Global Operations (2002)

Global Operations was an online first-person shooter developed by Barking Dog Studios and released by Crave Entertainment/Electronic Arts in 2002. During development, the Vancouver-based development team rented real firearms from Felcan Enterprises, the same Canadian movie armory that has supplied weapons to Stargate: SG1, The X-Files, and other productions filmed in Vancouver. (Some additional weapons were also rented from the California-based armory Gibbons Ltd.) The artists fired and took pictures of the guns that they rented, and used this source material to depict the firearms more realistically than any game which had been released up to that time. This is perhaps the first time any game development team ever attempted this, and it has since become common practice for many big-budget games (e.g. the Call of Duty franchise).

Assault Rifles

Norinco Type 56/Norinco Type 84S

Although the game refers to this weapon as the AK-47, it is in fact a Norinco Type 84S which can be noted by the straighter 5.56x45mm magazine (visible when reloading) and hooded sight. However pre-release pictures shows it as the Norinco Type 56. It can be modified with a scope.

Olympic Arms K3BM4-A3

The Olympic Arms K3BM4-A3 appears, referred to as "Olympic Arms M4". The reason for the presence of this M4 clone is that Felcan Enterprises, the Canadian armory which supplied weapons to the development team, seems to use mostly Olympic Arms lower receivers for most of its AR-model rifles. The 3D artists would have photographed one of these guns to use for the textures on the in-game gun model. It can be modified with a scope, suppressor, and Beta-C drum magazine.

Machine Guns

Daewoo K3

In the game, this is supposed to be an M249, but the weapon model is clearly a Daewoo K3, a South Korean machine gun. The reason for this is that Felcan Enterprises, the Canadian armory which rented weapons to the development team, only seems to have K3s in inventory, and not genuine M249s. Note that the in-game weapon has a fake M249 Paratrooper stock machined from sheet metal, identical to the K3s seen in 3000 Miles to Graceland and early seasons of Stargate: SG1; this is because the weapon provided to the dev team by Felcan is one of the same guns used in those productions.

Knight's Armament Stoner 96 LMG
