Not really a discussion on the guns but does anyone else notice the timeline issue with RE6? I mean RE5 took place in 2009 and the opening for RE6's trailer says 10 years after Raccoon City, which would make it 2008. And I find it hard to imagine that this game is intended as a prequel to 5. Since these seem to be pretty catastrophic world events which I find it hard to fail to mention in RE5's timeline histories. --[[User:DarkSamuraiX1999|DarkSamuraiX1999]] 23:57, | Not really a discussion on the guns but does anyone else notice the timeline issue with RE6?

According to the newest Game Informer, which is usually pretty reliable, the game takes place after RE5 as the details release to GI by Capcom mention Wesker's death and a couple of other specifics. I'm going with that it's set after RE5. --[[User:DeltaOne|DeltaOne]] 03:04, 16 February 2012 (CST) | According to the newest Game Informer, which is usually pretty reliable, the game takes place after RE5 as the details release to GI by Capcom mention Wesker's death and a couple of other specifics.

I figured as much but that opening bit did throw me off. Somewhere in the back of my head Capcom was thinking 2018 but added up the years wrong. --[[User:DarkSamuraiX1999|DarkSamuraiX1999]] 0139, 16 February 2012 (PT) | |||
Revision as of 09:39, 16 February 2012
Is this for real? Because the bumf we've got here sounds like a bad fanfic. The Wierd It 12:47, 20 January 2012 (CST)
- For reals. http://worthplaying.com/article/2012/1/19/news/84815/ --Temp89 13:05, 20 January 2012 (CST)
Are we okay with copying and pasting Capcom's press release? --Funkychinaman 13:52, 20 January 2012 (CST)
- Why would we need to do that? The trailer's legit and we're identifying the firearms. That's pretty much where IMFDB's job ends. Spartan198 16:09, 20 January 2012 (CST)
- I meant the paragraph that's already there. ("Blending action and survival horror, Resident Evil 6 is the most ambitious, immersive..." ). [1] --Funkychinaman 16:25, 20 January 2012 (CST)
unknown pistol
Could it be a hybrid of a Springfield handgun and a Glock?Bristow8411 14:13, 20 January 2012 (CST)
It looks like a Steyr M9 to me. I don't see the Springfield's resemblance here.--FIVETWOSEVEN 22:59, 20 January 2012 (CST)
Smith & Wesson Sigma? --DeltaOne 16:14, 21 January 2012 (CST)
I say it's either Smith & Wesson Sigma or M&P --DarkSamuraiX1999 20:23, 6 February 2012 (PT)
Here's a screencap of the slide rear. Definitely not a Steyr M9. --John 234 03:29, 8 February 2012 (CST)
It looks like a H&K USP to me. gonna have to wait till the game is released.
- No way it's the USP. Although between this weapon and Leon's handgun, I'm starting to wonder if these aren't placeholder weapons - like the Hybrid Assault Rifle that turned into the SIG556 and the 1911 w/compensator that turned into the 92FS in RE5. --DeltaOne 14:30, 14 February 2012 (CST)
unkwnon Rifle
in my humble opinion is an ACR rifle iron sight with an unknown, similar to m4a1 / G36, the stock is identical to the ACR and the MAGAZINE appears to be 5.56.

Look: The pistol does not seem to be a sig p226?

- Stock, yes. Everything else, no. And it's a magazine, not a clip. The Wierd It 17:25, 21 January 2012 (CST)
- Looks like a composite rifle. Front end looks like a micro-Galil, stock from ACR or Scar, cocking lever from FAMAS, rails from G36C. That cocking lever is kind of a sore point as it rules out a lot of guns no matter how much they customised it. Remember the AR in resident evil 5 was also a fictional composite rifle in previews until they changed it to a SIG556. --Temp89 17:35, 21 January 2012 (CST)
- the charging handle looks a bit SPAS-15? but this gun sure as hell ain't a shotgun though, as seen in the trailerSsate 23:37, 30 January 2012 (CST)
- The stock is definitely an ACR's, and the receiver looks kind of like a mashup, but in the first picture, I think it most closely resembles an ACR's.

It was RE5 actually and it could be subjected to change, but the game comes out this year on November, so who knows. This isn't like an early teaser trailer. Excalibur01 23:30, 21 January 2012 (CST)
- why mention RE5...? Ssate 23:37, 30 January 2012 (CST)
I would like to ACR and with a grenade launcher, I'm sick of the same weapons in racoon city operation to weapons like the M416 and they put Scar, was nonsense of course but it was far more options, they could put a FABARM FP6 and an SR-25 would be balanced and different compared to previous ones. (Sorry if it was not clear, I am Brazilian and I speak little English).
- I think you should write to capcom or whichever studio develop the game to address this... Ssate 23:37, 30 January 2012 (CST)
Fabarm Fp6 :D
SR-25
Scarlight/Scarlighter/Scar-Lighter/Scar-L/... says on 15 February 2012, 13:00, Italy (UTC+01:00) :
"An interesting hybrid weapon, in this case an Assault Rifle: the Folding/Retractable Stock, with that Adjustable Cheek Riser, clearly resembles to the one from the Magpul Masada/Bushmaster ACR/Remington ACR; the Carrying Handle could be inspired to the one of the GIAT FAMAS and/or Benelli/Franchi Spas-15, besides those of the overused AR15/M16/M4 family but, in this case, as a High-Profile, enlarged and evolved one; the Cocking Handle should also be taken from a FAMAS; the Upper Receiver, the Handguard and the Short Barrel suggest me a Benelli/Franchi Spas-15 resemblance too; the Magazine looks like a 30-Round PMag, but not sure of that, perhaps in-game it will be a 40-Round Magazine for standard as for the SIG556 from RE5... . Can't wait to play the game in November and see the final release differences, if they're going to appear... ."
VP-70
I doubt Leon's pistol is a bona fide HK VP-70. Screenshot of left side The cut of the slide front, plus what seems to be some sort of accessory groove look a lot like a PX4 or a P99. No matter what it is, however - those cuts are completely uncharacteristic of a VP-70, which is somewhat rounded. Trigger area screenshot there's a trigger pivot pin missing on the VP-70, a conspicuous disassembly catch (which the VP-70 has) and diagonal cocking serrations, which the VP lacks. It's probably another Capcom hybrid gun. Sorry about crappy screenshot resolution, by the way. --John 234 03:29, 8 February 2012 (CST)
Think they gave Leon the new PPQ? Which depending on where this game takes place in the RE series could be badly anachronistic (not that they care, look at ORC) --DeltaOne 04:10, 8 February 2012 (CST)
- It's after RE5.-protoAuthor 18:35, 14 February 2012 (CST)
Grip texture looks different, plus it looks like there's no front cocking serrations. I wish Capcom didn't do so many bizarre hybrid concept designs. --John 234 16:15, 10 February 2012 (CST)
- I think the Trigger screenshot is not leon's gun.-protoAuthor 18:35, 14 February 2012 (CST)
I thought it would be a good idea of posting this picture here rather than on the front page. Sorry for the bad quality. As you can see, Leon appears to be dual weilding what looks like his VP-70 but I can't be sure about the pistol in his left hand (right side of the screen). --Bad Boy 21:53, 15 February 2012 (CST)
H&K UMP9
Scarlight/Scarlighter/Scar-Lighter/Scar-L/... says on 15 February 2012, 13:10, Italy (UTC+01:00):
"As you can see from the name of the second image, it could be a Custom MP5, since the 30-Round Magazine shown in the picture looks for that weapon... Anyway, they're both very good SMGs, moreover they're both Heckler und Koch weapons!"
The overall shape of the receiver is more like a UMP than an MP5 Excalibur01 22:10, 15 February 2012 (CST)
