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 player's magazines shown to have 31 rounds of 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. | The [[M4A1 Carbine]] is commonly seen in gameplay footage which is also in the hands of the main character.

The following weapons appear in the video game Battlefield 3:
Pistols
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 Beretta M9 pistol holstered to his vest. It can also be seen in the multiplayer footage of E3 that the player is reloading his M9.
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 player's magazines shown to have 31 rounds of 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. Another thing to note, with the recent Operation Metro multiplayer gameplay trailer. The same modeling mistake made by many current FPS game titles with the M16A4 and M4A1 weapons is the complete of removal the front sight/gas block when mounting optical sights.
AK variant
The PLR insurgents using an unknown variant of the AK rifle series.
AKS-74U
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.
PKP Pecheneg
M249 SAW
Sniper Rifles
Mk 11/SR-25

Explosives
M67 hand grenade
During the first encounter, the player is throwing M67 hand grenades on PLR insurgents.

The Browning M2HB heavy machine gun appears in the game mounted on vehicles, including M1A2 Abrams tanks. The Abrams appear to be fitted with a remote mounting for the M2HB allowing the Commander to fire the weapon from inside the safety of the turret, a feature recently implemented on real M1A2's operating in Iraq.
GE M134 Minigun
M134 Miniguns are seen mounted on AH-6 Little Birds strafing ground targets.
