ArmA: Armed Assault (also known as ArmA: Combat Operations in North America and simply referred to as "ArmA") is the first installment of the ArmA series, considered as the spiritual successor to the original Operation Flashpoint. It was released in North America on May 4, 2007.
The storyline revolves around a war in the fictional island of Sahrani, which was divided into two regimes; Democratic Republic of Sahrani - DRS in the north, and Kingdom of South Sahrani in the south. The player takes the role of a United States Army soldier fighting with his platoon and collaborating with the Royal Army Corps of Sahrani (RACS) against the Sahrani Liberation Army (SLA). Like Operation Flashpoint, the campaign also allows players to fight as a Special Forces Operative, a Main Battle Tank crewman and a Helicopter Transport/Attack pilot.
An expansion pack called ArmA: Queen's Gambit was released on September 28 in the same year and features new weapons, new characters (including Mercenaries and Partisans), new missions, two new storylines and gameplay improvement.
The following weapons appear in the video game ArmA: Armed Assault and its expansion pack, ArmA: Queen's Gambit:
Sidearms
Beretta M9
The Beretta M9 is the standard issue sidearm for US and RACS forces, firing a 15-round magazine. An M9 fitted with AAC EVOLUTION 9mm suppressor is also available for Special Forces operators.
Trivia: The expression "STFU" is engraved on the M9's slide in-game, and is the initials for "Shut The F*** Up".
Makarov PM
The Makarov PM, firing from an 8-round magazine, appears as the standard sidearm for the SLA.

FN M240G
The M240G is used as a General Purpose Machine Gun (GMPG) by the US forces, as well as the standard-issue machine gun for the RACS. Note that whilst the M240G is correct for the USMC forces depicted in-game, the M240B would be more accurate for the US Army faction. It is also mounted in both US and RACS machine gun nests.

General Dynamics GAU-12/U
