The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 3:
Pistols
Possibly Beretta M9
In the beginning of the new "Fault Line Episode 1" video, a Marine who is sitting in front of the player has a pistol holstered to his vest. This could be the standard issue Beretta M9 pistol used by the U.S. Marine Corps today.
Assault Rifles
M16A4 Rifle
The M16A4 rifle is briefly shown during gameplay footage. For some reason it has no iron sights or even optic sights, but this is because of the alpha stages of the game.
M4A1 Carbine
The M4A1 Carbine is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character. Because of the alpha stages, the in-game M4A1 can be seen fitted with iron sights, EOtech 551 Holographic sight, Trijicon 4x32 ACOG scope, Surefire Universal Weaponlight, AN/PEQ-2 laser designator, Magpul Ranger Plate and an unknown stock (possibly a painted LE stock or Magpul CTR stock). The player character also performs the weapon's reload procedure wrong, racking the charging handle after loading a new magazine rather than using the bolt release. Though this would work, it is much less practical. Another interesting thing to note is that at the start of the same trailer, the Marine the player uses is shown to have 31 rounds in his M4A1. This would mean that he has a 30 round mag and 1 in the chamber. Although during combat, one might conduct a tactical reload, loading a fresh mag while one is still in the chamber, it is not common for a Marine to already have a round chambered and a full mag loaded from the very start.
AK variant
The PLR insurgents using an unknown variant of the AK rifle series.
Machine Guns
M240B Machine Gun
The M240B appears in the hands of some U.S. Marines, and in the hands of the player, fitted with an EOtech 551 Holographic sight. The trailer shows the weapon as having a deployable bipod which can be used to increase accuracy during prolonged firing, at the cost of player mobility.
Kord Heavy Machine Gun
Kord heavy machine guns are mounted on a number of technicals.
GE M134 Minigun
M134 Miniguns are seen mounted on AH-6 Little Birds strafing ground targets.
Launchers
M136 AT4
The M136 AT4 appears in the hands of US Marines.
Mk 19 Grenade Launcher
Mk 19 grenade launchers are seen mounted on M1114 Humvees.
SMAW
The SMAW appears in "EA PWNED" Battlefield 3 special showing of destruction
Explosives
M67 hand grenade
During the first encounter, the player is throwing M67 hand grenades on PLR insurgents.
