Nice, but where's the trigger? This article or section is incomplete. You can help IMFDB by expanding it. |
The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield: Vietnam:
M1911A1
The M1911A1 is the standard US/ARVN sidearm, with a 9-round magazine (Note that the Standard USGI M1911A1 actually has a 7-Round Magazine). In the reload animation you can see the player putting a magazine in, the slide moves forward and then he pulls the slide again. In reality he would waste one bullet by doing that.
Smith & Wesson Model 19
The 6-inch barrel Smith & Wesson Model 19 is used by US Special Forces, cylinder holds six rounds.
it looks like a m29 on that second picture.
Norinco Type 54
The Type 54 Pistol is the Chinese copy of the Tokarev TT-33 Pistol, except that the Chinese model has a frame mounted safety. The Type 54 is the standard NVA/VC sidearm, the magazine holds 8 rounds of 7.62x25mm Tokarev.
M16A1
The M16A1 Rifle is used by the US and ARVN. A semi-auto only variant with a scope can be used as a sniper weapon, both have 20-round mags. The scoped variant has a silencer in the menu and sounds like a silenced m16 but has no silencer while playing. Also, note how the weapon has been reversed, with having the ejection port on the left side.
XM177E2
The XM177E2 is used by ARVN and US Special Forces (A version with an XM148 grenade launcher is used by US Special Forces).
M14
The M14 Rifle is the standard rifle for US Demolition Class. Holds only 10 rounds despite having a 20 round magazine and has it's bolt handle on the left.
M21
The M21 Sniper Rifle is one of three possible choices for the Sniper Class. It is identical in-game to the M14 except it has a scope.
M40
The M40 Sniper Rifle is one of three possible rifles for the Sniper Class, holds five rounds. Note how the gun is a left-handed shooter's rifle.
Norinco Type 56
The Type 56 Assault Rifle is the Standard NVA weapon and the underfolding bayonet cannot be used. Some rifles are standard-stocked Type 56s while others are underfolder-stock Type 56-1s. Note that there is no disassembly push-button on the rear upper end of the receiver, no post within the sight, and the bolt location on the left.
Norinco Type 56 Carbine (SKS)
The Type 56 Carbine (AKA Chinese SKS) is used by the NVA demolition class, and by the VC as a sniper. Like the Type 56 rifles, the bayonet cannot be used, no post is present within the sight and the bolt once again, has been placed to the left.
SVD Dragunov
The SVD Dragunov is one of two NVA sniper weapons and once again, it has an empty front sight and incorrect bolt location.
Mosin-Nagant M1891/30 Sniper
The M1891/30 Sniper Rifle is one of two NVA sniper weapons, it being the only scoped sniper rifle for VC. Note the left handed bolt and how it is seen as a mainstream weapon despite no left handed Mosins ever being produced. Similar thing can be seen on the poster of Enemy at the Gates
Mossberg 500
One of two US Infantry Weapons, the Mossberg 500 Shotgun is available with a sawed-off pistol grip and heat shield. Note the incorrect (left side) ejection port.
M60 Machine Gun
The M60 machine gun is perhaps the most infamous weapon in the game due to a well-known early balance issue; the release version of the game featured a US kit with the M60 and LAW, with the M60 extremely damaging (you pointed it at people and they died) and accurate enough to be used for sniping. This essentially meant games boiled to to re-enactments of Rambo: First Blood Part 2, only with the same number of John Rambos as Vietnamese. This was quickly addressed in patches; the M60 was placed in a kit with the M79 rather than the much more powerful LAW, and both machine guns were made drasically less accurate.
M79 Grenade Launcher
The M79 grenade launcher is used by US and ARVN. Has yellow tiger stripe camouflage paint on the barrel similar to the M79 used by "The Roach" in Apocalypse Now.
M72 LAW
The M72 LAW is the standard US/ARVN Anti-Tank Weapon.
MAT-49
The MAT-49 is the only sub-machine gun in the game and is used by NVA and VC engineers. Also the only shoulder arm to have a correct bolt and ejection port location.
Mk 2 Hand Grenade
The Mk 2 hand grenade is used in the game.
RGD-1 Stick grenade
The RGD-1 Stick Grenade is used in the game.
S-Mine
The S-Mine is used in the game.
Type 53
The VC machine gun is the Type 53 (DPM).
Degtyarev RPD
The RPD is the standard NVA machine gun.
B40
The B40 (Vietnamese copy of the Soviet RPG-2) is the standard VC Anti-Tank Weapon.
RPG-7
The RPG-7 is the standard NVA Anti-Tank Weapon.
9K32 Strela 2
NVA/VC Anti-Air Weapon
BGM-71 TOW
The BGM-71 TOW is seen mounted on the Ford M151 MUTT.
