the US Light Rifle Program trials, was made available in Update #52's 11th alpha build.
[[File:H3VR Hyde Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Jamming a magazine into the carbine...]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before taking a good look at its... ''interesting'' proportions.]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Hyde's other side, which shows off the charging handle. This was one of the many things changed from the first variant; that one had a non-reciprocating charging handle, which the testing board requested to be changed, citing a need to be able to manually force the bolt closed if necessary.]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Speaking of the charging handle, it's high time for it to get pulled.]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Turning off the safety, which is a piece inside of the trigger guard, rather reminiscent of the [[M1 Garand]] (or, for that matter, the [[M1 Carbine]] that defeated the Hyde in trials).]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking through the Hyde's rear aperture sight...]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing a shot, thankful that doing so doesn't cause it to transform into a Jekyll Carbine.]]
[[File:H3VR Hyde Hipfiring.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Y'know, just because one of the complaints about the 2nd model was that it was less accurate than the first, does ''not'' mean that it's okay to do that."]]
==Beretta Cx4 Storm==
The [[Beretta Cx4 Storm]] semi-auto carbine is available in-game, added in Update #20; it was, until the release of Update #52, permanently fitted with a foregrip. It is correctly capable of sharing magazines with the [[Beretta Px4 Storm|Px4 Storm]] added in the same update, as well as the [[Beretta M9A1|M9A1]] added earlier and the [[Beretta Mx4 Storm|Mx4 Storm]] added later.
[[File:H3VR CX4 Table.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Cx4 Storm rests on a table. Not much else to say here.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading a magazine into the carbine.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|His weapon loaded, Hick-not45 proceeds down range with his Cx4, determined to get a hit on the gong.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|He then remembers to pull the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the Cx4; the bullet trails demonstrate one of ''H3'''s interesting mechanics: the ballistics system. The system assigns a material to every object in the game, and has rounds react accordingly; in this case, the FMJ 9x19mm rounds pierce through this wooden post, and are redirected this way and that in the process.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Forend.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A close-up shot of the Cx4's foregrip; not only did Update #52 remove this, but it also removed the rail system it's attached to.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With that, Hick-not45 sets the carbine back on the table, and moves on.]]
[[File:H3VR CX4 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The sights of the Cx4, in a far more demure setting.]]
==Brügger & Thomet APC45 Carbine==
Update #61 added a pair of [[Brügger & Thomet APC9|Brügger & Thomet APC]]-series pistol-caliber carbines, one of which is an APC45. This is possibly the APC45's first known appearance in any form of media.
[[File:APC9 Collapsible.jpeg|thumb|none|450px|Brügger & Thomet APC9 SMG - 9x19mm Parabellum. Image provided to show the collapsible stock seen on the in-game APC45.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading a magazine into the APC45...]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and pulling the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Examining the carbine; note the 2-position fire selector.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side, giving a good view of the collapsible stock. While not as commonly seen on the carbines, the collapsible stock is interchangeable with the side-folder, so such a configuration is entirely possible.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 RDS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attaching a red-dot sight, in an attempt to appease the benevolent gods of reference images.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Plus it makes aiming easier.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing off a round.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Collapsing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Collapsing the stock...]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Collapsed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...which fits nice and flush against the back of the receiver.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Aiming 1-Handed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Doing this allows the APC45 to be used as a pseudo-pistol.]]
[[File:H3VR APC45 Firing 1-Handed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Note the word choice: it ''allows'' the APC45 to be used as a pseudo-pistol. It does ''not'' make doing so easy.]]
==Brügger & Thomet APC9 Carbine==
To compliment the APC45, Update #61 added the more commonly-seen [[Brügger & Thomet APC9]], also in semi-auto carbine form.
[[File:APC9 Collapsible.jpeg|thumb|none|450px|Brügger & Thomet APC9 SMG - 9x19mm Parabellum. As above, image provided to show the collapsible stock seen on the in-game APC9.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The left side of the carbine...]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and the right side. Without the magazine, the APC9 is nearly indistinguishable from the .45 version.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bringing the magazine into the equation makes the difference relatively clear. These 32-round magazines are interchangeable with those of the [[Brügger & Thomet MP9]], which makes sense, considering that they're made by the same company.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Giving the reciprocating charging handle a nice, solid tug.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Collapsing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Fiddling with the collapsible stock.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Front.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Flipping up the front sight...]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Rear.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and the rear one.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Safe.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The APC9's selector switch; the civilian carbine versions have only safe and semi-auto positions, while the SMG variants have a 3rd full-auto position around the 8 o'clock position relative to the pivot, denoted by 3 red dots (see the 2nd reference image).]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A view through the carbine's flip-up irons.]]
[[File:H3VR APC9 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another view of the same, this time just after firing.]]
==Bushmaster ACR==
Added in Update #58, the [[Bushmaster ACR]] is, unusually for a video game, correctly treated as a civilian semi-auto rifle, rather than the select-fire assault rifle that most games depict it as.
[[File:H3VR ACR Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|In an act of defiance against the reference image, our invisible operator loads his ACR with a 30-round USGI-pattern metal STANAG, rather than the image's PMAG.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Plus the game doesn't have any PMAGs yet.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Well, making do is all we can.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling the charging handle; interestingly enough, ''H3'''s ACR has its reversible charging handle set on the right side, in an ideal position for a left-handed user.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Safe.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a close look at the fire selector...]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Semi.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...which has two - count 'em! - settings: safe, and semi-auto.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|It also has zero - count 'em! - sights by default.]]
[[File:H3VR ACR Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Once again, there's nothing to do but make do.]]
==Custom AR-15==
Update #59's ninth alpha added a custom [[AR-15]] carbine, with a short barrel and PDW-type collapsible stock. Being a civilian rifle, it fires exclusively in semi-auto. Update #61 added another custom AR, this one a full-length rifle, known as the "Bubba-15".
[[File:NEA 15.jpg|thumb|none|450px|North Eastern Arms NEA-15 PDW - 5.56x45mm NATO. Similar (though not identical) to the rifle in-game.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Admiring the AR. 200 extra dollars and 9+ months of waiting well spent.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 10-round magazine, for legality's sake, before irritatedly remembering that most states with magazine capacity restrictions have a total moratorium on SBRs anyway (SBR standing for '''S'''hort-'''B'''arreled '''R'''ifle, a term used in the context of US firearms laws to refer to any firearm with a stock and a rifled barrel shorter than {{convert|in|16}}, or a front-to-back overall length under {{convert|in|26}}; under the National Firearms Act of 1934, these require registration with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, with a $200.00 fee, though some states simply prohibit them outright).]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Well, if they're going to come for my dogs, they're going to have to go through me first."]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Aiming Bare.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"That might be a problem."]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR RDS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Alleviating the aforementioned problem, by attaching an Aimpoint red-dot sight.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Extending.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remembering that funny little thing called "eye relief" exists, our heroic dog-defender extends his rifle's stock.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Aiming Far.jpg|thumb|none|600px|There we go, much better.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Firing Far.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing again, this time without any risk of objective lens-related eye injuries.]]
[[File:H3VR AR-15 SBR Ejecting.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Dumping out the empty magazine. 10 rounds lasts longer than you might think, but not as long as you'd like it to.]]
==="Bubba-15"===
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attempting to stick a magazine into the trigger guard; Bubba isn't known for his hand-eye coordination. After all, he only has one of the latter and one and half of the former.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still, depth perception isn't needed for drooling over a bronze-coated bolt carrier.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Or any of the rifle's other aftermarket components, for that matter.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting back to standard Bubba business, and pulling the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Safe.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Flipping the selector, from "Safe"...]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Safety.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...to "this is still a civilian rifle, what'd you think its fire modes would be".]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Extending.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Extending the stock.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Attempting to aim...]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Holo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before remembering that, of course, no expensive rifle is complete without an expensive optic.]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Aiming Holo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|There, much better!]]
[[File:H3VR Bubba-15 Firing Holo.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the rifle.]]
==CZ 858==
The last of Update #59's [[SA vz. 58]] variants is a synthetic-stocked [[SA vz. 58|CZ 858]] civilian sporter rifle.
[[File:CZ 858 Synthetic.jpg|thumb|none|450px|CZ 858 with polymer furniture - 7.62x39mm]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking over the CZ 858.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The rifle's other side. As one might expect, it's more or less the same as the standard vz. 58 from an aesthetic perspective, barring the fire selector and furnishings.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading a 10-round magazine into the 858. While thematically appropriate, the 10-rounder isn't the only available option; standard 30-rounders work just fine.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling back the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Aiming the rifle... poorly.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the rifle in spite of this fact, with groupings to match.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Clip.jpg|thumb|none|600px|While there aren't many perks to using a 10-round magazine on a rifle such as this, one among them is the ability to fully top it off with a single stripper clip.]]
[[File:H3VR 858 Releasing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Letting the bolt slam back into battery.]]
==DRD Tactical Paratus P762==
Update #58's collection of modern firearms included a [[DRD Tactical Paratus|DRD Tactical Paratus P762]], a Gen 2 model to be exact.
[[File:H3VR P762 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Admiring the P762. It's got all the bells and whistles, except, y'know, a trigger.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The other side, which shows off a bolt so shiny that it caused the spontaneous appearance of letterboxing.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 20-round Magpul PMAG.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling the folding charging handle. This is one of the improvements of the Gen 2 model; the first-generation model has a more traditional round knob instead.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As with many of ''H3'''s rail-topped firearms, sights must be attached manually.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unless that's just not your style.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Forend.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Oh? What might this be?"]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Aiming Mounted.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unfortunately, mounting the rifle doesn't fix the "lack-of-sights" issue.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Firing Mounted.jpg|thumb|none|600px|At least it helps with the recoil.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And just like that, the gun's empty.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Modded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A P762 fitted with a scope and suppressor, serving as an ersatz DMR.]]
[[File:H3VR P762 Scope.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking through the rifle's scope at an attacking Turburgert, one of many defending the Pacification Squad's checkpoint. This particular one is of the "Flak" variety (as evidenced by the shotgun-style cluster of projectiles flying towards the screen); there are also standard bullet-firing versions, "Suppressive" versions (which fire a 3-round salvo of flashbang grenades), and flame-throwing versions.]]
==FightLite Raider==
The [[FightLite Raider]], a civilian semi-auto [[AR-15]] "pistol" (i.e. legally considered a pistol by US gun laws, but not really a pistol from a technical or logical standpoint) based on Ares' traditionally-stocked SCR lower, makes its media debut in ''H3'''s 58th update.
[[File:H3VR Raider Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look at the downright bizarre concept that is the Raider.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Flipped.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The right side, which is just as strange as the left.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 10-round magazine, for maximum legal compliance.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling back the charging handle; as with the game's other AR variants, the dust cover correctly pops open.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Aim.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Aiming"; the top rail can be used to mount irons or optics, but doesn't come with any by default, not that a stockless rifle with the ergonomics of a flintlock pistol is something that one expects terribly good accuracy out of, anyway.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the Raider. Being a short-barreled rifle in every sense except that of the law, the Raider produces a suitably impressive muzzle flash; however, this isn't exactly something that can be captured well in a still frame.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Removing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Removing the now-empty magazine; while these drop free from most AR-pattern rifles, the Raider's grip is too far back for the magazine release to be accessible with the firing hand, so the magazine has to be removed manually.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthermore, while the bolt does lock back, the Raider doesn't actually have a bolt release.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Releasing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As such, the bolt must instead be returned to battery with a quick tug of the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR Raider Stock.jpg|thumb|none|600px|As if the whole situation wasn't strange enough already, the Raider in-game is compatible with all of the stocks that can be attached to actual handguns, allowing for the creation of odd-looking carbines like this.]]
==FN FAL==
Update #54 brought along the much-desired [[FN FAL]] battle rifle.
[[File:Fn fal g series.jpg|thumb|none|450px|FN FAL "G Series" - 7.62x51mm NATO. Similar to the one in-game.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The right side of the Right Arm of the Free World...]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and the left side.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 30-round magazine, of the type more commonly associated with the FAL's support weapon variants, such as the [[FN FALO|FALO]] and [[FN FALO|C2A1]]. 10- and 20-round magazines are available as well.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling the charging handle.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Safe.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Flipping the selector off of "S"...]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Peering through the FAL's distinctive aperture sights.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing off a shot.]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Auto.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Remembering something about the FAL that many games tend to forget: the selector has a third position, "A".]]
[[File:H3VR FAL Firing Auto.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"A" for "Awesome". Presumably.]]
==FN SCAR-H==
The [[FN SCAR-H]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added with the release of Update #32. Update #39 gave the SCAR a rail extension that goes past the front sight.
[[Image:SCAR-H Long Barrel.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Third Generation FN SCAR-H Long Barrel - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading a magazine into the SCAR.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Cocking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling back the charging handle, and chambering a 7.62x51mm round.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look at the SCAR's model, which shows off its well-done details.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The SCAR-H is happy it is painted a nice, consistent black, as opposed to its mis-matched little brother.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Extending.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Extending the stock...]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Looking through the rifle's larger aperture sight. As with the [[SCAR-L]], there is a smaller, more precise sight available as well.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Drum.jpg|thumb|none|600px|If 20 rounds isn't enough, an X-Products 50-round drum magazine is also available.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H RDS.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthering the SCAR's customization, with the aid of an Aimpoint red-dot sight and corresponding 3-power magnifier.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H RDS Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The above combination results in this sight picture.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H RDS Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The increased magnification is nice, but it does have the downside of exaggerating vertical recoil, something which the SCAR-H doesn't exactly have a shortage of.]]
[[File:H3VR SCAR-H Rail.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The post-Update #39 version of the SCAR, complete with rail extension.]]
==Galil ARM (7.62x51mm)==
The 7.62x51mm variant of the [[Galil 7.62|Galil ARM]], complete with functional bipod, was added in the first Meatmas update. Until Update #52 (more specifically, its 6th alpha build), the Galil was permanently fitted with a side-mounted bracket scope mount; this was replaced with a Soviet-style side dovetail mount in the update.
[[Image:Galilarm-05.jpg|thumb|none|450px|IMI Galil ARM - 7.62x51mm NATO]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Railed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Galil in its earlier, rail-afflicted state.]]

[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Mounted.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Setting the rifle down results in [[Far Cry 2#M249 SAW|a familiar-looking sight]].]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look through the Galil's sights, after reminding it of the oh-so-easily-forgotten concept called "gravity".]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Railed Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unfortunately, the rail mount takes the opportunity to ruin this.]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Clean Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|YES! Perfect! Not a rail in sight!]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Clean Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Well, apart from that one.]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in 25-round magazine.]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Charging.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Racking the charging handle, in a manner that does not take any advantage of the newfound freedom of the handle's vertical extension.]]
[[File:H3VR Galil 7.62 Clean Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still, what better way to say "bing, bong, the rail mount's dead" than to fire irresponsibly and indiscriminately?]]
==Heckler & Koch G3A3==
Rounding out Update #54's selection of Cold War-era classics is the [[Heckler & Koch G3A3]].

==Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I==
The [[Lee-Enfield No.4 Mk.I]], the standard rifle of the British Army and the armies of the Commonwealth during the Second World War, was added to ''H3'' in Update #52.

==Luger Carbine==
The last of the 3 Update #52 [[Luger]] variants is a rare full-stocked carbine.

==M14==
The [[M14 Rifle]] is one of the firearms added to the game in the first Meatmas update. The release of Update #42 gave the weapon the ability to use 10-round stripper clips. Update #58 replaced the model; while good, the original model had some dimensional issues that complicated parts interchangeability, which necessitated its removal.
[[File:H3VR M14 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With that, the business of using the gun - the one for killing, that is - can proceed as planned.]]

==M14 DMR==
As a companion to the classic wood-stocked version, the [[M14]] in its military DMR configuration was included in the first Meatmas update. Unlike the earlier rifle, it cannot use stripper clips, as its scope mount blocks the action. Being from the same modeler as the original M14 (and being based around the same receiver and barrel group, complete with compatibility-complicating dimensional issues), the M14 DMR was also removed in Update #58; unlike the standard M14, however, no replacement model was added.

[[File:H3VR M14 DMR Locked.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Well, that's all she wrote."]]
==M1 Carbine==
Update #48 added the [[M1 Carbine]]. It is a late-war/post-war model (with a bayonet lug and adjustable aperture sights), and can accept either 15-round or 30-round magazines of .30 Carbine. Update #51 made a variant with a permanently-attached M84 scope available as well; Update #52 replaced this with an attachable version of the scope.

===M1D Garand===
Update #51 brought along the [[M1 Garand|M1D]] variant, fitted with an M84 scope. It was later removed in Update #52, with its replacement being an attachable version of the M84 scope for the M1.
[[File:M1DGarand.jpg|thumb|none|450px|M1D Garand - .30-06 Springfield. Note the M37 slotted flash hider; the one in-game has the earlier conical variant.]]

[[File:H3VR M1D Leaning.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Leaning the rifle against a wall, which gives a good view of the distinctive early-pattern conical flash hider.]]
==M2 Carbine==
Along with the [[M1 Carbine]] came its select-fire relative, the [[M2 Carbine]]. The M2, like the M1, has the late-war pattern of sights and a bayonet lug. It also has a metal heat shield; this was likely both due to the increased amount of heat that the M2 is likely to produce, and to make the M2 more visually distinctive. As with the M1, the M2 gained a variant with an M84 scope following Update #51; also like the M1, this variant was removed, and replaced with an attachable version of the M84 scope.

==M1903 Springfield==
Update #52's 10th alpha build added a transitional-variant [[M1903 Springfield]] rifle to ''H3''.

[[File:H3VR M1903 Left.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|Examining the Springfield.

==M1941 Johnson==
The eleventh alpha build of Update #52 included an [[M1941 Johnson rifle]] (not to be confused with the [[M1941 Johnson machine gun]]).

==MAS-49/56==
The [[MAS-49]]/56 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the first Meatmas update. Upon its addition, it was chambered in 7.62x51mm NATO (a non-factory chambering, but a common (if unethical) practice among many civilian owners); Update #42 changed this to the appropriate 7.5x54mm French, and gave it the ability to use 5-round stripper clips. Added with the rifle was an APX L806 3.85-power scope, unique to the MAS.

==Mauser Karabiner 98 Kurz==
Update #52 brought along a [[Karabiner 98k]], furthering the game's collection of World War II-themed weaponry.
[[File:H3VR K98 Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A clear look at (most of) the K98k. Note the earlier-pattern stock nosecap and cleaning rod, showing that this is an earlier-pattern rifle, and not the later "Kriegsmodell".]]

==Mauser M1917 Trench Carbine==
The last of Update #52's [[C96]] variants is a rare [[M1917 Trench Carbine]], a variant developed (but not issued) during World War 1 for German ''sturmtruppen''. The weapon in-game is incorrectly chambered in 7.63x25mm Mauser, rather than the correct 9x19mm Parabellum.
[[File:H3VR M1917 Carbine.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Examining the Trench Carbine. Note the distinctive slab-sided lower frame, and that the magazine well is thinned down to the point of being flush with the receiver, presumably so that the thinner 7.63mm magazines can fit in. Also note how much longer the in-game barrel is compared to the real weapon.]]
[[File:H3VR M1917 Carbine Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a 10-round magazine. Due to the incorrect chambering, these are interchangeable with the variants below, and come in 10-, 20-, 30-, and 40-round varieties.]]

==Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine==
First seen in the Alpha 1 build of Update #52, the [[Mosin Nagant Rifle|Mosin-Nagant M38 Carbine]] is available for use in ''H3''. Amusingly enough, it is found near the trashcans in the scenes available in the build, referencing one of the Mosin's unflattering nicknames, ''The Garbage Rod''.
[[File:H3VR Mosin.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Opening a loot crate in Take & Hold mode reveals a Mosin, and a 5-round stripper clip.

===Mosin-Nagant "Obrez"===
Update #52's twelfth alpha brought along a sawn-off version of the Mosin, a configuration commonly referred to as an "Obrez" (Russian for "cut"). The entire stock is removed, and replaced with a homemade wooden pistol grip.

==Quackenbush 1886==
Update #56, AKA the 2018 4th of July Update, included an [[Quackenbush rifle|1886 Quackenbush]] "Bicycle Pump" single-shot .22 rifle. Along with the [[Ruger 10/22]] below, the Quackenbush marked the first addition of a firearm chambered in .22 Long Rifle since the addition of the [[Ruger Mk III]] back in Update #5.

==Remington Model 8==
Update #42 added a [[Remington Model 8]] in .35 Remington, fitted with a rear tang-mounted peep sight. Notably, it is able to make use of stripper clips, which were added in this update. Update #46 added a short-barreled variant, which was then removed in Update #52 due to the inherent issues with cutting down the barrel of a long-recoil-operated rifle.

==Remington Model 81 Special Police==
The eleventh alpha build of Update #52 added a [[Remington Model 81|Remington Model 81 Special Police]], an updated version of the earlier [[Remington Model 8|Model 8]] capable of using detachable magazines. As with the in-game Model 8, the Model 81 is chambered in .35 Remington in-game.

==Ruger 10/22==
Update #56 (released July 4, 2018) added a synthetic-stocked [[Ruger 10/22]]. Along with the aforementioned Quackenbush, the 10/22 was the first .22 Long Rifle-chambered firearm in ''H3'' since Update #5's [[Ruger Mk III]].

==Sako 85==
A .308 Winchester-chambered [[Sako 85]] is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #13. Rounding out the update's collection of shortened firearms, Update #46 brought us an Obrez-esque sawn-off Sako.
[[File:H3VR Sako 85 Table.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Sako 85 sitting on a table. Considering the presence of a grab-laser, it's not likely to stay there for long.]]

[[File:H3VR Sako 85 Obrez Ejecting.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And if the action's still in one piece, then the gun works.]]
==SKS==
The [[SKS]] is one of the available firearms in-game (added through Update #18), and is fitted with a Tapco stock and converted to use 20-round detachable magazines. With the release of Update #42, it was granted the ability to use 10-round stripper clips. Update #54 added a classic, non-Bubba'd variant of the rifle, much to the relief of milsurp purists everywhere.

==Springfield Armory M1A SOCOM 16==
Update #58 added a [[SOCOM 16]] rifle, with a tan-finished synthetic stock. Like the real weapon (and unlike the game's other [[M14]] variants, presently included or otherwise), it fires exclusively in semi-auto.
[[File:H3VR SOCOM 16 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading the SOCOM 16; it comes with a short 10-round magazine by default, though it can also use the normal M14's 20- and 30-round magazines.]]

==Thompson Carbine==
A prototype version of the [[M1928A1 Thompson]] submachine gun chambered in .30 Carbine was added to the game in the 11th alpha of Update #52. It was developed for the US Light Rifle Program (which would eventually result in the adoption of the [[M1 Carbine]]), but was near-immediately rejected for being too heavy (over {{convert|lbs|10}}, compared to the stated maximum of {{convert|lbs|5}}.

==Tokarev SVT-40==
Update #48 added an [[SVT-40]] to the game, complete with an optional PU scope.

==Winchester Model 1873==
The Wurstworld update brought along a [[Winchester Model 1873]] lever-action rifle, chambered in .45 Long Colt (a caliber not initially offered in the 1873, though it is available in modern reproductions; this does make some sense when one takes into account what Wurstworld actually is). 2 variants were initially available (a "Trapper" carbine and a longer short rifle); a "Mare's Leg" sawn-off variant was added later. All of the rifle's variants have buckhorn sights and octagonal barrels.

==Winchester Model 1894==
The 2018 4th of July Update (Update #56) added the quintessentially American [[Winchester Model 1894]]. It has a 10-round capacity, and is chambered in .44 Magnum (one of the numerous cartridges that the 1894 has been offered in).

==Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum==
Added along with the [[Smith & Wesson Model 500]] in Update #59's 7th alpha, the [[Accuracy International Arctic Warfare Magnum]] is the first (and so far, only) weapon in ''H3'' chambered in .338 Lapua Magnum; it is also the largest-caliber sniper rifle in the game that isn't an anti-materiel rifle.

[[File:H3VR AWM Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a magazine. While many of ''H3VR'''s weapon models are purchased or donated from third-party sources, they are sometimes still modified on the game's end; the AWM is a perfect example of this, as its magazine and well were slightly too short to fit normal .338 Lapua rounds (which is correct; being retrofitted for .338LM rather than designed for it, the AWM's magazine can only fit slightly shorter-bulleted .338 rounds, which are sold specifically for this rifle; the decision to make it work with standard .338 Lapua was made in the interests of gameplay and development simplicity), so game dev Anton Hand had to perform "model surgery", as he put it, to lengthen the magazine and well.]]

==Barrett M107A1==
The [[Barrett M107A1]] anti-materiel rifle is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #22. Up until the 2018 4th of July Update and its [[Browning M2HB|"M2 Tombstone"]], the Barrett was the only weapon in the game chambered in .50 BMG.

[[File:H3VR M107A1 Barrel Recoiling.jpeg|thumb|none|600px|That being the weapon's short-recoil action, which means that the barrel reciprocates a short distance upon firing. This is to facilitate the unlocking of the bolt; the barrel and bolt are locked together and move backwards simultaneously for a short while, then the bolt and barrel separate, the bolt travels back further, and they both return to their locked positions; the period the bolt and barrel spend locked together is long enough for the chamber pressure to lower enough that the spent casing can safely be extracted and ejected without rupturing.]]

The [[Kimber Model 84#Model 8400|Kimber Model 8400]] is one of the rifles added in the 2016 Meatmas Update. In keeping with Update #46's theme of shortened variants of existing guns, the Kimber received a rather strange short-barreled variant in this update.

==Remington M40A1==
Added along with the [[SV-98]] in Update #59's ninth alpha build, the [[Remington M40A1]] helps pad out the game's collection of sniper rifles. The weapon in-game has a woodland camo stock, and is fitted with a standard-issue, non-detachable 10x scope.

==SVD Dragunov==
The [[SVD Dragunov]] is one of the available sniper rifles in-game. It was added in Update #18; at the time, it was permanently fitted with a side-mounted rail adaptor bracket, but this was made removable in Update #40, allowing the use of Soviet-type dovetail optics (or, for that matter, open iron sights).

His rifle, however, would go on to have its own far more successful revolution, freeing itself from the oppressive shackles of aftermarket rail mounts, scopes graduated for the wrong cartridge, and government-controlled media.]]

=Machine Guns=
==Bren Mk 2==
Update #50 brought along a [[Bren gun]], more specifically the Mk2 variant. Due to the fact that bipods were being updated and tuned at the time of Update #50's release, the variant added instead was one with a shortened barrel and no bipod or carrying handle, with the standard variant added later, in the eleventh alpha of Update #52.

==Browning M2HB==
The 2018 4th of July Update (more formally known as Update #56) added a modified [[Browning M2HB]], known as the "M2 Tombstone". It has a shortened barrel, and is fitted with a pair of top-mounted grips and a bracket for fitting an belt box; the latter serves as its namesake, with the weapon feeding from the 200-round tombstone-shaped ammo cans more normally associated with M2s in AA mounts. The icing on this incredibly absurd cake is the American flag paintjob on the receiver, for that extra patriotic flavor.

==Degtyaryov DP-28==
Included in the 11th alpha build of Update #52, the [[Degtyaryov DP-28]] comes in both full-length and shortened variants, as with the earlier WW2-era LMGs.

[[File:H3VR M249 Belt Closeup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before pausing for a closer look. This reveals that the belt contains one tracer for every 4 normal FMJ rounds, a common setup among belt-fed machine guns, as it makes it far easier to tell where the gun is firing. This is also pretty much the furthest the belt can be pulled out of the box (and you can't do it unless you attach the box to the gun first), presumably to not drive the CPU mad from trying to calculate the physics on a long, loose belt of ammo.]]

[[File:H3VR M249 Belt Gravity.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Yet another one of the weapon's many impressive details; when it is inverted, the belt visibly sags due to gravity.

[[File:H3VR M249 Belt Removed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthermore, if the feed tray is opened, then the belt can be removed separately, which causes it to compress itself into the small, convenient ball of ammunition seen here, which can be placed into the gun and causing it to transform into a belt again. This idiosyncrasy is once again because of CPU limitations (notice how the belt is never let loose at any point in the simulation), and these mechanics are used on all belt-feds with exposed belts in this game.]]

==Gatling Gun==
An 1800s-era [[Gatling Gun]] was added to the Wurstworld scene in Update #43, though there were indications of its not-present presence when the mode was first released. Update #56 (the 2018 4th of July Update) added a ''handheld'' version (chambered in .45-70), rather affectionately nicknamed "Hand Crank Frank".

==General Dynamics GAU-17/A==
A ''[[Terminator 2: Judgement Day|T2]]''-style handheld [[General Dynamics GAU-17/A]] is one of the firearms added in the 2016 Meatmas update, arguably the most fun, and indisputably the most absurd. While logically implausible, it does have one curious "realistic" touch - attempting to fire the weapon one-handed will cause it to spontaneously eject itself from the user's hand and go flying backwards under recoil; this has less to do with realism and more to do with the fact that protracted one-handed fire of a minigun would wreak havoc on the physics engine - not to mention the performance implications of firing two miniguns at once.

[[File:H3VR GAU-17 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Ammunition comes in the form of these belt boxes. These are good for a few seconds of continuous fire; unlike many fictional miniguns, which have drastically lowered fire rates, ''H3'''s GAU-17 chews through ammo at a rate of 2,700 RPM (1 round every frame, at a standardized framerate of 90 FPS), which is well within the GAU's ROF range of 2-6,000 RPM.]]
[[File:H3VR GAU-17 Loaded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|For convenience's sake, the tracer-filled belt saves the user the trouble of pushing through the flexible feed chute and just feeds itself through automatically.]]
[[File:H3VR GAU-17 Spinning.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Spinning up the minigun. In retrospect, this might not have been the most purposeful thing to screenshot.]]
[[File:H3VR GAU-17 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|''Descending, unrelenting, beauty of annihilation...'']]
[[File:H3VR GAU-17 Heated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A decent few seconds of sustained fire will leave the GAU-17's barrels looking like this. This is rather strange, considering how one of the main advantages of a rotary barrel system is that it's far more resistant to overheating; if a gun's barrel looks like this, then the user should be seriously worried. In-game, however, it has no effect on the gun's performance, and is purely for the sake of making the weapon more satisfying to use.]]
==M1918A2 BAR==
Update #50 added an [[M1918A2 Browning Automatic Rifle]] to ''H3''. For the same reasons as the [[Bren gun]]'s changes, the BAR included with the update also has a shortened barrel without a carrying handle or bipod. Update #52's 11th alpha build added the full-length version.
Interestingly, the shortened variant is rather reminiscent of Clyde Barrow's cut-down BAR, though that weapon was actually an original M1918, rather than an A2, and had a shortened stock as well as a truncated barrel. The version in H3 is also clearly meant to be an A2, considering the safe-slow-fast selector.

==MG42==
The second belt-fed weapon added to ''H3'' in Update #52 is the famous (or infamous, depending on which end of it you're on) [[MG42]].

==RPK==
The [[RPK]] is one of the numerous firearms added in the first Meatmas update. At the time, it was actually referred to as a Vepr-3V, the civilian semi-auto version of the RPK, but Update #32 changed it into a military full-auto model. It was then removed in Update #52 for rebuilding, and hasn't been heard from since.

=Launchers=
==Heckler & Koch M320==
Update #52's tenth alpha added a [[Heckler & Koch M320]] to the arsenal, in keeping with that alpha's generally explosive-centric nature.

==Homemade Flamethrower==
Added in Update #60, the "Junkyard Flamethrower" is, as the name implies, a homemade flamethrower composed of various pieces of tubing, wiring, and other miscellaneous bits.
[[File:H3VR Flamethrower Table.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The "Junkyard Flamethrower" on a table in the Proving Ground scene, along with a tank of fuel and a Molotov cocktail.]]

[[File:H3VR Flamethrower Tank.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before pausing to take a look at what was just loaded. The tank is labeled "Dr. Boner's Industrial Strength Nail polish remover", and features a warning to "USE ONLY IN A WELL-VENTILATED AREA"; from this, it can be inferred that the tanks (seemingly propane tanks, of the sort used in portable camp stoves and the like) are filled with concentrated acetone. While this may be second only to The Fury's [[Flammenwerfer 41]] loaded with unsymmetrical dimethylhydrazine and nitrogen tetroxide (i.e. ''rocket fuel'') from ''[[Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater]]'' in terms of odd flamethrower fuels, it does make some sense: as any bottle of non-industrial nail polish remover will tell you, acetone is highly flammable, and would make a more effective fuel than the gases commonly used in homemade flamethrowers, though its volatility and tendency to evaporate easily would limit its effective range and make it somewhat dangerous - not that an ordinary flamethrower is exactly OSHA-approved, mind you.]]

==M1A1 "Bazooka"==
Update #50 added the [[M1A1 Bazooka]] to ''H3'''s collection of explosive toys. Unfortunately, the reloading procedure is incorrectly simplified, with the rocket simply being shoved into the rear of the tube, without bothering to attach the wire to the electrical contacts at the rear of the launcher (which served to transfer electricity to, and ignite, the rocket's booster charge and motor).

[[File:H3VR M1A1 Bazooka Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the Bazooka produces a suitably impressive cloud of smoke.]]
==M79==
The [[M79 grenade launcher]] was one of the first weapons added to ''H3'', predating even the name; it, along with a few other weapons, was added to the early prototype stages of the game before it even received a proper name. In the 9th alpha of Update #52, the weapon got a new model and texture set, along with several new ammo types. These include 5 more-or-less normal rounds - an M381 high-explosive round, an M397 airburst round (which bounces off of whatever surface it hits and explodes in mid-air), an M576 buckshot round, an M781 inert practice round, and a CS gas grenade (which was added later, in the same update's 10th alpha) - and 4 more outlandish rounds (all of which have colorschemes and labels more reminiscent of novelty fireworks than of actual military ordnance). These are:
*The "X214 Steelbreaker", a high-velocity armor-piercing saboted round,
*The "X477 Cornerfrag", a low-yield fragmentation grenade that airbursts ''4 meters'' from the launcher's muzzle, intended for blindfiring around corners in close quarters (hence the name),
*The "X666 Baphomet", essentially a 40mm version of the Dragon's Breath round,
*and the later-released "X1776 Freedom Party", a 40mm flashbang that releases red, white, and blue confetti upon detonation.
[[File:H3VR M79 Old.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Admiring the M79 under the light of the warehouse's roof windows. Note the trigger guard; for whatever reason, this version of the launcher had a trigger guard that flopped around freely.]]
[[File:H3VR M79 Old Open.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Popping open the launcher.

==Milkor MGL==
Along with the [[M320]], Update #52's 10th alpha brought along a [[Milkor MGL]]; specifically, an MGL-140.
[[File:H3VR MGL Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a look at the MGL's left side...]]
[[File:H3VR MGL Right.jpg|thumb|none|thumb|none|600px|...and the right.]]

[[File:H3VR MGL Snapping.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Closing the MGL with a flick of the wrist, in spite of all sound logic. This is possible because the MGL is actually built off of the same code as the game's revolvers; a more curious side effect of this is the ability to spin the weapon around like a [[Team Fortress 2#Demoman|drunk, Scottish]] [[Metal Gear Solid#Colt Single Action Army|ocelot]].]]

[[File:H3VR MGL Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Celebrating this advancement in weapon knowledge by filling the air with burning magnesium.]]
==Orion Flare Gun==
The [[Orion Flare Gun]] is available in-game, having been added in Update #15. While it is capable of firing 12 gauge shells in-game, doing so with any sort of high-pressure shell (i.e. anything other than flares, "Cannonball" rounds, Dragon's Breath shells, or "Freedomfetti" shells) will destroy the flare gun, rendering it useless. However, Update #17 added a fictional steel-framed version capable of handling high-pressure loads.
[[File:H3VR Orion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Behold, the Orion, in something not even remotely resembling its natural habitat.]]
[[File:H3VR Orion Closeup.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A closer view, which shows that the frame is marked "Saiph"; this is a joke, as Saiph is one of the stars that makes up the Orion constellation.]]

[[File:H3VR Orion Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Bad idea in three...]]
[[File:H3VR Orion Broken.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Unsurprisingly, a plastic flare gun doesn't hold up well when subjected to over 10,000 PSI (over 68,000 kPa) of internal pressure. Also note the red streaks in the air; these are bullet trails, which can be toggled on and off at will through the options panel. Unusually, the options panel in ''H3'' is actually a ''physical object''.]]

[[File:H3VR Orion HP Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...which fares considerably better when firing high-pressure shells.]]
==RPzB 43/54 "Panzerschreck"==
Rounding out Update #50's collection of largely-WWII-centric weaponry is the [[Panzerschreck]]. Much like the [[M1A1 Bazooka]], reloading the weapon is a simpler process in-game than it is in reality; whereas in-game the rocket is simply stuffed into the tube and fired, in reality the rocket had to be properly lined up in the tube, and the user had to press down the pin on top of the contact box to allow electricity to be transferred to the rocket, thus allowing its ignition.

==RPG-7==
The 2016 Meatmas Update added 3 gifts on its 25th and final day, one of these being the game's first rocket launcher, the [[RPG-7]].
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Crate.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An RPG-7 and a crate full of rockets, found at the Sampler Platter's Dessert Table. It's a hard thing to find, too - you have to show up early, or else it'll all be taken by the 12:30 lunch rush.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Pointing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Yes, I ''get'' that it's not loaded, but that doesn't mean that this isn't the single stupidest thing you have ever done."]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Taking a closer look at the RPG-7, with it (thankfully) pointed in a far, far safer direction.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Loading.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Loading in a PG-7V rocket.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Cocking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following this is a step that a great many games tend to forget: cocking the hammer. The RPG-7 uses a revolver-style spur hammer (albeit one that strikes directly upwards) to set off its rockets; since the trigger mechanism is single-action-only, the hammer must be cocked before every shot.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Aiming" the RPG. Well, at least there was an attempt.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Firing the launcher...]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and watching the rocket hit its mark. While it can't be shown here (for obvious reasons), one thing to note is the inclusion of a sound delay system for distant explosions - even at the back of this relatively small range, there is still a noticeable delay between seeing the round go off and hearing it, meant to simulate the difference between the speeds of light and sound. This feature, along with a great many others (including the Sampler Platter itself), was introduced in Update #52.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Loading Side.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Amusingly, due to the way that ''H3'' defines loading (i.e. if a round intersects a certain trigger area, it is automatically loaded), simply slamming a rocket into the side of the RPG-7's main tube...]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Loaded.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...produces a loaded rocket launcher, presumably either meaning that the rockets are capable of teleportation, or that osmosis can be performed with far larger particles than scientists previously thought. IMFDB does not encourage the practice of slamming live rockets into things; doing so outside of a video game is highly unlikely to end well.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Aiming Close.jpg|thumb|none|600px|"Aiming" once again, this time at the cluster of shipping crates and explosive barrels that makes up the bulk of the Dessert Table's target content.]]
[[File:H3VR RPG-7 Explosion Close.jpg|thumb|none|600px|This has predictable results.]]
==Sturmpistole==
The final grenade launcher added in the 10th alpha of Update #52 is the [[Sturmpistole]], a WW2-era German experiment in converting the [[Leuchtpistole]] flare gun into a grenade launcher.
[[File:H3VR Sturmpistole.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Sturmpistole in all of its confounding glory.]]

=Non-Usable/NPC Weapons=
Several weapons in-game are featured solely as static images (for demonstration or decorative purposes); several other, more cartoonish-looking weapons are used by enemies such as Soldier Weinerbots (SWBs for short) and Sosigs.
==Glock 19==
A compact-sized Glock akin to the [[Glock 19]] (albeit with a [[Glock 26]]-length barrel and slide) was made available to SWBs (Soldier Weiner-Bots) in Update #46, although according to its Sosigun spawn-menu name, it is apparently meant as a cartoonish [[Glock 17]].
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Weinerbot ambles into an objective room...]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Axed.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and is promptly greeted with an axe to the face. If you can really call the featureless front of a Weinerbot's head a "face".]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|With the release of Update #59's second alpha build, the bots' Glock was made into a new type of object - a so-called "Sosigun" (so named because the new enemy that wields them is known as the "Sosig").]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Their simplistic (yet somewhat surprisingly detailed) model reflects the simplistic nature of their use - the only thing that the player can do with one of these is to fire it until it runs dry, with actions like slide-racking and reloading being entirely impossible. This is largely in the interest of performance; were enemies to wield fully-detailed weapons with full sets of interactions, the user's computer would very quickly begin to smell of smoke.]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Pointing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Still, in spite of this, there is at least one detail worth noting:]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Despite, again, being extremely simplistic models with only one possible point of interaction, these weapons still have reciprocating slides.]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Grab.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Furthermore, the enemies' weapons' newfound physicality gives the player the ability to rip a Sosig's weapon right out of its nonexistent hands...]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Throw.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and either throw it clear across the room...]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Counter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...or simply shoot the Sosig in the "face" with it.]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Attacking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A paranoid Sosig firing its Glock at another's corpse. This was caused by a bug in Update #59's early alpha builds; spawning the Sosigs, enabling wander/fight behavior, and setting them to different IFFs with dead Sosigs already present would cause the live Sosigs to identify the dead ones as threats.]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Aiming.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Drawing a bead on an enemy Sosig with the Glock's surprisingly workable sights.]]
[[File:H3VR Glock Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Following the eighth alpha build of Update #59, the Sosiguns were updated with new models and textures, generally making them look less like untextured raw models from early-mid 2000s third-person shooter games, and more like toys made of rubberized plastic, so as to better fit the aesthetic of the Sosigs themselves. This particular Glock is fitted with an equally-cartoonish suppressor, which does far more to muffle the gun's report than its size and muzzle flash would lead one to believe.]]
==Heckler & Koch MP5SD1==
The only strictly-dedicated suppressed weapon usable by enemies, the [[Heckler & Koch MP5SD1]] is currently not a standard player-usable weapon (bar its limited functionality as a "Sosigun").
[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Carried.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Sosig carrying an MP5SD1. Unlike many of their other weapons, the MP5 seemingly lacks a trigger guard.]]

[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Attacking.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The enemy firing its MP5SD1; in spite of the suppressor, it still produces a full-sized muzzle flash.]]
[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Returning fire at another Sosig with the now-captured MP5SD1. Note the ejection port; this contains a bolt that visibly reciprocates when the weapon is fired. Also note the object at the weapon's front end, which appears to be either a somewhat stretched-out front sight hood without an actual sight, or possibly (though less likelily) a Truglo-esque red-dot sight.]]
[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated MP5SD1, complete with ribbed handguard, non-solid front sight protector, and trigger guard.]]
[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Laser.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The Pacification Squad Sosigs, added in Update #62 (AKA Module 2 of the Return of the Rotweiners gamemode) use suppressed weapons (both MP5SD1s and suppressed versions of other weapons) fitted with visible laser sights, as seen in this rather awkward bit of CQC. The lasers would seem to run contrary to the purpose of the suppressors (although it could be argued that the Zosigs would be more attracted to gunshots than to red laser beams); this is simply in the name of balance, as being caught off-guard by a Pacification Squad patrol would likely mean near-instant death.]]
[[File:H3VR MP5SD Bot Holding.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The lasers seem to be activated by pressure switches (seeing as they're only active when being held), but yet neither pressure switches nor the actual lasers are visible on any of the weapons themselves; this MP5SD's laser apparently sees fit to instead just appear from the bottom of the handguard.]]
==IMI Uzi==
The full-size variant of the [[Uzi]] was added to ''H3'' in the tenth alpha of Update #52, as an optional weapon for SWBs. According to its Sosigun spawn menu name, it's chambered in .45 ACP, an available (though less common) option.
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|An Uzi-wielding bot belatedly realizes that [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|he picked the wrong house]].]]
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Close.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Getting a fair bit closer to an Uzi-wielding bot than is strictly advisable reveals the rather surprising level of detail it features: it has a charging handle, an ejection port, and even a modeled rear sight aperture, despite the fact that, as mentioned, nobody is meant to be getting this close to a bot for long enough to actually notice this. Meanwhile, one of the bot's incredibly bright tracers provides this shot with a bit more flair.]]
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Dropped.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Wounded and dazed, a Sosig drops its Uzi on the floor.]]
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Held.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Stealing the Uzi, and putting the poor thing out of its misery. The abnormally bright flash of light seen here is caused by the impact of an API (armor-piercing incendiary) round; this effect is part of the rebuild of tracers (and ballistics in general) that occurred in Update #59.]]
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another part of this rebuild is the migration of enemy weapons over to the new tracer system, as demonstrated by this unwilling test subject. Note that, as with their [[MAC-11]]s, enemies' Uzis strangely fire from a closed bolt with a reciprocating charging handle; it's even stranger here than it is on the MAC, however, as the Uzi's charging handle doesn't reciprocate (a fact which, as the [[Micro Uzi]] above demonstrates, the developers were aware of).]]
[[File:H3VR Uzi Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated Uzi; gone are the flat, matte-gray surfaces, along with the sights. And, while it's not visible here, the reciprocation of the charging handle.]]
==MAC-11==
Another Update #46 addition to the arsenals of SWBs is the [[MAC-11]].
[[File:H3VR MAC-11 Bot Targeted.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A hapless MAC-wielding Weinerbot ambles into an objective in Take & Hold mode, clearly unaware of what awaits.]]
[[File:H3VR MAC-11 Bot Close.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another bot prepares to meet an equally unfortunate end. It isn't entirely clear what the bot was hoping to accomplish with an uncocked, triggerless weapon.]]

==Remington 870==
Yet another SWB-usable weapon added in Update #46 is a sawn-off [[Remington 870]].
[[File:H3VR 870 Bot Pumping.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A Weinerbot in a rather awkward standoff with the player. Note that its 870's pump handle is pulled to the rear; Weinerbots' weapons actually have moving parts. It's almost like you're actually supposed to get close to them or something...]]

[[File:H3VR 870 Bot Cycling.jpg|thumb|none|600px|What follows is a pumping sequence that would seem a lot more normal were it not for the fact that this weapon is only being held with one hand; presumably in order to keep its behaviors simple enough to maintain the Sosiguns' low performance costs, the pump simply cycles itself automatically upon firing.]]

[[File:H3VR 870 Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated, rubberized 870 Sosigun. Not much has changed, apart from the addition of a couple of pins and some very widely-spaced pump handle serrations.]]
==AKM==
As mentioned, the 10th alpha of Update #52 added the [[AKM]] to the arsenals of SWBs.
[[File:H3VR AKM Bot Counter.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...and unloading it into its former owner, sending out a shower of mustard and meat chunks in the process.]]
[[File:H3VR AKM Bot Left.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Examining the stubby AKM. Note that it uses early-pattern "slab-side" magazines, presumably in order to maintain a low poly-count.]]

[[File:H3VR AKM Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated model of the Sosigs' AKM. Not a whole lot has changed here, but the weapon notably does have Bakelite-styled magazines instead of the prior slab-sides, along with an [[AK-74]]-esque stock divot.]]
==Colt Model 607==
The final weapon made available to the SWBs in Update #46 was most likely intended as a cartoonish [[M16A1]], with the resultant weapon resembling a [[M16 rifle series#Colt XM177/CAR-15/Commando Series|Colt Model 607]].

[[File:H3VR 607 Bot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Another bot "meating" a similar end. Fun fact: you can't tell for sure if this gun is facing towards or away from the camera. And now you can never unsee that.]]

That seems like a solid plan.]]

[[File:H3VR 607 Bot Right.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A far more heavily-armored Sosig helpfully showing off the other side of its rifle. While it's presumably just a result of the rifle's deliberately low-poly modeling (especially since it's indexed in the spawning menu as "M16"), the shortened stock, exposed-barrel-to-handguard ratio, and slickside upper receiver (complete with modeled ejection port) help further peg it as a Model 607.]]

[[File:H3VR 607 Bot Updated.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The updated model of the 607 brings with it the rather curious choice of a handguard with grasping serrations rather like those of an [[M16A2]]; it also has space in the lower receiver for a magazine release, but not the actual magazine release itself.]]

==Unkown AR-15 Carbine==
The wooden hot dog soldier targets (yes, you read that right) seen in certain scenes are drawn with somewhat generic, hard-to-identify [[AR-15]]-pattern carbines. The item spawner's tutorial/example image for closed-bolt, magazine-fed firearms also features a simplistic-looking AR to illustrate the various controls involved in any such weapon's operation.
[[File:Colt-M-16-A-2-m723.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Colt Model 723 - 5.56x45mm NATO. Similar to the rifles in-game.]]

==Remington Model 700 VTR==
While not physically present in-game, a [[Remington 700|Remington Model 700 VTR]] with a bipod appears on the item spawner's instruction panel as an example of a bolt-action rifle.
[[File:Remington700VTR.jpg|thumb|none|450px|Remington Model 700 VTR - .308 Winchester]]
[[File:H3VR M700 VTR.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M700 VTR on the instruction panel. Note the affixed bipod; it appears that the image above was used as a reference.]]
==Steyr Scout==
Update #52's 10th alpha gave SWBs the ability to use [[Steyr Scout]] rifles. They boast high damage, accuracy, and range, offset by their low fire rates and capacities.
[[File:H3VR Scout Bot.jpg|thumb|none|600px|A bot with a rather comically proportioned Scout wanders into a Hold Point, and begins to wonder if this is really the best weapon for close-quarters combat against a lunatic with a sawn-off [[Sten]] and a [[SPAS-12]] loaded with high-explosive shells.]]

[[File:H3VR Scout Bot Firing.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Putting the downed Sosig out of its misery reveals something else of note: much like their sawn-off [[Remington 870]]s, the Sosigs' Scouts have self-cycling bolts; again, this is meant to keep the weapons as simple as possible.]]

=Grenades=
=="Cyber Grenade"==
Added concurrently with the stylized [[M67 hand grenade|M67]] below (i.e. before ''H3VR'' was ''H3VR''), the "Cyber Grenade" (or more properly, the "Hedron Munitions Variable Fuse Timing Grenade") is based loosely on the [[MK3 offensive hand grenade]] - more precisely, it is based on the MK3-based "M82" grenade from ''[[Half-Life 2]]''. As the name implies, its fuse is adjustable, with options for 2-, 3-, 5-, 8-, and 12-second fuses, each including appropriate gradually-quickening-and-pitch-sharpening booming of a speaker and blinking of a red LED.

==M18 Smoke Grenade==
Update #52's 10th alpha added the [[M18 smoke grenade]] to the game. There are two types available - a normal red one, and a (sadly) fictitious red, white, and blue one.
[[File:H3VR M18.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting an M18, whilst wondering whether or not the indoor range has smoke alarms.]]

[[File:H3VR M18 Smoke.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Thanking the Broken God MEKHANE that no alarms went off, the invisible cultist takes a closer look at the developing smoke cloud. Note that the cloud is just a bunch of opaque red spheres; the reasoning behind this stylistic approach is twofold: it helps ease the impact that these grenades have on a user's computer (especially when one considers that these grenades can be spawnlocked and thrown in limitless quantities hither, mither, and yonder), and it allows for more dynamic effects - the smoke in this game responds to the presence of objects and level geometry, expands and moves with respect to other smoke-spheres, and can be pushed around by explosions; they also release smoke gradually, rather than all at once as in most games, which allows the player to run around with a lit smoke grenade in each hand, leaving a trail of smoke behind them.]]
The [[M67 hand grenade]] is available in-game (being added in the game's earliest stages of development, prior to the game even having a name), referred to therein as the "M219 Greaseweasel Fragmentation Grenade". The Meatmas update added a special red-painted variant known as the "M25 Jingler"; this acts much the same as the standard version, but produces sounds of jingling bells when it detonates.
[[File:H3VR M67.jpg|thumb|none|600px|And no, we weren't lying about the name. Note the rather [[M26 hand grenade|M26]]-like mid-body seam, contrasting with the grenade's M67-like shape. Well, it ''is'' a fictional model, after all...]]

[[File:H3VR M67 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|...before commencing the also frowned-upon act of watching it go off from about 10 meters away.]]
==M84 Stun Grenade==
The final item added to the game in the 10th alpha of Update #52 is the [[M84 stun grenade]]. Of note is that ''H3'' correctly shows the M84's dual pins, something which very few pieces of media demonstrate.
[[File:H3VR M84 Pin 1.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Pulling out the first pin...]]

[[File:H3VR M84 Explosion.jpg|thumb|none|600px|The M84 detonating. ''H3'' is noteworthy in that its flashbangs don't use the standard video game system for flashbangs wherein the explosion whites out the player's screen and fills their speakers with a tinnitus-like ringing; this is because, when using a VR headset, the M84's effects are significant enough to cause such an effect on players anyway. But of course, don't just take it from me...]]

==Mk. 2 Hand Grenade==
The first of three WW2-era grenades added in the 11th alpha build of Update #52 is the [[Mk 2 hand grenade]].

The third and final of these grenades is the [[No. 69 High-Explosive Grenade]], a British WW2-era "offensive"-type hand grenade with an impact-based fuze.
[[File:H3VR No 69.jpg|thumb|none|600px|Inspecting a fresh plastic grenade.

Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades, also known as H3VR, is a virtual-reality shooting gallery sandbox game with an emphasis on realistic weapon operation. Using the HTC Vive's motion controllers players can manipulate individual rounds in a magazine, pull the cocking lever, flip safeties, deploy a bipod, fold or collapse the stock, dry-fire, and even adjust the zeroing on sights and scopes. The axis of the motion controller even conforms to the angle of each individual weapon's grip.
Outside of custom models created for the game, a good portion of the game's weapon models come from either publicly available 3D assets sold on asset stores and direct donations from freelance weapon artists to the game's lead Anton Hand. With some detailed research, it is even possible to identify the exact creators of individual models, either by researching in the asset stores or artist portfolios. For instance, many of the early weapons have made-up markings, a feature of weapons from the "Ultimate FPS Weapons Pack" by weapon artist ChamferZone, and a series of Mauser C96 variants added later in the game are all from the "Mauser Pistol Pack" by Stefan Engdahl. More info on weapon assets and artists can be found in the discussion page.
Note: Seeing as H3VR currently contains over 250 firearms, keeping all of them on a single page could cause those with slower internet connections to have difficulties loading it. As such, this page has been split into two parts. To view the game's pistols, revolvers, submachine guns, shotguns, and assault rifles, stay on this page. To view the game's rifles, carbines, battle rifles, sniper rifles, machine guns, launchers, unusable/NPC weapons, and grenades, click here.
Additional note: due to inherent difficulties with VR screenshots, most screenshots on this page are from devlog videos by game director Anton Hand, with the remainder being provided by members of the game's Reddit page, r/H3VR; these users will be noted in the respective weapons' sections.
The following weapons appear in the video game Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades:
While not directly usable in-game, a Beretta 92FS (different from the M9A1 below) is seen on the item spawner's instruction panel as an example handgun, showing off some standard controls and functions.
Replicas of the modified Grammaton Cleric pistol from the movie Equilibrium are available in-game, having been added through Update #37. The Grammaton Cleric comes in full-auto, and boasts the same interesting muzzle flash as the movie gun.
The Beretta 950 Jetfire is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added through the first Meatmas update. 2 versions are available - a standard blued model with black plastic grips, and a gold-plated model with mother-of-pearl grips.
The Beretta M9A1 is one of the 4 pistols added in Update #5. Upon its introduction, it was permanently fitted with a suppressor; this was removed in favor of a threaded barrel in Update #20 (which introduced detachable suppressors to the game).
The Beretta Px4 Storm is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #20, and is correctly able to share magazines with the earlier M9A1, the concurrently-added Cx4, and the later-added Mx4.
The Wurstwurld update brought along a Bergmann Simplex pocket pistol, among many other things. Of note is that this is the first ever appearance of this weapon in a video game, and only the second documented appearance of it in any form of media, the first being in The Mystic Archives of Dantalian.
The Browning Hi-Power was the first weapon added in the 1st Meatmas update. Notably, it is correctly depicted as being unfireable without a magazine inserted.
The M1911A1 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #3. Update #23 added 2 cosmetic variants: one with a matte-gray finish and green synthetic grips, and one with a gold-plated finish and black grips. A unique version of the latter with unlimited ammunition, full-automatic fire capability, and a length of about 1 meter is available in the Meatmas level; this is referred to as, of all possible names, "Floppy McLongflopper".
Update #52's 7th alpha build (the April Fools' Day special) included the so-called "Oversize" version of the M1911A1. As the name implies, it is substantially larger than the standard M1911A1, being more akin in size to a howitzer than a handgun; to facilitate human use, it is fitted with several RIS-type grips for handling, a rail on the side for sights (as attempting to aim with the standard slide-mounted irons would likely lead to the user being decapitated), and an equally massive bipod for more stable use.
It fires the ".45 ACP Oversize" round, which, amusingly, had already been added to the game several updates prior; many enterprising players combined this with the ability to cook off and/or directly strike the primers of loose rounds to set them off (introduced in Update #48), and the game's substantial amounts of freedom with regards to rail adaptor placement (or spacially-lockable platforms, for that matter) to create various devices to launch these rounds.

INC" out of "HEDEN, .N.Y".

A real priorital toss-up, I know.Error creating thumbnail: File missingThanks to the magic of bullet trails, the MIRV round's mechanics can be more clearly seen; each shell starts out solid, then splits into 7 smaller explosive shells after a fixed period in mid-air (or just explodes all at once if it hits something first).
Colt Woodsman Match Target
One of the weapons added in the 2018 Halloween update (the main headline of which was the Return of the Rotweiners gamemode, a large-scale rogue-lite zombie RPG) was a Colt Woodsman Match Target .22 target pistol with gold-inlaid engravings and pearl grips.
One of the first firearms added to H3VR (before it even carried that name, in fact), along with the "Cartoon 8 Gauge" sawn-off shotgun, was the "Cyber Pistol", a fictional semi-automatic handgun with an integrated laser sight. It feeds from a 9-round single-stack magazine; this initially used a simple, proprietary round known only as "Cyber Pistol" ammunition; in Update #52, it was changed to use the same "10mm DSM" ammo as the LAPD 2019 Blaster. The Cyber Pistol isn't presently attainable through the standard item spawner, though some scenes feature an Easter egg fully-automatic version with infinite ammo, and the standard version can be obtained through random spawns in modes such as Take & Hold.
A Desert Eagle Mark VII, chambered in .44 Magnum is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #26, an update that (perhaps more significantly) also added the Meat Grinder gamemode.
On April Fools' Day of 2018, Update #52's 7th alpha build was released. Among other things, this included the "Degle.50", a cardboard Desert Eagle held together with duct tape. The weapon was meant as a joke response to a poorly-spelled Steam request for a replica of the Desert Eagle seen in Blue Estate. It fires the ".50 Imaginary" round, of which several types (with names just as eloquent as that of the pistol itself) are available. To top it off, all of the Degle's sound effects were created by game director Anton Hand - not mixed, mind you, but literally created - the sounds are all Anton saying various onomatopoeia associated with the weapon's functions.
To compliment the .44 Mark VII, Update #58 added a Desert Eagle Mark XIX in .50 Action Express. The in-game handgun is a more recent Magnum Research model, with rails on the barrel and frame, and a ported barrel.
Update #58 added a much-requested handgun, the FN Five-seveN. The in-game weapon is a USG model, the most common of the bunch (despite no longer being in production), and has an FDE frame.
So far the only known media appearance of this fairly rare French machine pistol, the UNION was a version of the Ruby capable of full-auto fire. It had a distinctive 35-round horseshoe magazine, which is replicated in-game.

Glock 17
Update #53 added a series of 9x19mm Glock pistols, the first of which being the ubiquitous Glock 17 to H3VR, specifically a 4th-generation model. It comes in 2 flavors - vanilla, and "Custom", the latter having a flared magazine well, raised aftermarket iron sights, a slide-mounted red dot sight, and a modified slide resembling the ZEV Technologies Dragonfly, with diagonal slide serrations and milling cuts around the barrel. It also comes with a unique magazine, interchangeable with the other 9mm Glocks.
The third (or, again, fourth if the customized G17 is counted) and final Update #53 Glock is a 3rd-gen Glock 19 with an FDE frame and a extended threaded barrel. Before it was made a usable weapon, a cartoonish-looking compact-sized Glock was made available to Soldier Weinerbots in Update #46.
The Intratec TEC-9 is one of the game's available firearms; it has a rather strange "tacticool" orange paintjob. Initially, 2 versions were available - a standard semi-auto variant, and a variant converted to full-auto; Update #53 changed the latter into a converted Interdynamic KG-9, leaving only the standard semi-auto version.
Update #53 added an IWI Uzi Pro Pistol. True to its real-life nature, it is treated in-game as a semi-auto-only closed-bolt pistol, rather than as a machine pistol, as one may assume at first glance.
Update #50 added a Kimber Warrior, fitted with non-standard grip panels, raised red illuminated iron sights, and a permanently-attached red dot sight, known as the "M1911A1 Tactical". The sixth alpha build of Update #52 added a further customized model, with a slide with milling cuts, a different slide-mounted RDS, and bone grips, called the "M1911A1 Operator".

Luger P08
The Luger P08 is another handgun option in-game, added through Update #47.
Update #43 introduced the Mauser C96 to the game. The weapon holds 10 rounds of the 7.63x25mm Mauser cartridge (which, like some in the game, was added before there were any weapons that could use them), and can be reloaded round-by-round or with a 10-round stripper clip.
In a similar vein to its 3 extra Luger variants, Update #52 brought along 3 variants of the Mauser C96, the first being a Mauser M712 Schnellfeuer machine pistol.
Moses Brothers Self-Defense Engine Frontier Model B
Unlocked as a reward, the "Frontier Model B" is a precise replica of Captain Malcom's gun from Serenity and Firefly. While the original prop was actually a Taurus Model 85 in a multi-part casing meant to make it look like a semi-automatic, magazine-fed handgun, in-game it is just that- a magazine-fed, semi-automatic handgun that holds 6 rounds (plus one in the chamber) of the proprietary .36 Moses cartridge.
The Ruger Mk III is one of the available firearms in-game; it was added in Update #5, and was, until the release of Update #56, the only weapon in the game chambered in .22 Long Rifle. Notably, its magazine safety (a system that prevents the pistol from firing if no magazine is inserted) is correctly simulated in-game.
Update #59's ninth alpha build added the Ruger Mk IV, an improved version of the Mk III with a simplified disassembly procedure. 2 versions were added: a stainless Hunter model with high-contrast illuminated sights, and a Standard model with a custom integrated suppressor, known as the "Whisper" variant. As with the earlier Mk III, the Mk IVs both have simulated magazine safeties.
The compact version of the SIG-Sauer P250 is one of the available firearms in-game. It has a two-tone finish, is chambered in .45 ACP, and was added in Update #5.
Update #57 added one firearm, the Compact-eXploder machine pistol, made by Japanese science fiction mangaka Masamune Shirow's fictional arms company Seburo. In-game, the weapon is referred to as the "SCX" (i.e. Seburo Compact-eXploder), and fires the 4.6x30mm HK round (its caliber never being specified in the original source material).
The 12th alpha build of Update #52 added a Thompson Center Arms Contender pistol chambered in .45-70 Government, with a curious combination of a wooden forearm and a synthetic grip. Interestingly, it uses the same code-base as the earlier-added Orion Flare Gun, due to the near-identical manual of arms.
The Tokarev TT-33 is one of the available firearms in-game. It was the first "real" handgun added (barring the fictitious "Cyber Pistol"), and predates H3's release altogether; it was one of the few weapons included in the very first early access build of the game.
...what? Were you expecting something that actually fits into the section and flows well? Nope. Too bad. This is all you get.
Volcanic Repeater
The Volcanic Repeater is one of the firearms added in the Wurstworld update. It's based on an early Smith and Wesson produced Navy model, with iron frame over the later brass frame, and is chambered for .41 caliber "Rocket Ball" rounds, which are (correctly) rather anemic.
Update #39 added the Chiappa Rhino to the game's arsenal; rather than simply choosing one version, H3 made the rather impressive choice of adding all of them - the 20DS, the 40DS, the 50DS, and the 60DS.
Update #42 made the Colt SAA available for use in-game, specifically the 5.5" barreled model; this was the first single-action revolver added to H3. Of note is that the weapon will fire if it is dropped on the hammer, provided that the hammer is uncocked and resting on a loaded chamber. This interesting, realistic touch is a trait shared by the other single-action revolvers added to the game later, including the Reichsrevolver M1879 and the Nagant M1895.
The SAA was actually present in the game long before Update #42, albeit not in physical form; the "Amendment 35" poster in the indoor shooting range features 2.
Update #43 introduced the LAPD 2019 Blaster from Blade Runner, referring to it as the "LAPD 2019 Special" (another one of its common names). It is perhaps one of the most intricate depictions of the weapon in any piece of media (and most certainly the most complex weapon in the game):
The weapon, at its core, is a 5-shot, swing-out cylinder DAO revolver, chambered for the proprietary (and fictional) 10mm DSM (Discarding Sabot Magnetic) cartridge. This cartridge has a variety of available ammo types, including:
"Slugger" rounds (the weapon's default ammunition type; a hard-hitting, high-impact round),
Fragmentation rounds (yes, the weapon can fire grenades),
"Turbo Penetrator" rounds (a high-velocity armor-piercing round that doesn't impart much energy, but can penetrate a variety of targets),
and highly sensitive, surface-adhering, low-velocity, motion-sensitive proximity mine rounds (while the sensitivity is nice for dealing with enemies, it also means that they can be detonated by other things, including miscellaneous nearby moving objects, other proximity mines as they fly through the air, and even simply being fired in the charged mode, meaning that their sensitivity can be either a benefit or a hazard).
Furthermore, the hollow underneath the weapon's barrel is storage for the weapon's batteries (which bring the profile fully into line with the original prop, complete with LEDs that change color as the battery loses charge) used in the railgun-assisted mode, which dramatically increases muzzle velocity, at the cost of creating massive amounts of heat (as one would expect from a railgun).
To help slow the weapon's overheating, heat sinks (called "thermal clips" in-game) are placed into what was the Steyr Mannlicher Model SL's chamber on the original prop (the bolt handle is turned to expose the heat sink, and pulled back to eject it if necessary); these have to be replaced regularly to prevent the weapon from overheating critically. As the weapon overheats, its barrel will begin to put off steam, then glow progressively brighter and brighter, while the accuracy and battery efficiency suffer; eventually, if the weapon reaches its highest heat level, its barrel will be permanently damaged, causing a significant drop in accuracy even after the weapon cools down.

Nagant M1985
The Nagant M1985 was added through Update #47. It holds 7 rounds of 7.62x38mmR Nagant ammunition, of which only it uses. Notably, it is treated as single-action only, the reasons for this being twofold: the weapon was built to use the same code set as the Colt SAA and Reichsrevolver M1879, and the Nagant has a notoriously heavy trigger pull in double-action due to its unique gas-seal mechanism; while it wasn't the original intended purpose, this also allows the weapon to be effectively suppressed, a capability that is emulated in-game. This single-action behavior could also be indicative of the so-called "Private's Model" variant of the Nagant, which was in fact SAO.
Added through the long-awaited Update #45, the Reichsrevolver M1879 is available for use in-game, and is (understandably) the only weapon in-game to use the 10.6x25mmR cartridge.

Smith & Wesson Model 10
A 5"-barreled Smith & Wesson Model 10 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the Wurstworld update.
The Smith & Wesson Model 327 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in the 2016 Meatmas update. Uniquely, the revolver in-game is a left-handed model, the cylinder swinging out to the right instead of the left as is normally the case.
Added in the 7th alpha build of Update #59, the Smith & Wesson Model 500 makes its mark as the most powerful (per-shot) non-fictional handgun in the game.
Smith & Wesson Model 629 Stealth Hunter/686P Hybrid
One of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update was a strange hybrid of Smith & Wesson revolvers, with the overall appearance of a Model 629 Stealth Hunter, but the .357 Magnum chambering and 7-shot cylinder of a Model 686P.
The Webley Mk VI has been added with the release of Update #47. It was initially chambered for the ".454 Webley" round, a mis-writing of .455 Webley; this error was later corrected. Notably, it is also the first top-break revolver in the game.
The fully-automatic variant of the earlier-added Cx4, the Beretta Mx4 Storm, was added in Update #52.

Błyskawica
Added in the 11th alpha build of Update #52, the Błyskawica, a Polish submachine gun manufactured clandestinely under German occupation, is usable in H3.
The Brügger & Thomet MP9 was added in the 2016 Meatmas update, permanently fitted with B&T's distinctive railed suppressor. Update #46 added a version without the fixed suppressor; the suppressor was then made an attachment in Update #52, which resulted in the removal of the suppressed version.
The Gepard PDW is one of the available submachine guns in-game, having been added in the first Meatmas update. This is also the only known appearance of this rare Russian prototype PDW in any media.
A Heckler & Koch MP5A2 with a Surefire forend is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added to the game with Update #7. Update #24 made some changes, including the addition of a top rail, and the ability to adjust the sights and turn on the flashlight.
Between the release of Update #9 (when it was added) and Update #20 (when it was removed), the game's MP5K was actually a stockless MP5K-PDW, as identified by the distinctive muzzle device. It was replaced by the MP5KA4 due to inaccuracies in the model, many of which were magazine-related.
The Heckler & Koch UMP45 is one of the available firearms in-game; it was added in Update #7, along with the MP5A2. Prior to the release of Update #52, it was permanently fitted with a vertical foregrip.
Update #54 added an IMI Micro Uzi to H3's collection; the weapon was, however, present in-game long before then, being featured on the icon for the "Spray & Pray" category in the MEATS (Modular Environment Adaptive Target Simulation) game mode.
In the 9th alpha of Update #59, two versions of the Uzi were added: the solid-stocked "Classic", and the folding-stocked "Compact"; prior to this, in Update #52's 10th alpha, the folding-stocked version was added as an option for SWBs.
A full-auto converted Interdynamic KG-9 is one of the available firearms in-game; it features the same strange strange paintjob as the TEC-9. It is referred to as a modified version of the latter; it initially was, until Update #53 converted it from closed-bolt to open-bolt, effectively turning it into an earlier open-bolt KG-9.
The second variant of the Luger coming to the game in Update #52 is a downright bizarre modification of the P08, which has a considerable amount of AKM parts attached to it, including a stock, a handguard (with a Soviet-type dovetail rail on the side), a set of sights, and a barrel and gas tube, the latter of which actually contains the weapon's barrel; a hole has been placed in the front sight tower for this to fire through. As if that weren't ridiculous enough, it is also fully-automatic, which, due to the Luger's toggle-locked action, leads to a downright absurd rate of fire.
However, perhaps the strangest thing about this weapon is that it actually exists. Made by German custom gun shop Waffen Werle, it is exactly what was described - an automatic Luger modded out with AKM parts.
The Kedr PP-91 is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #19; Update #24 gave it some changes, including a 2-setting rear sight and a side-mounted Picatinny rail.
Added through Update #50, the classic M1A1 Thompson is usable.

This is not, as one may initially suspect, a missing texture; rather, it is actually a view through the ejection port.Error creating thumbnail: File missingUpon flipping the weapon over, one discovers that the aforementioned view through the ejection port is made possible by the Thompson's bolt hold-open; unlike many open-bolt firearms, if a Thompson is dry-fired with a magazine inserted (i.e. when the trigger is held after firing the last shot in full-auto), the bolt will not go forwards.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAnd, of course, what better way to celebrate the presence of bolt hold-open devices than to fire randomly at absolutely everything.
Update #51 added a variant with the OSS-type integral suppressor; while this isn't necessarily impossible, suppressors were more common on the later M3A1 variant. This choice was likely made to reuse most of the existing M3 model. The update also made the previously permanently-collapsed stock extendable.
The MAC-11 is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added to the game in its infancy- all the way back in Update #4. Following Update #46, SWBs can now make use of these.

MP40
Added through Update #50, the MP40 is available for use in H3VR.
The second of Update #52's 3 C96 variants is a derivative of the above Schnellfeuer, and a rather curious one at that: a Brazilian PASAM submachine gun, modified with a top rail and a Vz. 61 Skorpion-esque top-folding stock.
The model itself is a publicly-available 3D asset by weapon artist Stefan Engdahl, going by the name "Mauser Assault Carbine" and sold on CG Trader alongside all the other C96 variants seen in-game as the "Mauser Pistol Pack." It is a strange hybrid which appears to be based on a photograph of a converted airsoft gun, with a standard C96 pistol grip like a Mod 1 PASAM but the barrel shroud attached to the top of the magazine housing rather than all along it, with a vaguely Thompson-like foregrip which is not really like either PASAM variant, and the folding wire stock which no variant had (the 2nd variant of the PASAM only had a fixed wire stock). On ArtStation, Engdahl acknowledged that it's a modification of his Mauser M712 model he made for fun.
The PP-19 Bizon-2 is one of the available firearms in-game. It was added in Update #18; upon its release, it was permanently fitted with a side-mounted Picatinny rail adaptor, but this was made into an attachment in Update #40. It is chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, and as such, holds 53 rounds.
A fictional version of the PPSh, also added through Update #50, this weapon is seemingly intended as a modernized variant of the original 1941 design (which, if the name is anything to go by, was designed in 2014). The model is done by Pavel Kutejnikov.
Added through Update #46, the "QC9 PDW" is an AR-15-patterned submachine gun chambered in 9x19mm. It appears to consist of a QC10 Colt-magazine-compatible 9mm lower, a VLTOR upper, and a Magpul MOE stock and pistol grip, among other things. In-game, it can take 3 types of magazines- a 32-round Colt-pattern stick magazine, a 32-round "waffle"-pattern polymer stick magazine, or an X-Products X-15 50-round drum magazine.
The Sa. Vz. 61 Skorpion is available in H3, having been added with the M.E.A.T.S. gamemode in Update #37. The one in-game has a bit of an identity crisis; it's visually a Vz. 61, complete with curved magazines, but it's referred to as a Vz. 64, and is accordingly chambered in .380 ACP.
Update #49 added the Sten Mk II submachine gun, which marks the first time since the introduction of the MAC-11 that an open-bolt weapon was added to H3VR. Notably, the weapon's secondary grip zone (where the user's non-firing hand goes) is around the barrel shroud, meaning that the game only allows the proper two-handed grip with the secondary hand around the barrel shroud, the improper magazine grip disallowed. There is also another variation, the so-called "Mk. 9 Chopshop" variant, with a shortened barrel and a cut-down stock.
The TDI Vector is one of the firearms added in Update #37. 2 variants of the weapon were initially available in-game: a standard one, and one fitted with the barrel shroud and extended barrel of the CRB civilian carbine variant, though still possessing the trigger and 120-degree safety of a Gen I version; Update #52 made an attachable suppressor out of the extended barrel's shroud, before Update #53 turned it into a shrouded barrel extension, and removed the now-redundant long-barreled Vector. Both are fitted with a factory AR-15 stock adaptor, attached to which is an aftermarket stock; they were also initially fitted with non-removable vertical foregrips, until Update #52 made foregrips into attachments, and removed them from any weapons that initially had them.
Added in the firearms drop in Update #59's ninth alpha build, the Baikal MP-155K (a semi-automatic, magazine-fed sporting shotgun of Russian origin) makes its first documented media appearance in H3VR.
The Beretta DT11 is one of the 4 shotguns added in Update #15. Following Update #46, 2 new variants were added - one with a shortened set of barrels, and one with further-shortened barrels and a cut-down stock.
The H&K FABARM Martial Pro Forces is one of the available firearms in-game. It was the game's first pump-action shotgun, and is tied with the Benelli M4 Super 90 for the game's first 12-gauge shotgun, both having been added in Update #6.
The Franchi SPAS-12 is one of the available firearms in-game, added in Update #24. 2 variants are available - a standard model with a folding stock, and a stockless model with a rail system and spare shell holder. Highly unusually for a video game, the SPAS-12's dual-mode semi-auto/pump-action functionality is depicted in H3, even more unusually with its intended purpose being exploitable (i.e. switching between semi-auto for high-pressure shells and pump-action for low-pressure ones). Unfortunately, however, the switching is performed by a simple touchpad button press on the forward hand's controller, with the pump not ever visibly moving to reflect the change in mode (always being shown in the correct position for pump-action fire, and never moving forward to switch to semi-auto); furthermore, the weapon's loading procedure is simplified, with the real weapon's requirement to hold down the bolt release in order to load shells into the magazine tube being omitted in-game.
The "KWG1" is one of the available firearms in-game, added through Update #15. It is a fictional magazine-fed full-auto shotgun, rather reminiscent of the "Bolter" weapons from the Warhammer 40K universe. It is based on an image of what seems to be some sort of stage or cosplay prop, which was then adapted into a 3D model by artist Pavel Kutejnikov.
The prop that the "KWG1" was based upon, which seems to have an MP5 S-E-F trigger pack. Also note the shells in the magazine; the length of the brass, the plastic-like gloss across them, and the manner in which they are stacked (parallel to each other, which wouldn't be possible with actual shotgun shells due to their rims) all point towards this being a prop, rather than an actual live-firing shotgun.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAfter several hours of cutting, welding, and riveting, the work finally bears fruit.Error creating thumbnail: File missingLoading some "SWAG-12" high-explosive shells (an obvious play on the real-world FRAG-12 explosive shells) into one of the KWG1's distinctive windowed magazines.

Mossberg 590A1
The Mossberg 590A1 is one of the four shotguns added in Update #15, and the second pump-action shotgun added to H3 on the whole.
The MTs255 revolving shotgun was added to the game in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available - a standard full-length version, and a version with a sawn-off barrel and stock.

The Dragon's Breath round is rather interesting: it is filled with pieces of magnesium, which catch fire as they fly through the air, and start fires where they land, as seen here. Due to the round's low pressure and high cost, coupled with international regulations on the use of incendiary munitions on human beings (and the risk of setting things on fire by accident), these incendiary shells aren't used in any sort of martial capacity, and are largely a civilian novelty.Error creating thumbnail: File missingAiming the shotgun at a couple of Molotov cocktails bottles of Frank's Fantastic Festively Fragrant And Fiercely Flavorful Fancy Fire Fluid.

Remington 870 Field Gun
The Meatmas Update of 2016 added a Remington 870 Field Gun with a cut-down barrel. Update #46 added two additional variants, one with a sawn-off stock and one with a full-length barrel; it also made the latter one of the available weapons for SWBs.
The later detachable-magazine variant of the Remington 870, the 870 DM, was added in Update #52. It is in the "TAC-14" configuration, a variant with a 14" barrel and a Shockwave Industries Raptor grip, which is meant to make it evade NFA regulations regarding short-barreled shotguns by way of legally not being classified as anything other than a "firearm". The one in-game is also presumably either modified or broken, seeing as it is capable of slam-fire, unlike a normal 870.
A Saiga 12 with a side-folding stock is one of the available firearms in-game, added through Update #40. It can use either factory 5-round magazines, aftermarket 12-round box magazines, or aftermarket 20-round drums.
There are 4 main varieties of Sawed-off Double Barrel Shotgun in-game. The first (and also one of the first weapons added to the game, back when the game was just Anton Hand's experiment grounds and not even named H3VR yet) was the so-called "Cartoon 8 Gauge", which sounds downright painful, the second is a more reasonable 12-gauge version (seen below), and the 3rd is the same as the second, except sawn down to Killing Them Softly-level absurdity (albeit unlike that movie's shotgun, this one also has the grip sawn down even further than the standard version), which, predictably, makes the spread somewhere between hilarious and pitiful. The fourth, added with Update #52, is an 1864 Wells Fargo stagecoach shotgun with external hammers and shell loops on the forend.
Wurstworld's Weinerbots also make use of sawn-off shotguns, alongside their generic revolvers and lever-action rifles.
A Remington 870-based Serbu Super Shorty is one of the weapons added in the first Meatmas update. 2 variants are available: a normal, clean version, and a "tacticool" version, complete with a door-breaching muzzle brake, a rail mount, and a set of spare shell holders that hold more shells than the gun itself does.
The Model 1887 was added to H3 with the Wurstworld update, and comes in both full length and sawn-off forms. And yes, it can be spin-cocked a laTerminator 2. (In fact, one of Wurstworld's rewards is a T2-themed sawn-off 1887, complete with a darker finish, extended lever loop, and cut-back trigger guard.)
Update #52's impressive list of new firearms includes the Winchester Model 1897, in its famous military "Trench Gun" configuration. It is correctly capable of slam-fire, and holds an appropriate 5 rounds in the tube plus one in the chamber.
An AK-101 was added in the 2016 Meatmas update. Update #40 replaced the model, and made its side-mounted dovetail rail functional, allowing for the use of Soviet-type optics (or Western ones, if an adaptor is installed).
An AKM is one of the available firearms in-game. Added in Update #13 (the 2016 4th of July update), it has an interesting list of updates under its belt; Update #40 replaced the model entirely, with one that lacked the prior model's permanently-attached side-bracket rail adaptor, the 10th alpha of Update #52 added the AKM to the arsenals of SWBs, and Update #58 added a "Tactical" model fitted with a variety of aftermarket modifications; among them are a full set of Magpul MOE furniture, a railed receiver cover, an aftermarket rear sight, an aftermarket selector lever, and an aftermarket muzzle brake.
The AKS-74U is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added in Update #18. Update #55 added a "Tactical" version with various aftermarket accessories.
The M4A1 is one of the available firearms in-game, and one of the first to be added; it predates even the game's actual name. This model was a publicly-available asset made by weapon artist Nightfrontier, who had collaborated with game lead Anton Hand on disassembling it into the game's systems.
Due to game issues relating to the original weapon model, Update #48 revamped the weapon model, replacing it with a new one that lacks the previous model's folding foregrip, and has a railed handguard, a Crane stock, an extended charging handle tab, and an aftermarket folding BUIS. The update also included a "Left Hook" variant, which is completely mirrored, and meant for left-handed users.
Added in Update #49, the "M4A1 Shorty" is, as the name implies, a variant of the M4A1 with a shorter barrel, gas system, and handguard. It doesn't specifically match any one model in particular; the most appropriate way to describe it would be a commercial "pistol" upper receiver attached to a standard M4A1 lower.

CZ SA vz. 58P
The final, full release of Update #59 brought along a series of CZ SA vz. 58 variants, the first of which is a standard, full-stocked vz. 58P ("Pěchotní", Czech for "infantry").
To compliment the full-stocked vz. 58P, Update #59 also added a CZ SA vz. 58V, the folding-stocked paratrooper model (the "V" standing for "Výsadkový", Czech for "airborne"). An additional variant with an aftermarket muzzle device, railed handguard, synthetic pistol grip, receiver-mounted scope rail, extended magazine release, and aftermarket ambidextrous bolt was also added, known as the "Custom" variant.
Along with the full-length variants, Update #59 brought along a CZ SA vz. 58 Compact. The vz. 58 Compact in-game lacks its standard side-folding stock; instead, it is compatible with the game's selection of pistol stocks.
The L85A2 is the 2nd part of the first Meatmas update's "Bullpup Trifecta", alongside the FAMAS F1 and AUG A3. Initially, there were 2 variants available - one with iron sights, and one with a SUSAT scope - but Update #52 removed the latter version, replacing it with an attachable version of the SUSAT.
The M16A1 is one of the available firearms in-game, having been added through the first Meatmas update. Update #51 brought along 2 unique scopes for the weapon: a 6-24x variable-magnification scope, and a fixed-magnification 3x20 scope.
Update #10 added a Mk 18 Mod 1, fitted with a non-standard railed handguard with rail covers, an aftermarket pistol grip, a Crane stock, and a Magpul AFG, all (save for the handguard) in tan; the latter was removed and turned into an attachment in Update #52's 3rd alpha build.

SIG SG 550
Added in Update #53, the SIG SG 550 is one of H3's usable assault rifles, and is fitted with a quad-rail handguard and a permanently-attached folding bipod.
The SIG SG 552 is one of the available firearms in-game, and was added in Update #39. Update #46 added a version with additional rails for mounting attachments.
Rounding out the "Bullpup Trifecta" of the 1st Meatmas update is the Steyr AUG A3. Of note is that the weapon's 2-stage trigger is correctly simulated, something which is very rare in games.
